Encounter

As I was staying guard, the weather seemed to change. Fog as red as blood began gathering on the dirt. It was so thick one would think it was liquid red water.

"Interesting phenomenon," I mumbled, and just as I spoke, I felt a shiver running down my spine. Something out there is watching me.

"Everyone, ready up for battle!" I said. But nothing came back, no reply, and no words were spoken.

I turned to the cave and went inside, everyone was dead asleep.

The fog had penetrated into the cave and seemed to have caused them to doze off, I couldn't even wake them up.

"Shit," I cursed then pulled out several talismans I had on me. I splattered them across the ground and they erected a protective barrier that stopped the fog from coming in.

"Y, protect them."

Y came out of my Poison God's Book and stood tall at the front of the barrier.

"Lord, are you venturing out this night? It seems to be dangerous," Y spoke.
