We got a move on much later that day, sometime after nightfall. We’d awoken while it was still light out and discussed our strategy some, but there wasn’t a lot to say about the basic strokes of what we had to do: infiltrate the castle, find Sherra, and beat her.

Jade knew the castle’s basic layout, but understandably, not where Sherra herself would be or what the defenses were like. Our safest course of action thus would’ve been to gather intel first, but there was no guarantee we’d learn what we wanted to know. Moreover, reconnaissance was time-consuming. Every minute we wasted in town was another minute Sherra might be using to muster her forces or track us down, putting us in even hotter water than before. That left us with only one option—strike first, ask questions later! Yeah, it might’ve been absurdly reckless, but it was the only hope we had of catching the enemy flat-footed.

And so we left Maias to guard the fort, while Gourry, Luke, Mileena, Jade, and I made for the night-cloaked castle. The sliver of moon in the sky illuminated its dim stone walls.

“Welp, guess we’d better do this,” Luke said.

The group nodded in response. Our three casters then started chanting spells. I grabbed Gourry and Luke lifted Jade over the wall with a Levitation spell. Our destination was the guest lodging house on the castle grounds, which Jade claimed to know well enough. We flew along, letting him point the way.

Obviously, it was no sure bet that Sherra would be there, but it was as good an educated guess as any. If it turned out to be wrong, we could always tie up some guards there and get them to spill the beans on her whereabouts.

Soon enough, we touched down on the roof of the lodging house.

“So... how do we sneak in?” Luke asked.

“No need,” replied a voice that didn’t come from any of us.

In surprise, we all looked to see who it was. The source was a floating shadow, backed by the sliver of moon...

A demon!
