[[dang been meaning to write this just haven't had time or the presence of mind to remember it, sorry guys]]
The arrows sailed past Ostas as the Odium started firing in great volume. The archer that had stood in front of him had taken an arrow to his throat and had tumbled backwards off the wall. He saw another man fall back off the wall and readied his shield and shouted "Swords forward! Prepare for the ladders!"
And with those words the remaining archers stepped back to let the swordsmen move to the front. Ostas felt his stomach sink as he saw the number of the Odium Warband, it must have been hundreds if not a thousand of them. "Say a prayer my brothers, and fight like the wolves!"
The first ladder thudded against the wall and impaled a swordsman through his chest plate with a spike. A grappling hook flew past Ostas' head and down into the village behind him. With a swift swing of his sword he cut the line and raised his shield. Several arrows thunked as they sunk into his shield, though the arrows were beginning to cease their constant rain as the ladders started to line the wall.
The Odium began to surge up the ladders and beginning the fight in earnest, with swords at the ready. Ostas quickly dispatched the first to come up the ladder in front of him. However the next one up tackled him backwards off the wall, and onto the hard ground below.
The Odium grasped his neck and attempted to choke him, and Ostas' sword lay several feet away from him, accidently flung during his fall. Try as he might he couldn't throw the Odium from atop him, until one of the wolves leapt from the side and ripped the Odium's throat open.
Ostas threw the dead body and retrieved his sword. "Thanks Star Hunter." Ostas said to the wolf that was now waiting for him.
The two of them turned when they heard several of the Odium jump down from the wall. Ostas blocked the first strike and brought his sword up and through one of the three warriors arms, sending the extremity flying off to the left, then finishing the creature with a strike to the neck that left it clutching at it's throat. Turning he spotted Star Hunter dodging the swings of one of the Odium, and occasionally biting the warrior. Ostas turned to the third, unoccupied warrior and charged him.
The warrior raised his shield and blocked the initial blow before swinging his sword and leaving a gash in Ostas armor. Ostas blocked the follow up swing and stabbed the warrior through his chest plate and through his heart. Pulling his sword back out he turned to see the Star Hunter ripping the Odium's throat out.
Which is when he felt the blade pierce his back. He felt a boot on his back and was pushed off of the sword and onto the ground. Ostas rolled to see that his attacker was not an Odium, but a strange creature in heavy steel armor that said "Burn the village, kill everyone but this weakling. Let him lament at the destruction of his home and the death of his people. Let his cries of torment instill fear in our enemies!"
The Odium that weren't occupied with trying to kill or burn something responded by banging their weapons against their shields or armor, making a racket that nearly deafened Ostas.
The creature pointed it's sword at Ostas "And let the world fear us, creatures born of hate and blood shed. For we will destroy any who stand in our way. Praise to Gornfal!"
and for the first time in his life Ostas heard the Odium speak "Praise! Praise! Praise!"
Ostas watched them butcher the people while he lay there, after being tied up when he tried to stand. He watched them light the buildings on fire and chase the wolves, though they failed to catch them. And then they untied him and marched on, and he did nothing. Attempting to fight them would only get him killed.
Instead he waited, and then began towards the forest. He would visit the wolves.


-----------------------------------------
Gornfal (bare bones but I wanted to just lay down the ground work)
A god of pain and suffering. He enjoys watching scenes of destruction and murder, and will often reward his followers whom have killed many in his name.
He is often depicted to have ashen grey skin and missing both his ears, and with no discernable eyes.
Though there is something not even the other gods know, that he is the god of the Odium, who praise him in hopes that he aids their quest for blood, killing, and destruction.
