You wake to the sounds of the forest, and have to remind yourself that you're alone.
You didn't follow the retreat of the human army from the capital - you'd been given a much more pressing mission. The invaders were overwhelming, both in strength and magical ability, and it had been clear from the moment they'd appeared in their strange vessels and attacked that humans, by themselves, could not defeat them alone. So the order from on high had been given - unite the races of this world and throw back the invasion.
There were two problems with this. One - you didn't score terribly high in the mock debates your paladin training had given you. Two - you could remember the feeling of the control the invaders had used. You'd been running to the stables when one had caught you, and the feeling of simple bliss that had overwhelmed you, along with the taste of the alien woman's strange cock, remained in the back of your mind. You only managed to escape when Regina, your Kitsune friend, had clobbered the being over the head and helped you escape. You were lucky they hadn't moved past oral.
That was beside the point - it was going to take something incredible to overcome the vast power of the attackers, and you were pretty sure Regina wasn't able to knock out every single one of them every time.
Speaking of which, where in the world is Regina right now? And who are you going to go to first for aid?
