Creative story! Love when heroes fight magic users. Feel bad about the stalkers, wasn't sure if there was more than one, and if there should be more than one in the story? Love the lonely ending though. Good job!

A wonderful skirmish that has characters with depth! Interesting to see the Shadow Stalkers in a positive light!!

Thank you! I really wanted to work with the Stalkers, trying to make them "good" while at the same time keeping that creepy, alien feel that the concept art gives off.

A nice classic story of a battle over a planear-portal! I’m not familiar with the Shadow Stalkers, but enjoyed coming up with my own imagery of these ever-shifting vaguely humanoid creatures with great swords. It ended on a bit of a hopeful note, but I wonder for how long loyalties will remain unshaken…

Developer

Thank you! Guess we'll see, if I continue the story sometime!

I enjoyed this story a lot - the premise was new and exciting, you did a great job dropping the reader into a new situation while giving us enough information to understand it, and a Shadow Stalkers story is always a treat.
