You drive closer to the fight to pick up the child, who was the figure standing off to the side lines.
The fight seems to be 2 on 3.
Both combatants on the first side seem human at a glance, but they have the same pointed ears as the crier.
One is a male in what you can only assume is a tube top, wielding a sword and shield. The other is towering man in bulky armor wielding a halberd. They're fighting 3 humanoid creatures, but 2 have clearly non human traits. Both of the abnormals are women. All three seem to be wearing a white robe with blue and gold trimmings. The one facing off against the lithe man in the tube-top, sports large horns on her head and a pair of leathery wings she uses to quickly flutter away from his sword strikes. The female fighting the large man with the halberd has cat ears on her head, fluffy paws, and tail. You can see her robe has been cut and torn in several places as to not hinder her animal like movements.
The large man and the cat like woman trade blows. The cat woman can't seem to get at the mans armor, and the mans blows are too slow to hit the woman. The final fighter is a male with pointed ears and is circling the armored man with a rapier, but is suffering from a nasty looking gash in his stomach.
You drive up to the boy, who appears to be no more than about 12-13ish. Once again, you note his pointed ears. You adjust your shades and say, "Get in if you want to live, I'm taking you to the manor". The boy stares at the figurine you have on the dashboard, hesitates, for a moment, then hops in. You drive away from the fight
"So whats this manor we're going too, kid"
"First of all don't call me a kid, you dried out pile of refuse. You will address me as Young Master. Understand? I'm the son of the Duke Tarvos! Anyway, the manor is my father's place and the town surrounding it. Its called Pyridge"
".... Who were those guys you were fighting?"
"Some crazy religious cult that's been popping up on different planets. I heard they worship some old ass demon god, they say the fucker's tougher than Ba'al is and stronger than Babylon is his prime. They claim if they spill of enough blood of all the major races, he'll show up.,slap every Overlord and Seraph's shit, and establish some sort of cosmic peace. They got all sorts of demons in they're fold. I also heard some angels are defecting to them. I don't know what they're doing on a back water feudal netherworld like this though. They usually target densely populated netherworld or human worlds when they can find them."
"So whats been going in say the last century?"
The same shit that's been going on since the other last century I guess. Angels and Demons fighting, Humans are still trying to establish embassies in every Netherworld and Celestia they can. I think there's one more space fairing group of humans now, so that makes like 5?
"Any other places near by?"
"Aside from a couple of caves housing some old geomancers and the Cult Compound nope. All of the other towns and cities on this planet are accessed via the town warp gate."
