[19:13] {NARRATION} Salvas vs Zeriel
Neo vs Sera
Vaan vs Ren Shi
Niklaus vs Isaac
Chaaca vs Nakiri
Quincy vs Tototl
Chroma vs Ashura
Sienna vs Zhu
Theodore vs Nirlaxo
Gisei vs Evi
Saige vs Firestarter
Judas vs Xixtli
Belle vs Ashur
Hathor vs Kitani
Artaghh vs Ume
Fouka, Nasu, Iral vs Aspen, Eniel, Jennifer (1 or 0 cap)

Rules of the engagement:
- Capture chance of 2 or 3. Dangerous.
- Neither side has any interventions.
- If you don't have a matchup, please a-help your name, side, & RPL! We might be able to do something depending on what's left, but no guarantees. We will reply to you if we do find a suitable match.
- Make sure to a-help the result of your battle & if there was a capture!

On victory:
1.) Huangzhou can cripple their target, removing settlement protections in the area for a number of years. Key defenses and infrastructure will be destroyed, and they'll gain a war bounty. (This could be escalated further in future battles), but the idea is to not end a faction prematurely.
2.) If Dawn wins, they can either go on the counter and attack Huangzhou, or block sieges for a number of years.
[19:13] There is nothing. Amalka's mind goes blank amongst the flying of magic.

She leans in to Quincy, and gives one last, slow whisper. "I will be here with you, every step of the way."

With that, she drinks the invisibility potion.

[19:15] Lucien Voss says, "Inviting the Shengese for drinks, Arthur? I expect you to have them running by sundown."
[19:19] The man would take his blade out as he follow his comrades to battle. Here he would see so many different types of mages. The man knew this was not going to be a easy battle looking at who they were facing. No. Not at all. The three before him look like the rowdy bunch.

Fouka would look to the other two who were on his side.

What could he truly say to these strangers? He didn't know he didn't care.

"Doesn't matter how this goes. Blood will be spilled today." Fouka would get his stance ready and then nod. They knew the plan and it was now prepared.

[19:23] With her vampiric blood oozing out of her pores and an open wound she had inflicted upon her own arm, the vampire would haunt the battlefield like a spectre of crimson.

A black figure cladded in red that splashed against blade and armor alike, tearing open throats, drowning itself in the ecstasy of the slaughter. But the taste of blood was off...THAT DAMNED LIGHTHOUSE!

The blood vampire floats in behind Aspen and Eniel as she twirls the mithril weapon around. "Ohhh, now THIS WILL BE INTERESTING! Three on one? This will be a beautiful spectacle!" Her anger had subsided for now. The thrill of combat and the smell of blood had driven her into a maddening bloss.

Even in defeat this would be seen in her predatory eyes as a victory if she got to bite out at least one neck during the fight. "Come on then, "Goody two-shoes." Let's see if your holy righteousness can keep up with a doctor."
(Jennifer Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:24] The first sign was given. As leaders from both sides gave their shouts in order to inspire their people the Young woman stepped forward. Wearing nothing but her armor and carrying no weapon other than her fists and will.

Sharpening her spirit, somehow her heart seemed to be comforted, a light embracing her being as she faced forward her destiny alongside other magi. With a group of small Non magi soldiers she marched in to battle.

Meeting a group where Fouka and someone else seeming to be fight on a rather numerical advantage. Those who stood against her allies are for sure Strong, even being unable to objectively feel it, she knew it.

Fists clenched, lungs filled. It was war after all, she knew for what and against who their forces were fighting for. This one couldn't allow herself not to fight just for a simple lack of ability.

Her finger was pointed out towards them in the distance, commanding the small group she stood with to march against them.

She kind of desperately prayed in silente, asking for any blessing, if there's any.

"May the gods protect us, if they really look forward for our sake."
(Iral Woodnshire)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:27] Nasu stands amongst the charging armies, thousands of soldiers going at each other over the field and streets, among them he was standing alongside two allies, two allies he's not introduced himself to before but nevertheless will work with them.

Through the soldiers his gaze picked up on one, no three, one though was of interest to Nasu. "Aspen!" He yells through the combat, his fires blazing brightly, a dagger in hand discarding any undead that were near him with ease.

"You know that letter I sent, you know my intentions!" He blasts a wave of flame on more of the soldiers around, him. "So long ago you could've killed me, you could've taken me but you didn't, you left me alive to keep me suffering to haunt me!"

A fiery sword forms in his hand, it burnt as bright as a star, the heat was felt far and the grass under his feet charred to ash and smoke.

"And now I see my sister, my tortured, damned sister standing by you!? Addressing you like a friend?! No! I will turn you into the pile of ash you deserve to be! All three of you!"

Heat condenses around his form, the sword began to break shape and lash out like a wild fire, he takes on the ifrit stance and shifts his feet, he was going to take the charge, be the wildfire that forever devours the fuel and these three enemies happened to be his fuel.

"No more of you fiends!" He explodes fire magic under his feet and launches towards them.
(Nasu Ixis Kimyona)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:28] Eniel had only recognized one of them, The man who attempted to halt him from claiming Wesley's head that day something he would remember with great fury but he set his frustrations aside, He was now an enemy and he would get his chance to claim victory on him.

Grabbing his blade he charged it with deadly lightning, Occultism swirling from his blade flowed like an electrical current making the air around Eniel feel like pins and needles do those he felt hatred for. As far as the other two at his side he had only known of them through mutuality's.

Aspen was known for her connections with his family, And Jennifer mostly in passing through Vedran... Eniel could not hold himself back from the carnage that was about to ensue all he could do was embrace it.

A prayer to his god under his breath before the battle took place, The only words he would speak while he readied himself for battle.

'O' Lord Belial, May your wicked laughter fill my body with the glory I need to Liberate these poor fools, Let me separate them from that has caused them to enjoy the life of chains, To embrace their own slavery and to work for their slavers blindly. And with your champion bathed in your crimson glow. I will Free their souls from imprisonment.' and indeed he did have a crimson glow he reached into his bag and downed a few potions before beginning the match proper.

He would not fail this...He would do whatever it took to win. For Dawn and for himself.


(Eniel Daigal)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:28] Jennifer Ivanovich asks, "Ohh...Are we drinking potions?"
[19:28] There they stood on the brink of war. The Invidia, Aspen. The Ghoul Knight of Dawn. Truly she was excitable for ripping into the boundaries of, not only the Lifestream, but of the humans who stood before the Ghoul.

Her ebony infused eyes shone bright within the mahogany pupils of her. The prowess displayed well in her vitality shrouding her person, along with the enlarged wings created from multiple rifts that carried her above the grounds.

Her blade was wielded as she held on tightly to the black, metallic hilt where blood connected from a slit at the bottom it is, extending outward from it. A brittle blade hardened with many layers of ice that coated its entire creation.

Some few allies were beckoned with the woman. Jennifer, her former step sister under the Ivanovich surname, and Eniel, the son of Zariel.

They trekked along the fields, eventually coming into contact with few notable enemies, save for Iral who she hadn't met before.

The ghoulish eyes of Aspen glared at Nasu specifically, flicking towards Fouka momentarily with a pleased look.

"I remember you with Adira long ago. Your wife hurt my ally, and here we stand against all odds on the field of death. I hope you're prepared~."

And within that second of her speech coming to end, Aspen's mien deepens as she gazes towards the Kimyona; the child of Ume.

"And finally I found myself against you - Kimyona. I hope you're ready for my brutality. Because I won't."

"Be."

"Kind."

And in that second, in the Invidia's willpower, she aims to utilize the very forces of the world to bend at her will, albeit only minor- Rifts tear open. Small, medium, large sized across the field by either that will or by daggers of blood and ice floating about, crystallized by her magics.

Spirits protrude from all, flanking the adversaries they found themselves against. No more words are spoken, and in a moment's notice, more of the ghoul's ichor floats through those rifts and into their realm; plenty of it for fighting against Nasu, Fouka, and Iral.

And thus, the woman produces a potion from one of those rifts. A red liquid. Easily noted as a rage potion that she consumes in a ravenous manner. Her adrenaline pumps to what felt like intoxicated levels, alluring her to battle now.

Those entities she brought forth are commanded inaudibly to attack.
(Aspen Invidia)

[19:29] Fouka pops rage potion open
(Fouka Luxata)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:30] suddenly pulls out a potion of her own! She cracks open the vial, chugging down the contents of a blood-red syrup that pours down the vampire's throat.

A rage potion. Could that even affect a vampire's burning hatred? Clearly it. Evidently yes, as the glow in the cainite's eyes burned heavier with her bloodlusting rage.

"Blood-FEED ME BLOOD!" She roared out before sprinting forward first into the fray.

Oh no.

[19:39] Jennifer was...Enoying this. Maybe a bit too much. Of course, it was to be expected from a literal monster. A thrashing monster released from the chains of Dawn's laws.

Finally she had something to feast on, the chained beast she struggled everyday to contain was let loose. It was going to be hard to put the lid back on the bottle.

First, the flaming krausite. It was a triple tag team of pain, but Jennifer would be the caboose that rolled over him. She grabbed him by the face, slamming them down into the ground, dragging him through the mud and dirt before Iral would catch a fully grown man coming at them at the speed of a freighter truck.

"COME ON! FACE ME! SHOW ME THAT DISGGUSTING FAITH! SHOW ME WHAT IT MEANS TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING AGAIN!" She shrieked out as the panting, mad doctor broke down, collapsing onto one knee. Someone managed to get a good hit or two in the vampire. She slammed her sword into the ground, lifting herself up as she readied her blade once more. It was time to stop playing with her food.
(Jennifer Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:39] Eniel Lived up to his name, Like a bright shooting star he blitzed around the battlefield slashing and causing floods of cosmic and dark magic to over take the arena. Hellstorm lightning invigorated by the Crimson stars charged with Belial's glare aimed towards Fouka,

Shocking them with his magics binding him with a burst of cosmic energies, With a final slash Eniel' would knock down Nasu not wanting his flames to get in the way of his teammates.

Only to be assisted by Jennifer and Aspens own powers in tandem causing fields of ice and water to irrupt around he area. And the vampires quick blade work making it even more difficult for them to avoid Eniel's lightning.

Eniel gathered lightning and cosmic energies to his blade and released it to let a wave of horrid powers break over the trio of Huangzhou warriors. Leaving nothing but his animosities for them lingering in the air.

"You call yourselves warriors? PATHETHIC Under the moon and the stars I can never lose to you...You people who wish to bind yourself to the lifestreams idiocy. Who believe the world is nothing more than what the Angels believe it to be. You will never defeat me...Huangzhou or Gehenna...You will all fall under my blade!" It was clear the corrupted powers of Beilal was taking over him, His body had begun glowing a faint and deadly crimson and his personality was becoming more and more chaotic. However he enjoyed this, To embrace his liberties his freedom of Belial was exactly how he envisioned worshiping him.
(Eniel Daigal)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:40] Admin Neps: HE CLICK TP'D AND LOCKED ONTO ME HAHA
[19:40] Admin AnMouse: holy fuck
[19:49] Many were falling, the ones besides her were going down one by one, being overwhelmed by the forces of the enemies, even with her heart beating stronger, even with her friends beliefs, there was not other fate than just defeat for her eyes.

Every time she advanced the overwhelming energy of their mana was enough to counter every single one of her's and her allies efforts. For now the little non magi struggler was doing nothing other than avoiding her destiny.

Doing nothing other than struggling against what seemed to be gods stopping her from advancing.

Kneeling down before a jump backwards being given, now she was the only one of the little group besides her. Locking her eye out of her targets would be a terrifying mistake. Not only by their speed, but looking to the corpses of her allies would be something that would hardly leave her mind.

Once more her fists were clenched.

"Damn impure beings... You all must be purged! You corrupt the land, corrupt people's hearts and hopes. Bring the dead in a poor state and consider that 'righteous!' There is no mercy for such an evil... - Words given as she stood up once more, getting to rise her fists. Prepareed once more. -

"This isn't for any nation... This is for mankind."


(Iral Woodnshire)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:49] There was that bitterness towards the vampiric abilities of Jennifer as she managed to bring down their opponents. That was a power Aspen couldn't wait to sustain herself in the future.

Only two more years.

It was hers to gain, a feat with which she worked to render herself with under the Invidian name. Under her Sire, or Father's, acceptance of the fate she'd chosen for herself.

And while Aspen's vision feels blurred, playing along the field against their adversaries, she couldn't help but to admire the vampire's movement in the way she fought. That covetous nature glinted vaguely, curious as to how it felt in beholding Cain's gift.

The rifts had been utilized. Blood was sent through, coming out on the other side, but not as their maximum force as they did going through, only to protrude from the other side and attack whichever enemy was nearest its position.

Aspen's blood foggedthe war in a thick coat. Their movements had been decelerated within her ice magics, defenses lowered, and distracted by the spirits she possessed to fight along side the trio.

It was those actions, or Aspen finding herself nearby them all that she attacked with her blade, slicing at their bodies and reaping them of their own ichor that she manipulated into her own; ultimately her allies had been who finished off each of their opponents.

The 'angelic' form of the hemomancer ghoul reeled back, entertained by their downed forms, exhilarated by their soon-to-be demises if they should be unlucky in this altercation.

"Kill them already, but do it slowly. I want to be filled with their emotions. I want to see their faces, their reactions, and the light die out from their eyes. I want what's theirs for my own."

"And that includes their lives."

[19:49] Eniel Daigal whispers: [ Yo
[19:49] Eniel Daigal whispers: [ Sera got capped, Zeriel got capped
[19:49] Eniel Daigal whispers: [ Yeet
[19:50] Aspen Invidia whispers: [oh my god are you fucking serious

[19:50] Eniel Daigal whispers: [ Clout is a monster
[19:50] Fouka would watch as his comrades would begin to fall. This was not good at all. He didn't expect this but this was never a good situation. He watched as they turn and ganged up on Nasu.

Fouka eyes would shift and he would see what plans needed to be done. He would be taking a beating as he expected such in battle. Nothing ever was easy when it came to war. This was something he needed to take in.

The man was bleeding but he would close his eyes. He thought of her as he did it.

"I shall not fall."

He would then look to the two.

"Enough sleeping we have work to do."
(Fouka Luxata)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:50] Eniel Daigal whispers: [ Slavas too
[19:50] Jennifer Ivanovich whispers: (NO!
[19:50] He launched himself forward in pure rage, influenced by the potion and the desire to kill all Dawnites and vampires, whether they were warriors or innocents, Nasu didn't care, they all were twisted to him, they all would turn to evil, corrupt necromancers or followers to him. His fire blazed brightly and he throws multiple punches with an explosive impact, a sword swinging through, slashing the sword made of fire at them, burning and cutting them but it was an overwhelming haze of blood and whatever else that got the best of him.

Exposed, Jennifer grabbed him by the head and plowed him into the ground, he was shocked so he couldn't resist the vampire and was dragged along the ground, his fire burning bright regardless and Jennifer felt it when grabbing, a fire fueled by passion to kill, avenge and rage.

He quickly explodes fire magic under him and turns to his left to shoot fire at random soldiers.. or were they citizens? He didn't care.

"'Show me what it means to believe in something?' I don't believe in anything except my own will, I don't need a religion to guide me, I know what's wrong and you three embody that!"

He condensed heat in his hand and shifts his feet, staring forward and picking a target to unleash on.

"KILL THEM ALL! ERADICATE THEM NOW! I WONT LET THEM GET AWAY!" He yelled at his allies, he lost it.
(Nasu Ixis Kimyona)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:52] ** Eniel Daigal has inflicted an injury upon Iral Woodnshire. ("Temporary Injury", "Temporary Injury", "Temporary", "Duration: Medium (4 days)") **
[20:05] Eniel's blade would not grow any duller, He would focus his opponent with the same tact despite them all aiming for him, Using his quick wits he fended off their attacks one by one using cosmic and dark magics to surround himself to stave off their blows.

Eniel gathered lightning to his sword, Charging it with a maddening glow of crimson stars and began wildly cleaving towards them aiming to cut one of them into pieces, His aim was directed towards the woman, She happened to be the first in his way.

A malicious grin at her words of wanting to 'purge' the evil and the corrupt yet she was clearly only bound by what was taught to her, Eniel's madness only continued to consume him until he could finally not hold it back. A heinous lightning glowed from his blade and struck her side, The burn patter making a bright electrical patter on her body that vibrated with cosmic taint.

Eniel was a ravaged her flesh that remained, Slicing his blade deeperinto her skin making sure it hurt her. But as he was prepared to plunge his blade deeper he was set upon by Fouka and Nasu and had to take quick action.

As he seemed to be surrounded he would focus having feeling a clarity with the area around him he honed in on what needed to be done and utilized his magics to open forth a rift to hide himself in at the very moment of their strikes.

Although he was unable to return during the length of the battle he eventually reopened the rift and stepped out as the battle had seemed to be over, He still felt pain and a little bruised but otherwise he was healthy enough to keep fighting.

"It seems this is our victory, Pathetic warriors of Gehenna and of Kraus. You are failures who only bind yourself to a foolish and simple ideal of peace and harmony. In a world that is liberated there will always be chaos. There is no world where Freedom can exist without it. Thus the world you strive for is impossible. It is a world were people must follow the laws of nature and of angels It is a world I will always resist. For I AM Agartha's Liberate. And I will bring freedom to all either with death, Or with the stars. "


(Eniel Daigal)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:06] That vampiric strength waned during the fight. maybe it was because she was a fledgling, maybe it was because of the tower. either way, Jennifer was starting to flounder, but even a floundering fish could slap!

Once the trio began to rout, with Aspen sending the last two on her way, Jennifer growled under her breathe with a hiss of pain as the vampire held her side. Already the wound could be seen healing, especially after managing to drink some of the blood spilt during the fight.

"Ahhh...That was exhilarating...NOW! Let's celebrate with a victory f-" She blinked, noticing they were all gone, outside of her fellow combatants.

"...Lame. Guess i'm eating non-magi again. Bleh."
(Jennifer Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:14] Almost akin to insanity, with the effects of a rage potion, her emotional vortex of Ghouldom, and the empowerment of a fairy almost seemed like an unrealistic dream come true.

In that immense rush of adrenaline, the swelling of her muscles, her silhouette dancing along the fields to cause a dreadful, hair raising chill, the ethereal warriors, and her attunement with blood and ice, she was relentless in ending the battle quickly to bring on their slow demises.

She was in tandem with the other two, but her focus was mostly aimed entirely at Nasu Kimyona, the kitsune she wanted most of all in this ordeal to fall. Aspen was tunnel visioning, until he was down for the count briefly in this battle. Unfortunately, Aspen hadn't been who'd taken him down, but as her allies fell and she was the last to stand, she made the most of what lay visibly across the fields.

The overwhelming dread of her magics flooded the field, bearing on depravity throughout the haze of red that hide her within, mystifying, reappearing, and coming down against Fouka and Iral mercilessly with her blade by slashing through them.

The damage wasn't anything enough to cause long term injuries, however.

Both had been cut down, allowing Dawn the victory, and in that moment as she jumped through one of the many rifts, reappearing by the downed allies, water stretched outward towards them, aiming to graze their injuries for healing, amalgamating with her blood to further the healing.

The blood of a ghoul.

Aspen's own injuries sustained were regenerating, and she hovered above several feet, lowing then as the wings of blood retracted towards her person into crimson ovals behind her shoulder blades.

"As expect."

"As I'd expect."

"You're the one to fall. All of you." Her voice hissed out as she stepped forward with her blade, grinning widely. The woman's agile movement closed in the distance while she worked to tear in more rifts around the trio.

That'd have been their moment to escape! Jumping through one of the many rifts. Where it'd send them off would've been a mystery. Back to Huangzhou? A few feet nearby the fight that'd allow them the chance to ultimately escape the crazed ghoul's ambition to kill them all?

Either way, their chance was present, despite their hatred towards her ability, that was how they'd get away from her.

"And now."

"I'm going to take your blood as my own to kill you."
(Aspen Invidia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:25]
{LOAD GAME}

[20:26] His fires were all over, he was multitasking, going for soldiers, and the three in front of him, his main target happened to be the child, the younger one.. no matter of age, if they're young or an elder they were twisted, he tried to save them but they can't be saved, he must put them down.

He throws multiple punches at the child, his adrenaline and fires trying it's best to melt and vaporize the blood, to repel the other two magi while he beat on Eniel.

With a strong attack, Nasu condensed heat just before his fist and punches Eniel in the shoulder, an explosive force surely knocked him from the battle that time but at that point he was again getting overwhelmed.

Jennifer's strength of a vampire was enough to drag him down to the ground, crashing him into the ground and taking him out.

Remarkably no injuries.

He made his own escape, he would never use a wicked rift to escape. Through the chaos of fire and rift tearing hr blasts fire magic from his feet and launches off, blasting any more soldiers he can before fleeing. Bruised and beaten, he lost.

Bruised and beaten wasn't anything new to him, he'll come back stronger.
(Nasu Ixis Kimyona)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:26] Defeat.

In the end it was her knees to meet the ground. And even in her last advance, it seemed that she was no other than... Just a simple woman, it was obvious that her mundane power could not match the mighty of an Undead army.

Nor could her support the allies under the same banner as hers. It was a fail, so great that she couldn't really care much to the pain, what really disturbed her was her energy being drained. The righteous kind feeling fullfiling her heart from before was now missing, slowly vanishing.

And even worse, her feeling before expressed didn't vanish as well, it just got stronger. Although impossible to be shown true.

To the light in the dead end she dragged herself into. Struggling to escape from them as the dust came up. The source of their evil was the only escape route. And... Even if destroyed physically and mentally it was indeed true.

She still wanted to live.

"Damn beasts... Justice will be made..." She could barely speak, but cursed them on the last few moments before escaping.
