  1. Ashera would take a calm kneel As she would look towards the angel with a kind nod.
  2.  
  3. "Lady Elisheva your grace. It is truly a blessing for you to be here... Are you going to assist us with your help in these tough times?"
  4. (Ashera Ixis)
  5. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  6.  
  7. [18:01] Shai eventually looks up and notices.... Why is she bowing before Jesse...
  8. (Shai Oshura)
  9. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  10.  
  11. [18:01] Noel Elisheva says, "That is what I want. Feel every moment."
  12. [18:01] Shai stands up, confusedly.
  13. (Shai Oshura)
  14. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  15.  
  16. [18:01] Mital Vindict says, "Yeeaaah, no Fouka."
  17. [18:01] Perseus Kang whispers something.
  18. [18:02] Mital Vindict says, "I'm going back north."
  19. [18:02] Sera Elisheva says, "Understand as best we can, this is our first real conflict."
  20. [18:02] Jesse Hawke says, "So many people..."
  21. [18:02] Mital Vindict says, "This isn't the Gehenna I helped raise up."
  22. [18:02] Fouka Luxata says, "*Shakes head* im sorry Mital"
  23. [18:02] Denier Nevus says, "Sera.. I would stay to you, if you feel in danger, step awa y from the battle."
  24. [18:02] Fouka Luxata says, "I have no say on the matter"
  25. [18:02] Denier Nevus says, "Yiren"
  26. [18:02] Sera Elisheva says, "I am sure I'll be fine."
  27. [18:02] Yiren Lian asks, "Yes, Denier?"
  28. [18:02] Denier Nevus says, "Do not die."
  29. [18:02] Sera Elisheva says, "Lady Elisheva is here now."
  30. [18:02] Varick would crack his knuckles
  31. (Varick the Wayfarer )
  32. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  33.  
  34. [18:02] Yiren Lian says, "I wouldn't dare."
  35. [18:03] Hito Cooper asks, "Aye Maza. You ready to beat some undead fucks?"
  36. [18:03] Mazatl Heart says, "Duh."
  37. [18:03] Mazatl Heart says, "I'm gonna smack the shit outta them."
  38. [18:03] Mazatl Heart says, "And Imma look whoever's leading them in the face and kick him in the shins."
  39. [18:03] Denier shakes slightly, his body overflowing with cosmic mana, ready to burst agaisnt the masses of hostile undead.
  40. (Denier Nevus)
  41. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  42.  
  43. [18:03] Denier Nevus says, "Good."
  44. [18:03] Hito Cooper says, "Aye, that's what I like ta hear."
  45. [18:03] Mazatl Heart says, "Fucking pussy ass skeletons."
  46. [18:03] Hito Cooper says, "Fuck 'em skeletons."
  47. [18:03] Mazatl Heart says, "No, you'll get sick."
  48. [18:03] Mital Vindict says, "..."
  49. [18:03] Mital Vindict asks, "Who are these birds?"
  50. [18:03] Varick the Wayfarer says, "Carrion's bad for ye mate..."
  51. [18:03] Denier Nevus says, "Allys, Mital."
  52. [18:03] Sinael Anauel asks, "Birds...?"
  53. [18:03] Renegin Billard says, "Believe their angels, lad."
  54. [18:04] Noel Elisheva says, "We have names! I'm Noel."
  55. [18:04] Sera Elisheva says, "I am Sera."
  56. [18:04] Mikhaila Elisheva exclaims, "Mikhaila!"
  57. [18:04] The tall, silver-eyed woman looked to Ashera; her expression, as usual, is unchanging, typically stern (if relaxed) looking with straight lips. Though the occasional smile does show, and in a nod toward the woman it does so. "Watching. Focus on what's ahead of you."
  58.  
  59. Her hand lifts and her fingers unwind; particles of holy mana ignite around Ashera. Silvery droples of mana that twirl around her for a moment, invigorating her spirit.
  60.  
  61. "And what's behind, too."
  62.  
  63. Her wings unfurl and she takes to the sky in a single flutter of them, drifting up.
  64. (Elisheva)
  65. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  66. [18:05] {NARRATION} After the Undead Horde had left a searing scar across Thalassia's plains, the army was said to have been directed toward Gehenna next. It had been years since they had first struck against the southern region, given Arthur Rowan's first order had been to enslave as many corpses from the tribelands as they could kill.
  67.  
  68. Without the Lich at the head, however, the Horde had become far more volatile. Where they marched, they left only destruction and death, reviving far less than even Arthur had ever wanted.
  69.  
  70. And as the defense of Gehenna was formed, the same smoke and smog that predicated the undead's movements appeared first in the mountains near the lakes, and then they began to permeate the Dreadwoods themselves...
  71.  
  72. The Horde had arrived.
  73.  
  74. And so native Gehennans and those who had traveled across Agartha to fight back the menace entered the darkened forest. Despite its usual, eerie air, there was something far worse present, something incorrect with the world and the setting.
  75.  
  76. There were no soldiers present, no armored thralls awaiting the living.
  77.  
  78. Instead the cloud of corruption ebbed forth, and through it a horde of unliving nature itself. Animals that had been slaughtered and beaten stood in a line, bearing down on guards and magi alike.
  79.  
  80. Every undead creature was in obvious pain, some with vines and thorns weaving through mortal wounds that bled across the purpled grass and trees. They could not speak, but they're eyes said enough.
  81.  
  82. The two large wolves at the front bared their teeth, seeing only more enemies and more sorrow before them. Their nightmare would never end.
  83. [18:29] Fouka Luxata says, "Is this the help we wanted"
  84. [18:29] Nameless says, "What....What is this?..."
  85. [18:29] Fouka Luxata says, "To see them kill what defends us"
  86. [18:29] Krez says, "Kraus might watch over us..."
  87. [18:29] Sinael Anauel whispers something.
  88. [18:29] Ashera Ixis says, "Kraus will watch over us."
  89. [18:29] Perseus Kang whispers something.
  90. [18:30] {NARRATION} (Also please everyone back up so the sumons can come up without fighting you)
  91. [18:30] Sinael Anauel whispers something.
  92. [18:30] Ashera Ixis says, "I will as well."
  93. [18:30] Amalka asks, "What is a good formation here?"
  94. [18:30] Yiren Lian says, "The Emperor, Kraus, and spirits all watch over us as we do their work."
  95. [18:30] Yiren Lian says, "Don't shame them."
  96. [18:30] Sinael Anauel exclaims, "A bunny?!"
  97. [18:31] Amalka asks, ". . . Ah, will agility potions work with undead material?"
  98. [18:31] Shai Oshura asks, "If they have circuitry the potions could work... wait, what?"
  99. [18:31] Esso finds himself standing beside Izabell. He glances at the Black Rose leader, nodding before looking back at the incoming creatures, drawing his dagger.
  100. (Esso Naam)
  101. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  102.  
  103. [18:32] Sun Heifang whispers something.
  104. [18:32] She had expected to see another horde of undead - perhaps even enormous abominations as she had fought before. But as the unnatural miasma settled in over them she spotted the beasts. Undead, certainly, but beasts nonetheless. Slightly disappointing - but part of the wretched hoard all the same.
  105.  
  106. Drawing in a deep breath; golden flames rising to a brilliant, incandescent white, the woman stepped forward. Ready to fight. They would burn as well as anything else.
  107. (Cheska Railen)
  108. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  109.  
  110. [18:32] Varick would grit his teeth, This was a grim sight to see.
  111. The man would draw his greatsword, looking around to the non magi taking up arms around him.
  112.  
  113. "Stay in formation lads, Knowing the undead they're goal is to take as many of our corpses as they can! Stay with the magi corps, and watch eachother's backs! Don't give the bastard Lich what he wants!"
  114. (Varick the Wayfarer )
  115. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  116.  
  117. [18:33] Such an overwhelming presence of such existed in these carnal beings of nature. Those who had unwillingly now found themselves staring down at these children and warriors alike. One could see in the depths of what were now abominations, had once existed as peaceful entities living as all creatures had been meant to.
  118.  
  119. This, abominable act of necromancy nothing more than a means to bring about pain upon the unwilling. Nothing more than a way to bend creatures and humans alike to your will, all to battle in such pointless conflicts.
  120.  
  121. "They... They don't want this. They're all in pain, don't hate these creatures." The child spoke as he could feel each and everything around this area. The overwhelming corruption and rot that stemmed from such beings, the pain in their eyes as they snarled and snapped at these approaching warriors.
  122.  
  123. "They need to be put to rest, allow their suffering to end."
  124.  
  125. Nodding to his siblings all the very same, golden blades would find themselves forming around the figure of Sera.
  126.  
  127. Readied for this conflict, for those who had never once been willing to endure what would soon come their way.
  128. (Sera Elisheva)
  129. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  130.  
  131. [18:33] Fouka would grit this teeth in anger.
  132.  
  133. Though he would have to do what he was set to do. "In the name of the mother land. In the name of the spirits. In the blessings of Wind Serpent Quezelcoatl. I shed my blood today to bind myself to one who binds their spirit with me as well."
  134.  
  135. As the blood would drip and he see the forest fighting to hold off the undead he would close his eyes.
  136.  
  137. "Adira Luxata. I bind my blood and my spirit with yours. Our gift to the spirits will be the blood of our enemies. I will forever stay by your side and treasure every moment."
  138.  
  139. He would slang his blade out.
  140.  
  141. "I shall fight with you and also be with you to the very end."
  142. (Fouka Luxata)
  143. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  144.  
  145. [18:33] Upon entering the dreadwoods, Hito would be met with not a legion of undead soldier, but instead what seemed to be a...petting zoo? Various animals were found-- all of which seemed angry.
  146.  
  147. "Heh, so we're fightin' a buncha animals huh? It ain't matter to me who the enemy is, they goin' down all the same!"
  148.  
  149. Cosmic energies around the Kitsune began to grow more as he prepared to let loose.
  150. (Hito Cooper)
  151. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  152.  
  153. [18:33] Animals. Could he still call them that?
  154. They had become abominations, something that wasn't meant to exist.
  155. Li could feel the pain just from watching them. It was horrible, somewhat disgusting, and extremely scary.
  156. He didn't like undeads, and he liked even less undead animals.
  157. To see being of nature being bent and corrupted in such a way was something that was against the very nature of the world.
  158. His instincts were screaming at him. Those, weren't things that he could ignore.
  159.  
  160. With this realization Li unsheathed his sword, it wasn't simply "helping" anymore, it was survival.
  161. (Li)
  162. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  163.  
  164. [18:34] It is horrible.
  165.  
  166. The village was repeating itself. For a third time. But the one before this brought her hope. They held off a branch of the horde, protecting the people locked within shoddy wooden walls from an Army of incomprehensible size and scale. Traps, exploding arrows and numerous other factors ensured that.
  167.  
  168. But it was nothing like this.
  169.  
  170. This wasn't just a splinter of the horde. It was near the entire thing.
  171.  
  172. Shai stands with her blade firmly, recalling memories of past that gave her hope. There were so many people here she cared about, even some she didn't. The stakes had never been higher. Gehenna was not her home, but much of what made a home was here now. Putting their own lives on the line for the greater good.
  173.  
  174. She'd do the same. Across her form the Earth coils and her muscles bulge. She holds the blade tighter now - Gripping it with excess strength as she readies herself to fight off wave after wave of poor, lost souls.
  175.  
  176. Were her parents among the damned?
  177. (Shai Oshura)
  178. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  179.  
  180. [18:34] The sight of the animals caught Brina off guard. She expected iron-clad humans just like the time before, but that is not at all what the fog give way to. She blinked a few times, her brows furrowing at the sight of the deranged, injured animals.
  181.  
  182. Their eyes spoke for themselves. They were in agony and only death could spare them from the pain they felt. It was sad. Carnivore or not, she didn't like to see them in the state they were in. Prey did not deserve to suffer.
  183.  
  184. "How horrible…" She uttered beneath her breath as her hand slowly reached for the staff upon her back.
  185. (Brina)
  186. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  187.  
  188. [18:35] The air in Dreadwoods was sickening enough without the increased aura of rot from the suffering, undead horde of animals that stood before them. The young girl had never seen true terror or even carnage in her life, but as much as a part of her mind urged her to flee, she had made a promise long ago to do good.
  189.  
  190. So as a result, she poises her spear at the creatures, sweaty hands gripping the extent of her weapon of choice tightly. At least she could take solace in the fact that she was surrounded by allies.
  191.  
  192. Gulping, she casts a glance to Noel and Sera before looking to the enemy.
  193.  
  194. Now, it was time to fight.
  195. (Mikhaila Elisheva)
  196. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  197.  
  198. [18:35] Horror, The absolute horror, What occurred in craft hold was nothing compared to this. The creatures, They were undead...! The creatures were all undead! His breathing becomes ragged as this was an outrage.
  199.  
  200. The cycle was halted, Nothing new could be born here, and nothing could be destroyed. He felt something build up deep within him. He could feel the pain, He could see it.
  201.  
  202. His eyes fell upon the Plague wolf.
  203.  
  204. "...Pretender..." He mutters as he begins to run forward breaking out of the way. A howl escapes his lips as he charges into the undead ranks with crazed look plastered upon his face.
  205.  
  206. He may not have the power to create but he certainly can destroy.
  207. (Nameless)
  208. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  209.  
  210. [18:36] The disappointment on Est's face was evident; she'd not find any family here. This, in many ways, was an even worse sight for the girl who took so well to animals, who often told friends in Crafthold how much she enjoyed feeding stray animals in the park. Her abyssal eyes narrowed, her entire form flickering into mist like especially angry static on a screen. When she reformed, the smoke about her pulled inward with more urgency, swirling around her almost violently.
  211.  
  212. "I won't hesitate this time, my Lord," she said to Eiphraem keeping pace beside her. "Let's..." She took an unnatural pause, making an odd noise from behind the fog. "...Do what must be done."
  213. (Est)
  214. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  215.  
  216. [18:36] He hums, softly, from Est's side.
  217.  
  218. He doesn't draw that sleek, svelte, nonlethal weapon he had shown the Paladin- Not here.
  219.  
  220. Sera's words ring in his ears.
  221.  
  222. These weren't some faceless trudge of constructs- This was a mass of twisted beasts, marred and agonized, bound to their rotting corpses to feel every agonizing moment as rot ate through them and cysts popped within.
  223.  
  224. He shudders-
  225.  
  226. But he gently presses his head in a brief, perhaps painful, bonk against Est. Trying to keep her mind off of the same thing that Shai wondered-
  227.  
  228. And he breathes out, that cold, blackened bastard sword of tyrium helds out, away from the misty young woman.
  229.  
  230. Fool's Cold burns into his hand in a happy song, it's thorns driving into his palms in a familiar chill as it feeds from it's master.
  231. (Eiphraem Kang)
  232. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  233.  
  234. [18:36] Tototl's face promptly drops in what can only be described as wild disappointment. A fair amount of the forest has been decimated from both the wolves before him and now their allies. It's a heavy attempt to breathe in and out, pursing his lips nice and tight.
  235.  
  236. "To those that have chopped a tree, I expect two planted back in place of one. These are Gehennan lands - We respect what is provided to us by these very woods."
  237.  
  238. Glowing brown hues stare at those about him, a low huff passing the Chieftain by. Spirits, an easier fight but at what damned cost? Another breath is taken in as his mana circuitry is focused upon...
  239.  
  240. Each convergence point is forced to produce more of the virulent energy, that cyan shroud now flaring about the Gehennan. Focus was kept mainly on maintaining this expended mana about his form - To fuel his movements, his attacks. He aimed to strike quicker, dip and dive swifter. In turn that cyan shroud would coalesce and form a second skin across his own.
  241.  
  242. Readying himself for his first, mana-fueled slash he speaks one final time. "Remember - We kill the head of this pack once it's found. Spirits be with you all!" Even if a majority just killed a portion of the Dreadwoods.
  243. (Tototl)
  244. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  245.  
  246. [18:36] The suffering. The destruction. The erosion of all the Serpent worked so hard to create. Through the connection she feels that palpable wash of anger and divine outrage.
  247.  
  248. She becomes a conduit, it moves through her and washes over her. The spirit that works beside her reacts in much the same way, coiled to strike and prepared to end this atrocity, this affront.
  249.  
  250. Both Drakan and dragon fold their wings and dive into battle, sword and talons at the ready to do their righteous work.
  251.  
  252. Finally, something to sink her talons into that she can do without regret or remorse. Catharsis at last.
  253. (Ohtli Tezcacoatl)
  254. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  255.  
  256. [18:36] The young man closes his eyes and lowers his head and began to pray as soon... his steps would leave a track of withe stone... pure marble,he raise his head back before pointing its staff towards the rotting flesh smell as he shouts.
  257.  
  258. "In the name of Kraus i will cleanse your cursed souls!"
  259. (Krez)
  260. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  261.  
  262. [18:37] Denier did not see a large mass of enemies as he saw two undying wolves and a small number of undying natural beings. His need for the bombardment reduced a great deal, but he could not recall the bombarding magics as it formed into it's final stage. His hand reached up and grasped at the magics in the air as he pushes himself past his limitation, cracking open his mana circuitry with cosmic energy, a faint flickering glow of cosmic exhaust coming from his body as he tore the cosmic forged mini-stars down from the sky, launching them down at the masses of corruption that sought to cause devastation upon Agartha.
  263.  
  264. "You.. Will.. Pass.. Over!"
  265.  
  266. The season of rains had come upon the undying horde.
  267. (Denier Nevus)
  268. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  269.  
  270. [18:37] Alvi's stoic, joking nature faded as they got a full view of the torment and suffering of the undead army before them. Whereas before they couldn't seemingly keep still, now the witch was stoic and still with a small frown plastered over their features.
  271.  
  272. What struck them as odd was the inclusion of seemingly native animals in the army's numbers. That didn't seem like Arthur's modus operandi.
  273.  
  274. Was it the work of this alleged 'Lich King' that the horde was seemingly able to propagate their numbers? Alvi couldn't help but wonder if this would become a regular occurrence unless someone found where he was hiding and killed him soon.
  275. (Alvi Slade)
  276. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  277.  
  278. [18:37] It was something that would push them to their limits!
  279.  
  280. Noel remains near the front of the pack, ice blade in hand. And naturally, those golden blades of holy energy begin to form around him, albeit in a pattern different than Sera's beside him.
  281.  
  282. "Then let's free them. Because if we don't, our home is next."
  283.  
  284. The same could be said for just about anyone present. Each of the blades loosely targets one of the approaching undead, and he prepares for their greatest defensive yet.
  285.  
  286. .. After trying and straining himself to cause his wings to grow. They span out somewhat, but not for long. Maybe he wasn't ready after all.
  287.  
  288. "If only we all could work together like this to overcome the Lich and his home directly.."
  289. (Noel Elisheva)
  290. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  291.  
  292. [18:37] The group would travel into the Dreadwoods where they would gaze upon the monstrous beings, it was clear that this battle was going to be much harder than the last time that they defended this great nation as there seemed to be a massive hoard of animals.
  293.  
  294. Peering upon the broken beasts they were going to ensure that these creatures were put back into the ground where they belonged, the hatred which festered for the undead was not as present as it had been years ago. No, there was less emotion for this battle.
  295.  
  296. Turning to Fouka she would repeat what he said with a slightly different verse, but it had the same general idea.
  297.  
  298. "In the name of the spirits. In the blessings of the spirit Lord Ryujin. I shed my blood today to bind myself to one who binds their spirit with me as well."
  299.  
  300. Looking into his eyes she would continue.
  301.  
  302. "Fouka Luxata, I bind my blood and spirit with yours. Our gift to the spirits will be the blood of our enemies. I will never leave your side and treasure each and every moment together."
  303.  
  304. A smile grew on her lips.
  305.  
  306. "I will fight by your side, be with you. Until we might meet again in the next life."
  307. (Adira Luxata)
  308. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  309.  
  310. [18:37] With Nakiri at his side, Sun looked towards the heavens above, eyes gathering and watching the slowly ever moving sky. Stars twinkled, and a smirk covered his face upon seeing a certain one of them twinkling far above. It was time, time for Sun to prove himself to the star, to show what he could do alongside his best friend.
  311.  
  312. Staff in hand, slowly floating higher into the air, they noticed the two giant beasts coming forward. With mild horror he readied himself, praying to the stars above that may they be in his favor, and alongside him, Nakiris favor.
  313.  
  314. "Come Naki, we'll help purify these undead, as we've trained for such things like this! Fight!"
  315. (Sun Heifang)
  316. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  317.  
  318. [18:37] Nakiri arrivied with the others to the Dreadwoods, she arrived to see what appeared to be... Rather oversized, grotesque-looking animals surrounded by death itself. From what she knew about the Undead, they were just ordinary beings brought back to life by others. The concept wasn't understood, but in her mind - that was a violation to the Lifestream.
  319.  
  320. "They'll be returned. All of them..." She states rather confidently. Hidden remorse was felt for the undead likely being controlled in a similar manner to the one encountered earlier.
  321. (Nakiri Reiha)
  322. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  323.  
  324. [18:37] Animals in misery, Nasu felt sadness looking at the creatures that were suffering.. undead animals with thorns and vines through them, pure pain that Nasu felt upon looking at them.
  325.  
  326. The kitsune takes the ifrit stance, his fire twirls and curves around him, he wasn't here to kill the evil.. he was here to put these creatures out of their misery now.
  327.  
  328. "These poor animals, all suffering, kill them with mercy and remorse, they've suffered long enough.."

  330. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  331.  
  332. [18:38] She had expected corpses of men. Souls forced into servitude that needed to be slain in order to be set free. As the amassed defense force traveled through the dark dreadwoods, however, she came upon an unfamiliar sight. A gentle crease formed between flaxen brows, hidden beneath her aegis of gold and green. Her second skin, and shell-- a buffer against the world and its dangers, so that she could protect that which lay outside more effectively... but, it did not protect her from the unexpected feeling of dread. And guilt.
  333.  
  334. We should have put then down a long time ago.
  335.  
  336. Having grown numb to the sight of undead men, the animals were a whole new punch in the gut. Innocent creatures, unaware of their place, dead but forced to remain and fight and suffer and rot.
  337.  
  338. No more.
  339.  
  340. "Put them down," she muttered, at first, pointing her sword to the north. Toward the shambling line of undead beasts.
  341.  
  342. "This service is twofold. Free them, and protect your lands. It's only right."
  343.  
  344. A single flat of her faux wings, and a gravitic well shunting her in the air, and Koume had rocketed up and above the living. She shone like a beacon, and looked down amongst the gathered men and women. Those that fought with blade and fist were enshrouded in an unobtrusive, thin veneer of light. A gentle barrier to ward off glancing blows.
  345.  
  346. Dozens of walls flickered into view, all traced with those same angelic runes, shimmering and reverberating with unknown power. A union of the emotional and logical. Of the highest form of Exorcist magic, and an advanced metaphysical art.
  347.  
  348. Koume prepared for battle.
  349. (Koume Bavmor)
  350. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  351.  
  352. [18:38] The sight of nature itself corrupted is...
  353.  
  354. common. Familiar. It's something that he is very comfortable with, actually, and something which he wishes that he wasn't.
  355.  
  356. "It is very sad." Even if he cannot feel it, he can most definitely recognize it. Rationality and emotion are on different spectrums, and thankfully the latter isn't needed for the former. Something can absolutely be rationally sad.
  357.  
  358. In this terrain, zipping in and out will be difficult. His first priority is going to be staying up - staying alive and capable, for certain.
  359.  
  360. "I hope that all of you survive this battle. That you will witness my actions alongside other undead and know that we were here and prepared to assist in righting this wrong.
  361.  
  362. That the undead have every reason to take offense at an obvious evil."
  363.  
  364. Aimed at his 'comrades' prior to the clash.
  365. (Perseus Kang)
  366. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  367.  
  368. [18:38] Stepping into the woods with the others, the small clings tightly to her staff as they move. Stepping carefully over the terrain, fighting off the growing dread forming in her stomach, that tiny girl stops dead in her tracks as the enemy shows itself. This was not people, it was animals.
  369.  
  370. "No.." Feeling tears burn her eyes, a hand lifts to wipe away the would-be-escaped water droplets. "...How can someone do this? They're animals, they're innocent and, and..!" This was wrong, it was so painfully wrong.
  371.  
  372. "What kind of monster enslaves bunnies?!" It was graphic, horrific, it was the kind of thing that might give a young and impressionable child trauma. After this? After this, Terra was never going to have a sound night's sleep again.
  373.  
  374. Beginning to tremble some, hands tighten around the wooden staff. The girl had to have courage, she had to put a stop to this and help as MANY of these animals as possible! Right the wrong, save their souls and put to rest those that were tormented.
  375. (Terracotta)
  376. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  377.  
  378. [18:38] Sugarboy marched closely to Ohtli and Tototl, staff at the ready as he kept his eyes peeled for the chaotic formation of the damned. None would be found as they sent resurrected beasts to fight them, massive wolves.
  379.  
  380. It was such a shame, they were probably such beautiful creatures in life, to have seen them in their most natural habitat surely would've been a treat.
  381.  
  382. "Man, is it bad I feel worse having to put animals back down?" He'd ask idly, speaking whatever was on his mind. But it was the only thing that was right, to let their bodies nurture the soil.
  383.  
  384. Blood would churn around him, boiling with his desire to protect his lands and people, as well as the friends who had come to fight by his side.
  385. (Sugarboy)
  386. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  387.  
  388. [18:38] Just as he had said, Leon made no effort to stick with the group. He nodded once to Tototl before they made their way to the woods, and once inside, he stuck to the shadows, clinging from tree to tree instead of charging out into the battlefield against a horde of undead animals. There was a leader here, somewhere, someone pulling the strings who had killed all of these natural creatures and turned them into monsters.
  389.  
  390. While the rest of Gehenna's force fought the initial fight, he was certain his halberd would first find the blood of the person responsible.
  391. (Leon)
  392. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  393.  
  394. [18:38] Eiphraem Kang says, "No, that is normal. Do not worry."
  395. [18:38] The grizzled mercenaries jaw tightened as he looked upon the sight before them, a sigh escaped his lips though now that he thought about it this did make sense. The previous wave of undead had failed, the shambling corpses of the many fallen...it seemed this undead commander would try a new tactic.
  396.  
  397. Animals, a multitude of dead and decaying wildlife of all different kinds. At the forefront however were two large wolves, seeping blood and chaos. They looked ready to kill, a cornered animal...those were always the deadliest.
  398.  
  399. Renegin focused himself, looking to Iza and then Denier. Slowly his focus went around to the many that fought with him. They would not all fall this day, surely that would be impossible. No thise undead wave would be repelled like the last, and if he had to put himself on that line for this jungle he would.
  400.  
  401. The dreadwoods made him feel un-easy....and the monsters before them frightened him. Such fears however were overcome by his immense resolve and willingless to defend others. His lady was not here today, but he would fight as if she was.
  402.  
  403. He looked in-wards, into himself. None of these people would die to today, he would not allow it....and as such his passion burst forth. Emotions, and years of dedication came raging forth and his aura exploded into that of intense power and energy. He zipped forwards into the fray without a word, his sword slashing at any who threaten the innocence of the jungle and its inhabitants.
  404. (Renegin Billard)
  405. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  406.  
  407. [18:38] " Brother, Xitzi… We shall overcome. This is but the first. Don't fall. "
  408.  
  409. Karok was ready. His mind only desiring the beasts destruction. The mere pressure and power their exerted was by far the greatest that Karok has ever faced. Even the Karok demon seemed small in the face of the horde and it was for that very reason why he had to fight.
  410.  
  411. With his blade pointed forward, he would ready himself to slay the beasts that would become the stepping stones to his dreams. Their heads will be great tribute to the ones that have fallen before. " Father, watch over us. " he mutters under his breath and creates the link to bring forth the spirit of a fallen tribesman to his side.
  412.  
  413. (Karok Qumara)

  415.  
  416. [18:39] Fouka Luxata says, "Adira dont get to close"
  417. [18:40] "Tsk..."
  418.  
  419. Upon arriving to the area of mass destruction, there was not the normal undead soldiers as expected. Instead he stares at resurrected animals - abominations. Each stands with at least a singular wound mark on them, and some with vines that prod at the painful sensitivity. A pitiable sight for some. He clenches his teeth looking forward.
  420.  
  421. A burning hatred laid dormant inside of him, but not exactly for these creatures whose prolonged undead existence seemed to pain them. His is for the undead soldiers and those who stand behind them, but they are creatures which threaten his home. Him and his people. Xitzi clenches his teeth, glaring at them with a mixture of earlier mentioned pity and hatred. Unsure.
  422.  
  423. His magics still linger around him, not growing any weaker. He looks to Karok, his glare still there, and nods. "These creatures... a pain and in pain. Killing them will be forthe best." And then he takes a step forward, lining up with the others nearby.
  424.  
  425. A fight will soon break out.
  426. (Xitzi Qumara)

  428.  
  429. [18:40] Varick the Wayfarer says, "grit your teeth shai, And keep your feet nimble. We'll send these bastards back to the grave. "
  430. [18:40] Ashera would take a look at the darkened forest. It hand seemed that there was no undead soldiers. Not one single undead human to be seen. However. Ashera would keep her blade close to her. As she would slowly venture in the dreadwoods as vigilant as ever.
  431.  
  432. Ashera would see that there were many slaughtered animals that were in the trail of two large undead animals... She have never seen them ever before.. And it was quite unsettling for her to see that these creatures were used like this...
  433.  
  434. Ashera would see that thorns were trailing deep in both of the wolves wounds... She would look in to their eyes.. The never wanted this.. They were forced into this unsettling corruption... This did not sit well with Ashera.
  435.  
  436. The krausite iron paladin would grip her blade in disgust for the man. How could someone do this... No...How DARE they do this to creatures like this... The krausite had known... This Necromancer thought of the lives around him as a ploy. These lives? were nothing more than mere pawns in his eyes...
  437.  
  438. "Lets put overcome this... And put them to rest.."
  439.  
  440. Ashera would say... She was not happy with this.. But she would do everything in her part to stop their suffering. And put this perpetrator behind this to justice.
  441. (Ashera Ixis)

  443.  
  444. [18:40] Terracotta exclaims, "They're not bastards! They're innocent animals!"
  445. [18:40] Varick the Wayfarer says, "Not anymore they're not."
  446. [18:41] Terracotta says, "Ngh.."
  447. [18:41] Ashera Ixis says, "Lets put them to rest."
  448. [18:41] The Lopochtli-blessed will cut down everything and anything that could get in the way of her work.
  449.  
  450. In one hand, a serrated, obsidian-toothed sword is held. A slender, elegant macuahuitl, made of twining vines around dark, glittering volcanic glass. In the other a wooden staff that ebbs the stability of a mountain.
  451.  
  452. Her sword-wielding hand drips errant droplets of animus-laced blood, blood that gives life and limb to nature, creating baleful, dangerous folige. Scurring, wide-eyed mandrakes, wicked, long-thorned vines, and saccharine, blooming flowers.
  453.  
  454. As always, the dutiful Dryad is stoic, staring at the interloping monsters with wide, inhuman eyes. Readied.
  455. (Yolihuani)
  456. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  457.  
  458. [18:41] Varick the Wayfarer says, "They'll likly target the non magi and drag them into the deep just like last time..."
  459. [18:41] Ashera Ixis says, "That will not happen on my watch."
  460. [18:41] Varick the Wayfarer says, "I'll save as many of our folk as I can. "
  461. [18:41] Terracotta says, "They don't want to though...This isn't their fault.."

  465. [18:42] Shai Oshura says, "I'll destroy as many of those abominations as I can... Necromancy is a curse..."

  467. [18:42] Amalka exclaims, "I know, I know... I promise I will be nice!"
  468. [18:42] Esso Naam whispers something.
  469. [18:42] Krez says, "Lets cleanse those lands of rotten flesh..."

  471. [18:43] Mikiko Heifang says, "They smell."

  484. [18:43] Noel Elisheva asks, "Are you sure it is safe to use that much of your power, Jesse?"
  485. [18:44] Jesse Hawke says, "I'm in full control."
  486. [18:44] Shai Oshura says, "What... is that..."
  487. [18:44] Shai Oshura says, "He's glowing like- Weirdly."

  501. (Ashera Ixis)
  502. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  503.  
  504. [18:51] {NARRATION} This was a very different force than what had come to raid Gehenna the first time. Without humanoid forms or weapons, the living were forced against beasts that lacked sympathy or any sense of animalistic attachment to nature. They were just as much monsters as they were machines of destruction, sent to burn and corrupt the land with their filth.
  505.  
  506. Trees were sent flying across the air while more and more plantlife within the Dreadwoods died and fell apart in the beasts' wake.
  507.  
  508. The two giant wolves were finally downed by Li and Alvi and were finally released by their nightmare.
  509.  
  510. However, someone from the original defense was missing. And the air in the woods was still as putrid as ever.
  511. [18:53] Madness, He cuts down multiple woodland creatures as he rushes past them to reach his target. He bites into a rabbit and twists tearing the creature into two before he spits out the remains.
  512.  
  513. He remembers not to consume any flesh this battle despite his instincts telling him to do so.
  514.  
  515. He reaches the carnage wolf and leaps onto it's back. His blade stabs between his shoulder blades and begins to slowly carve the creature as it ran about throwing fire and flame about. Eventually the creature would buck him off and send him directly into a tree.....Later the creature would be defeated by another and he would slowly rised from his down state panting.
  516.  
  517. "The air is still filled with death...." He mutters. His weapon was brandished once more.
  518. (Nameless)
  519. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  520.  
  521. [18:55] Death. The blood that was shed during the battle was good. It was real good. But it was not enough. The man wanted more than just a win. He wanted the spirits to be pleased. Slashing the wolves he would then look down at them as they were killed by others.
  522.  
  523. "This not enough to please the spirits."
  524.  
  525. He wanted to see even more than this. The man felt as though this was more needed to this path.
  526. (Fouka Luxata)
  527. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  528.  
  529. [18:56] Fighting wolves was a wholly different experience from fighting anything humanoid. Dashing in and out of the battlefield - striking their great furred bodies with her flaming arm; Cheska did what she could to inflict harm upon the beasts. But she wasn't in the least bit used to fighting so utterly inhuman.
  530.  
  531. Not yet beaten, however, she stepped back to the group of combatants - shaking the blood and fur from her burning hand. It smelled awful.
  532. (Cheska Railen)
  533. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  534.  
  535. [18:56] From all around such a conflict was nothing short of overwhelming to the senses. Winds continually slamming back against all unknown creatures that rose from these forests in such attempts to combat these warriors. Blades of shimmering gold continually seen flying through the air, slamming against the bodies of these wolves as they worked struggled to fight back.
  536.  
  537. Eventually, knocked down without any hope or drive to continually combat such overwhelming odds.
  538.  
  539. "... Rest now." He spoke in a gentle murmur as the beasts had finally fallen, golden blades impaled within such vanishing as they would finally be put to rest. Tension never ceasing to fade as a glance was shot to the areas around, dread and rot still present in such lands that had beckoned this call of battle.
  540.  
  541. No rest, no ease would come to follow.
  542.  
  543. Pale blue eyes simply scanning, surveying these lands for something more.
  544. (Sera Elisheva)
  545. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  546.  
  547. [18:56] Happy by besting the first wave of enemy the young paladin will become more confident about the victory as this fact could be seen in its glowing magma shell and perhabs the marble dust who would keep encircleing his feets.
  548.  
  549. "We can't lose under the Kraus blessing!"
  550.  
  551. Krez shouts excited as a giggle could be heard from him.
  552. (Krez)
  553. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  554.  
  555. [18:56] Jesse finally catches up to the group in the nick of time. With a hundred percent of a hundred percent his power, with absolute control - Jesse lights himself up. His aura blazes outwards as he feels his entire body jolt with newfound energy and potential. Facing the undead was a breeze when he had the power of the Stars on his side.
  556.  
  557. Furiously dancing between undead foes with his blade, he pierces the wolf time and time again as the ensemble of heroes dash in and out of combat around him. Despite the best efforts him and the incredible magi around could muster, the battle didn't end as swiftly as they imagined.
  558.  
  559. "No matter how many times it comes back up, I'll have energy to put it down."
  560. (Jesse Hawke)
  561. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  562.  
  563. [18:56] Massive crowds of beasts where were Wallis's fighting style shined. He dodged around, fleeing from every strike he could see, running into at least a dozen he couldn't in his recklessness.
  564.  
  565. Explosives - packed, condensed Occult and Fire - were lobbed by the handful into the packs of undead animals. Not even the number of hits he took could erase the sheer smile on his face, not now.
  566.  
  567. He was ecstatic.
  568. (Wallis)
  569. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  570.  
  571. [18:56] Sinael was frightened, he played a miniscule part in this defense. The boy tried his best to mimic the courage his friends entered the battle field with, however there was little he could do to make up for his lack of power.
  572.  
  573. The boy tried his best to keep up with them, hoping they would guide him, their blades leading his in this battle.
  574.  
  575. Unsurprisingly, Sinael only targeted the bunny and the boar. The wolves were a bit too malicious for him to handle. The depraved and undead animals about the dreads woods were pushed back, courtesy of those dealing the finishing blows.
  576.  
  577. The boy took a step back, sweating a bit, but not too much. He'd looked around, and wiped the blood from his blade.
  578.  
  579. "A-are we done...?" He asked.
  580. (Sinael Anauel)
  581. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  582.  
  583. [18:56] Shizuko sticks to the backline, smiting and holy water smiting various creatures as they approach. When not assailed, she heals her allies with holy magic and holy water magic. Any lunging animals are met with a beam of water magic, pushing them backwards.
  584.  
  585. Once the beasts are fallen by the combined effort, she looks around at the scarred woods. She backs up towards Eiphraem, scanning for any threats to their wellbeing. She becomes increasingly nervous at the lack of the putrid stench dissipating.
  586. (Shizuko Megumi)
  587. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  588.  
  589. [18:56] Forward she ventures, her blade held swiftly by her side. Shai dashes towards the horde, cutting their heads off from their shoulders and freeing as many burdens on the lifestream as she could. Where too many would walk, too many to swing in such tight surroundings, she would collide her blade against the Earth, rupturing it in shock.
  590.  
  591. Undead would fall over, disturbed. She would then slash into as many as she could, a war-cry expelling from her throat.
  592.  
  593. But those wolves. The undead animals that prowled - They were like nothing she had faced. Weapons by some unseen force, mutated and enhanced by some malicious magic. It reminded her of that armoured undead in the village not so long ago. How it rammed into the gates and destroyed them with such ease.
  594.  
  595. How does a corpse become that?
  596.  
  597. She's forced to keep her distance as the all-out fight begins. Unable to get more than a few slashes in before pulling backwards. The others handle it well enough. But she felt so incredibly useless against that kind of power. Her body hadn't come far enough yet.
  598.  
  599. "Where is the hordes leader..." Her gaze flickers across, hunting for her target.
  600. (Shai Oshura)
  601. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  602.  
  603. [18:56] Wallis says, "...Wait a second. Where's -"
  604. [18:57] Though the forest was soon paved with destruction, it was nothing like last time-- at least for Brina. She was just as careful, but when she saw an opening? She was brave enough to get closer and brave enough to take whatever magic might've sailed her way, even if it did sting.
  605.  
  606. It wasn't like last time, though. She survived. The fact she got so close to danger and lived to tell the tale lit an exciting flame inside her heart even if now certainly wasn't the time. She was stronger! More resilient! And with their seemingly successful endeavor having toppled the beasts and ended their suffering? She allowed that excitement to blossom even further.
  607.  
  608. That putridness couldn't be ignored, though. It grew heavy in the air and that ear-to-ear smile faded as swiftly as it appeared. "... I have a bad, bad feeling." She muttered. For whatever reason, it felt as if a thousand eyes were watching her from every direction.
  609. (Brina)
  610. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  611.  
  612. [18:57] Tototl's blade streaks across the beasts as he dips about the crimson wolf. Far from natural, disturbed in its peace, it deserved to be put back to rest. To most the Chieftain was easy to track as the battle went on - A cyan streak through the ranks of creatures and their own alike. Such was the blessing of mana for increased agility and strength.
  613.  
  614. Spirits did it hurt though.
  615.  
  616. Spectral hands toss the blade about the snow-haired Gehennan as the undead wildlife are carved through. Gradually, that cyan shroud continues to draw deeper into his skin. Inch by inch, cut by cut as the spirits of the disturbed creatures are laid back to rest. The Cruxati Chieftain is breathing heavily now as brown hues scan the area, peering about for the one man they needed.
  617.  
  618. Leon
  619.  
  620. "Anyone seen that young one?- Think ah... His name was Leon? Spirits please tell me they didn't get him." A string of mutters pass the Spirit Walker by. The cyan blade is held at the ready, his head on a swivel.
  621.  
  622. "Prepare yourselves for the worst - I believe we've a larger horde incoming."
  623. (Tototl)
  624. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  625.  
  626. [18:57] The fight was getting more intense as time passed. The way those undead fought was like enraged beasts that had no care for their well being. Li couldn't even be grateful for the lack of martial skills, they were just too savage.
  627. As the young blacksmith fought harder and harder he managed to get near one of the most intimidating beasts. A giant black wolf, his body was riddled by injuries, but his gaze didn't give any feeling of weakness.
  628. Their eyes met, Li couldn't help but shudder for a moment, before gripping his sword harder than before.
  629. It wasn't time to be scared now, it wasn't time to be a coward… it was time to fight.
  630. With that thought in mind the man dashed toward the beast without any sign of hesitation.
  631. The man always thought he was a coward, but it was in those times when he couldn't think about it, that he shone with bravery.
  632. Li would fight together with man and woman he never met, the wolf was getting cornered. It wasin that moment that the blacksmith noticed an opportunity. With all the strength and energy he could muster he stabbed his sword toward the undead.
  633. Seconds would pass as his blade was embedded inside the wold flesh and then… silence. The beast was finally dead.
  634. (Li)
  635. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  636.  
  637. [18:58] It would be impossible to account for everyone that was fighting, right? Instead, Noel looks around to make sure both of his younger siblings were still alright.
  638.  
  639. Sera? Check.
  640. Mik'? Check.
  641.  
  642. He moves forward towards those that needed to be put back into an eternal slumber, hands gripping his blade through the mixture of water and holy magic.
  643.  
  644. "Let's keep going, alright? I'm just now starting to feel something!"
  645.  
  646. Was he.. having fun?
  647. (Noel Elisheva)
  648. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  649.  
  650. [18:58] Karok rushed forward but as he did, trying to slay the beasts. The small creatures that where under their control was greatly overwhelming amongst the chaos that was their ' allied front '. Karok would find himself being pushed back the beast, forced back by a powerful blast of shadowflame.
  651.  
  652. He groaned in pain as he slowly got back up on his feet, everything seemed to be far too simple, the fight ending way to fast in his opinion. Karok would look around, a firm grip on his weapon.
  653.  
  654. " Xitzi, lotus... keep sharp. This isn't over yet. "
  655. (Karok Qumara)
  656. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  657.  
  658. [18:58] The onslaught becomes little more than a continuous process. In a situation so chaotic as this, there can only be action and rhythm. Silent save for the sound of sending arcs of sharp light through the air.
  659.  
  660. All others are fine. Some taking wounds, but they are fine.
  661.  
  662. He focuses on the battle itself.
  663. (Perseus Kang)
  664. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  665.  
  666. [18:59] The fight was on in an instant.
  667.  
  668. The gale of winds around Mikhaila turn deadly as she guides them to her targets, the crowd of undead that sought to add them to their numbers. As winds sawed through and brutalized the monstrosities, the mana circuits running through Mikhaila's form glowed a golden color for but a brief few moments to gain an edge, strengthening her holy magic tenfold.
  669.  
  670. Soon after? It's done, but Mikhaila is left a bit more tired than usual. It wouldn't deter her, though, not yet.
  671.  
  672. "Yeah, yeah, of course...! I'm still with you, Noel, Sera."
  673. (Mikhaila Elisheva)
  674. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  675.  
  676. [18:59] The battle raged on with insanity as these monstrous creatures would lay siege into he warriors which stood against them, the bombardment of magic and blades seemed to be unleashed upon the forest as everything started to quake and rumble.
  677.  
  678. This group fought back with all their might and it would appear that they had claimed victory over these beasts which were before them as the two giant wolves would be killed by a few of the soldiers.
  679.  
  680. A feeling of dread seemed to be within the air as she would look around, this was not over yet. There was no chance that it would be that simple, thinking back to the first battle within this forest it had yet to bring about the true evil which was going to require shattering.
  681.  
  682. "The spirits will be pleased when we are done Fouka, those creatures will not hold up against this group."
  683.  
  684. There were so many people speaking, it was all she was able to do to shut out the noise and relax herself. Taking a deep breath the woman focused on whatever was coming next.
  685. (Adira Luxata)
  686. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  687.  
  688. [18:59] Denier performed his task, bombarding the majority of the undead creatures with massive star falls and breaking through his mana circuitry with cosmic energy in a sudden golden flash of light, beautiful and terrifying sprays of color and light in a major Supernova, the massive exertion of force followed immediately by a great collapsing black hole around his being as he then awaited for those stronger than he to take care of the greater beasts.
  689.  
  690. When all was said and done, he came out of his dangerous shell and looked around. He could feel it.. somewhere something was going to come. He felt.. It must have been the enetity that was of the corpse worm..
  691.  
  692. Will the entity show itself again?..Or are you going to hide from your consequences, Ghoul king?"
  693. (Denier Nevus)
  694. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  695.  
  696. [18:59] The Drakan brazenly swoops to the front as the undead surge forward. Man, beast, no matter their form she is compelled to cut them down and lay them low...Which is why, normally, she doesn't indulge in the artifacts desires. However here it is a boon.
  697.  
  698. So long as something is corrupting, rooting, and laying waste with unnatural touch to the ground? She continues to swing. Pushes of force, swings of her sword keep foul beasts and vile things at bay.
  699.  
  700. In spite of her compulsion, she remains close to Tototl and Sugarboy to see that they remain more-or-less unharmed.
  701.  
  702. Each undead thing that falls gives her a wash of satisfaction and exultation. And the battle is not even over yet.
  703. (Ohtli Tezcacoatl)
  704. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  705.  
  706. [18:59] Varick would hold the line, slaying all manner of undead beasts. At one point the soldier would grab a large undead wolf and slam it into the ground with a deafening CRACK. Moving around the battlefield, the man would be be aiming to protect as many non magi as he possibly could, slaying any beasts that dared to drag the injured living into the dark depths of the dreadwood.
  707.  
  708. The man would be dragging back an injured tribesman back to allied lines before spotting another injured non magi out in the middle of the battlefield,
  709.  
  710. "HANG ON MATE!"
  711.  
  712. The soldier would burst through the chaos of clashing steel and gnashing teeth, stopping dead in his tracks as the one of the massive beasts came crashing through the trees.
  713.  
  714. "Damn, you're a big bugger..."
  715.  
  716. The soldier would take the injured tribesman and throw him withenhanced strength out of the way, The wayfarer would end up taking the brunt of the blow as the force of the hit sent the man crashing through the trees.
  717.  
  718. Varick would be amidst the broken logs, with blood and likely broken bones, he didn't look too good.
  719.  
  720. (Varick the Wayfarer )
  721. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  722.  
  723. [19:00] Here, in these tainted woods, Alvi could almost say they felt alive.
  724.  
  725. The natural Occultic energies permeating the forest served to give them confidence, and even empower them as they threw themselves into battle. They focused what seemed to be the weaker of the wolves, wanting an opponent that would have gone down relatively quick when faced with the full brunt of their flames, which were only exacerbated by the strong gusts of wind magic whistling its way between the trees and fanning the flames.
  726.  
  727. In hindsight, there maaay be a lot of collateral damage.
  728.  
  729. Combined with the repeated attacks by their comrades - as temporary as some of them may be - a gout of flames from the palm of the witch's hands brought down the oversized wolf and charring its rotting corpse to a steaming, stinking crisp.
  730.  
  731. "...Oh wow, I actually got one."
  732. (Alvi Slade)
  733. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  734.  
  735. [19:00] Multiple abrasions covered his armour, small singes tugging at the ends of his jacket as they watched they battled against the flaming beast. Alongside Nakiri they unleashed their various attacks.
  736.  
  737. Beasts came at them, movements made to quickly kill the weaker ones while effort was taken to kill the stronger ones. In the end, while pushing forth, cosmic energies coalescing all across their figner tips they stopped. Soon he was standing there, everything around them defeated, eyes checking on Nakiri, they heard less then they expected.
  738.  
  739. Where was the undead army? The soldiers that made up of it, why did they only face off against beasts of burden?
  740.  
  741. Soon he found himself next to their friend, placing their body right next to her, "Naki, be ready, this definitely wasn't all of them."
  742. (Sun Heifang)
  743. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  744.  
  745. [19:01] Unyielding like the earth, the overgrown, moss-cloaked Dryad fights at a distance, her legion of baleful plant-creatures seeking to lash with thorns, pelt with rocks, or infect with spores that dig and take root in flesh.
  746.  
  747. Rhythmic taps of her stave to the ground has a bassy rumble move through it - a rumble no doubt unnoticed by many as the fight with the monstrous wolves.
  748.  
  749. A rumble of conspiratorial sympathy, the land itself, Occult-tainted as it is, working to consume and bury the monsters that have come to attack them upon it. To return them to the soil, to crush them to pieces and let them break down and rot.
  750.  
  751. After others deal the decisive blow, the vigilant, wide-eyed creature pauses, her inhuman gaze scanning about for the source of the continued putrid scent. Likely another monster that needs to be returned to the soil, the autumn Dryad's guard still up, her lanky, long-limbed body tensed and readied for further carnage.
  752. (Yolihuani)
  753. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  754.  
  755. [19:01] Renegin's bright energetic aura charged his hits up with enough energy to punch blunt force holes into the undead, let alone hitting with the actual sharp part of his blade. When he did that is was almost easier then a heated knife on butter. It slid right through.
  756.  
  757. Many many cleaved animals lay in his wake as he backed up all of his allies in the fight, but he was never one to settle for killing the underlings. As much as he wouldn't admit seeking glory in battle he had always fantasized over it. It would only make sense to find him in the fray with the more powerful fighters, contending with the two wolf pack leaders.
  758.  
  759. The first wolf, as fearsome as it may have been was felled quickly enough. The combined force from his ridiculously devastating blows, combined with the many other magi cause it to fall to the ground whimpering and then quickly cease even that. The other one was more difficult.
  760.  
  761. It remained up for far longer, and when Renegin joined the fight along with the others it also fell, but this caused the veteran to lose focus. The wolf was in the midst of falling and he let his guard down, and large claw coming to scratch deeply into him and knock him back to the ground. He held his chest and cringed...was this not to be the end?
  762.  
  763. No, someone was missing...shit. He couldn't stop now, despite his injuries he had to persist. He pushed himself up and grit his teeth, his muscles flexing under the strain of his movements. His bright aura grew even more so, his last ounce of willpower put into his mana circuits just so he could stay up and defend all of these people gathered....it was time to kill these fucking undead bastards.
  764. (Renegin Billard)
  765. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  766.  
  767. [19:01] Nasu did his best in the fight, the animalistic creatures of undeath were very hard to read, unlike other magi and soldier these were animals in a sense.. deathly animals.
  768.  
  769. Along with the attacks of many others his fire magic dances around the field to strike at many of the critters, hopefully ending their lives swiftly and in one go, the wolves took on much more however, Nasu lunaches himself forward to cut his blade along them whilst flying through the air, he lands on the ground and almost falls over.
  770.  
  771. He's caught by one of them and goes to the ground, dropping his sword and wincing in pain but quickly blasting fire magic under his feet to launch him back up on his feet before he was mauled.
  772.  
  773. His breath goes heavy before he could be mauled by any creatures, he clenches his sword and looks back, seeing they were taken down.
  774.  
  775. "That hurt.." He huffs out, "Hurt a lot.." He doesn't let his guard down however, the kitsune notices the deathly presence still around, something was off but he couldn't tell.
  776. (Nasu Ixis Kimyona)
  777. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  778.  
  779. [19:01] There was a beauty, amongst the madness.
  780.  
  781. A glowing figure of golden exorcist magic and glittering green, crosshatched, woven runes hovered above the clashing forces. The Regent's eyes fluttered to a close, breathing in the putrid stench of death and decay, and exhaling a cleaner, purified breath of air. Her eyes shot open, glowing a brilliant gold that shone through her shell. The undead masses and twin wolves that lead them, charged. Charged with wild abandon and no regard for their own safety. Animals fought their fiercest when backed into a corner, and as they were trapped inside their bodies and forced to gnash and claw and fight, they were always cornered.
  782.  
  783. Koume did not have a direct hand in the fight. Instead, she acted in unison with the force below her-- observing their movements, as well as the enemy's, and providing precise assistance to turn the tide.
  784.  
  785. Twice, she was able to negate the worst of the darker wolf's fiery attacks, by forming barriers just high enough for it not to leap over in a single bound, traced with those emerald runes. Flames poured out from its maw, dark and searing, but upon contact with the barriers, a majority of those black flames seemed to disappear.
  786.  
  787. High above, from those long, golden wings, steams of occultic flame spouted from portals created at their centers. Taken in and channeled, and spat out. where they could do no harm.
  788.  
  789. Shunts of gravity slammed into the enemy, as did beams of holy light, but Koume left the good majority of the offense to the rest of the group.
  790. (Koume Bavmor)
  791. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  792.  
  793. [19:01] The rabid animals are slaughtered.
  794.  
  795. Occult and wind are fiercely destructive around the boy. Approaching the enemies his magics would be used indiscriminately. The smallest animals and even the largest would be cut and eaten away by his magics. With his attacking does the putrid air grow slightly thicker.
  796.  
  797. After quite some time does the fighting die down. He stands aside from the others, panting and his eyes wildly scanning around. Despite killing many of the undead he's still cautious. He's also worried, his expression showing it after his first glance around. He looks for his brother.
  798.  
  799. He eventually finds him. He runs over, unsure of the extent of his injuries as he comes from the distance but they're alive. "Karok!" Xitzi calls out as he approaches, his eyes beginning to wander as he does to all the rapidly decaying bodies. A look of disgust there.
  800.  
  801. The scene is grotesque, as expected. But he's glad it seems over.
  802. (Xitzi Qumara)
  803. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  804.  
  805. [19:01] Ashera would continue to charge towards the enemy. She would be forced to fight against innocent lives who were stripped of their sympathy. Their freedom, and their animal attachment as well. Ashera's blade would hit the EC's as she would cut deep into the undead.
  806.  
  807. Tears would form as she did this. Even though she could not hear them speak or understand their language. She knew that the wolves had slaughtered the other animals, as well as attacked the others against their will.
  808.  
  809. Ashera would slowly look towards the wolves, as they were slowly being released from their shackles before her. Every attack from the other magi would help free them from their inner darkness...
  810.  
  811. Ashera would see the two deal the final blow She would sigh. As she would slowly wipe her tears from her face...She knew that this was the only way that this could be even done. She never stopped when it came to fulfilling her duty. She would flick her blade of blood, and look at the released corpses..
  812.  
  813. "Rest well both of you.. Know one will trouble you again.."
  814.  
  815. Ashera would say, still smelling the putrid depravity in the air, she would ready herself.
  816. (Ashera Ixis)
  817. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  818.  
  819. [19:01] The stench of death, the ferocity of the animals and the twisting of the woods all around her. It was a lot to take in, this was too much for someone so naïve and stupidly young. With eyes wide as saucers, she can only watch in horror as the wretched creatures rush forwards after them.
  820.  
  821. "S-Spirits protect me.." Raising her staff, wind billowed and blew around her uncontrollably. It was the smaller creatures that came after her. Birds, bunnies and small rodents. They were easy enough to push away, to run from and avoid. But they were not her true fear.
  822.  
  823. It was the large bear that snarled, it's lower jaw missing. Through it's hide, multiple arrows and spears were stuck. Blast after blast of wind and twirling vortex, the clawed animal did not deter or falter. It charged, slamming the young girl into a tree with the weight of its corpse. Screaming out in her pain, little Terra slumps to the floor as clawed paws lift and threaten to tear the little Gehennan into ribbons.
  824.  
  825. But, it found something a little more enticing to chase. Something bigger. Settling with a nasty cut across the youth's cheek, it barrels off with a sickening bellow. Leaving the girl to clutch nervously at the staff and stare at the dying battle.
  826. (Terracotta)
  827. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  828.  
  829. [19:02] {NARRATION} Through the dark smog came a dry laugh, one that came from a face lacking a smile. Among the torn corpses of the animals that had been used as fodder, a man wearing a skull and antlers moved through the treeline, trailing wretched, dying tendrils of thorns behind him.
  830.  
  831. Coiled among his vines was a young man, one who had ventured too far from the main defence group and found himself overwhelmed by an enemy he could not have hoped to fight against alone.
  832. [19:02] Denier was cold, calculating combat, there was no beauty in this. There was only survival.
  833. (Denier Nevus)
  834. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  835.  
  836. [19:03] Nate had arrived on scene from the north west.
  837. (Nate Kreed)
  838. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  839.  
  840. [19:03] Eiphraem Kang says, "I-"
  841. [19:03] Varick would barely stand, he'd use drain touch on a nearby tree in an effort to repair some bones and wounds... This fight was far from over it appeared...
  842. (Varick the Wayfarer )
  843. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  844.  
  845. [19:03] Potayo Invidia says, "Hmm..."
  846. [19:03] Sinael Anauel says, "I've seent hat kid before.. "
  847. [19:04] Renegin Billard says, "Focus up lads, kid er not he's theirs now...lets kill this bastard"
  848. [19:05] Tototl says, "Kill the leader, nothing more nor less."
  849. [19:06] Kirsi Ó Cnáimhín whispers something.
  850. [19:07] Nate Kreed exclaims, "Ren!"
  851. [19:07] Renegin Billard says, "Hm? Nate. Focus, no time fer talking."
  852. [19:07] {NARRATION} (feel free to rp real quick, small delay.)
  853. [19:07] Nate Kreed says, "Yes sir."
  854. [19:09] "Wait," the phantasm said quietly. Even with her poor vision, she remembered Leon. Not his name, no - but she remembered his face. She remembered his contributions. "He was at the Crafthold defense too." Est inhaled sharply, turned her gaze to the creature. She nodded in agreement with Tototl, her icy tendril raising her staff in front of her.
  855.  
  856. "Alvi - no need for dignity with this one. Let's kill it."
  857.  
  858. The year between the Crafthold raid and this raid hadn't made her any better at cool battlecries. In fact, this one was even worse than the last one.
  859. (Est)
  860. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  861.  
  862. [19:09] With the two wolves out of the way, Hito was curious as to what was next-- such curiosity didn't last long however as a being could be seen approaching from the woods.
  863.  
  864. He must have been their ring leader.
  865.  
  866. Noticing the roots around Decys, Hito would surmise that perhaps that being was a Dryad-- but no, a Dryad to be working alongside undead? That was strange...regardless of who or what he was one thing was for sure, they'd be taking him down.
  867.  
  868. Bearing fangs, the Kitsune would once more ready his anchor.
  869. (Hito Cooper)
  870. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  871.  
  872. [19:10] A giggle can be heard the the young paladin as playing a bit with his glowing staff he say.
  873.  
  874. "I have a strong impresion that the laugh we heard of will run quiet soon."
  875. (Krez)
  876. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  877.  
  878. [19:10] A man walks through the forest, was this the leader? This was the individual he had to face.
  879.  
  880. A growl escaped his lips, as his gum peels back revealing his sharp fangs. "So it was you!" He accuses. He charges spinning his scythe. Wind explodes from his heels propelling him into fray! This time he wouldn't be downed.
  881. (Nameless)
  882. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  883.  
  884. [19:10] The young fighter's stumbling into the enemy's hands caught Koume's attention. Losing even one man was a detriment, and he had fought as hard as all the others. She wouldn't allow it, even if she did not know his name. Another man dead meant another soul enslaved. Another soldier. The desire to defend swelled in the Regent's chest, and she shot forward through the air, down toward Leon.
  885.  
  886. To protect him. Best she could.
  887.  
  888. When she reached him, a barrier of golden light-- an orb, encircled them both. She would take the brunt of whatever damage was about to be inflicted.
  889.  
  890. "Don't move. I've got you..."
  891. (Koume Bavmor)
  892. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  893.  
  894. [19:10] Li would extract the blade from the wold corpse. As he gazed around his surrounding he noticed that a bit of silence descended.
  895. Though it would take few seconds before a voice would interrupt it.
  896.  
  897. A man, or something similar to that announced his presence with a speech.
  898. Everyone could tell that he was the one behind all this suffering.
  899. The young blacksmith would take a second to catch his breath, before reading himself for the battle that was coming.
  900. (Li)
  901. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  902.  
  903. [19:11] Varick would cough up some blood, limping over to shai.
  904. he'd grunt as he forced his broken arm back into place and drained the life force of nearby trees to repair it.
  905.  
  906. He'd wipe the blood from his mouth, keeping his sword ready as the new threat approached from the woods.
  907.  
  908. "eyes up! we're not out of this mess yet!"
  909.  
  910. Varick would ready himself for the next wave, readying to fire more occult magics at the undead creature.
  911. (Varick the Wayfarer )
  912. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  913.  
  914. [19:11] Shizuko looks towards the boy with worry. She moves to go towards him, but hesitates. She speaks to Eiphraem with hushed words. She continues to stare towards the boy, wishing to rush to his side.
  915.  
  916.  
  917. (Shizuko Megumi)
  918. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  919.  
  920. [19:11] Shizuko Megumi whispers something.
  921. [19:11] Such a vile sensation of those seeped in their own willful destruction had forced a single moment of pause. Hands without a weapon to be clutched now balling into fists, those golden blades all around floating around Sera. Vile sensations of rot and decay pushing him forwards, this understanding that if allowed such a beast would continue to do as he had.
  922.  
  923. To force those who wished not to fight, into violence once again. The fallen wolves all the very same a single example of such, those winds still swelling around this now remaining close and tight upon this body of the youngest Demi-Angel.
  924.  
  925. Only waiting for the first blows to be exchanged once more.
  926.  
  927. Waiting for the inevitable actions of such a vile being, to lash out at those who sought to end such struggles.
  928. (Sera Elisheva)
  929. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  930.  
  931. [19:12] Their reprieve seems to have come to an end with the appearance of that strange, masked figure. She watched - brows furrowed with suspicion as they made their appearance. Rolling her right shoulder and rising back to her feet; she got ready to enter combat once more.
  932. (Cheska Railen)
  933. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  934.  
  935. [19:12] Watching as the creature would come from the dark smog with thorned tendrils following behind their corpse, it was a disgusting sight to behold yet there was a face trapped within the vines. Tototl said it was Leon? A person who certainly went too far from the main group and managed to get themselves captured.
  936.  
  937. "Killing this thing is certainly going to appease the spirits, let's see just how it might be able to handle the combined force of all of us."
  938.  
  939. Waiting for just a moment she understood that everything was about to kick off, the people around her ready to jump into battle wanting to slaughter this being.
  940.  
  941. Laughing while she prepared for the upcoming battle, it was time.
  942. (Adira Luxata)
  943. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  944.  
  945. [19:12] The figure revealed themselves.
  946.  
  947. Far across the way an entity crawled from the forest, its sinister aura becoming palpable above the smell of rotten flesh. Shai's blade hangs low, pointed into the corrupt grass as she narrows her vision towards him. A prisoner - One with a cloak of red and white. One of theirs and he was caught.
  948.  
  949. But Koume wouldn't let him be felled so easily. She dashes forward, protecting him in a radiant barrier of light. It looked so much like Sir Airgenalds own that he conjured briefly. "Be careful!" She calls out, dragging her blade along as she steps over the corpses of fallen entities to rejoin the assault.
  950.  
  951. Was this the necromancer who ruined her life?
  952. (Shai Oshura)
  953. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  954.  
  955. [19:12] Leon clawed at the grass as he was tossed aside. Moving was difficult for the young fighter, and while he thought he would manage in succeeding hin something today, he had only been faced with failure. Now broken and injured, he winced and scowled at the strange, necromantic lieutenant who he had seen twisting animals into soldiers.
  956.  
  957. As Koume came to defend him, Leon let out a ragged breath and spoke as loud as he could manage.
  958.  
  959. "Him. He's the Head of this-- smaller horde. He knows where the Ghoul King-- is..."
  960. (Leon)
  961. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  962.  
  963. [19:12] Alvi lies Leon's limp form being tossed to the side with a light frown. He didn't look like much. Why was he singled out like that? Pondering the question disturbed Alvi somewhat.
  964.  
  965. "I'm inclined to agree," they murmur to Est. "It's targeting the weak among us. Trying to make us intimidated by dramatic displays. I'm honestly the same way."
  966. (Alvi Slade)
  967. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  968.  
  969. [19:12] Confused the boy waited until the adults made their decisions on how to save the boy. The child watched as Koume went to protect the boy who'd been released from the vines. He watched as everyone else got as close as possible to the man
  970.  
  971. He discovered they would probably try and corner him from both sides. He patiently waits to see what the giant snake man would do.
  972.  
  973. "Hebi.." The boy whispered.
  974.  
  975. This overwhelming flux of magic in the area paired in with the intimidation of some of these powerful magics weighed heavily on the boy. He felt weary among this group.
  976.  
  977.  
  978. (Sinael Anauel)
  979. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  980.  
  981. [19:12] Scrambling quickly to meet back with the main group, the battered child looks to the woods ahead. Her dread had yet to disappear, the wolves were not the last challenge. There was more.
  982.  
  983. Looking ahead at the man as he dragged one of the defenders along with, eyes widen again. This was bad, this was VERY bad. He was the one who did this, right? He was the cause for all the animal's suffering!
  984.  
  985. "Twisting animals isn't okay, forcing stuff to fight for you is wrong.." Among the many, Terra's voice was soft. However, it was words to empower her own courage, not for their enemy's benefit. Gripping tightly at the staff, she takes a deep breath and readies for another fight.
  986. (Terracotta)
  987. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  988.  
  989. [19:13] There he was - Trapped within the tangles of the enemy. A nature magi gone wrong, perhaps. Tototl's teeth grit tight upon seeing the young man caught, but perhaps it was the inevitable. Even then that rage continues to bubble as his grip tightens about that whispering blade.
  990.  
  991. Despite what time he needed to recover between fights, standing between Sugarboy and Ohtli both, there's a flicker in that skin-clinging mana shroud of his, a twinge in that brown glow of his irises. It was a flare, reacting primarily to feeling rather than thought. The Chieftain makes a visible attempt to control and gauge this rage with calm thought--
  992.  
  993. Despite his body floating forth, of course.
  994.  
  995. Flourishing that cyan blade in one hand, the other conjures up a ball of mana. Solidified, no longer hazy or fogged, it's held at the ready - The menagerie of spiritual hands doing the same.
  996.  
  997. Tototl rushes forth without another word, cyan mana flaring in his wake.
  998. (Tototl)
  999. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1000.  
  1001. [19:13] Koume only nodded, before calling out to the group. "He knows! Where the Ghoul Kind is! Subdue, do not kill!"
  1002. (Koume Bavmor)
  1003. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1004.  
  1005. [19:13] Was the necromancer responsible for all of this a Dryad, or just something that resembled one...? Wallis only briefly considered it, before depositing another series of Gravity-bound bombs into his hands.
  1006.  
  1007. He mutters something to himself, before that bright smile returns to his face. He's too caught up in the sensation of things exploding around him to think of much else.
  1008.  
  1009. There's targets - or, a target, now, and a wall of everyone else. The rush of the Occult that clouded his mind prevented them from remaining distinct - they were just blurry colors and shapes.
  1010. (Wallis)
  1011. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1012.  
  1013. [19:13] The Ookami would approach the regent calmly.
  1014.  
  1015. He'd stand in her side to protect the boy's soul. :
  1016.  
  1017. " You are not alone Regent Koume… I will support. "
  1018. (Potayo Invidia)
  1019. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1020.  
  1021. [19:13] Denier views Decys in all his imposing glory. If you could call aiming to destroy glory. One Archon claimed himself the archon of Glory, and he took the wrong ways to achieving lasting glory. No, this man.. or perhaps creature.. would be put to rest for attacking peace. Not for attacking Gehenna, Huangzhou or Crafthold, but peace.
  1022.  
  1023. "Are you prepared to answer for your actions? Have you come to be put to rest? Sadly.." His body slowly covered itself in full in Dull grey Cold Iron, bonded to his mana signature. "That is what you have come to meet. Be it in this form, or in full. Come. Fight. Die." His face was slowly covered by cold iron entirely to maximize his mana efficiency, amplifying the cosmic flow through his body, the pain flowing through him and seething from his body. His mind shifted from emotions to pure logic and one command.
  1024.  
  1025.  
  1026. (Denier Nevus)
  1027. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1028.  
  1029. [19:14] Ashera would smell the depravity slowly drawing closer towards her. She would glare at the man, as the young boy would be captured... This was not a good sight. A man, shrouding his face with a skull and antlers having tendrils of thorns near him.
  1030.  
  1031. Ashera would glare daggers at the man. She would recognize those thorns and vines from the wolves earlier...That man would strangle the dogs with the thorns to force the undead animals to obey his commands....
  1032.  
  1033. And now not only that. He has taken an innocent boy with him. She would not allow him to take another life once again. She would prepare her sword. gritting her teeth...
  1034.  
  1035. "Hang in there! We are going to help you get you out of there!"
  1036.  
  1037. Ashera would yell, as her holy aura would continue to gleam. She would propel towards the enemy using her ability to fly.
  1038. (Ashera Ixis)
  1039. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1040.  
  1041. [19:14] Mikhaila Elisheva whispers something.
  1042. [19:14] Sera Elisheva whispers something.
  1043. [19:14] Yiren Lian says, "Don't all pile up on the boy now... They could be hoping to use him as bait."
  1044. [19:15] Amalka asks, "How many should be good to protect him?"
  1045. [19:15] It matters very little who the enemy is. Fallen comrade, vampire, flesh abomination.
  1046.  
  1047. It only matters that they're impeding Gehenna and it's goal to repair the Wraiths. All else pales in comparison to that great goal, worked by many hands.
  1048.  
  1049. The overgrown Dryad isn't about to be distracted by the hostage, if she needs to, she'd strike through them at the true enemy - though, fortune favors Leon, a woman surrounded by tangible magical fields comes to defend him.
  1050.  
  1051. With that, wide eyes turn back to the laughing beast, thin macahuitl held in one hand, wooden staff in the other, her legion of foliage clustered around their summoner as the rumbling earth poises to drag them down and crush them into paste.
  1052. (Yolihuani)
  1053. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1054.  
  1055. [19:15] Potayo Invidia says, "Hrm..."
  1056. [19:15] Alvi Slade says, "Oh, a pragmatist/"
  1057. [19:15] Alvi Slade says, "Interesting."
  1058. [19:15] Koume's words are heard loud and clear! This cretin wasn't to be killed-- not yet, at least. So just in case her shouts are lost to the roaring crowd of magi, she raises her own voice, eager to help.
  1059.  
  1060. "Do not kill!" She reinforces. "Detain him without killing! He knows important things!" Important things. Yeah. That.
  1061. (Brina)
  1062. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1063.  
  1064. [19:16] Jesse huffs, taking his stance once more. With everything against him now, fighting side by side with what was an essentially an entire army of magi - it was hard to believe anything could muster a real threat. But what was more baffling and terrifying was that he still felt that danger. Still felt a threat.
  1065.  
  1066. What monster could they face now that would still strike fear into his heart with all this support?
  1067.  
  1068. "These undead creations have gone too far. We can't keep letting it go on like this... something has to be done. I can't imagine what kind of damage might be possible if these kinds of monsters escaped Agartha somehow."
  1069. (Jesse Hawke)
  1070. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1071.  
  1072. [19:16] Mikhaila Elisheva whispers something.
  1073. [19:16] Mikhaila Elisheva whispers something.
  1074. [19:16] Renegin stares down the boy and then the new man...the leader. It had to be him. He heard his voice before, at Crafthold. This bastard had finally decided to come out and face them on the field....and serious error.
  1075.  
  1076. Renegin didn't care about the remaining undead, or even the boy. Seeing the angel like woman fly to protect him instilled him with the confidence that things would be fine. He charged direcly at the leader, even as the winds whipped up around him and threatened to fly him off course and into a tree.
  1077.  
  1078. His aura stayed bright, and his wounds kept leaking blood onto the field. Time would tell if they would injure him seriously....or kill him. At this point it didn't matter, what mattered was bringing his super charged Nyeshk sword down onto the head of this self-proclaimed undead leader and killing them.
  1079.  
  1080. He was giving Dawn a bad reputation...and the innocents he had killed in his rampant raids would never be reclaimed....so the satisfaction fromthe cracking of his bones under the hits of his sword would have to be enough.
  1081. (Renegin Billard)
  1082. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1083.  
  1084. [19:16] Amalka says, "I-I caan't see much, but I hear you! No murder."
  1085. [19:17] Esso glances back at Mikhaila briefly before turning back to the.. thing that challenged them. He couldn't say that the angel girl was wrong about what she said.
  1086. (Esso Naam)
  1087. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1088.  
  1089. [19:18] "His wolves?"
  1090.  
  1091. The intensity of his corrupt magic would strengthen with the arrival of the man. He looks to the figure in the distance that speaks. The winds around him had previously lessened some, but now they howl to existence again. His fist clench as he stares across the land, over the shoulders of some others.
  1092.  
  1093. "Is he the leader of these undead? All undead? Someone of Dawn?" As he speaks his tone is bitter and infuriated. His assumptions bring sorrow and rage from previous happenings. Events that left a deep hatred for the undead specifically from Dawn.
  1094.  
  1095. The winds around the enemy are intimidating and something he's unable to match, and their size grows large while he stares across, but his eyes are full of resolve as he steps forward. Preparing himself to attack. A brief look is given tothe injured Karok, motioning for him to follow.
  1096.  
  1097. "Come, brother!"
  1098. (Xitzi Qumara)
  1099. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1100.  
  1101. [19:19] The man would look at the scene.
  1102.  
  1103. "the boy is dead he shall be freed one way." That was all that needed to be said.
  1104. (Fouka Luxata)
  1105. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1106.  
  1107. [19:20] Alaisha was obviously a bit late to the party, but she couldn't stand there while her homeland was in peril! There was her eternal look of determination in her eyes as she grasps her blade in hand, and gritting her teeth, she would brace herself for the challenge ahead. She knew she was far from the greatest fighter present, but if her simple presence could help buy a minimum of time for others, she feels like she'd have accomplished much already.
  1108.  
  1109. She remains silent, was she nervous? Maybe, but her eagerness is as great as ever.
  1110. (Alaisha)
  1111. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1112.  
  1113. [19:22] Amalka drinks a nice beer!
  1114. (Amalka)
  1115. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1116.  
  1117. [19:25] Varick the Wayfarer says, "Thanks koume..."
  1118. [19:25] {NARRATION} (Nicely done. Help up the dead and feel free to do your battle RPs.
  1119. NOEL ELISHEVA got the last hit.)
  1120. [19:27] Fouka would not expect such immense power. This was more than he thought would come. The power of this creature would begin to spread. It was not enough time to fly and move out the way. Fouka was swallowed by the power and fell to the ground.
  1121.  
  1122. "Damn...."
  1123.  
  1124. The man would say as the battle continued on.
  1125.  
  1126. This creature indeed had took down a bit of them. Fouka would slowly get up after it was finally over but he still was hurt.
  1127. (Fouka Luxata)
  1128. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1129.  
  1130. [19:28] Nate had jumped in with his guard up and taken the first of the most battering hits from Decys. Unfortunately it would be too much for him to handle for long so he attacks back while he can. It seems the close quarters fighters may have had quite the disadvantage here.
  1131. (Nate Kreed)
  1132. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1133.  
  1134. [19:29] It had truly been far too long since the Fae had last been part of a true battle, however that did not stop her from doing her part- Whilst flying across the battlefield, she would share her power with those nearby. Whenever possible, flurries of magic were unleashed!
  1135.  
  1136. All in all, she managed to keep her distance just fine, as she tried desperately to chase down Perseus to provide him aid; although it seemed he did not need it in the end!
  1137.  
  1138. "Job well done, everyone!" A nod!
  1139. (Nyphadora)
  1140. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1141.  
  1142. [19:29] Li would continue to fight at the best of his abilities. The enemy was far stronger than he could expect, but he still managed to keep up without getting knocked out.
  1143. The blacksmith would adopt a guerriglia tactic where he would dash toward the necromancer and then back up when he was in danger.
  1144. After all there were many other people to cover his back, so he could rest easy.
  1145. While the enemy was strong, the collective struggle of all the magi present in the fight was more than enough to resist him.
  1146. (Li)
  1147. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1148.  
  1149. [19:29] Just as before, the power of the stars above would be called upon and used in full force. Stars rained down from above onto the battlefield, taking care to avoid his allies and only strike their massive foe. If Decys hadn't been defeated here, then who knew what type of horror would befall the rest of Agartha.
  1150.  
  1151. With that in mind, the Cooper gave it his all, combining waves of fire as well as ethereal energy from the stars in a collision that was just as powerful as it was beautiful.
  1152.  
  1153. He hadn't done much in the battle, but the purpose wasn't to be the star, it was to work collectively to take down their foe and in that end, it had been achieved.
  1154. (Hito Cooper)
  1155. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1156.  
  1157. [19:29] Those who wielded blades had found themselves charging in to exchange blows against such an overwhelming force, as such a young mage continued to fire from the back of such a potent assault. Winds continually knocking back against such a man, with blades of shimmering gold consistently being shot in the direction of this vile individual.
  1158.  
  1159. The blood of The Divine roared through the veins of each of these children, such a conflict had turned into a war zone.
  1160.  
  1161. "Get him!" Sera would find his voice booming throughout these explosions and clangs all around. Soldiers which had fallen, knocked to the ground only able to look on as Noel stood before this being. Wounded from the assault, those wings of pure white speaking loud and clear of who would come to finish off this being of pure rot.
  1162.  
  1163. His own sibling.
  1164.  
  1165. Being given such a chance, such a single opportunity to display their own power.
  1166.  
  1167. In such, Sera could only watch as Noel would finally knock down this enemy before them.
  1168. (Sera Elisheva)
  1169. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1170.  
  1171. [19:30] Something happened.
  1172.  
  1173. Maybe time magic came out from a rift behind him and just straight up froze him. Jesse couldn't explain it. Terror? Hesitation? A change of heart? Whatever. He stands still, despite all that happens around him. His vision blacks and when he comes to again? He finds himself laying on the ground.
  1174.  
  1175. "Ugh... what..."
  1176. (Jesse Hawke)
  1177. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1178.  
  1179. [19:30] Denier pants as the shell of cold iron was once more broken through by a powerful foe. He was not the strongest, but he was himself and there was no changing that by any amount of alchemical aid. The massive amount of mana was, after all, what he was sourcing his power from. Even as the dangerous winds sheared a good amount of metal from his skin, dashed across the ground a fine grey sand... That was going to take forever to find being blown around like glitter!
  1180.  
  1181. What really bothered him, however, was the injury that came from the ordeal, finally finding himself harmed as the logic began to fade.. the task felt complete at least and he no longer needed to deprive himself of sensation to amplify his power and compound the mana within himself.
  1182.  
  1183. "Is.. everyone.. okay? No one.. died.. right?" Pain was finally beginning to register.
  1184. (Denier Nevus)
  1185. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1186.  
  1187. [19:30] Another addition to the rhythm of battle.
  1188.  
  1189. The appearance of the man cloaked in skins cracking and bending upward into a corruption of nature is nothing more than another beat the undead has to hit. Alongside the onslaught of all the rest, a beacon of cyan light slams its way into the creature's side, slamming the arcanium blade within as he drags it down in a line.
  1190.  
  1191. … however, there is another necessity.
  1192.  
  1193. As the others continue to assault the monstrosity, the figure mimicking a Virtue of Justice's wings draws his blade from its newly-made sheath, ripped in the side of the creature.
  1194.  
  1195. Like a Valkyrie he descends to pull the wounded from danger. Like a falcon swooping down upon a rat, he MOST DEFINITELY tries to pick Shai Oshura up and carry her away from the fighting, before dropping her a safe distance away.
  1196.  
  1197. … though likely not as gently as he otherwise might.
  1198. (Perseus Kang)
  1199. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1200.  
  1201. [19:31] Krez dashes between smokes of poisons and curruption runes helping the others as much as he could,cleansing their weakened and slowed bodys with his holy marble and giving their skin toughness with is holy wards,slowing the enemy with his mud and burning it with his magma,fire and holy runes,the boy felt purposefull... like being apart of something great.
  1202.  
  1203. "Aha!"
  1204.  
  1205. He giggles excited at their victory against the second challange his confidence raising once again.
  1206. (Krez)
  1207. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1208.  
  1209. [19:31] Before he could even process it, the battle began and a thundering of magics were unleashed, but despite that, not long passed before the fight was over. Esso dashed in repeatedly, trading scratch for scratch while doing his best to avoid the magicks of his allies.
  1210.  
  1211. The foe went down and true to his word, he stands up straight, looking around for downed allies. In a flash, he's at Cheska's side, offering his hand to help her up.
  1212. (Esso Naam)
  1213. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1214.  
  1215. [19:31] For most of the battle against the commander of the undead legion, Wallis is happier than he's ever been. He's coasting on bloodlust and a constant affirmation of that bloodlust, watching things scatter in the chaos, watching his spells shake the earth -
  1216.  
  1217. That last part may just be his imagination speaking to him, though.
  1218.  
  1219. All until something catches him, and panic fills his mind. The cold scratches him, forces him to flee to wait it out, as every bit of excitement was reversed.
  1220.  
  1221. Everything ends in a blur, a rush he couldn't see. When he came back to his senses, after the panic and Occult adrenaline had finished working itself through his system, he was curled up near a scattered and shredded tree stump.
  1222.  
  1223. Alive, more shaken than seriously wounded, but he still won't stop checking himself for bleeding.
  1224. (Wallis)
  1225. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1226.  
  1227. [19:31] The serpent crashes through.
  1228.  
  1229. As the mass of Huangzhou magi go to rescue the hostage, the serpent puts faith in their work- He focuses, sliding in a wash of raw, threshing water that left a streaming trail for the other water magi to take hold of and draw upon for their own castings.
  1230.  
  1231. His tyrium blade carves through the powers that be, though a crashing rush of the stone and darkness forces the serpent back towards Shizuko, recovering. It was the quicksilver nature of the serpent glides through the trees with ease.
  1232.  
  1233. The smell of rot drives him on, and his black blade crashes through and shatters enchantments with ease, falling back as the concerted powers of the Gehennans defending their lands, the Huangzhou emissaries, the Crafthold contigent, the blessed, and even the Black Rose mercenaries were able to surge forwards.
  1234.  
  1235. Noel had it, in the end.
  1236.  
  1237. and it was a warm, reassuring business.
  1238. (Eiphraem Kang)
  1239. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1240.  
  1241. [19:31] He plays carefully this time. He breaks away diving between trees as the Magi dropped large scale magic on their target. He stalks the man before blurring towards his foe with his weapon hanging low plowing the ground as he quickly approached the man who was busy handling others!
  1242.  
  1243. Crack!
  1244.  
  1245. The air seems to explode as he propels him self in a reckless spiral past the man slashing him in the back carving out some flesh softening him up before the Angels would nuke the enemy to hell and back! The boy lands on his feet sliding across the ground before he shouts out to Noel.
  1246.  
  1247. "Well go on! Finish him off already!"
  1248. (Nameless)
  1249. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1250.  
  1251. [19:32] The forest would once again erupt with an explosion of magical energy, just about every type of magic was being used here. It was chaos as she witnessed swordsman falling down, her eyes flickered to Fouka as he too would hit the ground. That image enraged her as she would skip across the area unleashing everything she could upon the creature.
  1252.  
  1253. Vile hatred was starting to consume her thoughts as the beast was being broken down by the magi which were standing together, she was sure that there were some swordsman that still remained standing but it was a mess.
  1254.  
  1255. Surprisingly as they would bring down this large beast the woman would still remain on her feet, this was the comeback that she had wanted. To face off against these monsters and still be capable of holding her ground against them to defend her people.
  1256.  
  1257. Rushing to Fouka she would stand by his side, they were bound together now and there was nothing that was going to rip them apart.
  1258. (Adira Luxata)

  1260.  
  1261. [19:32] Mikiko stabs potayo in the kidney and devours them whole; voring them entirely
  1262. (Mikiko Heifang)
  1263. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1264.  
  1265. [19:32] Esso snatches up the bunny before Mikiko can do it harm.
  1266. (Esso Naam)
  1267. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1268.  
  1269. [19:32] Shai made the mistake of trying to attack the Necromancer heads-on. She phantom strikes the monster, her form appearing across the evil foe as she strikes against his large form. But like a fly, she is swatted ruthlessly. The girl is cast aside, her body limp against the beings assault.
  1270.  
  1271. Ahead, she crashes into the corrupt earth, her body rolling to a complete stop.
  1272.  
  1273. "H--...H...." Weakly, she tried to look across at the battle. Her gaze was weak and her hood was pulled back. She grips into the dirt as she tries to regain her senses, to pull herself up from the dirt in a desperate attempt to rejoin the fight. But every part of her body was ore.
  1274.  
  1275. Her back was limp and bruised. "I..." Her head dips onto the dirt, resting there for some minutes vibrations played out bellow her and sound cascaded through the air. Then suddenly - She was airborn, a painful pressure along her stomach as she's dragged away at high velocity.
  1276.  
  1277. Only to crash against the ground again. Completely and utterly unaware of what just happened, she squirms for some minutes afterwards. Until she manages to limply move to her feet, the world spinning in a distraught haze.
  1278. (Shai Oshura)
  1279. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1280.  
  1281. [19:33] Ashera would rush towards the injured man, And would use her huge blade to defend the man before her. She would make sure that the boy was alright. She would help Koume drag the innocent life to safety. As she wanted to make sure that he was ok first.
  1282.  
  1283. Once Ashera had removed him from far from the warzone. She would then add her own contributions to the fight, As she would grab her blade and would begin to move once more at the enemy before her.
  1284.  
  1285. "You will not harm the people here any more!
  1286.  
  1287. The krausite paladin would say. as she would push towards the enemy before her. blade slashing shrough the heavy gales of the chaos wielder. She would back out checking that everyone incluing the boy waere
  1288. (Ashera Ixis)
  1289. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1290.  
  1291. [19:33] Fouka Coughs out blood
  1292. (Fouka Luxata)
  1293. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1294.  
  1295. [19:33] Again, she was careful. She kept her distance, but did well to pull her weight as safely as she could. Had she been as weak as she was the previous time these creatures attacked, she would've already been burned and deafened again.
  1296.  
  1297. But with luck on her side, that wasn't the case this time. She only found herself with scratches and bruises-- negligible injuries that wouldn't cause her to waver.
  1298.  
  1299. Once she was certain her ice had caused the man's limbs to lock and freeze even the slightest bit? She jumped back far enough out of the chaos to scour the land in search of fallen allies. If anyone needed help? She'd be quick to get them away from the danger.
  1300.  
  1301. So when she spots Denier amongst one of the tripped up few? She's quick to swerve over to him. "Hey, Denier!" She slides to a cautionary halt. "Are you alright?"
  1302. (Brina)
  1303. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1304.  
  1305. [19:34] Instead of passive support, there was fury. Est, lover of animals, simply couldn't stand for this. Whenever she could she rushed in, tossing daggers made of ice at the creature. Smoke slowly covered the dreadwoods - a thick fog that made it more and more difficult for the beast to move as time went on. Even if she wanted it dead, hers was magic largely suited to incapacitation - and so she'd not get in the way of subduing it like some of the assembled defenders wished to do.
  1306.  
  1307. But nobody could argue that she was more active in this bout than in the previous - doubtlessly increased motivation and truly coming into her new life as a magi. She was a helpless peasant no longer.
  1308. (Est)
  1309. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1310.  
  1311. [19:34] Renegin bull-rushed into the battle with the leader sword first, an intense battle of physical and magical might and...just complete, utter chaos. He swung, and didn't stop...but quickly his defenses like the many that had rushed into the fray with him were overpowered....he was not strong enough to contend with this powerhouse.
  1312.  
  1313. He retreated, and while many fell in the initial assault of the undead General Renegin back himself up and re-evaluated. He skirted the field of battle and then abruptly....the man disappeared. He was un-seeable, Renegin was confused by this and ran up again into the battle with his allies.
  1314.  
  1315. He did not see the polymorph occur and as such, when the it dissipated and the leader reformed he was taken off guard. A blast of unknown energy hit him into the chest, knocking the wind out of him and flying him back a few feet. His bright sustained aura went out and he hit the ground with a few tumbles. He stayed there for awhile.
  1316.  
  1317. He was not unconscious...but the intense pain he felt was worse then what he had ever dealt with before...hit twice in one battle with strong attacks? He wondered how he would feel when the adrenaline wared off.
  1318. (Renegin Billard)
  1319. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1320.  
  1321. [19:34] Confused. That was the only way to describe Galahad as he crossed through Gehenna, noticing... Little, to almost no people there. He stayed for far too long in Crafthold, and it was time to go back home by now. But it hasn't been that long, has it? There had to be a reason for why so many were missing.
  1322.  
  1323. Through the swamps he floats, emerald-green eyes examining his surroundings at any given moment. There was no one there, too.
  1324.  
  1325. The blond reaches the dreadwoods next, where a familiar feeling welcomes him- but it's stronger. He feels occultist magic flowing more than ever before in this cursed forest. Why?
  1326.  
  1327. .. The army answers that. There was another attack, and the knight knew it was that damn lich and his army again. But has he shown his face this time? Could they bring an end to these senseless attacks today?
  1328.  
  1329. Galahad couldn't know for sure- but he was prepared nonetheless. Ascending skywards, his mana flowed through his person - conjuring blasts of gravity magic along with shiny meteors, the boy himself beaming with cosmic magic. A wispy violet aura shrouded him, and he seemed to sparkle a tad, too.
  1330.  
  1331. It was strange- throughout all of this fight... He felt... Good. As if battering an enemy with his magic was his calling.
  1332.  
  1333. Why?
  1334.  
  1335. He wasn't sure.
  1336. (Galahad Gwynne)
  1337. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1338.  
  1339. [19:34] Tototl was, by all means, beyond his own reasoning as he rushed forth. The cyan streak of a Chieftain attacked without a semblance of thought - Violence was his calling card, that was how this fiend of a man would be taken down. Cut by cut, dip by dive, he streamed about the giant--
  1340.  
  1341. And then, there was a twinge. An all too familiar twinge from those years oh so long ago atop the mountains nearby. Perhaps it was the result of overexerting his man circuitry and the convergence points within. Drawing such a large amount of the energy was draining, after all, but Spirits did it suck when all control over his mana leaves!
  1342.  
  1343. Especially in front of the enemy.
  1344.  
  1345. A torrent of vines, winds, and varying other elements slam against his mana-fueled form. The wind in turn is knocked out of him, the Chieftain's body skipping across the Dreadwood's floor. He's nearly out could, but he can barely stand even then - Thankfully Ohtli helps the snow-haired Gehennan up however.
  1346.  
  1347. Covered in cuts and bruises from head to toe, a tanned hand gingerly checks himself for anything fatal. It wasn't hard to tell the man was practically dead-tired from it all though. He'd give his life for his people and the Spirits, however, and such was the price.
  1348. (Tototl)
  1349. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1350.  
  1351. [19:34] The leader of this all? The one controlling these wolves or at least guiding them? Whatever it was Nasu knew it was an enemy. He casts his fiery magic and begins to strike hard, blasting himself forward but the wind proved difficult to go at.
  1352.  
  1353. His fires burnt the powerful enemy but others broke and he tried to swing his blade but proved ineffective.
  1354.  
  1355. He was blown away and slammed back into a tree, taking another strong blow..
  1356.  
  1357. Nasu laid on the ground, slowly getting up this time, weakened, in pain.. he struggled to stand but managed himself for the most part.. deep down he started to feel doubt in himself, he just needed to train more.
  1358. (Nasu Ixis Kimyona)
  1359. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1360.  
  1361. [19:34] The already injured varick would walk up to the front line breathing haggardly, He could tell this fight would be a tough one... As soon as the battle begins, one would see the soldier charge in with professional movements, dodging and weaving through the onslaught of wind and magic. The man would cut at the creature several times, phantom striking again and again in an effort to weaken it.
  1362.  
  1363. "That's right mate's keep the pressure o-"
  1364.  
  1365. The man would find himself blasted back with a powerful explosion of magic. The man would black out for a moment, his ears were ringing. He would cough up blood a bit more profusely now... However, despite his condition, the man would weakly grin as the creature was ultimately defeated by the defense force. He'd close his eyes with a few haggard breathes.
  1366.  
  1367. He'd barely wheeze out a few words
  1368.  
  1369. "I need a drink hehe-"
  1370.  
  1371. he'd cough several times, blood coming up from his mouth again. his lungs hurt....
  1372. (Varick the Wayfarer )
  1373. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1374.  
  1375. [19:34] Head of the smaller horde...
  1376.  
  1377. He knows where the Ghoul King is...
  1378.  
  1379. The words of another are carried by the wind and heard clearly. In hearing this his eyebrows furrow, continuing to move forward alongside the others. Determined to take down the man -- to preferably capture and interrogate. By claiming victory over the man it would be a step forward for all against the undead horde.
  1380.  
  1381. As if he hadn't fought earlier, he fights unrestraint and with vigor. His magic works in a myriad of ways; slowing, chipping away at them, and so on. Using his magics he's able to maintain distance and attack, while avoiding serious injuries himself. Though he does find cuts from their powerful winds forming on his body.
  1382.  
  1383. But he winces and continues on. By the end he watches as one of the angelic children strike down the ominous figure, his eyes narrowing and his eyebrows unable to deepen anymore. Their enemy is brought down, but not by someone he preferred. Nonetheless... the fight is now over.
  1384.  
  1385. "Damnit..." He says, staring ahead and breathing in heavily. Waiting to see what happens next. Expecting more, or the end.
  1386. (Xitzi Qumara)
  1387. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1388.  
  1389. [19:35] Alaisha exclaims, "Lotus, are you holding up? That was pure chaos!"
  1390. [19:35] It was chaos, as someone walked out of the forest, a powerful undead that trumped the ones they had seen earlier. Immediately upon staring, he froze, unsure exactly on what to do against such a thing. But as it started, they backed away, seeing the absolute devastating it led to. His eyes moved from it to Nakiri, knowing that their best friend was also facing such a thing for the first time.
  1391.  
  1392. Soon he had grouped himself up, eyeing the undead and calling down the powers of the cosmic entities in the sky above them. Cold power called to him, slightly empowering every move he did as they pushed forth, filling the area with various attacks until they watched a demi-angel get the final blow.
  1393.  
  1394. Soon he paused, stopping dead in his tracks looking exhausted and lightly injured. Having stayed out of the thick of things, no true injuries actually lined his body. Instead they rushed to the one closest to them and looked over their body, to make sure no injuries were had.
  1395. (Sun Heifang)
  1396. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1397.  
  1398. [19:35] Krez says, "Don't worry varick buddy,resist a little bit and you will have your sake."
  1399. [19:36] The battle was cruel, fighting seemed to be that way. OR, maybe it was because of all the rot and despair? Terra was not entirely sure, but she didn't like it, not one bit.
  1400.  
  1401. Rushing forwards with mild winds and a raised staff, the child rode the breeze. Trying to keep distance and stay far from the line of sight of this man, the girl aimed to distracted him with leaves and dirty flying into his face while large cyclones of wind blew forwards. But, one way or another? trouble found her.
  1402.  
  1403. It was unclear what actually did her in. All that Terra could remember was a rising wall of rock and thorny vines that gripped her. Slammed backwards into an outcrop of rock, she went down again and hit the stones with a concerning snap. The world grew dark, her vision hazy and everyone around had a twin.
  1404.  
  1405. What in the world..?
  1406.  
  1407. Laying on the floor, having once more slumped over, Terracotta decided this was a great place to nap, maybe never get up from again? Keeping one eye open, that green orb watched the happenings of everything while her head stopped spinning.
  1408. (Terracotta)
  1409. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1410.  
  1411. [19:36] Lotus whispers something.
  1412. [19:36] Denier holds his body as his magnetic field expanded slowly, aimed entirely on his bonded Cold Iron, pulling it back to his body slowly like faint grey whisps. "I.. am hurt.. I.. am not dead.. Brina. The job.. is done.. yes?"
  1413. (Denier Nevus)
  1414. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1415.  
  1416. [19:36] What a mess.
  1417.  
  1418. Nakiri took note of the people gathering to aid the boy who'd unknowingly been taken by the malevolent being that soon emerged from the depths of the Dreadwoods, seeking to challenge the horde of challengers. Evidently, he chose to wrong opponents to cross.
  1419.  
  1420. It began. Chaos flashed before her eyes, she was almost overwhelmed by the sight of tens and tens of magi, soldiers, demi-angels alike jumping towards Decys. Spells she'd yet to witness were all brought forth at once. It was no time to be amazed regardless. The Lifestream had to be corrected from all of this... Undeath.
  1421.  
  1422. Utilizing the cover of everyone present, her staff is poised towards the ground beath the being - a magic circle of her own design formed, and from it, gravitational forces amassed and condensed to the point of tearing into space itself. Although nowhere near enough to down him on it's own, she did everything in her power to hinder their movements and shred away atthem for the others to strike with a larger margin of recklessness allowed. She had to work on using her spells that way.
  1423.  
  1424. Invevitably, the plan went as majority predicted. The boy was apparently saved and she masked the surprised once realizing who'd actually struck Decys down. Noel. Already getting closer to his goals. She was too atleast.
  1425. (Nakiri Reiha)
  1426. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1427.  
  1428. [19:36] Ashera would then see Noel charge up another final attack of his. He would summon the swords before him, as they would be sent flying the chaos users way...
  1429.  
  1430. The blades would hit him at a constant rate, and would slowly begin to overpower him.. She would see that the angel of the divine had successfully knocked the enemy down. it seemed koume was ready to interrogate him if needed.
  1431. (Ashera Ixis)
  1432. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1433.  
  1434. [19:36] Ashera Ixis says, "There is the other half."
  1435. [19:36] Sinael patiently waited for an opportunity to help the allied forces. The boy didn't really have much to offer aside from trying to occupy the wicked blue vines.
  1436.  
  1437. He slashed at them, noticing.. it did nothing. He couldn't so much as damage them, it seemed a bit bizarre something like this existed on this island.
  1438.  
  1439. He got caught on the vines, kicking in desperation for them to loosen their grip from his sandal. The boy stabbed at the vine, blue and green matter came seeping from the vines. He feared being coiled and crushed to death.
  1440.  
  1441. The boy was shuddering, close to tears.
  1442.  
  1443. Suddenly.. a pair of wings took to the air, a magnificent light shrouding their person.
  1444.  
  1445. All he heard was shouts of the allied force in unison, cheering them on. He himself, opening his mouth, and nothing but yelp coming out. He felt relief, seeing those wings beating gracefully before the target.
  1446.  
  1447. In one dazzling display of a blend of magic penetrating the skull wearing individuals body, the boys leg felt little resistance. He was freed from the vines.
  1448. (Sinael Anauel)
  1449. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1450.  
  1451. [19:37] Little attention or mind is given to the hostage at all, and instead, just as the wolves where attacked, the overgrown Dryad fights against the vine-wielding undead!
  1452.  
  1453. Staying back for most of the fight, marshalling her legions of autumn-hued foliage to strike and whip at the lieutenant of the Ghoul-king. Lashing vines, sickening spores, and conjured rocks all seek to return the beast to the soil.
  1454.  
  1455. Without warning, the lanky creature charges in a time or two, her elegant, thin macahuitl lashing out, the twisted-vine composed weapon aiming to strike like an obsidian-toothed whip. To rend flesh and tear vines in a few quick, decisive strikes.
  1456.  
  1457. Before retreating, temporarily, her bleeding, bark-fleshed hand allowing droplets of her animus laced blood to drip to the Occult-laced grass of the Dreadwoods. Blood that gives life, that calls upon ancient contracts to bring forth more of nature's wrath upon the interloper...
  1458. (Yolihuani)
  1459. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1460.  
  1461. [19:38] The very moment the battle began, mana tore through the circuitry running through the Lady Bavmor's arms, into her sword, and charging the runes that traveled across the golden surface of that bubble of light surrounding herself and Leon. She had to multitask, and strain herself to keep her barriers, concentrated, intricate runework, slowed pockets of time, and waves of weaponized gravity, all working in tandem to provide an adequate defense, as well as an offense.
  1462.  
  1463. When the winds turned her way, and attempted to silence the boy who had uttered vital information, the intricate, complicated runework shone and flickered to life. Everchanging, they aligned perfectly, to form a porthole of light that absorbed the incoming damage, and spew it out the backend, from another. The rest of the form puttered and pelted the shield, to no real effect.
  1464.  
  1465. She'd kept him safe. A glance over her shoulder, and Koume furrowed her brow in concern. He looked near dead. Her attention faltered for a moment. She had to send him a portion of her energy, that misty golden light, and stabilize him. He'd given her a good bit of information, and wasn't about to let it go to waste.
  1466.  
  1467. "Medic! On the boy!"
  1468.  
  1469. She left him there after the fight had concluded, and Noel had taken the enemy down, knowing there would at least be one person willing and able to actually give the boy the attention he deserved. She followed after the boy who had struck down the enemy, landing, finally, and hoping he had not taken its last breath.
  1470. (Koume Bavmor)
  1471. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1472.  
  1473. [19:38] Varick would wheeze, barely able to speak.
  1474. (Varick the Wayfarer )
  1475. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1476.  
  1477. [19:38] His failure to achieve what his sister had only motivates the demi-angel to work even harder on the battlefield. His movements become swift and precise, as if he had finally figured out the key to locking on to their enemy.
  1478.  
  1479. Then again, it wasn't exactly hard when the target was such a large one.
  1480.  
  1481. As much as he tried to come up with his own catchphrases and sayings, Elisheva's had stuck with him the entire bout. It wasn't just about fighting and killing the towering titan that worked as a general of the undead army. It wasn't just about saving the boy that had wandered too far in and had been captured, either.
  1482.  
  1483. It was about understanding why he had done any of it in the first place, and working to create a world where no one would ever have to harness such negative emotions again.
  1484.  
  1485. For the first time in his life, the demi-angel begins to hover up high into the air, towering over the vast majority of fighters present. That holy water auraclinging to his form suddenly disperses, and a brilliant aura that illuminates the entire Dreadwoods for a few short moments takes over.
  1486.  
  1487. "That's empathy. That's the power to connect. To mend. To love." He stops ascending at a certain point, holy aura now condensing and traveling back to a particular spot on his back - his wings.
  1488.  
  1489. They glow with an otherworldy hue, then begin to shimmer as more feathers are formed and length is gained. Before long, each one is about the size and length of his body - a callback to when Ohtli mentioned a bird with wings that were too big for it. But somehow, this felt just right.
  1490.  
  1491. "I don't know why the Lich made you all like this. I don't know why he wants to hurt Agartha and everyone in it. But I know that this is where we start to fight back!" Several dozen golden swords form around him, each one now aiming at a different point on Decys Woodbane's corrupted form with the intent to pierce and pin him to the ground.
  1492.  
  1493. Without further warning, they shoot out, hidden partially by the other magical attacks on the battlefield. They strike one after the other to hold him in place, leaving only one sword left - one that is held in the dominant left hand of Agartha's newest hero.
  1494.  
  1495. "With this, I'll put your body to rest and your soul at ease! Know the power of love!"
  1496.  
  1497. God, he needed to work on his hero catchphrases. But his form was flawless. The wings begin to fizzle out and shrink as he dives downwards in a spiral, on a crash course to drive his blade through the center of the man's heart as a finishing blow. Should he manage to land his hit, a wave of holy water explodes out around the two of them, bringing further harm to those of the occult and healing just about everyone else besides Alvi Slave and Perseus Kang.
  1498.  
  1499. It was the dramatic and heroic finish that the Dreadwoods didn't know it needed.
  1500. (Noel Elisheva)
  1501. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1502.  
  1503. [19:38] Sugarboy exclaims, "Medic in bound!"
  1504. [19:39] Koume Bavmor exclaims, "I- No! Noel!"
  1505. [19:39] Potayo Invidia says, "Mhm..."
  1506. [19:39] Koume Bavmor exclaims, "You huge meme!"
  1507. [19:40] The monster made himself visible.
  1508.  
  1509. She had known the undead horde had slaughtered any in their wake, but to actual see it for herself? Animals? The warriors in this battle?
  1510.  
  1511. A young man that just wanted to help?
  1512.  
  1513. She wasn't certain if the man perished right then and there, but the very thought of it spurred her on to fight with her utmost strength -- nothing held back. Along with the band of heroes present in the Dreadwoods, Mikhaila lashed out with winds that cut through trees and undead flesh alike and utilized holy swords that screamed through the air to pierce the man brutally.
  1514.  
  1515. However, it wasn't enough, not yet, she had to push herself again if she wanted to help minimize losses.
  1516.  
  1517. In a flash of light and holy magic, Mikhaila's eyes glowed gold while the mana circuits on her body glowed a similar shade. Large magnificent wings sprouted from her back as she took flight, raining down a hailstorm of golden swords toravage the land and the single, poor enemy.
  1518.  
  1519. ...Though it was short lived. The energies that coursed through her took a toll on her body, causing her to outright fall on the ground midflight.
  1520.  
  1521. Luckily, she was okay.
  1522.  
  1523. "Did we do it- we won! We BEAT HIM! HAHAHA!"
  1524. (Mikhaila Elisheva)
  1525. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1526.  
  1527. [19:41] The lady who called 'mediiiiic' was like a dog whistle. Well, Sugarboy got there first. So she peaks behind, hovers around... professionally!
  1528. (Amalka)
  1529. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1530.  
  1531. [19:41] Mital Vindict says, "Wow, the power of love."
  1532. [19:41] Mital Vindict says, "Imagine that."
  1533. [19:41] He squints at Noel.
  1534.  
  1535. He mouths out the word, 'Power of love.' He looks at the dead man and then back at the Angel.
  1536.  
  1537. "????" What the hell, That was lame as hell!
  1538. (Nameless)
  1539. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1540.  
  1541. [19:42] Est says, "Imagine."
  1542. [19:42] Sera Elisheva exclaims, "Super cool, Noel!"
  1543. [19:42] Ashera Ixis says, "I think its cute and pure."
  1544. [19:42] Ksixus realize this angels are weirdos.
  1545. (Ksixus)
  1546. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1547.  
  1548. [19:42] Est says, "Good work, Noel."
  1549. [19:42] Shai Oshura says, "E-eh... Love.... eh..."
  1550. [19:42] Alvi knew well enough not to throw themselves right into the fray with the creature and all of their comrades throwing everything they had at it. While it wasn't their most effective mode of combat, the witch was content to hang around the sidelines and throw the occasional ball of fire or curse its way, only waiting for an opening to throw themselves into the fray for extra damage. They couldn't benefit from Noel's amazing healing magics on account of being undead, but they didn't hold it against the angel.
  1551.  
  1552. Occasionally they'd pull someone out of the way, but they were far too busy with combat to make any amount of dedication into it.
  1553.  
  1554. By the time the creature known as 'Decys' was beaten, they joined the line of their allies with a heavy sigh, but they didn't relax. The last time they fought this horde, they always threw three waves.
  1555.  
  1556. "...The power of love? Really?"
  1557. (Alvi Slade)
  1558. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1559.  
  1560. [19:42] Denier Nevus says, "I'll.. need to get.. this looked at.."
  1561. [19:42] Shai rubs her head... dizzy...
  1562. (Shai Oshura)
  1563. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1564.  
  1565. [19:42] Noel Elisheva says, ".. Thank yo-"
  1566. [19:42] Sugarboy exclaims, "Power of Love, huh? I dig this kid!"
  1567. [19:42] Potayo now admire the young angel.
  1568. (Potayo Invidia)

  1570.  
  1571. [19:42] Alvi Slade whispers something.
  1572. [19:42] Alvi Slade whispers something.
  1573. [19:42] Perseus Kang whispers something.
  1574. [19:42] Shai Oshura asks, "....?"
  1575. [19:42] Mikhaila Elisheva says, "...I feel sick."
  1576. [19:42] Shai Oshura whispers something.
  1577. [19:43] Shai takes a step to the right. She almost stumbles over...
  1578. (Shai Oshura)
  1579. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1580.  
  1581. [19:43] Brina says, "Be careful, Denier. I would hate to see you get even more hurt."
  1582. [19:43] Sugarboy asks, "is it over?"
  1583. [19:43] Wallis drags himself back into the crowd, before forcing himself to a stand.
  1584. (Wallis)
  1585. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1586.  
  1587. [19:43] Denier Nevus says, "I do.. what must be.. done."
  1588. [19:43] Varick would still be lying on the ground coughing up blood... he didn't look to good
  1589. (Varick the Wayfarer )
  1590. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1591.  
  1592. [19:44] Shai Oshura says, "V-varick... You're coughing up red paint..."
  1593. [19:44] Nyphadora says, "Mm~"
  1594. [19:44] Perseus, right in the middle of the battle, turns to Shai and looks at her like she's retarded.
  1595.  
  1596. "I pulled you out of the thick of the fight. Keep your prejudice where it makes any sense, thanks."
  1597.  
  1598. Vigorous eye rolling.
  1599. (Perseus Kang)
  1600. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1601.  
  1602. [19:44] Shai Oshura says, "Wait... where am I-... Huh..."
  1603. [19:44] Wallis asks, "...Fuck. Is it over?"
  1604. [19:44] Shai Oshura says, ". . ."
  1605. [19:45] Shai Oshura asks, "You touched me?"
  1606. [19:45] Alvi Slade says, "Don't relax just yet."
  1607. [19:45] Brina exclaims, "Do what needs to be done, but do so safely!"
  1608. [19:45] Alvi Slade says, "I feel like there's another wave coming soon."
  1609. [19:45] Mikhaila Elisheva asks, "It's not over...?"
  1610. [19:45] Mikhaila Elisheva says, "Ugh- ow."
  1611. [19:45] Krez says, "No it isn't"
  1612. [19:45] Alvi Slade says, "When they attacked Crafthold, they didn't let up this easily."
  1613. [19:45] Renegin Billard says, "Are ye.....fuckin serious..."
  1614. [19:46] Mikhaila Elisheva says, "No matter! I'm okay- we can do this."
  1615. [19:46] Perseus Kang says, "We're. In the middle of a fight where people can actually die."
  1616. [19:46] Perseus Kang says, "And your priority is whether you've been TOUCHED."
  1617. [19:46] Perseus Kang says, "By an UNDEAD."
  1618. [19:46] Varick the Wayfarer says, "K-krez... tell me... is my beard ok? kehe- urghh..."
  1619. [19:46] Shai Oshura says, "What?... Where? "
  1620. [19:46] Alaisha was holding up her own chest, obviously in pain, but the smile on her lips told another story. She would be fine, Lotus figure, and there's a small laugh that escapes her, which turns into a cough.
  1621.  
  1622. "We did it!... Ow, it hurts to laugh..."
  1623.  
  1624. She shakes her head at that, recomposing herself. She grasps Lotus' hand.
  1625.  
  1626. "How about you?"
  1627. (Alaisha)
  1628. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1629.  
  1630. [19:46] Renegin pushes himself to his feet with great effort, resting on his sword. His breaths deep and ragged.
  1631. (Renegin Billard)
  1632. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1633.  
  1634. [19:46] Potayo Invidia says, "Hmm..."
  1635. [19:46] Renegin Billard says, "These bastards.....need tah just fuckin die."
  1636. [19:47] Koume Bavmor asks, "Hey, still with us?"
  1637. [19:47] Alaisha asks, "Aren't they, ow, already dead...?"
  1638. [19:47] Wallis says, "I don't know if I can - I have to make it. Can't run away."
  1639. [19:47] Leon says, "Er.."
  1640. [19:47] Perseus descends into the vocal equivalent of keyboard mashing, his words ultimately failing to work.
  1641. (Perseus Kang)
  1642. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1643.  
  1644. [19:47] Leon says, "Yeah..."
  1645. [19:47] Looks around dizzily. Her head was... Well, it got hit hard. Though her spine suffered the majority of the impact. She stares around her surroundings, not quite able to process the chaos of it all. But yes... They were... In a fight? It's a fight, isn't it? "You... attacked us?... Bloody undead..." She shakes her head...
  1646.  
  1647. (Shai Oshura)
  1648. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1649.  
  1650. [19:47] Alvi Slade says, "They're self-propagating. Until we find the so-called 'lich king' and kill him, the hordes will keep coming back from whatever it can kill."
  1651. [19:47] Renegin Billard says, "Die....again."
  1652. [19:48] Alvi Slade says, "Once the lich king dies, the horde will have five years until it decays to the point where their bodies cannot sustain their souls any longer."
  1653. [19:48] Koume Bavmor says, "...We would have known. But, mistakes were made."
  1654. [19:48] Eiphraem Kang says, "We'll need to triangulate."
  1655. [19:48] Leon wipes at his face as he tries to stand. He'll need help moving. "Just... get me to the city... I'll patch myself up from there."
  1656. (Leon)
  1657. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1658.  
  1659. [19:48] Perseus Kang says, "... no."
  1660. [19:48] Words could not measure the disappointment he felt, moving on to more important things he starts to move looking over corpses trying to find a familiar face. The battle was over and if he was still alive, Although he didn't need a father anymore at his age. He was fine with speaking with the man more, Perhaps he could tell him more about their lineage, His mother. Perhaps they could go hunting together?..
  1661.  
  1662. "...." He sniffs the air hoping to find his father in the midst of it all but he couldn't, and just like that. The man known as Yaotl left his life as quickly as he entered it.
  1663.  
  1664. It was as he said, He planned to die in this battle.
  1665.  
  1666. A sorrowful howl escaped his lips, Victory didn't feel as sweet anymore.
  1667. (Nameless)
  1668. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1669.  
  1670. [19:48] Koume Bavmor asks, "Sugarboy, would you mind?"
  1671. [19:48] Ashera Ixis says, "Quite unfortunate."
  1672. [19:48] Sugarboy says, "Follow me, Kid"
  1673. [19:48] Shai Oshura says, "Hhn..."
  1674. [19:48] Ashera Ixis says, "Though At least he died to the power of love."
  1675. [19:48] Sugarboy says, "ANY OTHER INJURED, HEAD TO THE CLINIC"
  1676. [19:48] Amalka says, "Ah...? How many? "
  1677. [19:48] Shai Oshura asks, "I'm not... injured I'm just... why is everything purple?"
  1678. [19:49] Krez says, "Injuried or not we gotta fight..."
  1679. [19:49] Lotus smiled though he was a bit beat up from all the fighting and his attempts to heal weren't all that great. Though he had a smile on his face happy they were able to keep them at bay for the time being.
  1680.  
  1681. I'm a little banged up, but I'll live just going need to heal up a bit later. I'm glad to see you though I haven't seen you and I got a bit worried
  1682. (Lotus)
  1683. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1684.  
  1685. [19:49] {NARRATION} The battle ended.
  1686.  
  1687. The lone necromancer who had turned the forest denizens into abominations was facing odds he couldn't possibly compete with. But to him it wasn't something to be afraid or even worried about. To him thi swas all about how much FUN he was having.
  1688.  
  1689. With each magi he sent back flying into a tree or skidding across the ground, Decys found himself laughing more and more. Some talked of subduing him, others spoke of killing him here, but he simply couldn't care how it all ended.
  1690.  
  1691. He had come here on a mission, sent here by the Ghoul King, and he'd accomplished it as far as he was concerned. Not a single, true undead corpse had been wasted this day. The Ghoul King's army wasn't even really present...
  1692.  
  1693. "Fools..." He grinned as one golden sword found its mark and threw the necromancer's shoulder back. "Animals of Gehenna. You don't know what else is--"
  1694.  
  1695. Another sword smashed and sliced through Decys' side. He had to clutch at the wound now as he stumbled back, and before he could say another word, a young demiangel had him pinned down and was piercing his heart with a watery blade of divine energy.
  1696.  
  1697. To die at the hands of the blessed, it felt like a fitting end.
  1698.  
  1699. "Boy... in Helheim, I will never know peace." he said as the life left his eyes. A satisfied smile was all that remained of the man, and smog finally cleared.
  1700. [19:50] {NARRATION} (Alright

  1728. [19:53] Amalka says, "hey guys its the seven mile spanking machine "
  1729. [19:54] Sugarboy says, "... Amalka I'm worried, sweetie."
  1730. [19:54] Amalka says, "I feel like I said something uncouth."
  1731. [19:54] Nakiri Reiha whispers something.
  1732. [19:55] Koume Bavmor whispers something.
  1733. [19:55] Nakiri Reiha whispers something.
  1734. [19:56] Koume fluttered her fake-ass wings.

  1771. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1772.  
  1773. [20:19] Alvi Slade asks, "I don't suppose now that we've all fought together we're gonna live in peace and harmony from now on, correct?"
  1774. [20:19] Sugarboy exclaims, "Alright, all injured and students who wanna learn medicine head to the clinic! It's the big building just west of the staircase!"
  1775. [20:19] Noel Elisheva asks, "You'd think right?"
  1776. [20:20] Sugarboy says, "Got a big ol cross made of torches on it, can't miss it"
  1777. [20:20] Koume Bavmor says, "We can head back as a group, should everyone be ready."
  1778. [20:21] Eiphraem Kang says, "pk i got a rock."
  1779. [20:21] Perseus Kang says, "me too"
  1780. [20:21] Wallis says, "I got a fairy."

  1799. [20:26] Noel Elisheva whispers something.
  1800. [20:27] Ashera would place her sword back in her sheathe. The evil was defeated. And the depraved corruption would slowly dispel. The krausite paladin would have a sigh. She would slowly take out a shovel. And start to calmly speak.
  1801.  
  1802. "It is done, May the spirits that were affected by the depravity of ones selfishness and depravity, return the to lifestream at once. May their travels be safe as always."
  1803.  
  1804. Ashera would understand and respect the life around her. They weren't people no.. But to her, their lives played an important part.. And in her opinion, should have never been intervened with in the first place...
  1805.  
  1806. But she is relaxed at the fact that they have not only put a forced suffering spirit to rest, and that the necromancer has been put to rest. The smell of Depravity would slowly dissipate. Another area dispelled of discord. She would
  1807.  
  1808. "Another place free from the depraved."
  1809.  
  1810. Ashera would gather herself, and head back west. Good was done today. As she had help avenge the spirits, and put a stop to the necromancers evil.
  1811. (Ashera Ixis)
