2021-10-04 01:17:25Three days passed from the time of Anthony and Christopher's Confrontation. For the most part Christopher slept through a majority of the time. He would wake up to eat, take care of any self care and then go back to his bed. Each passing day he was beginning to look worse and worse. He was having to maintain a constant flow of magic to keep the poison from spreading further, and he was beginning to lose. He could use magic to make a barrier for a very long time, use spell after spell most couldn't shit, even open the gates of the different Hells. But this poison that would kill lesser beings in less then a minute was something else entirely.
Beth had done everything she could to heal his physical wounds, and she did give him medicines that would generally help slow down most modern day poisons, but it seem to be having next to no effect on the one in Christopher's system. So What was she to do? She felt as if she was being driven half mad waiting and being unable to do

"This will definitely do."...Both the twins stood rooted their mouths agape. "I've never seen so many herbs in one place." Laura whispered."Indeed... Over enthusiastic friend may be an understatement." Lala readily had to agree. The group had tracked down Angela who was conducting trade business in a temporary office she had set up while waiting for word of Christopher's recovery. She quickly led the sisters to the place everything had been stored."Competition?""Most likely... Another girl's trying to make the moves on our master before we can." Hissed Lala."She rented an entire warehouse just for medicinal herbs." Briana whispered in awe."Well I suppose she is the heir to the Vicard trading company." Cassandra looked around in aw. Renting a space like this wouldn't be cheap in the least. Most successful merchants wouldn't even be able to afford such a place. Really the only time a space like this was rented out was

"But the only proxy stone anywhere near here belongs to Lady Cassandra.""Yes the messenger also said he's secured permission for you to use the stone.""You won't mind if I double check with Lady Cassandra will you? I personally don't feel like angering my host.""By all means please do Ma'am." Only a few days ago Andrea would have thoughtlessly just asked to be directed to the proxy stone and would contact the Emperor right away, but now? Not only was she used, but she witnessed a betrayal in the making from the very highest pinnacle of the Empire. One of the men closest to the Emperor himself! At this point she was questioning the motives of every Imperial soldier she came across. As it was she was beginning to question whether she should trust the soldiers who stayed loyal to her. 'No. Even I know I have to trust some people.' Oddly enough the people she trusted the most currently were the ones who were on the side of her enemies. How's that for some Irony.

"WHAT!?" Andrea's mouth dropped open."Huh.." Aldous only grunted in response to Havoc's request. 'Of all things he could ask for all he wants is a subordinate? Hell I would have given him a daughter or a son if he was into that sort of thing.' This was a clear cut answer in his mind."Y-You can't - No! I refuse!""Andrea you've served me faithfully for years. I Aldous EverHeart release you from all duties and obligations to the Empire as of this moment. If Havoc wishes to release you, you may return and resume your duties with a promotion.""WHA-!?" Andrea couldn't believe how Aldous was simply dismissing her. She had spent years working up the command. All of her accomplishments, sacrifices she's made for the Empire and he was throwing her away just like that."You will maintain your rank and as a noble. You may retain the men under your command as guards, I just request you send me a formal letter of their decision so not to consider them

In the shadows of a dimly lit room two figures were conversing with each other as equals. Concealing their actions, connections, and plans even from their closest of friends and allies."MMM!""Guess I shouldn't be surprised. That woman has always loathed my family.""Is this something we should be worried about?""I don't believe it will be an issue. Even if she does ally herself to The Black Guard it's still a single city and largely uninhabited territory.""Hmm even if it's known to be uninhabited that's still a gap of the unknown. Each unexplored acre is another possibility of things impeding our plan.""I do have some contacts in that area. I've already sent a messenger to them.""MM!""Good.. If you think everything is still within our margin of error then we shall proceed as planned."One silhouette faded away in the blink of an eye."HAHA. This is going to be perfect!

"Two armies?" Christopher asked surprised. 'Fuck.' To many scenarios were running through his mind at the moment. He originally believed one army could possibly be on the move, but both their intelligence and scouts had nothing to report of any other armies mobilizing, the obvious choices were The Empire and Albrael, but something about the desperation in the man's voice reporting, made that thought sound like a sweet promise whispered in the ear.. "One of them is Albrael's army correct?" "Yes sir. The other is-" A rather fat man sat on a giant ornamental chair laden with Gold, silver, and many different jewels built atop of a platform being hoisted by different species. Hundreds of men were gathered around the make shift platform kneeling with their heads bowed reverently. "HAHA I can't wait! I've never had an Emperor bend a knee to the rose yet!" The man cackled like a power hungry tyrant. Behind him were t

Silence.Everyone was well aware eventually the Army of Albrael would begin moving north towards Helenfel, but everybody was hopeful nobody would be willing to join with Albrael after their corruption and history of deceit was revealed."Guess it's not to surprising. What's more corrupt than religion. So long as it's not led by a god, there simply is no way to stop corruption from spreading. Chances are the pair will be looking to betray the other, but odds are they will likely wait until the war is over. If one has the advantage over the other I would be willing to bet Betrayal would be coming. If they end up even chances are they will uphold whatever their agreement is for the time being biding their time to strike at the other." Cassandra mumbled thinking the situation over.The corrupt siding with corrupt until their foe is vanquished, then turning on each other. Same story since the beginning of time."So this is the part that's going to

Well if you really want an And, howabout the last time I tried dragging you there you tortured me half to death!""There is a key word in that sentence I would like you to pick out. DRAGING! And I only tortured you after you tried killing me and refused to give up the name of who ordered it! Besides you acted like a sex starved fiend afterwards. I would have thought I was doing you a favor not punishing you.""It was hot.." Alayna mumbled under her breath her face turning bright red. Sadist, Masochist. Both words could easily be used to described the half mad vampire Depending on the day. "But I was not some sex starved animal!"..."You asked if I was going to violate you!

Christopher and Alayna stood before the crowd of friends who gathered in front of Cassandra's manor to wish the pair farewell.Christopher sighed a small glimmer of sadness creeping over him. 'This will be the first time in years I will be away from Elise for more than a few days. Though he would miss Elise, he at least had been allowed to spend time with her constantly over the past few years. Where as Brianna, and Cassandra he had not seen in years, Alesia had already taken off someplace with Marielle, and now the moment he is back, once again he is being pulled away. A part of him was happy vengeance was not far off, but at the same time he loved them.. No matter how small the amount of time was away from them, it was painful. He missed them every time."Make sure you come back soon. We are going to need you." Taelin called out. 'By the gods how the situation flipped on it's head. Never thought I would hope for his return.

"They used siege magic on the rear line?" Alexis asked with a furrowed brow. "Why would they expend so much magic on the rear line?" To Alexis this didn't make any sense. If they were using it as an opener to an attack from the rear, it would definitely be justifiable. Have your men rush in taking advantage of the destroyed lines and chaos. But using siege magic alone and backing off, would be like someone taking a shotgun to kill a spider inside their own house. Beyond overkill. If they had struck the center of their lines, their commanders, or even their supply train, Alexis could understand the expenditure. Most magic users could fling spells they specialized in for a majority of the day. But siege magic? The average mage could use it four times in one day, but be severely weakened for the next couple of days. Sure they could use siege magic again the next day, but each day without a proper recovery time the power of the attack would be cut in half. "Well sir it seems the rear l

Inside Helenfel. "Right here." Cassandra pointed at a section of her map sprawled out on the table. "This will be the perfect place." Andrea walked around the table to stand next to Cassandra looking down on the map. "Hmmm good call. When they emerge here they'll be in a bottleneck." "That's not all. They'll be coming around a corner too. They wont be able to see our army waiting for them until it's too late. We'll also have archers along the cliff tops. that can shoot down on them." "Why not have our archers continue firing down on them the entire stretch? That's miles of cliff ledge we could use to thin them out." Garrett asked retracing the path on the Albrael army was taking. "Because we don't want to give away our archers. The reason we've barely had our men harass them the past day was leading up to this moment. Most of all we don't want them to double back, leaving the kill zone we've set up." "Isn't there a chance they sent men to the top of the cliffs too though?" "We

Multiple days had passed in the City Of Darkness following the surrender/purge of any still resisting dissidents. And life had begun returning to normal little by little after the bodies were removed from the streets. Havoc's army had upheld their orders. Those who surrendered were allowed to return home without any recourse for fighting against their new host. Neither the members of The Black Guard, nor their militia counter parts caused any unnecessary damage, nor did they loot and pillage the city. Frankly apart from the angered nobles who's homes had been bombarded during the siege, the city was peaceful and upbeat. The stalls were open, any artisans were back to their crafts. The children ran and played in the now cleaned streets that had been soaked in blood not long ago. Guards were posted on every wall and street corner. Christopher and the other leaders involved weren't fools. Though they had been merciful, eventually there would be some who would try fighting back. They e

Just a little earlier"This is big! This is really big!" Brisia grinned ear to ear as she paced back and forth hardly able to contain her excitement. Her little walk even leading her up the walls and onto the ceiling dancing, and skipping, somehow defying gravity."Shit! Shit Shit!" Alesia growled through grit teeth. "I knew something was coming, but even I never imagined this!" Alesia's current mood was about as close to polar opposite of Brisia's as it could get. 'This is the last thing we need currently! If they find out, especially in the middle of this war, we're seriously fucked! Like fucked on the level I was when all the other gods betrayed me and had me cast from the heavens! Perhaps even more fucked!'"I still can't believe it! I mean I suppose when you look at his track record it would make sense, but holy shit!" Brisia exclaimed.

"E-Elise if you think you can do better, by all means t-take over!" He snapped back.Thunk! Thunk!"Well look Riggy.. I don't mean to be pushy... BUT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FUCKING KILL US!" Elise roared flapping her arms up and down like they were wings.Fwee!As though on cue an arrow zipped between their faces, mere millimeters from giving Mortis a nose piercing he didn't wish for....."S-See not that bad.."

Christopher walked to the giant hole in the wall he had created when trying to incinerate Markous looking out over the city breathing a heavy sigh, hanging his head low and shaking it. "What's wrong? At this rate the city is as good as yours? Shouldn't you be happy?" Brisia asked walking up the wall before hanging upside down looking out of the hole too. "See your people are already working on the third gate. Isn't this what you wished for?" "I'll admit.. I wasn't expecting to get that old bastard's approval, but this didn't pan out as I had hoped." He shrugged watching balls of fire rain down upon the noble district from the trebuchets outside the city. "Sooo you didn't want the city?" "Pftt I could give two shits less about the city. I wanted the power that dwelled down here. On that note I suppose you could say this was a success.

The girls quickly turned their backs to one another taken by surprise, readying themselves as best they could considering their injuries. Their eyes caught a glimpse of a creature emerging from the earth, and it was almost instant. The pair blinked and by the time their eyes opened the massive beings were already hovering well above their heads."You've got to be shitting me." Lala mumbled."If she could do this, It would've been nice of her to have done something sooner."

RAAAWR! A roar ripped through the caverns as the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. Many people from both sides of the battle looked around trying to find what kind of ferocious beast could emit such a blood curdling sound. "I haven't heard a roar like that in thousands of years." "I've never heard that kind ever!" Their eyes scanned the surroundings. Looking side to side, up around the cavern ceiling, only to find nothing. The monstrous sound was far to loud for anyone to mistakenly assume they had just imagined it. The rumbling earth began shaking harder and harder although you couldn't physically see any movement, the people could feel the movements underneath their feet from whatever was coming, like a slithering serpent snaking it's way through the grass. It felt as though the very earth beneath their feet may collapse at any moment.

This day and age when someone says an army they think professional soldiers, fighting and killing is their bread and butter, it's what they train for, it's what they're paid for. Their job consists of nothing besides honing those skills. Training and searching for a way to improve upon the ability to kill, to take the life of another human being. But there's times where an army consists of ordinary people, every day people. Bakers, smiths, teachers, sometimes even the students, people you who have never seen combat, mix these people in with some trained soldiers who're willing to advise and educate these people, and at times these armies can be just as dangerous as the professional ones. When you have a reason to fight, whether it's for a better life, to protect someone, to make a name, for your country, even if for a moment it places you at odds with it, you can become a force that's mighty. With no identifying uniform, the enemy will never know when they're about to strike. A man,
