Pandora
Location: P14 > M18

It was quite hectic for Pandora, as she had to keep herself from getting dropped off the horse. It was difficult mostly because of Sami who's arms were running around wildly grabbing and, shoot arrows. Thankfully no one was hurt currently, and that she didn't have to jump off the mount and sprain her ankles to get to them. She looked up again to see Sami murder a Gargoyle viciously with one arrow. It splatted down to the ground rather painfully, but it already died due to Sami's well placed arrow.

While Pandora did receive the items Sami had given her, she still had space for at least two more items. Then Sami began to started to shout about dropping her off at the fort then screaming her head off about the Legion. Then it came to her solo monologue that she clearly wasn't suppose to hear. She tuned Sami out, because she was not into the battle feisty drama type monologues. Then she snapped back to reality, and nodded her had back to Sami.

Lloyd
Location Q17 to P14

Lloyd rested his body under a tree's shade for only several minutes. He was waiting for the others to catch up, since it seemed unintelligent to move alone with enemies present in all directions. Once several minutes passed, he left the forest in search of any fellow allies due to the danger of traveling alone. He remembered that his old man, his grandfather, told him, "It's dangerous to go alone, Lloyd. Take this," before handing Lloyd an iron sword. Those specific words from the past encouraged Lloyd to yet again bring about his sword.

While on the search for an ally, he managed to locate Kayo, who looked capable enough to watch over Lloyd's back. He headed towards her spot, and when he finally reached an easy distance to communicate, he asked her a question, "Hey, Kayo! It's getting kind of crazy out there, with all those demons and what not. Since we got enemies on all directions, I'm thinking it'd be beneficial for us to partner up? I'll watch your back and you watch mine, as our enemies advance. Does that sound like a plan?" He offered those words in a direct, talkative approach, as if he were trying to encourage Kayo to follow his demands, but in an informal manner. As he waited for her response, he gazed over the plains, composing himself for any potential battles.

A piercing sound ripped through the air, and Nayu lashed her head around to see the Legion soldier who was sitting upon her gryphon. Nayu noticed that the woman appeared worse for wear. Her armor was torn in places, leaving parts of her body exposed. Nayu began to feel disoriented, her ears ringing from the gryphon's wail. She looked toward her army, trying to focus on the events around her as her surroundings began to sway. The sounds of clashing could be heard loudly across the battlefield, and Nayu began to feel panicked as she realized that the monsters kept rising from the earth again and again, seemingly without ceasing.

"No...What will we do?" She thought to herself. She was surrounded by the enemy, and she knew that the Alliance would not be able to fend off the monsters forever. The Legion's army appeared to be suffering even more, and Nayu wondered if either army would win this war or if the monsters would take them first. Just then, her attention was suddenly deflected away from the gravity of her situation, as she heard a somber melody travel upon the winds. She looked around, trying to discern it's source. She noticed a man with tanned skin, moving his body in what Nayu found to be a surprisingly entrancing way.

An overwhelming sensation overtook her, and she began to feel that nothing else around her mattered in that moment. She looked toward the gryphon rider once more, and for some reason she had an irresistible desire to protect her. She spread her wings, before moving her body in front of the woman like a shield and bearing her fangs at the bonewalker next to her. "You fiend! I will not allow you to harm this woman!" She threatened the monster in her draconic voice.

S'Zura Felothi
"Dammit, things are starting to get out of hand." The Laguz's voice sounded distorted and ethereal in her primal form. Crimson hues flickered through the battlefield, already the monsters had backed both armies into a corner. A low snarl rumbled in S'Zura's throat, if things kept going the way they were both armies would be wiped out in short order.

She tried to move to a spot she could better assess the situation. More of these bastards were showing up on the battlefield. At this rate, they may be forced to retreat and make another attempt later on... Just the thought of retreat made her sick. They weren't cowards after all.

Ari Blomgren

Of course the Mauthe Dog would have been accompanied by others of its kind. As another of the large beasts rapidly closed in, Ari unsheathed his dagger and prepared to fend the creature off. Claws and teeth came down in snarling fury, and while the man was able to roll away from danger, he found that the Mauthe Dog was just as persistent as it was agile. It was only thanks to the familiar terrain that he was able to keep apace with the beast's movements: the forest trees offered him some cover and obstruction, allowing him precious seconds to catch his breath.

He would have to aim for the throat, he decided, in order to deliver the dog a quick death. While he was pondering just how to achieve this, he felt a chill crawl down his spine... Something else was watching. He peered around the tree for any sign of the Mauthe Dog, but was met with only silence. Neither hide nor hair of the animal could be seen. Strange.

Why was it getting so cold? Ari shivered and felt a pang of alarm at the way his breaths misted in the air. This wasn't normal. His scalp crawled and the hairs of his neck rose as something told him that there was something above. Gripping his dagger tightly in his fist, he slowly looked up.

A massive eye stared back. Ari's instincts screamed for him to haul himself out of there, and he had just darted out from under the tree before the spot was hit by a blast of freezing air. In the face of this new threat, the Mauthe Dog was all but forgotten. Ari raised his bow and arrow in preparation to shoot the eye down, but the creature didn't seem interested in him.

The archer followed the eyeball further down the battle field out of curiosity, his hearing peaked for any other irregularities. Upon realizing that it had gone to join the vortex of monstrosities currently beset on others of the Legion, he decided it was time to do his part. A large, floating eyeball... it was unnatural, horrid.

This time, Dali wouldn't miss her mark. Taking in a deep and ragged breath, Dali unleashed two powerful torrents of her light breath upon the nearby zombie. The walking corpse managed to remaining standing after the first blow, but was unable to withstand the second, disintegrating as Dali's Light breath disappeared. Dali let out a satisfied grunt, but didn't allow herself to cherish the momentary victory. Monsters were all over, and her allies may not be able to withstand their attacks.

The Alliance was going to... ignore them? In favor of helping them out against the monsters? This was far too perfect of a situation. Afi was certain that there had to be a catch; no way could they be that lucky. Still, he had heard the shout of that archer lady, and she truly sounded sincere. Unsure of how to react, Afi glanced around at his comrades. Everyone seemed to be turning their attention on the many monsters. Should he join them, then? He really didn't want to go near those monsters, but... there were so many. They'd have to be dealt with somehow. Even though he was annoyed at the idea that he might actually have to put in the effort to fight them, Afi heaved a sigh and moved vaguely in the direction of the monsters, still remaining at a slight distance.

❆ Veilvel Maria Ealisaid ❆

❆ Location: Skies above Fort Castellum
❆ With: Some crazy idiot girl, Gargoyle-Chan (may you burn in Hell), and soldiers of the Alliance--!!?
Red, the Blood of Angry Men

Veilvel's "fight" with the Gargoyle continued...though he wondered if one could really call it a fight when all he was doing was trying not to get killed. He had bigger fish on his mind...more specifically, the threatening piranha of the Alliance, which had finally just had its members reach the fort. He was getting tired of all these distractions.

Chief of which being the little girl he had picked up in the midst of the Gargoyle's fire. After his failed attempt to protect her by getting rid of the beast, he had half a mind to leave her to her fate. Sooner or later she would have to learn that believing in a mystical entity was not enough to survive in the world. But Calfuray had practically forced his hand, landing beside the girl as he wove between the Gargoyle's shafts, leaving Veil with little choice but to grab her arm and pull her on.

At least she wasn't currently adding to his sense of frustration as he tried to lose his pursuer. He half expected her to continue her babbling, but instead she had merely thanked him and had sat quietly ever since. Almost...too quiet. It was a bit unnerving the way that every time he turned behind him he met her wide, staring eyes.

Of course, this didn't help with his blindspot.

It was only a matter of time, given the Gargoyle's relentless pursuit. Veilvel felt the arrow sink into his side long before he had whirled around to catch the action, his gold eye locking with the lifeless carvings on his attacker's face. There was a strange expression etched there, almost as if the monster was grinning.
Still, he couldn't help the uncanny feeling that, somehow, through the streams of destiny, he had avoided an even worse fate.

Angrier at himself than at the circumstances, the Wyvern Rider was able to keep a cool head despite the pain flowing through all nerves in his frail body towards the soft patch where the arrow had struck. Somehow the damned beast had managed to pierce a chink in his scaled armor. It was a question of luck, he decided, not skill. Though he silently promised his axe that it would find blood before he lost any more of it.

Despite knowing the mess that would follow, Veilvel was worried enough about possible effects of the arrow tip to not want it sitting in him, and so, with barely a grunt, he pulled it painfully from his body, snapping the cursed thing to let it fall the countless feet into the fog, in a way mirroring the blood now beginning to spill from the opened wound, staining his white mantle red. Blood was such a pain to get out of fur, too.

But he had fight in him yet. The moment of battle with the Alliance was drawing near; it pained him to see a great Manakete amongst their ranks, a betrayer of her own kind, drawing her wings against the other fliers. More were approaching from the east. He registered an archer riding a red stag, as he had heard was the way of Komodo, swiftly passing the fort to draw ever-nearer. He had let the Gargoyle distract him for far too long-- Damnit it all! Taking one arrow was hard enough. If Calfuray was hit, or one of his more vital regions...he didn't think he would survive---

But then, for the man who didn't believe in miracles, one occurred.

❀ Naira Regenbogen ❀

❀ Location: Just outside Fort Castellum
❀ With: Scary Man, Really Tall Flirty Guy, Mysterious Deer Riding Savior #2!, Nice-Looking Dragon Lady
Where dreams come true

Naira had never dreamed she'd get to ride atop a wyvern! Perhaps the scary man wasn't so scary after all, since he had tried to help her befriend the Gargoyle by offering her a lift. Honestly she had pretty much all but forgotten their small fight, though a lingering sense of needing to defend her Good Lady Naga persisted.

While originally she figured she could talk to the Gargoyle better from the air, it didn't take too long for her excitement over actually flying to wipe away all thoughts of the critter for the moment. In fact she was too excited to say anything, merely occupying herself with trying to capture the biting wind as the dragon writhed through the clouds, the sensation of the surprisingly smooth scales subtly shifting under her skin, and the occasional scratch of the thick fur mantle of the scary man as it billowed before her.

Pipa, too, seemed to be doing his part to make the wondrous moment last forever, nestled safely between the two riders, keeping watch over the air battle with his pudgy round eyes.

However, every dream eventually comes to an end. In this case, reality returned full force as soon as the scary man got hit. A flash of panic ran through Naira as she quickly tried to fumble her staves to assist him. She wanted to give him advice, to tell him not to pull out the arrow shaft, to instruct how to properly dress the wound so that the magic could heal it better, to gently dab on the pre-spell salves-- but as sure as she was of her craft, she was a bit afraid he would yell at her again, and before she could get out so much as a squeak the man had already flung the arrow from his body to the ground. Well, so much for that. She was going to try and help him clean the mess anyway when the dream began again.

It started with a curse. The scary man's focus had left his pain to light on a small crimson figure darting through the chaos below, towards them. Naira's eyes widened as the distance was closed and she could see what the figure was.

A Komodan deer rider.

For a heartbeat her whole body froze as she thought that it was the same man who had saved her from the Entrance, the man whose name she had never gotten, who had disappeared to join the Alliance as soon as he had left her at the safety of the border.

But no...of course it couldn't be him, that was silly. Instead it was a fierce looking woman dressed in a...very interesting manner. That couldn't possibly be traditional Komodan wear, could it? As an expert on all things Komodan, Naira felt like she would know. But the Shrine Maiden was too distracted by the woman's determined face to question it for long, and, even more pressing, the arrow she was notching into her large bow.

No...no no no!

It was happening all over again. She could practically see the scene playing before her eyes. The scary man had noticed the arrow too late, the wyvern wouldn't be able to escape. The three of them would fall from the sky. It was too high to try and shout down...to try and stop the woman. To merely ask, why. Why did they have to fight? Why must they hurt Naga so? Why couldn't they be friends...?

There was nothing she could do.

But just as Naira's heart frosted over and she closed her eyes, preparing for the worst, she heard a strange and horrible cry come from ahead. And then...instead of the feeling of hurtling to her death, the girl felt......nothing.

She dared to peak, partially opening one eye. It was almost as if time was moving in slow motion. The thick body of the Gargoyle which had been pursuing them for so long was falling from the sky, as if finally dragged down by gravity at last laying claims to the stone its body was made from.

With an expression of shock turning to joy, even Naira's scattered brain was able to piece together the events.

The soldier from the Alliance had saved them

Unable to control herself, she threw her arms around the scary man, screaming with delight.

"We-We can work together! I knew it! Naga doesn't want us to fight! We--"

But it seemed as if her escort had finally had enough. Particularly because the girl's sudden embrace had done nothing to help the pain in his arm and the blood oozing from his wound.

The rider brought his mount down, practically ordering the girl to get off, but Naira hardly paid his snippish tone any mind. Instead (after neatly curtseying to thank the man for his help), she immediately reached into Pipa, throwing around some extra items she had stored in there to the nearest person since the plush was getting rather lumpy-- eventually bringing out another of her treasured idols. She noticed that there were a lot of her teammates around her now. She wanted to celebrate. To reach out to Naga to thank her. And she wanted to share with everyone the good news!

Meanwhile Veilvel was left with a more practical task. He now found himself standing before the great Wind Dragon, though if there was any reserve or pity over the Manakete's choices in his mind, he didn't let it reach his face. The dragon was staring strangely at the Maltian flier, causing Veil to briefly wondered what had transpired on the ground. One last time he looked back to where his own Commander stood. He had heard her shouts as he had landed, and despite his lingering reservations about her ability to lead, he was working too furiously to piece together the sudden turn of events to question her orders.

"Am I to understand you are the Commander of these forces?" he adressed the Manakete, gesturing towards the Alliance gathering behind her, closing in. Too close. "Our own Commander, the Panther Laguz S`Zura, has taken notice of your efforts to give us aid. We demand to know the meaning of these actions. Is this your way of saying we should work together to dispel of these monsters?"

Whimsey

Huddled in between a crowd of her fellow Legionaries, it was a bit odd to her with how she was used in battle. The battle wasn't even over, yet she was a beacon. People came to her for the magic of her music, then dispersed with their newfound boosts. To be fair, she didn't mind. It at least meant she'd stay protected pretty well.

After a while, she noticed two Alliance members coming from her 2 and her 4 o' clock sides. Bracing for a moment, she found it odd that they weren't attacking. Though, putting 2 and 2 together, both with their presence, and that of the monsters, it was clear they had a truce. At least for now. Despite the earlier threat of almost turning into a pincushion, she had no issues with the matter. Even if she did, it's not like she could do much about it.

"Alright, everyone!" She shouted out, drumsticks in hand. She never truly understood how her music did such strange things to people, but it was sure helpful. Drumming out a familiar tune to her, a warm orange glow enveloped her nearby allies. "Let's roll!"

Charme

Affected by Whimsey's magic, Charme did what he does best and charged ahead, spear by his side. After a short march back the way the Legion had came, he weaved through some trees, ending up a moment later behind a Knight. He didn't know who it was, though immediately noticed it was a girl. Glancing at a Javelin she had on her, Charme's eyes lit up with an idea.

"Hey, pass me that!" He said with a chuckle, more or less taking the javelin from her. "Trust me, I've got a killer arm." With that, he took a gentle step back, planting his feet, as he let the javelin loose.

It dug deep into the dog's torso, impaling him. It let out a soft whimper and fell.

"Hah!" Charme gloated to the Knight at his side. "What'd I tell ya?"

"Bastards just won't give up," S'Zura's tail flicked in annoyance as she commented on the situation to no one in particular. Though Mazelle and Reva could no doubt hear her voice. A low growl rumbled in the Panther's throat, she was growing tired of this game of retreating like some cowardly milksop. With a snarl she circled around, pushing past Charme before lunging for the pile of bones that had shambled its way over to them.

Claws and fangs hit home, though there was no flesh for them to rend. It was a strange feeling, attacking just bone. Lunging again she struck at its back. "Tch, damn." It hadn't fallen, but it was clear her strikes had at least done some damage.

Ari Blomgren

If the archer could liken the sight of a dying Mogall to anything, it would be that of a split water skein -- blood and eyeball jelly spilling everywhere, though the creature didn't quite burst. Ari wrinkled his nose in disgust. Horrid, unnatural creatures, he thought again. He wasn't sure if it would be best to continue targeting the monstrosities or if he preferred to be spared the sight of another grisly death.

He glanced over to the regrouping members of the Legion to assess their situation. Most of them seemed fine, save for a battered squire who hung back in the trees. Not much of a surprise there. The knight appeared to be, once again, fending off a Mauthe Dog -- likely the one had managed to escape back there.

Grimly, Ari prepared to send this creature to join its brethren, but a spear hurtling towards the dog declared him to be a second late. His head snapped up and he shot the culprit a glare, but the redhead was likely too busy gloating over the body to spare him any thought.

The unpleasant oppressiveness that often beset him was returning again... Back in Malth, it had been when his contractors all but forced him to attend so-called celebrations of his victories, or when fans crowded around him after a match. In the Legion camp, it was when people milled about in the mess hall, or when a so-called acquaintance greeted him with overfamiliarity. Swathed in layers and layers of the unfamiliar scents and sounds of strangers, he found it difficult to breathe.

The appearance of another one of the hated eyeball creatures was a welcome diversion from such recollections. With an eager eye, Ari measured the distance and swapped his preferred weapon for his longbow before swiftly delivering an arrow to his target.

S'Zura gives a low snarl at the approaching gargoyle, though she eyed its weapon warily. Its weapon was known for felling her kind, it wasn't something to be taken lightly. Though as the creature charged her, it was quickly apparent a fight was going to be inevitable. Baring her fangs she lunged, the laguz's eyes widening in shock as her claws failed to rend the monster's flesh.

A flash of movement, searing pain bit into her side as she tumbled across the grass. Crimson quickly stained her snow white coat as blood flowed freely from the wound. She didn't need to look at it to know it was bad. The gargoyle lunged for her again, not giving the Panther the time to recover enough to dodge. The resulting wound would likely be fatal.

To die without so much as bringing down a single foe...

What a poor excuse for a Commander, to say nothing of her Laguz blood.

A clang cut through the air as a lance parried the incoming blow with practiced ease. Charme...?" S'Zura found herself already shifting back to her more human form, a hand pressed to the wound as she studied the lancer. The earth groaned as more monsters began to emerge. "I'll have to give you a more proper thank you later," She looked to Ari and then back at Dali, "The fort's our best chance, head that way!"

Fumbling through a pouch, she withdrew a vulnerary and downed its contents. Disgusting as ever, but it worked to slow the bleeding considerably. With a more steady gait, she began advancing towards the fort's entrance, not failing to notice the gathering of both armies near its doors.

Having recovered from the dancer's trance, Nayu looked around wildly as she tried to assess the Alliance's current situation. Just as Nayu had feared, the monsters were continuing to overwhelm both armies. Nayu noticed that a portion of the Alliance soldiers were fighting alongside the members of The Legion, without her orders to do so. She turned to look at the woman on the gryphon mount, who she had been enamored with only a few moments earlier. Although the spell had worn off, Nayu discovered that she had no desire to attack the woman, despite the fact that she was her enemy. With the monsters closing in on them from both sides, she decided that perhaps a truce was necessary if either army was to survive.

Nayu spotted a Legion soldier as he approached her, and she bent her large scaled head down to his level as her blue eyes met his. He demanded to know the reason for the Alliance's sudden cooperation, and at first Nayu wasn't sure what to say. She had not given her soldiers the command to assist the Legion. However, after surveying the battlefield it was very apparent that the two armies needed to collaborate if they had any chances of destroying the monsters. If ensuring the safety of her troops meant forming an alliance with The Legion, then as The Alliance of Fire's commander, Nayu knew that was what she had to do. She wondered who this man was that had come to deliver The Legion commander's message, but regardless of who he was, Nayu decided that she would have to speak to The Legion's leader, herself.

"You say that your leader wants to know the meaning of our actions? I must speak to her. As the commander of The Alliance of Fire, I do believe it is in our best interests to cooperate. I must know if she intends for our armies to form a truce against these monsters. For now, we will have to do what we can to ensure victory. If that means assisting each other, then so be it." She informed the man.

With that, Nayu turned her attention back to the battlefield, as the man walked away. She spotted The Legion's commander nearby, and she appeared to be in bad shape. Nayu decided that the two of them would have to wait to speak to each other at another time. Right now her main focus was helping her comrades. A loud shriek tore through the air from the direction of the gryphon rider and her mount, in an effort to rally her allies. The steady beat from The Legion's war drummer fell upon Nayu's ears, and the increase in power from her newfound teammates only served to increase Nayu's urge to rip the monsters to shreds, and she had to make sure to keep her mind focused to prevent herself from losing control to her draconic instincts.

Nayu lifted herself into the air once more, before flying back into the midst of her army. She landed close to Zane, gazing in the other Manakete's direction as she spoke to him. "Zane, I require your assistance. The two of us together should make quick work of these creatures." She told him. A loud roar then proceeded to escape from her throat, as she attempted to further bolster her army's morale. "Come, everyone! We will not stand down! Together our armies will destroy these creatures!" It was time that The Alliance of Fire tipped the scales on these beasts, and with The Legion's assistance, they were sure to prevail.

Pandora ungracefully hopped down the deer. It made her stumble for a few moments, before regaining her movement. The landing made her legs feel wobbly, and she needed some time. Why did she jump off the deer? She had no idea. At least her comrades were covering her, so there shouldn't be anything attacking her for now.

Ah, yes. It was this false sense of camaraderie that was bothering him. How nice of the red-haired man to save their commander from an untimely death after so courageously killing that demonic hell hound. How charming. He shivered and gagged slightly on the bitterness that rose in his throat. Well, it would be a waste of time to think too much on the demerits of the man, though a few choice words came readily: flashy, show-off.

Silently, he sent up a prayer for the deceased Mauthe Dog. Perhaps, before the Monolith had arrived to corrupt the land, the animal had lived an innocent life. As for these other monstrosities, he did not know if they were truly demons of another world, but most did not resemble any earthly living creature he had seen. It wouldn't be wrongful of him to kill them without giving their bodies the due respect. Especially those eyeball creatures.

His calm restored once again, he tracked the numerous creatures gathering in the skies and noted the ones that would be close enough to target. Unknowingly, the place had truly become a battlefield as the clang of steel and the cries of Legion, Alliance, and monsters alike filled the air. Rather than the brutal pitting of countrymen against countryman however, it seemed that most of the soldiers were having too much trouble with the Monolith's spawn to even muster up enough focus to kill each other.

"The fort's our best chance, head that way!"

Ari spared S’Zura's bloodied form a glance and sniffed, but headed towards the fort without complaint. That hulking beast that was currently following them would probably be a hindrance though -- it would be best to get rid of it quickly. Though he'd never shot at a flying gargoyle before (he was much more used to seeing them jut out from buildings) the principle of it was probably the same: after a while, the rhythmic beating of its wings and the up-and-down nature of its flight patterns made them rather easy targets.

Afi was feeling incredibly indecisive. Sure, he had meant to go help out against the monsters, but... wow there were a lot of them. And they just kept coming. From what he could tell, their numbers had more or less doubled as he stood and watched from the cover of a small patch of trees, peering past the leaves. The creatures just kept emerging, the air seeming to grow heavier with each and every one that reared its ugly head. His already fragile resolve to put in the effort to chase down the monsters was rapidly dissipating with each second that he stood watching the bloody conflict in front of him. What was he to do? Did he continue with his tentative plan to throw himself into the fray, or retreat towards to fortress? He glanced to his comrades, trying to gauge from their actions what he should do.

In the end, the decision wasn't actually that challenging. From what he could see and hear, the Commander herself had suggested pulling back to the fort. Who was he to ignore what he was told to do? The solid stone walls of the looming building looked far more enticing than the chaos that was taking place outside of it anyways. Afi was certainly no expert on tactics, simple dancer that he was, but it seemed pretty certain to him that they would do better inside than out.

With that decided, Afi slipped out of the protection of the thicket and made his way over to the cluster of people standing in front of the fort's gates, eyeing the manakete who was apparently the leader of the Alliance cautiously. He still wasn't too sure about this whole non-aggression thing and didn't trust her, and besides that, there was the matter of what he did to her earlier. As he saw it, there was no way that she wouldn't be annoyed about it. Deciding that he'd rather not chance being torn to shreds by an angry dragon, he stopped himself just shy of being within claw's reach. Still, he thought he'd say something to her about it just to clear the air. "Ah, sorry about that little enchantment earlier! I do hope you're not too angry about it," he told her with a nervous smile.
