[h3]Briggs Fortress[/h3]

"This'll certainly be an interesting stay. I just might take you up on the offer of some sparring matches with your soldiers."

The group then continued towards the fortress, the walls growing ever taller as they closed the distance to the gates. 

[h3]Arcadia[/h3]

The Nightmare Emperor was silent a moment before speaking once more.

"I will admit, I have never heard of these ABH before. I'd like to know more about them, but it seems you are needed elsewhere. I'll keep this meeting short, but first I'd like to offer my condolences for your citizens who were lost. I will not lie, I have personally committed mass genocide before, long ago, and I am horrified by it. I was not always a sane ruler of the Roa'marii Empire.  In our early history I went to great lengths to free us from oppression by an alien nation and lost my mind in the process. I have since gained it back, but not before doing a great many things I regret. If there is any way I can help your people let me know. The Roa'marii are committed to ending these great wars that wipe out entire civilizations. We will support you in your endevor to avenge your fallen planet. Besides, bonds formed between allies on the battlefield are often times the strongest. If you will allow it, a portion of the Roa'marii Battlefleet Beta will accompany you to assist in your war."

[h3]Dullahan Keep[/h3]

In an underground chamber of the keep where ancient stone pillars held up the ceiling of large tunnels, a great many wounded fairies had been layed down on various bedsheets across the chamber. A makeshift medical operation had been set up in the tunnel system, one of the few places in the keep that lacked an abundant amount of metal and the only such place with enough room to house the number of fairies brought in. Many of the fairies had begun to wake from unconsciousness over time, but they still suffered a number of injuries that left most of them incapacitated. In one corner, General Zer'icia Velkorn was mending to a bullet wound one of the fairies had suffered. This specific fairy still clutched a pot of gold in its hands and despite the efforts of a number of doctors would not release his grip. As the general mended to the fairy, his eyes slowly opened and a groan escaped his lips. Then, after a brief moment of confusion, he noticed the general standing above him.

Higher up in the Keep, the non fairy wounded were being treated. Roa'marii and xenos alike were layed in cots lining the walls of the medical wing. The Valkyrie had suffered heavy casualties attempting to rescue as many xenos as possible and those that were in the cots were generally missing at least one limb. The xenos were generally better off, few having sustained heavy injuries. Many had waken already and had received an explanation for what had happened and where they were. Those that were capable of work were helping to deliver care to the others of their species by providing much needed information on their physiologies. In one cot lay the Sakari Magus who had been saved by general Sta'falia. He too woke slowly, the overuse of his magic definitely taking a toll on his body. When he realized his situation, he began to panic slightly before flagging down a passing Roa'marii doctor.
