Nova's attention went from Valken to the fiend as it's mace smashed into the face of Ruhdivar. It even had her tome within it's hands and this angered her beyond belief. As if Ruhdivar being struck wasn't enough. Fire circulated around her arm and hand as she powered up a fire spell. She rushed to the spot where it had been thrusting her hand up."Fire Arrow!!!" She yelled the flames escaping through the hole but not fast enough to clip the pit fiend. She then turned to look to Ruhdivar and she could already see that he was dead and she felt that her heart was in pain. Why couldn't this peace have lasted awhile?.... She then looked to Valken and nodded. "Do what you have to do to his body,.. yes go ahead eat him. Perhaps through him you will get the proteins enough to help us." She said/
Kyoto felt the rush of heat as those on the ground where pelted by the meteor swarm that the pit fiend cast. He noticed the blood on the mace and that from the hole in the guest house they were in that he had killed someone. At first he thought maybe he had killed Nova due to the tome in its hand. This angered Kyoto to the point he drew his blade and called upon his swords inner power. "Icingdeath,... Icicle Barrage!!!" He yelled as he swung his blade in the direction of Pitskreig sending thousands of icicles in it's direction.
Alduin collided into building almost caving in the roof with his weight. He then released his breathe weapon and was surprised by the effectiveness of the elven weapons. The arrows were sharp enough to pierce through his hide causing him to open a tear through dimensions in front of him so that he could jump through it. He then glided through his dimension as the tear closed. He then openned a tear from his side re entering the living world and breathed its fire once more down on those below.

Valken had no idea what they had seen until he heard Ruhdivar get hit in the face and a sudden presence came about. It took flight and Nova gave a roar in reaction. It was understandable and before he could fly off after it, Nova gathered herself up enough to tell him that he can eat Ruhdivar. Valken shook his head, " No time.." And he himself spread his wings and took off after the thing that attacked them. He was able to cover long distances with is portals and even increase his speed with them. In no time he appeared in front of the large demon, able to dodge his meteor attack. Valken landed to prevent the thing from be able to run any further and he spotted the tome on the ground where he had dropped it. it was simple to retrieve, so valken placed a small portal by his feet and another beside the book. All he needed to do was reach into the in put portal by his feet and get the book through the output portal, although now it was a matter of escaping with his life.

Pitzkrieg suddenly saw the demon known as Valken appear before him and was about to take back the tome that he came for. He growled at the demon and rose his mace up with both hands wanting to crush the life out of Valken. This would have worked if the shards from Kyoto's icicle attack did not suddenly smash into its chest and digging in sending him to stumble backwards. The demon dropped it arm holding the mace while the other held onto one of the shards. He was majorly wounded from the attacks. He then took a silver arrow to the back of his knee dropping him to a kneeling position. The fiend simply looked to Valken as it felt the horrible sting from the silver arrow. Fiends such as himself were weak against such things and it pained him greatly. He wanted nothing more to reach out and squeeze Valken's neck but it did not have the energy. "My brethren will succeed where I have failed." He said in deep breathes. His time was short and he did not know what he could do with what life he had left. All he did was let the next volleys of arrows hit him sending him to collapse onto the roof top.
All hell had broken loose and every elf had mobilized fighting the demon hordes the best the could but it was beginning to be rather futile. "Get the Queen and the Seers out of here, we will hold these vile monsters but not for long!!!!" Yelled one elf. While others now seeing the pit fiend dead concentrated on the large dragon. They saw that their arrows were hitting and continued their best. Ishmael saw Valken on top of the roof retrieve the stolen tome and smiled nodding to the demon. 'Nice work friend.' He then noticed several elves head for the main tree to help the Queen escape and he turned to face Valken once more. Not sure if he would hear him or not but yelled out anyways. "Get Nova out of here!!!!" He yelled. He then rushed over to the main tree to lend them his aid.
Cassandra watched as the dragon flew overhead and she sneered at it. She had to run back to the guest house if she was to re arm herself. She had a simply idea of what to do against it. She ran as hard as she could and moved to her room grabbing her belongings. Placing everything where it should go, the rapier at her right hip and the holster to her hand crossbow on her left side with the quiver hanging on its opposite. She then rushed back outside ignoring the fact that Jameson was still laying on the floor. Once she was outside she brought forth her crossbow making sure the bolt fitted to it was secured. The shadow of the giant monster flew over her as she did so causing her to look up. She then took aim and had to lead him for a bit and then fired her bolt. She had then cast Darkness on it so that when it hit a nice globe of pitch black would envelope its head. She just hoped it nailed it in the head some where and not on the body.
She then turned and saw a demon that she had not seen in her entire life. The demon was huge black, and had horns all about its body. Cornagun smirked as he felt the fear rush through her body. His aura made certain of that. He rose and thrust a hand in her direction causing a lightning bolt to launch its self out. She was able to dodge it though but felt her self launched from the explosion. He then proceeded inside and saw Jameson on the ground fainted. The elves within the room tried to stop it but with a great swing of its spike chain it sent them to the ground to join Ruhdivar in the afterlife. It saw Nova in the corner of its eye but it had some business to attend to. It's eyes turned to Jameson and it smirked. It reached down and grabbed the silver wolf and threw it upon its back impaling it on the spikes that poked from it. Jameson would then wake up to see the very things poking out from its stomach and chest. The horned devil the took flight smashing its body upwards just like the pit fiend but he was only doing it to cause more pain to the man. Cornugon then reached back around and pulled Jameson off rather violantly causing blood to spill all about him. He then threw Jameson down and swung with his spiked chain. The hit was enough to break the were wolf's spine as it bounced off the roof and into the street. Cornugon then flew at the damaged body of Jameson.
"You think this is enough to kill me? I am a....." Jameson was cut off with stomp on his chest and the horned demons might swing of his spiked chain which tore Jameson's face right off. With one more swing the great fiend was able to take the werewolf's head off. "No but ripping your head off might..." He laughed and then moved to where the head went lifting it up and placing it about its belt where a nice hook hung. "Barghest would be glad to see your head, plus I would gain me an ally in the long run." He laughed and then turned to see the paladin Ishmael running for the main tree. He flicked his nose with his thumb and came charging .
Eliphas made one good leap and with a flap of his wings to give him a boost he landed upon the top of the wall. The elves all fired their arrows at him but the real thing was much different then some illusion. The flaming body of the demon seemed to burn the arrows before they were able to deal a mighty blow. That did not stop one elf from drawing its long blade and charge at him. Eliphas responded with throwing up its arms and swinging his mighty claymore cleaving the elf in half. He then roared with laughter.
Aries quickly joined in with her own assault of arrows that burned into the targets they hit with deadly accuracy. Not a single arrow missed that she fired from her flaming composite bow. She was able to manuever as well while launching her shots at them. It was all she could do to prevent the arrows from dropping her down. She was a baatezu after all not Tenar'ri. Her kind were weak to silver and that gave Eliphas a edge against them. He had little weaknesses and was very feared.

Nova watched as Valken vanished through a portal and looked to the hole listening to what was going on as she heard the thud of the pit fiend hitting the roof she also heard a nice explosion as the front entrance to the guest house blew out. She looked to it seeing sparks fly as a horned devil walked within. He saw her but paid no attention to her. He instead attacked the elves within and the sleeping Jameson. She rushed out to try and help him but the fiend launched itself up and into the ceiling smashing through it. There was only one thing she could do and that was running outside to see if she could do anything. What she noticed first was Cassandra unconscious. She rushed over to her and checked her pulse. She looked around for the Horned devil and when she saw him he was finishing off Jameson. He then turned his attention to Ishmael. 'No, I will not allow more deaths.' She said and shot forward a storm of fire.
Hotaru and her father saw that a battle had begun and she heard a few elves running by with words of securing the boats. Her friends were likely helping the Queen escape so she decided to help secure the boats. She followed after those such elves with her father Ryung behind her. The enemy had come once more braking what peace they had. The fights had started to break onto the walls which would mean that at any given minute she would be putting her magic to the test.
Queen Emeraude was waiting within the halls of the great tree waiting for the seer council to be evacuated with her. "You, go retrieve the armor we have been holding for Nova, and be quick about it." She hollered. They were running out of time and all they could do was run. Her kin fought greatly to secure the walls but that was falling real fast.

Kyoto did not stop, when he saw the fiend fall to the ground. He then took notice of the horned devil and then the flames shooting about and ran out of the way out of fear of being roasted by Nova's attacks. He watched to see if they were doing anything to it. He was going to lend her a hand like he did Valken. He took upon a position with his sword rose up making a ninety degree angle with his arm. He then charged trusting in Nova's skill. His blade began to glimmer as the frost began to come into effect. When he got close enough he swung wide at the devil.
The bolt hit Alduin about a foot from his cheek bone. It made him look for its owner but it saw nothing but darkness. He feared it was a poisonous bolt that blinded him. That fear caused him to open a tear again and fly into it. This time he did not pop out. He landed within his plane of existence opening and closing his eyes. He was not enjoying this one bit.

Fenn had fled before the demons came. Well not really fled but she couldn't stay there so she camped herself a decent distance away. So she wasn't seen when the demons attacked but she saw them. She debated on whether or not she should go in though. One part of her, the witch who was cold to the world told her it was stupid and suicidal. That she wouldn't make a difference, not with how little she knew about magic. But then the other side argued that was she did know was combat magic and it was usefully in a fight. Ice and Fire were fighting magicks and will be useful in the fight.
"I hate knowing people." She muttered as she started making her way to the battle. Coming up from behind was not preferable in her opinion because when they turned she would be alone and plus she's in the direction of the arrows. She put on a charm that made her skin so cold that if someone were to touch her with bare skin, that particular bit of skin would get frostbitten.

Ishmael turned around as Cornugan came charging at him. He then saw the attacks sent its way. Nova's firestorm spell pelting the back of the demon causing it some pain. It turned to face her its spike chain at the ready but it did not prepare well for Kyoto's attack. All it could do was raise it's chain up to attempt a block but his chain snapped as the mans blade came at him. It left as wound on it chest that quickly healed. Kyoto's blade was not silver nor was it holy. It growled and swung at Kyoto but suddenly felt a great slam into his back that seemed to burn its flesh. The wound did not heal though and when he looked to see who did it. He found Ishmael there smoke coming from his blade. It growled at him but Ishmael answered it with another shot from his holy bolt spell. It looked as if it was a small white fireball but had holy characteristics. The blast hit the demon again but a little more to the right singeing its right wing off. That caused a scream as it reached for where it once was. It glanced at Ishmael and for the first time it felt fear.
Cornugan did not want to be banished to the 9 hells of Baatar again. No it refused such a prison. In it's fear it teleported like a coward. "Kyoto come with me to escort the Queen." He yelled. He then looked to Nova and saw Cassandra unconscious. "On second thought, help Nova get Cassandra out of here. I can handle any demons." He then turned around to head into the sacred tree which acted as the Queens keep but he saw something in his way, Eliphas the Destroyer. His blade dripping of blood from the elves he slew. Ishmael hoisted up his shield. Eliphas laughed at him and released his unholy aura which smashed against Ishmael's. "Your no ordinary paladin are you?" He asked and Ishmael responded by simply charging forward and leaping at the demon. His blade coming down towards Eliphas. Eliphas simply rose up his sword to block, causing Ishmael to slide down it, sparks flying about. Eliphas looked down at Ishmael. "What strength you have. But it is not enough!" He yelled and with great force sent Ishmael up into the air to come crashing down through the roof of Kylia's family's home. His weight crushing the dining table.
It did not take long for Eliphas to appear above the hole looking down on them his wings flapping. He then stopped and fell like a rock in attempt to crush Ishmael. But the paladin rolled backwards and out of the way. The great demon's knee smashing through the floor as well as crumbling more of the table. "Bull's Strength!" Ishmael yelled when he got back onto his feet and charged with his shield up. Eliphas brought up his claymore in time to cushion the blow but it forced him back up against the wall. He then held him with his shield arm so he could punch with his sword arm. "Holy bolt!" He yelled smacking the spell into Eliphas's gut point blank range. The blast sent them both busting through the wall to hit the ground on the other side. Eliphas countered with a smack of his great wing as Ishmael was ontop sending the paladin off of him. Eliphas climbed back up to his feet feeling his gut. "I think you might of broken a rib or two." He said to give the man false hope.
Aries continued to pelt the forces on the wall but she took notice to the enchanted fountains that held the demons on foot at bay. She spat at its effectiveness. "Forget climbing the walls use your spells to destroy the fountains!" She yelled but suddenly a arrow skimmed across her shoulder. The silver from its tip stung causing her to his. She looked for the elf responsible but found none on the walls she then looked up and saw a elf riding upon a Pegasus, Armed with a bow. She then took notice to more elves on the cursed wing beasts only they were doing to the ground forces and flying ones what she was doing to the elves on the wall. Some demons held there own though.

Kyoto listened to the words that Ishmael had spoken about him helping Cassandra. As the paladin voiced his orders he saw the demon Eliphas materialize behind him. When Ishmael turned around he readied himself for battle. Ishmael actually stood his own against the demon and that was mostly because of him being a paladin. From what he saw Eliphas do, he knew he couldn't stand a chance against him one on one. He nodded in their direction and turned to face Cassandra and Nova running over to them. Once he reached them he grabbed a hold of one of Cassandra's arms fling it over his shoulder and did the same to the other lifting her up. He then spent the next couple seconds positioning her and then looked to Nova. "I do not know the safest way out of here so perhaps you can lead me to it. We got to be quick and save as many as we can." He said as he turned his head to see Ishmael get swatted away by one of the demon's wings. "While Ishmael has Eliphas focus on him,..." He added.
Alduin re emerged from his dimension as the darkness wore off. He saw demons battling it out with elves on winged horses. 'Reinforcements?...' He thought as he flapped his wings. He decided to lend his allies some aid and flew off picking one target and proceeded to chase him. The elf kept firing it's arrows at him and he took the time to dodge them. One bounced off his hide though leaving a could niche in the plate. The arrows that had hit him before seemed to hit between the armor plates of his hide. They did not sting as much as they first had which made him thankful he was not a demon or devil. He smirked and sucked in some air and then let out a cone of fire from this mouth. He took in the smell of burnt flesh as he saw the Pegasus rider plummet to the ground. He laughed as he chased after another one. With his help the demons will once again have air superiority.

Nova witnessed the same event as Kyoto and she gulped as she watched the two fight it out. She then saw Kyoto run up to her and place Cassandra upon his back to carry her. He then told her to lead him to safety while Ishmael had Eliphas's attention and she nodded rising up to her feet. She then looked around to try and determine the perfect escape route. She could only think of one way and that was the boats. "Come we must get to the boats, I will lead the way follow me." She responded and then began her run she then took a right banking around the smithery, and kept her pace so that Kyoto could follow her. She then began to see the very building that would lead them to the boats. Luck would have it that it was not on fire. Then again not many of the buildings were as of now. "Just a little bit more!" She yelled and as they neared it she noticed Hotaru and her father Ryung at it helping those unable to fight into the boats. Mostly wounded elves that were able to escape. "Get her on board, once that is done we will wait for the others." She called out.
--------
Hotaru saw Nova and Kyoto coming from a distance and rose her hand up to signal them. "What's going on so far?!" She yelled to which Nova responded when she got to them. "Ishmael is battling the real Eliphas right now and is actually holding his own pretty well. His distraction helped us escape but the Queen has still not left her keep." She looked to Ryung and then back to Hotaru."How about you go and collect the Queen and the Seer council, we can take over from here." She said. Hotaru and Ryung simply nodded not wanting to argue.
"Alright we will do that, you be careful though." Said Hotaru and then she looked to her father. "Lets go and quick." Ryung nodded and wrapped his arms around Hotaru and suddenly they vanished. Ryung had simply teleported, reappearing at the steps of the great tree. He turned his head to see Ishmael and Eliphas and then back to the entrance of the great tree. He then grabbed Hotaru's hand and pulled her with him into the keep and saw the Queen standing in the center giving out orders. "Queen Emeraude tell us what we must do to hasten your escape" Ryung barked and the Queen turned to face him.
"The Seers are preparing to leave, you go down those stairs and help them arm themselves. Hotaru, you can stay with me incase the enemy finds its way inside." She ordered. Hotaru was not going to argue with her and moved to her side while Ryung moved to the stairs she had pointed to. He ran down them and found the Seers and elves helping them with their armor. They were doing alright so far but he decided to approach and help them. "Do not worry, the Queen sent me down here to help."

Valken was grateful that the beast was felled and now he was tasked with helping Nova escape. However a large presence rattled his brain and he stalled in his gait as his brain struggled to process the immense dark aura coming on it's way. Sure enough, the bastard himself showed up and began his attack against Ishamel. Valken located Nova to find that Cassandra was on Kyoto's back and that he seemed to take the reins for him. This opened up Valken's opportunities and he decided to assist Ishamael with Eliphas. Valken had the tome and so he opened a portal and tossed the book into the void. When this was all over, he'll be able to retrieve the book just as easily as he threw it in. He closed his portals and jumped off the roof, heading for Eliphas. Eliphas muttered that he may of had some broken bones and Valken raised his talons in front of his body as he dive bombed through the air.
"well I hope you don't mind if I try!" He said as he clamped his talons around Elipas' helm, landing on his head and opening his wingspan as far as it could go and gave a heave upward back into the air to try and take the helm with him so that he could open up a weak spot for Ishamael.

Eliphas felt his helmet get pulled off and as Valken did so a rush of heat will shoot up as flames replaced the helmet on top. Eliphas's face was not appealing to the eye. Ugly and grotesque and covered in flames. His flame body still in effect. He growled and stabbed his claymore into the ground and with a free hand he summoned a long flame whip that had four hooked ends to it. He then swung it the whip going right for Ishmael's throat. "No more games!.." He yelled. Ishmael rose his sword in attempt to block as well as moving his head back a little. The hooks only managed to scratch his face as they wrapped against his sword. Eliphas then tug on the whip pulling Ishmael towards him and when Ishmael got close to him the demon grabbed hold of the paladin and then they were gone. Vanished into thin air as the demon teleported them both far away from the reaches of help.
Silver the great dragon waited for the perfect moment watching Alduin to the best he could. He had to make a move and now was the best time as ever. He wished Jauffre was here with him but he would have to make do with his own strength. He charged out flapping his wings and took in a breathe of air and then exhaled a cone of fire towards the evil dragon in hopes of burning him.
Ishmael found himself in secluded spot somewhere nearby the mountains. Eliphas letting him go and tossed him aside. The demon dismissed the whip and began to pace around the knight. Ishmael held his sword closely not sure as to what the demon was planning. The demon was unarmed though, was he tempting him to attack and then surprise him with something he did not expect?.
"Are you not going to attack me holy soldier?.." He said to him and Ishmael snorted at the sounds of the demons voice. The demon had enough of playing around and was showing its true colors. It's helmet gone it had nothing to protect its helmet. Was it that confident in winning? Ishmael thrust his sword at Eliphas sending out another holy bolt. Eliphas simply teleported and countered with some Ishmael did not have the experience with. He was being lifted up but nothing it would seem. The demon was using telekinesis, and he was to soon feel a true meaning of pain as he rose up high and then thrown to the ground with such force it knocked the wind out of him. "Damn it...."
"Damn it indeed,.. I was playing with you at first and now I will unleash all of my power upon you." He said and moved a hand towards Ishmael and launched a fireball. The ball smacked into the ground beside Ishmael sending him flying into a tree. He felt a crack within his body as he knew that a few ribs had just been broken. The pain was nothing though. "Lay on hands!...." He yelled hitting his hand to the ground but before the spell could heal him. Eliphas countered with a spell that thwarted the healing. "Magic circle against good!" after this ishmael began to really worry now. He had underestimated the demon but he felt every moment only stalled Eliphas's judgement on his friends. Right now running was not a option and he would give Eliphas his all. Even if his death was soon to come. He looked up to see Eliphas right there two inches from him. The last thing he saw was a large black metal boot slam into his face the lights going out. Eliphas then began to laugh and reached down to grab the knight. He then began walking towards the large mountain.

Kyoto followed in behind of Nova as she took him to these boats she mentioned. When the got there they were greeted by Hotaru and her father Ryung. Nova explained the situation and what they should do and they agreed on it. He decided to move into the building and saw many of these such boats that wounded were being placed on. He moved in behind one of the lines and eventually climbed aboard a boat. She found a place where he could set Cassandra down and did so lightly. He tucked her in to the bed and then left her. He moved as quickly as he could to rejoin Nova outside and saw that things were not going better for them. Alduin had returned and began giving aid to the demons again but something happened that was a plus. Another dragon came in and he remembered it as Silver. The silver dragon that they had meet earlier. He watched as it gave chase to Alduin.
Alduin the great dragon felt the rush of heat at his backside and looked to see the silver dragon. Alduin simply halted his flight letting the silver dragon come within range and swung its large tail and rose up its large talon feet so as to cling to the dragons back when it passed over or under him.

Nova watched as the fight between the two dragons broke out. The evil one seemed to be no novice when it came to fighting though. She wished she could help but that was beyond her. Right now she needed to be focused on one thing and one thing only. Protecting the one exit they could take. She couldn't believe it that they where having to leave like this. Her people having to escape from their city. They greatly underestimated the evil that they seeked to destroy. As she watched the air battles she took notice of the winged horses and their riders. The elves were armored in such clothing that made them rather peculiar. She did not remember them as being part of their city.
The speed of which the seers getting ready for departure of the city had quickened sense Ryung's help. Each one had a bit of something with them. The things looked like armor pieces, which made him wonder what was so important about it. He wasn't going to pry though for it was none of his business. When everything was good he lead the way back up the stairs. For seers they seemed to see very well, perhaps they were so in tune with their surroundings that they could tell where they were going. As they rejoined Emeraude and Hotaru the main run back to the boats would begin. This meant that all eyes including those of demons would be on them. To kill the seers and the queen would be a big move for the demon hordes. They all looked to one another and then ran at full speed. Ryung was prepared to stop if and demons came between them.

Valken looked below his feet as he pulled the helmet off, he was barely able to get away without getting scorched as flames poured outward. When valken dropped the helm he was unable to locate Ishmael as eliphas had obviously teleported him to god knows where. There was no way valken could help him now, because he had no idea where he could be.
Valken huffed , he was rendered useless and so he turned to the commotion on the ground even if he knew there was a great fight in the air he figured they were fighting because of what was happening on the ground. He found nova and Kyoto through scent and landed near them. "What can I do? " he asked, "Ishmael is gone, I can't help him where ever he is. But I can move people across large distances. So long as they follow my instructions"

Ishmael
When Ishmael awoke he would find himself in a place he never thought he would be. In a dark room chained to a wall. His weapons stripped from him as well as his helmet and shield. They kept the rest of the armor on him though. He looked about the room trying to pinpoint where he might be and when he saw a demon walk in he figured it out right then. The demon was a dretch, nothing to fear but with him chained to a wall he wouldn't be a threat to it either. He sighed and looked to the floor and began to pray. He prayed that his god would get him out of this problem and hopefully soon.
Cassandra
Cassandra awoke in the bed and began to rise looking around. What she took note of was a elf woman cleaning a rag. She must had been knocked unconcious from the explosion that the fiend caused earlier. The battle was likely not over but she felt that she wouldn't be going anywhere right now. Her ears were still ringing it would seem and a head ache began to make things a bit worse as well. "Easy, easy,......" The woman said as Cassandra began to hold onto her head. "You will have to rest a bit longer it would seem. You look to be suffering from symptoms of a concussion." She said and Cassandra snorted.
"Great, just what I need at a time like this." She said and laid herself back. The elf then put the clean rag back on her forehead. Cassandra couldn't hear the fighting going on but she knew it still was. She only hoped that everyone could get out in time. She never thought they would be evacuating a elven city.
Silver
The Silver dragon grunted as the evil dragon Alduin whacked him with his tail as he stopped movement just so he could cling on to his back. He did not know what the evil dragon was going to do but the weight caused him to crash down onto the ground like a sack of potatoes. He turned his head around to try and breathe some fire at the great dragon.

Nova looked to Valken as he explained what had happened to Ishmael and if there was anything he could do. Nova thought of one thing and one thing only. She looked to the boats and then back to him. "The Queen, get the Queen and the Seers aboard the boats if you can. Once they are safe aboard we can leave this place." She said. She did not like the words coming out of her mouth. To abandon her home was beyond anything she thought of. She had to smile though figuring it was him who could at least bring their queen here and the Seers. With them safely aboard they can always rebuild.
Hotaru let fly her thousand pedals towards any demon that came near them as they ran out from the safety of the great tree. They needed to get the Queen and anyone else out that they could. Looks like the city of the elves would shortly become just like Lithium. A burning city of flesh and bone. She hated these demons with every bit of her soul. Yes she was part demon herself ,but she would never commit to such acts of blood shed. Father was much the same for it was him who created herself through her human mother. He must have felt greatly for her to have made such a bond. She only hoped mother made it alright.

Alduin saw what Silver was about to do and denied the dragon it's counter attack by biting down on his neck. What Alduin would do next is lock his jaw in place and then charged up his main breathe weapon. The one the fired a great beam of energy. He then released it point blank range.
Kyoto looked beyond Valken. What? What does he mean he can't help Ishmael where ever he is? Is the knight......gone? He thought. He looked over at Valken and nodded. "Bring back any of our other lost comrades as well." He said. He thought of Hotaru and her father as well as any other lost lambs that where engulfed by the chaos. "Yaimaru, protect and guide us all from this nightmare." He said to particularly no one.

Valken nodded but there was still vital information that he needed in order to accomplish his task. "But wait.." He looked to nova, "I need to know where the queen is first, once I have her location I can bring her to the boats in no time at all..I don't know the landscape of your city and if there are any signs of direction, unless the letters are in relief, I won't be able to read them.."

Silver felt a quick pain as Alduin bit down on its neck, what it did not expect though was for Alduin to release his energy breathe weapon at this close of a range. The blast was unavoidable and quite deadly and punched a hole right through his neck. Silver felt the life begin to leave his body, his aura faded into nothingness as his eyes rolled back. The silver dragon was done and gone but Alduin would not be safe yet as another dragon watched the scene. Jauffre watched in horror as he saw his friend give up his last breathe. In anger he took up his true form as a bronze dragon and gave charge releasing his breathe weapon wildly at Alduin in hopes to finish him off quickly.
Cassandra laid in the bed staring at the ceiling and then she looked to the elf woman. "How long will it be before we take off?" She asked and the elf woman rose a brow and when she understood what the dark elf meant she looked away. "When our Queen and the Seers board the ships then we will go. Those who remain will keep the demons at bay while we escape." She said. The woman did not really enjoy the words that came out of her mouth and Cassandra could understand why. "You have family here don't you?... it must be nice to have a family worth worrying about, or crying for when they are no longer there. It's something I envy about you surface elves. I can't think of a single family member of mine I would like to see again." She said.
The elf woman pushed back the tears and forced a smile. "Perhaps you will have one that is worth it in due time." She said and Cassandra snorted. "Sorry but I don't see that happening until this evil has been defeated." She then sighed. "I was hoping to have left this kind of life back in the underdark ,but it seems no matter where I go to escape the evil that I try so desperately to run from comes back and bites at my ankles." she said.
Ishmael watched the demon go about its business but the sound of heavy foot falls got his attention. When he looked to it he saw Eliphas once more and he glared at the demon. "Your evil will not last in this land demon, good will always triumph." He barked towards him and Eliphas laughed madly at his attempt to anger him.
"You foolish mortal,... thats what mommies and daddies always say to their children. However, it is a lie and you know it. Good doesn't always wins. Lithium and the elven city are a sign of that." He said. Eliphas stepped ever closer to Ishmael, step by step. Inch by inch, he came ever closer. Ishmael braced himself for the swing of the demons fist but recieved nothing of the such. Eliphas grabbed his chin and smiled. "You want to know something? I am not even a fraction of the evil that is threatening this world." He said and Ishmael looked the demon in the eye.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked to which Eliphas answered. "You will know soon enough. In a couple of minutes you will meet that evil.... for we finally found out how to release her from the mirror that bound her for sooo many years."
