The trio follow Aliya most of the way towards the fortress, once she took to the trees their paths divided. Knowing there may have been traps the boys were able to sense possible locations and took longer trails than needed to get around till they met one side of the fortress. From this angle they could see that there was two guards on the ground and three above, though the three rotated so only one was able to be seen most definite at a time.

ALiya managed to attract the attention of most of them so what was left was wait for a good opportunity whilst taking out what they could. The boys weren't exactly stealth experts but they were one of the Earth Fae so it would be easy to get close. Kindle had an idea and called Bius to the side. "While Aliya has the attention of that half we'll infiltrate on this side, toss me to the top of the fortress and I'll take care of those on top while you take out those two and any remain once we meet back up with her." The boys agreed and set up position.

Ter began walking out in the open, approaching the two on the ground and introducing himself. It was weird to talk with his twin but he managed. "Hey, I heard you guys are runnin' a big operation given us Earth Fae a bigger name 'round here, where can I sign up?" The slight distraction was enough for Bius to hold his older sister and launch her like a catapult towards the single visible guard on the roof.

Kindle winded her arm back for a punch, igniting her gauntlet in smoldering ash before landing a flying punch on the man, knocking him out quick and taking cover to avoid the other two from noticing. At this time she moved around and was able to spot the remaining while seeing a little blue figure distracting them. Bius had returned with Ter and the two continued the conversation that Ter had started. As soon as the guards were about to question why they looked similar, the two quickly bended the earth around them and brought down the large wall of the fortress, returning it back to the earth. The fortress stood with three remaining walls and Terbius began fighting the guards in a simple and fun grapple. At this time Aliya had raised her sword and Kindle stepped in to engage the other two roof guards.

The woman in charge spotted Kindle and back-stepped to allow the other guard with her to charge in while she cast an arte. She simply used hand gestures rather than words and invoked it by saying the name, “Air Pressure!” A gravity field weighed down on Kindle. She glanced around and noticed one of the walls was down and that Terbius was fighting the ground guards behind them. And one of her men on the wall with them was nowhere to be seen. She hissed bitterly as her plan was coming apart at the seams. “What are you two waiting for?! Kill her!” She snapped at the two below keeping her full attention back to the Fire Fae as her arte wore off.
They charged Aliya. She waited until they were close. She narrowly avoided their staffs crudely made from stone, she figured they made them behind her. She swung her sword at one who backed off immediately. The other she had elbowed hard and swung her fist back hitting his face and knocking him back into a tree. He slumped down and wasn't moving. She charged the other one swinging the sword wide breaking his staff. She let the sword go and while he was distracted, watching the sword as it flew upward, she threw a punch effectively knocking him out. She caught the sword and rest it on her shoulder with a smirk. “What a dull party…”
