[IC] Fall of Vedrus

[SaikaAnge]

Crim took a moment to register what he had said. "Please be safe. Ritland needs its King. No dying on me." she said as she hugged him. "The little ones will target people. Seralth and Big Fella will burn a path to the keep for us. I'll take the archers to the dragons just before nightfall." Crim said then went to walk off back towards camp. She had to get the sickness out of her system, and away from Leo. He couldn't know.

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo went back to his tent and suited up. He put on his cuirass, his greaves, and his gauntles before picking up his helmet, which was in the shape of a wolfs head with dragons wings. He strapped his sword on and walked outside, waiting for the sun to go down.

Elora sat against the edge of the wall and waited for the army to attack but they didn't. They stayed where they were. In her confusion she looked over the wall. As she looked a bright light caught her attention. The dragon woman, she has a light aura. Strangely it was brighter than the last time Elora had seen it.

"That is strange. The dragon woman, her aura is stronger." she got Deamiel's attention and he stood next to her looking at Crim. His interest was peeked.

"She is not a mere elf. She has company within her." he said in a calm voice. Elora was caught off guard and surprised. "So she is carrying huh?" she smiled a bit. If she could get her hands on the child, she could seriously corrupt her intentions and actions.

[SaikaAnge]

Just as the sun was beginning to set Crim ran into Rosline and Alexnader. "Evening," she said with a smile. She was glad to see a familiar face in a see of people.

"Milady," Roz greeted. She curtsied and smiled back at Crim. "Going to rally your troops?" she asked.

"Actually yes, I am. I hope you two luck on the field of battle and hope we all come out safely." Crim said as she turned to finish calling her archers. When she got them all she took them to the dragons and told them what they would be doing. Still worried about Leo, she was a bit unfocused.

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo looked at the burning city. There was no stopping the Goldenblade victory now. The gates were crumbled ash, no need for a ram. Leo rode in circles, his purple cloak, billowing about him. He listened to the glorious sounds of burning Ironbanes, and those who tried to flee, getting cut down by the surrounding army.

[jaybreezy]

Alexander's assault team charged in with Alexander, killing off anyone hiding or surviving. Alexander saw cowering enemies trying to surrender, only to meet the fate of Alexander's sword. He smiled deviously, looking around to see the destruction. "Men! Look around you! This is what happens to Ironbanes and their supporters!" Alexander yelled, executing a few Ironbanes as he spoke. His squad let out a loud war cry, most of his squad young boys picking up swords for the first time.

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo felt no need in prolonging the battle. He drew his sword, raised it above his head and screamed, "Goldenblades! People of Ritland! End this slaughter! CHARGE!" he pointed his blade towards the city and spurred his horse forward at full gallop, cutting down Ironbanes as he went. The vampire was his goal and so to the keep he rode.

[SaikaAnge]

Crim fired arrows down as she ordered her archers to rain hell upon the Ironbanes below. Many of their own archers start to shoot up at them. One arrow narrowly missing Crim. Causing her to lose her balance and fall off the side of the big dragon. As she fell she saw Seralth and whistled. Crim turned herself and landed on the dragon. Standing back up she pat the dragon on the neck. "Thanks girl." She said as she shot arrows back down at the archers, killing most of them.

Looking down at the carnage she saw Leo riding in. "Seralth, down." she said as she used her last arrow. Pulling out her sword she hopped off the back of her dragon and ran beside everyone slicing down Ironbanes as she did so. "Leo!" she yelled out as he passed her. "I'm out of arrows!" she said as she killed two more soldiers.

[N3vr3ndinBordom]

Elora smiled at the fire burning to city to ashes. "That's right, come to the keep." she said manically. Elora flew to the church and released the children amongst the soldiers they were killing. Then she and Deamiel waited for them at the keep, ready to fight.
"Come here priestess."

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo rode over to Crim and helped her onto his horse. "We ride for the keep." He spurred his horse forward and galloped, winding through the streets, and beheading a few soldiers as he went.

[N3vr3ndinBordom]

Elora watched as the children ran for the soldiers to take them to safety. Taking out her bow she shot an arrow through one right in front of the two elves riding her way. Her grin grew when she watched Crim come to tears and look away quickly. "That's what I thought. Kill the children." she ordered the soldiers. The Ironbanes that were still alive started to turn on the child and round them up for execution. "Let's see how she deals with watching them die." Elora enjoyed watching the carnage from the railing of the keep balcony.

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo raised his hand and shot a ward around the children, which also erupted in flames on the outside, so no one could touch it. He spurred his horse forward again and continued on to the keep.

[SaikaAnge]

Crim cringed as tears ran down her cheeks. She hide her face behind Leo so she didn't have to see it. "Leo..." she muttered.

Rosline quickly rode after the Ironbanes taking the children away and decapitated one. Launching herself off her horse and landing blade first into another. "Evil bastards!" she yelled out as she fought the rest of them. As she fought one came up and stabbed her in her stomach. She yelled out in pain and sliced through his own stomach, causing his guts to fall out in a gushing mess. "Alexander!" she called out as she held her stomach and kept fighting.

[jaybreezy]

Alexander angrily rushed to Ironbanes, sadistically maiming them. He violently removed limbs from executed enemies, continued to stab and slash downed opponents, and relentlessly reduced all in his way into chopped up pieces of meat. Blood splattered across his face, armor, and sword, a fire of pure hatred in his eyes.

[SaikaAnge]

Rosline continued to fight the ones that came fore her and Alexander. "Almost thought you were sleeping." she coughed up a bit of blood but smiled. She was glad he was there with her.

Crim's anger grew as her friend got injured. "That bitch is dying now." she growled out as Seralth flew over and picked her up. Crim climbed onto her back and flew as fast as she could toward the keep, crashing onto the balcony with a loud thud. Crim was full of anger and hate and was standing right in front of the woman that caused it. Seralth growled and roared at the two dark beings, puffing out little sparks as she did. "You just made a huge mistake." Crim growled out as she swung her sword at the vampire with more speed and strength than she had ever used before. Her eyes turned silver and started to glow a bit with the mass amount of energy surging through her body.

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo rode into the keep, hopped off his horse and began making his way to where Crim was, cutting down Ironbane's as he went.

[jaybreezy]

Alexander went more defensive, standing in front of Rosline. He grabbed a shield, blocking a few arrows that flew to them. He gently applied pressure to her wound, trying desperately to keep her from bleeding out. "Stay with me! Don't die on me!" Alexander yelled, arrows still flying, both inaccurate and sloppily shot.

[N3vr3ndinBordom]

Elora smiled and unsheathed her shortsword in time to block the strike. "Oh, did I upset you? Shame." she smiled more as they fought. They exchanged trying to strike the other, but without fail they both were able to block causing sparks to fly as the metal clashed.

"Deamiel, guard the prince." Elora called back. He nodded then left the room, closing the doors behind him, to go guard their demon prince that hadn't left yet. "You are strong. Very strong. But your mind is weak, that child ruins you. Leave them to me and I will make them great." she said in a struggled voice.

[RangerOfTheRit]

Leo burst into the room, his sword and armor covered in blood, his cloak in tatters. "Time to die, hellbitch." he said as he removed his helmet and cast it to the ground.

[SaikaAnge]

"Don't plan on dying today." Rosline managed out. She was starting to feel the pain everywhere. It was almost too immense for her to keep standing. "To the keep?" she smiled a bit at him. She knew it wasn't time to joke, but she was doing what she could do to keep him from freaking out too much. She dropped to her knees and winced at the pain. Dropping her sword she tore a piece of Ironbane cloth off one of the bodies and tied it around her wound to work as a makeshift bandage for now.

Crim's anger grew at the thought of giving her child up to this vampire. "Shut up!" she shouted as she pushed harder with each strike. Landing none of her own strikes. She made sure to block all of the vampire's as she tried them. But she landed a kick to Crim's side causing her to fall to the side and start coughing. "You will have to take them over my dead body!" Crim shouted as she got up and charged Elora.
