THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

As the battering ram came closer Fenna ordered to fire. Enchanted arrows weren' t needed, every arrow was dipped in oil and then in lit with torches. After the order the archers knew what to do, so Fenna took her bow, her spear resting on her back with the tip sticking out over her shoulder. The moment the first of them entered the wall she would drop her bow and start stabbing. For now, she joined the archers. Unlike the others, who shot arrows as fast as they could, Fenna aimed and took a moment to concentrate, breathed in and out and her target seemed to get bigger. She released when she felt she couldn't miss and an orc dropped dead. Next target, concentrate, release.

"RIGHT WING, FOCUS FIRE THE DARK ELVEN SCREAMERS!"

Fenna turned to look. "Archers! Focus fire on the screamers!" She ordered, turning her own bow and concentrated on the first target. Sil stayed behind her, sitting on the edge of one of the arrow crates. When someone approached she put her beak in and pulled out some arrows to hand to a soldier who came for ammunition to pass around. They always took what Sil offered, thanking her for her aid, but grabbed another handful as well.

Fenna didn't want to count; as long as there were arrows and the distance was great enough, they would continue firing. The Screamers died by the dozens, giving tribute to their named with their high-pitched battle cries as they rushed forwards and their screams of pain and death when they were pierced by arrows. Their armour was practically non-existing. Fenna briefly wondered if the enemy had made a mistake deploying the warriors there, this early in the battle.

"Don't let them climb the walls!" She ordered. The screamers were fast and focussed. Even though many fell victim to the arrows, some still got closer than Fenna would have liked.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

The alarm sounded. Fenna jolted up. At first she was confused about what was happening, it was too soon, it couldn't be the attack. But what enemy would stick to their schedule if they could use the element of surprise? She cursed under breath as she quickly put on her armour, grabbed her bow and spear and rushed out of the room. Zell was there — of course he was — and clasped her shoulder. He nodded to her and she nodded back. Of course he shouted words of encouragement, Fenna wasn't sure if he really believed it, but it was good to know that at least one of them was confident. Or, in the very least, acted confident. It helped. Sil joined her and flew alongside her.

As she ran to the appointed place, horrors rained down on the town. Ghouls. Fenna looked up to see a creature fly overhead and for a moment thought about shooting an arrow, but she didn't even know where the weak spot would be. Instead, she bashed in the skull of one ghoul and stabbed another as she moved through them. every ghoul that came on her path met one of the ends of her spear. City militia approached to deal with the ghouls and Fenna saw fire balls and lightning bolts being fired at flying creature.

Along the way their group split up, but Falcons joined her. When she reached her appointed location a part of the Falcons were already in position. Others arrived and quickly took place. When Sil soared over their heads, they cheered. As Fenna gave them a moment to assemble, Fenna climbed up the battlements to see what the situation was, and cursed. So many enemies, siege towers approaching, and they needed to somehow win this? They had to, it was fight or die, and Fenna was not about to die in some far-away land.

'All right,' she said, turning around. 'We'll have to give it everything we got.' Her eyes moved over her troops. Some people were missing. Were they late? Killed by ghouls? Had they deserted and fled the city? She turned to her second in command. 'Make sure to write down who didn't join us,' she told him, and after receiving a confirmation she turned to the troops again. 'As we planned. Arrows first, when they get too close the archers fall back and we'll use spears, when they get within reach we use swords. We will fight them with every step they take. Get ready!'

Writing/RP contest - Vacation

The deadline is in 12 days, so there's enough time to work on your entries.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Hello! I'm ready ^_^

Writing/RP contest - Vacation

For this contest I want you to take one of the RP characters you used in a roleplay on the Guild and sent them on a nice vacation for the summer or the winter or Yule or Christmas. But, as we all know, nothing goes exactly like plan. For example, after the many adventures your character had, they deserve a break on a nice beach. Suddenly, a hurricane hits, or a shark attacks. A tornado filled with sharks hits the land? Anyway, you get what I mean. Have your character go on a well deserved break (because we are nice to our characters) and make something happen (because we also torment our character).

No word limit for this one, fanfictions are allowed.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Fenna accepted the drinks from Zell, examining the shot before bringing it to her lips. Manticore spit, how typical of Zell to bring back something weird like this. The liquid was much darker than anything she had seen before and the smell was, well, it was no Jägermeister. The cautious part of her was not yet convinced she wanted to try this. Zell, on the other hand, wasted no time and downed the shot. She could see the regret almost instantly and it would have been funny if she didn't have the same drink in front of her. Clive too downed the shot and seeing how the big man reacted didn't leave her with much confidence. The sane part of her wanted to refuse, put the drink aside and forget about it. All the evidence pointed to it being a very bad idea. But... what was life if you couldn't take a chance sometimes? "Here goes nothing," she muttered and brought the glass up, tilted her head and downed the liquid. It burned down her throat, shot needles into her head and left a vile taste on her tongue. "Gah," she sputtered and she coughed. "Sodeju," she croaked. "That'sstrong." She coughed again and croaked. "Never...again..."
Next time, Fenna decided, next time Zell would come back with something that sounded dubious and smelled dubious, she would not drink it. But she was glad she did, because this was something they would remember forever.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Fenna approached the building that served drinks. Sil, who wasn't looking forward being inside with a lot of humans around her, flew up and settled on the roof, where she would keep watch.

When Fenna entered the bar it didn't take long to find two of her comrades, especially with Zell calling her name through the room and waving at her. She clasped his extended hand before she joined them at the table. They were drinking, but it didn't look like happy drinking. Both had grim expressions on their faces, even with Zell keeping up his lighthearted behaviour.
Fenna chuckled at his comment. "It will have to do," she sighed.

The beer, while not bad, was one of the many things that just wasn't the same as back home. At least it had the same effect: dulling of the mind and a headache in the morning. How long ago was it she had just sat down with friends in a bar and drink? Not often since she had become a parent. "Cheers," she said to Clive and Zell, raising her mug. "We've been through a lot and the troubles are far from over, but at least we're in good company."
