The Dweomer of Akkad - [ A Fire Emblem-like RPG! ]

Slowing his pace to a cautious walk Siris continued forward while brushing his hand on the wall, keeping his sword in his hand while doing so.

He turns his head slightly towards Ashür, making sure to keep most of his concentration in front of him.

Siris: I’ll stay near this wall to make sure we don’t unknowingly pass any hidden passageways, hopefully avoiding any possible ambushes from behind or to the side.

Although his bleeding was slowing down it had not completely halted, the injuries however were not debilitating and had the side effect of increasing Siris’s focus to avoid leading himself to an untimely death.

Taking a deep breath, Siris calmed himself as he felt the blood from his two shallow stab wounds slowly trickle down his armor. This wasn’t his first time adventuring into danger but normally he was always abandoned, the most logical solution, but Ashür’s words had made him realize this wasn’t like those times.

The young warrior looks around and sees how the rest of the his allies had not only followed him but kept up with him. Focusing his resolve Siris looks Ashür in the eye before speaking.


Siris: I apologize Ashür, you’re correct…

Without much else to say given the situation, Siris thinks back to his young days of constant training and decides he would be would still be best suited to watch the front so long as he didn’t stray too far. He speaks to his comrade with a serious tone

Siris: I’ll guard the front, even injured I’m more suited for it. As you say we shall advance together.

With his shield up, Siris slowly walks forward while waving his sword, trying to use it to get an idea of his surroundings and to deter and frontal assaults.

Siris could feel anger bubbling up from inside him, but not at the yeek or Lyun but at himself for how weak he had been. There are few things he believed in but his own strength was one of them, even if the battle hadn’t been decided yet with how it was going it could’ve gone either way without Lyun’s help

As he gripped his sword harder and focused himself he saw a yeek running away from him and his allies into the darkness. Although he failed against his previous opponent, this time he would be ready. He must redeem myself.

Siris: Lyun!

Siris: …

Siris: Thank you! I’ll handle the one that’s escaping!

Siris yelled this without turning to look his ally in the face, he just focused on running into the darkness attempting to follow the sound of running to pursue the yeek.

Seeing the massive creature walking down the hall with its allies, Siris hesitated for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

Siris: Finally a real opponent, your fight is with me!

He shouted this at the monster while pointing his sword at it, although he doubted it could understand him a pointed sword is usually easily understood.

Siris began to charge as the other warrior yeeks attacked his allies, however he could not afford to distract himself and ran forward without further delay.

As he ran he felt a weird sensation as if his fine muscle control felt weaker but quickly after it strengthened back to his usual norm, although this was barely registering in Siris’s head.

The small part of his brain still thinking of his allies and bodily sensations shut down when he was finally in front of the massive yeek.

It roared at the headstrong warrior and lifted its mighty axe to strike Siris down but the tightness of the hall for the beast worked against it as it took extra time to swing its massive axe correctly. Siris took this extra time to break into a sprint, as the red yeek swung the young warrior slid below the massive axe and then immediately stabbed the monster in the stomach.

With a yell Siris used all his strength and pushed his sword to the right, further cutting the beast’s gut until it finally cut all the way out through its side.

The red yeek began to bend over and with a small chuckle Siris began to turn towards the group when he saw the massive axe began to quickly move toward him. He put his shield in front of himself to stop it but the swing was too powerful causing Siris to fly back and slam into the wall.

Barely landing on his feet Siris stumbled in pain towards the center of the hall to keep his balance as blood dripped from his head, his bones and organs not severely damaged thanks to the armor.

The beast was still alive and it was pissed.

Siris: shit..

After regaining his composure, Siris turned and saw his allies once again working on breaking down another wall. As he walked closer the wall fell and he could hear the sounds of fighting coming from outside.

Siris: Charge again!!!

He pushes himself in between Etor and Lyun and ran to where he heard fighting. He saw two figures fighting with spears, making it hard to distinguish between the two. As he got closer the one on his right seemed much more humanoid, so he was decently sure that the one on his left was a yeek; although not sure but it was a “risk” he was willing to take.

Siris: Die you bastard!!

Although Siris made a lot of noise both going through the wall, running, and yelling, the yeek couldn’t change his focus without getting a fatal blow from the spearman. When Siris reached striking range the yeek tried to quickly turn to stab him, but a quick deflection with a blade sealed its fate.

Before the yeek could reposition itself Siris used the sword once again while still running to quickly stab the yeek under its chin, causing the blade to come out through it’s head thus killing the creature instantly.


Siris: Haha! Victory is once again mine.

As he lowers his weapon and the yeek slides off, he turned to see what seemed to be the rest of his allies nearby.

Siris: Ah, hello friends. Looks like we met up again quickly!

Siris had been patiently waiting for his allies to break down the wall, but the instant it crumbled before them so too did his patience.

Siris: Charge!!! Follow me!

He quickly runs past Lyun and makes an abrupt turn to the left with his shield out. Shortly after there's a loud noise as Siris's shield and face impact into the wall.

He rubs his face with his sword-hand attempting to fruitlessly lessen the stinging sensation

Siris: Gah!! What the hell! Guys this is just a dead-end.

This is was probably the first time Siris had been called Stout, he took it as proof that his strength was finally beginning to be noticed. Looking to further prove his strength, Siris loudly yells towards Ashür, seemingly interrupting his and Iddin’s conversation.

Siris: “Hey Ashür, instead of keeping an eye out would it be alright if I just went downstairs and finished the rest of the enemies by myself? It’d be faster!”

Ashür: "Siris" He calmly proclaims with wary look "I relish the day to see all that confidence drain from your eyes, but it won't be this day. . ."

He winces as Iddin goes to work on Ashür's wounds

Ashür: "Keep what little wits you've got about you and stand guard."

Siris: “No need to be such an ass about it" Siris mutters before taking a seat on the first stair of the staircase and begins to take a look at his injuries

_{Siris stays on 25-11}

The Dweomer of Akkad - [ A Fire Emblem-like RPG! ]

After getting a good look at the battlefield, Siris was surprised to notice that between the efforts of himself and his allies the creatures had already been completely defeated.

Siris: Huh, this was even easier than expected.

While Siris's self confidence increased even more than it originally was, he heard what sounded like a man yelling. It was coming from one of the corridores, but after he saw some of his allies go towards the noise he figured there was no reason to bother himself going to check it out as well.

Seeing a staircase nearby, Siris begins to curiously walk towards it.

_{Siris moves 1 tile to 25-11}

The Dweomer of Akkad - [ A Fire Emblem-like RPG! ]

Siris prepares himself as the yeeks quickly rush towards him and his allies. Right before the first yeeks are about to reach he sees an arrow come flying towards him. With quick reflexs Siris blocks the arrow with his shield, avoiding a very unneeded injury. Although, having had to have move his shield to stop the arrow, the yeek warrior right in front of Siris was willing and able to take advantange of that brief opening in the young warrior's defenses.

Noticing the yeek's attack, and thanks to his many years of training, Siris pivots on his left foot bringing his right foot behind his left and effectively turning his body quickly 90 degrees. The yeek manages to slice the frontal part of Siris's abdomen, but noticeably nothing that could be considered even minimally fatal; as opposed to the very serious wound if his dodge wasn't succesful.

With as much speed as before, Siris quickly puts his right leg in front if his left in a lunging position, while simultaneously pushing the spear out of the way because of the turning of his body, and pierces the yeek through the chest.

Siris: Not bad foul beast, not many can have the honor of injuring me HAHAHA! while removing the sword from the yeek's chest as it falls to the ground.

While fighting Siris had noticed some of the other yeeks had slipped past him, although hearing the sound of battling and yelling behind him he knew his allies were currently fighting them and saw no need in having to personally go and defeat them.

Siris begins to move forward to prepare to fight the archer that had previously fired upon him but is delighted to notice he doesn't have to bother himself seeing as how Zarif had already shot two arrows into it causing its quick demise.

With the archer out of the way Siris sets his sights on the weird looking yeek that had caused the other ones to increase in strength.

Siris: So, you thought you could stay behind safely while we fought and, in your hopes, were defeated? Allow my blade to show you the error of your ways

With quick movement Siris runs at the yeek ensi, slicing its head off before it can react.

Siris: Hmph, at least attempt to put up a fight he says while taking a moment to look at everything.

_{Siris moves 5 tiles to 25-12 and attacks and kills yeek ensi #2}

The Dweomer of Akkad - [ A Fire Emblem-like RPG! ]

Seemingly after he told Etor to hurry, Siris noticed many of his companions all rush in to attack the enemy

Siris: 'I have become more charismatic than I thought'

Feeling it only fitting for someone of his strength to take the lead, he begins moving towards the stairs of the ziggurt.
He sees a yeek with a bow near the stairs only for it to be quickly attacked and presumably killed by Etor, but Siris keeps moving forward and goes up the stairs without hesitation

While starting to go up the stairs he sees Ashür in combat with another yeek. Although another of his companions, Makeen, was right behind him. Siris passes him right as he launches the knife at the yeek that would prove to be the killing blow. Siris keeps moving forward passing Ashür

Siris: "Do not worry, for I have arrived!" he says seemingly to Ashür but in reality to no one in particular

Although he didn't say it, he didn't even directly think it, Siris was glad to have capable allies

Passing the dying yeek's convulsing body, Siris reaches the top of the stairs seeing Zarif there as well. Having reached the top of the stairs Siris now sees the large amount of yeeks coming towards them, as well as them begin to move faster after hearing certain chants from a strange yeek. Putting these thoughts in the back of his mind,
Siris takes a couple of steps forward while walking with his shield and sword to his sides while raising his voice
Siris: "The time for the mighty to take the lead has come!!" while raising his sword toward the big group of yeeks charging towards them he continues
"HA HA HA! Truly, you are as foolish as you are unlucky to have to face me in battle and not even attempt to run away!"

Siris stops walking and begins getting into his combat stance

"For against the likes of you, if you fight me with one, ten or one hundred; the only thing that will change is your body count!"
