Rose ran up to Ward out of breath and her hair a mess she was sweating. Motioning to the necklace she said " can...you... " . She needed someone to get it off her so she could be of some use...


((Did I ever tell you guys that Rose is a princess? Because I was planning on her finding out since she has been having dreams of her parents and the dragon kingdom))

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena dismounted and stared in horror at the kingdom town. She looked to Ward with sympathy. This was his home. This must be taking the worst toll on him. She came up to the others with a worried frown, then nodded at Anya and Leia. She watched the people who were taking refuge in the ballroom. She refused to abandon them. It was like allowing Ward to die, equal to allowing anyone here to die. She wouldn't have it


"I'm coming with you, to defend too. Ward. I'm going to see how long I can prevent them from reaching the interior of the city. Trust me and do what you need to do."


She created her sword and shield and ran out of the shelter and into the carnage. Her mind was completely aligned with her powers and the destroyed stone and wood moved as a wave of wall. All around the center of the city, destroyed building rubble started to lift and weave upward, moving for the others like she did the trees before but now it was easier.


Elena stayed on the outside, eyes closed, seeing everything which touched or attacked her creation, as well as holding her sword, prepared to fight if necessary.

 

[Lioness075]

(Ward is already running to where Trindle has some armor for the shifters so Rose will have to follow along to talk with him)


Luness dismounted from Ward's back and jogged after him, determined to join in the fight.


While en route, she took off the makeshift sling and put the scarf in her knapsack while keeping pace with Ward. She then dropped to all fours, feeling a slight ache, but no pain luckily. She would just need to stretch it out a bit before going into battle.


While they made their way to where Trindle had the armor for shifters, Luness wondered if she could get some weaponry. She also realized that it would be extremely helpful if she could arm her pack. This in mind, Luness continued to sprint alongside Ward as she asked Trindle, "Do you have enough shifter armor for my pack as well?"

 

[SilverFlight]

((Cool! You never mentioned she was a princess no :3 Oh, and Leia did offer to help her get a ride on Nyr's back, her being a giant raven and all ))


Ward clasped the pendant gently with a talon and pulled it from Rose's neck, releasing her to transform back into a dragon.


 
Trindle looked down surprised at finding a werecat alongside the usual band of misfits. He grinned. "I've been developing a new type of battle claws to go with the armour. And I've made enough to supply a hundred. @Lioness075


"Wait! Elena!" Ward squawked. "You can't rush off without armour!" Trindle grabbed the gryphon by an ear. "We need you to support our air unit. Shift into a human, I need to fit you properly."


Ward yelped and obeyed, wondering if Trindle would miss a finger if he tried to pull his ear again.


The armour fitted snugly and Ward had to admit, the old dwarf had outdone himself. When the armour was on Ward grabbed another set and dashed off after Elena. @Bea Delaine


Leia was getting fitted as well, her light hair being tied back tightly into a war braid and pinned to the back of her head.


"You're gonna need something stronger than that fire poker." Trindle told her. He took a broadsword off of a wrack and handed it to her.


"Sick." She replied, holding the blade up, it didn't feel heavy at all. Tad whirled around the blade, whistling angrily.


Leia in armour

 

[DawnAntalios]

Nyr was surprised. She fending off the enemy but why and how? But then the realization struck her.


" You think I know the movement of the enemy because I am also a dread raven. Am I correct? " she asked, mildly offended. It also pained her a bit that she was barely able to be help in tactics.


" What I know that my father is cunning and avoids close combat. It is likely that two or three of his lieutenants leading the forces. If we defeat them the rest of the army should crumble as well. "

 

[wolfborn4]

Rose nodded in thanks as she shifted into her dragon form. She looked to the sky. Looking back down she dashed after Ward watching them get fitted into armor.

 

[SilverFlight]

"No," Briar said, "I am asking your advice because our enemy is your father." There was no hint of judgement in her voice, just the desperate will to save her people. "Thank you Nyr...I will not ask you to fight your kin, but we need all the help we can get in defense or in helping the citizens." @DawnAntalios


Alta approached and slung her bag over her back. "You just point me in the direction of the infirmary dearie, I'll take care of the rest."


((All the supporting characters!! X3 ))

 

[Lioness075]

Luness was pleased to hear that Trindle could fit her pack as well and let out a caterwaul, calling them to her. She soon skidded to a halt upon their arrival at the armory and stood up in time to see her pack arriving just behind her. Soon, Luness had Falarion at her side and seven other werewolves behind her in a semi-circle. Despite being dwarfed by all of the werewolves, Luness grinned, feeling stronger with werewolves at her side.


Luness got herself fitted as well, despite disliking having to change into her human form, and was pleased when she got her own armor on, a kind that was more than befitting for a rogue werecat of her nature. She also was pleased with the fact that the armor helped hide her bandages, therefore making her less of a target in the battlefield.

Luness then stepped aside to allow her pack to get fitted as well. She was more than pleased with the outcome.

Luness then led her newly-armored pack, all of which had already shifted back into their werewolf forms along with Luness shifting into her werecat form, back to Trindle. Nodding at the dwarf, Luness asked him, "You said you had some battle claws available?" @SilverFlight


(Disregard all of the weapons in the armor pics since neither Luness nor the pack would be using such weapons in a fight anyhow)

 

[Hel]

Alexander had left before any mention of armour had been made, apart from wanting desperately to speak with the dragons, he felt he did not need armor, he would let his scales protect him as they always had.


Anya, meanwhile, thought it best to go armour herself before she went into battle she found one that fitted snugly, and put it on. She kept the daggers, liking the way they felt best.


(Will post more later!)

 

[SilverFlight]

Trindle took them to a small side room and lit a torch. Along the wall, gleaming dangerously were a hundred sets of wicked metal claws. each set different from the last. For now they fit a human's hand, but when a creature shifted, the claws would form exactly to their limb, staying on whether they could hold them or not.


"Take your pick."


@Lioness075

 

[DawnAntalios]

She shook her head.


" They are my kin no longer. They have surrendered to darkness and thus they are nothing more than mindless abominations. "


She blushed as she said the next words.


" I have a special armor prepared for me by mother moon. It is quite fitting for a moon warrior, but it might look strange. "


She vanished and reemerged in her armor, still blushing.

" I know I look ridiculous. But the will of Mother Moon is absolute, I will follow her counsel. "

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena covered the inner untouched city with her moving walls, knuckles white with their grip on the sword. Through the smoke she squinted at a familiar face holding armor. She called out, taking the armor.


"Ward! Thank you.. I've got the interior covered!" She said with a stern but satisfied expression. She dropped her weaponry and slipped on the suit.


"Hey. I've got this area covered, but I'll come if you need me. Please please stay safe?"

 

[Lioness075]

Luness grinned at the selection and said over her shoulder to her pack, "Take your pick, everyone."


The pack then all separated, as everyone looked over the battle claws, taking their pick and shifting into their human forms to put them on before shifting back into their were forms.

Once everyone was fitted and back into their were forms, Luness led the way back out of the armory and outside. Luness took the lead once more, dropping to all fours with her pack hot on her heels, as she rushed out to find Ward again. Finding him with Elena, Luness skidded to a halt a couple of feet away and stood up on her hind legs, her pack following suit. She then looked at Ward and asked, "Where would we be most useful in this battle? I can strike from the shadows, and my pack can easily overwhelm a small group or hold their own against a larger group."

[SilverFlight]

((OMG Dawn, Nyr's armour is totally badass!!!))


Ward helped Elena fasten the armour. When he was satisfied she was as protected as she could be he stood back and regarded her.


"I will...Elena...I..." He thought for another moment, trying to find the right words.


"I mean, if anything were to happen to you...I'd be..." He ran a gloved hand through his blond hair, why was it so difficult to say what he meant?


He took a deep breath. "Elena I--" But Luness appeared and asked for direction, followed by a pack of very severe-looking wolves.


"Go down into the city, there are plenty of shadows, see if you can help the citizens left behind, and push back as much as you can." He told her.


"Good luck."


When he turned back to Elena he smiled. "You stay safe as well."


With that he transformed back into his gryphon form and screeched a challenge to the dark forces accosting his home. He rose into the sky, batting a fury out of the air like a shuttle cock and soaring to help with the aerial struggle.


Ward's armour


((My last post for the night, sorry guys! ))


 
((@Bea Delaine That looks adorable))

 

[zCrookedz]

Leo watched as the portal melted away from around them and the horror of the city lay before them. He didnt understand,what could have caused all of this destruction. The gardens still intact, and the grand hall was reinforced, but the barrier was penetrated which was a problem. Leo watched as they landed how the now battle ready princess came and greeted them. He listened as plans were hatched and stratagies were discussed. All he could think of where of those who were in trouble. As the rest of the party followed Trindle to recieve their armor, Leo made his way into the grand hall and looked around at the ones hurt and dying. He began with the smallest and prepaired them to escape the town.


((this seems to be moving fairly fast so im putting Leo in a state of readyness if he is needed. I may not be able react right away for the next couple of hours so if he's needed for healing or anything else, just gimmie a little bit i swear ill reply))

 

[Jecklyn]

Banba took a running start before pushing herself into the air, following behind the group. She was the last out of the portal, and Banba kept running until she was alongside ward, eventually shrinking down to her lizard form.


"My forms are more than the moons in the sky." She shouted, raising a brow. "Will you eggshells work with me?" She took a set, none the less, and quickly slipped it on, running back into the fray. Looking around, her muddled brain decided air support was needed, and two bat like wings sprouted between the plates of armor. With one powerful push from the ground, Banba was airborne and tackled a dread raven. Her claws grew longer and razor sharp, clawing at whatever flesh she could reach, tearing stronger and sharper teeth in as well. Raking all her claws against the wing of her opponent, she flipped mid-air, pushing her leg against his back and sending him to the ground, wing ripped and useless.


((Legit question, does the shifter armor work on more than two forms?))

 

[Lioness075]

Luness nodded at Ward's instructions and hissed an order at the werewolves behind her to follow her.


Luness and the pack dropped to all fours and then Luness took the lead as they began racing through the city's streets, hearing the occasional scream or two when they surprised terrified citizens. Along the way, Luness noted several citizens were being cornered by a group of demons.


Snarling, Luness led the charge, as her pack and herself tackled the demons aside and quickly dispatched them while only suffering a minor cut or two among the pack.


Luness then stood up and said to the citizens, "Get to the ballroom, now!" The citizens rushed in the direction of the castle while Luness nodded at her pack and continued leading them through the city, dispatching demons where they could find them and Luness did her best to convince any citizens they found to go to the castle for safety.

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena felt an attack on one side of the wall, so she closed her eyes and cringed, feeling the wall sustain and morph to protect. She listened to Ward struggle for words and the topic change as Luness approached, but she smiled anyways because she understood.


"I'll be safe. I promise." She said as he morphed and flew off. It was nice. In the chaos, she had a moment where everything felt alright. He was gone now though. Moving slower from the effort to protect the castle and ballroom with her power, she ventured into the fire and attack to find any other people who need help.


Sure enough, she came upon a mother centaur and her child, leg crushed from burning pillar. Elena sat by it and attempted to remove the pillar.

 

[wolfborn4]

Rose launched herself into the air. She was attacked by a emerald green dragon she tumbled in the air to one side having been ramped into. She clawed at the dragons belly and it bite her neck she roared in pain and clawed one of its eyes and broke its wing. She let's it fall helpless to the ground as she attacked a dread raven.

 

[Lioness075]

As Luness and her pack rushed through the city, she soon found Elena struggling to lift a pillar from a centaur's child's leg. Huffing an order to two of her packmembers, Luness rushed forward alongside them and the two packmembers quickly helped Elena raise the pillar high enough until the child could crawl free from it. Once the child was free, Luness rushed to Elena's side to pull her back before the packmembers dropped the pillar, not wanting Elena to get stuck under it after trying to help.


Luness nodded silently at Elena and then dove back into the shadows along with her pack, disappearing as swiftly as they had appeared to aid Elena in her efforts.


@Bea Delaine

 

[DawnAntalios]

Holding her golden scythe in her hands Nyr watched the destruction to unfold.


" Something still hinders their movement and their advance. " she noted and looked skyward " The barrier still impeding their force. We could use it to our advantage. "


She looked around, and saw that few sorcerers still remained.


" If we could re-arrange the matrix of the barrier we could create a massive implosion on the inside, killing most of them. Since we are not tainted by demonic magic we should be unaffected. "


She then sighed.


" Of course this is easier said than done I am afraid. "

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena struggled greatly before Luness and her pack came along to help. Luness even kept Elena from getting crushed in the process. Before the other could run off again, Elena called out to the other with a gracious tone.


"Thank you Luness! Please stay safe."


Elena supported the mother with her shoulder and held the child's hand as she led them through a hole her fortress made for them.


"Move along. Keep close and I will allow you a passage way to the ballroom where the others are."


She said in a well rehearsed polite and sweet voice. Sure enough, the moving wall made a tunnel for the two and closed behind. Elena felt her power map out every point of attack and she saw, no felt everyone who moved through.


Elena caught sight of a giant bat like demonic creature spitting flames. Without hesitation, she attacked, bringing it down with a wave of stone crashing on it, and killed it from the ground with her sword.

 

[Naeg1]

Zelnite was running below them, when they were at the pool portal he jumped in. The first thing he saw were the hellish creatures, then the fire. He was about to scream but he held it in. Following the others to get armour from Trindle. After he wore it, he continued fighting, doing his best to hide his fear of fire. Then he looked at Nyr. "Any ideas how we should do that?"

Zelnites Armor

 

[Flutterby]

Quincy didnt dismount Alexander. Instead, she grabbed a piece of rope and tied it around him in front of her. It wasnt tight on him, but it only moved a few inches away from his scales. She tucked her legs under it and hooked the heels of her boots over it, securing her legs to his sides and creating a way to be more secure during fast flying or a fight. Id like to stay up here, as long as you dont mind. She thought to him, nocking an arrow quickly and sending it flying at a dread raven the was headed for them. Suddenly she was grateful for the enchanted quiver she had risked stealing; there were so many enemies, more than she had ever seen before.
