"That's true . . ." said Kenren, thinking of more reasons for Chenglei to change disguises. He watched him prepare his hair. He felt a little nostalgic. They used to don disguises a lot back when they were younger. "But traditionally, seeing a man lead bolsters more confidence and reassurance in the men than if they saw a woman."

Meanwhile, Johnny, who was surprised with the hug from Minnie, crept behind the gunner one day and gave her a surprise hug from behind. "Thanks for the hug, Minnie!" he said cheerfully.

Chenglei pondered for a moment, setting his bun and lightly plopped on Kenren's bed to sit. "I suppose so...but Ken'en, we're not exactly traditional either. You put Echo and Lydia in charge of their own small army." He pointed out. "There's also the Queen of Elves. She fights along side her men while leading them."

"Besides we're not in the Orients; we're with countries who are used to seeing strong women." Chenglei will never under estimate with a woman's strength.

Meanwhile Minnie flinched, tensing up before she grabbed his arms and tossed him over her shoulder; making him land on his back to the safe matted floor of the gym. Her grip tightened on his clothes as she trembled fearfully. "...Oh...Johnny...." She gasped out, paling and breaking out in a cold sweat. "It's you...You're welc-welcome..." The little gunner didn't let go after a few minutes as she struggling on relaxing. "...Sorry...about tossing you..."She slowly let's go of his clothes. "...a-are you okay?"

"That's true . . ." said Kenren, his heart now sinking. He cheered himself with the thought that honestly, it's not like Chenglei would belong to someone else. Still, he felt a rush of possessiveness at the thought of some guy flirting with him. Maybe he should stalk him, see who takes an interest in him and then corner those who do and intimidate them. "It's a good disguise, Chenglei, I even heard rumors that you got flirted on." he said nonchalantly, in good humor.

Meanwhile, Johnny looked like he didn't know what just happened. "Aye, a-are you?" he said, noticing her trembling. "Sorry, did I scare you?"

Chenglei chuckled, nodding a bit. "Yes, it's rather funny to see their faces when I told them it was just me. Poor fellows looked so confused too." Soon enough, the blonde soldier moved closer to Kenren for him to rub his cheek against his own cheek and holding his hand. "It's okay though because it's an honest mistake and I already have someone to come back to." He admitted shyly, blushing red as he squeezed his hand and pecked his cheek.

"...Hm. Then again, I should get another disguise ready." Chenglei grinned, a glint of a mischievous prankster gleamed in his eyes. "The enemy might already found out that I was the woman leading everyone. Perhaps I should wear a beard..." He asked Kenren for opinions of what else he can wear as a disguise.

Meanwhile Minnie cleared her throat after her voice came out in a higher pitch then normal. "Ye-yes...I-I mean no...uh..." She gulped as she took a deep breathe. "I'm...I'm afraid of being touched..." The little gunner admitted quietly before offering her metal hand to him. "H-here..."

He promised they won't go to the moon, so they won't go to the moon --- but sacré bleu! Chenglei's words make him so happy!

Kenren couldn't help but smile and rub his cheek back, squeezing his hand, as his possessiveness melted away. He gave Chenglei a playful bite on his neck. The swordsman could see on the prince's skin those love marks he made almost three months ago. They had turned into permanent scars.

"Welcome back, Chenglei." smiled Kenren warmly and hugged him.

The prince rested his head on the swordsman's chest as he thought about his disguise. "And chest hair, oh and tattoos --- and a fake lip piercing." he added helpfully.

* * * *​

Johnny gently held Minnie's hand and let the gunner pull him up. "Thank you, and it's quite understandable, Minnie." he said knowledgeably. "I'm not entirely certain if you know, but I have a fear of girls. I don't like being touched by them either, even just talking makes me panic a little, especially if they are intimidating." he smiled at her as though he had met someone who was of the same feather.

"So, what are the rules around your space?" said Johnny making circular hand gestures.

Chenglei brightened up when he saw Kenren's smile, looking more like his age then before with his eyes a bit wide and happy. Then he closed his eyes as he chuckled his 'Kufufu!' when he playfully bit his neck. He peeked his eyes open to see the scars on his love's neck, pleased. If he had his scales out, the blonde is pretty sure he would be purring right about now.

His heart melted as he hugged back, nuzzling his cheek again. "It's wonderful tuh be back, Ken'en."

With a hand playing Kenren's hair, Chenglei thought about the disguise ideas and nodded. "Alright. I can give dat a try. Hopefully I dun' get hit on again. Kufufufu-!" It would really funny if his men still thought he looked good. Hmm...He pondered if him dressing up as such would make him look more like his past self then now; being born from the poorer part of the Orients and all...

"...What sort of tattoo I should get?" He asked quietly.

*******************************************

Oh she noticed. She noticed alright. "...That's why I asked Echo to hug you for me." That and she didn't want to touch.At.All. Though she did raise an eyebrow. "So...you're not afraid of me? Or feel intimidated?" That's new. A lot of people find her scary...somehow.

"M-my rules...I don't mind if you are close to me as long you don't touch me. Just let me know if you're gonna hug me or something. I don't mind if you grab my prosthetic but don't take it off...I'm only letting Sen do that." Minnie blushed a bit before shaking her head. "A-Anyways I...I only let Sen, Seth, and a very special friend of ours to touch me normally...So don't be surprised if I come out of nowhere to hug the twins."

The quivering of Lydia's voice and the trembling of her hands were the physical manifestations of the first thought that had shot through her head upon James' return after having been shot. He could have died out there and they would never be certain of what happened to him other than he was gone. That terrifying thought had practically caused Lydia to ice up from shock. She tried not to think of it because it was horrible. She couldn't even imagine not knowing and only guessing about whether or not he had even lived when he didn't return. Though her conscious thoughts had pushed the realization aside, her subconscious had not and that fact showed in the way she handled him so delicately as he healed.

With all of the work that Lydia was doing, she took great solace in being able to spend time with James and after making sure he had everything he needed, she never turned down his offer to rest with him and most of the time she would just listen to him talk before falling asleep, just happy that she could still listen to his voice. It was in this way that her resting with James was the only time she actually slept and the only time she would leave during these moments was if the infirmary staff asked her to.

It was funny looking at Seifer and Renee as friends and realizing that their relationships had evolved and likely would continue to do so as they eventually likely would all become in-laws, not to mention that Seifer's teasing really reminded her of Thomas, though he was a bit meaner than Thomas, the whole idea pained her since her brother was currently a likely prisoner of Valdanr. Regardless of the archer's teasing and general lack of any sense when it came to speaking to people, it wasn't anything that Lydia couldn't handle and if he got too cocky with his quips, Lydia simply retorted with a well placed poke to a tender spot while narrowing her green eyes on him.

Spending any of her free time at the infirmary with James and helping Seifer when Renee wasn't around, Lydia had spotted the Pendragon sister more than once in various states of sleep deprivation and displaying evidence of being overworked. That had caused her to make the decision that since James and Seifer weren't present, she would watch the white haired teen whenever they were out in combat. If Lydia saw Renee look like she wanted to help someone, she would use her own shields to help. When she saw how persistent Renee was with helping, Lydia stopped her and reminded her that if she completely depleted herself, it would take the healers more time to get her to where she could help again than if she took a rest when she was tired and rested when she could, encouraging her to rest with Seifer as she had been doing with James. She pointed out how the infirmary was understaffed, but that didn't stop the medical staff from resting when they could and helped Renee work out shifts with them all so that they could each get the rest they needed and be in as good condition as they could be to continue working without overworking. It was in Renee's nature to care and want to help, but that didn't mean she should neglect herself for the sake of others and if she were too tired all the time, when she went into combat she was more likely to get hurt because she wouldn't have as much energy and awareness to keep herself safe which would in turn make her a liability to those around her. Lydia was honestly glad when she found her sleeping under the desk where she did her work and didn't even try to disturb her, quietly collecting her things and finding another place to work.

Renee's gestures of kindness when Lydia would visit James and help him and Seifer were very appreciated because they saved Lydia time. Lydia wasn't aware of Renee's hesitance because Lydia, while generally being socially awkward, had pushed the whole disagreement that had occurred in James' soul room out of her mind because there were just more important things to occupy her thoughts than the fact that she thought that Renee and Seifer relied too unconditionally on each other. It couldn't really be pinpointed why their relationship was as it was. It couldn't be their upbringing because they were both raised fairly differently, but relationship dynamics was not something that Lydia thought about, especially now. She just wanted to make sure herself and Renee stayed functional so as not to worry their loved ones that were currently incapacitated and couldn't keep an eye on them as they may have wanted to.

After James had healed fully and donned his new disguise, every time their shared a quick smooch, undoubtedly out of view of prying eyes, Lydia couldn't help but giggle wildly at the absurdity of it - that and the fact that every time it tickled. If James mentioned the different kisses they had shared, Lydia would chirp abruptly at the mention because she hadn't even thought about the types of kisses they had, nor about how often they had kissed, though she could still remember the first time and it still made her cheeks flush.

When they would go into battle and Johnny would support her efforts, she couldn't decide exactly where to place him. He was an excellent friend and he was close to her age and how he treated her reminded her in a way of Frederick. She was definitely grateful for the journal and quill and couldn't thank him enough for the gift because it would be useful in so many ways and while she of course appreciated the fact that they were gifted to her as a thank you, she let Johnny know that it wasn't necessary to thank her because she knew that he, just like any of their friends, would have done the same for her.

Kenren pondered Chenglei's tattoo as he looked him over. "A lightning wolf walking on water surrounded by petals of your blooming flowers on your back." he suggested, patting his love's back. Then he was silent as he was drawn into thought again. "Chenglei, since wedding rings would give us away, do you want to have matching tattoos in the future instead?"

Meanwhile, Johnny accepted Minnie's boundaries without question and told her that he was afraid of her before, but after he learned how nice she was during their time in Dalaran against those intimidating ladies, he wasn't scared of her anymore.

James was now more careful in the battlefield, he liked being taken care of by Lydia, but he didn't like making her scared or worried. To that end he ate heartily, rested well, and didn't go off alone anymore. He stayed close to her, just like she wanted, and fought by her side. His free time was spent studying a new summon, a tier eight one that the warlocks at Dalaran had employed ever since the giants came out.

Dalaran and many of their allies' most valuable areas were now being besieged by the giants. Kenren's wasn't an exception as they lost the harbor fortress at Frankia. The army, now led by Chenglei, was spread thin, its bulk assembled here in Paroosia, so there were no dragons to defend the other places.

There was a tall wall surrounding the city and here the army of the black dragon assembled for the final showdown, the big one. The heroes had gone through their toughest fights coming here: their skirmish with the kraken that the giants awoke from the deep, their epic battle against the king of the fire giants, Surt, and the spell war between the frost giants who threatened to bring winter early to the land.

Ever the portal remained open as more giants poured in, carrying gargantuan logs and stones from their homeland and settling in the continent of Brusk, where they made giant iron forges and dug out entire mountains for coal and stone.

Now the two great armies such as never before seen as long as ten thousand years ago, assembled in the desolated plains of Paroosia where forests and greens now stood. Valdanr's forces were divided into two main divisions, the one garrisoned in the city, and the one facing out to meet the alliance.

Johnny was itching for a fight. His last legendary victory had left him ready to storm them and win! They had a plan, they knew what to do, everything was ready, and all that's left was the horn to charge. He was holding Echo's hand, his heart hammering fast. They were going to rescue her father and then free all the satyrs in Dawnsfield.

Seifer breathed in and out. For his love, his mother, and their big little one back on the other side of the Storm Wall, he will face his fears.

James too held Lydia's hand as he stood there with her. He still had his disguise on, and he looked at her, courage in his eyes. He had never shared anything as deep as this with anyone, and he was glad it was with her. He felt her like a pillar he could lean on, and he didn't feel so afraid. He was determined. Together with everyone, they were going to get Sen, Seth, Serena, his parents, Rhea, and everyone back.

Chenglei's ears and cheeks dusted in pink when Kenren looked him over, tilting his head down shyly. As he listened to his suggestion, the blonde blinked in surprise before smiling a bit. "Dat can work." Though when he mentioned about wedding rings and their future, his entire face changed to red. "...I-I....Hiieee....Uhh..." He gulped and nodded. "Y-yea, w-we can hav' matchin' t-t-tattoos instead of reddin' wings..."

Meanwhile Minnie took another deep breathe to relax and gave Johnny a small smile. "...I see...Anytime you need help, know that I'll have your back." Then she continued to practice her sharp shooting and asked Johnny if he would like to train with her at hand to hand combat.

Renee really did appreciate Lydia's reminders while her brother and Seifer were out, keeping them in mind whenever she worked and took breaks.

*********************************************************​

So the big day has arrived: they were to fight in Paroosia. Chenglei stood tall, ready to give the signal to the soldier that held the horn to blow. Everyone knew what to do, everyone knew the plan, and the blonde soldier silently prayed.

Echo waited for the signal, squeezing Johnny's hand a bit as her ears folded back in anticipation. She has to wait but soon- Soon they'll be able to save Johnny's little sisters and her father and the other satyrs in Dawnsfield, her home. All they needed to do was follow their plan and do what's needed to be done.

Minnie watched on from her hiding spot, armed and ready to start sniping her enemies whenever she can. Her teal blue eyes watched the movements of her friends before looking up to see the enemy and huffed. She wants the twins and Serena back and by gone, she will get them back. One way or another!

White wings fluttered anxiously as Renee stood next to Seifer. Her citrus orange eyes narrowed as she thought, 'I'm here again...and ready this time.' It has been months since the last time she was at Paroosia and running for her life while grabbing Valdanr's attention. Finally. Finally she can get her family back with everyone's help...

She looked over at Seifer, seeing him breathing in and out. The Pendragon teen reached up with a gloved hand and breathed in as she plucked a feather from her dyed dark brown wing. Slinging her bow over her shoulder, Renee tip-toed to reach up and braided his hair quickly before tying the end with a string and the feather tucked in. "A charm to be brave," She whispered to him, " and a reminder that you're not alone." Then she readied herself to fight with her bow knocked with an arrow. Her orange eyes gleamed determinedly.

[Roleplay Skittle]

Standing on the precipice of a decisive battle, Lydia was unaware of anything other than the enemies that spanned the land before herself and her comrades. Her green eyes were focused and very aware of her surroundings because she had decided not to wear her disguise. She didn't want their enemies to think that they had been defeated by a short and skinny, red haired fire mage with a prominent beard and ball mace, no, she wanted their enemies to know that when they met their demise, it was at her hands - the hands of Lady Deathbane. If their foes had the chance to look, they would see that was who she was because while her hammer had been out of commission, once the blacksmiths were done making the seals, she had asked one of them to etch into the handle the word, 'Deathbane.' Oh the enemies of the allies would know who felled them, though likely it wouldn't be because they had read what was on her weapon, she wouldn't give them the chance if it came to that.

Her hair was once more its natural obsidian color and woven into a braid before wrapped into a bun at the back of her head. She wore a mithril tunic of chainmail that hung nearly to her knees with very small and expertly crafted links to ensure that the armor was lightweight and sturdy and over it she wore a white robe with sleeves that hung to her elbows where they split, leaving the black leather bracers that covered her arms, protecting from the backs of her hands to her elbows. The length of the white sleeves of her robe hung down almost as long as the full length of the robe itself which reached to her ankles. Her legs were covered up to her knees in the black leather of her boots bolstered by shin and knee guards of the same color, the white linen that covered her thighs padded with layers of canvas and a layer of soft leather. While her robe hung open in the front, fastened securely over her torso by numerous belts over her shoulders and around her waist, she wore a black leather cuirass that was reinforced by thin pieces of steel fastened to it. Her shoulders and neck were not left without protection either because she wore a pixane and pauldrons both crafted the same as her cuirass, though these, much like the opening rim of her robe, had the addition of arcane runes etched into the steel plates and all were held to her torso's armor by belts.

It wasn't until she felt the slight squeeze of James' hand that she finally drew her attention away from the battlefield, looking to him as though she had forgotten he was there before a warm smile appeared on her lips, "I don't know if I have told you this already, but you are quite handsome with a beard... very distinguished," she then grinned, the glint in her eye becoming slightly playful despite the situation and stroked her chin thoughtfully, "kind of makes me miss mine."

Seifer swooped down and kissed Renee. "Thank you." he breathed in relief, calmer. "Let's do this, baby."

James looked at Lydia in awe. She's short, but right now, she was taller than anybody. She looked so mighty, like a legendary warrior from of old. And it wasn't only he who seemed to garner inspiration from how she looked upon the battlefield, her battalion also swelled with strength and as they looked at her hammer etched with the name her enemies had come to fear. They thought in challenge to their foes, 'What are you going to do, when she comes for you?'

James smiled. "I really love how you're thinking about beards right now." he chuckled.

The clouds above was dark with storm, suddenly a ball of flames fell from the sky.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

Valdanr, wreathed in shadow and flames, shook the earth when he landed behind his vast army; Mizutsune and the Storm Wall dragons roared their challenge; the giants gave their war cry; and the enemy blasted their war horns.

A cry like a roaring storm blew from the enemy ranks as they charged!

Dark spell circles appeared on the eastern and western flanks of the enemy; the giants came lumbering forward with their javelins to take on the dragons, as their mages summoned beasts of calamity.

[Katsuya]

"Right." Renee muttered, flustered from the kiss but she looked onward. Calm as she can be.

". . . AIM-!"

Chenglei let their war horns cry out as the dragons roared their challenge, his narrowed eyes didn't move from watching the enemies charging forward. However he didn't move. Not yet. Not until-

As Renee pulled her string back, she looked over at where Lydia is standing with her brother. When she looked over, the Pendragon sister gave her a knowing look, grinning wide as she motioned her bow before muttering her spell, "From Light and Dark, we'll clear the way. Ravage our enemies," her gems glowed brightly as her arrow gathered colorful light to the tip. She waited to see the ground change and then-!

"Eta Carinae!"

With Lydia's combination spell, Renee let's her arrow fly and watched the first line of enemies burn as they could not move; the ground they were running on was making them stay in place. "FIRE-!" She commanded the archers. A rain of arrows covered the cloudy skies and brought down the next batch of enemies that followed suit.

Chenglei galloped his horse forward with his katana out, giving a war cry of his own as he lead his men forward to fight.

No more tricks. This will be the final battle that decides the whole war. This is the end.

Dragons flew in from above to take on the giants; Minnie shoots her gun with sun and light bullets once Mizutsume got closer to a giant, holding on to her beautiful pink petal-like fins tightly with one hand as the long dragon attacked with vicious grace. The little gunner aimed at the definite painful weak spots of the giant like the eyes and in the ears and nose to let Mizutsume get the upper-hand. Then she aimed at the dark mages and their beasts of calamity, shooting them with explosive bullets as she slid down from her spot and landed on the ground. When an enemy was too close or touched her, Minnie headbutted them and tossed them to the ground before shooting in their heads.

Echo and her battalion followed Chenglei's example and charged in as well; Echo used her destruction magic to slow down the giants' by trapping their feet in the ground and hammered them on the heads or shoulders. Her men, the ones who can do earth magic, tackled against the beasts of calamity while the men who can fight hand to hand took on the mages. The fawn didn't let her guard down while casting her magic, acidic green eyes looked over her shoulder before she turned around and whacked any of the raging beasts that came her way with her giant and heavy hammer. The earth around her group quaked in her strength.

Renee and the archers lend Lydia and her battalion support by shooting arrows at the enemies in front of them, startling or stunning them enough to let her men to have a free chance to take them down. They charged in with Lydia's group, aiming their arrows and firing them at the enemies again; Renee flew up to the cloudy skies in griffin form before changing into her harpy form and shoot at the clouds that aided the enemies' dark army with her sunburst arrows. Creating a home field advantage as the sun's rays came down from the parted clouds and burn the shades, Renee flew down with the mounted griffin soldiers to aim and rain terror with their arrows, swords, and javelins. She twisted and spun around to dodge a huge javelin from the giants, touching it so it can shrink in size, before she aimed her bow again to take down the mage that gave Chenglei trouble.

The swordsman didn't have time to give thanks as he swung his sword with precision; he had lost his mount and fought on foot. He stabbed forward before kicking the mage off and swung his sword to attack another dark soldier, completing the attack with a lightning covered claw. Chenglei dodged a massive claw, a centimeter closer and he would have been screwed; he cut the beast down with wind sickles before burning it with a lightning strike. His golden scales on his hands and neck shined brightly from the electrical sparks that came from his hands.

Not a single breathe could be wasted in this battle, is what Chenglei felt. As he bursts out from a group of shades that tackled him to the ground with a spin slash of his gleaming amethyst sword, his ash purple eyes kept on their biggest threat. Valdanr. Whenever he attacked with flames and lava, the blonde would order his men to run away from the attacks or if they have fire shields strong enough to withstand the heat, to lift them up and defend before attacking again.

[Roleplay Skittle]

It hadn't really occurred to her how silly it was to suddenly mention beards considering what they were currently facing, of course James' response was equally as silly and Lydia couldn't help but snort at the absurdity of the exchange before she faced him fully and the playful expression she had held a moment before turned solemn if not affectionate, "well it makes sense for me to think about beards when I'm about to do this," she then cupped his chin with her hand and stood on her toes to plant a brief but firm kiss on his lips, a subtle gesture that while brief still let James feel the love she had for him and the faith she had in him. She then smiled to him in such a way that seemed to want to assure him that everything would be fine, a gleam in her eye that was offering James her strength.

Lydia was soon to turn to the battalion that Kenren had assigned her, looking out at them with all the seriousness of a seasoned veteran despite her age. There would be no battles after this, at least not against Valdanr, what happened here would seal their fates, it would seal the fate of the world. She couldn't help but wonder how they would fare, how many of these soldiers would be victorious and go home to see their families when it was all over. How many would fall and be remembered as heroes not just by those who knew them personally, but also by those that had never met them because if they fall, they would fall defending the whole world. They would fall protecting the future. Lydia's serious expression soon warmed and she offered them a hopeful smile, "in this moment, we don't just fight for those we love. We don't just fight for what we know. We fight for life and the right to a future."

Her little moral boosting speech was then interrupted as the gleam of fire from behind caught her attention and she turned to look over her shoulder only to hear the deafening roar of Valdanr as he descended from the sky in all of his terrible glory. Lydia didn't flinch, she held her shoulders back and her head high as she glared at him, his own awful sound joined by the cacophony produced by all of the other giant creatures that were fighting on either side accompanied by the blaring of horns. The corner of Lydia's mouth quirked in a slight smile and she shook her head before she shouted the word 'Amplify' to bolster the sound of the allies' voices so that their side could drown out the side of their enemies. The sound of her own voice roared over the others as she called on the ability granted her upon her awakening as a guardian and let the enemy army hear her own battle cry.

Though once the vocal displays of dominance had ended and the enemy began to charge, Lydia held her arm up to stay the battalion that followed her once she heard the call for ranged warriors to aim their weapons. Not all were ranged and she didn't want to send melee fighters out into battle only to be struck down by their comrades. She glanced over to where the call had come from and met Renee's eye, she nodded in understanding, a slight smirk crossing her lips as the archer gestured with her bow and at the same time the spell was spoken by her, Lydia spoke her half as well, "From Light and Dark, we’ll clear the way. Ensnare our enemies, Sagittarius A!"

The young witch was sure to target the spell a safe distance away from their own troops, there was no sense in blowing up their own so using these powerful spells conjointly at the start of a battle like a gunshot was probably the safest time as well as a good place to lower their foes numbers before they met the allied army head on.

From then on it seemed like utter chaos had ensued. While bodies collided from both sides, cries of wrath and pain heard through out along with the roars of giants and dragons alike echoing loudly over the clang of steel on steel and distant explosions of cannon fire. Arrows whistled through the air before the sickening sound of pierced flesh followed by bursts of surprise from the ones struck.

Lydia did her best to freeze the enemies as they came head on, it was an unfair advantage being able to impose her will on the opposing army like that, but all they meant to do was impose the rule of a false god on anything that was alive, and that was simply unjust, Lydia would not have it. Whenever she would fail to stop their foes in their tracks, she would use Sagittarius A to stick them in on the spot and at times she greatly favored exorcising any fiends that were nearby with a well placed strike of her hammer.

When she looked around at the battalion that had followed her and saw the men that were following her friends, despite their situation she couldn't help but smile before she would clobber the next enemy. They needed to fight together, to fight as one. They needed to show Valdanr and his misguided minions that good and order would win out and that the people of this planet would not falter, they would not let the darkness take over.

"Charge!"
​

Surprised, James smooched Lydia back, hugging her tight quickly. He's going to marry this woman.

When the horns sounded Seifer let loose his arrows at Renee's command. He was with Renee's elite guard, riding on armored griffins as they watched her back. The mass of shadowy shades below cringed from the sunlight, as at the same time they were blown to smithereens by her and Lydia's combined spell casting.

"Sirus Gigantica" yelled Seifer as he flew past Echo. If the fawn was willing, the spell would make her grow as big as a giant.

It was pleasing to see, that being out-roared by the alliance army through Lydia's spell shook the enemy. James cast his protective charms into the sky where flaming meteors shattered against it from the warlock giants. He sat in the protective palm of a dragon in the air, in the utmost concentration. He had thousands of bees scattered in the battlefield, and they were all his eyes, ears, and mouth. And with them, he coordinated with everyone.

He told his friends where the enemy's most troublesome warlocks were, where the snipers were hidden, and who their leaders were, and each important foe they felled crushed their enemy's morale.

And then suddenly, Renee saw a swarm of blue fireflies storming her way, freezing everything in its path; at the same time, Minnie saw a ghostly black blur darting through the fighters heading straight for Lydia, as the witch too saw something silver streak through the air for her head.

Echo's ears perked up when she heard Seifer's spell close by and when she felt the magic around her, she willed herself to let it happen; she grew as big as a giant. Blinking and thinking how everyone on the ground looked like ants in her point of view, she grinned in a friendly way before giving an axe kick on a giant's face, hoof first. The earth beneath her cracked and broke from the force the giant was pummeled into.

"Thanks Seifer!"

Echo felt like she won't be a possible victim anymore to the giants. They'll be on equal grounds. As the giant fawn took out her hammer, making the size as big as it possibly can before swinging it around to whack some other giant's chest, she decided to owe the archer back when this whole war is over.

Renee's orange eyes widened when she a very familiar flurry of blue fireflies and halted in her flight. Before the attack could reach her or the armored mounted guards behind her, her wings flapped open once and it grew bigger like a deathwing's. Then she gave a might flap to blow the icy fireflies away from her and her men behind her. She changed, free falling and cupping around her mouth with her hands to screamed a command: "Scatter! Help the others and follow James' direction!!" before she changed back to land gracefully next to Johnny who was the closest one she saw.

Blowing the enemies around the pair away with her wings, Renee let her arrows fly without seeing the shades fall to tell Johnny "I saw Serena's attack! She's here!" Her orange eyes looked around and-

"There she is!" Renee pointed at the blonde who's...who's....

"...What did they do to you, Serena?" She muttered in distress as dazed blue eyes stare back at her, much to the Pendragon's heartache.

Meanwhile, Minnie whistled, hidden under a dead giant as she watched Echo grow bigger and kick butts before the little sniper aimed at a troublesome enemy James spotted with his bees. He's helpful and she will always appreciate it. So color her surprised when she looked through her rifle scope glass, she saw a familiar blur of black...and he just aimed his kunai at-!

Peeew-! Peew-! Pew-!

Her bullets hit the ground in front of Seth and a burst of light exploded from the impact, blinding those around it. The little gunner decided to break the bad news to the oldest Pendragon. "...Big brother Jams, I found Seth. Tell Lydia that I have her back." She frowned worryingly, her teal blue eyes narrowed before looking back in her scope glass again.

"...Seth is not looking like himself either..." This is the first time Minnie has seen anybody being possessed before. She was utterly confused as to why he looked so...dazed? "...His eyes are weird..." If this happened to Seth, what happened to Sen?!

She looked at her special gloved hand that held her rifle arm, the corner of her frown twitched up as she remembered something and took a deep breathe. Then...Minnie ran to the witch to stand beside her. "...I guess I owe him a slap..." For that one time they gave her a beard back in the pirate's cove-!

With a triumphant swing of her hammer, Lydia fell yet another shade and sent it back whence it had come. Though the motion of her body as she turned into the swing and completed it did not stop because once the shade she had been facing was downed, she caught the glimmer of something shiny out of the corner of her eye. The bright white of her robe despite being tarnished by the battle, whipped around her as she fully turned to face the silver streak that flew towards her, every movement she made fluid as her free hand was raised in a fist as though she were using her forearm to block and she called upon her Algiz runes to protect her from the unknown projectile. Once the sound of the object striking her magical shield reverberated off the glowing bowl that blocked her front side, her arm was immediately readjusted, a look of anger crossing her features over the sneaky attack. She held her arm outstretched in the direction the object had come from, shooting her fireballs off as the explosion of Minnie's light bullets occurred, her brow relaxing as she developed a slightly perplexed expression when Minnie came to stand beside her, especially considering the statement that the little gunner made upon her arrival.

Minnie stared back at the witch, her expression revealed nothing but her words say a lot. "...They gave me a beard..." Then she aimed her arm and shot at the calamity beasts that were coming in their way. Her explosive bullets hit, creating a bright light that usually comes in explosions. Her teal blue eyes spotted glowing arrows coming from her....left?

Those arrows hit the group of beasts as well.

"Roger, I'll go with you too, Minnie." said James' voice to the gunner. But he didn't go down. Somewhere up there Kenren was telling the eldest Pendragon to stay where he was and not sacrifice the war for one battle. Just trust Minnie, Lydia, Johnny, and Renee.

"We'll protect you!" said Seifer, and he and Renee's company fended off the foes that could interfere with their fight; There were thunderous snarls as the beasts of calamity came storming their way, only to howl in deafening pain from explosions and arrows of light.

ROAAAAR!

Johnny transformed and a great fluffy dragon collided with the giant flaming cougar, and they destroyed everything in their path as they wrestled, jaws snapping and claws slashing.

Lydia had no time to be distracted --- BOOM --- blackness, pepper smoke bombs that stung the eyes and burned the throat exploded right on her shield that shattered, as at the same time, a searing pain ran up her arm. Something ghostly blurred past her so fast it was lost in the smoke as quick as it appeared.

No time to breathe, it came back again! The two ladies in the smoke were barraged with a rain of steel, as orange sparks flew from the rapid shing, shing slashes of Lydia's attacker; It was wearing a demon mask, but there was no mistaking those eyes, that hair, that lithe form, those throwing knives. It was Seth.

Up above, a lady wearing a death mask was facing Renee atop a winged monstrous shade. She carried a familiar violin and her terrible songs were laying waste to the allies with ease. A storm of red and blue fireflies surrounded her after she rose up from Renee's strong gust of wind.

She pointed her bow at the archer in challenge, then played a nightmare song; the fireflies charged like a scorching wind.

Lydia's expression didn't change, she still looked confused, but there wasn't really time for that because suddenly she was being bombarded by familiar attacks. She had been invaded by Valdanr before, she knew what it was like to have to fight against him and it occurred to her that the one doing the fighting didn't always win. Coughing and squinting her eyes shut as her shield shattered, she still held up her arms defensively, crying out as she felt the pain of a hit received as it shot up her arm. She breathed in between her teeth, her brow furrowing.

Ever since she had rejoined Howl's family and started on this journey, she had always thought she would be able to face down any enemy no matter who they were in service of the greater good. She had never thought that one of those enemies may turn out to be someone that she cared for, someone that the person she loved cared for. She gritted her teeth, steeling her nerves as she thought about what she could do. She could only assume that the one attacking her was Seth, maybe she could put them on equal ground while she tried to figure out what to do.

After giving Seifer an appreciated smile, Renee changed into her harpy form, trilling in alarm and flying away when Johnny wrestled with the flaming cougar. Dodging the large and entangled mess of bodies. Then she aimed her glowing blue arrows at the giant calamity beasts, many of them landed on her targets.

Her orange eyes looked over where the deadly violinist is, narrowing when she realized the challenging gesture. She coo-ed lowly and puffed up her feathers in an angry huff.

She heard gun shots from her right and saw the bullets explode on another calamity beast, bring it down to the ground.

"Pretty Prince is right; Stay there. We can take 'em." Minnie said calmly to James as she reloaded her arm rifle.

- Paroosia -​

For a bunch of powerful summons everybody expected to cause calamities, the three giant beasts were quickly and easily subdued by Minnie and Renee, and now the army were looking at the gunner in awe as well. They had no idea she was this strong too.

"Titan Hunter!" They called her and a loud cheer ran through the ranks as the armies advanced. They were now pushing the enemy back to the walls of Paroosia!

The fluffy dragon roared with the crowd. "Seth, Serena!" thundered Johnny desperately when he saw the familiar attacks of his captured friends. "Stop, that's Renee and Lydia!"

He was so big, and so in a moment he had transformed to himself in mid-air so he wouldn't hurt the two, and shot spells at them, "Polymorph!" jets of white light streaked for them. "Baremu Felis!"

Poof

Out came Ginger, his giant bushwhisker cat and he mounted it in mid-air, as he watched his spell miss Serena, but at least Renee safeguarded herself; below, Seth ran so fast the pull of Lydia's spell couldn't catch him on time, as masses of enemy soldiers and giants were pulled together into a black hole. He circled, uncannily dodging arrows and gunfire --- there was something in his hand, some dark artifact, and as he came closer and closer, it emanated an evil smoke that surrounded him until he looked like the misshapen silhouette of a shade raising his wicked blades to strike ---

Poof

"Baa!" Lydia was hit by the soft wool of an auburn sheep with orange eyes. "Baa?" it looked confused as it looked at her.

"Yes!" said Johnny as he slowly fell down from the sky on his cat. This cat could land safely from great heights and he was happy --- BOOM!

A deafening explosion, burning, searing pain split his back. He knew he was dead; There on the walls of Paroosia, Valdanr had shot Johnny down with a fireball.

[Roleplay Skittle]

Lydia's confidence had taken a hit. Or maybe it wasn't so much a hit to her confidence as the fact that she was overcome with hesitation. It was Seth. Seth was attacking her. Her casting wasn't as willful as it may have otherwise been because she didn't want to hurt him even though he was trying to hurt her. She knew it wasn't really him, she knew that outside of his pranks, Seth would never really harm her. She couldn't help but think of James and Renee, and what they might think if she hurt their brother. The only person that she had spoken with about her feelings towards all of the fighting and death had been Chenglei and that had been some time ago. It was like she knew that this moment might eventually occur. She knew that it was possible that they wouldn't always be facing off against people that they didn't necessarily know nor care about. But this was Seth.

Once more Lydia's arms were put up in front of her defensively, her hammer still in her right hand as she scanned Seth over, noticing the artifact in his hand just as it began emanating the shadowy shroud that began to engulf him. She wasn't sure what it was but she assumed that it had to be some sort of piece of Valdanr and was likely what was controlling Seth. She stood firm where she was, holding her hammer tightly in her hand and preparing herself, she didn't want to hurt Seth but maybe if she was focused enough, she could get that thing out of his hand. It was then that he moved towards her, but the impact was not something that she had expected because rather than feeling something sharp or painful, she felt something soft and when she realized what had happened, she was looking at a pair of sheep eyes.

Immediately she looked around, realizing that it was Johnny who had saved her, her gaze caught him falling from the sky on Ginger and she began to smile, but the gesture was quickly cut short as Johnny was struck down by a fireball shot from Valdanr himself.

"Johnny!!!" Lydia gasped in a shrill shriek, panic suddenly striking her, Johnny had risked himself to help her. She felt a mixture of emotions at that moment and her first instinct was to reassert herself with the Seth sheep, she couldn't let this opportunity go to waste and so she raised her hammer, aiming at the hoof that was now holding the dark artifact she had spotted before and taking a mighty swing towards it.

Minnie watched with wide and horrified eyes as Johnny fell to the ground, burnt from the fire ball that came from the giant evil dragon. Gritting her teeth, she looked over at a sheep Seth who's hoof just got hit by Lydia's hammer and quickly ran over. She raised her palm with the special beard glove, that Sen had given her before, into the air and aimed on the twin's cheek-

Slap-!

The little gunner panted hard as she stared at Seth straight into his brown-orange-y eyes, a frown of frustration and worry etched in her face. She didn't say anything, her lips quivered as she sniffed before wrapping her arms around the wool-y twin. "....." Minnie quietly begged for Seth to come back to normal as she squeezed him in her hug. "Please Seth."

Meanwhile Renee squawked when Serena managed to hurt her after missing Johnny and her blocking of the first fireflies' attack. Her narrow eyes didn't leave the possessed Serena as she pulled her bow's string back. Her gems glowed blue as her arrow glowed brightly...

Then taking a deep breathe, the winged Pendragon let her arrow fly as it multiplied, towards the winged monster that's holding Serena up in the air, piercing through the creature, and making it fall down. She flew to catch the blonde violinist whom she scratched up a bit with her arrows.

" Victory! "​

The moment Lydia looked towards Johnny, Seth bleated and wiggled out of her grasp, back flipping out of the reach of her hammer. As he took another hoofed step, he pulled out a sharp kunai with his teeth. "Baa." Then threw it towards her!

SHATTER

The crystal in between his hoof shattered from Lydia's mighty swing, as the blow sent him stumbling, his loose mask falling. "Baa!" The evil left his eyes.

Slap

A wooly beard sprouted from his sheepy chin. Then he was hugged. "Baa? Baa, baa?" the voice sounded confused and frightened, looking around at the chaos and sounds of battling clamoring through the air. "Baa! Baa, baa!" Seth seemed back to normal, he looked like he didn't know what was going on as he looked at Minnie then at everything else.

Serena fell from the winged shade she stood on, surprise in her eyes, as a black something was torn from her back by Renee's arrow and shattered into wisps of light. She was confused for a moment, before she realized she was falling! Her head whipped around, but she had dropped her violin when she fell. The winged shade seemed to understand what had just happened, and dove for the violinist claws outstretched.

Meanwhile, the dragon whose palm James was sitting on was racing to where Johnny and his bush whisker cat were falling. "Johnny!" he yelled desperately. "Get away from him!" he snarled, livid with anger as archers shot at him and the dragon breathed fire at the winged monstrosities.

"Echo, catch him!"

[Katsuya]

The little gunner didn't let go until she heard the different tone in Seth's baa-ing, leaning back to see his frightened expression. "...You're back-! Thank goodness." She leaned in again to hug him tightly. Then she told James through his bee that Lydia and her got Seth back to normal...as normal as he can be since he's a sheep. "We're in the middle of war at Paroosia. You were...I think, possessed...so is Serena..."

Talking about the blonde violinist, Renee's eyes widened when she saw Serena looking around, her falling violin disappearing in mid-air, and that monster that held her up is trying to grab her again. So the Pendragon pointed her hand at the winged monster and used her shrinking spell, making it small enough to be a mouse. "Ha!" She said smugly, whacking it with a slap of her hand before catching under Serena's arms in time and flying back to where she saw Johnny falling.

Meanwhile Echo was fighting when Valdanr shot a fire ball at someone, so she didn't see who he was shooting at. When she heard James screaming for her however, the fawn turned her head a bit to peek over her shoulder and saw-

"Johnny?!" She panicked, quickly leaning over while twisting her body, one hand slamming hard on the ground enemy archers while the other hand reached over for Johnny and his cat summons to land in her palm. Safe and away from anybody trying to hurt him some more. "Renee?!" She cried out, looking for the winged archer and spotted her carrying...Serena?!

Her green eyes blinked, confused herself. How did-? When did-? Okay.

"Wh-what's going o-on?! What's happening?! Why is everyone fighting?! Ren?!!" Serena sounded panicked, her azure blue eyes widened as her pale face became a shade paler. "Seth?! Where's Seth?! Sen?! Ren, I saw your-!....Is...Is that a giant Echo?! Oh my-! ..... It's official; I'm a monkey's uncle..."

"Coooo~" Renee responded comfortingly as she landed on Echo's cupped hands. The bee that was hanging on tightly in Renee's feathered head flew out as she dropped a very weakened Serena down on the palm first; she sat down on her bum as her legs are trembling like jelly. The blonde violinist recognized the bee belonging to James and gently as she could with shaky hands cupped the bee to talk with James. "J-James? W-What's go-going on?" She asked as she watched Renee change back and summon Mica who proceeded to nuzzle the entertainer. "Th-there's something I have to tell yo-...."
