The pale-haired shadow knight gazed upon Slayer expecting to see blood spurting from his every orifice or to guide him to the ground in his death throes, but the man did not cringe or crumple over. He instead uttered an unbothered sound that made every hair on the knight’s body ferally stand on end. Frightfully, the shadow knight jerked back, ripping his psypher from the man’s stomach and swiping it to the side to free it of blood. Whatever creature stood before him, it wore false skin. At the vampire’s mention of Brigan, Oswald’s face became hard and wrinkled with anger. So this was one of Brigan’s warriors? A hiss escaped his teeth as Oswald suddenly felt nervous. If Brigan had sent the man to fight him, then surely he was planning to target the castle. The shadow knight’s red eyes swelled to the size of saucers when he noticed a burning fist in his peripherals. The vampire’s fist would pass through a black wisp as the shadow knight suddenly vanished in the same manner of haste he had appeared. His voice echoed about Slayer, dissipating on the air: [color=8882be][i]I don’t have time for the likes of you![/i][/color] [hr] One of the fairy bowmen drew a small knife from a sheath at her hip and swiftly sliced through the roll that had been flying for the enchanter’s face. Where Quina had once stood, the grass turned black, shriveling on plumes of smoke before it erupted in a pillar of fire that spread along the trees. Burning leaves and splinters rained from the boughs as the battleground became engulfed in flame. Flying out of the fire trap was no longer possible without getting singed in the inferno. Quina unintentionally got her wish as the fairies dropped upon the ground and took cover behind the burning trees. The enchanter’s butterfly wings wafted the flames, keeping them from touching her as she started a second spell. Again, a red magic circle appeared beneath her feet as she whispered into her branch. The fairies weren’t aggressively advancing on Quina and the Valkyries. They were waiting patiently, allowing their mage to nuke Team One’s units. The Valkyrie that had been hiding with Quina bit her lip when the hero ordered her and her team to attack. The fairies had them out-numbered and pinned - even more so with the fire engulfing the woods. She was growing anxious. They were sitting ducks waiting to be shot and killed! She glanced over at her comrade. The two made eye-contact and nodded. The two sword maidens hurdled over the rocks and logs they had been hiding behind. With their spear weapons raised, they swiftly charged the Ringford ranks, weaving between the burning trees. The archers fired on the warriors with extraordinary precision. The two Valkyries did their best to deflect the arrows with their bucklers and swipes from their spears, but the accuracy of their shots eventually met their mark. The moment an arrow struck one of the Valkyrie’s in the thigh, her leg gave out beneath her, sending her collapsing to the ground. Before her body struck, a second arrow pierced her face and her body exploded into purple stars. Quina would see firsthand how beings died in the world of Erion. The second Valkyrie met a similar fate, but was able to impale one of the archers with her psypher before they both erupted into stars. It was a desperate attempt, but a fire shower was soon to follow.

The missile detonated between the dark swordsman and Brigan. The fire engulfed the two, temporarily obscuring them from sight. [color=a0410d][b]Raaah![/b][/color] General Brigan bellowed. His hammer clenched in his massive fist rose out of the flames as he brought it down on the shadow knight. Oswald had been about to dodge until the kick from Mudsdale’s High Horse Power caused the stairs to tremble beneath his feet. The knight staggered and barely had a chance to block Brigan’s hammer with his sword. The weight and power behind Brigan’s hammer smashed Oswald into the steps. Stone erupted underneath his black armored body, and the general with his bearing teeth and burning eyes wasn’t about to let up. He rapidly hammered the knight. Oswald bore his teeth as he continued to guard against the general’s pummeling assault with his health decreasing. The knight’s eyes flared a bright red before his body turned into a black smoke that swiftly darted out from under the general’s hammer. As Oswald rematerialized, he swiftly raced up the stairs toward the terrified bunny, grabbing her by the paw. General Brigan had drank from his horn and puckering his lips, a stream of fire left his inflated cheeks, rising up the stairs after the fleeing characters. Oswald managed to make it to the second floor before he released the Pooka and ordered, [color=8882be][b]“Go to Gwendolyn’s room and lock the doors. Guard her with your life!”[/b][/color] The frightened rabbit nodded and hopped off to the princess’s bedchamber. In a fit, General Brigan stomped his feet, shaking the entire castle. Glancing back at Team Two, he roared in frustration, [color=a0410d][b]AM I FIGHTING THIS BATTLE ALONE?[/b][/color] Oswald appeared at the top of the smoking stairwell, glaring viciously down at General Brigan and his party. [color=8882be][b]“Come to steal the ring? I see you have help this time. Do they know you plan to kill them once you obtain it?”[/b][/color] Oswald asked. General Brigan gazed back at Oswald and growled, [color=a0410d][b]“I plan to stop Demon Lord Odin with it. He is on his way here, Shadow Knight. If you had any sense you would not get in my way!”[/b][/color] [color=8882be][b]“I am no such fool like the ones you employ. Your greed would destroy Erion much slower than what Odin would do, but the results are still the same. If you want the ring, then you will have to go through me.”[/b][/color] Oswald pointed his sword at General Brigan and waved it over Team Two. [color=8882be][b]“I will destroy your entire army if it means to protect Erion and my wife from you.”[/b][/color] General Brigan grinned wickedly, his fist creaking as he gripped his hammer furiously tighter. [color=a0410d][b]“So be it, boy. My army of heroes will make short work of you!”[/b][/color] [center][h3][u]Team Three[/u][/h3][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/5nRYdPN.png?1[/img][/center] The shots fired by Fox struck down a black Valkyrie. Unlike the Valkyries Team Three had previously seen at General Brigan’s side, these Valkyries were dark. They were pitch black with red eyes that gleamed like fire. Black flames rose off of their wings as they followed Odin like crows. A second collapsed from the sky, causing a unit of ten Valkyries to slow and gaze upon the forest canopy. Now aware of the assault, they dodged around the pilot’s fire and drawing their wings in, swiftly descended upon him. The remaining units continued to follow after Odin. The Demon Lord did not seem to care or even react to the fire his units took. It was clear his intentions were to reach the Abandoned Castle. Shrieking like banshees, the Valkyries dove into the trees like pelicans into the ocean. Leaves leapt about them as they submerged, chasing after the agile Fox and violently swinging their spears with enough strength to rend the trees from their trunks.
