[color=00aeef]”I'll distract them, they are looking for Water Fae after all,”[/color] Aliya replied with a smirk. [color=00aeef]“I'll cloud their vision and you guys crumble their walls.”[/color] Aliya bounced off towards the main road, [color=00aeef]“Then we take out the trash!”[/color]
The wetlands slowly began to become forest to the north of town. Spots of trees and shrubbery started popping up along the way. They were partially suspended in water at first, but the regular forest wasn't far beyond. Aliya made sure to stick near the plant life knowing the Legion of Earth Fae weren't far and she'd try to duck around them. She figured they'd set up Rock Triggers all over so going around would be difficult on the ground but thanks to the forest a quick climb through the fog she was about to make.
Aliya stopped and ducked behind a tree as soon as she saw the pseudo-fortress that they were making. A series of rough walls made of stone, she could see three on top and a two pacing the ground level. They were definitely warriors of Turfirius. They wore the ceremonial masks but the typical Earth ceremonial robes had been modified for combat.
[color=00aeef]“This area is known for fog right?”[/color] Aliya chuckled as she started using her abilities as a Water Fae to roll in a fog from the other side. She looked to the others with her, [color=00aeef]“They'll be on high alert so be careful. I'll go around and draw their attention. See you in the middle!”[/color] Aliya winked and waved as she jumped up and ran through the treetops. She quickly made her way around and took to the road just outside their clarity of vision. She hovered her hands one hand over the other as snow started forming between her hands, [color=00aeef]“Weapons of purity forged by ice cold passion, Frozen Forge!”[/color] The snow flurry between her hands formed into a sword of ice as she spread her hands out. She walked closer into their view with confidence. She realized the other two were on the ground on this side, making all seven accounted for.
[color=fdc68a]“You don't look like a member of the Legion of Azurius!”[/color] One of the Earth Fae on the wall voiced. She didn't wear the hood like the rest allowing her long thin ponytail to hang free and her uniform seemed a bit more extravagant. She nodded slightly and two of the Earth Fae on the ground walked wide around Aliya trying to see if she really was by herself and to surround her.
[color=00aeef]“Looks can be deceiving, I assure you I am,”[/color] Aliya didn't move. Her eyes were fixed on the one who spoke. [color=00aeef]“Safe to assume you are the host of this party?”[/color] The two Earth Fae behind her made a signal to the one above.
[color=fdc68a]“Yes, and you were stupid to come alone,”[/color] she scoffed. [color=fdc68a]“Consider this a celebration of your death.”[/color]
[color=00aeef]“Looks can be deceiving, remember?”[/color] Aliya pointed her sword up at the woman. [color=00aeef]“You see showing up to a party alone is kind of boring.”[/color]
