There was a Jehannan Knight standing in front of a building. He hadn’t moved, even as the sounds of multiple wyverns came from nearby, people dashed about, fighting had broken out and Commander Zane was shouting orders to surround the enemy… Yet despite all this, the Knight had not moved. Why, you may ask? It was fairly simple. He had been told not to move an inch, no matter what. No matter what, he could not move from in front of this particular building. This became a point of pride for this specific Knight. No matter what happened, he would not move- [color=915a54]‘WOAH-!’[/color] … An inch. A wyvern named Kergin came flying out of nowhere, crashing into the Knight and moving him [i]exactly[/i] one inch. While the impact had shaken the Knight, Kergin would find that neither his claws nor his teeth could penetrate the man’s armour. He’s going to need Isolde’s axe for that. Except… Isolde’s not on his back anymore. [color=915a54]‘WHY, HOW DARE YOU MOVE ME!’[/color] the Knight shouted back, gripping his lance and thrusting it at the wyvern assaulting him. Now, Kergin has decent padding to him, but the thrust onto his stomach still pierced a bit and drew blood, indicating that he was definitely at a disadvantage in this fight. While it’d probably suit him fine to be a huge unstoppable dragon, that’s not going to cut it here due to him not being a huge unstoppable dragon. [@Rune_Alchemist][@Lmpkio] And these two crash into one another and fall off the mount and into a pile on the ground. Have fun recovering. +4 Support points. The Soldiers on the north side of the houses saw this and saw it as their chance, dashing forward to take advantage… when the first one suddenly found darkness rising from the ground to punch into him from all sides, his armour helping naught as the spell of darkness took all wind out of him, and he staggered back while the other hesitated to go through with his attack. Aldo had ran by and cast a spell from the other side of the wyvern and two collapsed riders, staring down at them with a deep frown. [color=607196]‘… What are you doing? Isolde, I recommend you tame your beast before he unintentionally kills us all,’[/color] he told, no-nonsense personality shining. [@Eklispe][@Apollosarcher][@Crimson Raven][@Lmpkio] Meanwhile, Marwood apparently went off to attack the Soldier through the second lane while commanding people to follow him. However, Kara meanwhile headed off the first lane while telling people to stay close to her. [color=abcf29]‘W-wait!’[/color] Viridia looked off in both of their directions. [color=abcf29]‘I can’t stay close to- EP!’[/color] Viridia suddenly found herself pushed forward after Marwood. [color=faf173]‘Go with Sir Renais!’[/color] Osmund told her proudly. [color=faf173]‘I shall protect the miss!’[/color] Saying so, he turned and clampered after Kara. Viridia threw about a flustered look recognizing the slight issue with communications in the current group, but… [color=abcf29]‘… Agh! Fine!’[/color] she called, before running in a hurry after Marwood, not catching up on account of being on foot. Marwood rode forth at this one enemy Soldier. Said Soldier noticed and prepared to counter… except Marwood was by far the more skilled combatant, easily avoiding the Soldier’s lance and delivering a blow back. However, he wasn’t quite able to take the enemy out in one attack. The Soldier staggered back with the wound, and then noticed the shuffling Zane right next to him. [color=915a54]‘Commander Zane…!’[/color] the Soldier gasped out in relief, like that his commander had just arrived to save his life. Marwood could tell, this man was more powerful than the rest. This man in armour, somewhat handsome in his appearance, straight back and a fierce determination and the way he held his lance, this man was a bigger deal. He looked to Marwood, seizing him up… [color=d45e50]‘Nope. You’re not him,’[/color] Zane stated and then turned to keep running. [color=915a54]‘C-commander!?’[/color] [color=d45e50]‘BEAT THEM DOWN, BOYS! I’LL BE GOING AFTER THE WYVERN, AND INZANE!’[/color] Zane said, while dashing in behind a different lane, the one where Kergin was brawling with the armoured knight. [color=d45e50]‘There you are…! Now, where’s your rider…!?’[/color] In any case, seems like Marwood’s relatively home free minus the injured Soldier ahead of him, because the three below were focused on the figure dashing at them from the lowest lane. That said, there were more Jehannan troops approaching. Kara dashed west towards the group of enemies there. The first one, a Soldier stepping forth to deal with her, brandished a smile and a lance as he intended to take a stab at her as she came running… except this is the point where Kara suddenly morphs her form to come out as a dragon and his lance goes clinking off her scales for dramatic effect, is it not? Be it with claws or with fire, the first opponent before her is swiftly dealt with… and the rest are staggering back and wide-eyed at their sudden opponent. [color=915a54]‘D-DRAGON!’[/color] [color=915a54]‘What’s a dragon doing here!?’[/color] [color=915a54]‘We’re not equipped to fight dragons!’[/color] [color=915a54]‘S-someone send word to the castle!’[/color] [color=915a54]‘I-I’m going!’[/color] [color=915a54]‘No, wait, I’m the one who’s going!’[/color] They were collectively staggering back… yet one of them stood forward, smirking widely. [color=915a54]‘Hawhahaha… My time has come…’[/color] The Fighter raised his axe at Kara. [color=915a54]‘HEAR ME, DRAGON! I AM JAPHET, WIELDER OF STORMBELLOWS, AXE OF THE HERO GRADO! IT IS YOUR FATE TO BE SLAIN HERE BY MY HAND! LIE SLAUGHTERED AND BECOME THE BEGINNING OF MY LEGEND!’[/color] he called out, obnoxiously loud. His axe was really shiny, though, seemingly glowing with power and having a bunch of finely crafted details on it, looking mighty sharp. The same could not be said about the wielder. [color=915a54]‘LET’S GO! HYYAAAAAAAAAH…!’[/color] He dashed forward, Stormbellows held high above his head as he jumped to attack Kara with an overhead slice… Both him and his axe are useless. Kara may deal with him as she sees fit. Noteworthy though, the strain from her last battle is already making itself felt. Kara won’t be able to maintain dragon form for long this battle. Osmund, who’d run in behind her to supposedly protect her, came to a stop behind her as he clearly wasn’t needed. He was looking somewhat amazed.
