He moved with Vali and the few rangers they had left to begin the back up they had to this. They needed to move quickly, they had very little time as Horik's last act had bought them time to regroup quickly. And now they moved across the many burned windmills, farms, even along the paths. Kol silently gave thanks to each of his men who completed their tasks, they heeded his wishes, burn as they go, it was guised in the idea of burning the Witch Woods down, yet this was the main objective. Incase all else fails, they would need to use the fires, the energy of the storm, everything to hide. Kol needed it most as his energy has been known to fluctuate in certain patterns that made him very easy to spot. As Kol and the small force had headed towards the Parrench fortress as he began to observe the enemies. Watching as their energies moved, shifted, Kol understood how they concentrated their forces, and knew where to concentrate their forces to drive them against the wall. As they moved, Kol's energy rose as he focused himself, he spoke few words, he gave orders quickly and told them where and how they will hit the wall. Once they neared the wall, Kol pulled in as much energy as he could, drawing in the ambient heat and fires, the energy as the rain fell, as his mind once more begins to be filled with beasts who rampaged and destroyed all in their path, trees, boulders, walls, men, and all in between. As Kol was but a moment away from the walls, he charged forward at the wall in a roar, as the moment he made impact he smashed his body against the stone walls. As he shifted and started charging across the wall and ripping it apart, sending stone everywhere. Breaking down sections of the wall, as he made it to the door and smashed himself into it. AS he lights everythign ablaze, making fires, smoke, and just to instill fear into the defenders. A he began to hear the horns sound, Kol knew his mission was done. Men and wood burned, stones fell and pulverized, and they began to sound the horns that they recall the troops. Kol made his way to Vali to collect him so they could quietly move away. Their work was done, they were needed else where, and they could not fight the army alone. As they moved away from the walls and gates, Kol slowly let out his energy again, almost becoming a stealthy shadow among the waves of those with the Gift. As they moved, Kol and Vali were able to sneak their way to Saint Defrois' Rock and were about to make their next move. Kol and Vali were preparing to leave the area and meet with their allies and send a final strike through, then Kol felt Vali yank him by his arm. Both he and Vali rolled as rocks began to rain. Vali noticed their assailants instantly as he launched an arrow that seemed to meet the mark as a roar turned to a yell of pain. Kol turned to the yell as the rocks rained onto Kol, Kol took in the energy of the impacts as he moved and noticed the tree dweller. She was the one from before so that means the Spider was near and the moment he felt energy underneath him, he knew she was here. He balled up his legs and shifted his body to ball up and use his armor to take the brunt of the surprise attack. As the spikes of iron rose, Kol's armor broke the spikes upon impact, as they rose him to the air. As once the last of the energy had been expelled and the spikes rise no more, Kol knew it was time to reach. Kol used force energy to shift himself mid-air as he was multiple meters off the ground and he aimed himself towards them and launched himself towards the weaker of the two tree dwellers, Lyen. As Kol was about to make impact with the Tree Hugger, once more energy appeared and walled off his attack and sent a chock through him again of energy recoiling to him. He landed and shook his head as he felt someone get close and said something akin to go to sleep. Kol scoffs as he swung his hand at hers as he goes to kick off away from her to go back to a normal stance as he tries to nullify the energy within him and says, [color=crimson]"You'll have to try better than that darling"[/color]. Yet the tree hugger grabs onto him again and this time seems to sink her magic into him, Kol decides it's time to attack, as he swings a fast and furious punch at Lyen's lower chest to either throw her far away from the force, or blow a hole through her. The punch seemed to have knocked the sapling down to the ground, then some few feet away. As She clutched her chest as she fought to regain her breath, unwilling to fall again, Kol looked down to the woman he punched in the gut as he said, [color=crimson]"Do you give-"[/color]. Yet before a response could be said he felt a roar of energy. Kol looked up to the Spider as he stared her down. She seemed to have pulled from everything: the stone, the rain, the wind, and the thunder. She pulled the heat from the fires and the life from the grass. Then...she casted a beam of pure energy that ripped through the night. He stepped to the side of the fallen Tree dweller and then stood his ground as the beam lurched out to engulf him. Kol brought his hands back as he prepared to grab the lance of light. Once it neared him, he threw his hands out and grabbed onto the lance itself as he absorbed all it energy. As the moment he was to finish he ripped his hands away as if he tore the Lance apart. As he stood his ground and never moved as he said, [color=crimson]"If you leave with her now, then the wounds will not get worst"[/color]. As he pointed at Lyen from a bit away. It seemed the Spider was not even one to bother responding to him. She looked to her wounded companion and said, "If you wish to leave, sister, you may. I can take care of these two myself." Her gaze returned to Kol, unflinching. Kol looks to Vali as well, seeing what is to come and says, [color=crimson]"Vali, same to you. Flee if you must, this one is mine to dance with"[/color]. Kols gaze lands back onto Tali's as well, knowing once it is settled, they will launch at each other without restraint.

Heat was starting to almost leak out of him as he prepared to launch himself at Tali. He spoke out in a voice that almost reverberated and projected further than normal, [color=crimson]"Let's Dance"[/color]. As Kol began to step forward, he saw the Spider raise her crutch and extend her blade to impossible lengths at Kol, as Kol shifted himself away. Yet it flew a speed far faster than expected and slams into his armor and shifts to his side as it slices into his less armored area. Kol did not react though as right when he was about to leap he felt a rush of pain through his body. He gritted his teeth as it felt as if his whole body flared up in pain, as he howled and roared. He fell his grip on the very close balance of sanity and madness slip. The cages in his mind were broken, the beasts were free. Kol dropped low as he launched himself at Tali with such force that the ballista on the coasts would look like they were kids throwing stones into the water. As he aimed to be as low as a boar and aim for her legs and take them out from underneath her. As he hurtled at her at an impossible speed and she seemed unable to draw all of the momentum from him nor cleanly dodge fast enough. She managed to twist somewhat, at least, to protect her single, essential leg, and his armored shoulder took her instead in the stump. Pain pulsed through the Spider, then, and she knew the tiny bone was broken. Gritting her teeth and biting back a scream, she hopped back, all of the rage, panic, and pain fueling her. "Die, you bastard!!!" She grabs hold of him in a Force grasp, her aim to crush him like a bug. As Kol slid from his tackle he felt for a moment a pulse of energy surround him as it whipped him up into the air, and squeezed with everything that the girl could muster it felt like the world was trying to crush him. Yet Kol roared against the attack, as he pushed the energy away from him with his very voice. Yet pieces of his dragon armor was beginning to be ripped apart and into weapons to smash into him and pierce into his body. As his bones snapped and organs punctured, he was dying, yet very his rage increased until the point were his roar grew to almost breaking everything. The energy he was producing was able to shatter the walls, melt stone, and It almost dulled the sounds of victory: three blasts on a horn. Then, another three. The immediate call to retreat. Yet it was not for him, it was the Parrench's call to flee. Kol was dropped as it seemed that his opponent heard the sounds and was to retreat as well. Kol was lost in his rage, the energy he was producing was out of control, as even when he landed he was absorbing the energy of his landing. As he saw the Spider running, he began to stand, and fell. His legs were shattered, pierced, and contorted, yet not even the gods would stop him. Kol looked to them and it seemed he used magic to put them in place, he was not known to be a blood mage, so it must have been the use of force magic. As they flexed and fitted to a placement that would be even usable, Kol roared out with such energy it drowned out the cries of victory and terror. The very ground underneath him shattered, and the sky even rumbled and quaked to his anger. Kol's helmeted head faced forward twitching as it looked to the wall of the city that he saw the Spider had fled to. As he drew all the energy he had and was ready to launch himself at it with such force, that he was unable to contain it within him as it began to seep out to the surrounding area. He was aiming to blow a hole through it where he thinks the enemy would have ran. Yet before he could launch himself, someone stepped in front of Kol and tried to stop him. Kol looked up to see…
