[color=Gold]Mentions/Interaction:[/color] Queen Eleanor, Sweyn Thunderspear [@Force and Fury] Caelum [@RezonanceV], Maerec [@Dao Ma], and Camille [@Pirouette]

Arsène stared the older man down as if he was not going to move, Sweyn Thunderspear, for every legend he was, he was also a rather imposing man. From one moment Sweyn went from wallowing in a pit of his own despair, to then spewing words slicked with poison and then a provocation for battle. Arsène was never showing a sign of backing down however, he looked Sweyn dead in the eyes as the moment Arsène was to take hold of the blade to his side, Hell broke loose.

A thunderous [i]thoom[/I] shook the very earth, the sky, and the very hearts of men. Arsène looked to the direction of the sound and al that could leave his mouth was, [color=gold]"Bloody hell"[/color]. It was a sight that seemed as if hell had let loose their gate keeper, a large dark beast cut through the night, darker than the night it self, and spewed fire that was brighter than the day. It was a beast that incinerated all in it's path, smoke never appeared from the initial fires, no, it was as if the fires themselves burned the air, smoke, nothing was left. As the beasts wings flapped, the wound within the earthen mound spewed smoke that seems to mask the sky and blot out the stars, as now the dragon above was the only thing producing light, that and the fires it creates.

Arsène looked to the creature and all he could do is watch in awe. It was as if hell played a sick joke on them all, as they wanted to turn the table upside down. Yet it seemed Heaven had other plans, as rolling thunders came in, as if the Heavens came to punish the Hells. Streaks of light punched through the darkness, illuminating the beast held within the blackness the sky has became. Arsène noticed the rider of pure white riding with such tremendous force that every step his horse took it seemed to crackle the ground with power, as that was when his feet began moving. 

Arsène ran forward as he put his fingers to his mouth as he whistled, as he made the sound become loud enough to even pierce the thunderous sounds of the gods. Arsène continued to run until he noticed from the corner of his eye his trusty steed, Blackthorn, made his appearance. Arsène took hold of the rein and leaped up and landed into the saddle as he began riding off, using Essence and Force to give his steed and increased speed. Blackthorn made great strides forward, charging into hell, as with every lightning strike and roar Arsène could feel his steed become nervous, so he filled Blackthorn with Essance to calm him and allowed him to charge forward without worry.

Arsène quickly broke through the lines of fleeing people, as he knew 1 of 2 things, this dragon dies or they do. As Arsène strode forward he witnessed every Lance of Lightning rip it's way through the sky as it smashed against the Hellish beast above them. Lance after Lance, as Arsène did his hardest to just close the distance, yet as he neared Sweyn and his explosive power, he felt his body begin to fill with such energy and he felt as if he was to puke, which after the fourth lance of lightning was let loose Arsène did as he tilted his head to the side and let it out as he was riding. Yet once the final one fell, Arsène heard the roar of armies, cheers erupted from behind him as Arsène saw for a moment the Devil fell from the sky, and so too did Sweyn.

Arsène was much slower at the moment, the release of energy was enough to affect him, especially from how close he was to the sorce of this maelstrom of energy. Arsène was overtaken by Queen Eleanor as she charged forward to Sweyn, as the moment Arsène made it to Sweyn, Arsène saw the terrible state Sweyn was in. Thoughts ran through his head, [color=gold][i]Gods what should we do? We have this monster in our hands. Maybe we can use this for our benefit. Maybe we could even force the Eskandr to-[/i][/color] Arsène was cut off from his thoughts as a [url=https://youtu.be/29yUiAZEGiY]roar[/url] silenced everything. Arsène turned his head and all that could leave his mouth was, [color=gold]"Good Fucking Gods"[/color].

Arsène watched as the Hell Beast ripped itself from the earth and came to bear down upon Arsene, Queen Eleanor, and the small army that followed their Queen. Arsène watched the inferno coming down onto them and was surprised they were spared. Brimstone and Hellfire seemed to have only scorched them in slight measure, but it almost seemed unintended to kill. Arsène felt the heat, is was close, yet far with all things considered, as the radiant heat seemed to burn the skin, yet Arsène did not falter. Arsène watched the Beast fly off, and a thought of leaving crossed his mind, yet he remebered who they had in their grasp.

Council was called, Arsène rose up and gave his piece, [color=gold]"Queen Eleanor, that Demon is right now sleeping in a lake, I believe hitting it now would be our only time to hit it and stop this beast from rampaging more"[/color]. Arsène looked to Sweyn as he took a moment, [color=gold]"It did take quite a powerful Sorcerer to injure it on his own, yet now it is wounded and on the ground-"[/color]. Arsène then looked back to the council as he then continued, [color=gold]"To bring a beast like that to the ground is a feat, and one we can use. If not as an actual weapon, a tool. The Eskandr will want one of their greatest warriors back, so we can at least force them to negotiate terms for their Prisoners, and if more so, we could even strong arm them to…"[/color]. Arsène stopped for a moment as if he remembered something as he sighed, Arsène looked to Sweyn once more as he remembered what the man said. 

Arsène sighed as he looked back to Eleanor with some more clearity, [color=gold]"I don't think we can find any aid in our enemy, for them they will not find this any threat to them and their own. As they are not here just to claim land, they wish to destroy Parrence-"[/color]. As Arsène winced, he looked to Sweyn as he continued, [color=gold]"-To the very soil, to the very last bone. No matter the cost, to them or their Humanity. I believe the best we can do with Sweyn is use him as a bartering tool, other than that, I believe we should take on the beast"[/color]. 

Arsène seemed to have changed in demenor, less like a worried man and more to a hunter as he began to speak on how they would try t deal with it, [color=gold]"If we were to hit it soon, with it sleeping in the lake and the beast seeming to be steaming the water, that would mean that it must be unable to regulate it's own heat, like when you are unable to sweat and you start to over heat. We might be able to either take it down, or at least force it to leave if we use fire and heat to our advanatge to fight it."[/color]. Arsène then realized he had taken up much of the 3 minutes as many are looking at him like he is some kind of bug, so once Arsène gave this piece, he cleared his throat as he began to take a step back to allow others to give their onw ideas. He did feel like he did overstep slightly as he hogged a good bit of the talk, yet he had quite a bit of things he wanted to say. Even now he was building a plan in his mind as he spoke for that bit of time.


[hider=Arsène's Plan if Eleanor asks him to elaborate] 
[I]I wrote this because for some reason I'm terrible at time management. Who would have thought I took an entire class in College on this?[/i][hr]

As we don't have multiple Gifted at the caliber of Sweyn here, we will need to defeat it through overheating it, slowing it down and then possibly fully taking it down.

Firstly, we would need to force it from the water, or in this case take the water away from it. So we would need to dedicate some Gifted to creating trenches and outlets from the lake to out let the water from the lake. The more the better. 

While those Gifted work on the outlets, we will then dedicate the majority of our force to cutting down trees, while having other users of the Gifted bore a hole through the center of a tree log about 1 hand wide length wise.

Once the tree logs are prepared all around the lake, we will use Essance Energy and Arcane Energy ignite the trees and to stoke the flames of the trees and making them into flaming projectiles before launching them with Force energy into the Beast. 

Then we start to barrage it the logs to cover it in the shards of wood and surround it with them. As we do this our Gifted will stoke the flames further and cause an inferno within the basin of the lake and cause a greater heat. 

We will then use our Gifted who were making outlets to then to constantly stoke the flames as half of our non-Gifted prepare to intercept the beast as it tries to inevitably escape, while the other half continues to chop down tree to add more fuel to the fire.

We will have a constant sorce of energy as well will constantly use Arcane and Essance to constantly increase the heat, if we have any flammable materials we are willing to pat with, like oils, fats, anything sticky, then the heat can reach greater heights while forcibly sticking to the beast.

When time comes, we will all need to push ourselves, so the inferno would then need to be focused on the beast, as we would need to all take some control and begin focusing the heat onto the beast, and hopfully through our work we can create something strong enough to possibly cause it to die from heat exhaustion. As killing it through Brute force doesn't seem like something we can do with our forces.
