Okay Lucius' arrival has just tipped the balance somewhat, I think it's time Livia breaks out a few more tricks.

Now I've just got to work out which one? Mwahaha!

@Karos

Has it really though? From my calculations you have the prince, Livia, Naya, and vampire stalker as children of the dark. Then its just Lucius, Aurora and Octavia for children of the light. Carson and Mozu count as both sides in my opinion.

If we break it down even more;

The Prince and Livia are really the only combatants on the children of dark side. We can't really count Carson and Mozu as evil beings and the witch is just there, along with the vampire.

Meanwhile, Aurora just spent all her magic, Carson is naked, Mozu is a dog who probably won't fight and Octavia is out for the count. So that leaves old Lucius to save the day.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Lucius had been walking in the forest for awhile and was about to use a spell to find Octavia but then an intense explosion of light- no, that was magic, went off a few hundred feet away. He prepared himself for the confrontation with the enemy, knowing full well what could happen. Once he neared the location, much to his surprise, there was a group of odd people fighting one another within. The only child of light he could see was a faerie, against what could only be, a wraith. It looked like she had just expended all of her magic and would not be vulnerable.

There was also another female standing with a skeleton near, she looked messed up to say the least. Then there was the man, no doubt this was the prince of darkness- the one who took Octavia. His death would bring him great joy but where was Octavia? He saw the guard from a day before, how on earth did he get there? He followed the rock he threw at another skeleton and Lucius found horror. Mozu was right next to it, how did she get there before him? His gaze then fell upon the skeleton that had its foot on something, red hair and a white wings. Anger swelled up inside, that was how they treated hostages? Is that how they treated his princess!

He stepped into the clearing, his posture was erect and his facial expression was one of pure hatred. The air became statically charged as sparks danced across Lucius and his staff. The Knight of Angels was pissed.

With his free hand, a small ball of lightning formed within the palm, it grew to the size of a helmet before he it ejected from his hand right towards the skeleton that was standing guard on Octavia. The hit was violent, the skeleton was blasted apart from the impact and its limbs went in every direction.

He then looked at the wraith, another ball of lightning started to form in his hand. He gave a dark grin as he shot it at the creature of darkness.

@RiverMaiden Of course Lucius can. Warning though, Lucius is basically a lightning bender so I'd watch out.

Did Lucius seriously just ditch Mozu to find her where he is going?

@Ace of flames01 Maybe that's what I want you to think

Lucius had not been running for long when his mind became invaded, actually he was just on the outskirts of the town. Thoughts that were not his own echoed throughout his mind, a message from the King! Finally, after all that had happened upon that day, the king was finally regarding Octavia's disappearance and tasked him with finding her. But... he had to go alone and he was aware that Mozu had been following him in dog form.

He stopped to catch his breath and waited for Mozu to arrive, or at least get close enough to see him. He picked up a stick and began waving it around, baiting the girl to follow it.

"Who's a good girl? Mozu is a good girl! Now, go fetch the stick!" Lucius said in a higher pitched voice. He then threw the stick as hard as he could into a some trees nearby, he did not wait to see if she ran after it but instead ran in the opposite direction towards the border.

It looked like he would need a horse or some form of transport to get him their much quicker, at his current pace it would probably be over an hour and by then it would be to late. He quickly made his way into the town and after some quick talking, secured a lovely black horse from a sergeant. The drove that horse into high gear and was on his way.

--

He arrived at the border in under the hour but the horse would go no further, if not for the exhaustion then for the darkness itself. He stroked the mane, turned it around and sent it back into the Kingdom of Light, someone would find.

Lucius sighed, this would the second time he crossed the border within forty-eight hours. He took the plunge however, for if he did not try then the king would have his head. Oh the things you do for royalty.

Joy.

Lucius was taken aback by how nonchalant Mozu was towards him. When she went behind him and started sniffing he got up quite suddenly, as if panicked and turned around to face her but slowly backed away from her at the same time. His cheeks were bright red from embarrassment and he looked incredibly nervous.

The whole "he smelled good" thing was really creeping him out, but he knew it shouldn't. After all, Mozu was a werewolf and that was natural right? No! of course it wasn't natural, she was a werewolf that could turn into a dog and was actually friendly towards him, instead of wanting to rip his throat out. So why was he still slowly backing up away from her? Maybe it was the fact that she could bite him at any moment and turn him into.. well, a dog? He shivered, paranoia was overcoming him because of such a strange girl and Lucius grabbed his head, thoughts coming wildly. But that was the problem, he knew nothing about her or what she was capable of and if she bit him, then it would all be over and he would loose his title and he would lose his home and he would lose his light! He let his hands drop to his side as he looked at her, he needed to run.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Lucius needed to get away but where would he run to? Would she follow him? Oh by the king this was all to much for a day!

"I-I-I-I'm L-Lucius," he stammered uncontrollably, there was a wild look in his eye. "I-I-I-I n-need to g-go t-though. Uhhh, n-n-nice to m-meet you, M-Mozu but uhh... need-to-go-now-thanks-bye!" his last sentence was barely comprehensible as he turned around and started to run away.

Lucius did not really know where he was going, he just let his legs carry him away. He cringed, he hoped he had not hurt Mozu's feelings but that was just how he was around things that he did not have a sense of control in, especially a werewolf that was completely different from the norm.

So since Angels are all supposedly pacifists, have they fought in the war as soldiers? @Ace of flames01

Time seemed to go by slowly as the townsfolk searched for survivors. Lucius was among the group and managed to find many souls who would live on. He also found those who would not be so lucky and for that he became bitter for a time. He knew that these people didn't deserve this, they were meant for much more. What got him the most was knowing that these people had families of their own, and their loss was as much his own.

Eventually aid from the palace finally arrived in full force. Fresh soldiers came to replace the tired troops, healers came to apply fresh bandages and a host of supplies for the relief effort came in carts. Lucius was finally relieved from his labor for a time, he needed a break and a quiet place to just rest and collect his thoughts.

He grabbed some water from one of the carts and walked to the outskirts of the town, where hardly a soul remained. The water soothed his throat, minus the fact that he didn't like to drink water, Lucius finally felt a bit better. Memories came back to him of a time where he once tried to swim and almost drowned, after that he went without water for almost two days because he was afraid of it. His parents finally had to force him to drink so he wouldn't die. A smile pursed his lips, he hoped his parents were alright. They were out of the way of most battle sights and for that he was thankful. Then he thought of his baby brother, now that was a different story.

Lucius took another drink of water, taking in the sight of the dog turning into a girl- wait... He almost forgot about the dog and now here it had just turned into a naked female who quickly put on a burlap sack. Needless to say, Lucius choked on his water and spit it out, beginning to cough right after.

What the hell! The dog was a werewolf the entire time, or was she a weredog? Lucius was so confused but at the same time saw no threat in the girl who was obviously oblivious to what was actually going on, or that's what he thought anyway. He finally stopped coughing and then found himself barraged by questions.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Hold on a minute! Are you telling me you've been a dog this entire time? What are you? Who are you? And no, I don't think fetch would be appropriate right now, by the way." Lucius said quiet surprised and intensely curious.
