Demise: Demise estate

Eduardo turned and walked back to where Anna was, with the other clones. He could feel night creeping in over them and new that soon the Darkthorne's greatest ally would arrive. The cover of night, the Darkthornes basked in the darkness of their own hearts. He could only imagine what they'd do in the blanket of night, he realized now what they'd been doing. They'd merely been waiting for nightfall to come, so they could become stronger. Even as they wore down the defenders weaking everyone so that they could eventually rise up and crush them. He could hear forces coming in from east and west, one of his clones reported back to him. The gnolls had arrived, he knew it, they'd been weeding out the defenders, wearing them down.


Eduardo looked to Anna, he had worn himself out in the battle that he been waging. Eduardo didn't need sleep, but he could use a few moments of meditation. Eduardo said, " I think their reinforcements have just arrived, if the battle doesn't end soon...we might lose this fight."

A chill ran through her core. Was a spirit of vengence hunting down the remaining Demise family line? "Ghost cannot kill can they?" She asked Sidius with distress, her eyes moved down to the Prince and back up to the bodyguard, reflecting the fear that he held for Vahn.

Cordelia barely had time to process the brutality of the attack when her cousin materalized. She almost jumped out of her skin. Cordelia cousin's kind words threaten to undo her. She squealed throwing her arms around Calesta and sobbed kissing her on the cheek. "Cal!" She exclaimed thrusting Calesta into powerful embrace. "I thought you were in Camelot!"

Calesta brought hope. She was the most talented healer in any land; and if anyone could cure Vahn, it will be her whether  the afflicition was mind, body or spirit. Reluctantly releasing her, the lady-in-waiting looked down at Vahn. "It looks very bad. Do you feel that he could be moved again safely? Tell me what you need -you have carte blanche for anything if you can help him."  Honor was going to be devastated so they need to move Vahn to his room quickly and clean him up before she saw him.

Face-to-face the resemblence between Calesta and Cordelia was remarkable. The rain had taken the fashionable curls out of Cordelia's hair and she had not had time to change in her formal gowns. In a simple tunic and straight platimum blonde hair, the cousins sat like mirror images. As children they saw things that one one else did, gifted with True Sight, and heighten intuition before they spoke to adults the girls created their own language. They cried the day that Calesta's family moved away. Time has a way to healing. When Cordelia began studying Streghia, she scryed keeping her eye on her beloved cousin as she became an accomplished healer in the Camelot court.    

All through the apartments the ladies went from room to room started with Honor's, searching out the soveriegn. "Queen Honor! You Majesty come quick!" Knocking on locked doors, each lady was responsible for a section of apartments. None wanted to deliver the bad news to the Queen least they rouse her mecurial nature -and her wrath.

Grey hues widened as the Darkthorne King's left arm - now fully healed - came swinging around from behind his back, fingers rising up to the White Wolf's throat to seize the flesh there and tighten like a snake. There was little the Knight was able to do to stop the surprise attack, his scramsax locked with Prasutagus' axe. And so, the Darkthorne King had the Knight where he wanted him. For the moment, atleast ... Einar felt the tight squeeze of Prasutagus' hold, felt his lung begin to ache and burn from the lack of oxygen. The warrior would not be able to last like this for long, he needed to do something ... fast.

"You fight with courage Einar, but you should learn the art of surprise and trickery."

The warrior's face etched in a half-smirk, half-sneer as a low growl rose from deep within the White Wolf's chest. The red dust's effects were leaving, the powers unto which the Thornes possessed returning to them. That was the only explanation ... And so, Einar dealt the Darkthorne King a surprise of his own. Blood began to trickle down the chin of the Knight, dripping down from within the White Wolf's mouth. A few droplets of warm blood trickled on the floor as well, falling from the Knight's hands. And then, the steel of his armor began to moan as his body seemed to grow. Hair protruded from his jawline, even as the throat in which Prasutagus grasped began to thicken, layers of expanding muscle lessening the effects of the King's choke.

And then ... then black veins began to rise up upon the pale facade of the White Wolf, and his grey eyes flashed to silver just before the Knight would send a vicious knee upwards, the steel armoured knee-cap heading straight for Prasutagus' gullet, if not to wind the Darkthorne King, then to atleast send the man reeling back a few steps. And, should such happen, and the King's hold on the White Wolf's throat lost, the warrior would smirk towards Prasutagus, whilst rubbing at his throat, his scramsax having fallen to the ground as the men would part.

" ... I told you, Prasutagus ... I hide nothing ..."

The Half-Blood would then slip his boot under his fallen scramsax, and send it flying up into the air so the warrior could catch it, bringing the weapon into a negative grip along his forearm.

She placed a kiss upon Cordy's cheeck as she got one. It was good that her cousin was pleased that she was there.
She exclaimed thrusting Calesta into powerful embrace. "I thought you were in Camelot!"
"I was watching over one that was healed when I got a feel of pain. When I realised it was not me I sent myself to you. Seems that you could be need of extra hands."
Slowly Calesta looked Vahn over getting a feel for his injuries. "I rather not have him moved but have seen they heal better when some where familiar. Once he is clean I will have a better idea just how bad they are. I will be in need of herbs, warm water and bandages, rest will come from him and I."
She looked to Cordy with a smile upon her face. "Do not fear he will be fine in a  few days. Just who is this man that you want me to help, if you do not mind me asking?"
It felt good to be with her cousin again, Calesta would stay here as she was needed. Thou it will send the people there for a loop seeing the two together.

Prasutagus rubbed his gullet, as he backed up away from Einar, his eyes flashed black. Black veins coursed their way up his left arm, slowly making their way along the left side of his face.

" I shall show you the powers of old, show you boundless pain that will carve away your very sanity."

Black wings emerged from Prasutagus's back as a third eye opened up on his forehead. His flesh became grey as he felt the dust being flushed from his system. His black hair grew longer as dark circles appeared under his eyes, his armor and clothing strained underneath the awakening. Prasutagus looked to his left hand as the black veins pulsed. He could feel the old power course through every vein, he felt invincible.

" Now Einar noble warrior of Velusia and betrayer of Belgada, it is time for this battle to conclude itself. I have matters to attend to with your queen before I cut off her pretty head."

Prasutagus stepped foreward, ready to begin the battle again, for he knew Einar would not go down so easily.

Longinus looked back to Tempest not sure whether it was wise to just leave her there. He sighed it was a shame he had to do what he did, but she was going to kill him. Longinus got up on the dragon's back and looked to Raven, his eyes couldn't betray his feelings. He'd fallen in love with her, she cared so deeply for someone who suffered so much. If he had a chance, he'd repay her for everything she'd done for him.

" I hope she finds peace wherever she maybe be."

The grip on her arm followed by the words of Isolde had her momentarilly stunned. Her gaze shot the grip then to Isolde's grim and determined expression before finally she shook both off. Wrenching her arm free she moved to stand toe to toe with the north woman.

" I follow the ways of Gaia, Paladin of Whitethorne. Though your god may be holy, I can not simply leave my people when they need me most in order to do as you say your god has deemed I do. My place is here, in Velusia, with my family and my people. Now either help me to help my people or leave..but mark my words if you get in my way again..I will not hesitate to remove you from my path."

A slender rose at the sharp words of the Velusian queen. In fact, she smiled at the bravado the smaller woman showed. Tilting her head down, blue eyes pinned glittering amber ones as she spoke.

" You are more worthy than I previously thought. As you wish...my men and I will defend the gates and get them closed. We will aid you in this battle..but know this,"
Gripping Reinne's shoulder to ensure she had her undivided attention," We do not let go of our prospects so easily."

She released her grip on Reinne allowing the smaller woman to attend to her task. As the Blackthorne rushed off down the stairs of the battlement, she turned to her knights with a stoic expression.

" Secure the gates. We will aid in this battle ....then we will claim what we came for!"

Reinne's expression did not change. She merely nodded mutely and took off practically flying down the stairs. Nimble feet and agile form had her weaving through the remnants of battle within the city as she jumped over dead bodies and twirled around combatants determined to get to Einar.

The fronts doors were kicked open revealing her slender silohuette in the dawning light of the rising sun. Quickly she took an inventory of everything and everyone in the church hall only to feel her heart stop at the sight of her son and Sigonus.  Before she had the chance to stop him Lucan was rushing at Prasutagus's back prepared to defend Einar.

" NO!"

Reinne leaped on a pew and dashed across the tops tackling her son sending both of them skidding into the wall with him protectively in her arms. The force of the hit had her winded. Wincing she sat up, gripping her child's shoulders.

" Are you alright?"

He nodded.

" I was going to help him Mama."

She smiled glancing warily at the battle about to engage between Einar and Prasutagus.

" I know little one. You are very brave. I must ask you to do something for me."

He nodded while looking toward the two engaging in battle with wide eyes. Reinne quickly gripped his chin bringing his gaze back to her.

" Take Sigonus to the Castle Demise. I need you to keep him safe my son. Will you do this for me?"

Lucan nodded obediantly as she quickly drew him into a tight hug, her eyes falling on Sigonus in silent plea to play along.  Pulling back she smiled and kiss his brow.

" Now go. I will be there shortly."

Lucan took off as she watched him grabbing for Sigonus's hand to lead the elf out of the church. Her gaze was drawn to Einar once again, those amber eyes taking in the sight of him in his half lycal form with a bit of sadness and fear. She could only pray he did not fall in this fight..she did not think she could bare to lose the man she loved. Luther had been difficult to bare she had always loved him in her own way..but Einar...this was the man who truly held all parts over her being in his grasp, the only fault in this..was...he did not know.

Her brown eyes get on the back Phantom, then turned to the one that stood beside her. Raven figured that Godiva or Rycore brought on of the Blackthornes to her. But her eyes opened wide seeing Meredith standing there looking to her and gazing to Longinus at times.

"Why are you here in the midst of this battle? It better be good for we have already lost famiy this day."

Meredith glanced up to Longinus the back to Raven. "Belle had gotten word that Tempest was looking for you. For she thought that we needed to find you and give you heads up. Thou it seems that you have been busy, not talking of the battle either."

Raven's eyes went looking over the battle being that Belle was not with her sister. She looked back to Meredith "Are you saying that as we stand here your sister is out thre fighting? " As she let out a sigh Raven shook her head wondering if they thought it out. She reached back placing a hand on Longinus' leg. "This is a Lonignus a good friend of mine that has been fighting this battle with me and others. Longinus this is one of my daughters, Meredith."

Here eyes went up to Longinus lowering her head, "It is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for helping keep her alive." Meredith looked back to her mother.

"I am going to take him some where to get his wounds looked at. Stay here, I will return then we can go look for your sister. Then there is news that I need to give you two. " She reached up gently touching Meredith's cheek. Raven turned then got up on Phantom, she took the spot infront of Longinus."I shall see you shortly."

Meredith stepped away from Phantom so not to get hit by his wings. Then watched as once more her mother put business before her. She turned and stood beside Darius.

Raven gave Meredith smile as she gave Phantom a command to take flight. The dragon took to the sky as Raven looked for a plce they would be looking after the injured. She followed the path to the manor, Phantom landed near Joie. Raven got off Phantom and looked up Longinus.

"I never thought that you would meet Meredith, sorry she does not exactly like me."

More just using the extra body as a place to steady herself rather than lean on, Anna looked up as the first one of the Eduardo?s approached. She only glanced at him, for her perceptions changed and world of Demise walls and a fortified gate fell away inside her vision. It then that she looked past the Eduardo standing in front of her, as if she were staring through him towards a landscape currently covered by Darkthorne?s. It happened on occasions such as these times of prescient  perceptions. She stared at the new landscape as if she were the only one on this battlefield.

Darkness enveloped this place in her mind. Nightfall was not apart of this darkness as she saw the scrounging vermin roll over the wall and through a gate as it were precious silk to be torn through. Eyes as red as there hatred seemed to pour down on her and file through what was the city, the estates, the very stones of Demise. The very ground under their feet became a dark pool of what they brought with them-corruption in such purioty defeated everyone and everything in its path. Yes they were coming and they were going to corrupt, destroy and ravage anything in their way. This was  a desolate and devastating place in her vision that caught her off guard.

An arm around her waist tightened as she swayed leaning more heavily against her savior. Those wide opal eyes stayed with the vision trying to pull it back in reverse, to find the weakness that would tumble all of these citizens in not just darkness but also corruption. Anna pushed this vision backwards her breathing coming in heavy gasps, but it would not move backward for her. Anna knew that if she could not manipulate the vision in such ways that the force in them was strong, but not impossible to defeat.

Letting the vision go she found her nails were digging into the arm of the clone holding her in his protective grasp. Noticing this she immediately let go of his forearm focusing on him first with a soft apologetic look before she moved to listen to what Eduardo was saying. Prescient moments such as this were a flash of time in current situations but the events inside them ran forever sometimes. Yes we might lose this battle and she kept this vision from Eduardo. It would only fuel him harder and faster. Anna recognized his need to conserve energy, doling it out in measured pieces of himself. Now more than ever she felt like a burden, for here were three of his clones just to watch over her when they could be fighting.

Lifting the arm holding her in a steady position, Anna stepped forward to Eduardo. Light fingers lifted up from her side, her palm rested on his chest.

~I can do one thing to help?.~

Already within his mind a sense of her grew  slipping into a layer were the clones relayed information and stacked up reports. Anna could see very strings of life stretch out into a spider?s web network of clones and tasks. She didn?t cut him off complete from these sections of himself. However, Anna simply placed herself where she could gain the reports first organize them and also relay a soft message back to the clones. Essentially, Anna placed herself in a position where Eduardo could enjoy a soft silent place within himself, to rest and collect himself again. His clones were still there, however they were a set of mumbling voices to keep his connection to them. Anna took over for a few moments relaying information, giving sharp but simple commands and allowing him a chance to rest. It was up to him to allow her to do this or not?.

Reese could feel the emotions of the battle rise, he couldn't sit here and wait. He had to go and make sure his children were safe, that they had not perished. Reese's form began to blink in and out as he concentrated, traveling across the distance to Demise in a heartbeat. Reese appeared there on the battlefield looking at everything around him. There was so much death and destruction, his mind flashed back, he relived all the battles he'd been in. Every battle in just a few seconds, they all blurred together, Reese was watching the land he loved be destroyed before his eyes. So much had happened and the tree was still covering the lands of Velusia with it's balance. Reese reached to his belt and drew his long sword.

" I will not sit by and watch anymore.."

Reese ran forward towards a large group of Darkthornes, the group didn't even get a chance to react as he ran through them. Their formes began to seperate vanishing as he continued to run towards the city of Demise. A blade came down where Reese was running, but he had vanished. From behind the large Darkthorne, Reese appeared, his blade plunged into the beating heart of the enemy. He turned and saw Shamus in the distance, Reinne was surrounded by allies, she was okay, but Shamus was in the thick of it all. Reese made his way over to where Shamus was fighting Merlindria, he slid along the ground, the mud almost threatening to cause him to fall over. Reese looked upon his son and the female, Merlindria was of Eseer's blood. Eseer was Reese's evil clone created by his brother Desmond to take over Reese's life.

Reese watched his son who was not in control of his mind currently, Shamus was lost to the pulse of battle. Reese turned to Merlindria's liches and began to walk towards them, his sword down low as he lept up into the air, he brought forth a holy magic enchanting the air, as he used a psionic force to throw it down at the liches. As Reese came down to the ground, he turned and began to cut his way through the Darkthornes. Reese would keep Shamus protected along with the Zalentrian kinghts, he trusted them in helping protect Shamus.

Bomahr nodded to his queen and cousin as he put the horn back to his belt. Bomahr turned and made his way to one of the gates, the Darkthornes were slowly turning the tide against the defenders. Bomahr grittted his teeth and lept down into the fray. He brought up his shield slicing open a Darkthorne from stomach to chin, as he turned and thrust his sword into the right eye of another. Bomahr looked up at the musketeers as they fired down on the Darkthornes. Bomahr picked up one of the pistols and looked it over, he'd heard of these weapons. It served no purpose to him, it was a coward's weapon, but once the holy touched was placed upon it. Bomahr's hand glowed about the weapon as he turned and pulled the trigger. A blast of holy magic shot forth hitting one of the Darkthornes in the head. It's head exploded and Bomahr grinned, he put the pistol into his belt. It now was a good close quarters weapon.

Bomahr took out his flask of holy water and drank of it, turning he spewed it onto the crowd of Darkthornes. They screamed as their flesh burned, Bomahr waded back into the midst of hell. " Arrrrhhhh!" he kicked a Darkthorne over onto it's back and stomped on it's head crushing it. Bomahr stood atop a pile of bodies fighting each and every Darkthorne that ran up to greet him. A large Darkthorne, whose blood was of the north, came up, Bomahr shouted at it, " Rrrreeeaaaarrrrrrrhhhhrrrrr!" the two titans met atop the hill. The Darkthorne batted Bomahr's shield away and then his sword, Bomahr disarmed the Darkthorne likewise. Now the two stood atop the hill with only their fist, they traded blows back and forth.

The sun began to set behind Bomahr and the Darkthorne, night was creeping over the battlefield. Bomahr was hit hard by the Darkthorne, his lip bled and Bomahr fell to his knees. The Darkthorne laughed as it reached down to take up it's weapon again. Bomahr wiped the blood from his lips with his right hand and smiled up at the Darkthorne. Their eyes met as the Darkthorne's hand was just inches away from it's weapon. Bomahr launched himself up from his knees and wrapped his arms of corded muscle about the Darkthorne's form. The Darkthorne matched Bomahr's strenght, Bomahr let out another one of his holy battle cries, " Heeeeeahhhhrrrrrrgggghhh!" His arms tighted about the Darkthorne's form as his vein pulsed, his skin glowed.

The Darkthorne headbutted Bomahr, Bomahr headbutted it back and looked into it's eyes. His look was one of fierce determenation as the sounds of cracking slowly came to his ears. The Darkthorne fell back screaming as it's form went limp in Bomahr's constricting embrace, the Darkthorne's feet hung in the air. Bomahr tossed his enemy's body down, it rolled down the pile to the feet of the other Darkthornes. Vultures circled over head, Bomahr beat his chest and roared looking down to the other Darkthornes. They all began to rush up the hill, an army against one Whitethorne, Bomahr reached down picking up his shield and sword as they came. The tiger would greet them with it's teeth and claws, Bomahr lept down atop the mass of enemies. His large form waded into the them, the pile of bodies became swarmed as Bomahr drowned beneath the mass of enemies.

They climbed atop one another, a pile of bodies thrashing about atop one being. A loud battlecry echoed out as a white light pierced through the dog pile of bodies. The Darkthornes minions went flying back as Bomahr stood there covered in cuts and bruises, his arms out and head back as he let the cry echoed to heaven. The Darkthornes that had piled atop him began to burn with holy flame as Bomahr's head looked down on them. " The goddess protects me!" Bomahr stood atop the pile of bodies, waiting for more Darkthornes, each one fell as another came, or one of the dead rose. The Darkthornes swarmed the pile once more, their hands reached out with claws as Bomahr raised his sword. They clawed at him, it was like a scene from hell, a tortured soul being dragged down by the lost souls of hell itself.

Lightning struck Bomahr's sword as he slashed through the enemies, sending a powerful line of holy force through them. He cut them back down and stood there, he knelt down as the Darkthornes kept their distance. There upon the pile of bodies, he knelt down in prayer, saying a blessing for the fallen warriors who died fighting this evil, saying a prayer for the lost souls who were cast into limbo. The Darkthornes circled the pile as he knelt in prayer, archers came running up. Bomahr stood up and looked down onto the Darkthornes like a grim figure of battle. The archers surrounded the pile and a voice called out, " put your weapons down and surrender yourself Whitethorne, so that we may bring you to our master as a prize."

Bomahr stood there in silence as they waited for him to reply, Bomahr did, " Eeeerrraaaahhhhgggggg!" he came rushing down the pile towards the Darkthornes. Arrows were fired, one pierced through Bomahr's armor into his right shoulder, another his left upper leg. Another arrow stuck into his chest, another his stomach, three more into his back. Bomahr would not be stopped as he cut into the first line of these archers. His shield arm reached out and his hand grabbed one of the archers by the shirt and threw him into the rest. Bowstrings snapped as he looked back at them with defiant eyes, the tiger would not be taken alive. Nor would the tiger be caged, he would cut them down where they stood. Within minutes they were down and the more arrows were jutting out of Bomahr's form. He climbed atop the pile of bodies and knelt down, his sword plunged into the hill.

He knelt there not moving, his large form covered in arrows merely knelt as if in prayer.

Sigonus nodded to Reinne he wouldn't disappoint her, he'd watched her grow to a fine young woman and good queen. Sigonus turned to Lucan and said, " come help me get to Demise castle, together I'm sure we can make it." Sigonus turned and gave a look to Reinne that said, " please be careful" and then he looked to Einar and Prasutagus. Sigonus exited the cathedral with Lucan as they exited he heard a sound. Dellrend the shadow elf was getting back up, wiping the blood from his lips. Dellrend smiled and walked towards Sigonus and Lucan. Sigonus raised his staff and took up a defensive position, he wouldn't let them be taken now.

Dellrend: " Careful there brother elf, I might take that as a sign you want to play with me. My mind is sketchy, last I remember I was protecting a village from attack by the Darkthornes...I'd betrayed my clan..now I'm here and there is war all around, and I can only guess it's the Darkthornes yet again. I'm a master monk, I see your protecting this boy, then I offer you my services, I could never let a child fall into the hands of the Darkthornes."

Sigonus was shocked, the mad monk had lost some of his memories and the only ones he could remember were good. Sigonus almost laughed out loud, before he said, " I'm a cleric of Gaia, my name is Sigonus, this is prince Lucan Blackthorne. I'm ..we are heading to Demise castle for better protection.." Sigonus made head movements and eyes movements to give Dellrend the idea he was playing along with something. Dellrend looked at the elf confused and said, " Are you drunk, or just lame in the head?"

Sigonus patted Lucan on the shoulder and walked over to Dellrend with a urging finger. As the two elves walked a little distance from Lucan, Sigonus told Dellrend everything. Dellrend nodded and laughed, " okay let us all go to Demise castle then." Dellrend's fist were wrapped in black cloth and he was clothed in black robes with a gold line bordering them. Dellrend's long white hair flowed behind him as the trio made their way to the castle.

Sigonus was happy that his fellow elf had been saved by Lucan's attack. The boy was gifted, and would make a great king someday, if they all lived to see that day.

Gem watched as Reese stood and within a moments time dissappeared .."Reese..." would be the only thing he heard as he dissappeared leaving her alone at the temple with the tree.

Time passed slowly for her as she watched the ever growing hardwood branch out. The sun began to set and the night was creeping over the temple.  Moving to the fountains that had once decorated the gardens outside the temple, Gem found reasonably clean water to wash her hands and face with.  From her medicine bag she took a drink of clean water, then dabbed salve to her scapes and cuts.  Finally she ran her hands though her hair to try and gain some control over the blond tresses.

She found a safe place, in the corner of the temple to sit and watch the tree until it grew to adulthood, only then would it be safe....
