The Great War

Futility

When the Deathsinger left the Nether to strike Nestoria through Oakendale, he found the holdout groups sent by Gale Point. When Ser Kaleo sent the troops, he himself showed up right before the fight began.

"Sire! The Nether has been spotted headed towards our location." A scout jumped down from a tower with a bow in his hand, running up to Ser Kaleo.

"Well, don't gawk around! Hold them off." Ser Kaleo said, an explosion hit the wall shortly after, blowing open the cobblestone defenses. The Deathsinger walked through and looked around.

"I thought the Nether had already defeated Oakendale's resistance? No matter." Ingressus raised his sword, saying: "Your attempts at rebellion are futile!" He said as an arrow flew at him, he blocked it with his sword and shot the archer with an aggroblast, knocking her off the tower and killing her upon landing head first on the ground.

"That's him! That's the Deathsinger!" The scout said, standing next to Ser Kaleo. Ser Kaleo took out his spears and readied himself for a fight.

"The leader of the ghostly Frostbourne. You must see that your soldiers are not a match for us." The Deathsinger said as he pointed his sword at Ser Kaleo, shooting an aggroblast. Ser Kaleo blocked it with his spear, and slowly flew upwards with the blue fire thrusters beneath his feet.

"Let the next kingdom fall." The Deathsinger said, Ser Kaleo flew at him and struck down on his weapons. The Deathsinger kicked Ser Kaleo away and shot an aggroblast, knocking him down.

"Not even with your armor can you defend yourself, or your kingdom." The Deathsinger said as Ser Kaleo flew up, but the scout stood in front of him.

"Sire! Go! Don't waste your life, this outpost is already lost!" The scout said as he shot an arrow at The Deathsinger. Ser Kaleo flew up and away, back towards Gale Point. The scout was quickly killed, and Oakendale was lost again.

Tempus sat in a room with a bunch of files and information. He was staring at a map with pins on them, contemplating. One of his interns entered the room and seemed frantic.

"Ser Kaleo was unable to fortify Oakendale completely, he fought the Deathsinger and lost, fleeing to Gale Point. Oakendale was lost and Ser Kaleo has cut off connections, isolating his kingdom." The intern said as Tempus slammed his rocky arm on the table, cracking it.

"That coward... send a messenger bird to the Ardoni villages! Their attacks will lead to there." Tempus said, the intern nodded and ran out of the room.

Thalleous and Achillean sat in Aegus' home, doing absolutely nothing, but contemplating. Zulius entered the room with Aegus, returning from the council meeting.

"How'd it go?" Achillean asked, Aegus turned to him and leaned his Master Staff against the wall.

"The Kingdoms have officially declared it, the Great War. Reinforcements will be sent to each of the vital outposts." Zulius said as Aegus nodded in assurance.

"Varek was there." Zulius said, Achillean stood up.

"What? Why?" Achillean asked, Varek was meant to be at the End, he was a rash individual so him at a political meeting sounded like chaos.

"Him, Hadion, and King Rendor attended the meeting, and the Challengers have become an official war squadron." Aegus said, he sat down across from Thalleous. A messenger bird flew to the window and pecked at it, Thalleous opened it.

"What seems to be the situation now?" Thalleous said, rather annoyed.

"Sorry for intruding sir, but a one Thalleous Sendaris has been requested to head to Sendaria, an Ardoni named Huro requests his assistance." The bird said as Thalleous grabbed his sword and ran out of the room.
