The Summoner's Mark (First Draft) (Book One)

The Battle for Caso

Once again, the pair that had just battled through an entire camp of Raiders flew through the sky though this time around they were heading directly for the battle that raged throughout the entirety of the village and its outskirts. Wrapping his fingers through the fur that lines Soren's body, Sin angled his Familiar towards the location where he noticed that a group of Zesian Soldiers were about to be overrun by those that they were battling.

As Soren's wings cut through the sky and brought them to the destination that Sin was wishing for, in his usual fashion; he quickly tapped upon the Griffin's body which immediately caused the Fae to drop from the sky.

The moment that his Griffin started to fall from the sky, Sin started to unwrap his fingers from the fur that he had it entwined with and as he did so; he also started to sit himself up higher upon the creature. When Soren was close enough to the ground where he wouldn't be harmed by what he was planning to do, Sin flung himself from the Griffin and as he fell through the open sky; he slammed into one of the Raiders which sent them both rolling to the ground.

For a moment after the impact, Sin had his breath taken from him though he was eventually able to claw it free from what had stolen it from him. As he was doing this, he was allowed the elemental energy that he had taken from his Kitsune to pull into his hands and while he allowed one of his hands to form a blade as it usually did; the other was frozen solid by the ice that was swirling around it.

Once he felt that heaviness of the ice take hold of his hand, Sin immediately started to smash his frozen appendage against the body of his chosen enemy. Blow after blow rained down upon the Raider and by the time that their bodies stopped their movement, Sin had been able to knock his enemy unconscious by repeated blows to their head.

No longer needing to worry about this enemy, Sin hurried in his movements to remove his body from the Raider and once this was done; he was turning to survey the environment that he had flung himself into. Doing this allowed him to see that those he had flown into battle with had also started commencing battle with enemies that surrounded them.

Both Soren and Inari were tearing into the flesh of the Raiders that they had chosen to attack while Nohki had already vanished into the shadows that he had conjured. Knowing that each second that he stood there and stared at those who were fighting that he was allowing the Raiders to get a stronger grip on the area, Sin decided that it was time for him to enter the battle and with his mind made up; he charged towards the closest enemy that he could see.

The group of Raiders that he had chosen to target were already busy fighting a group of Zesian Soldiers which allowed him to catch them by surprise. His blade stabbed through the chest of one of the Raiders as soon as he arrived behind them and before his presence was noticed, Sin was yanking it free and slashing it at another. This second strike took a Raider through the neck and from the force of the blow; Sin watched as the Raider's head slid free from their body.

By this time, it became clear to the remaining Raiders that they were being targeted from behind and while they were attempting to turn and attack their newest enemy; this gave the Zesian Soldiers the chance that they needed to rid the world of this filth that had attacked their empire. Moments after Sin was noticed by the Raiders, their lifeless corpses fell to the ground as the Zesian Soldiers landed devastating blows upon their flesh.

As each body sent a thud echoing throughout the battlefield, Sin was turning to survey the battle once more so he could locate another group that he could help destroy. He noticed that the Raiders that remained within the camp were inching away from them and considering how they were keeping their weapons aimed towards them; Sin could assume that they weren't wanting to be attacked from behind as they retreated.
