"Axalon's resources are beneficial to my own plans, the Aethryn have always been in my way..."-Dralton Xi Galaxia [Audio log ends]

The Siege Of Cazara started to begin. Vyktor tapped on the grip of his Zaetos Pistol. My brother crossed his arms watching as the Transports from the Illumanari fleet began to advance while every ship launched their choirs against the Aethryn fleet garrisoned at Cazara. Around a million ships from the garrison were turned into floating ruins.

The Raven let out a deep breath "I'll be back...." his words became wintered before turning around and walking out of the bridge. The holographic map was alive with both sides slamming into each other on Cazara and in space above. Cazara had three moons, all named after champions that maybe still around now. The moons were known as Nolthial, Maegel and Zodius..Summanus noticed something on two of the three moons. Nolthial had a decent sized military installation that had most of the moon covered. He got the count relaying it to me. At least a hundred billion garrisoned on it.

"What do you have in mind?" Summanus humored me

"Our Barge alone can crack that moon to throw off Cazara gravity. Maegel can be damaged enough to where the civilians there can't escape..." I had a sinking feeling. I didn't want to do that, but I chose my path after my Marigold withered. I knew that Vezion already chose his side, no forgiveness was certain... I motioned my hand outward pressing on the Moon of Nolthial, like Night and Day. My brother and I floated out in space, soon we activated our RAM forms. Summanus flew off quickly with three hundred squadrons of Dissentors in their own RAM forms. I followed behind. Aethryn Vyzpula fighters maneuvered to intercept. Summanus released his singing barrage into the squadrons a thousand of them all six in number. No survivors, the Barge began to slowly get in range, beams, bolts and missiles collided against ships some beginning to split at the hull, Illumanari Kingfisher class Fighters exited their blink, they were piloted by Eldari. Each maneuver was on point it was a dance of war from both sides.

The Moon Of Nolthial started to split at the crust, the atmosphere became ablaze. Soon it cracked and crumbled, chunks rained upon Cazara while I began maneuvers to try and exit the tide of that moonfall. This tactic was used within Ateodra before. It was a rarely used one but this might be an multiple use one here in Axalon, I felt an impact from one rock surge through my RAM frame. I was forced out of that form freefalling, the sky of Cazara was nothing more than flamming red with orange, I watched as I fell Illumanari forces start to advance while Aethryn forces started to advance. Both lines clashed in a song of steel. When I shook my daze away, I deployed my wings grabbing a Fledgling by the neck and twisted until smoke left his mouth, I threw the body aside before sliding into a landing in the symphony of steel and screams.. An Penant tried charging me but discharges echoed. Bolts of crystalline radiation pierced the Penant with rubies raining from him. Janissaries made their shots true, before unleashing a volley on three other Penants. The gravity of the planet shifted pushing both sides back just a bit. The moonfall still rained upon it, each city was hit, Aethryn ships caught in it soon rained down on Cazara with some Illumanari ships. The Moon Of Maegel cracked just a bit to where those on that moon can't escape this Siege.

I recognized a voice "So you're finally doing what you are designed for, right machine?" It was my Marigold's brother... I drew my blade, he had his Zhyne Saber and Zhyne Hammer at the ready. He had champions standing beside him. One with wings that were obsidian in tone with a hint of red on the highlights, that one was Nolthial, he had a Zhyne Axe two handed in design. Maegel had wings of bronze with gilded highlights. He had Zhyne Daggers. And then Zodius, his wings were ivory with obsidian highlights. Zodius dual welded Zhyne Sabers.

Nolthial chuckled "Time for the fallen to rise again...." he planted the hilt of his Zhyne Axe into the ground with a channel of necrotic energy. The mangled Aethryn bodies on the field contorted and twitched back to life before lifting themselves up with their weapons. An Illumanari Avenger glanced at me

"Those things are monstrosities...." I nodded in agreement with other protocols activating. I sharpened my sight towards Vezion. He readied with the classified constructs known as Inmortui or the Inmorteans in Aethryn tongue... the Inmortean Fledglings, Penants and Eydols had distorted screams that soon tuned to screeches

"In war anything goes right machine?" Maegel questioned me., I shifted my stance.

"Sometimes, it is best to let the dead rest...." I noticed something or someone step beside Vezion. Her figure was fair like my.... Marigold.... her brother's eyes darkened yet had wrath shining in the rim with a tinted fiery red. That thing standing by Vezion wasn't the woman I came to love and was about to marry. My spectrum went to scarlet. Without hesitation I led the charge while Summanus landed once the clash began. Illumanari forces were now against Aethryn both alive and risen again. I cut through multiple Inmortean Fledglings at least twenty one hundred in number before a shoulder slammed into my center forcing my step back. It was the thing that was my withered flower. She let out a sound like an whaling woman mixed with an type of beast. I gripped the spear at the handle upon a whack towards me. I released my might then sent it through the thing. Before twisting at the neck. That thing went limb. Zodius flew towards me, with the current gravity feeling on Cazara he was weighed down. I stepped left before sending my blade. He maneuvered but one wing fell to the ground. Summanus was clashing with Maegel. Vezion roared and flew not carrying for the gravity. I sild back.

Nolthial boosted himself up before letting gravity work sending himself towards me. I glided backwards dodging the strike. Zodius tried to swing, an discharge screamed. He fell backwards with mist leaving his breath. Nolthial swung upward, I griped one of Zodius' Zhyne Sabers motioning it up quickly. Nolthial shifted back. Maegel soon fell to Night....
