Chapter 33: Ship Assault

The Male Telfan carried his heavy bags limply, he looked at the gates and sighed he would finally talk with his love again.

Alexander rushed through the shore, by his side were four of the Pillars, the group kicked up sand and small stones as they were guided by Sheil the Scaleborn who flew towards a ship setting sail from a cave in the shore wall.

-SHEIL! TAKE SHAUN TO THE SHIP!- The Human commanded.

The High Scaleborn stood vertically and quickly lost his speed as he descended, he rushed to the Beastkin and quickly took flight again, grueling minutes pass and Sheil throws Shaun into the water by the ship, the tiger hits the crystalline waters and roars loudly, the waters around the ship freeze in mere seconds and it stops moving.

Sheil extended his claws with light and flew through the sails tearing them to shreds, a red blur darts from the ship and intercepts the High Scaleborn taking him higher.

Alexander froze the waters to connect the shore to the small ice island Shaun had formed, the group crossed the ice, Barja the Darkan formed a ladder so that the rest of the Pillars could climb.

-Shaun focus on holding the ship- Alexander spoke in a serious tone.

The Beastkin nodded, sat down and extended his arms to hold the ice.

The Human flew up using wind and accessed the situation, thirty-one people were on board, between Stowrflings, Humans, Low Scaleborns and Demi-Humans.

Haig the Telfan jumped on top of a Scaleborn and shocked him to unconsciousness, a serpentine L.S. wrapped her tail around the Telfan and he merely covered himself in electricity, Stowrflings and Stow. Demi-Humans pilled on Haig, Barja rushed to help but was confronted by Scaleborns, the Darkan blocked and dodged the relentless attacks from all sides.

Bor the Stowrfling swung his axe on his kin who served Nemea, Humans overwhelmed the stone man but he did not buckle, he used his aspect to rip chains from the wood and wrap them around the ship's crew.

Before Alexander could join the fight a stout octopus Seafolk caught him off guard and threw him into the waters, he jumped after the Human, the Council man created a platform from ice and carefully observed the waters around him, Alexander dodged a strike coming from behind him, the Seafolk landed on the platform and stood up.

-You don't know what you're doing-

-I'm stopping Nemea's madness- Alexander rebuked.

-She's changed! A thousand years ago was a mistake!-

-HOW MANY DIED?! YOU OF ALL SHOULD KNOW!-

-They're all in Atlantis now, I'm swore to make a better world-

-Nemea abused the Dragons, killed almost all Beastkin species, and only three Seafolk types remain_-

-I SWORE LOYALTY TO HER! FOR A BETTER WORLD FOR ALL HUMANS AND DEMI-HUMANS, MY NAME IS IKARUMI! And if I have to kill a Human... may Nemea forgive me-

-Fool-

Alexander rushed like a violent storm, his hand covered in lightning, Ikarumi jumped away and used the waters like razors, the Human used a wind explosion to repel the encroaching tentacles, the Seafolk ripped his pants to reveal his divided limbs, Ikarumi unleashed a violent onslaught using his four arms and two of his legs, Alexander blocked several attacks before dodging a hook, the Human darted upwards and landed a devastating punch underneath the Seafolk's chin, Ikarumi stumbled backwards and shook his head, Alexander summoned a lightning spear and threw it at the Seafolk's chest, the octopus convulsed violently before dropping down motionless.
