Garthalan: Mother of the Wood

Possession

Laila pov

Even with the help of the wardens inside we still somehow managed to see the order lined up and ready for war. We had sent the remainder of the wardens and wood elf hunters led by Zaine and a small rank of his own men around the edge to flank the ranks but it was not enough to be effective.

Gretha, Yennefer, and Helena strode up beside me. " We will lose a lot of soldiers in this." Grethas hand lay on my shoulder.

"I know, but we cannot back down now. Another attempt on the fort might actually succeed. And they still have Adaya and Garen in there."

"Then lets start the charge and begin!"
An all to happy Krevis rode up behind us.

"I spose there's no point in stalling." Gretha turned to our lines. "Men and women! We have been labeled rebels by these men! They think we Need to die, To be imprisoned and turned into there own personal slaves! And from what I've seen, they will not stop until this is so. Already they have taken two of our own, Already have they attacked us twice! I say we show them why we left! Why we have accepted the label of rebel! Take that name and wear it with pride as we show this posh king he should not have pushed us for his own agenda!" It was a horrible speach but the emotion he put into it...that is what inspired the men into the roar they now made. We turned our horses and began our charge.

Garen pov

"Get her out, hurry!" I moved to my cell door to see two guards unlocking adayas cell, I had tried to speak to her but received no answers. Now she walks out looking completely fine. "Adaya Thalan. I order you to stop this attack. Right now." He removed his hand from her chest, he held something but I couldn't figure out what. She turned to me, eyes a cold green. I didn't think green could be could but hail and behold it was made possible. That is not Adaya.

"Open this cell" she moved to the bars and I backed away. I could not fight her. The door swung open and she walked in and grabbed me. I was drug through the halls and out the doors, we stood overlooking the walls. Overlooking Gretha and his army killing the order as though they were test dummies. Fireballs flew metal clashed, even a bolt of lightning struck. This was a true war, thousands upon thousands of soldiers all killing each other for whatever cause they thought necessary.

"Rebels! Halt your assault!" Adayas voice boomed louder than I had ever heard. A few of the soldiers not locked in battle looked up. "I said HALT!" Now they began to stop, a few more clashes and one more bolt of lightning and the field was dead silent. She picked me up beside her and whispered into my ear. "I know my orders are to stop the assault. But to be honest I like the bloodshed, it... Hmm what's the word for it? It an....enjoyable sight. Yea, that's what I'm looking for enjoyable." I was at the edge of the wall now, she plans to push me off, I can see that.

" Adaya dont do this." I looked back my heels are on the edge now.

She just smirked, a mischievous smirk. "Goodbye Garen." She punched me in the face and I fell over.

"What're they doing?" We watched as Adaya and Garen stood at the edge of the wall, Adaya holding Garens arm until he was almost over the edge, then she punched him and he fell. He hit the ground with such force that it left a ploom of dust to rise. We all stared in shock. Rebels and order alike. Adaya just threw her own friend off a hundred foot wall. Then she jumped, landing beside his body, on her feet. She drew her shortswords and killed two soldiers eight there. An order member and one of the dark elves. I ran towards her.

"Adaya! Stop! The dark elves are on our side!" I was now only a few feet away and as the fighting started again she turned to me. She seen who I was and yet her sword still stuck into my gut. My next words came in a whisper. "Adaya? Why?"

"You people really need to quit calling me that." This is not adaya? Who then?
