Sophie's POV
I saw my sister dance that night after she stayed behind. It was full of emotion that it brought me to tears. That person she's pertaining to, I know that insult is for our brother, or might as well be her promised husband. If only she knows how the Final Judgement worked.
But right after she was done with all of that, I noticed the slight presence of a few number of Elysian. I was about to go and annihilate them all when the huge fire behind my sister bent forward towards the slope just behind the tents where I have sensed the Elysian. I wondered why I heard no shouts until I went to see how my sister did it. She went directly for their heads slicing it off from their mouths. One managed to escape and left quickly shivering in fear. That should instil fear to the others.
Two hours before daylight, everyone rose from their tents and packed up, saddled their horses, prepared their weapons, and wore their armours. My sister sent some footmen ahead to secure a place where they can observe everything. All the commanders are lining up their own soldiers and giving them encouraging words to keep their spirit up. My sister is doing the same to the Paladins as I am also listening but not until I saw a fire coloured petal resting in between my sister's collar and her nape. I was about to ask her about it but I decided not to. It might be something of a charm.
"Sophie and both of the twins will infiltrate the castle to save those who are held prisoners. That is your very main objective, never stray from it no matter what happens. Is that clear?"
"I'll make sure of that sister" I assured and she nodded gratefully. My, my, a worrisome mother we got here.
"Tyra and Andre will wait for the Healers as they assist those who will be wounded. Stay on the wings. Get them out of the war zone if possible. Apollo, you make sure they'll go undisturbed while you're with the cavalry. Hale will lead the archers at the rear. Cougar will lead the cavalry behind our footmen which will be led by Acre and Roy. Breal and Dylan will be on either of our wings. Ethan will stay here with me with our reserves and main forces. Our battalion knows their places. I've already told them who will command them. Remember this, do not go all out, just wear them out and take them down. Make way for the main force. Reserve our strength for the main prey. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, General!" they all said in unison and even gave her a proper salute. I almost forgot of the title she holds.
"Sophie, once the way is cleared, the four-five of you will go. I believe I have already disseminated the map to everyone"
"Confirmed, General"
"Yes, sis--General" I said after them. I'm not used to this.
"Gather everyone and roundup" she commanded and they all left except the Jemauxs' and the both of us.
"You gave us your word mother—I mean General" Rumple immediately took back that 'mother' when my sister looked down at him with those cold hazelnut eyes.
"Yes, I know. I trust you all will do your mission before doing anything else I did not say. Take care of yourselves, you're all big boys now" she looked at me with those strongly pleading eyes before leading us towards the already finely stationed soldiers.
Almost every soldier is armed with long bladed spears and swords except for those with bows. The main force will be led by Ethan, I believe, and my sister will lead the reserve forces. Their numbers, I cannot say. We're over a hundred thousand strong in my estimation but it's nothing compared to a half a million strong of the Elysian.
This war, I believe, will not be between supernatural powers but battlefield tactics. A war like we're all hominids had because on the plain between our camp and the mount Perdit is a place where all supernatural abilities are cancelled. That's also the reason why my sister's fire didn't reach one of those Elysian who tried to sneak and attack us on our sleep.
