((Well, tell him I'm 6 feet tall, I weigh 200 pounds, and I suffer from a medical disorder that makes me fly into an uncontrollable rage when called a f*****t. Also, I have an army of highly flammable zombies at my command, and I have a zippo primed and ready for use at a moment's notice.))

When she had faded from his field of vision, Reis signaled for the fort's guards to hold their ground, and prepared a shot of seismic energy for the first charge.

Reis grunted in mild surprise. He rotated himself in mid air by shifting his weight, putting out his hands to catch his balance. He found purchase under his fingers, grasping at the soft earth and grass, and managed to slow his travel. Once he'd stopped tumbling, he planted his boots in the ground firmly, and launched himself back at Resa, striking out with his extended fingers, aiming for a pressure point just above the collarbone of her sword-hand. He condensed an aura around his fingers to soften the blow and avoid hurting her seriously.

"Don't make the mistake of assuming I'm going easy on you," Der Reisende said quietly. "I am going to stop you, one way or the other. But I don't like causing pain where it isn't necessary...so if I can stop you without killing you, so much the better." He caught her left hand with his palm, realizing from the sound of the impact that the girl was stronger than she looked. He released her and leaped high into the air, bringing his heel down hard, and assisted by Estra's gravity. He released the energy he had stored and saved for the first wave of attack, throwing a wall of earth up to slow down the marching troops, while the Estran archers began to fire from the top of their parapets.

Resa sighed, shaking her head at the words before they even were finished coming out. "All of you heroic types are the same." She muttered under her breath, rubbing her right shoulder ruefully. The flat of her sword's blade tapped the top of Reis's head harmlessly in a gesture of friendliness. "What you don't think of is that some people have no choice for the side they're allegiances are for. But that's understandable." The first of the troops were shocked at the sudden rise of earth and a few were killed. But a small group had been able to sneak in, and the gates of the fort crashed down. The Urel on the other side of the fortress provided a nice distraction by shooting arrows like the Kingdom soldiers were.
