"Well, I'm not exactly sure where the others are. I've lost track of them because of my work, obviously," Fenrir said, busy placing things in the hat he'd removed: his pocket watch, necklace, and balled up jacket before setting it next to Elistral. "I'm actually surprised that an ancient elf as you wouldn't be able to tell, truthfully, but we were far more feral then and I hide it quite well." He stood and stretched, debating how long he had before he'd be found out. "But if you do me the favor of turning around for a second I'll let you know."

Sylvia blinked at Fenrir and turned around. She had no idea what was going on. "Uh, tell me again what you're doing...?"

"Helping you." Fenrir replied simply. Then he closed his eyes and felt a cold shiver run down his spine. The change was thankfully not noticed by any of the fighters or the healers in the vicinity. When he opened them again, he stood up and ducked his head into the hat on the ground, his watch's gold chain sliding over his black furry neck easily. He padded around the unmoving Elistral, poking Sylvia's arm with his now cold nose, standing at about rib height with the elf. "I hope you haven't lost your practice riding bareback. Or chicken out. Because then this would be very awkward..."

Sylvia looked on in shock. "I thought all of the elder wolves had vanished. Now this I can do." Sylvia got on Fenrir's back and drew her sword. "Okay, let's go."

"Vanished, yeah. I really wonder where they are." Fenrir said sincerely as he rolled his shoulders, a tiny bit sore from the change, and tossed his head as he set off at a light jogging pace away from the healer's tent. "So, what's the plan? Attack the troops, go on a killing spree to lessen the ranks, distraction, distract Reaper? Your call."

Sylvia looked for a moment at the battlefield. "Let's go cut through the ranks." Sylvia looked to the top of the hill. "I can't interfere with that fight anymore." Sylvia looked sad for a moment then looked ahead confidently. "Let's go!"
Strider skidded back a bit. It had been going for some time and everyone was tired. Strider could barely lift his sword anymore. Damn this human body.
Demios was also tired. His wound was still bothering him, it wasn't completely open but some blood had started to trickle out. He looked at Reaper who looked equally as worn. Man, this fight isn't going anywhere. We need to stop this before it gets out of hand. "ARRAH!" Demios charged bellowing lightning.
Reaper braced himself to be attacked. He was starting to get a bit of a strain in a few of his joints and all the constant fighting wasn't helping his already hurt body where Demios had stabbed him. Reaper brought up his two swords and charged as well.

Fenrir opened his massive jaws in a crude smile, secretly glad that Sylvia's fighting spirit had come back. He hated when people got themselves down by self-pity. "Alright, time to cause some havoc!" The fighters were all fighting in small skirmishes by now, not quite as back to back as before. But they parted as Fenrir rushed through them, searching someone to attack first. He settled with a dark elf sorcerer he spotted and launched himself at it's summoned creature, knocking it to the ground.
Rore was glad to see that most of the town had been cleared of any Ravagers. Any that surrendered were lined up against the inside of the wall encircling. He jogged over to assist one of the Protectors having trouble with a small band.
When Sylvia and Fenrir left, Elistral cracked open one eye before shutting it again as her stomach lurched painfully. She wished she could have had the strength to tell her mother that she wouldn't die. Strider's words from over a decade ago drifted through her mind, "Though I warn you once you choose this path you will never be able to go back to a mortal life. You will become an immortal like I was. " She wasn't sure how true that held, but she wasn't about to find out.

Sylvia let Fenrir run her to the enemies and as they passed she swung with her sword, felling on to two with each swing. "Yeah! I forgot how much fun it was to ride a Sire Wolf." She swung again, felling two more demons.
Strider ran up behind Demios, using Demios' tail as a spring board, leaping over his head and slashing down at Reaper who had been caught off guard.
Reaper blocked Strider who slashed downwards but then Strider spun around and before Reaper could react Demios had stabbed him. "GAH!! ARGH!!" The sword was sticking out the other end of Reaper, out his back. "You...BASTERD!" Reaper exploded with anger and back handed Demios away, forcing him to release his sword and tossing him away.

"Oh, haven't heard that in a while. 'Wish I could've been there when they were more common." Fenrir neatly dodged a spike before landing the fatal blow to his opponent, tearing the throat open with a loud rip. The dark elf was in the middle of another spell when he was barreled into, his concentration broken in mid-chant. "As things go, I should be one of the larger ones but I haven't seen any of my kin." He added, making very short work of the sorcerer's guard as he left the caster to Sylvia, and took off again when things were finished there.
Once the situation inside had stabilized, Rore climbed through the wide hole rent in the main gate. Whatever had done that must have had impressive strength, he thought to himself with quiet admiration. He then set to work on helping kill off the enemies closest to the entry point.

"Well seeing as I've been dead since five years ago I don't know. But maybe we should ask Strider. He'll probably know." Sylvia sounded like she was wishing more then suggesting.
Strider watched as Demios flew and fell in a heap. "Demios!" Strider stood up and charged, meeting the same end. As he flew Strider dug his sword into the ground, stopping himself.
"You will die this day Strider! I don't care if the world burns in the process! Everyone will die if that's what it takes!" Reaper seemed hurt now, oil streaming from Demios' blade.

"Not dead necessarily, maybe in limbo." Fenrir went off his path to help a few elves with a battle they seemed to be losing before continuing on his way. "Eh. But maybe it would be for the best that they stay hidden for now. There's just too much going on." His watch swung wildly around his neck as he slowed to a somewhat easier pace, his ears perking up as he glanced around the battle area. He straightened when he found what he was looking for, an opponent that was giving their allies a bit of trouble as it towered a few feet above them. "Hey, want to take out that big guy?"
Rore was glad that the archers still had the ground defenders in their sight, picking off any Ravagers that had decided to take the smart path and sneak up behind them. He pivoted around on his heel as he heard a grunt behind him, bashing his enemy with his shield in the face as he spied a red feathered arrow poking out from her shoulder.

"Let's go then. I have an idea." Sylvia readied her sword for the charge.
Strider got to his feet with a grunt of pain. "I'm getting too old for this. Come on then! Let's end it." Strider brought his sword up ready for the charge.
Reaper charged, screaming with a slightly metalic voice. He came fast and Strider wasn't able to dodge. Reaper came around and smashed Strider in the face with his fist, sending him into the air.

"Good, because I didn't have one." Fenrir barked a harsh laugh and flexed his paws against the hard ground. Then he dashed forward, causing the small group around the Ravager scatter away in surprise. As the thing look at the pair down blow it he made a turn and jumped, using another Ravager as a spring board towards the back of the creature's knees.

As Fenrir jumpped Sylvia leaped from Fenrir's back and stabbed with her sword straight into the big creatures' chest as Fenrir lunged at its knees.
As Strider flew he could see everything and feel everything. His bones were breaking, his arm and leg, and his jaw. But as he flew he saw one thing, the sword sticking out of Reaper. He had brought up one hand when he landed, hard.
Reaper huffed and walked over to Strider. "You won't be coming back from it this time. After over a hundred years fate has finally caught up with-" Reaper would have continued but Strider had started to chuckle. "What? What's so funny? You think your own death is funny?"
Strider shook his head, his face hurting, testing his jaw. "No, it's funny...that you think you've won. So high and mighty after hitting me. But you forgot something." Strider chuckled.
"Oh? And what might that be?" Reaper leaned closer.
"Metal conducts electricity, and you've got a giant lightning rod in your stomoach." Strider touched the tip of the sword sticking out towards him from Reapers stomach.
Reaper's eyes grew wide as Strider's hand sparked with electricity. As Reaper watched the electricity spark up the sword he could see something he had thought he had forgotten. His father. He remembered Strider's last words to him after his father had died. 'Mourn the day young Tory and move on. It'll come back to haunt you if you don't.' "Morn the day." Reaper convulsed as his cuircutry fried and his mechanics spun and whirred eratically.
Demios stirred as Strider hit Reaper with the electricity. He watched as Reaper twisted into impossible positions. Then as it seemed Reaper had stopped something cracked and he blew up into a huge light of fire and energy.
