Welcome to Gaia! ::

He sat there quite some distance away, watching from afar his hand would lift to pull that cloak deeper over his visage. "No. We will not. I've kept him away for many years, aiming to keep him from knowing her location." He would move out from beneath the shadow of that tree, making his way towards Athyln. It was only a matter of time before the incoming enemy had what it wanted. "Aries.." He would speak as he walked, his hands closing into fists, only he had fought that man to a draw before.. and that was when he had the strength given to him by his race. But.. he no longer held that.. he held something else.. that even after years of use, he does not know what it is. "To have a man like Aries under his thumb." Vincent continues. "Victor.. must be close to attaining something... I cannot even explain, and I probably would not understand."

Athyln looked to them walking up she shook her head slightly to Stefano. "My brother has sent his army up." She spoke looking to them with a smile. "Best the two of you stay here for now." She spoke Ruckas noded at least she wasn't rushing them into danger just yet as well.

Using the lives of many, there would be more to come. That golden gauntlet-clad hand would hover over what appears to be a floating orb of blood. This perfectly orb shaped entity of blood would remain levitating beneath those clawed gauntlet fingertips. Within that orb was seen the small skirmish that was about to turn into a bloodbath. A trail of blue would form upon pricking the orb with the tip of a finger. This trail would travel inwards, spiraling to the center of the orb before vanishing as though it has traveled through time somehow. There, hovering over both armies.. were floating figures. There had to be nearly a thousand of them dotting the sky above. It seems they had been there all along, and the spell that was placed to make them unseen was now gone. Those figures were levitating in the air with their massive white wings, arms folded tightly over their chests as thought hey were corpses. These figures would awaken, slaves used for battle it seems. They streak forward through the air, over Bran's army and into the woods.. Their orders were not here. Meanwhile that weapon finally falls from the sky, landing beside Aries. He had been waiting for this to fall for some time. Grasping the long-hilted weapon he pulls the large horse-slaying weapon from the ground. This is a curved, multi-serrated blade that is used to kill horses and dismount horsemen, but that usually took two hands. This man uses one, as though it were a one-handed weapon. That army behind him would take a few steps forward to attack, but he would not have that. Turning about to the army he halts them with a simply wave of his hand. "No, no.. I have not fought in over three month's now, I need to stretch. This battle will be mine."

Athyln smiled at Stefano's words yet she had said that she had no powers and was to mortal enough without them was going out now to fight. Ruckas looked back to them when Athyln walked outside. She saw the flight over head heading for the forest. "Vincent.." She said softly her grey eyes distratcted that way. They were going to attack him everything told her to try and safe him .. everything yet she didn't move. ((edited didn't know he was with Athyln.)) She looked at him crossly. "They took everything from us Vincent do you think i am going to run from them? Do you honestly think it matters?"

Ruckas spoke quickly. "If our lines break or Athyln is taken your protection is gone. I want you both to take this." It was a small charm in the shapr of a dragon. "It will hide your scent and you can get away. They won't find you by smell or persance."

Stefano took the charm and smiled.
"You are to kind. We woul most likely be dead by now if it wasn't for you guys" Stefano said to Ruckas

Ann took the pendant and smiled as well. Her smile however was also fallowed by a worried look in her eyes.
"I pray we won't need these. Please come back safley." Ann said to them as they walked out.

"Well lets all meet up after this is over and enjoy a good meal. I have all sorts of stories and sea adverntures to tell you guys about." Stefano said taking Ann back into a deeper part of the house.

Vincent.. he carried no scent, he would look about to the group before him before speaking. "The six of us are going, I am not leaving you here to die. And Bran as well, if he can escape." He was no hero, why did life turn out like this? He would sigh at the thought he currently holds.

Despite the one named Aries who wished to do battle alone, that armored General would walk back and forth a few feet, giving orders to the men about. It seems like all bring with them a set of longbow and arrows. This is apparent because they are all currently arming themselves with them. Aries walked forward without a care despite this being battle. Behind him waves of arrows would be fired upwards, and then falling downwards upon Bran's army. These waves were in sets of five hundred. Aries would frown, shaking his head as he slowly makes his way forward. "I'm tellin' ya.. kids these days.." That monstrous figure mumbles to himself. Wave after wave would fall upon the army for the time being, now that the sky was clear of their own troops.

The winged figures from the sky knew not where in the forest that Bran was hiding his treasure. What they did know was that it was in this direction. And so they flew about between the trees.. this would make them easy targets for men hidden in the forest.. but there were so many that it was nearly pointless.

Brans men with their encasing effect and their very strong Iron shields would send the arrows deflecting off like a pebble to a building they would fall around the men being put out by the ground or catching a small patch of grass on fire. Nothing serious at all as the group remained still. The two thousand men...a turtle looking shape sat sit. Waiting...Waiting for the signal.

The men would take the offensive then, The mans sword would have no effect now as the wall was tighten and pulled together creating a iron curtain, like a solid wall they marched forward not giving a hoot about what Aries thought he could do. The large block marched forward in a pure Iron turtle that the steel blades and arrows would have no effect on. He could swing all he wants but the wall was held as they pushed towards the main army evidently...planning something
