Welcome to Gaia! ::

INDENTAlfred staggered, clutching his wound with his left hand as he tried to recover enough to cast possibly his final spell. Suddenly a large dog came up and grabbed him by the collar, however, and started dragging him. "Hey! Let go of me!" Alfred protested weakly, trying to free himself from the dog's grasp. His already pale skin was starting to get paler as he lost blood at an alarming rate. When the dog finally dragged his heavily bleeding body back to the Deralo lines, he barely had enough strength left to stand up. Blood was oozing from his wound at an alarming rater, pooling around him when he and dog finally came to a rest.

INDENTLuckily Alfred had his wits about him, and that was all he needed to perform his most powerful spell. The card in question flew to Alfred's outstretched right hand as the rest of his cards flew back into his pocket. "I appretiate your concern, but I have read the future." Alfred said to the dog as he flipped the card over to face that infected army, revealing the ace of spades. "And it is death." The card suddenly began changing shape, and with it Alfred's body also changed. The ace of spades began growing longer and changed material as a blade appeared at the end and eventually the card transformed into a large scythe. At the same time, Alfred's clothes began changing until he was drapped in black robes. Alfred himself changed as well. He began to grow larger and larger until he was as tall as a man and a half and his skin and muscles began to rot and fall away until eventually there was only bones and in Alfred's place stood the incarnation of death.

INDENTAlfred, in the form of death, gave off an extreme aura of evil that caused the mortal men near him to cower in fright, but he didn't notice as he walked forward towards the infect ranks. With mighty slashes of his scythe, he began felling opponents left and right without worrying about retalitation. The swords that connected with his bones barely did any damage, and even when they did the damage recovered nearly immediately. Even when he had been using spells before, Alfred had tried not to kill as much as possible. Now, however, he made no effort to avoid striking a lethal blow. In fact now he aimed for them, trying to kill as many enemy soldiers as he could. He was changed now, and it didn't seem that he would stop until his enemies were dead.

Pre didn't answer him, not wanting him to fret about her current situation, "Prince?" She looked over to Deralo's side of the army, "Deralo Castle had no Prince..." She was trying not to balance herself out with the 'new' ally on the battlefield. The Faerie's mostly instinctively avoided Alfred with the same issue. Pre had to assemble the Faerie's properly and then hell would break loose.

"Sadly I'm not their commander. But I will see what I can do," Pre said. She was looking at the streaks of red in the small distance. She knew it was him, "Still carrying that around I see..." She looked back at Jesse, "I need to assist the battle," She showed her katana and her magic infused blade, "We'll be victorious. I guarantee it," She flew back into the battle, leaving a neat trail of inconscious people in her wake. Her blade glided through the barriers the stronger infected had, "Kir's aura..." She didn't like that. These people were given Kir's DNA. She had little confidence that they would survive cleansing.

Sapphire elbowed an incoming infected who was planning on attacking Kazuo. She then hit it over the head with the back of her sword, leaving it unconscious. Suddenly a cry of pain could be heard behind her. She turned around and saw her commander down on his knees. She ran up to him. "Botta!" She cried.

Botta was bleeding out through his chest. "Damned one got me..." He said, looking at his wound. He looked up at Sapphire. "Queen, make sure the bastards ge... get whats coming to them.." He said, in pain. "Send me out.. with a bang." He said as his lips closed forever. He fell over and was dead.

Sapphire covered her face. She made sure to hold back any tears she might have. She knelt down, closed his eye lids and stood back up. She looked back to the rest of the war. She didn't have time for grief. She had to fight by the Prince's side. She walked back around Kazuo. "War leaves too many scars." She mumbled.

He landed, without a Word. He pointed at the spirit that was about to enter Botta's body, and shook his Head. He pulled two coins from a pouch on his belt, and set them over Botta's eyes, fare for the Ferryman. He ran, hacking a clearing large enough for him to leap into the Air. He soar towards PreToria. He smiled, looking at her, and Nodded. "You won't be a burden, Pre."

Chase arrived at the battlefield only to see that it was moving slowly. He expected the infected to have pushed into the city limits by now. It seemed there was an allied counter attack taking place. He rushed into the battle, using his extended claws to rip through Deralo soldiers.

An extremely loud shout suddenly sounded out over Deralo Field. "PRETORIA!!!!!!!!" The Shout was coming from a rapidly approaching shape in the air, off in the direction of expansia field. as it got closer, it was clear the object was massive, and blasts of mana suddenly began raining down from the object, hitting the infected army, not killing, but knocking them out well enough for it to matter. as the object approached, it came to a halt, right over the infected, and a small figure dove off the ship, in a red flash, and then massive wings spread out, as the figure landed beside pretoria, a mana pistol in one hand, his sword in the other, his wings a collection of swords fanned out to let him fly. "I missed you pre." Lunair said as he fended off the infected.
