Welcome to Gaia! ::

The soldiers and mages were rallied and stood atop the walls waiting for the mysterious force to attack. Matt, stood behind the wall clenching his staff. The 45th mage division will have their first taste of battle if there is an attack. Matt himself has never left the palace. He had only stayed and defended the palace. Of all the mages, he had the best magic, though he severly lacked close range combat skills. But no enemy had gotten close enough to him to attack with a blade, so he was well off. At the tip of his staff, a green light charged with wind blades around it. He would shoot the blast when he gave the mages the order to attack.

"Hn."

Takara reached the area where she needed to be, only to have herself being pulled back by the gaurds. After only a few steps, Takara turned right around, walking strait past them. They called after her, only to be ignored in return. She shut a door, locking it so they wouldn't be able to follow her. Takara made her way up to one of the towers where archers should be, entering the room and looking out at what lay below. From the color of their armor, she could tell that it was Ehsar. But such a small army? She raised an eye brow before picking up a bow, putting a quiver of arrows over her back. Without a word, she walked up to one of the lines, scaring the archer who she went up next to. Pulling out an arrow, she knotched it, aiming down at one of their enemies.

"Ignore me and keep on firing." Takara ordered the archers, who were being distracted by her. They jumped back into line, and she let her arrow go. It hit its target, and a moment later she was firing another arrow down. After time had passed by, she pulled out three arrows, firing all of them at once instead of just one at a time.

"No," Cedric replied, reaching up to stroke the cat a few times, and scratch it behind the ears. He'd always enjoyed the company of animals over humans. The only thing better than animals was Hosvanji, but he was dead. Or my parents, he thought, but the thought died as quickly as it had come, no sign showing on his face. "I understand if you don't trust me, but the offer remains. It will most certainly be faster."

He nodded then stepped over and hoisted Shin onto his other shoulder. "Off we go, then." He leapt off the balcony and landed in the garden. From there, he jumped to the top of the wall, pulling himself over the rest of the way with his left hand, his right securing Shin on his shoulder. From the wall, he jumped into the street, startling many. He began travelling in large leaps until they arrived on the scene. A small group of Ehsar troops, hardly a battalion. He set down Shin. "Make your demands," he said firmly.

Confirming that it was an attack, Matt had the orb on his staff grow brighter and larger. "Mages!!" he shouted as he readied his attack. "Prepare a wind slash! Cut their lines so that they do not reform! Don't let them reach the walls!" He shot the giant green magic bolt into the air as a signal for the mages to attack. Matt was commanding the mages. Matt's magic bolt flew through the air like a mortar and crashed into the ground making an explosion of air, sending wind blades in all directions. The wind blades pierced the armor and flew in and out of the body, making several stabs. As soon as Matt's mortar had hit, green lines raced accross the plains heading straight for the invaders. At the head of the lines were razor sharp air cuts which would pierce their lines. The wind blades forced the enemy to split into different groups, so that they'd be easier to take down.

"Excellent! My mages! Keep up the work! We must defend this place!" Matt continued shouting as he flung another wind mortar into the air. This one was a direct hit, taking out a medium sized group of enemy soldiers.

He sighed. Again, he was being misjudged. He wasn't giving orders to their men, nor was he trying to gain trust so quickly. He merely wished to know their demands, or their reasons for being here. He said nothing, though. He knew it could only cause conflict with this man, sir Tamuril. Tamuril was starting to worry him, making Cedric think he was a bit stupider than expected. Or perhaps under stress and not thinking clearly. He hoped it was the latter. Despite all the events, though, he drew his weapon, and looked at the enemy. Already they had been divided up by the wind mages and archers were firing relentlessly.

Then let's not get hit, Cedric thought to himself and leapt into fray, cutting down two men with one swing. Several nearest him immediately saw him as a great danger and charged. Cedric spun to the side and grabbed the spear that a man had just tried to stick him with, and yanked it from his grip, using the momentum to spin again, and hurled the spear back at its user. The soldier fell to the ground, impaled.

Cedric parried another sword and eviscerated this soldier then spun quickly to examine those around him. Several were eyeing him, but none were moving, so he waited patiently, always watching every direction.

Karasi looked on the battle from her corner. It was no good, she couldn't see much of what was going on from here. Looking up at the roof top, she made a quick decision and jumped up. So this was something of what she had to look forward to, huh? Looking around, the Evlian soon spotted the man in charge of the ranks. True, he was hard to miss. Should I join them? she asked herself. Or would they even accept help from me?

The demon struck him again this time on his head. the blow nearly made him pass out from the pain. He spoted his daggers and jumped for them. The demon got in his way and growled deeply. Shin sliped under the deomon and grabed his daggers. He put them away because he had a plan. Before he could set it into play, the demon toke him by the arm and threw him again. He hit a wall and was knocked out. shin didn't know that when he hit the wall a fire dragon showed up. The demon saw this and got scared. It picked him up and threw him over his shoulder. It couldn't kill him here. It retreated into what looked like a black hole that apeared in the air. Once he was through it the demon that made it retreated into it and it disappeared.

((More later. I'm at school now. It's time for class...Goody.))
