The large Kingdom of Anaria is hidden within a valley surrounded by dense forests. It has made quite the turn around within the two years Artsa has been attempting to resotore it. The buildings have been rebuilt. The town is actually taking on a decent amount of populants. And the castle has been restored to it's original beauity.

(Though everything has been referbished the castle is bare of life. There is but one man found within the entire castle.) *sits on his throne with his eyes closed and a preturbed look on his face which he always seems to have anymore he lets out a short dejected sigh*

A rather small lizard like demon cloaked in rags approached the castle gates. He removed what appeared to be a scroll secruing it to an iron bar. "He he hello from the Demon world filthy Anti.."The lizard then fired a flaming arrow into the door of the castle. He then slithered away in delight.

*upon hearing activity he snaps out of his daze and walks down to the front door staring at the fire from a few moments and then holding out his left hand which the fire appears to get pulled into his palm and disappear* Hmm. Pathetic. Like something so trivial as fire would honestly bother me. If you've got a point why don't you adress me directly. *he turns away from the door and sighs shaking his head and walking slowly back upstairs*

Awaiting Artsa on his throne was an official letter from the Demon World. It read:
Dear Anti Noble, By official order of the ruler of the Demon World our Merciful Goddess has hear by declared war on your kingdom. By extinguishing the arrow of peace you have yourself also declared war upon the Goddess. On the morning of the morrow prepare for the destruction of your kingdom.
Royal decree,
Her Merciful Goddess
Amira sat on her own throne back at the World Council a look of concern on her face. "Saiten did I really do the right thing?" She looked up at the old wizard. "Anti must be stopped before he destroys the people of this world. Do not fret my goddess about the threat itself but for the battle in which you must lead your armies to conquer." The wizard smiled at her kindly. Amira stood running her hand through her white hair as she decended down the stairs of her throne towards the large globe of the demon world. She placed a hand upon it and the other opening the locket around her neck. "Let this war bring me closer to you even if you are my last breath." Amira looked at the picture of Artsa as she spoke.

*slowly scanning the letter up and down he holds it out in his right hand and the letter suddenly catches fire and turns to dust within seconds* Heh. War? Already? *smirks and closes his eyes sitting back in his throne and unsheathing his sword slowly* War? *he holds the blade up and opens his eyes staring at the blade with intense focus then beginning to laugh a bit to himself* Ha ha ha! War! Declared on the kingdom of Anti?! *sitting up he turns the blade quickly around and thrusts it down into the ground beginning to laugh hystarically* Just when I thought my rule was going to be boring. *his laughing comes to an end and he bows his head closing his eyes with a grin* If it is war that you want, it is war that you shall get. Though I will not endanger any of the humans living within my kingdom nor any of its inhabitants. If any blood shall be shed... It shall be my own... *his grin fades and there is a look of remorse on his face as he holds his right arm straight out and in a golden flash the gauntlet that was once covering his right arm is reduced to nothing but a small gold ring which he slowly holds up his hand infront of his face and opens his eyes staring at it with a saddened look* All for you... If that is honestly what you would wish... My love... *saying that he takes hold of his sword and pulls it from the ground, sheathing his sword slowly at his right side as he walks from the throne room down a corridor to a balcony which over looks the entire kingdom* I just hope I have enough strength to take on an entire army. Especially one under her command. *he places his hands on the railing and closes his eyes letting out a sigh*

Amira sat quietly on the railing of her bedroom overlooking the five kingdoms.It both shocked and disturbed her how much her people really wanted to go to war. "They do it for you...you know." A tall woman with silver hair laced with feathers spoke smiling. "I have no quarell with the Anti...only Anti himself. I dislike being used even when it's for my own good." Amira looked back over her shoulder at Medusa. "You've got quite the track record for that. But if not for that record you would not be here today correct?"Medusa smiled taking a seat beside Amira. "Correct, but it is because of that family that I am also here. If I could rewind time I would have saved her with my last breath...my mother."Amira was admiring the stars now."You are troubled?"Medusa had concern now. "Just a bit. I don't know if I can trust that demon's word no offense. Why would Anti destroy a simple village? Why not aim for a larger target? Something just doesn't seem right. I cannot deny however that the arrow was extinguished and that it is my duty to protect this world." Medusa laid a hand on her shoulder,"You cannot deny what the heart wants either. I know you took an oath to protect this world as its ultimate ruler but do you intend to do so alone?" Amira looked her straight in the eyes," No one else will suffice except for him. I will have revenge on Anti for taking him away from me. Even if Anti wins every battle I will win the war." Amira jumped form the railing to the small courtyard of the palace where a large warrior like statue stood. She laid a red rose upon it's plaque saying a prayer and then returning to her quarters to rest. The plaque read: Artsa a warrior of passion, honor,virtue,and Theif of a wild heart.

*looking up at the sky he stands on the balcony for quite some time lost in thought then suddenly snaps out of it and turns around looking around as if there was someone or something to find* Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I swear I heard something there a few seconds back. Perhaps it is just the stress getting to my head. *continuing to look around he begins walking up a large staircase and about a thrid of the way up it hear hears a loud crash racing up the steps to see what it was* I know I heard something that time. But what? *as he comes to the top of the steps he reaches a large hallway and upon examining all the doors in the hallway his door appears to be open so he proceeds to approach the door with caution and his hand tightly gripped to his sword prepared for an attack but upon entering he lets out a sigh of reliefe relizing it is Havoc* Damn it Havoc you idiot. You just almost got yourself killed. *Havoc sits on Artsa's bed and laughs a bit chewing on his finger and shaking his head* "Artsa, Artsa, Artsa. All this time and you haven't changed one bit you know that? Still jumpy and still always on edge. Everyone isn't out to kill you, you know? Or then again maybe they are. I heard your war speach. Hell of a rant. You must really be bothered by something, but what is it?" *letting out a sigh Artsa walks over to a desk in the room and falls backwards into the chair* Well... Where do I start. First of all where have you been? It has been years, second of all Anti got out of Anthm and we sealed him in the underworld, and third of all I've taken over the old Kingdom and apparently now I'm at war. Suggestion? *Havoc lays back on the bed and sighs snickering to himself a bit* "Jeeze. My nephew is quite the big shot. Then again you all are and you always have been. Suggestions. Hm... Go to war? Your an Anti. Just tell Anthm and he and I will help you on this. I mean I'm sorry I disappeared that last time. I just was doing what your father told me." *he reaches in his pocket and throws Artsa two rings* "I knew you would be taking over your father's place sooner or later. And i order to official rule you'll need a bride. I'm assuming I'll meet the lovely lady real soon?" *Artsa stares at the rings with an odd look on his face and smiles* Sure will be. And thanks. It really means a lot to me. I just hope I can... *Havoc stands up from the bed walks over to him and puts his hand on his head shaking it a bit and messing up his hair* "Relax kid. You'll get her. I saw what you did with your power before with your ring. She gave that to you. You use your love for her as a weapon and that is the strongest weapon there is. It helped you defeat Anti didn't it?" *Artsa laughs a bit and smiles* Sure did. *Artsa puts the rings in the pocket of his jacket and looks at the ring on his right hand* "That's right. You'll be fine and so will she. We just need to explain things to Anthm and hell we'll take the fight to them if need be boy."

"My goddess it's time." Saiten spoke awaking Amira from her daze. She stood from her desk placing her coat on and buckling it shut. She looked down at her left hand breifly before nodding and following the old wizard down the stairs to the front gate. One of the platoon leaders handed her, her bow and reigns as she jumped onto the large black horse. Amira began to lead her troops through the portal to Anaria stopping just a hill away from the kingdom. She looked back at the thousands of demons, vampires, lycans, wizards, witches, and angels ready to attack on her command. She turned her horse around to face them. "I've never needed a speech to lead troops to war. That is because a warrior does not need justification to prove his loyalty no a warrior proves his loyalty with the tip of his sword, or the quiver in his arrow. As your leader I prove my loyalty by riding, fighting, and if so be it dying beside you. Today we fight for not just our people but the world for which our ancestors died to create. So listen now as our world cries out 'Come back with your sheilds glistend in valor or upon them in honor!' " The troops began to cheer as Amira turned around riding towards the kingdom. 'Anti when I'm through with you there will not be a sheild large enough to carry your shredded remains.'

*making his way down the main stairs of his castle he laughs to himself slightly as he puts a blank mask over his face one side black and one side white* This mask isn't quite my normal thing, but I'd like to hide my expressions during this fight. Pain is a sign of weakness and I'm experiencing a lot of it right now. *he continues walking through the middle of the town surrounding the castle making his way to the outter boundries* Well. Havoc isn't back with Anthm yet so I suppose it is just me by myself in this one. No matter. I am apparently the one on trial hear so I will be the only one to suffer. *he approaches where the army stands and holds out his right arm which glows with a light as the ring turns into a large gauntlet up his entire arm to his shoulder* Well now. I suppose... *he grabs hold of his sword and unsheathes it pointing it in the direction of the army* Let's get this started then. *the sky fills with clouds blacking out the sun and the wind is the only thing that can be heard*

Amira stopped when she saw a masked man approaching her army.'A mask?' Amira thought narrowing her eyes slightly. At the weather change one of the Angels approached her."Almighty Goddess what is your command?"Amira looked ahead then back at the angel," Stay long range for now. It's been a while since I've fought Anti we need to see what he's capable of. Ready the archers and have the footmen fall back for now." Amira pulled her horse to a stop beside the line of archers. She raised her bow in the air looking at the archer's and with one swift motion a flurry of iron began to fall towards Artsa.' Show me what you've got coward.'

*he leans back a bit and spins his sword in a figure eigth above himself and as the hail of arrows swallows him he appears standing still spinning his sword and then stops it on its side with all of the arrow heads from the arrows that would of hit him rest on his blade* If your going to kill me then just do it! *he tilts his sword forward and as the arrow heads slide and fall as he spins around hitting them with the sheath of his sword and the arrows heads hit a few archers in her front line not injuring any of them fataly* Next? *one flies past her head knicking her hair as he stands there staring at her and taking a battle stance*

Amira touches near her cheek feeling a small amount of blood from the cut. The wind alone had knicked her skin she smiled a bit. "My Goddess are you all right?" One of the men spoke worried. "I'm fine. It's nice to know I can bleed."She slid off her horse handing the reigns to a platoon leader. "Stay here. If I fall then lead these men and take him down." Amira spoke as shewalked towards the masked man stringing an arrow. "Play times over Anti!" She spoke as she fired the arrow at an alarming speed running towards him ready to pounce.

*pointing his sword straight out he splits the arrow straight in half then spins his sword sheathing it slowly and not flinching as he watches her approach* Then kill me already! *taking a fighting stance the gauntlet on his arm is reduced back the the ring it was before as he takes a deep breathe and exhales closing his eyes*

She tackles him straight into the ground pinning him tightly."First I want to see the look on your face when I take away your life like you took away mine!" She ripped the mask off his face with one hand the other on his neck. Her grip loosend as she dropped the mask shaking slightly,"A-Artsa?"She then shook her head angrily. "Stop it Anti! Coward! Show me your true face!" She smacked him hard across the cheek tears streaming down her own.
