THIRD PERSON POV
Seraphina walked with purpose. Behind her two Argon followed. Their gaits were measured and their exchanged looks carried worries in them. The Argn Argrarn led them to a hut larger than the others in the village.
Pushing the flap open she walked in whilst beckoning them with a simple gaze. It was easy to see the Argn wasn't so pleased. Inside the hut was dark and illuminated only by the little light that filtered in through the window and the door spaces.
"Pick a Yokt for yourself and a Ra'kit. You will be mostly useless with it but who knows. Maybe an Arg'pheyso blessing will work wonders". She smiled thinly, a look that didn't give her a less-than-predatory look.
Both Argon strolled through the room. The Ra'kitn on display were old or newly made but not sold ones. Strong and thick. With strings that hummed with power when drawn.
Aeris found choosing a Yokt easy. A Ra'kit, not so much. To his side, Skyhorn was already done with selecting a Ra'kit. Now he was busy finding a better piece of Unerp for his body.
It took a few more minutes but soon enough both were done. Now adorned in better and broader Unerpn the duo resembled seasoned Argrarn.
"Hopefully fight as good as the Unerp makes you look". Seraphina motioned both to follow.
Outside was already busy. With the Argeon and Argalorn already evacuated all that were present were Arg'mar(warriors). In total were only eighteen.
"This is why we're so weak and looked down on as a village". Skyhorn murmured.
"Maybe if the capable ones stopped fleeing off to kiss the Aerondan's backside we would be better". Seraphina bit back.
"That's why your so pissed. Arg'pheyso reminds you of the Aerondan". Skyhorn stiffened and Seraphina locked Aeris with a glare before shaking her head and walking off to meet with Talon.
"Argome(Brother/Brother mine). I get we both have been blessed. But if you get into her bad graces. No Arg'pheyso will save you". Skyhorn chuckled.
Seraphina returned quickly and sized us both up. "You'll both have to do and your blessings should be enough". Looking at Aeris her stance changed and her tone took on a severity that told both Argon that this was no more jokes time.
"Arg'gor Skylark, your orders are to find the Arg'baln in the Verdant veil forest. Inform them and help them clear a path out of the woods to join up with the Arg'mar".
"Sorry to ask Arg'rar, what is the plan for delaying and pushing back the Red ones if we're to free our reinforcements?".
Seraphina frowned. "The Arg'baln are the chance for this. Hopefully the Arg'baln of the other villages are available to help push back the Red ones. If so we'll be in a good position".
"If not, we'll be in a bad one". Seraphina nodded at Aeris.
"Now go". Both Argonnes watched as the Argo took off in a run before spreading out his Argannen and taking off with a powerful flap. The sand at his feet blew up violently as he was shot more meters above than normal. Spinning midair he oriented himself and then took off to the west.
"What is it like to be blessed?". The question was unexpected but Skyhorn didn't show an expression.
"Honestly. It's more than the blessing". He turned to her and smiled. "It's more". She nodded.
"We need you and the Arg'mar to cause trouble amongst the raid parties. Considering our village was emptied and there is none to protect here all fighters are going to the other villages to perform attacks. You are with me. Talon will lead another group to the last village. Let's go".

THIRD PERSON POV
Aeris flew to the treetops at such speeds it was borderline criminal. He'd known the difference he'd perceived after his blessing but using it for a prolonged period made him realize just how much of a cheat having an Arg'pheyso blessing was.
Lost in thoughts he like all other Argonna didn't forget to keep an attention to the ground. This did wonders to help him catch the ongoing violence below.
Coming in from the east he was backed by an army of goblins defending and throwing offensive against a small ragtag bunch of Argon.
"The Arg'baln". Surprised at the speed with which he'd found them Aeris halted midair using a tree branch as cover.
"Okay let's do this. I have a Ra'tik now. And this whole thing should be able to get me a decent shot". Pulling up his template he quickly tried accessing it once more while muttering about how much of an Aerondan, Aerondir was.
But something clicked into his view. A message of sorts one that made him almost lose balance if not for him slowly getting used to words in his face.

"Wow. That's a lot. But this doesn't give me any help in Ra'tik". Looking at the Ra'tik he'd been hoping to use he frowned. 'Wait a minute. Windborne. It increases my accuracy. Does that mean I must be flying '.
Without waiting he drew an arrow, notched it on the string, and took aim. His arm vibrated a bit from strain. 'Powerful'. He eyed the string. 'No wonder it's a weapon for the strong'. His gaze turned to Arg'baln.
'How strong are they for them to wield this without aid from the Akashic Records'. He frowned. Then he realized. The records didn't make him stronger. It simply gave him skills and abilities. His divine blessing didn't make him powerful just better with his wings and more resilient. 'Plus a healing power I don't know how to use yet'.
All in all, it was obvious to him that while he was weaker than the Arg'baln with training and resolve he could get to their level and hopefully surpass them.
'Eh, not like they won't surpass me once everyone knows about the Akashic Records. Still, I wonder if the Arg'pheyso would bless everyone ". He shrugged and looked down at the fight ongoing. Taking as proper an aim as he could his fingers slipped and the arrow was shot off.
It flew true and embedded into a tree. 'Okay'.It wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't perfect. It showed how much better at using Ra'tik an Argonne could be.
He notched another arrow, aimed then flapped his Argannen with power. Bursting out of the tree he felt his mind steady, his breathing slow, his hands lose their quiver. It was like a guiding force held him and edged him into the perfect stance.
His Argannen spread behind ready to flap just as his mind told him it was now. His fingers let go, the string let off the silent vibration of power, and the arrow slipped through the Ra'tik firmly, cutting through the air like a bird itself. He could see it, follow it, the wobbling shaft of the arrow. The head cutting through space.
The scream of the Red goblin as the arrow found its neck brought attention to the canopies. Aries didn't care. He wasn't here to fight. He was here to aid and alert the Arg'baln. He'd gotten a boon in return. Diving low he darted through trees and around gigantic tree barks.
Flying fast and swiftly made him realize how Aerial maneuvering didn't just help him in the sky. 'As long as my feet do not touch the ground'. He spun around a tree and rushed back for the fight. The Arg'baln had noticed his presence in the trees and were already attacking more ferociously.
Something about Arg'baln was the amount of arrows carried. With a weapon where superiority was showcased running out of arrows was frowned at.
It was no surprise that the Arg'baln had solved this by the amount of Quivers carried. Wielding smaller Yotkn they had four to five strapped on their bodies each holding a set number of arrows even Aeris didn't know.
As such he wasn't bothered about them running out. Something to his right caught his eye. Movement on the trees. His head spun sharply in that direction and he flinched as a red one leaped from the tree to land on his flying figure.
The flinch helped to move a bit making the red one miss and fall. But it wasn't the only one. Several Red ones scurried and climbed up the tree chittering and yelling in rage and anger as they dove for him.
Weaving and banking like a bird he dodged their jumps. Flapping his Argannen he took to the canopies before soaring round and dropping down.
'Using my Ra'kit is good but I'm not good enough to shoot those many arrows". His eyes went to the Arg'baln, their hands a fluid motion of retrieve, notch, quick draw, and fire. Aeris refused to believe they were aiming because the space between drawing and firing was so minimal it was as impossible as there being an Arg'pheyso.
More divings took his attention to what mattered. And just in time, he found a Red One swinging with a Vine right to his face. The problem wasn't dodging it. It was the other ones doing the same while many dropped from trees and branches as well.
'Tempest Strike'. His mind seemed to expand.
'Look not within. But beyond. Stretch your desire your imagination and your want to form your will'.
He felt a shiver go down his neck as words entered his ears and registered into his brain.
'Bear your will upon reality and know it shall be so'.
It was like a finality that he could not escape but at the same time, Aeris felt himself follow. He knew the voice after all. The how of the matter was something he could shrug off as Arg'pheyso power. For now, he focused. He saw what he wanted and what he willed for.
The goblin's shriek pulled his eyes open. His left hand wielding Ra'tik moved back and his right came forward. His intent to grab his Yotk
was forgotten as time ran out. He swung with his palm like a Yotk.
Turbulence. The very space in between both Argonne and Red Goblin blasted apart as wind in the form of a long blade strike cut through the air. Blood flowed, bodies fell and even trees rattled.
Aeris thrown back from the force of the strike fought with his Argannen to catch himself till his feet found a bark and using his right hand he quickly caught onto a vine and held himself in place.
"What was that?!". Shocked and terrified at the confusion he looked around.
"You, my friend, have wielded the power of your mind. Brought your Abstract to reality, and wielded Akasha to form that". Next to him, the Arg'pheyso appeared in all his glory. Similar to what he'd looked like when he'd held the Red ones off before.
Aeris stared mesmerized for a moment by the perfection of Argonne he was seeing before he followed the pointing hand of the Arg'pheyso.
Destruction. Not much. But it was something no Argonne should have been capable of. Been able to do. No one but the Aerondan.
"Go, meet your Arg'baln. Alert them. This move should rattle the Red Ones enough for a victory to be sniffed. Now go". With a grin, the Arg'pheyso dropped from the branch and down out of sight. Aries rushed to the edge glancing below to find nothing.
His eyes went to his right hand as he took heavy breaths. Then up to the sight before him. It clicked in his head just how much change was arriving now.
'We can do this. With Skyhorn too and everyone. It's possible'.
