Zephyr awakes in the dream, this time its just him and Alehyeria. “Morning.”She says jokingly as Zephyr gets up. “So what do you need from me this time?” Zephyr asks calmly. “First off i’d like to congratulate you on the recent raid. You did well and we definitely hurt there supplies. As for the second thong i think I know how we should make our grand reveal!.” Alehyeria says.
“What’s the plan!?” Zephyr says excited. “Well since there’s gonna be a battle between the Light and Dark Occults i think that’s when we should take the stage!”Alehyeria says in an announcer like voice. “I like the plan so what do we need to do?” Zephyr asks. “For now simply go and scout the beach and make a map as well.”Alehyeria says “I’ll meet you and the others in the dream tomorrow.” Alehyeria adds as the dream disappears.

Zephyr awakes then gathers the crew at the base. After some talking it’s decided that Storm and Zephyr will be the ones to head to the beach and analyze it. After some walking they arrive at Alial Beach, the edge of the Kingdom of Alial and one edge of the continent of Askcren. As they arrive they gaze out into the vast sandy beach and the clear ocean water. But as much as they’d love to look into the beautiful vastness of it they are instead only able to focus on what seems to be a curved black makeshift fort being made in front of them.
The fort is tall,curved and pitch black and though the builders are rushing to build it they remain precise and careful. Zephyr and Storm remain hidden as they sketch the building down and map out the beach.
“PULL THAT THING LEFT!” a female worker shouts at a few other workers who are about to pull up a tall black spire. Once the spire is erected zephyr sketches it down.
“Look over there.” Storm whispers into Zephyr’s ear. Zephyr looks to his left at where Storms pointing and sees a container witch seems to be filled with some lava. Zephyr takes note of it and the two then leave.

Zephyr and Storm return to base with a map of the beach and some of the fort. The two lay down the map and Marrieoct and Eva examine it.
“What are they planning with the lave?” Eva asks. “We don't know sadly.” Storm responds. “They could be planning to pour it on the battlefield towards the sea.”Zephyr says “though i can’t confirm this it seems the most likely since they don't have a clue about us coming after them though they might expect it.”Zephyr adds.
“So should we come in from behind?” Marrieoct asks. “Yes but i think we should try to get onto the top of the base rather than the inside so tomorrow could you get grappling hooks?” Zephyr asks
“Yes I can though, a grappling hook won't be able to support eva.” Marrieoct says “Don’t worry ive got built in one.” Eva says “Good that's all for now i'll contact you if plans change tomorrow till then you all are dismissed!”
Zephyr shouts as the crew leave. Zephyr afterwards goes home.

Zephyr that night finds himself in the Reverie of Design with Alehyeria. “Good job liking the plan so far!” She says “But there are a few things I'd add.” she adds. “Like what?” Zephyr asks intrigued “Well the Light Occult likes to show wars live in order to show superiority. So why don't you put on a show!” She says putting one hand on her chest and the other in the air as she cocks her head up.
“Any suggestions.” Zephyr asks and with that the rest of zephyr’s time in the reverie is Alehyeria giving ideas to put on quite the show. After all is done zephyr now has plenty of ideas. The two bid each other goodbye and the reverie disappears.

The next day consists of the crew planning and training, afterwards the crew then go home and go to bed. Once they awake they head to their base. however some trouble arrives. “Dammit they locked down the city!” Zephyr says. As him, Marrieoct and Storm see guards blocking the entrances. “Should've expected this to be honest.” Storm says.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“What now?”Marrieoct asks. Storm then puts up his cloak and zephyr puts on his mask. Storm then shoves and extra cloak to Marrieoct. “We rush in head first!” zephyr says as Marrieoct puts the cloak on awkwardly. Storm then gets closer and quickly aims his sword at the guards. He then shoots a giant gust of wind at them sending them flying as the crew rush out of Alial.
The crew are luckily not followed and are able to make it to there base; they recoup with Eva and get ready for war. “Are we ready?”Zephyr asks with the maks still on his face. “Yes!” the crew responds with vigor. And with that they head out to war.
~
The crew arrive at the beach under a dark evening sky, in front of the now completed fort though it’s shaped more like an arena. The sounds of war echo through the air. The crew then grapple atop the fort.
They look out and see that the battle is mainly taking place at the beach. Zephyr then looks at the center of the fort, an open area covered in black metal. He sees Aleind holding a blade with a metal hilt. It is straight and plasma-like with two sword shapes curving outward of the middle one. It is made from light energy and has a red hue to it.
“The blade of light.”zephyr angrily mutters. He then looks to the front of Aleind and sees a tall being covered head to toe in pitch black armor. The armor is small and skin tight. The helmet looks like a pitch black crown was attached on it and the front visor area is cracked with red seams. He holds a slim pitch black yet. blocky scythe.
The being approaches Aleind. "Marrieoct is there anyway you can enhance there audio?" Zephyr asks
"Yes!" Marrieoct says as he casts a spell.
"You!" Aleind says with anger to the being. "Aleind it's been a few years!" The Being says with Vicous yet cocky rage in its voice.
The two then begin exchanging blows. Zephyr watches for a moment as the two's blades clash with each other as violence echoes in their minds. Zephyr then orders the crew to stay behind and launch fireworks on his signal. He then continues to the wall till he can easily get down safely yet extravagantly.
Zephyr then finds a good place to launch himself straight into the middle of the battle. "3..2..1!" He shouts as he launches across the battlefield. Blue and green fireworks then launch as he lands straight into the fray of battle.
He then unsheathes his sword and points it at the two. The being and Aleind stop and look in his direction.
"Oh Aleind you didn't tell me somebody else would be joining our little bout!" The Being says. Aleind looks at zephyr with a raging fire in his eyes. "YOU YOURE THE TERRORIST!" Aleind says as he clutches the sword of light in his hand.
"That's right TIS I! the leader of the Order of The gray!" Zephyr shouts with his voice changer on. "Oh so they've returned!" The beings says. Aleind grunts angrily. "WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS!" Aleind shouts at zephyr.
"My goals are alot." Zephyr says as he pauses for a moment. he then puts his hand to his heart and says "I AM THE WIND OF CHANGE, THE BITE OF REBELLION THE VOICE OF SENTIENCE. YOU ALEIND AND YOU WHO I ASSUME IS THE GOD OF DARKNESS HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A BLIGHT ON OUR LIVES.. AND I SHALLL SLAY YOU BOTH. IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY!" Zephyr shouts at the two. "Ooo big words!" The God of darkness says. "Whoever you are you will be dying here!" Aleind says.
Aleind then rushes at zephyr with his blade; he then goes in for a jump attack. Zephyr then takes his sword and blocks Aleind's blade. *CHZZZT* The blades go scrapping against each other as the two try to overpower eachother.
"Perfect." The God of darkness says. The two then look to there side amd see the God of darkness to there side. His scythe has shape-shifted into a gun the gun is long and slim. He then points it at the two and fires the aleind is able to dodge but zephyr gets hit directly.
Zephyr gets up but is forced to a kneel. "Hmm Normally I'd end things now but I want to see how things progress so I'll leave aleind to deal with you." The God of darkness says, as him and the army retreats. Aleind then appears in front of zephyr
"Before I kill you I need to know just who are you." Aleind says as he puts his blade on Zephyr's neck. Zephyr is silent. "Fine then betrayer of the one true God, the goddess of light.. say your prayers" aleind says as he swings his blade at zephyr. When suddenly Zephyr's mask glows blue.
A wave of Blue fire erupts from the mask and sends aleind going back a little bit..
Zephyr feeling invigorated stands up. "WHAT THE!" Aleind says as he looks at zephyr who has the ghost of Alehyeria standing behind him. Zephyr then realizes that Alehyeria is there behind him now with a translucent and flame like hue to her. "Huh" Zephyr quietly mutters confused for moment.
He then quickly gets himself together. And brings his sword out. Alehyeria then shoots a rocket at Aleind's feet. "Zephyr." Zephyr says. "Huh!" Aleind says scared. "You asked for my name now you know it!" Zephyr says. "C..cousin!" Aleind says. Aleind stares at zephyr for a moment, with rage and fear in his eyes. He then orders a retreat. In less then a second Aleind and the light occult are gone.
Zephyr’s crew then came out. “Well we definitely can't go back to Alial.” Storm says. “Let's head back to our base for now.” Zephyr mutters and with that the crew head to their base.
