Weeks pass after the bodies of the final battlefield for Gheranto and Itimkratas kingdom were buried Scyera enters Cykarts shop. Cykart is holding the scythe previously owned by Scyeras mother now repaired and upgraded with some Geirniam and a metal handle with soft spots for her hands to hold comfortably.
"I see you did everything I wanted Cykart" Scyera says
"Yeah I did, for such an old weapon it was still in an alright condition so it took lass time to repair than expected" Cyakrt says
Scyera takes the scythe from him.
"Thanks" Sycera says as she walks out
"No problem" Cykart says back
In Reinholm castles war room Reinlas, Laraka, linra with Gheranto and itimkrata are planning the next siege. Gheranto and itimkrata look over the map of the area around the next city under Keireens control called Toranerk, they know the area and city well or at least used to and they have grim looks on their faces as they look upon the map. Reinlas looks at them.
"Bringing up old memories?" Reinlas asks
"Yes, more than we want" Gheranto and Itimkrata say
"The city and surrounding area has changed a lot but unless it was all torn down and rebuilt old parts of the city should have some of their old weak points. So do you have any idea?" Linra asks
"We had multiple underground tunnels which were to be used by those who didnt have magic so they could escape should it be needed. The tunnels lead to multiple surrounding mountains but there were also multiple fake tunnels anyone trying to get through without knowledge of those tunnels we instructed people to give each other had a chance to get lost or even die" Gheranto says
"Well, that certainly complicates things though you will be able to help us in that regard hopefully unless they have been covered up" Laraka says
"Chances are they wouldn't have gone through the trouble of getting rid of them completely, we had similar tunnels in other cities which we managed to sneak back into using them" Itimkrata says
"Good to know" Reinlas says
When reinlas stops speaking an elite warrior runs into the room.
"Apologies for bursting in but I have urgent news!" The warrior shouts
"Speak then" Reinlas says
"Scyera and Lieran have left towards Toranerk with the intent to take it back themselves" The warrior says
No one says anything and jsut look at eachother until Reinals looks at Laraka.
"Chances of success?" Reinlas asks
"They are high unless Keireen appears to defend the city himself" Laraka says
"Alright. Get some reinforcements for them and put them nearby to the city to help if they are needed" Reinlas says
"On it" Laraka says as he walks out with the warrior
On a mountain near Toranerk Scyera looks towards the city with Lieran at her side.
"Take your mist soldiers and surround the city in hiding until you sense my mist in the middle of the city" Scyera says
"On it" Lieran says as she conjured her soldiers and gets Scyeras mist absorbed into them
Lieran leaves with her soldiers as scyera walks to a false rock wall and opens it and starts flooding it with her mist. The mist travels through the tunnel and its interconnected tunnels until it reaches multiple points throughout the city rising into the streets and filling them up as people look around confused. Lieran senses the massive amount of mist and sends her soldiers closer to the city walls where guards notice them.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"What the hell? Everyone else seeing those weird fucking soldiers?" One guard asks
"Yeah, we all are" Another guard responds
The guards after their moment of confusion quickly fire arrows or magic attacks towards the soldiers which explode upon contact causing the walls to become completely covered with the msit leading to the soldiers becoming blind and some even fall from the walls without magical aid. Lieran quickly conjures some trebuchets and uses earth magic to make boulders which launch at the walls putting massive holes into them causing mass confusion and panic. Scyera walks into her mist appearing in the city centre with her eyes glowing as they normally do in the mist, guards and civilians alike look at her some seemingly remembering something like her from long ago. Guards quickly rush towards her in the mist with their blades drawn but as they get close scyera quickly hooks their legs with both her scythes and trips them down to the ground where Krenatur appears and stomps on them till they are unconcious and broken. Krenatur roars liek a demonic dragon as he grows to the size of a giant striking fear into everyone around him and Scyera.
"Destroy the castle" Scyera says as Krenatur looks towards the castle which with its higher position is currently poking out of the mist
Krenatur roars in the castles direction as he flies to the end of the msit surrounding the castle, Krenatur knowing scyera wants fear grows more demonic dragon arms and they come flying out of the mist grabbing onto pieces of the castle and pulling them away breaking parts of the castle causing instability. Guards quickly start to use their magic to hold the castle up while people inside that dont have magic try to escape but Krenatur sees these guards and quickly grabs them slamming them into the ground and eating some eliciting screams of pain as they die. The guards abandon the castle as they throw their hands up in surrender but the rest of the city doesnt. Scyera sees guards congregating in an area the msit hasnt covered yet, she stops it from getting closer to them as she stares at those guards. The guards get into a defensive formation tracking her movements with her eyes. Scyera walks out of the mist scythes in hand, the guard move towards her with shields and magical barriers infront of them to stop her from attacking them. Scyera throws her scythes into the mist and they fly out of mist on the opposite side of the guards stabbing into the guards with magic in the back causing the barriers to drop. The guards quickly start to move forward to get try and attack her before they get attacked again but scyera quickly ducks into the mist and Krenaturs demonic giant arm emerges from the msit grabbing the shields and crushing them as scyera jumps out of the mist grabbing her scythes and stabbing through the guards legs and she twists her scythes to break the legs.
"Knock down the some more of the wall with Lieran then as the msit starts to leave, destroy what remains of the castle" Scyera says causing Krenatur to roar as he quickly starts destroying parts of the wall
Scyera walks into the mist and after a few minutes starts reducing the mist around the city to just around the castles walls so everyone can see the castle. Scyera looks through the mist allowing her glowing eyes to be seen across the city.
"Surrender! or you will face the same as the castle!" Scyera shouts as Krenaturs demonic dragon arms emerge from the mist once again but alongside his wings grabbing onto the castle and tearing it apart
Across the city guards surrender and as soon as they do the mist leaves entirely leaving scyera standing infront of the ruins of the castle and the reinforcements laraka was ordered to send arrive to keep the city under control. Lieran teleports to scyera after de-conjuring her trebuchets, Laraka teleports to them.
"Why did you come and do this you two? It was foolish but bold and I will admit it worked but why?" Laraka asks
"I just came along to help scyera, didnt want her doing this alone" Lieran says
"I came to do this because this was once my home Leirans too and obviously our respective families. After getting my mothers scythe and knowing of their sacrifice I jsut wanted to take it back even if it was foolish in hindsight though I will admit it went oddly smooth" Scyera says
"All the more reason to leave for now until we can organise the border contingent to move up" Laraka says
Both Lieran and Scyera nod as they teleport away with Laraka. Over in Keireens castle, Keireen is training with Ratankira, they talk as they fight.
"So Toranerk was taken?" Keireen asks as he dodges a sword slashing at his face
"Indeed, apparently scyera took the city almost alone, the spies were watching the entire time. They are still in the city awaiting further orders so, what are they?" Ratankira asks as he dodges and disappears quickly attackign Keireen from behind him
"Continue to monitor the city, but divert all attention to watching Gheranto and Itimkrata should they appear within the city. They have eluded me for far to long, I want them dead by my hands before I kill Reinlas so find out everything about them" Keireen says as he turns around grabbing Ratankiras blade holding it hard enough to make hsi hand bleed, Keireen promptly throws Ratankira using the blade
Ratankira hits a wall and shouts in slight pain.
"FUCK! Good throw, ill tell them immediately" Ratankira says as he telepathically tells his spies their orders
Keireen sheathes his blade.
"I will ensure their demise, they are the last remnants of that war and I sure as shit will end them. They may even help me kill Reinlas" Keireen says as he smirks leaving the training area to plan..
