The ships containing what remains of the soldiers who fought in the Geirlanth naval defence resurface in view of Reinholm and out of view of Keireens fleet and quickly manage to dock with the Geirlanth ports. Soldiers pour out of the ships takign bodies and prisoners with them, healers rush over to begin healing and Reinlas teleports there.
"What happened?" Reinlas asks
"They fucking launched delantramites from their ships which tore through our ships, nevermind everything else and that fucking dragon" Scyera says
"Dragon?" Reinlas asks confused
"During the fight the waves were being used so much that it awoke a water dragon from the ocean and the enemy used their tykema to get it to attack us decimating who we had left causing us to have to retreat" Lieran says
"Shit, lets hope they dont manage to bring it with them that will not end well" Reinlas says
"Indeed" Erina says
"Well we've been improving defences while you've all been gone though I will say I did not expect the ships to come from under the water" Reinlas says
"That was the idea of the field promoted captain of the ship we were on" Scyera says
"Who?" Reinlas asks
"Shes called Daiera, shes still on the ship helping others get off the ship if they are too injured to" Lieran says
"I shall speak to her after the coming fight, we need focus on that before anything else" Reinlas says as he teleports back to the castle
Reinlas orders more guards to get on duty and for more GEW presence in the city as well as the quick construction of new defences to try and be as best prepared as he can. He knows there isn't a lot of time before Keireens fleet comes in and he looks over his city.
"Others of the first hear me and grant us the strength to win this fight" Reinlas says as he senses something in the distance and teleports to the walls overlooking the docks
Reinlas looks into the distance and sees what seem to be small flames, his eyes widen.
"THEY'RE HERE! SHIELDS UP!" Reinlas shouts
Mages put up magical barriers and soldiers with normal shields hold them up to protect themselves as a barrage of arrows spanning the entire wall looking over the port is shot towards them, every arrow is a fire arrow and some overshoot and fire into the city lighting buildings on fire. Reinlas sees hundreds of soldiers and even civilians get killed or injured and lit on fire. Reinlas does his best to absorbs the fires so less people are hurt but he then hears the thundering, above causing hsi attention to shoot skyward as he sees the clouds gathering above the city as lightning begins to strike down across the city, focussing on the walls first so it takes out many more soldiers and damages the walls.
"FIRE BACK! DESTROY THEIR SHIPS!" Reinlas shouts and water mages work together to send a tidal wave towards the ships
Many ships get torn apart by the monstrous wave but just as many were able to stop the wave coming towards them and saved themselves and immediately start to fire again but this time they are shooting delantramites. The delantramites land in varius positions, some dont make it all the way and drown in the water, some land on the docks and make their way to the walls but most hit the walls taking down entire sections of the walls, breaching into the city. Now that the walls are coming apart Keireens fleet moves quickly towards Reinholms docks to start landing soldiers though one ship stays back to watch the fight from a distance.
"THEY BREACHED THE WALLS! EVERYONE OFF THE WALLS AND DOWN INTO THE CITY! WE MUST MEET THEM IN COMBAT NOW!" Reinlas shouts and everyone quickly jumps off the walls and down into the city
Survivng delantramites from the wall crashes or landing on the docks walk over to Reinlas's soldiers and begin to tear them apart, Vernamai jumps towards one behind Reinlas whos fighting a couple others but that delantramite grabs Vernamai mid air and tears his legs off and then throws him into the wall. Vernamai still concious uses speed magic to quickly crawl over to the same delantramite and manages to climb the delantramite while its holding some others and he quickly digs his daggers into the delantramites eyes deep enough to stab into its brain, killing it. The delantramite falls down releasing the soldiers it had been holding and takign vernamai down with it who now falls unconcious from blood loss. Reinlas turns around and grabs Vernamai teleporting him to the castle for healers to help him along with any too young to fight citizens who may be injured. As the ships get closer to Reinholms docks, Tykema are sent out of the ships and they fly over the cities guards, soldiers and houses and start to drop bombs but some fall from the sky getting memories of another life, the rest fall at different times. Regardless of the memories the Tykema get back up to fight nearby soldiers or to take fly and bomb some more but some did die from the fall.
"MAGES FLY UP AND TAKE THOSE TYKEMA OUT!" Reinlas shouts and the mages quickly follow the order and fight the tykema in the air
The Keireen ships dock and begin to offload soldiers who run into the fighting they dont have nearly as many soldiers as typical skirmishes or sieges due to losing soldiers on the destroyed ships from the tidal wave and the naval combat but they still have thouasands upon thousands offloading and storming the city, along with the delantramites and tykema they deal much damage as they barge through the current fighting line and starting to spread across the city. The soldiers are using all manner of magic to cause destruction and death, Keireens men find guard stations with many to be processed captured soldiers and free them bolstering their forces in the city. Keireens men if they arent fighting are lighting buildings on fire or calling down lightning to destroy other buildings but five seemingly in command soldiers are causing the most destruction as magic shoot out of them randomly and strongly but Reinlas sees this and remembers Farenhale talking about erratic magic.

"Shit! Erratic magic users this may be a problem" Reinlas thinks as he speeds towards them
All five of the erratic magic users begin to target reinlas as their eyes have different magics fill their eyes, from fire and ice to lightning, water and earth, in doing this they have let loose of all control and their magic begins to spiral out of control as they fight Reinlas. Reinlas puts up a barrier to try and block their magic but their magic is to strong especailly together and it breaks through as they all attack him. Reinlas is overwhelmed as he is struck with ice and then in the frozen spot it is struck with lightnign and rock at the same time, denting the armmour and sending a shockwave through the armour and Reinlas's body. The attack throws Reinlas back through some buildings.
"FUCK!" Reinlas shouts as he gets up and can feel some broken ribs
The five erratic magic users look at Reinlas, 3 of them have a menacing stare while 2 others look as if they dont want to be there.
"Take down those two and then have 3 to deal with" Reinlas says as his eyes turn red and he speeds towards the two who dont want to be there with flaming fists and he punches them hard enough to break their noses and he then grabs their heads and slams them down knocking them out
"Fire and ice down" Reinlas says as he gets up
"Just us left then huh?" The three erratic magic users say in unison
The erratic magic users start to feel pain across their bodies but they ignore it as the ground rumbles, the skies roar and the ocean nearby begins to bash at the still intact walls or flood streets it can get to, ther flooding disturbed fighting as soldiers get taken by the water. Lightning strikes from the skly across the city but alot of it strikes Reinlas consecutively. The sheer force from it brings Reinlas to his knees an his right arm breaks from one of the lightning bolts striking it, this causes Reinlas's eyes to turn a darker red. The erratic magic user with water in his eyes brings ice cold water over and makes a small tornado putting the water in it and Reinlas's gets sucked in any of the ice water that gets in his armour stings against what the lightning did to him. Soldiers try to come help Reinlas but quickly get crushed by the very ground beneath them because of the final erratic magic user, the citizens of Reinholm who can fight have had enough and come out of their homes in training armour to fight, they dare not get close to the fight with Reinlas due to knowing their deaths will come quickly. The citizens are still in training and have terrible armour but they want to fight and protect their home so they charge for where any Keireen soldier is in groups larger than the enemy soldiers so they can fight better.
"REINLAS!" Linra shouts as she runs over with Liara and Farenisle
The Erratic magic users look at them but keep attacking Reinlas with their magic.
Liara and Farenisles eyes turn completely black upons seeing Reinlas in what seems to be much pain, Liara makes a shadow scythe while Farenisle makes a shadow spear, they quickly charge towards the erratic magic users taking lightning bolts and small boulders to their chests but they try to ignore the pain and stab the water mage and lightning mage causign them to yell out in pain. Linra closes her eyes causing ehr magic to reach out to the wolves in Reinholm castle garden and some of the wolves heed her call and run to her taking short cuts and the pack leader tackles the earth mage biting into hid neck out of no where, killing him quick. Linra runs over to Reinlas and begins to heal him.
"Are you alright!?" Linra asks
"Better now that their magic is off me" Reinlas says
Liara hooks her scythe around the water mage and pulls them close and over her slamming them into the ground all the will digging the blade into them from the pull. Farenisle speeds forward with the lightning mage on his spear causing the lightning mage to be compeltely impaled by the shadow spear which farenisle then throws into a wall taking the lightning mage with it. The water mage begins to get up but his bodies pain increases to an intolerable level and hsi eyes begin to bleed so he stays down and begins to take control of his magic as the water evaporates from his eyes. The lightning mage pulls himself off the shadow spear but falls to the ground bleeding perfusely and lays down feeling the same as his water counterpart as the lightning stops striking in his eyes. Liara and farenisle run over to Reinlas and Linra.
"Father are you alright!?" They ask in unison
"I am fine and proud of your determination in that fight along with your skill" Reinlas says as he starts to get up and hsi right arm cracks as it heals
"Lets go finish this fight" Reinlas says as his eyes turn compeltely black and he grabs Kylorn and speeds into the fight with his children and wife and begin to tear up the enemy army until half a day has passed and the moon is high in the night sky
"That seems to be the last of them" Linra says
"Indeed, though some may remain disguised among the populace" Farenisle says
"Maybe, scans should be done" Liara says
"In due time, there is one remaining ship out at sea" Reinlas says as he points at it, the one that stayed behind
"What do we do?" Farenisle asks
"Hand me your shadow spear" Reinlas says
"Ok?" Farenisle says as he hands Reinlas the spear
Reinlas filled the spears shadows with near busting fire magic and he walks over to the docks and aims the spear with one hand and speeds backwards then forwards letting go of it before he reaches the end of the docks sending the spear miles away and it hits the ship exploding a hole into it and the ship quickly retreats out of sight.
"That works" Linra says as she pets the wolves that came to help
"Now we rebuild, no campaigns just rebuilding, but first I must speak to our people" Reinlas says
Linra, Liara and Farenisle nod as Reinlas uses telepathy across the city.
"Everyone, I am proud to say we have one the day all visible threats have been destroyed and Reinholm still stands, we all still stand and better yet this kingdom still stands to fight Keireens tyranny and evil another day! First we rebuild our city, our home, then we celeabrate and continue with the war. Today we stopped Keireens biggest push against us since the valley city. Thats our biggest victory let us savour it as we rebuild" Reinlas says
People cheer hearing it is truly over and begin to collect bodies and prisoners, bodies get taken out of the city to be buried with honor even enemy soldiers, they deserve full honors no matter the side they fought on. Prisoners are pt in cells the ones who love Keireens rule and his way of ruling a kingdom are put in a seperate prison from the false prison those who hate Keireen are put. Rebuilding goes underway but from flooding damage to damage done by other magics and delantramites it will take longer than they want.
