--A Long Road--
Besides the occasional beast attacks the journey between Anauel and Lilly was peaceful, occasionally bouncing her on his shoulder causing a fit of giggles or the time he scares her causing a nice squeak, another giggle, and then a game of hide and seek. To most this was practically unthinkable as beasts the size of two stories houses lived in said forest they were deciding to play in, many of them dieing by a enchanted wooden stick he had used to defeat Faylen. A guild leader back in the first town he ever visited in this world. "Rawr~" Anauel grinned and made a fake sounding monster noise as he closed in on Lily, causing her tiny legs to move and run away from Anauel. "The monster is going to get you, mwhahaha!" a weird evil, but somehow playful, evil laugh erupted from his lips as he came up behind Lily and picked her up in the air. "Oh no, the monster go me!" The thick sound of laughter filled the small section of the forest they were in.
Setting Lily on his shoulder's like he always did he walked back over to there make shift came and began packing it up. "Another day and you will be at the city, you can meet your family." Smiling brightly he patted her on the head which caused a beaming smile from the child as before long they were back on the road, Lily sitting on top of his head and looking around like a scout would in a watchtower. "Fluffy Rabbit over there!" pointing her tiny hands out in a general direction Anauel quickly made a very over the top flashy show of his powers as he shot a lightning bolt at the poor critter. "Mission Success!" Lily laughed out and cheered with her hands in the air.
Anauel and her continued this game until they reached the Plains, of course after some time many of the beasts kept away from the rode this duo was on in complete fear of being BBQ and used for food, as many of the critters Anauel killed while Lilly spotted was used for just that. Food. It was quite delicious according to Lily as well. Anauel made a low sounding whistle in appreciation. "Well look at that, talk about a nice looking city right?" Before the two was a beast man city that seemed to shine, even in the daylight. "Who knew a race like this could build such interesting things." Walking towards the large gate that held almost no line of people he quickly was greeted with guards but then the most unusual thing happened, the two up front held a shocked gaze and drew there weapons. One held a long sword while the other a spear. "You! Halt!" Stopping in front of the guards one of them let out a sound that seemed to gather guards towards the front gate, bows and arrows with people wielding them now leaning over the walls towards him. "Hey now, quite rude don't you think?" Arching his brow Anauel slowly shifted his posture, his knees bent to the point of almost noticeable as he had to make sure to protect the child from fire.
"What is your name and why do you hold the Princess on your shoulders!" One of the guards yelled out before men in plate stormed out the front and slowly began circling him, cutting off his retreat. Anauel sighed and eye the guard before looking up to Lilly. "Your a Princess hun? Why did you not tell me?" Holding a bit of stern voice. Lily pouted in response and wiggled. "Everyone else does not play with me when they figure out." With a slight teary expression, Anauel reached up to pat her head. "Its alright hun, your not in trouble." The guard at this point was ticked off as he was seemly ignored. "You Fucker.." Growling he charged valiantly towards Anauel, sword raised in what was a standard battle stance for there raise.
It was not until the man felt like he was floating in did he misjudge Anauel, with the males feet kicked out from under him he went sliding into the dirt. Chuckling Anauel looked around. "Who might your commander be dear soldiers? I would really not like to kill any of your and resolve this peacefully if possible?" Anauel moved over to the guard on the ground and put his foot on the soldier's back, preventing him from getting up. The man did struggle but it was no avail. Soon what looked like a older beast man came out, his green scale's along his skin as well as his slit eyes showed of snake or lizard type heritage. Decked out in what looked like a mix of leather and chain mail.
(Note: Think Geralt's first outfit from Witcher 3)
"You called?" With a cocked brow the man who seemed to be in charge eyed Anauel, keeping his hands at his sides since instincts yelled out at him not piss off Anauel, his power well hidden yes but parts of it still leaked out. "Ah yes~" clapping his hands together Anauel peered over at the commander. "I am Anauel, i do believe this is a misunderstanding. I saved Lily here from a group of Slavers a bit far in the forest. I did not mean any harm, she even pointed me where to return her to the family? Or Royal Family now i guess?" Anauel quickly spoke out the previous encounter at how he met the girl on his shoulders that was currently messing with Anauel's faded red hair, a giggle or two escaping. Letting out a deep sigh the commander rubbed the bridge of his nose. "I see...well do come inside then, my name is Commander Servitor. I lead the 2nd battalion under Lord Fury's command. We shall discuss these details you have just told me inside." With a motion of his hands the soldiers snapped to attention before retreating back in to the city, in proper formation to it seems. The archers no longer aiming at Anauel and returning to there old posts.
--Inside a Fort?--
At first glance Anauel saw this place as a lovely city but that was until he walked inside and no citizens were roaming the streets, instead houses looked like they had heavy damage. Fire damage along with houses that even crumbled under what were giant boulders. "Looks like you guys had a fun party huh?" Anauel spoke up as he looked around at the damage. Servitor merely shook his head. "Elves, they summoned Golems and have been using gorilla tactic on us for days now. Cut off are supply line from the other city. We cant even evacute citizens without the fear of them dieing." Servitor spoke with a flat tone but Anauel could notice the hidden rage behind it, the struggle a commander went through. "I see."
Walking until both Anauel and Servitor went inside what looked like a large stone building that seemed to be the headquarters of the army, multiple people running around with either weapons or wounded being transported to a large white tent. Groaning and moans of pain heard within. The sound of repairs also was thick in the air, swords, shields, and armor being fixed from either dents or arrow holes. "Seems like your indeed have your hands full huh?" Servitor and Anauel soon were sitting down around a table which showed the city in middle as well as the outskirts around it. "So..you said you found Milady at a Slavers camp?" Anauel attention was grabbed by the man. Lily at this point hoped off Anauel's shoulders and went exploring around the stone house. "Guards! defend her with your life and keep your eyes on her at all times!" With a quick salute 2 Men and 1 Woman followed Lily.

Leaning back in the somewhat comfortable chair Anauel peered over at the man once more, pushing out his magical sense to get a gauge at Servitor and was presented with power equal to Faylen. "Yes, i found her at a Slavers camp a long with many other people. Beast and Elf included." Scratching his head Anauel was sure he was about to be questioned thoroughly. "So troublesome.." grumbling in a low tone he waited for more questions. Over the course of 15 minutes Servitor stopped his questions and seemed somewhat pleased. "I thank you for saving milady from trouble, i can not tell you how much gratitude we can give you." Standing up from his chair Servitor gave a low bow which caused Anauel to freak out. "Hey now! No need to bow!" Anauel felt like royalty once more and in his mind he grumbled. It was not until multiple voices yelled out "Invasion!" that Anauel and Savitor ran out the stone building. Looking up in to the sky where a large boulder was racing towards there location did Anauel grimace. "Shit.."
With a quick dash off the ground which caused stones of the road to break and scatter under the force of his legs, Anauel reached where the boulder was going to land and with one hand reached out. Anauels finger dug deep in to the boulder that was easily hundred times his size, much like a bowling ball but with all the fingers, with a loud yell Anauel screamed out. "And back to ya!" the large boulder was tossed back towards where it came with increase speed, a blast of air coming from the boulder breaking the sound barrier pushed many of the soldiers off there feet. With Servitors enlarge eyes at the sight before him as well as soldiers cheering from a hope that could help them win, Anauel looked towards the commander. "I will be right back, protect Lilly. Or else." Anauel's voice held a firm tone that leaked out a bit of his powers, Servitor's shiver from it gave Anauel a big grin before he kicked off the road and literally jumped the distance from the middle of the city to outside the gate.
--Outside the Fort-
The fighting between the fort and Elves this time was different, realizing the beast men were on there last feet from the starvation of food for at least a week and reduced numbers from multiple skirmishes they finally launched a full assualt. Everything was going well and a Earth Golem picked up and launched a boulder in to the city but then the weirdest thing happened, within the span of a second the Golem was destroyed. The same boulder hitting it and smashing it to pieces causing many of the Elven army to go wide eyed and hesitate for a moment.
With a loud crash and a small explosion of dirt flying everywhere from Anauel landing, Silence soon followed. The halting of archer fire from both sides, Golems ceasing there stone throwing, and the beasts that came with the elves as a secondary assault force. All eyes were clued to Anauel as he stepped out of the crater he made and stood before a army numbering in the hundred of thousands, the elves did not hold back the major defensive. Of course the elves themselves only made up 1/4 of the actual army where Magical Golems of multiple sizes and beasts ranging from wolves to birds.
(Note: Need this Music! [Fight!] Also play it on Part 2!)
With a loud voice that held blood lust and unimaginable power Anauel spoke. "You shall leave this place now! Or i shall permentaly end your putrid lives.." again, something trigger inside Anauel like last time and before the army was a Demon. Orange glowing eyes, smoke escaping out the side of his mouth, and a sword that leaked a aura of death. "ITSUKI!!" with a loud yell from Anauel, black aura began coming out of Anauel chest and spreading over his body like armor. Starting from a mist like shape before slightly hardening and coming in to the appearance of full plate, the mist still slightly see through on closer inspection but gave enough protection to stop full on Nova waves from a star exploding. "This is your last chance."
The morale in the army of the monsters and elves dropped but he was still one man and within the ranks of the army the commander called out. "We have numbers! Training! As well as our Goddesses protection! Do not fear this man and take our land back!" With a commanding voice that held confidence the army charged...
--The Massacre--
No one can tell you how terrifying a full on army charging at someone or something is not terrifying, the ground underneath there feet shake and a cause that a army fights for without caring for losses is..scary. The soldiers on the top walls shivered in there boots as they knew nothing could be done but they would fight, even if it meant with there teeth or broken hands after killing there enemies. Little did they know Anauel's other side relished this feeling of fear, turning it in to something more and like a crazy warrior charged towards the army.
The first clash between him and the front line was brutal to say the least, Anauel's sword cut through dozens of elves and beasts. Blood and bodily parts flying everywhere as a evil laugh escaped his lips. A arm here, a head there, piece of armor or weapon occasionally was flying in to the air as before long Anauel was once more covered in the blood and gore of his enemies. "Come on fuckers! Kill me!" Not only his sword in use, Anauel's hand punched foes that scattered there body like a shotgun round towards unarmored foes. Both the army of Elves and Anauel's assault were like two rapid dogs going after one another as Anauel ripped out a elves spin and tosses it like a javelin as he imbued mana in to it, tossing it at screaming speeds as another Golem crumbled from Anauel's strength.
Multiple weapons broke as they glanced off or Anauel's armor while some even turned to ash, the warriors hand before Anauel turned around and sliced off the man's head along with body, one for a killing shot while the other cleave through the others behind him. The beast men archers on the walls were busy as well, arrows flying over and landing on the Elven army killing thousands as well while they were drawn to Anauel, drawn in by his blood lust that held a mental effect. Servitor was soon on the walls over looking the walls with troops from deeper in the city and nothing could prepare him for the sight before him. The ground was stained in red in front of the city, mutilated bodies and parts of the enemy force scattered around, the occasional
body or two flying out from the army surrounding Anauel. "My God.."
Many of the men on the wall agreed with there Commander, after the dozen of volleys from the defends on the fort walls they ran out of ammo to continue and merely watch Anauel. "He is like a Black Demon.." Servitor spoke the words in a hushed tone as he watched..
