"Let's each take one." Kress takes on the knight to the left and runs toward him with her fangs bared.
Knight receives 14 damage 10/24 HP
Kress chomps on the knight, causing his armor to start cracking before he shakes her off and tries to retaliate.

Knight receives 6 damage 12/24 HP
Kit slashes at the same spot with her other claw, scratching through the armor further and drawing blood. The knight starts getting tired, but still tries his best to fight back.

Kit jumps out of the way of the lance before grabbing the shaft in her mouth. “Can I play with your pointy thing?”
Critical Hit! Knight receives 18 damage 0/24 HP
Kit steals the knight’s lance before jabbing it through the clawed opening in his armor. “I guess I played a little too rough. Oh well!”

Avalon takes on the knight in the middle. "Sleep well."

She howls and a golden light fills the room. She then darts past the knight multiple times with a powerful burst of light forming from each impact. The knight is quickly defeated and is armor is blasted to bits. With all three knights defeated, the three head into the last room. There the knight is seen moving up the stairs toward the vault. The three Laguz quickly give chase...
On the upper floor, Garu commands the other crows to finish off the Mercenaries while he handles the knights.

He lands back on the ground and looks to his sides, seeing more enemies come in from the staircase. On the left stairs, Darius the knight and two mages come running in. On the right staircase, Kress, Kit, and Avalon come running in. Kit's tail flicks around. "We finally got you cornered!"
Darius looks around, seeing that he is surrounded by enemies. "I'm not the one that's cornered." From the other end of the hall, a Taguel and two Cats come running in. "It looks like reinforcements are already here. Sir Gallant is right. With enough gold, you can make anyone do anything."
Garu looks disappointed. "I can't believe they would stoop so low as to turn on us just for money. The Taguel are supposed to be proud warriors."
Kress steps closer to Darius, growling. "...Don't step any closer."

The two make quick work of the cats, using their speed and power to overwhelm them. “...”

The Taguel turns to Kit and jumps toward her suddenly.

She’s hit with a powerful kick to the face, getting launched into the wall. “Hey! That hurt!” She lands back on her feet and starts to run back towards the Taguel.
Taguel receives 15 damage 2/17 HP
Kit slashes the Taguel’s side, damaging her pretty well. Kit then steps back and flicks her tail around. “Let’s play a game! I call it hide and go die!”
Playthings activates! Taguel receives 5 damage 1/17 HP
Kit chases the Taguel around the room for a little bit before seemingly disappearing. The Taguel looks around, confused, until seeing Kit above her. “Up here~” Kit breaks a chandelier being held above the Taguel and causes it to fall downwards while hopping off. The Taguel barely manages to dodge it, but is hit by some broken chandelier shards.
“Kit...you’re destroying my house…” Kress sighs before running in to finish off the Taguel.
Taguel receives 22 damage 0/17 HP
The Taguel is defeated by a bite to the neck and falls defeated. Kit jumps around excitedly and gives Kress a high five. Garu and his allies, on the other hand, were still busy with Darius.
Garu flies in at one of the mages, cawing at them.
Mage receives 17 damage 0/15 HP
He quickly flies past the mage, scratching and pecking him until the mage falls. The other mage is surrounded by the other birds.
Mage receives 14 damage 1/15 HP
The mage is pretty badly injured by one of the birds’ attacks, but throws a fire spell right back at them.
Bird receives 9 damage 7/16 HP
The bird is hit by a fireball launched out of the mage’s hand and a few burnt feathers fall to the ground. The bird lands to the ground, tired, and transforms out of bird form. Another one of the birds swoops in to finish the mage.
Mage receives 14 damage 0/15 HP
The mage is defeated by the other bird as it swoops down, landing a powerful blow on him and knocking him to the ground. Avalon stands at a distance from Darius, grabbing his attention. She barks at him and he attempts to attack with his spear.
Howl activates! Darius is paralyzed 32/32 HP
Avalon unleashes a mighty howl, freezing Darius in place as a golden ring of light stops him from moving. Garu flies in to take advantage of Darius’ paralysis.
Darius receives 6 damage 26/32 HP
Darius receives 6 damage 20/32 HP
Garu quickly darts past Darius twice, slashing at him, but Darius doesn’t seem to be too fazed by it. He struggles with the golden glow, eventually getting released from it, but that gives Garu enough time to attack once again.
Darius receives 6 damage 14/32 HP
Garu lands another free attack, but Darius finally breaks free and goes in for a jab at Garu.
Miss! Garu receives no damage 9/18 HP
Garu manages to dodge the attack, flying out of the way just in time. Darius hits the wall, causing many large cracks to form around the embedded spear. He abandons it and reaches for a new one while Garu attacks from behind.
Darius receives 6 damage 8/32 HP
The battle is really starting to take its toll on Darius. “You’re becoming a real thorn in my side, damn bird.”
“Whatever it takes to defeat you and fulfill my duty.”
Miss! Garu receives no damage 9/18 HP
Darius launches a spear into the air at Garu, but misses again. “You really need to work on your aim.”
Darius receives 6 damage 2/32 HP
Darius receives 6 damage 0/32 HP
Garu quickly flies through Darius twice, finishing the battle. “No…! I was supposed become rich...ngh…”
“As long as I’m there to guard them, the royal family will be safe.”
Garu reaches level 4! Garu’s Health, Luck, Defense, and Resistance increase by 1!
As Garu shifts out of his crow form, one of the royal guards run up to him. “Garu, the enemies have all been dispatched. The castle is clear.”
“Good. But what of the city itself?”
“...The news is not quite as good. There were many innocent lives lost in the chaos. The other guards turned on each other and the battle was nearly lost. If it weren’t for two of the mages among the Opulentians, I doubt anyone would have survived.”
“Hm…? Two mages?”
“A troubadour and a light mage. They helped to fight back against the Opulentians and heal the wounded.”
Avalon turns to the bird. “Is Warius alright?”
“He has a few minor injuries, but will heal with time. The knight fled during battle. It seems the knights in the castle were merely a distraction. With our army in shambles, we have no way of fighting against the knights. Their numbers seem endless. They will wash over us and take all of Sidhe.”
“Then the war we have dreaded has finally come. We must gather our allies. Umbra has always stood at our side in times of need. I will send them a message immediately.”
Kress sighs and looks down. “...There was nothing we could do.”
While they stand there, two guards bring in the troubadour and light mage from before. “These are the two that helped in the battle. Luna and Faron. They're twins from Opulentus.”
The troubadour waves shyly, hiding behind the light mage. “H...Hi.”
“I am so sorry for what has happened. I had no idea that Sir Gallant had this planned. We were told we were coming to create peace between the nations. But...I guess they had other plans. I'm so sorry.”
“...” Kress just stares at Faron silently. She investigates him, inspecting everything about him. From every last blond hair on his head to his dark blue eyes. “...You really are sorry. Strange. I thought Opulentians were heartless savages.”
Garu looks somewhat shocked at the princess’ comment and walks over to Faron. “Please, try not to feel too offended. The princess is simply under a lot of stress.”
“...I meant what I said. But perhaps these two can be different. Still. Watch them.” Kress continues to watch both of them carefully.
“Of course, princess.” He bows to her and she walks out of the room.
Faron sighs. “I see that gaining her trust won't be easy.”
Garu tries to reassure Faron. “You just need to give it some time. Kress has a difficult time connecting with people.”
“Well. We will be helping with the wounded if you need us.” Faron leaves with Luna following close behind.
Garu’s allies that helped him in battle come walking in to thank him. “Garu, thank you. If it weren't for your bravery and leadership, we may not have made it out alive. It may not be much, but we'd like to give you this.”
Garu received a Speedwing!
“Thank you for the gift. But I can't take all the credit. You all did well in battle too.”

Kress’ room is silent as she sits there, carefully flipping through pages in a book. She carefully studies each page, making sure to learn everything in the book. As she does so, suddenly, her doors burst open and an excited cat stands in the doorway. “Kress! It’s. Time. To. Play!” She tumbles across the floor and rolls over to Kress, batting playfully at her feet.
“I can’t. Studying…” Kress continues to focus calmly on the book, unaffected by Kit’s insanity.
“Aww. What are you studying? Maybe it can be a game!” She hops up to her feet and looks at Kress’ book closely. “Um...this says ‘Military Tactics’ on it.” She seems a little disappointed.
“Yes. It will teach me how to run an army. I need to learn how to do this.”
“But Kresssssss, whyyyyyy? It’s so boring.” She flops over on Kress’ bed.
“Maybe, but it’s necessary. If I don’t learn how to lead an army correctly, we could end up with a lot of deaths.”
“Boooo! I wanna do something fun.” She bounces on the bed a little before picking up a pillow and tossing it up in the air before catching it. “Maybe it can be fun and you can learn something!”
“The only other way to learn strategy is to get a lesson from my father. Or to go charging off into battle…”
“Then let’s-”
“No, we aren’t charging off into a random battle.”
“Aww, no fun. Fine, do your studying.” She sits on the bed with her arms crossed and watches Kress as she flips another page over calmly. Kit reaches for another book and begins reading it herself. “I bet I can learn faster than you can.”
“Alright. The usual wager?” Kress raises a single eyebrow while continuing to keep her eyes on the book.
“Yep! Winner gets the loser’s dessert and the loser has to do the winner’s chores!”
“You’re on.” Kress continues to read calmly while Kit stares intently at her book, straining her eyes and struggling very obviously.
Kress and Kit have achieved Support Rank C!
Later that day, Faron was practicing using his light magic outside when suddenly, Kit came charging outside. “Farooooonnnnnn!” She crashes into him, sending little sparks of light flying out in multiple directions. “Kress is being a boring, mcboring face. Now I lost dessert AND I have to do chores. I saw you blowing stuff up! It looked fun!”
“Er...Kit…? Would you mind getting off of me?”
“Aww, but why? Wrestling in the mud is fun! Kress and I do it all the time!”
“Yes, but...these were new robes. And I think you’ve scared away my sister. So much so that...I can’t seem to find her anywhere. And you’re knee...is right on my-”
“Whoopsie!” Kit jumps off of Faron. “How’d you make those things go boom? How’d you do it? How?” She jumps around excitedly as Faron manages to get back on his feet.
“...Have you ever spent any time outside of the castle with people other than Princess Kress…?”
“Not really! We spent a looooooot of time together when we were kids. We’re practically sisters!”
“I see. It’s no wonder you have no idea how to act in social situations then…”
“Heyyyyy! What is that supposed to mean?”
“It means that you’re an insane, loose cannon.”
“Hey, thanks! Cannons are cool and explody!”
“That wasn’t meant to be a compliment. Perhaps I can teach you some manners some time.”
“Aw, boo! More learning. Learning is gross! Hiss!”
“Did I say teach? I meant...play a game? Yes, play a game. It’s called…’Meeting New People’. Yes, that’s it. A very simple and easy less-GAME. Game.”
“Hmmmm…?” She inspects his face carefully, blinking a couple of times. “Okay! Let’s play right now!”
“Perhaps tomorrow? I really must finish training.”
“Awwwww, fine. But this game better be good!”
KIt and Faron have achieved Support Rank C!
That night, Faron and Luna were walking down the hall together. Faron holds a small candle, leading the way. “Sorry…” Luna shyly looks down as they walk.
“No need to apologize, Luna. It’s not a problem to get you some water at night.”
“I...I should be braver, but I’m scared of the dark...What if that scary monster you fought off today c-comes back…? I’m shivering just thinking about it…” She holds onto Faron and little tighter.
“No need to be afraid, Luna. That was just Kit. She may be a little loud and crazy, but she’s still a nice girl. Just like you.” He smiles and pats her on the back a little as her grip loosens a little.
“But she’s so scary...the knights said that the Laguz people would try to hurt me…”
“I wouldn’t worry too much about that. They seem pretty nice so far. After all, we are staying in King Warius and Queen Avalon’s home. Besides, you have me with you. I’ll keep you safe no matter what.”
“...Tha-” As she moves to give Faron a big hug, she accidentally knocks the candle out of his hand as the light goes out. “...! F-Faron…!” In only a few seconds, Faron creates a warm and bright light in his hands, showing the way for Luna.
“I’ll always be there for you. Even when you can’t see me.” She smiles and hugs him.
“Thank you, Faron…”
Faron and Luna reached Support Rank C!

Chapter 3 - Mercenaries in the Snow
Ryner and his allies stand in the ancient halls of the Elder Dragon's home. As the double doors open in the back of the room, the torches on the walls light up. Nova, the Elder Dragon himself, walks into the room. He smiles at Ryner and Lute. "You two decided to come, I see. Thank you." He looks to Terrance. "And you brought a Beorc with you. So it is as I assumed..." His smile fades into a grim expression.
"What is it that you called us here for, Elder?"
"It is about the barrier. I assume you've already seen for yourselves, but it is weakening. And so am I."
"...You're dying."
He closes his eyes as he speaks. "Yes. I am afraid that is true." His eyes open again. "When I am gone, the barrier will be destroyed."
"But that barrier has protected us from the outside world for years. Ever since the Beorc and Laguz erupted into war, we've been protected by it. You yourself told us that we might not have survived without it."
"...Yes, but it is not my decision to make, young Ryner." He sighs. "Do you recall the Legend of Heroes...?"
"Yes, I do. Long ago, a great demon walked the lands of Legerran, tormenting the people. Then one day, thirteen heroes rose up to defeat it with the thirteen divine weapons. Together, they sealed it away. The people would no longer live in fear. The only things we have left to remember it by is the story and the weapons that were passed down."
"Yes, well, that is not the entire story."
"There's more...?"
"There's a reason that the weapons and the story has been passed down for generations. You see...I am one of the few left alive that remember that time. Far back from when the heroes were alive. I was a very close friend of the heroes that carried the weapons. They told me to keep watch over the world and make sure that no matter what, I could keep it under control. For if it were ever to fall into chaos, the demon would be released and free once again. I told him I would be careful and only give them to one that could handle its powers. With my word given, my soul was bound to the seal and I was given the weapons to protect and watch over. One day, I found a very powerful Manakete. He took down multiple monsters that attacked the village. Very powerful monsters. He was regarded as a hero among us. So I bestowed him the power of the Truestone. He was truly a noble Manakete. This Manakete...he was your father."
"...!"
"The world was able to stay at peace for quite some time. Your father protected our village and I kept all the other weapons hidden away. Eventually, he found love. Your mother. The two lived happily together. They had two children. You and your sister. You were a happy family. Now, back in those days there was no such thing as a barrier that protected the dragons. We lived close to the Laguz tribes. But there was one that was very jealous of your father's power. A wolf Laguz. He wanted that kind of power for himself. So one night, he found a way into my vault...and he took the Nightstone. As he was leaving the vault, your mother found him. She tried to stop him, but she was killed. The true power of the Nightstone was too great for any mortal to survive. Not without another legendary weapon. Your father had entered, but all too late. His beloved wife was murdered. In a rage, he attacked the wolf thief. The battle was terrible. It destroyed the land of Daravia, leaving nothing but desert and destruction in its wake. After a long battle, both your father and the wolf thief had died. In vengeance, rage, and blood, both of them fell. Peace was broken. War broke out. With his last words, your father placed the Truestone in my hands...he told me to run. He told me to take all the surviving Manaketes and run as far as we could go. Fly to the skies until our wings would carry us to a safe place. And so I did." He sighs again. "I took both you and your sister and the surviving Manaketes and we ran. Far, far north. Until we reached the cold mountain peak we live on today. I created the barrier. And shut us out from the rest of the world..."
"...I see. But that is all in the past. It has nothing to do with now."
"But it does. In my absence, the other nations fought over the weapons and were torn apart. Something is coming. Something even bigger than the battle between the Truestone and Nightstone. I need you to stop it, Ryner."
"Why me?"
"You hold the Truestone. The first holy weapon. If anyone can find a resolution, it is you. Go and unite the people. You must end this war in any way you can. And no matter what...do not fall victim to vengeance. Revenge will only create more revenge and in turn, will cause chaos." The elder approached Ryner closer and looks him in the eyes. "I believe in you. I'm putting all of my hope on your shoulders, Ryner. For the sake of our world, you must not fail."
"...I won't. You can count on me." Ryner nods to the elder.
"I'll do my best too, Elder! I promise our world will be safe!" Lute cheers and jumps in the air.
"I might just be another Beorc, but...you have my word too. I'll do the best I can, sir." Terrance joins the other two.
"Thank you all. Perhaps there is a chance. You have rekindled the fires of hope in me." He looks to Ryner. "There is a Beorc nation to the east of here. Climb down the mountain and speak with them. They may be able to provide you some help in your quest."
"Of course. I promise we will unite the nations once again. When we return, we can all celebrate. I'll finally get my nap too."
The Elder smiles before thanking Ryner again. "Return safely, you three..."

In the heavy snow, three figures can be seen fighting off monsters on all sides. A barbarian smacks a Faceless down into the snow below with her axe before turning and hacking at another one. A mage runs around, launching fireballs at the enemies while trying to avoid them. The barbarian smashes her axe into a Harpy while catching her breath. "This is getting exhausting. Why aren't they all dead yet?"
"Hold still, Frex. You're injured." A priest heals her using his staff. Frex is surrounded in a warm light before it fades.
"Thank you. I'll use this power to bathe in a pool of blood."
"Just make sure it's the enemies'." The priest stands up as the mage comes running in in a panic.
"Roland! There's a thing! It's huge! It's gigantic! I giant thing!"
"Try an breathe, Pyrio. Tell me, calmly, what you saw."
Pyrio takes a deep breath in and exhales. "There's a giant golem."
"But there's a village not far from here. It will be destroyed if the golem reaches it..."
Frex brandishes her axe, holding it to the heavens. "Then we'll have to kill it! I'll tear it apart myself if we have to."
"Terrance isn't back yet. How are we gonna beat a golem without him?"
"We'll have to manage." Roland calmly brushes the snow from his robe.
Meanwhile, on the southern side of the snowy lands, a pegasus flies through the skies. On its back, a rider sits. He carries a lance in his hands. "I have...to warn...the village..." A powerful roar can be heard from behind him. "...! I'm coming...just hold on..."
From the east, Ryner and his allies come running in. Overlooking the battlefield, they can see everything from their position. "...How do the people here sleep with two golems at the north and south?"
"Ryner! There are two big golems! Focus on the real problem." Terrance looks over at the golem to the north. "Whoa. Those are my allies!"
"We got another problem. There's a flying horse over there!" Lute points to the pegasus rider in the distance to the south.
"That's a pegasus rider, Lute. She looks hurt. We should try to help her too."
Ryner yawns and points to the town. "What about them?"
"They need to be saved too. Wait, why am I telling you this? You're the leader!"
"Oh yeah, you're right. Well, this is a mess, huh?"
"R-Ryner...please try to take this seriously."
"I am. You need to chill out, buddy. We have to approach this calmly. There are five Harpies to the south with a Golem. There are five Faceless to the north with a Golem. And there are three Bonewalkers right behind you."
"WHAT!?" Terrance steps backward and notices three Bonewalkers behind him.
"What's the plan, Ryner?" Lute excitedly jumps up and down.
Give a command to each character.

“You two go save that Pegasus Knight. She needs our help the most right now. Leave the skeletons to me.” Lute and Terrance nod before Lute carries Terrance on her back in dragon form over to the harpies in the distance. “Now, where were we?” The Bonewalkers clatter their bones and move forward. Ryner holds the Truestone to the sky and transforms as it glows in a bright light.
Bonewalker receives 23 damage 0/20 HP
Ryner releases a ball of light from his mouth, spitting it at the closest Bonewalker. As it lands into the Bonewalker, the light explodes, blasting the enemy into pieces. The two other Bonewalkers charge toward Ryner, having noticed him.
Blocked! Ryner receives no damage 22/22 HP
Blocked! Ryner receives no damage 22/22 HP
Ryner uses both his wings as shields and the Bonewalkers’ swords clink against his scales, doing nothing to him. Ryner then knocks the skeletons back with his wings, unleashing a powerful roar.

Ryner smashes both of his powerful front claws into the Bonewalkers, shattering them into bits. “This is too easy. I’m kind of disappointed.”
Ryner reaches level 4! Ryner’s Health, Strength, Speed, Luck, Defense, and Resistance increase by 1!
As Ryner finishes off the last two Bonewalkers, Feath comes flying in toward him. “You there…! Please...you have to help. There are monsters coming from the south. They destroyed my home...and they’re headed here.”
“Not to worry. We’re already on it. Are you feeling well enough to fight? You look exhausted.”
“I’m alright. Not injured at least. There’s some energy still left in me. I can still fight.”
“Good. We can use all the help we can get. Those monsters seem to have us surrounded. Just try not to get killed, alright, lady?”
“...I’m not a woman.”
“...Oh.”
“But, er, thank you. I will try not to get killed.” Over where Feath came from, a dragon’s roar can be heard.
Lute can be seen in dragon form fighting some of the Harpies in the air. Terrance stands on her back, helping to fight them off. “Try not to fall off!”
“I can’t make any promises…” Terrance looks down and shakes his head before focusing in on the fight in front of him.
Support Bonus active!
Harpy receives 25 damage 0/17 HP
Harpy receives 9 damage 8/17 HP
Harpy receives 9 damage 0/17 HP
Lute launches a beam of darkness from her mouth into one of the flying harpies, knocking it out of the sky while Terrance fights off another Harpy close to Lute. He blocks its talons with his sword before smacking it downwards. The other three Harpies close in on the two.
Miss! Terrance receives no damage 19/19 HP

The three Harpies unleash a storm of feathers on Terrance and Lute. Terrance manages to block a few with his sword, but one of the sharp feathers jabs into his arm. “Ngh.” Terrance pulls the feather out of him and tosses it into the wind. “I’m just glad I didn’t fall off!”
Terrance reaches level 3! Terrance’s Health, Strength, Skill, Speed, and Luck increase by 1!
As the two fly there, the golem can be seen approaching closer. It moves very slowly. It still has quite the distance between itself and the village.
At the northern end of the battlefield, Pyrio and Frex stand, weapons ready. Roland retreats toward the village as Pyrio begins to chant magic incantations from within his tome.
Faceless receives 14 damage 6/20 HP
Faceless receives 14 damage 0/20 HP
Pyrio summons forth a blazing flame in both his hands, tossing two fireballs into the closest Faceless. The Faceless is set ablaze and burns to the ground quickly. “One down!”
“GRAAAAHHHH!” Frex goes charging past all the Faceless directly towards the giant Golem behind them.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?”
“TAKE! THIS!”
Golem receives 1 damage 49/50 HP
Frex smashes her axe into the Golem full force. It chips the rock on the Golem a little, but otherwise does next to nothing. “...Oh gods…”
Frex receives 17 damage 5/22 HP
The golem smashes one of its mighty fists into Frex, launching her several feet into the air, backwards. She eventually crashes into a nearby tree. A few moments of silence pass.
Golem receives 1 damage 48/50 HP
“YAAAAA!” She leaps out of the tree, smashing the Golem in the face with her axe before jumping off and landing somewhat clumsily. “Okay. I don’t like this one. IT ISN’T BLEEDING!” Multiple Faceless surround both Frex and Pyrio in a short amount of time while Frex continues to smack the Golem with her axe.
Miss! Frex receives no damage 5/22 HP
Frex receives 4 damage 1/22 HP
Miss! Pyrio receives no damage 18/18 HP
Pyrio receives 15 damage 3/18 HP
Both Frex and Pyrio manage to jump out of the way of the first Faceless strikes, but the second hit catches them off guard. Frex stumbles into the snow and it begins to turn red around her. “Is this...the end…? I was supposed to bathe in a pool of your blood...not the...other way around…”
“No, we have to fight back!” Pyrio helps Frex up to her feet and the two prepare a counter attack.

Pyrio launches multiple fireballs from his free hand, blasting back the incoming Risen while Frex swings her axe into a couple that get too close.
Pyrio reaches level 4! Pyrio’s Health, Magic, Skill, Speed, and Resistance increase by 1!
The two, out of breath look up to see the Golem preparing to toss a giant boulder at the two of them.
Miss! Frex takes no damage 1/22 HP
Luckily, the boulder misses. It crashes not far from them and unleashes a shower of snow on them. This could possibly give them their chance to escape...
Meanwhile, back at the village, Roland runs in to speak with the villagers. “All of you need to evacuate immediately. There are large hoards of monsters coming in from the mountains.” Roland helps the villagers leave the village as soon as possible, but one of them stands among them and walks up to Roland.
“I’m not abandoning my home. I’ll stay and fight.” The boy holds a bow in his hands. It’s poorly made, but he looks determined.
“...Hm. Show me you’re strong enough then.”
“Huh? You mean it?”
“Show me you can handle yourself in battle. You have determination, but show me your strength.”
“Alright, you got it! My name’s Nate.”
“Roland. Nice to meet you.” The two shake hands and walk outside as more monsters begin to come in from all sides on the battlefield. Two more Harpies from the south, two more Faceless from the north, and three more Bonewalkers from the east.

Ryner looks over at the explosion of snow and ice in the distance. "Come on. We're going to go rescue those two." He leaps off the cliff, transforming into a dragon and flying in the direction of the Faceless in the snow. Landing on the ground, he sends more snow fluttering around from the ground. His eyes lock onto one of the full health faceless.
Faceless receives 25 damage 5/20 HP
Ryner quickly unleashes two light bursts on the same faceless, causing it to explode in a glorious blast of light. Feath watches in shock before coming back to his senses and swooping in toward the weakened Faceless that are chasing after Pyrio and Frex.
Faceless receives 2 damage 7/20 HP
The Faceless seems pretty resilient to physical attacks for the most part and Feath sighs. "It's going to be one of those battles, isn't it?"
Miss! Feath receives no damage 18/18 HP
The Faceless attempts to retaliate, swinging its fist wildly, but Feath leads his pegasus gracefully over the Faceless before jabbing his lance into it once more.
Faceless receives 2 damage 5/20 HP
While Ryner and Feath keep the enemies distracted, both Pyrio and Frex flee toward the village. As they approach, Roland notices them and starts running toward them. "Stay here, Nate. Those two are badly injured." He leaves Nate behind and takes out his staff, going immediately to work on Frex first. "I'm impressed you managed to hurt yourself this badly. Hold still."
Frex regains 17 health 18/22 HP
"There..." Frex's wounds immediately begin to heal and the bleeding stops. He bandages her up a little and she gets back up on her feet.
"Thanks, Roland. I got careless."
"Just be more careful. It could cost you your life next time. Or even someone else's."
"It's just that...the thought of hacking them into pieces with my axe...is so exhilarating."
While Roland and Frex talk, Pyrio points out Nate charging toward the Harpies with a bow in hand. "Hey, that kid's running toward the birds..."
Roland responds simply and calmly. "Ah, yes. So it seems. Oh well, he disobeyed my orders. And do not call him a kid. You're almost the same age."
Nate goes running toward the Harpies surrounding Lute. "Don't worry, miss dragon! I'll save you! Though those Harpies do look pretty...scary..." He slowly takes a deep breath in and then out before holding his bow ready. "I can do this. I'll protect my home!"
Harpy receives 12 damage 5/17 HP
He releases an arrow, sending it flying through the air into the harpy. "Whoa! I...I did it!" Nate happily jumps up and down while the Harpy he shot screeches and launches a bunch of feathers at him.
Nate receives 4 damage 12/16 HP
The feathers land all around Nate and one of them hits his arm. "Ow! That was rude. I'll just put another arrow through you. Stay down this time!" He notches another arrow into his bow, aiming carefully.
Harpy receives 12 damage 0/17 HP
He hits the Harpy with another arrow, knocking it down from the sky and sending it crashing into the snow. "I'm learning fast!"
Nate reaches level 2! Nate's Health, Skill, Luck, Defense, and Resistance increase by 1! Nate's Strength and Speed increase by 2!
Lute notices Nate has shown up to help out and takes her chance to knock away a Harpy.
Harpy receives 25 damage 0/17 HP
She smashes a Harpy into the ground with her tail, but while doing this, Terrance is accidentally launched off of her in the direction of his allies. She can faintly hear him screaming "Why me?" as he flies through the air.
Terrance lands, tumbling, near his mercenary allies. Frex looks over at him and smiles. "Hey, boss! There you are!"
Pyrio runs over to him and helps him up. "Boss! Boss! You're back!"
Roland calmly greets him. "Hello, Terrance. You seem to have had a nice flight."
"Just my luck to get launched off a dragon..." Terrance brushes some snow off of him. "What's up, guys?"
Roland answers. "You, apparently."
"Ha, ha. Very funny." Terrance seems unimpressed. "Now's not the time to be making fun of me. There are enemies around."
"If you don't want me to make fun of you, you should face the right way in battle."
"Hu-AHHHHH!" Terrance turns around to be face to face with Bonewalkers yet again. "Why does this keep happening to me!?" He swings his sword around at the Bonewalker right behind him.
Bonewalker receives 4 damage 16/20 HP
"These ones are stronger than the last ones too!?"
Miss! Terrance receives no damage 19/20 HP
Terrance ducks down as the skeleton's blade swing above him.
Bonewalker receives 4 damage 12/20 HP
Terrance jabs at the Bonewalker and his sword gets stuck in it while it clatters its jaw at him. "Ohhhh no. Ohnononono..." The other Bonewalkers close in on him while he yanks on his sword, trying to pull it out.
Miss! Terrance receives no damage 19/20 HP
Terrance receives 9 damage 10/20 HP
Terrance receives 9 damage 1/20 HP
He ducks under the sword of the damaged Bonewalker again, but its friends jump on top of him and start to swarm him. Roland, Pyrio, and Frex watch. "Do you think maybe we should help him...?"
"No, he'll be fine. I sense a great power welling up from within him."
Bonewalker receives 7 damage 5/20 HP
Bonewalker receives 7 damage 0/20 HP
Critical Hit! Bonewalker receives 21 damage 0/20 HP
Bonewalker receives 7 damage 13/20 HP
Bonewalker receives 7 damage 6/20 HP
Terrance bursts out of the Bonewalkers and swings the one stuck on his sword around into the other two. He then leaps in the air and smashes the Bonewalker stuck on his sword into another Bonewalker, causing them both to break apart and making bones fly everywhere.
Terrance reaches level 4! Terrance's Health, Strength, Skill, Defense, and Resistance increase by 1!
"This is...exhausting..." Terrance falls to his knees, out of breath.
Roland reaches for his staff yet again. "So, who wants to clean up the last skeleton?"
Meanwhile, the Harpies shift their attention from Lute to Nate. "O-Oh my..."
Miss! Nate receives no damage 12/17 HP
Nate receives 3 damage 9/17 HP
Nate receives 3 damage 6/17 HP
A storm of sharp feathers descends upon Nate and he ends up with multiple small cuts. "Gah! I can't let you beat me. Take this." He prepares three different arrows on his bow.
Harpy receives 24 damage 0/17 HP
Harpy receives 24 damage 0/17 HP

Over on the northern end, the Faceless begin their assault on Ryner and Feath. They split up with two taking on each.
Blocked! Ryner receives no damage 22/23 HP
Miss! Ryner receives no damage 22/23 HP
Miss! Feath receives no damage 18/18 HP
Miss! Feath receives no damage 18/18 HP
Both Ryner and Feath weave through the Faceless' attacks with ease, working together to block and dodge. "Nice work, Feath."
"Heheh, you're doing pretty great too, Ryner. What do you say we show some of these things who's boss?"
Faceless receives 25 damage 0/20 HP
Faceless receives 25 damage 0/20 HP
Faceless receives 2 damage 3/20 HP
Faceless receives 2 damage 1/20 HP
Faceless receives 2 damage 7/20 HP
Faceless receives 2 damage 5/20 HP
Feath and Ryner work together, coordinating their attacks so that they blast back the Faceless and knock them away before they can attack. Ryner slashes through a couple Faceless with his claws and Feath swoops through the Faceless, swinging his lance through them as he goes. "I'm soaring!"
"Rawr."
Ryner reaches level 5! Ryner's Health, Strength, Magic, Skill, and Defense increase by 1!
Feath reaches level 4! Feath's Health, Skill, Speed, and Resistance increase by 1!
The Golems on either side of the village move in closer and are about halfway there. They need to be dealt with quickly, or they'll destroy it within a few turns!

Nate retreats back to Roland with the harpies defeated. As he catches up to him, Roland is in the middle of healing Terrance with his staff.
Terrance recovers 17 health 18/21 HP
"I'm becoming more efficient."
Roland reaches level 4! Roland's Magic, Skill, Speed, Luck, and Resistance increase by 1!
Terrance walks over to the knocked down Bonewalker, plunging his sword into it.
Bonewalker receives 5 damage 1/20 HP
It struggles to try and get one last attack in on Terrance before it dies.
Miss! Terrance receives no damage 18/22 HP
As it reaches for him, Terrance twists the blade and forces it deeper into the Bonewalker, causing the bones to crack on it.
Bonewalker receives 5 damage 0/20 HP
The eyes on the Bonewalker no longer glow and it falls silent. Terrance takes back his weapon and places it away, looking back at the allies behind him. He notices Pyrio is still badly injured. "Pyrio. Get into the town. Hide from the enemies. Those Golems are getting closer and closer every minute. If they get too close, I want you out of sight." Pyrio nods and runs into the village. Terrance then looks to his left and right, noticing Ryner and Lute fighting the Golems. "Frex, I want you to finish off the straggling Faceless. Help out Ryner."
"You got it, boss." She runs off towards the Faceless and jumps through the air, swinging her axe in a downward motion.
Faceless receives 11 damage 0/20 HP
She knocks the head right off and lands on the ground, cheering. "Woohoo! Blood! Mwahahahaaa!"
Frex reaches level 4! Frex's Health, Strength, Skill, Speed, and Defense increase by 1!
The other Faceless begins to charge toward her.
Miss! Frex receives no damage 18/23 HP
She simply smashes her axe through it, causing it to fall to the ground, dead.
Faceless receives 12 damage 0/20 HP
With the Faceless beaten, it's up to the dragons to finish the battle. Above Frex, in the sky, Feath flies around the Golem quickly, smacking his lance on it.
Blocked! Golem receives no damage 48/50 HP
He clearly does nothing to it, but helps to distract the Golem as it tries to swing at him.
Miss! Feath receives no damage 18/19 HP
He turns the Golem around, looking away from Ryner, while hitting it a couple more times.
Blocked! Golem receives no damage 48/50 HP
While the Golem is turned around, Ryner in dragon form flies in quickly, crashing into the side and tearing at the rock Golem with his claws.
Golem receives 23 damage 25/50 HP
He tears apart the rocks from the Golem and it releases a powerful roaring type sound. It angrily spins around to face Ryner.
Ryner receives 5 damage 17/24 HP
Ryner is smacked to the side by the Golem's fist, but he lands on the ground safely, springing back into battle and flying into the air.
Golem receives 23 damage 2/50 HP
Golem receives 23 damage 0/50 HP
Ryner flies into the Golem's face, smashing it upwards with his tail and knocking it off balance. With the Golem tipping over, Ryner follows up by launching a powerful light explosion into the Golem, sending it tumbling into the ground as it crumbles to pieces. As the Golem falls apart, Feath swoops in and grabs Frex just in time to fly her out of danger. "Now it's nap time."
Ryner reaches level 6! Ryner's Health, Strength, Skill, Luck, Defense, and Resistance increase by 1!
With the Golem on the northern end defeated, Lute prepares to take on the Golem on the southern end all on her own. "Big meanies like you should stay outta my way!"
Golem receives 15 damage 35/50 HP
Lute launches a dark beam into the Golem, catching its attention and stopping it from continuing toward the village. The Golem picks up a nearby boulder, quickly launching it at Lute.
Lute receives 14 damage 6/20 HP
Lute is hit by the flying rock, getting knocked down, into the ground. She then gets back up, holding the thrown rock and tosses it right back into the Golem.
Golem receives 15 damage 10/50 HP
The Golem is hit by its own boulder, stumbling backward slightly. It still stands, however. In fact, it begins to charge toward Lute.
Miss! Lute receives no damage 6/20 HP
Lute flies over the Golem right as it passes by her.
Golem receives 15 damage 0/50 HP
Lute then launches another beam directly into the Golem while it crashes into a mountain. The Golem blasts apart into multiple rock pieces and Lute lands on the ground. "Whew! We did it!"
Lute reaches level 4! Lute's Strength, Skill, Speed, and Defense increase by 1!

With the Golems defeated, the group heads over to the small village to relax a little and heal up. Ryner is approached by Feath while they're staying there. "Hey, Ryner, right?"
"That would be me."
"Thank you for your help. If you weren't there, I might not have been able to stop the Golems. You see, my own home was destroyed by those things not long before we fought them off. I came to warn the village, but I'm glad their homes weren't destroyed. I just wish things could have turned out differently for my home...but, that's not really the point. The point is, I want to thank you. Not only that, but I want to join you. You said you were going to seal away whatever is making those monsters. Well, I want to help. Whatever it takes to stop that from happening again. Nobody should have to go through losing their homes..."
"Alright." Feath looks a little surprised at Ryner's quick decision. "You can fight and if you wanna come, then come. No problem with me."
"Thank you, Ryner. I will do my best not to disappoint you."
Meanwhile, Terrance and Nate speak. "Whoa, you're the boss of these mercenary guys?"
"That's right!"
Roland cuts into the conversation. "He may be terrible at fighting, managing mercenaries, coming up with good tactics, and pretty much everything else, but he's a good leader."
"Roland! That's not true..." Terrance crosses his arms, but Nate still looks up at Terrance with a hopeful light in his eyes.
"You guys are awesome! I mean, the way we saved the village today was awesome. I've never done something like it. I might not be the best warrior, but if you guys are sealing away the monsters...maybe I can go with you. If it will protect my family, I'll help you end this war!"
"Wow, really? That's a big commitment though. Are you sure you can do that?"
"Sure I can! I already told mom! She said it was okay with her. Even though it took some convincing. And I mean a LOT of convincing."
"Hmm...I dunno. It might be better for you to stay here, where it's safe." Nate looks disappointed, but Roland comes walking into the conversation again.
"If need be, I'll vouch for him. He took down an entire squad of Harpies on his own. I believe he is plenty ready. And capable."
"Wow...you impressed Roland? That's, well, it's impressive! Okay, Nate! Consider yourself one of the Graysteel Mercenaries!"
"Alright! I bet I can learn a lot from fighting with you guys. I promise to help protect the world from that demon guy. Does this mean I get to call you boss now?"
"Haha, sure, I guess." While Terrance and Nate finish up their conversation, Ryner and Lute come walking in to speak with Terrance.
"Terrance! Hey, look! We figured out where the big town is here!" Lute spreads out a big map on the table and points to a large town towards the center of Glaewood. "That's the capital! They have big fights there. Isn't that cool?"
Ryner explains the situation to Terrance. "I asked someone in the village about the capital. They said the big arena was it. Apparently they have fights there a lot. Anyway, the important thing is that's where the leader is. Maybe if we stop by, we can ask them for help in ending the war. The plan is with Glaewood's help, we can help one of the sides of this war win."
Terrance looks impressed. "You know, Ryner, for only recently learning about all the wars and stuff, you're pretty good at this. It's like you have a natural ability to command people."
"Not really. I just want to get this over with so I can get back to my bed. This is a lot of work, you know." Terrance just sort of shrugs.

Frex and Ryner head out, shopping for some weapons. While at the store, Frex looks at all the weapons, excitedly inspecting them. Ryner casually looks at each of the weapons, testing them out one at a time. Frex picks up a lance and plays with it a little. "Ooh, this one is good. Look how pointy it is. I bet this would be great for stabbing into people."
Ryner flips through a couple pages in a tome lazily. "Don't you ever get bored of thinking about fighting all the time?"
"Don't you ever get bored of sleeping?" She drops the lance back where she got it and picks up a huge axe. "Heheheh, WHAM!" She splits a table in half. "This one looks good too."
"I guess I get your point. But why are you always so violent?"
"Hm? Oh, I guess some people would consider it violent." She casually tosses the axe over her shoulder. "I just get so excited and pumped up when a battle starts, I sort of lose control. It might be something I got from my father, I guess. Fighting is just something I enjoy. I guess I can go a little overboard at times though."
"A little? You chopped the head off of a Faceless and played around in its blood."
"Okay. A LOT. But it's not something I really have control over. It just sort of happens. It might be kind of nice if it didn't, but I'm not sure how that would work. It would be cool if everyone stopped staring at me like a crazy maniac though."
"Hmm. Maybe it's something you could work on. Of course, when my sister isn't making me do chores, I'm always busy sleeping, so-"
"So glad you offered to help!"
"I don't think you heard me. I said I don't want to help you."
"Great! So tomorrow." Frex purchases the necessary weapons and Ryner sighs a little. Maybe he can find a way to hide from her and nap tomorrow...
Ryner and Frex achieved support rank C!
Feath is washing his pegasus outside as Lute comes running in towards him. "Feath! Hey! What's up?"
Feath looks up at Lute and smiles. "I'm just giving this pegasus a bath. Care to join me? I have an extra brush."
"Ooh! Yeah!" Lute grabs Feath's spare brush and helps to scrub the soap into the pegasus' wings. The pegasus seems relaxed. It must enjoy the bath. It nuzzles Lute a little with its muzzle. "Haha! Do you like it?"
"I think the pegasus might like you, Lute." Lute continues to wash the pegasus happily. "In fact, it might like you more than me."
"It's so pretty! Look at these feathers! So shiny."
"Here, let's dry it off." Feath tosses a towel over to Lute. "It's hard to fly a wet pegasus, after all." After drying off the pegasus, Lute continues to play with it. Feath watches, interested. "You must really like that pegasus, don't you?" She nods to him. He smiles again and then looks off to the side, frowning a little.
"...Something wrong?" Lute walks up to Feath and pokes him.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." He smiles at her again. "Since you like the pegasus so much, how about I take you for a ride sometime?"
"Really!?" Her eyes light up with excitement. "I'd love to!"
"Great. Then I promise to take you flying."
"Thank you soooo much!" Lute hugs Feath tightly.
Lute and Feath reached support rank C!
Pyrio stands out in the snowy fields, practicing his magic. "At this rate, I'll be a master in no time. I've learned power, but now I just have to learn control. Then the Blazing Fire Bolt of Fury will be complete! Ha!" Pyrio creates a fireball in his hand and tosses it up in the air while creating another one. And then another. And one more. "Just as I suspected! If I juggle them like this, I can carry four at a time and then attack and enemy four times in a row! Genius! I just have to make sure I don't drop any or-"
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
"...Boss?" Pyrio looks over into the woods in the direction the screaming came from. In only a matter of seconds, Terrance bursts out of the trees.
"RUN!" He darts past Pyrio.
"Run from what?" Just as Pyrio finishes asking his question, a large bear comes charging out of the trees. "WHOA!" He launches all of the fireballs he was juggling in the bear's direction, startled. He ends up, missing, however. And sets the trees behind the bear on fire. "AHH! The forest is on fire!"
"You did what!?" The bear notices the quickly spreading flames and runs away. Terrance begins to panic behind Pyrio. "This is not good. This is REALLY bad! Put out the fire! Put it out!"
"Y-You got it boss!" Pyrio waves his hand over the flames, causing them to calm down a bit before blazing back up even stronger. "I CAN'T CONTROL IT!"
"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!"
"Hey boss...do you hear something rumbling...?"
"Is that a...a stampede of wild bears...?"
"I think...it is. They must be mad we set their home on fire."
"There's only one thing a good leader could possibly do in a situation like this." Terrance clears his throat to announce his plan. "RUUUUNNNNNNNNN!" He darts off, leaving Pyrio behind.
"Wait for me, boss!" Pyrio runs off as well.
With both of them gone, Ryner comes walking in with Lute and the two notice the burning forest. "How did this...? Whatever. Let's get to putting it out. This is the second one since we left Drakus..."
Terrance and Pyrio reached support rank C!
Nate watches Roland closely as he works on practicing his healing magic. "Hey, Roland, somebody told me you were blind. How does that work? You can't see if you're blind."
"Well, not exactly blind. Most people simply see with their eyes, but I see much more than that."
"Huh? How do you do that?"
"I'm in tune with the world around me. I can simply sense things. I do not need to see."
"You...sense things?"
"Yes."
"...How does that work?"
"I can use the aether waves of the world and living things on it to determine where things are and as a result, can see beyond just vision. I can even use divination if need be."
"Oh, I see. I don't get it."
"Here, let me try to put it simply. I can see with magic."
"Ohhh...so you use magic waves and they let you see everything."
"Somewhat, but it's not quite like that. You seem to get the gist of it though. It's very useful."
Nate looks at his bow and has an idea. "Do you think you could teach me that...magic wave power?"
"Can I teach you to sense the life force within others? Maybe. It's more up to you if you can learn it."
"Of course I do! If I learn to sense that magic wave stuff, maybe I can hit things better with my bow!"
"I see. Well, if you are truly determined, I suppose we can start. Not right now though. I have some medicines to organize. But another time."
"Alright! I can't wait! This is gonna be great!"
Roland and Nate reached support level C!

Chapter 4 - Witch's Bog
Heading through a dense fog in a dark swamp, Elay's party moves onward. Leading the way, she slashes a few branches out of the way. "Perhaps you could be a little less...violent to the trees, Lady Elay?" Gerand follows closely behind her.
"If they wanted mercy, they shouldn't have stood in my way like that." She sheathes her blade. "But if you insist..."
"You seem a little frustrated. Care to talk about it?"
"I'm just a little nervous I guess. This is my first mission and dad sent me off to go help save the entirety of Sidhe. I mean, who wouldn't be nervous? I'm going to be representing our entire nation..."
Behind those two, Darik and Shizuka walk side by side. The latter is getting considerably annoyed while Darik goes on and on about zombies. "So the difference between Revenants and Risen is that one is born naturally from dark curses and ancient incantations while the other is summoned from another realm by mages to attack their enemies. Now that brings us on to Faceless! Those were invented in a far off continent where the mages-" Shizuka lets out an annoyed groan.
"Somebody shut him up." She motions to her guards.
A tall man with silver hair, similar to Elay's walks in from behind. He wears a full suit of armor. "Of course, Shizuka! Anything for you!" He whistles and a dragon drops down from above. "One more word, and I'll have it eat you, Darik. Nothing personal, just Shizuka's orders."
A woman with long, blonde hair worn in intricately woven braids walks up from behind the two. She wears a long, flowing outfit that can be partially seen through. Still, she's covered enough by extra clothes worn underneath to keep from looking naked in battle. A scarf she wears contains knives hidden within and a bow is held in one of her hands. "Oh, Lupis, you're so boring. We need to handle the prisoners with extra special care." She shoos away the dragon and walks up to Darik. "Isn't that right, Darik? If you ever want, you can cast a spell on m-"
Lupis grabs the bard by her arm and starts dragging her away from Darik. "She said to make him quiet, Carthis, not to flirt with him."
"I was making him quiet."
Shizuka turns around angrily. "WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!?"
It's quiet a moment and rustling can be heard in the nearby bushes. Elay stops moving forward and looks around carefully. "Shh...Did you hear that?" She whispers.
Carthis crosses her arms angrily and whispers to Lupis. "You should have washed your dragon. It smells like something died."
"...I don't think that's Kain. He's over there." Lupis points to Kain playing rock paper scissors with Darik.
"Then-"
"zombies!" Elay takes Excalibur out as Revenants come shambling in from the sides.
"Very good, Princess." Darik claps for Elay. "Somebody has been paying attention to my lesson!"
"That's not important right now!"
"It might be more useful than you think."
Gerand steps back and flicks his wrist, causing a knife to fly out of his sleeve and into his hand. "Well, this should prove difficult. We can hardly see through this fog."
Shizuka stands ready for battle. "We should have gotten a Torch Staff. But now's not the time. Stay focused. Enemies could spring from any direction. We'll have to keep moving as well..." The two revealed Revenants on the left and right side of the group shamble forward slightly and moan.

"Lupis! Carthis! Handle the other Revenant! Gerand and I have this one. Darik and Shizuka, take the front and keep watch for more incoming monsters!" Elay runs in, facing the Revenant with Excalibur at the ready. Behind her, Gerand tosses a couple of knives into the Revenant.
Revenant receives 6 damage 11/17 HP
Revenant receives 6 damage 5/17 HP
It already appears pretty heavily weakened from just Gerand's attack. Elay goes in to finish it off.
Revenant receives 17 damage 0/17 HP
Elay easily slashes it in two, turning back to see how the others are doing afterwards. Carthis takes out her bow and aims it at the nearby Revenant on her side.
Revenant receives 4 damage 13/17 HP
Revenant receives 4 damage 9/17 HP
She quickly releases two arrows in succession, lodging them both into the zombie. Before it has much time to react, Lupis comes flying in on Kain.
Revenant receives 17 damage 0/17 HP
He smashes it apart with his axe and Kain releases a victory roar. With the two visible zombies defeated, Shizuka and Darik head to the front and the party advances toward the East. While moving forwards, they are ambushed by more Revenants. Two from the front and one on both the left and right side.
Miss! Shizuka receives no damage 20/20 HP
Darik receives 11 damage 11/22 HP
Lupis receives 3 damage 19/22 HP
Miss! Elay receives no damage 21/21 HP
As the zombies comes leaping out of the fog, Shizuka rolls out of the way while Elay gracefully steps aside. Darik gets knocked over by one as it slashes at him with its claws. Lupis is hit by another one, but his armor protects him for the most part.
Revenant receives 11 damage 6/17 HP
Revenant receives 11 damage 0/17 HP
Revenant receives 20 damage 0/17 HP
Darik recovers 9 health 20/22 HP
Revenant receives 17 damage 0/17 HP
Revenant receives 17 damage 0/17 HP
The Revenants are quickly retaliated against with Shizuka slashing through the one that charged at her and Elay cleaving the one that attacked her in two. While the Revenant struggles to claw at and bite Darik, he simply speaks a few magic words and places his hand on its face. The Revenant explodes in a blast of dark magic and dark orbs float in the air to Darik, healing him. Lupis kicks the Revenant off of him and his dragon, Kain, takes a big bite out of it to finish it off. While two more Revenants come running in from the front, Elay hears a scream from the south. It sounds like someone else is caught up in this zombie fight too.

"I heard someone call out for help down that way. Come on, we're going to go help them out." Elay runs toward one of the visible Revenants with her weapon ready.
Revenant receives 17 damage 0/17 HP
She ducks down underneath its claws and slides beneath it, chopping one of the legs off with ease before spinning around and digging her blade into its back. Carthis keeps her distance, preparing an arrow and aiming it at the other visible Revenant.
Revenant receives 4 damage 13/17 HP
Revenant receives 4 damage 9/17 HP
Carthis launches two arrows through the zombie before Lupis drops down from above.
Revenant receives 16 damage 0/17 HP
He smashes his axe through the Revenant and jumps off of it, landing back on top of Kain. "I wonder if Shizuka was watching..."
Lupis reaches level 4! Lupis' Health, Strength, Skill, and Luck increase by 1!
The group advances to the south, finding a cavalier fighting off two Revenants. "Stay back! I-I don't want to have to warn you a second time!" One of the Revenants hiss at her, swiping with its claws violently. She manages to maneuver out of the way though. "I could handle anything. Assassins, evil mages, even other knights. But why did it have to be undead...?"
Elay comes running in over to her, blocking the claws of another Revenant with Excalibur. "Don't worry, we're here! Hold on a minute, who exactly are you again?"
"My name is Arc. I am a cavalier from Lux. But...it seems I got lost here. It suddenly became very foggy and zombies began attacking on all sides. N-Not that I was afraid though! Haha! No, that's ridiculous. I'm simply shaking from...excitement! Yes, excitement."
"Whatever you say. Just try not to get killed because you're so 'excited'." Elay kicks the Revenant she had been blocking backward before slashing it in two with Excalibur.
Revenant receives 17 damage 0/17 HP
"Aww, you're afraid of the zombies? That's so cute." Carthis seems to have appeared next to Arc out of nowhere. She tosses a couple of knives into the remaining Revenant while dancing around her.
Revenant receives 3 damage 14/17 HP
Revenant receives 3 damage 11/17 HP
"I am NOT afraid of the undead. I am simply cautious around them. We never had anything quite like this back where I come from."
Lupis rides in on Kain, commenting as he passes by Arc. "Well, it's not really common here either."
Revenant receives 17 damage 0/17 HP
"Zombies usually only happen when mages summon them. Either that or when dead bodies are cursed. Trust me, we got a whole lesson on it from that guy." Lupis points to Darik over his shoulder and Darik waves off in the distance to Arc.
"I see...well, thank you for clearing away those undead, but I really must be going."
Elay scans the fog in front of her carefully with her eyes. "Oh, we're not even close to done yet." As she says this, three Revenants come charging out of the fog toward her and the others.
Elay receives 11 damage 10/21 HP
Lupis receives 3 damage 16/23 HP
Miss! Carthis receives no damage 17/17 HP
One of the Revenants tackles Elay to the ground, clawing at her savagely while another jumps up on top of Kain, gnawing on Lupis' leg.
Revenant receives 17 damage 0/17 HP
Revenant receives 17 damage 0/17 HP
Revenant receives 3 damage 14/17 HP
Revenant receives 3 damage 11/17 HP
Elay kicks upward, flipping the Revenant over her before reaching for Excalibur and slashing through it. Lupis smacks the Revenant on top of Kain off with his axe before Kain stomps on it. Carthis has spent the entire time dancing around the Revenant that attacked her, dodging its claws playfully and jamming knives into it when she sees an opening. "Has anyone told you that you make a great dance partner?"
While Elay's side is busy fighting, Revenants appear from the east and west, attacking both Gerand and Shizuka.
Miss! Gerand receives no damage 18/18 HP
Miss Shizuka receives no damage 20/20 HP
They both avoid the incoming zombies carefully before throwing knives into them.
Revenant receives 6 damage 11/17 HP
Revenant receives 6 damage 5/17 HP
Revenant receives 11 damage 6/17 HP
Revenant receives 11 damage 0/17 HP
Shizuka defeats the Revenant that attacked her and Gerand manages to badly damage the other one. Darik is then suddenly jumped on by a Revenant from behind.
Darik receives 11 damage 9/22 HP
It continually claws at him while he’s knocked over, but Darik manages to get the Revenant off of him before casting Nosferatu.
Revenant receives 20 damage 0/17 HP
Darik recovers 9 health 18/22 HP
The Revenant is destroyed in an explosion of dark magic and dark spheres heal Darik from the blast.
Arc sighs and prepares her lance. “I’ll just have to stay with you for now. Just...don’t let the zombies touch me.”

"Alright, let's clean up these last couple Revenants and get moving back to where we were going." Elay steps back from the zombies and heads to the back of the formation while Gerand runs up to her with his staff ready.
Elay recovers 15 health 21/21 HP
The scratches from the Revenants begin to heal immediately from the gentle light. "I apologize for not coming to your aid earlier, Lady Elay. I will have to try harder."
Gerand reaches level 5! Gerand's Health, Magic, Skill, Speed, Luck, and Defense increase by 1!
Darik creates an explosion of dark energy around the southern Revenant and absorbs the dark orbs that come from it.

Darik recovers 6 health 22/22 HP
"Hahaha. You exploded."
Darik reaches level 6! Darik's Health, Magic, Skill, Luck, and Defense increase by 1!
Carthis and and Shizuka take the front and Carthis reaches for her bow. "This is your last dance." She takes an arrow out and spins it around before launching it into the Revenant.
Critical hit! Revenant receives 12 damage 0/17 HP
The arrow goes straight through the Revenant and it falls to the ground dead. "That went pretty well. Hopefully Shizuka was watching."
Carthis reaches level 4! Carthis' Health, Strength, Skill, Speed, Luck, and Defense increase by 1!
Everyone advances toward the east and, as usual, zombies are waiting there for them. Three Revenants approach from the north and one on both the east and west sides.

Lupis receives 3 damage 13/23 HP
Lupis receives 3 damage 10/23 HP
Miss! Shizuka receives no damage 20/20 HP

Elay gracefully sidesteps out of the charging Revenant's way while Shizuka simply jumps over the other Revenant and avoids it. Lupis is swarmed by the Revenants from the north as they climb all over his dragon, swiping at both him and Kain. Kain manages to knock at least one of the Revenants off with his tail, however.

Kain roars angrily and spreads out his wings, knocking off all the Revenants before picking one up and snapping it in half with his jaws. Lupis smashes one of the Revenants with his axe and turns around to knock another back from behind. One of the Revenants twitches a little, but Kain smashes his tail into it and roars at it. Elay slashes the Revenant that charged at her in two and Shizuka tosses a couple of knives into the Revenant that attacked her.
Lupis reaches level 5! Lupis' Strength, Skill, Speed, and Resistance increase by 1!
Elay reaches level 6! Elay's Strength, Skill, Speed, and Defense increase by 1!
Shizuka notices a chest covered in moss and mud. "Hm. What's this?" She opens it up and finds a Golden Mushroom inside. "Might as well hold onto it." She stores it away in her bag as two more Revenants appear from the north.
