Thread: Baptism of Blood (Writer & Zero)

Sorry Claudia, but that is a request that I cannot fulfill. You see? She held up the key shard, looped through a necklace held close to her neck. This is the symbol of our kingdom from the generation before. Our people rally behind their queen, the flag, and the shard. It shouldn't be held within the inside of some box. She placed it once more within her armor before donning her helmet. The full set gave her a noble look, although there were scratches on the helm from the battles not too far from now. I'm ready as I will ever be dear Claudia. She walked outside of her tent before parading with her horse to the battlefield. Those of her closest guard which she was able to call at a moments notice were brought close to her, giving a layer of meat that blocked her off from the sight lines of the metal beasts beyond the forest. Nearby, Lady Hwa and Lady Emerald prepared their troops for war. The mages of the Hwa hold adorned themselves in red, enchanted robes. The symbols on their entails dictated passages from magical books only spread about within her territory. As for lady Emerald, she wore the same armor that her people wore. A beautiful set of Jade gear protected them from head to toe, marching to the gate like a sea of green ready to swallow those unfortunate to be stuck in their path whole. Nearby the front lines, Lord Yuin laid in wait within the shadows of the scarlet forest. His fencers were agile, their color dark enough to hide within the zones where the sun cannot reach. Quietly, he and his people vanished within the trees, ready for the ambush they've set for the invaders. Lord Aron made his appearance in a clearing right beyond the ambush area. His group was clear for all to see, just as his intention in battle. He wanted to spill the blood of those who set foot within the place he called home. My great sword thirsts for the blood of enemies. Come on men! Come on women! Come all! Fight with me at the helm, so we may cleanse ourselves in a baptism of blood and battle. Lets show these invaders what beings a queensman is like! He bashed his plate mail, starting a rallying cry that can be heard from all ends of the battle zone. His morale was through the roof, and so were the people who chose to follow him. Nearby Emerald lay the ever so hungry drakes, mounted by the brave riders who managed to tame them. Ciph was tired as usual. A bit of a haze covered her conscience. However, her bodyguard was always at the ready, acting as a father to the girl beside him. My lady, you mustn't drink before the battle's won. He patted her back. Must I give you the talk again. Lady Ciph looked up, a hint of drool escaping her armor. I'm up! I'm up! Please! Not the talk again! A chuckle grew around her ranks. However, the sounds of their laughs and their rallies all came to an end once they heard the sounds of tank tracks rolling on the dirt floor. The armies of Richtus were approaching. Although they weren't one for tactics, their overall power was good enough for them to be a danger on the battlefield. They followed through and razed the countryside for nothing more than just the thrill of destruction. Although they weren't near, the sounds of their vehicles were enough to pass the distance. It was loud, and the skies above them were pitch black from the plumes of smoke they gave off. Violet looked on from the village walls, standing near the edge. The time for battle is approaching. She began to clutch her hands together, looking down as if she she were whispering a prayer. Lord Newkes. Please guide our army to victory this day. Please give us strength to resist our enemies, to protect the weak. Please give me the wisdom to provide the right tactics. And please, protect our family. She opened her eyes and pointed her gauntlets in the direction of the smoke. If they choose to bring a fight to our wars, so be it. Let us show them what happens to those who threaten our home and endanger our people. Lets show them who to fear!
