***Synopsis***: We meet the Blue Diamondbacks, aka the Infantry Regiment. A few battles, and now we move on, for what else might we see later.

## Another Day for the Blues

The room is stiff, with dust everywhere. This wasn't normal, all until you look to your side and see the window open with the sounds of a piano playing through. This makes sense. Oh, I forgot to tell you my name, its Sif Lugo, Junior Mage of the Infantry Division. Or We most commonly call ourselves the Blue Diamondbacks. Well, I should be getting up now. Sif would look to his left and right, seeing his fellow Infantry Regiment soldiers. Volo Heimdall, a fairly tall man with brown hair and a rivalry with Sif. Then Hilda Livy, the daughter of the former commander Ajax Livy. Arya Kaz, the kindest of all of us. Alba Engel a loud mouthed child, with a docile brain. Sif would stand up and yawn, walking over to Volo and kicking him off his bed. Volo rolled off the bed, then lobbed a small ball of wind at Sif. This ball of wind would explode when it hit Sif and send him knocking into Arya's bed.

"Shit!" Sif shouts, as he rolled off and quickly hid under Alba's bed.

Arya would awake in a bad mood, grabbing Alba's bed getting to one knee. Now staring at Sif. "Alright Sif, why'd you do It?"

"I did it, because he kicked me off my bed," Volo objected.

"You're a idiot, Sif," Alba said, rolling off her bed with a yawn to follow.

"Not," Sif argued.

"Yes you are," Volo, Hilda, and Alba countered in unison.

Sif crawled from under the bed and got off the ground. All before they could hear the loud playing of a piano. Volo and Sif ran to their uniforms and would attain them quickly. Though the girls would rush into a backroom and change. Sif and Volo would stand strong before the door in a single file line. This is the part where I explain who is who and whats going on. A little bit more info before we move on. The reason why there is so much music is because of the location of St. Amalia Church in Glasgovium of the Spade Kingdom, a town of its music and orchestra. The town's bell rang tolled for high-noon, the time for the Infantry Regiment to make their rounds and get everything situated for the morning. Volo is a Junior, along with a Orphan who lived along side Sif in a orphanage. Hilda is a daughter of a Clover Kingdom commoner, while Arya is also a orphan, with Alba being the only emigrant of the Junior mages.

Sif and Volo looked down at the doors bottom, seeing the silhouette of their Junior Regiment Commander, Rudolf O'Moore. Sif looked back to the door of the back room, worried that the girls haven't appeared yet. The footsteps stopped infront of the door, with dread on their face, the door would open. Happily, the doors would open to a different face. Oya Amalgaid and Yarai Mimis, Mages who graduated from the Junior Regiment a while back.

"Attention!!" Volo and Sif shout, standing straight.

Arya, Hilda and Alba rushed out of the back room and stood strong next to the boys.

"At ease, nice to see you all in uniform. Lucky for you, Lieutenant Commander Rudolf is out visiting his daughter in Tolon. Today, its me and Yarai helping you," Yarai stated, with her hand motioning Oya Amalgaid's importance.

"Since you were late, ladies. Go ahead and run three laps around St. Amalia," Oya ordered, with a clam face.

Alba, Arya, and Hilda sighed. Rushing out the room to do their laps.

"Our duties for today, Private First Class Amalgaid?" Volo asked, formally.

"Head up to the Library, Secretary Staff Sargent Tiamat will debrief you on our situation. It wont be anything serious, Lyu, Tommy, and Duranus are out hunting, " Yarai explained.

"Yes ma'am," Volo agreed, walking out of the barracks.

The church is a pretty large building, built by the town instead of by the Kingdom. This church in particular has a deal between the Infantry Regiment and the Town, with the Regiment using the church if the Regiment work for the town second. Over main missions. Causing the Regiment to turn into a guild. Regardless, as the two walk through the halls, the two could hear the sound of a organ piano play through the building, with the supporting musical hymn of the buildings bells. As the two would walk down a flight of stairs and into a Library that branched off through a narrow hallway. It's as charming inside the library, as a fireplace was lit to combat the cold outside the building. Stone beams and pillars support the upper floor and the lanterns attached to them. The walls are decked top to bottom with books and scrolls.

Mary Tiamat, a red headed woman with nice assets the two boys adored. Secretary Staff Sargent Tiamat would look over to the boys and stomped her boots on the ground once. The boys stood up strong, afraid of the punishment they might face if not.

"Secretary Staff General, M. Tiamat. Private First Class Amalgaid requested we head down to the library to meet you," Sif stated, looking straight as a good soldier should.

"That is correct, you two need to go collect some taxes from the town. Not much is left, but when you get back, do understand that you will be training," Tiamat ordered, tossing a empty chest from the table to Volo. "Oh, I would suggest getting some bread and a bit more wine for tonight meal. I hear Commander Lyu and Tommy have gotten themselves a rabbit for some stew tonight."

"Yes, ma'am." Volo said, turning around with Sif and walking out.

Closing the door calmly, Sif and Volo look at each other and laughed a little bit. Walking out of the building into the snow topped town of Spade's Kingdom, Glasgovium. Glasgovium was built amidst the ivory fields of snow and is truly a bland sight. Its uniqueness is matched by the backdrop of rich, luscious musical skill which have helped shape the city to what it is today. The musicals and musicians brought were of great importance, as it caused the town to become very festive at all times. The skyline is littered with distinct buildings and there is no place with anything like this. Life is great in Glasgovium and it has attracted a lot of attention. Many different cultures have left their mark not just on musical notes, but also upon the education. The town is most noted for housing the Infantry Division and holding a deal with them, while this wouldn't be a problem. The Infnatry Division is known for picking up 'stray cats', meaning people who aren't from or aren't 100% born in the country they're in now.

Never the less, Volo and Sif made their rounds around town. Moving from house to house, the trip was cold regardless. Sif would smile at a woman and slowly walk off before a young boy threw a snowball at his head. Sif looked back and Volo grabbed his shoulder.

The boy shouts, "Stay away from my grandma stray cat!"

The grandmother of the last house would shout at the boy, then looked towards Volo and Sif. Volo and Sif looked at eachother, harboring a deep woe for the peole of Glasgovium and Spade as a whole. Sif and Volo were orphans, meaning that their origin isn't 100%. Meaning, that their rights are suppressed.

"I'm sorry about him. Say boys, you work in the Church?" the grandma asked.

"Yes ma'am, we do," Sif answered.

"I'll send some food up their during nightfall, no worries now. Just remember I will,"

"Thank you, we'll be on our way now. Have a good rest of your day," Volo said, walking off with the taxes.

The two would see more snowballs being thrown at them through the day. Having one kid throw a entire bucket of snow and ice on them.

"You little rat!" Volo roars.

Volo raises his hands, creating a spiraling sphere of wind magic, but was stopped by Sif. Sif held Volo's arm back with a stone hand.

"We dont have time for this Volo," Sif objected. "Either way, it would only make our situation worse. Lets not disappoint the others."

Volo grunted, then picked up the chest. "Where's the bakery?"

"Why?"

"We need bread."

"Do we?"

"Yes, we're eating stew tonight."

Sif nodded, walking forward a bit and answering. "Oh, its right around the corner."

"Sif, you're stupid."

"Not yet."

In fact, Sif was correct, as they turned the corner they found the bakery. Sif and Volo walked into the bakery calmly, The bakery was small, and filled with a sweet scent. Sif and Volo looked around for the baker, but the baker just walked into the building. Sif and Volo looked back.

"Oh, Sif and Volo? I didn't expect you to be here. What would you guys like?" The baker asked.

"Well, we need some bread, for the Regiment," Volo answered.

"I assume a bit of wine aswell?" the baker asked.

"That too, thank you Mr. Owins," Sif said.

Sif and Volo walked out, seeing that the snow was starting up again. This annoyed Sif as he didn't like the snow, it made it difficult for him to manipulate the ground with his Earth Magic. Volo nudged Sif's shoulder to keep walking, with no words crossed between each other, they start walking. Volo started to sing... somethin' old. With Sif raising rubble from the ground by using his magic attribute and put together a fully working harmonica. Though sounded duller than most, the two played Union Dixe, a song that drove soldiers to victory. Their time passed quickly as they played the song, so much so that they were only at the bridge that lead directly to St. Amalia.

"I would hate to fight a alligator," Sif remarked.

Mary would walk out of the front door with the tax collector. "Would you two hurry up? The tax collector has been here all this time waiting for you hooligans."

Sif and Volo rushed forward to the tax collector. Then faced Secretary Staff Sergeant, Tiamat.

"At ease. Get to the garden and through the library to the fields. You have training with Beowulf, Euclid, and Nimah. Although, I'm pretty sure Oya and--" Tiamat would be cut off the instant a explosion happened. "Well, go ahead and watch the fight already."

"Yes, Madam," Volo stated, rushing after Sif who leaped ontop and over the building.

With both Mages using Leg Strength Boost, they would make it a long way up and over the building in seconds. At the same time, Volo's head was almost cut off by a stray sword flying out of the area, only to be saved by Sif accidentally knocking into him. Volo and Sif would tumble and fall off the building and land onto the bleachers. Hilda and Arya would peer over to where they had fallen and laughed at Volo and Sif. With a helping hand, Hilda and Arya would pull Volo and Sif from the damaged bleachers. Volo and Sif would look over to the battle that was unfolding. Yarai, the Chaotic verses Oya, the Diamondbacks Relentless Force.

The battle had been going on for a short minute, but not long enough. The explosion they expected came from Yarai's 'Calamity Ballista', a large Ballista with a blade on the bottom of it. One of the most complex creations of Yarai's Grimoire, the size of the weapon outmatches Yarai's own size, but she's still able to use it with ease. It can be used as a great sword, an anti-tank gun, or a Ballista depending on Yarai's preference for the time. Oya raised her hands, creating dozens upon dozens of swords from her grimoire and sending them straight for Yarai. Yarai would raise her weapon and swing, destroying the swords that would hit Yarai. Yarai wouldn't have time to react, because Oya created a lance out of Light Magic and threw it right at Yarai. Yarai would block the lance and cleave it straight in half.

Yarai would release a flurry of shots at Oya, but they were all useless as Oya would leap through the air and use a cloak of light to protect herself from the attacks. Yarai would swing her weapon around and send rubble at Oya. Oya would laugh and strengthen her swords, to the point that they are able to cut clean through the rubble.

Out of the blue, Yarai would shout "Calamity Ballista: Big Iron!" And Yarai's gun would release a devastating blast of hot molten-like iron. This molten iron would roped up into a ball and sent back to Yarai with Oya's rope made of Light.

"Spit Shot!" Oya shouts, releasing dozens of small bullets made of Light Magic.

Yarai would block the attack. Afterwhich, slamming her blade down to the ground and causing rubble to fly up again. Oya would have her bullets stopped, but would destroy the rubble. Yarai would then rush straight forward, with a destructive kickback of damaging the ground behind her, Yarai raised her blade.

"Calamity Ballista: Widow Maker!" Yarai said, as Oya would cover herself in light back and would cause a force to knock Yarai back.

Yarai and Oya would have each other in a standstill, but as soon as Yarai would loose her momentum, she would use her magic and change the format of her gun. Causing the blade to pop back and cause the blade to become a giant meat-cleaver with a gun on its back, this was called Calamity Ballista: Forceful Punisher Mode. Yarai would land onto the ground, then raise her blade up for another Widow Maker, this time shooting the gun so it knocks the blade forward. Yarai would do this two times in a row as it started to shatter Oya's barrier.

Oya grunted as the force of the strike reaches through the barrier. "Protection of Helios: Release!" Oya shouts, causing the barrier to explode and knock Yarai back. Yarai would use her gun to whip back and slammed her blade into the ground.

"Combustion Leap, Widow Maker..." Yarai mutters, using Widow Maker again, along with Combustion Leap to go a great distance in a short time frame. Oya knew what was going on, and used her Light magic to create two thick sabers.

"Blades of Helios!" With the words spoken, Oya would have created two thick sabers and slammed them together, causing a massive explosion that would knock Yarai to a standstill. Oya then rushed forward with Leg Strength Boost and threw her blades at Yarai. With Yarai rushing forward and going past the blades, but unknown to Yarai. The blades exploded right behind her, sending her barreling towards Oya. Yarai would keep rolling, then got the strength to fire her gun. Throwing her up slightly and allowing her to get off the ground and getting off a unpredictable arching slash at Oya. Oya would lean back, stalling out the arching slash for the last moment that her blades would rebound and clash again, exploding infront of Yarai's blade.

Yarai would stand up from being on the ground and release a heap of mana that consumed the area in a sense of impending burning. Yarai raised her blade and shot once, slamming it down onto the ground. "Calamity Ballista: Earth Slicer!" Yarai released a massive blade of iron oriented mana that would almost cut Oya clean in half. Oya would dance one foot back and aim her arm up, Yarai could read the words "Spit Fire" on Oya's lips and grew more annoyed. Yarai would raise her blade up, dragging another Calamity Ballista from her grimoire and making them both smaller. Oya would release hundreds of small bullets of light back to strike down Yarai.

Yarai used the same configuration to keep up with Spit Fire, shooting to propel her blades to strike down the hundreds of small light bullets. Yarai's blade would strike down, and knock the bullets out of the park. Causing a large amount of damage to the battle grounds, making it hard to see for both spectator and fighters. This is exhausting for Yarai to keep moving her body around like a mere puppet, but Yarai kept up. Yarai would throw one of her blades at Oya and finished the rest of the bullets. This didn't matter, since Oya created another lance and struck down the blade. Oya blitzed Yarai and grabbed her by the face, Yarai was pushed off the ground and thrown to the floor.

"They see you as small and helpless. They see you as just a child, but they can't find out that a warrior will soon run wild. We are the Diamondbacks, don't hold back as much next time," Oya warned Yarai as she stood on one knee.

"Alright, we've seen enough. Good job you two, now go help Mary make the stew," Yoel ordered, commanding Yarai and Oya.

"I would suggest Nimah take Yarai to the infirmary. Yoel and Oya go deal with the stew with Mary. Me and Euclid can train the rest of these Juniors," Beowulf suggested.

"Fine with me, less work anyways." Nimah said, helping Yarai to her feet and walking off to the infirmary.

Volo, Sif, Hilda, Alba and Arya walked into the middle of the training grounds. With Volo manipulating the ground to keep it flat after the battle between Yarai and Oya. Volo and Sif looked at Hilda, Alba and Arya, then they all faced Beowulf and Euclid. Euclid was a threat of her own caliber, a Perun, a child of a large family of military officials. Euclid was noted to not the strongest of her family in presumed power, but never backed down from a fight. Most would argue the strongest of the Perun family are Commander Lyu and Tynged Perun. This wouldn't be so bad of a assumption, if the five weren't so under powered compared to them. Beowulf comes from a similar kattle, apart of the Altruista family, Beowulf is the younger brother of two Infantry Regiment Mages. One of them was the Lieutenant and one is just a higher ranking officer. This wasn't the strongest duo of the Regiment, but a good training duo.

Sif raised his hand over his grimoire. Summoning forth a spear, called the Gáe Bulg. This spear wasn't much special, made with the color of moss green and ivory, with barbed vines spiraling down the shaft of the blade, and a sharp blade with a feather like blade reverse of the main blade and reaching up to the user. Though, this was a pretty basic Spear, it could move around the land at its movements and constantly keeps the user moving with the land. Volo shook his hands and summoned two spiralling balls that were made up of pure wind magic, the most common weapon of Volo's, called the Gust Wind Bombs. Hilda would sigh, taking a long dagger from her boots and holding it by her side. Alba would reach her hand back, and as she did so, a pretty small anchor flew from the forests and landed into her hand. Arya opened her grimoire, then summoned a paintbrush and palette.

"Alba and Sif, hold off Beowulf. C'mon, lets see if we can beat Euclid this time." Hilda suggested.

The battle soon began, but lets take a detour. Moving to the halls of St. Amalia, Commander Lyutsifer Perun sat in a chair outside of the balls with two gash marks on his shoulders and back being treated. Commander Lyu is a funny guy, never taking things serious enough, but always loving the thrill. Lyu would watch the battle that too stand on the training grounds. Though this would seem fun, this bored Lyu. Next to him stood Astro, a swordsman of great skill who would be the most reckless and absolutely crazy Infantry Regiment. Mary would stand over Lyu, aiding to his wounds. With a gentle kiss on Lyu's forehead, Mary was finished.

"Commander, you've looked better," Astro suggested.

"Its fine, I just got a little reckless," Lyu argued.

"Yeah, you'll be 'a bit reckless' when you get your arm mauled off," Mary objected.

"And when that happens, tell me I told you so," Lyu replied.

"My god, you are so ignorant. The Thankarat family wanted to speak with you, Ketill Thankarat," Mary informed.

"Go tell Ketill I'm busy, I have work to be done regardless." Lyu said.

"As you wish, commander," Mary said, slowly walking off.

"Astro, you've kept tabs on Leanne?" Lyu asked.

Mary would stop in her tracks, turning back to see Astro nod away. "What is with Leanne? Why are you so fixed to keep tabs on her?"

"I dont trust the Thankarat family as is.. but Leanne disturbs me. Horrifies me to a larger degree," Lyu replied.

"And the Eskildsens?" Mary asked.

"They know too much, but they're nobility. So we have to deal with them," Lyu explained.

"The Thankarat family's holdings are tied directly too the Eskildsen's. Whenever the Eskildsen's want to, they can just as easily take the Thankarat's out of the game. Every last drop, they've done it before, thats why we keep it hidden," Astro explained, holding a bit of knowledge under his tounge.

"Mary, do understand that politics is just playing a overlapping game of chess. Each kingdom. each monarchy, each nobility, each politician, each notable character, either dead or alive is important. Thee Lugomir Family is one of them... said to expel demons from the world hundreds of years ago, sadly driven to dust. My grandma told me that story. Lets hope that Sif isn't one of them... I'd be pretty upset," Lyu muttered.

"I can't stand either of you," Mary exclaimed.

"You dont have to sweetheart, just gotta love us. You don't have to like other family members, you just gotta love them," Astro explained, watching Mary storm off.

"Man, I'm so happy she doesn't leave us," Lyu said. "Either that or Rudolf will have more paper work to deal with. Its divided evenly between us three."

With a rush past a hall, Dranus slammed into the wall with a wounded arm. Lyu and Astro stood up and rushed over to Astro's side. Helping Dranus to his feet and bringing him into the infirmary.

"What happened Dranus?" Astro asked.

Dranus gripped onto Astro's sleeve and coughed a bit. "The area... me and Tommy... We were attacked, by a Diamond Soldier... they said. It didn't look or sound like they're from Diamond! Go help Tommy, he's still out there!"

Beatrice rushed into the room. The youngest of the Perun family.

"Beatrice, stop that battle down there. Euclid, Astro, Gabby and I will go out into the sector where Tommy is. Make sure everybody gets dinner, we'll be back in a few hours," Lyu said, standing up and walking out of the room with Lyu.

Lyu would watch as Beatrice would leap from the balcony and stop the battle. Lyu and Astro would walk through the halls getting yelled at before stepping into the kitchen and into the stables. Lyu would grab his coat and Astro would take his sword and place it on the side of his horse. With the arrival of Gabby and Euclid, they saddled up.

"You expect to be back at St. Amalia in 3 hours? You have to go pass another town then go to a boarder within a hour if you want to get back so soon," Mary objected.

"That's why we're the Infantry Regiment, the Kingdom's Diamondback," Gabby stated, with her eyes glowing within the dark of the stables.

"The fast, bold, and brave," Euclid said with enthusiasm.

"The cavalry will love this," Mary smirked.

"Dont send word to the Cavalry... this might be a mistake on either or both parts. If this happens again, then tell the Cavalry."

"Lyu, I'm gonna kick your ass," Mary warned.

"I knew that from the start, just don't hurt this lovable face, m'lady," Lyu stated, starting to move along with his horse, then whipping the reins.

With the bolt of Lyu's horse, Gabby, Euclid, and Astro would rush off into the sunset, aiming to get back before sun fall. The howling of the Infantry Regiment blazed through the town of Glasgovium, causing most people to move out of the way fast enough. With the rush of their movement ripping the snow off the ground and making it fly up into the sky, causing it to seemingly snow. The fun part about the Infantry Regiment is the fact that every member can play a instrument, each instrument varies and all random. Yet the other fun part about them made them unique, their ability to move at great distances in such short notice. This is seen as Lyu gives his horse wings and allows it to use these wings while also coating his hooves in wind magic. With Gabby using her magic to set out high amounts of flames on her horses hooves, soaring through the sky as a white blaze. Euclid didn't have anything flashy, all she did was make her horse fly through the sky faster than the others. This was the best fact about the infantry division, how they used their magic non-offensively. Yet still monsters on the battle field.

Lyu, Gabby, Euclid and Astro eventually made their way to the second town in record time. Stopping to get their horses some water and them some food. Though this second town has never housed a Regiment, the Infantry Regiment loves to show up and eat. Lyu, Gabby, and Astro would be held up by a woman of the feintest memory. Josephine Eskildsen.

"Well well, if it isn't the Infnatry Regiment's top dogs," Josephine asked, wearing little armor as normal and wielding her sword by her back.

"Yes, as it seems Ms. Josephine. I do heed, we are on short notice as of late," Astro said, getting back onto his horse with little hesitation.

"Well now, what kind of business is this?" Leanne Thankarat questioned, walking up to the group and staring down Lyutsifer Perun.

As Lyu and Leanne locked eyes, Gabby answered, "Infantry Regiment buisness near one of our borders."

"Oh dear, shall we send word to-" Leanne was then shut down.

"No worries, we will see to it how dangerous the situation is and send letters to the Monarchy appropriately," Astro replied.

"Now, we best be off to it," Lyu said, turning his steed and rushing off with Astro and Leanne following.

With them leaving, the three could understand that sending Astro and Gabby together was a bad idea. Due to the importance of the area and the unknown level of danger, they didn't know what to bring. Blazing through the snowed forests, the three would set chase to a brushing blizzard of up-taking snow. Soon meeting their destination by a cliff side. With little worry, they leap down and crash down near a fight. A fight that seemed to be of unknown station fighting another of high station.

"Commander, didn't expect Keith to get here before you three," Tommy stated, sitting up by a tree.

Lyu looked away from the fast movements and looked at Tommy. "Gabby, tend to his wounds and mount him on a horse suitable. I'll watch over this fight, Astro, go or stay if you want. Doesn't seem like anybody else will be here."

Lyu ordered, turning around and feeling no other presence. Turning his mind off and just watching the fight. Keith Suerius, a Infantry Regiment soldier. being the handful of soldiers who are older than the current commander and still serve. Keith is a great swordsman, being the only person who he has never lost or defeated. He fought a woman, in a heavy brown cloak. This hid her face and hair, making this battle very interesting. With the balance of their footing, they brushed off the snow from them, leaping into the air and striking eachothers blades. Lyu would look to his left and right and see that Keith didn't have his main three swords on him. None the less, they flew down to the ground, and Keith would be falling first. Keith had the woman would embrace with one more strike, sending Keith into the snow first. Keith picked himself up and moved out of the way from the woman crashing down onto the ground. This battle wasn't using much to any mana, Lyu would keep watching as his eyes would lock to their mana thresholds and keep a eye on them.

Though the mound of snow around the woman, she sent quick thinn shots at Keith. Keith danced with one blade by hand and the other behind his back. Keith kept himself moving forward, even when a large gust of wind struck forward, with wind following behind. The woman appeared into the battle with a different attire, the user wears a small musketeer-like helmate, with two thin metals pointing off them. With their hair being a golden blonde on top, then blue on the bottom with two large buns behind the users long/sharp Elf Ears. The user wears a shoulder plate on their left shoulder, with it expanding down onto the users arm. Rama is also given no chest plate, with very little armor protecting themselves. The user is then equipped with two lances, with one with a burnt golden look, and dark blue lance. This reminded both Keith and Lyu, Battle Mode Magic.

Keith would release dozens of single strikes at the woman, with her lances being such hard targets to miss. Keith struck to her left and right, but the woman's movements moved them to her sides. Keith would lean forward into three single strikes, before kicking her in the chest and leaping off her. This was followed by the flowing of grey to silver like mana. Keith's magic is called Aura magic, he uses this magic to enhance his weaponry and attacks, but he now used it to drain a bit of mana from the woman and give her some of his. Putting her mana off balance while he reused the mana he stole and took another strike at her from a distance. The woman almost fell to one knee, before raising her spear to block the strike. Keith used his aura magic to lunge forward and grab his blade, striking the back of the woman. Keith stood straight and raised his blade, bringing it down several times. With the woman on her back, blocking each strike. The woman would get to one knee, all before Keith released a dozen strikes with a mana infused sword. The woman would be knocked back by the force of Keith's blade snapping her lances in two. With no weapon, she would turn back into her cloaked form and raise her fists.

"Stand and unfold yourself, **child**." Keith orders, with his patience running into dist in the wind.

The woman would dodge and duck left and right, making it so that she didn't get struck by Keiths blade. Keith would lung too deep and have his blade caught in the womans grasp. The woman would grip the blade tight with her left hand, slamming her right palm on the side of the blade and snapping the sword, sadly she would be grabbed by her arm. Keith's body glowed with his Aura magic, taking the woman over his shoulder and slamming her on the ground. Then, as her body recoiled back up, he would send all of his force into his leg. Kicking her through tree, Keith then saw her rush back, before throwing his sword at her and missing. Keith went into hand to hand combat. Keith leaped forward, trying to drop kick her, missing the rolled on the ground. Keith would have dodged the woman's leg from slamming his back and shattering his spine.

Keith stood up and struck the woman across the jaw. The woman would then whip around and roundhouse Keith to the floor. Keith would get back to his feet as his pain started to numb out. Keith clapped his hands shut, causing his Aura magic to bulk his arms with a shiny like armor made from his mana. This armor would hold up quite well from the woman's strikes, these strikes would then be brought to a backstep. This was caused by Keith slamming his arms into the ground and destroying the flooring and sending snow to make even ground. With a open grimoire, the woman released a burning blue flame. the woman's hair is a draping blue, as well as giant wings resembling those of a dragon, which are also blue. the womans dress is tattered and damaged, though the coloration is black. The woman's weaponry becomes two greatswords that release a colder version of Azure Flames from the guard that appear as the blades.

Using a attack in this mode called Dragon Rush, allowing the user to rush straight forward and release two devastating spin slashes at Keith. Keith raised his arms up, but his mana armor shattered and he fell to one knee. The woman used another attack, called Chaining Slash, several dozens of slashes that would all be countered by Keith. This wouldn't stop Keith's eyes from being overly aware. Seeing a opening, Keith strikes the woman down. With the lady's body slamming into a tree and shutting her Battle Mode off.

While slowly walking over to the woman, Keith held his arms out like a final boss of a game who just couldn't be beat and was written well. " Is that all you got?"

The woman had her hood fall down to show her green hair. With blood spilling from her hose and mouth, she grunted before releasing a heatwave of mana. Causing the area to be become very... mushy. The woman bolted forward, raising her fist to slam into Keith's smirking face, but was stopped by Lyutsifer Perun drop kicking her through a tree.

"C'mon Keith, you gotta stop doing that," Lyustifer suggested.

"What, I find it fun myself," Keith disagrees.

"Either way, Tommy owe's you this time. We wouldn't have made it if you didn't get here so soon," Lyu said.

"No worries, just remember I'll be around," Keith reminds.

"Not gonna stay and come home for dinner?" Lyutsifer asked.

"Not today Commander, I still need to find Minerva. We both know that," Keith informed.

"I might move you to border watch... that was one of my sisters soldiers. Keep a eye around the area," Lyu suggested, turning around and starting to walk towards his horse.

"Good-aye Commander," Keith said, walking away into the snowy forest.

Lyutsifer would leap onto his horse and turn his steed around. Riding off into the moon light, over the area's blanketed fog that loomed over the flooring and amidst the trees, the moon lit night illuminated Lyutsifer as he could only thing of his family. The family he has know, been apart of and cannot leave, the Infantry Regiment family.
