War Of Forces: Chapter 2, The Alexis Directive

[Mephisto]

"You appear to have wounded among you, perhaps I can help, I am a preist of Meri'ik."

[froofmyster]

"You may be helping a traitor. It's your choice." he turned towards his troops, "SPEAK, DAMN YOU!"

[Mephisto]

"A traitor you say, what do mean" he said, ignoring the fact that the gorbonwitz was preoccupied.

"Not another battle!" Melandie almost screamed, as the battle was happening only 200 yards from her house:"Now I've had enough!" She had been painting that day after the last battle happened. She was painting a picture for a noble just out side the town. But now she was sorming down a flight of stairs and into her kitchen. She puleed open a drawer and grasbed a breadknife into her hand. Her patience was done. She had never felt like this before, burning with rage. She hid the knife in her apron pocket. Furious she went outside and strted heading for the noise. A brief moment later she had reached the clock tower. As she had noticed the warriors outside she stopped and thought. A gorbonwitz, that she had noticed yesterday(?) was screaming at about 20 other gorbonwitz while a man was standing up at the top of the tower. He had a girl in his arm. Melandie had also noticed him earlier on. What the heck is going on the elf thought as she noticed a burning corps at the bottom of the stairs. Another ef was behind the screaming gorbonwitz saying something. Melandie creaped closer to the wall of the closest building. She crawled closer to the battle scene.

Finally, a young gorbonwitz, about 6 (24) spoke. "I knew about this. I organized it." he said proudly. Kardin had had enough. He drew his dagger and threw it into his head, killing him on the spot. Kardin said nothing. He just removed his dagger.

[cruelty13]

Melandie watched in awe, as the gorbonwitz threw the dagger into the head of a gorbonwitz before him. This time she had heard what the gorbonwitz had said. It was something about organizing. She creaped closer, clutching to the wall.

[froofmyster]

He noticed his troops staring at him in horror. "Nothing justifies attacking a child. Nothing."

[Mephisto]

Areine ran over to the soldier "Dead, I hope you can justify your actions" he said to the knife thrower.

As the other Gorbonwitz stared in horror, Magnus heard the sound of several feet shuffling through the dirt. He stepped to the corner of the building just in time to see about fifteen Roshum leap out of the shadows, various blades drawn and charging the Marlag with a loud battlecry. Magnus lifted but a hand to the attackers, growing magnetic fields pulling the knives, spears and swords from the hands of the Roshum, then reversing direction to plant themselves within the hearts of their former masters. The group sprawled into large puddles of their own blood, as Magnus turned to Kardin.

"I will not deny that what they did was against every ethical standard of every God, but that battlecry must have alerted other Roshum to our presence, and staying around here will just result in our being hit with a counter-attack."

[Mephisto]

Areine, who had been prepared to do battle with the Roshum, said "Go then, I will meet you at your HQ to discuss some things" and with that he formed the floating orb of water on his staff into a disc of ice, which he steped on to and dissapered over the rooftops.
