**Alright, I read everything as close as I could, but I'm still not quite sure where Meer is, so could somebody bring him back in in their next post? Traystal won't be back until Moonlight posts, or if she vanishes again like last time, I'll bring him back shortly.**

Boltageman: It wasn't Max I was referring to Boltageman, I didn't know you wanted to bring him in so quickly, but I can work that out. Oh and you're coming to get him now, and who is this boss guy? I have an idea, and i shall PM you if that is okay, and I will PM you to Lethero to make sure you approve....
Billy: YAY YOU"RE BACK! And Meer and Ra can have a nice little conversation!
Korah
Korah slowly stared into the boiling cauldron (cliche I know), watching the middle part that was flat and clear as he surveyed the pictures and images floating and twirling within. They were memories that the demon had gathered during the battle, basically everything the monster had seen with its two eyes. The whole thing was truly fascinating. Between werwolves, wizards, witches, vampires, alans, griffins, phoenix, fairies, and the gods alone knew what else. The group was massive, and consisted of such a variety of creatures, something he himself had almost never seen before.
But there were certain individuals in the whole battle that made him uneasy, the biggest one of them all being the young werewolf with the Blood Paw Armor. He knew the stories of the priest from years ago. How it had been an evil spirit, bound by the Priests and used to kill magical creatures. Things were different now though, no "Priest" was running this thing. The man behind it all was much more powerful and influential. In truth the "Spirit" or Priest had yet to be summoned, but soon, very soon all of that would be done.
"You're wanted Korah," a low voice hissed in the shadows.
Korah didn't even flinch. "Ahhh... I thought you would be coming soon Max, the time is approaching, isn't it?"
"Yessss," the Vampire whispered as he glided into the room, "the time for summoning has arrived, and you are needed, all the others will meet us there."
Chuckling darkly Korah waved his hand over the cauldron and the bubbles quickly subsided as the images disappeared. "Odd is it not," Korah whispered as he grabbed a black cloak and swung it over his shoulders,l that this should all be happening now. Before he used a religious order to hide is doings, so that when they died and the Priest was killed it could not be tied back to him. Now however he insists on doing it himself."
"That is because things will be different this time," Max growled, "The pieces have already been put into place, and not long from now everything will begin to move."
"What race will be the first to go?" Korah innocently asked as he turned and strolled out of the room, Max not far behind him.
They made their way to the outer-courtyard as Max replied, "The Elves..."
Korah merely acknowledged the answer with a nod. It was a wise choice, the Elves possessed much magical knowledge, and they knew their history, all to well. Reaching into his cloak Korah pulled out his silver amulet and held it into the air. Words began to come out of his mouth as he released the dark spell. A sudden gust of wind blew into the courtyard, sending dust flying as their robes flapped and fluttered violently. The amulet began to glow as a plume of fire erupted from its core and sprang out into the air as it grew and soon the Demon stood before them both. Korah jumped lightly onto the beats back as he turned to Max and called, "Coming? Our Master awaits..."
Ra
Ra let his gaze wonder as he stared at all the sleeping forms spread out around the campfire. The crackling off wood and the light snores from the beast rose into the air, melding together like a dark symphony. He didn't sleep. It was the one thing this body did not need, besides it's constant desire for food and water. He could sleep if he wanted, but it was hardly required of him.
"Have trouble resting?" a soft voice answered as Meer came walking over, wrapped up in a blanket as he plopped down next to Ra and stared into the dying flames.
"You could say that," Ra answered, "And you?"
"Yea... I just can't sleep. My mind is racing with all that has happened, I'm just feeling a little... overwhelmed," Meer said with a tired sigh as he rested his chin in the palms of his hands. "What do you think will happen next? Will we find this Lethero?"
Ra shrugged, not sure of how to answer. "Who knows, maybe he's dead, maybe he isn't, we'll just have to wait and see how fate turns out. But things are moving, the stars are disturbed by it."
"The stars?" Meer asked, an eyebrow raising in question as he glanced over at Ra.
"Yes," Ra whispered, "They are nervous for the dark times ahead." His voice faded as the two just sat their in silence. Ra glanced over at April, her still form curled next to the fire's dying embers. Her eyes were closed and he could see her chest slowly rising and falling with each breath. She looked so peaceful, nothing like she had early today at the village.
"You like her, don't you?" Meer suddenly asked, as he saw where Ra was staring.
"Like her?" Ra said, his voice puzzled as he tried to understand the phrase.
"Yea, why? You wizards don't know what Love is?"
"I have never experienced love, at least not in the way you humans phrase it. The emotion is somewhat strange to me."
"Magical maybe?" Meer asked with a grin.
"Yes..." Ra murmured, "It is indeed truly magical."
*Alirght everyone I'm just going off of Traystal's last post (Billy's post)*
Rush~
I stood by the outskirts of the Mountain Range. I didn't like heights and to be up here only made me feel less elven and more morta, but I sure as hell couldn't stay down bellow, what with all those mythical creature haters. My bow was at my side as usual and arrows at my back. I whistled a jolly tune as I slowly laid hunting traps for any source of food tonight.
I saw a shadow flit past the corner of my eye and within a second had my bow at the ready, with an arrow grasped in it's groove. "I know someone goes there. Show yourself!" My voice echoed off surrounding trees.
A figure, not much more than a shape in contrast with the sky, appeared from the canopy. Taking on a more solid look, I soon saw a man materialize in front of me. A white robe, with shoulder length, curly black hair twined with a barely perceptible dark green tinge in it, similar to a slight glow. Then there were eerie green eyes that shown back at him with amusement and confusion.
*Okay, Billy, I posted. Let me know if I did anything wrong or when your gonna post back, k?*
If I can impact one person, just one, with my writing before I die, then I've lived a great life
"Oh very well. But I must prefer to ride on my horses. The ride is pretty fun, also the king gave me an order for us to fly over the southern phoenix tribe. H has developed a weapon for them, he wants us to drop this," I said pulling a small package from my package out of my pocket.
"What is it?" Korah asked as I climbed on.
"It is a poison, it has the ability they believe to kill the phoenixes, well their memory. We are going to basically make them newborns, it kills them, and then wipes their mind. Using this we can summon an army of immortals to our forces. We will have an army stronger than any you could summon from death," I explained.
"Ah, well that is quite good. I am not really a fan of them though. They never die, they can live forever. I personally just wish we could figure out to kill them instead."
"Well our order is to capture them, for taming purposes."
With my word we took off, and after a bit arrived over the village.
"Here we are," I said and dropped the package.
It erupted with a strangely large gas, that spread. There was screeching moment later, and we got down. In a few minutes we had three sacks full of the birds, and we took off again to the base we were told to go to.
"Ah very good, these will be useful, you may go now," The head said taking the bags and then he walked off.
"So now let's get back to business," I said and we climbed back onto the demon.
Fawkes
"What are you doing?" I heard someone ask as I strapped my bag on.
"I am leaving to go south like I had planned. I need to rally the phoenixes, we are going to need more help," I said plain before taking off. Once in the air I took to top speed, letting flames push me forward. The trip to the nearest Phoenix tribe was not to far from where we were at the moment.
After about twenty minutes of flying I scanned the forest below me. The tribe here was a very close, so I began to descend, but then smelt something, and stopped dead. It was poison, all through the air. And around the ground were also piles of ashes. The phoenixes were killed and taken while still young. No, it could not be. I landed, my breathe held.
The floor was not much better. Around the streets were piles of ashes. This was very odd, not only where the piles overwhelming, but still here. Every tribe would always clean up re-birth ashes right away. Then I saw something else, and my heart stopped. On the ground, net to a pile of ash, was a small unplumaged baby bird, dead. I ran to his and picked it up. It was covered in soot, and this stuck to it, so so I could not make it out to well, but I knew it was a baby phoenix.
As quick as I could I took off I felt sick, I knew I had so little time before I would die. So I went faster then ever "Fawkes, what is wrong?" someone asked.
"The phoenixes, they are gone, all gone. They have a way to kill the phoenix. I was only hit with a fraction of it, I will live, but if they can kill us who can not die. Then there is no stopping them," I said hoarsely before erupting into flames. A moment later there was a puff of fire, and I climbed up, a baby bird. No plumage, not speaking abilities, no nothing but a body.

Scado heard the wings before he saw anything. The steady rythym of flapping wings. Dragons, he thought. But one seems pretty small. They quickly appeared over the horizon. It was Fyra and Ajle. He did not know who the other larger dragon was, but he guessed it was Ajle's son.
"Scado!" Ajle cried landing in from of him and shifting to her human form. "I'm glad to see you."
"Why?" Scado asked.
"It's your grandfather, Lethero. He's fighting Pravius, the new evil that has appeared."
"Where is he, I must save. Why didn't you stay and help him."
"He told us to go. He was being his old stubborn self. Always defending people from forces stronger than he is."
-Lethero-
Lethero limped out of the cave and collapsed to the ground. He fought his best at his old age, but he could not defeat Pravius. But he didn't understand why it didn't finish him. He knew that he did not have long to live. He slowly tried to stand, but collapsed again. Unwillfully, he slipped into a darkness.

Bolt: I know you said their were a bunch of races I just meant Maximilans race, theirs still re vampire beach nobles the blue blood vampires and the weird one from that sheleton detective book.. So just the classic old type are dead.
* I want to write but I can't thing of anything sorry.*
Why? Those are the ones that are the ones that are the real mythical ones dead. The ones in the books are not the actual mythical ones really. And if the old classic ones are dead, that is about 25 different kinds, because different areas of the world had different ones.

**April's adoptive parents are the kind that are like the ones in lord of the rings..**
April~~
April's dreams were filled with splendor at first, her memories flashed before her as light hearted fantasy like things and then they were soon consumed in flames then replayed again. She awoke to the sounds of people leaving and re-entering.
"April, wake up." A voice said over her.
"Why?" Her answer sounded childish but she opened her eyes for Ra to come into focus.
"It's morning and the sun is up," He seemed content that it was up and April slowly creaked her way up. The others were already moving in a grim manner, and her stomach growl broke the silence.
"Sorry.." She mumbled and then realized that she didn't eat anything the night before. She rummaged through her bag to pull out a canteen of sweet smelling drink.
"What is that?" Meer, the curious human asked.
"Is that Miruvor?" Ra asked curiously.
"What's that?" Meer questioned again.
"Drink of the elves," April sipped, it slid down her throat.
The one who smiles the most has something to hide.
..i'm lonely...message me..some how add me on your social networking site (unless you are some creepy weirdo who stalks girls for their organ harvesting company..i personally like them inside of me thankyou )
Ahhh okay I somehow missed the whole Pravus thing. This will be fun though, we will kind of have two bad guys going at it. Korah/Max and their side as well as this Pravus!
Jok101:Hey jok101 since I just realized who Pravus is I am gong to bring in your post but tweek it just a bit to fit in all of this.
Mad_Moo: Don't worry we will keep your character alive
All: Okay this is long. But a lot of things have happened so I am just tying them altogether. We have Fawkes leaving and coming back, the arrival of the dragons, Pravus, and all the other stuff...
Ra
Ra stood on the lone rock that stuck out of the mountains side. His face was upturned toward the horizon as he watched the first rays of the sun begin to appear. The purple and red hues splayed along the morning clouds, showering the country side in dancing colors of gold and orange as the sun began its path across the sky. "Welcome," Ra whispered as the warm light slowly fell on his body, "Welcome to a new day!'
Turning he hopped off the rocks face and made his way down to where the camp was. Everyone was just beginning to stir and Ra wasted no time restarting the fire. He had taken the liberty to prepare food, catching a few rabbits as well as growing some basic vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, and a few onions. He had even created a few chickens for the occasion, making sure they laid a couple of eggs before he had plucked their feathers and skinned them before tossing them on the spit over the fire.
"Oh that smells good," April murmured as she slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes as she stared at Ra who was busy around the fire.
"Didn't sleep much," Ra answered as he gave the chickens another rotation and stirred the eggs and potatoes that were frying together. "So I thought I would get breakfast ready."
"Well you did a good job," Meer muttered as he stumbled over, his hair all tousled as he rubbed his eyes with a yawn.
"Yea, where did you get all of this stuff anyway," Pippa murmured as she to came stumbling over.
"Magic," Ra answered with a grin as he handed April a plate and began to dish out the rest of food to everyone else. It didn't take long for everyone to get moving and soon Fawkes had taken off, disappearing as he said he was going to go find some help for them. Nothing else happened, Ra checked on Peace's wound, and was satisfied by how it was healing. "You'll need to avoid demon blades for a while," Ra said with a grin.
Peace snorted as Ra covered the wound once again. "I'll go my best," he muttered as he slowly stood to his feet. Is that Fawkes..."
Ra turned to look in the sky, his eyes quickly finding Fawkes who was coming to their camp at a dangerous speed. As he landed everyone watched to his side as he spluttered and chocked, stray flames leaking out of his mouth as he gagged. "The phoenixes, they are gone, all gone. They have a way to kill the phoenix. I was only hit with a fraction of it, I will live, but if they can kill us who can not die. Then there is no stopping them,"Fawkes said hoarsely before erupting into flames. A moment later there was a puff of fire, and a baby bird climbed up at of the ashes. No plumage, not speaking abilities, no nothing but a body.
"Not good..." April muttered as she reached down and picked up the baby child, rocking it in his arms as it let out a small chirp.
Ra's mouth turned into a hardened frown as he shared a look with Scado, this was a bad sign, very bad. A sudden sparrow came flittering down from the sky, it let out a chorus of nervous chirps as it alighted onto Ra's shoulder. "What the..." Altu growled as he eye the little bird.
"It seems afraid," Lane peeped up.
Ra didn't answer, he merely listened to the little bird before cursing quietly as he turned to everyone else. "As if things couldn't get any worse," he said, his voiced dripping with sarcasm as he glanced over at the baby Fawkes who let out a small peep. "We have two dragons and a Fire Drake coming this way, and fast."
"Great, all we need is more trouble," Adam muttered as the camp was quickly broken down. April put out the fire with a simple wave of her wand as she formed a quick pouch for the baby Fakes. Pippa and Scado quickly packed up the supplies with the help of Meer as Altu and Ironclaw scattered the wood and animal parts around the area.
The beat of wings could soon be heard. Everyone looked up into the sky as two large dragons appeared. Their large bodies swooping down as their giant wings sent gusts of winds blowing through the trees with every beat. Next to them a small fire drake zipped along, letting out the occasional trill whistle as the odd trio landed in the small clearing their camp had been in moments before. The smaller of the two dragons shifted into a young woman as she called, "Scado! I'm glad to see you."
"Alje?" Scado whispered, his face fill of shock and surprise.
"It's your grandfather, Lethero. He's fighting Pravius, the new evil that has appeared."
"Where is he, I must save. Why didn't you stay and help him," Scado suddenly growled, his fist clenching up as he took an angry step forward.
"He told us to go. He was being his old stubborn self. Always defending people from forces stronger than he is, besides only the blood blade can kill Pravus."
Ra froze, his face going white as he felt Peace's hand grab his arm roughly. "Ra... it's Pravus."
"Impossible..." Ra whispered, his voice going hoarse as he turned to look Peace in the eyes, "I thought we had dealt with him for the last time years ago."
"We have to go after him!" Scado angrily yelled as he grabbed his sword and turned to run towards the mountain.
"You can't Scado!" Ra called, "What do you think you can do if even this dragons fled!"
"I can't do nothing!' Scado growled back, his fangs glowing as he let out frustrated snarl.
"I will go with you then," Ra whispered as he heard Peace hiss behind him. "But not to fight Pravus, not yet, we are far from ready. But I will go with you to rescue Lethero. We get him and flee." Turning to the larger of the two dragons Ra asked, "Will you go with us friend, we will need help."
The large Dragon nodded as Adam said, "I'm coming to."
"Very well," Ra whispered, "Peace you stay and get things ready to flee, you're to wounded to accompany us." The Vampire nodded as Scado, Adam, and Ra hopped on the Male Dragon's back and took off into the sky. "Let us just pray that we are not to late..."
*Oh dear, there seems to be a bit of a mix up with the dragons. They're both female, and Alje is the (larger) mother of Joran. We'll just assume that Ajle is the one who is going to rescue Lethero. I'll post as her as needed.*
Alje
I took of into the sky, a heavier load on my back than what I'd carried in a long while. It took me a few moments to get accustomed to the extra weight, but once I had it became easier to fly faster and smoother. The sun was just beginning its climb into the clear blue sky and the air was losing some of its chill. The ground below fell away to a dark green and brown blur.
"How long until we get there?" one of the people on my back called over the wind.
"We need to hurry!" another one yelled.
"It won't take long," I answered, twisting my head around to communicate better. "Trust me, I'm as anxious to get there as many of you are."
Soon the faint purple outlines of the mountains came into view, becoming clearer and more distinct with each passing second. The ground below gave way to a crystal blue lake, reflecting the sunny sky above. I began to descend, still keeping my wings angled towards the mountains.
"Get ready, we're almost there," I said, tossing my words over my shoulder. "It's just ahead, at those mountains."
Amistin
One of the dragons took off into the sky carrying three of the others with her. The remaining dragon quickly transformed into her human form, looking distraught, while the firedake began to talk to her in low, soothing tones. I couldn't hear the words from where I stood and figured it would be rude to intrude.
I turned, looking for something to do or someone to help. The witch, April, also seemed concerned and was staring up at where the dragon has disappeared into the clear blue sky. The griffilisk, Altu, appeared to be talking to the fairy Pippa who was perched on his shoulder, her wings occasionally fluttering slightly. Everyone else was either packing what few supplies we had or talking amongst themselves.
Slowly, I approached the witch, the only one who didn't seem to be doing anything. I coughed lightly as I got closer to alert her to my presence and she turned, looking puzzled as she instantly recognized me as 'the newcomer'. I stopped a few feet away, glancing up to where she had been looking.
"Are you alright?" I asked cautiously, not really knowing what else to say.
Joran
My mother disappeared into the sky, despite my belief that I should have gone instead. Fyra came up beside me as I switched into my human form, my brow creased in worry.
"I'm sure your mother will be fine, as will Lethero. If I know anything about the two of them, it's that they're both incredibly stubborn," the firedrake tried to reassure me. "Just wait. Your mother will be back soon."
"I hope you're right," I said quietly, fighting the urge to take to the sky after the others to offer my assistance. But Alje had strictly forbidden me from following them, and no matter how much I wanted to I could not go against her wishes.
"I know I'm right," Fyra said optimistically, a small smile on her face. "Come on, lets go and see if there's anything we can do to help these people."
Be the cartoon heart. Light a fire, light a spark. Light a fire, flame in my heart. We'll run wild, we'll be glowing in the dark.
I tried to speak, but nothing came but peeps. I wanted to go with them, but my pouch was holding me down. So now my attention was trying to get April to loosen it for me.
"Help me out of this, to tight," I tried to say, but only high pitch squeaks came out.
Eventually I gave up trying to get out/ It would be another week before my speech returned, maybe three days, I had once taken that amount of time, hopefully it would happen again. They needed to know more than my small telling, they needed to help me to get there. If only I could have been near Ironclaw, he knew how to communicate with me in the form, some what. He would be able to go to the other phoenix tribes with me, warn them.
Epically the monition tribe of the north called to me. My wife, and three kids were there. I was a lucky phoenix, most only ever got one kid, but my wife was a miracle, she had gotten three for use of the years, my time sense before some of the gods *yeah I'm changing his age to be older than any knows.*
My race was one of the strongest there was, we had no way to die, we all lived for ages. Our wisdom was greater than any race, and only gods could rival it, if we were gone some of the oldest and most powerful magic would be lost with us. And that would not happen, so long as I had anything to do with it.
But right now I could do anything now.
Ironclaw "Well I am off to make another hunt," I said and took off once more. After I had reached a good distance from the camp I felt a presence and landed right away.
"Ah hello young Ironclaw," I heard echo in my head, Max was talking to me.
"What?" I spoke aloud.
"Well I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to make it to the camp tonight. So I need you to tell me the days events now," He said.
At once I told him everything, and he laughed.
"Oh so naive, so naive. Well thanking you young one. Now remember to listen and be on alert. And if you have anything huge, just think of me, I have placed a spell on you to let us talk like this."
"Yes master," I said and he was gone.
Quickly I grabbed a few small prey, and two large ones and went back to camp.

*grins sheepishly* Sorry about that Maybe, they are both girls... good to get that cleared up .
If it is okay lets have a little fun with this so no one end it in one post, please.
Ra
Ra felt a cold shiver trace its way down his spine. He hated the cold. The very feeling was what he imagined death to be like. Having all of the heat slowly sucked from your body as your toes and arms grew numb and sluggish. Luckily the sun was still out and he could draw from its warmth, allowing its warm breath to slowly rise from within and radiate out of him.
"Get ready, we're almost there,"the dragon, Alje said as she nodded toward the approaching mountains. "The cave lies near the top of the smaller one to the right, that is where Lethero and Pravus should be."
Ra unconsciously shivered again at the sound of its name. Pravus. The very word seemed to drip with hate and malice. It was a being of darkness, it was the only thing in this world that actually scared him...
A loud hiss filled the air as Ra scrambled back, throwing out fire balls with a grunt. His back met the cave wall, and with a sinking groan he realized Pravus had cornered him. The shadows moved and danced, avoiding the ember flames as they sought to encircle and trap him. "Hurry Ra!" a panicked voice called.
Ra turned to see Peace motioning for him to hurry. Turning around Ra scrambled up the cave wall, his feet slipping and sliding on the smooth rocky surface. Ra suddenly cried out as something wrapped around his ankle, and began to slowly pull him. Pull him into the shadows...
"Its there!" Alje suddenly called as she swooped down.
Scado let out a small whimper as Alje dipped forward. Ra didn't blame him, the movements were making his stomach start to churn as well. Suddenly he could see the gave, his hawk like eyes narrowed as he saw a limp form come staggering out of the cave's jagged mouth. The being collapsed, and he could instantly tell it was wounded. "We need to hurry!" Ra called as he pointed down at Lethero.
Alje didn't need any encouragement. With a roar that shook the very mountainside she dived forward, her noise and tail going straight as she turned into an arrow. The air whistled past them and Ra gripped the large spikes on Alje's back as he struggled to stay on. She suddenly swooped upward and landed on the ground right behind Lethero as she leaned forward and loose another challenging roar.
Ra leaped off her back without hesitation as he rushed to the old werewolfs side. "Who... are you," the wolf gasped as Ra pressed his hand against the old man's wounds. His fur was stained red with the blood that was flowing out of his abdomen. Ra quickly tore off a piece of his shirt and held it against the wound while he began to murmur a small spell. Gold sparks of light began to fall from the air, falling over the ancient werewolf as his body slowly relaxed as the pain left.
"I am a friend," Ra answered. The pain may be gone but the old wolf was dying, his aura was quickly fading. "We need to get you out of here." Ra said as he lifted up werewolf. His fail frame felt like paper to Ra as he turned and headed toward Alje.
He barley made it a step when a cold voice called, "So you are still alive."
Turning Ra watched as a single figure came slinking out of the cave entrance. Her auburn hair was tied back, highlighting her high cheek bones and thin lips. Smooth bronze skin was a tinged with scarlet and gold flecks that made her shimmer and glow in the morning sun. Two piercing emerald eyes calmly stared at him as the lithe figure came gliding down the mountain side as if it were walking in air. She was clothed in a simple white dress that moved and fluttered with the slightest breeze. The cloth itself seemed to be alive, as she moved it formed to every curve and step, dancing and falling around the girl. "Pravus..." Ra hissed as he glared at the beautiful maiden before him, "So this is the form you now take?"
The young woman paused, not answering at first. She looked to be around 21, but the knowledge and malice that filled her eyes spoke of many years. "Hello Ra," she whispered, "Surprised? You're curse didn't last as long as you had suspected, you must be getting weak in your old age."
Ra didn't answer. Adams and Scado suddenly appeared at his side. The Vampire hissing while the werewolf let out an angry howl and barred his fangs. Alje herself watched the whole thing closely. Her body poised and ready to strike at a moments notice should the need arise. "Let's us go," Ra growled, his body tense as he watched the her.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, his soft lips barley moving as she talked. "But I have plans of my own, and I cannot allow you to leave. Especially you young one," she whispered as she turned to stare at Scado. Her eyes slowly wondered over his body, coming to rest on his sword that was gripped tightly in his hands. "The Blood Blade..." Pravus whispered, and for a moment time seemed to freeze. Ra didn't even realize what happened next. One moment Pravus was staring at them, and the next she stood floating in the air, a dark light bathing her form. Pointing at Alje she waved a hand in the air and the dragon was suddenly lifted off the ground. With a cry Alje was flung aside, her body bouncing as she crashed further down the mountain. Ra turned to run, moving fast as an explosion of energy shook the ground.
"Run!" he called, but Scado and Adam hardly listened. They charged forward, yelling angry cries as they approached Pravus.
Cackling at the sight of the warriors she raised her arms into the air while screaming, "I shall end this today, and once again the Blood Blade will be banished, becoming but a legend once again!"
I might get on maybe tomorrow, but probably not*
