Elinia

An earth-shaking bang startled me awake. I was already dawning my cloak and grabbing my sword off the table, making my way outside to see what was happening. Screams and shouts echoed throughout the camp and immediately I knew what was happening. It was a surprise attack. The Dark Warriors had come at last.

A tent burst into wild flames, people scurrying out of it. I tried to calm the raging fire. Dizziness overwhelmed me and I stumbled backwards. The flames remained raging. Why hadn't I had control over them?

There was a fight raging around me, I could hear thoughts coming from the others. They were begging me to help, take charge as any general should. I blinked a few times and my dizziness subsided.

My sword blazed to life in my hands just in time for me to take the life of a Dark Warrior who had been about to take the life of one of our best healers. Claudia was her name... She muttered her thanks. "Get out of here! To the forest!" I shouted. She nodded and scurried away.

The flames danced in my eyes. The whole camp was already ablaze. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't calm them even slightly. Thoughts stopped coming to me and fear washed though my body, followed by a fresh wave of dizziness. My sword's flames died suddenly.

Three dark warriors were advancing on me and I could hardly keep myself upright. What was wrong with me? It couldn't possibly be hunger...I didn't feel nasueas. I stumbled backwards a step, right into one of the Dark Warriors.

He smirked and threw a chord around my neck, pulling on it tightly. I tried to fight back, but my strength was leaving me. I was panicking now, what was wrong with me? I struggled for breath as the chord was pulled tighter around my throat, trying to scream. Nothing could squeeze past.

Forlo was suddenly at my side, the other three warriors already fallen. He took a swipe at the one binding me, cutting deep into his arm. he yelped and dropped me, Forlo just hardly caught me under my arm. He sliced through the cord and dragged me behind one of the tents. "What is wrong with you?" he hissed.

"I-I d-don't know," I stammered, struggling to remain awake. "S-something's wrong..." He groaned loudly and called for Claudia, who came out from behind some trees.

"Take her to the forest, I'll be there momentarly," he ordered.

Claudia nodded and helped me into the cover of the trees.

Oh boy :3 I'm so excited for this SB

Diana

I sat in the tree calmly, eyes closed, feeling the soft brush of a warm night breeze on my face. It rustled my hair the slightest bit and I smiled. We were on the top of a small hill, with a perfect view of my camp just below. Luvia stood idly by the tree, waiting patiently for my childish games to finish up. Akkio sat on the ground under me, watching me carefully. He barked softly. I cracked one eye open and looked down at him. My smile widened and I swung my legs over one side of the branch. I then let myself fall backwards and I dangled there on the tree upside down, laughing quietly. Akkio stood on his back paws and reached up towards me, nipping at my pale hair.

He stopped quickly and dropped back on all four paws. He took a couple of steps toward the village. I paid no attention; I closed my eyes and swung myself slowly. My hair swayed back and forth as I did so. Akkio took a couple more steps away, then stood perfectly still, smelling the air carefully. After a couple seconds, he backed up slowly.

'D-Diana...!'

I opened my eyes slowly and looked out. Luvia also looked up. The upside down image of burning tents glowed before my brown eyes. They widened quickly and I immediately jumped down from the tree. Akkio took off and Luvia ran up to me. She never stopped for an instant as I jumped onto her back and raced after Akkio, towards camp.

'What do you think it could be?' She asked me urgently.

I shook my head. "Not sure," I answered, then paused. "Most likely the--" another pause, "--Dark Warriors."

As we reached the bottom of the hill, Luvia came to a sudden stop. I never put a bridle or saddle on her, so I grabbed her mane quickly to steady myself. Akkio was already mauling every Dark Warrior he came across. My eyes narrowed as I watched the horrifying sight continue to unfold.

"That idiot who released these warriors better still be alive, because I have dibs on killing him!"

With that, I pushed Luvia on, pulled an arrow out of my quiver, set it in my bow, and mercilessly unleashed arrow after cutting arrow on the murderous Dark Warriors.

Woo hoo! I just love battle scenes ^^ I didn't know what it was, so I just called it a camp Please, correct me if I'm wrong

Rilian

Rilian wove his way through the battle desperately, dodging blows as they came. He needed to find somewhere safer. The heat of the battle was on, and Rilian knew he would be dead in moments if he stayed down in the thick of the fighting.

Finally Rilian saw a clearing in the fray. The edge of the battle. A determined yell tore out of his throat as he darted out of the fray. Rilian had made it to the edge of the trees. He swung himself up into a particularly large tree's branches and flattened himself along its length.

The camp was quickly succumbing to the flames from the trampled campfires. Rilian stared at it in disbelief for a moment before adjusting himself on the branch to reach his bow. He fired off a few well-placed shots, but focused mainly on scanning the battle for anyone he knew.

Rilian's eyes were drawn to a pair of women staggering toward the forest's cover. He recognized them as Elinia and Claudia, general and healer. More importantly, Rilian knew they were allies.

Rilian jumped down from the tree and hurried over to them. The women glanced up at his approach. Rilian noticed how weak Elinia looked.

"What is going on?" he cried over the noise of battle.

Elinia shook her head roughly, leaning on Claudia slightly for support. "Safety first. Then we'll talk."

Rilian fell silent. He glanced at the battle behind him for a moment, then followed the pair deeper into the woods.

Angel

I had almost fallen asleep when i heard chaos erupt outside. I swiftly jumped out of bed and ran outside.
"oh no." I muttered to myself as the dark warrior attacked the camp. I couldn't stay here, i was unarmed! I quickly ran for the woods but a dark warrior stepped in front of me. He almost cut me in half from my waist, but i bent back, arching my body. I pushed off the ground, kicking him in tho chest and landing on my feet.

He wasn't hurt, but it was enough of a distraction to run for it. As i reach the end of camp i looked back, I couldn't help them now. I felt like such a failure. I saw one of the warriors, our warriors, dead laying not even ten feet from me. I turned away, fighting of tears that still escaped and muttered to myself.
"You can't help the dead." I ran up into the woods and climbed up into a tree, which wasn't really hard for me, because i am so flexible. I watched the camp as it was torn apart. The sobbing started, i saw a few people manage to escape the camp. I had to help them! I went to climb down but stopped, i felt very nauseous. I couldn't climb down.

**It is a camp, near the Coromen Forest**

ELINIA

My head was still spinning wildly, I was fighting to stay conscious. "Do you need food?" Claudia asked me, unsure.

They always asked that... Every time something happened to me. I shook my head lightly. "N-no. If I needed f-food I would be n-nasueas," I stammered. I felt like laying down and dieing. I tried to light up a fire in my hand, but nothing happened. I fought to remain calm, not to panic.

"Think we're far enough away?" Rilian asked, glancing back at the camp. It was just barely visible behind the trees now, the orange glow of the flames shining through the thick forest.

I nodded. "Let me sit if you will," I murmered. Claudia lowered me to the ground and propped me against a thick tree. I heard rustling in the trees and my head shot up, making my vision swim and my head pound. I blinked a few times and things came back into focus. "A-angel?" It was her alright. "Are you alright?"

Claudia handed me a few berries. "Try them at least, okay?"

I sighed and took them, plopping them into my mouth. "Angel?" I asked again.

"I-I'm not feeling so great..."

I nodded at Rilian. "Help her down. Now."

We have a DT:

Go there with questions and sub-plot ideas...ect...

FORLO

What was she thinking? Four Dark Warriors we advancing on her and she was just standing there, almost in a trance like state. Nia was a general, she knew better than that. Something was up and she needed help.

I attacked the Dark Warriors from behind, they were easy. I had three of them down before nia even realized what I was doing, but it was too late, the fourth one was already attaking her, he had a rope around he neck and was in the process of tying her up. It was a sad sight, even more sad to know that was Elinia, one of the greatest Generals Aquarazzi had ever known. She couldn't fight, I don't know why, but she looked like death itself. My sword flared up and I took a large swipe at the Warriors arm, cutting her deeply. He let out a large yelp and dropped Nia. I caught her just before she hit the ground and dragged her to the nearest healers tent.

'Whats wrong with you?!" I hissed in her ear, setting her on a cot.

"I-I d-don't know, s-something's wrong..." she sputtered.

I groaned and called for Claudia the healer. We can't have another general dow, especially not Nia. "Take her to the forest," I ordered "I'll be there momentarily. I have some unfinished business." No one messes with Elinia and gets away with it.

Claudia

I wanted to heal her but she wouldn't sit still. "Rilian," I said urgently, "Get her into a comfortable position and get her to stop moving. I'm going to need it to be quiet before I can heal her properly, and I need to know exactly whats wrong."

I walked out into the forest to be alone for a moment and closed my eyes. I breathed in, then out, and felt power surge into me. I was ready.

Daren

I swung my sword here and there, Dark Warriors falling all around. The only thing I could hear were the sounds of the flames of the fires, and the screams of innocent people.

I couldn't see anyone else besides Dark Warriors. I began to get worried, but I continued to fight.

Pain surged through my body suddenly. I looked at me side, and there was a deep gash. A Dark Warrior was behind me, chuckling. He was about to strike again, but I was ready.

He swung his sword at my head, but I ducked. It felt as though things were going in slow motion as his sword swiped right over my face. This was my only chance.

I jabbed my sword towards him, and he fell to the ground. I looked around, but all I could see was fire, no people whatsoever. I shifted into a rat, and ran out of the fire. I made it out, just barely, and returned to my normal state.

Finally, I could see the rest of us, but there were also Dark Warriors all around as well.

Rilian

Rilian nodded to Claudia and started to move Elinia into a more comfortable position. Elinia fixed him with a small glare. "I told you to help Angel."

Rilian sighed. "And Claudia told me to help you. You are quite a bit closer to me than Angel, so you come first."

"Rilian - "

"But now I'm going!" he said, springing up and walked back towards Angel's tree.

"Angel?" he called up.

"Yes?"

"I'm coming up. The tree is going to rattle around a bit. Are you in a steady position?"

Angel rustled around in the tree. "Okay," she called. Rilian frowned. She didn't sound 'okay'. Rilian climbed up slowly, trying to keep the tree as still as possible. His head burst through a patch of leaves. He saw Angel hidden in a small cave the branches of the tree had made. Rilian grinned at her.

"You okay?"

Angel took a breath and nodded. Rilian hoisted himself onto a sturdier branch and held out his hand. Angel took it. Rilian drew her closer to the branch he was resting on.

"So, here's you options now. Do you want to go down slowly or quickly?"

Angel cast a hesitant look down at the ground. "Um - "

"Quickly it is, then," said Rilian with a smirk. He wrapped his arm around Ange's waist and kicked off from his tree branch. The two fell fell out of the tree with a large thump. A smirk still playing on Rilian's face, he set Angel down on the ground. He saw Elinia looked at him exasperatedly.

"Now then," said Rilian bracingly as Claudia came back into the clearing. "Let's see about that campfire, shall we?"

Claudia

"As usual, a good idea," she said. "Elina, alright, I'm just going to put this on your forehead." she grabbed a leaf of one of the trees and placed it on the general's forehead. This would help her have energy from the forest.

Rilian got a fire started, and Claudia put her hands on each side of Elina's face. Slowly, she breathed in, then concentrated.

As usual, it was a blur. She couldn't feel her body. She didn't know what was happening, if it was going right.

She really hated her power....

No one's interacting with me... Lol xD

Diana

All I could hear was the crackling of the quickly spreading flames and the shouts and screams of my people. It fueled my anger and strength and I continued to shoot down the Dark Warriors as quickly as they were arriving. Eventually, when I had run out of arrows, I drew my sword and, pushing Luvia through the people, cut down all the Dark Warriors in my path. After awhile, Akkio ran back to me.

'Diana, I can't find any more of our warriors; we have to go!'

"But...!" I began to protest, but it was no use.

I nodded, finished off the Warrior that was running at me, and followed Akkio through the trees. He smelled around, then caught a familiar scent and began following his nose towards it. We came upon Nia, Rilian, Angel, and Claudia. Nia was leaning against a tree, nearly passed out. Claudia had her hands on Nia's face, healing her from something, her own energy clearly being drained. Angel was sitting by Rilian, helping him to start up a fire.

"Are you sure another fire is the thing we need right now?" I asked him, dismounting and walking towards them.

Rilian looked up at me through narrowed eyes.

Claudia

Eventually, I had done all the healing I could. Not she'd have to work on her own. I didn't want to leave it at that... but it was all I could do. I turned to see Diana.

"How are things back there?" I asked her hurriedly.
