The screams of the fallen where heard throughout all the city, the once white and snowy streets of Rakelstake where now tainted by the blood of innocent men, women and children, all being mercilessly killed off by the attackers.
"Leave no one alive, tonight we celebrate on the fall of this kingdom!" One of them said as he lay down his battle axe on top of the cadaver of an Avarosan soldier. Of course, this would be impossible, considering that the Avarosans have probably one of the better armies of all Valoran, but at the time of this happening, there was only one person leading this arm, who was succumbing by the sheer number and viciousness of the foes.
"Steady" A commanding female voice called from the back lines, commanding a full brigade of archers. "Aim" Her commands being obey by every one of them, pointing at the sky or at the closest enemies they had, as the front line was beginning to give way. "Fire!" And with the order every single one of them shot a rain of arrows onto the enemy, piercing both armor and bodies of the foes, as more came from behind, shielding themselves with the bodies of their dead comrades. "Push forward!" They commanded and moved.
"Retreat, prepare another volley" The commander of the archers said, preparing her bow and shooting crystal clear ice arrows onto the enemies, killing every victim of them instantly. "Dammit, where is everyone, I sent the distress call half an hour ago" She said to herself, not knowing they would not come to help her, her people would fall down as Rakelstake burn and her castle crumbled.
"Charge!" The attackers pursued the retreating archers, catching up to the back and killing them of, it didn't matter the rank or sex, murder was the only thing the Queen of the Freljord saw that day, she had enough, she took a deep breath and aim towards the middle of the attackers squad, searching for the leader, but since there was no exact one she decided just to attack the middle, she raised her bow to the air, letting the ice build up in her arrow, as power flew through her body, all the way to her fingertips, and with one decisive move she let it go, the arrow shooting up in the air, at the highest point of its flight it reached its full strength, it grew into her signature move, the Enchanted Ice Arrow.
"Get out of the blast radius!" One of the men tried to warn, but it was too late. The arrow pierces through the man in the middle of their group, instantly killing him, but unlike on the field of justice, this one was bigger and stronger, which made it so that the moment it impacted with would act like an asteroid hitting the ground, as a white light blinded everyone and the screams of the attackers filled the ears of the survivors, the Queen fell to her knees, panting in exhaustion, although the attack did manage to kill them, or at least make them unconscious, it took too much to use it, she was tired and on the border of fainting, that's when she heard a haunting clap.
"Good work, my queen" Said a taunting voice in the distance. "You!?" She responded, trying to get up, shaking while doing it. "Well yes, you don't think these brutes would attack the city without someone guiding them, do you? Don't be foolish, Ashe, the alliance wasn't going to last long, and now your death will paint the new era.". Ashe saw an attack coming, just barely she rolled out of the way, still kneeling and panting she slowly rose up, shooting arrows at her adversary, yet they were missing it's target.
"What's wrong? Can't shoot a target anymore?" The person taunted her, moving closer and giving Ashe a blow to the abdomen, causing Ashe to cough blood, her wearily body not giving any resistance, she fell down and coughed up. "Poor Ashe, finally kneeling down to a true leader, what a way to go through." She then was kicked, making her look at her attacker. "Say goodbye, Avarosan." She saw arm raised, about to attack with something she couldn't see, numbness taking over her with alarming speed, with the final breath of consciousness she felt something in her navel area, she didn't know what it was, but she wouldn't find out as her world went blank.
And cut, that's all for now.
