Ominous dark clouds befouled the expanse of skies. Figures draped in dark garments held high great rods of silver. Mystical lights coursed through the rods in pulses of lime green energy. Master Hunter General Ivexa, raised her bejeweled hands gracefully toward the figures. Immediately they lowered their rod,s and bowed deeply. Ivexus straightened her posture from her temporary War Throne. She looked with sparkling eyes to her Royal Messenger. The young man quickly stood at attention. "Xandros, send word to the Elite Hunter Commanders. All of them: I have ordered the European mages to distill our cloak of darkness. The time for waiting in the shadows has ended. Advance to the frontlines and we will purify this world of all evils. From this moment on all squad leaders will communicate only through Taoist Crystals. We cannot afford to lose this battle due to communication interceptions by our enemy." Xandros tried not to get lost in her lovely eyes. He shook his head slightly to focus. "Yes, Lady Ivexa it will be done." The messenger bowed, mounted his horse and galloped to relay her message to each of the twenty Hunter Commanders.


Draslis, commander of the small unit of European mages, approached the War Throne, "Roman High Command did not give us false knowledge, my lady. You are very beautiful indeed." He bowed low to the floor. Master General Ivexa eyed this man as if he were a mischievous little secret and returned his bow with a bright half-smile. "Commander Draslis, you flatter me. I admire that you follow our customs as well." Ivexa stood up, her entire armor set was sparkled with gems and other precious stones, all enchanted for the best protection. She stood face-to-face with the European; she was not very tall, measuring only to his collarbone. "My lady... the Imperial Hunters of Roma may not be here in time to assist your forces in combat." She merely whipped her flowing air around her crowned head. "Draslis, I thank you for that tidbit of information. But I feel compelled to let you know this fact: the Royal Hunters of Asia amassed here on this foreboding plain are probably more well-trained than Europe's most elite." Draslis grinned softly, beauty and strength, this woman is very fine. I will now demonstrate the potential of my army. The Hunter Union of Asia, won't send in reinforcements for days. We will have already been victorious in that time I assure you Commander. For I myself will be leading in the frontlines." Draslis watched her as she summoned her enchanted war bow from out of thin air. One of the finest weapons ever crafted in the known world, it glowed with intense purple energy, as if it had a pulse of its own. "Farewell, Commander. Until I have the pleasure of conversing with you again." Ivexa disappeared in a flash of green light, leaving Commander Draslis to moniter the coming battle from the high ground.
