REFRESHER:

"Bella would never be able to kill me," I thought; "But Gurthiel would and she would show no mercy."

I looked up at the moon and knew that Gurthiel was also looking up at it.

Chapter Eighteen: Final Battle

Rowan's Pov

Gurthiel had picked the location were the battle would take place. She strategically placed her army on the high ground so we would have the advantage.

I looked down the hill to Aro's army and four horses rode out to the middle of the field.

"Shall we see if they will surrender?" Alice suggested.

Gurthiel turned in her saddle and pointed to myself, Carlisle and Jake to join her in the emissary.

"I want to go too!" Brigit insisted.

My wife and love turned sharply in her saddle and her dark eyes pierced her daughters.

"No!"

"But why mother?"

"I have my reasons"

Birgit flinched under her mother's cold glare and bowed her head in apology. Gurthiel turned her gaze to Aro's army and took off with Carlisle, Boudicca and myself after her. The four of us rode down the hill to meet the other four rides in the center of the battlefield.

"Come to surrender?" Aro's general with a cocky smile in place.

The Gatherer of Souls turned her dark eyes on the general.

"I'd watch what you would say Donahue or I might just rip out your soul right now," Gurthiel's voice was cold as ice and hard as stone. It made everyone shiver.

"Here are my terms," Aro stated; "Disband your troops and submit under my rule and I will make you and your people my personal guard of honor."

A smirk appeared on my face as well as the faces of Carlisle and Jake. Gurthiel let out a laugh as cold has a winter wind.

"Death Demons and Dancers never surrender nor treat. We do not submit! By the time we slaughter your army, you, Aro, will be dead! All but you Viviane," Gurthiel's gaze moved from Aro to Viviane; "You have betrayed those who have built the foundation on which you have built your principles and live on and for that I hope you live forever with that knowledge."

Viviane winced at Gurthiel's words, because in her heart, Viviane knew that she had indeed betrayed her people. Gurthiel turned her horse around and rode back to her army with myself, Carlisle and Jake behind her.

The Gatherer motioned Medusa over and instructed her to ride in the middle of the army on the front with one sister on the either end of the army. ((so they are spread out)) After Medusa relayed the message to her sisters, Gurthiel rode towards me and stop her horse along side mine.

"Remember our favorite game?" she asked with a wicked grin.

"Who's the better killer?"

Gurthiel nodded.

"Let's play"

She turned her horse and rode up and down the length of her troops. As she rode she yelled to her troops.

"FIGHT WITHOUT MERCY AND HOLD THE LINE! IF YOU FIND YOURSELF ALONE ON A DIRT ROAD WITH THE MISTS SURROUNDING YOU, DO NOT PANIC! BECAUSE YOU ARE ON ROUTE TO THE SUMMERLAND AND YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD!"

The troops laughed and Gurthiel reined her horse to stop next to mine. Her dark eyes were intently studying Aro's army as they busting into a war cry and made more noised by hitting their weapons together. Our own army took up a war cry of their own. During the war cry, which was deafening, Aro led the charge. The Gatherer pulled her sword from its scabbard and we charge as well. Just before the armies were about to meet, the noise of the clattering of weapons and armor silenced, and as the armies merged, sound returned. The final battle had begun. The battle that would determine if Gurthiel would live or Edward, but either way Edward was marked for Death.
