Artosh, the god of war strongest of the strongest no one on the planet can hope to match his might, the only one who came close was the dragon known as Hartyleif the armageddon. In his boredom, he created beings known as the Flugel warrior women who were meant to be Artoshs swords to kill the other races. The first of these Flugel was Azriel the first unit and was basically the 2nd in command to artosh acting as a commander to the other Flugel who would be born later in the war. Azriel was made to be perfect a being of unimaginable power and unquestioning loyalty if Artosh ordered her to die she would happily kill herself for her lord. Though she thought nothing of this at the time this thinking would lead to the downfall of both of the Flugel and her lord.
Over 12 thousand years ago….
Azriel sat in the phantasm known as Avant Heim the 2nd strongest race on the planet only behind the Gods themselves, phantasms were known to basically be their own worlds so, for example, it may be raining outside but inside a phantasm, it would be sunny. The Flugel were getting ready for War a phantasm dare lay in front of their path and Artosh ordered it eliminated being the sword of Artosh the Flugel obeyed their lord and went to battle, ignoring the realms of physics they teleported to the open sky. In the distance explosions and energy beams could be seen flashing into the sky some Flugel was already engaged with the phantasm.
Though the Flugel were strong they were still facing a being only weaker to the old Deus many of the flugel were injured or dead however, the Azriel from the past is different from the one we know today. While most leaders would see the damage and pull back with a dead hollow stare Azriel ordered the flugel to fight on after all Artosh ordered the phantasm to die and Azriel would sacrifice every one of them to fulfill that goal.
Suddenly Spirits began to rise as the air crackled with energy the phantasm growing tired of what amounted to flies buzzing around him began his ultimate attack… the air shook with energy so much in fact that if it was any race weaker than the Flugel they would probably pass out god forbid a human. So the attack came a beam of pure energy any flugel who were caught by the beam of energy was killed instantly. A brave flugel charged the phantasm gathering all her magical energy and spirits she had left in her body and begun to cast her Heavenly Smite the ultimate attack of the Flugel that could wipe islands and cities off the map. The Mass of purple energy slammed into the phantasm who was tired from using its ultimate attack however unfortunately for the flugel after casting such an attack they reverted into a smaller form and the brave flugel was struck down.
Azriel noticed something in the phantasm its core was open, the core of a phantasm is similar to the ether of old Deus the core holds them in place anchors them to the realm of the living if you could strike down the core you could kill the phantasm. Azriel ordered Raphael to come with her as they both charged the Phantasm, the Phantasm sensing the danger shot frantically at the two approaching flugel a beam shot forward towards Azriel however, before it could hit Azriel grabbed Raphael and used her as a shield the beam tore Raphaels wing and as Raphael cried out and tumbled towards the ground blacking out from the pain she could hear Azriel state.
"Your usefulness for Lord Artosh has come to an end."
Raphael hit the ground knocked out, as Azriel continued the charge forward dodging all the remaining shots she raised her scythe, and faster than the human thought she brought it down upon the phantasm striking its core and destroying it killing the phantasm. Out of the 100 flugel who came, 50 were heavily injured with 30 dead or dying. Though a heavy loss for the flugel the deaths don't matter if Artosh himself ordered it.
The flugel who had light injuries carried the ones who couldn't move by themselves as they returned to Avant Heim and their lord. Even though the flugel lost 30 of their sisters it was still an outstanding victory in their eyes as they all crowded around the unconscious Raphael, you see even though Azriel was the one to kill the phantasm she told her sisters that Raphaele killed the phantasm and lost her wing in the process. Why did Azriel do this who knows maybe she felt bad for her actions but Flugel do not feel bad she was only doing her mission so these thoughts confused her but non then less she went to the throne room of her lord and knelt to give the report.
"Azriel.. Report" his voice even if soft rattled Azriel's skull
Kneeling below her lord she explained the report
"The Battle was a resounding success, my lord! We killed that foolish phantasm and only lost 30 of our own 50 are injured and will need healing"
Another voice spoke up the Phantasm that the Flugel and Artosh reside said
"Is yond very much a success?"
"We has't hath lost 70 p'rcent of our f'rces"
Artosh thought about this
"Azriel he is correct though a success we still lost 70% of our forces in battle more sisters shall be made in the future but for now you remain small in numbers losing that many of us is a crippling blow i do not want happening again is that understood?
"Yes my Lord"
Azriel quickly left the throne room but as soon as she left she trembled with anger how could she be so stupid she thought in anger next time I won't disappoint Artosh I swear it upon my life
And so the war continued on the earth scorched in combat as the skies turned red and the ground was drenched in blood Avant Heim and the flugel rained down destruction on anyone who dared oppose them.
