Chapter 6: A Battle begins
"Today is it." Link thought to himself as he and he Atlee walked among an army. "Today is the day I've spent so much preparation for. It will be the first battle I'll assist in this war." Link couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He had never fount in a war alongside an army. He was used to doing the fighting on his own. He looked beside him at Aryll. She looked so brave and yet her silence suggested fear.
"We make camp here." Paige shouted as she got off her gray Atlee. Everyone started to rush around setting up tents while others sat and rested for a bit.
It was now night and the moon lit up the sky. Half of the army slept while the other stayed awake to keep guard. No chances were to be taken and they must always be ready. The war was constantly buzzing in Link's head. He looked at his sleeping sister in a tent. She looked so innocent. Regret began to form in his head. He didn't regret coming here but he did regret allowing his sister to come. She has never seen death, how would she react to this war. He then looked at Paige who stood up straight looking into the trees that surrounded them without showing a bit of fear. "She doesn't seem the slightest bit scared. How can she keep her sanity like this?" Link thought to himself. Link quickly grew tired of the silence and decided to break it.
"So where is our destination again?"
Paige glanced at Link then back into the forest. "We are going to the city of Lata.
Link didn't like how she spoke to him by looking into the woods instead of at him. To him it seemed as if she was talking to a tree rather than him. "Where is Lata at?"
"Lata is a city in Cidvac. We are hoping to capture it and expand our border. I only hope that our other armies succeed in getting our captured cities back."
"What happens if we fail?"
"We won't fail." Paige was annoyed by that last question and she decided their conversation was over by walking to a different post to keep watch.
When the morning came the army packed up everything and headed toward Lata. They arrived on the outskirts of Lata and prepared for the raid. Paige quickly prepped everyone as the got their weaponry together. "Alright people." Paige said as she paced back and fourth looking at the army. "We're going to have to use the environment against them. Archers will be in the trees. We'll move in unnoticed and attack all at once catching them off guard. Remember this is war, show no mercy." Aryll was one of the archers so she would be up in a tree and hopefully safer up there. Link and Paige were ground troops. The archers climbed the trees all according to plan and the rest quietly closed in one the enemy. Once they were close enough Paige gave the signal to attack and a bloody war was waged. The entire army rushed into the city killing all who were Cidvacan who were easily identified by their brown attire. Link ran through slicing heads off people and stabbing others. Aryll sat in a tree shooting arrows. She shot at the enemies of those in need. As she was scanning the ground she saw that Link was having a hard time with one guy. She pulled the arrow back, aimed, and the arrow flew right into his chest. She smiled happily with her aim. Paige fought by using her sword and shield as a weapon. She would use her sword to fight and if that didn't kill fast enough she would hit her opponent with her shield. As Link was fighting he found it wasn't that hard but that's mainly because he known how to handle a sword since he was young and he saved his homeland with it but one enemy did pose a little problem for him. The enemy was hacking wilding at Link and his moves where hard to predict. Link managed to block all of his attacks with his shield but he needed to think of something because he wouldn't be able to block forever. As he was blocking an arrow went right into his shoulder and his attacks became weaker and he fell to his knees. Link looked back to see that it was Aryll shot the arrow. Link smiled at his sister then his smile faded, as he looked at the man still alive with the arrow in his. Link decided to be humane and put him out his misery by stabbing him through the heart with his sword. "Fall back!" was what Link could her in the distance. It was Paige's voice he could recognize it anywhere. Link then looked at the clashing armies. He had been so focused in staying alive he failed to notice that the Mirphyte numbers were diminishing. He and the army began to retreat but were stopped as the ground began to rumble. Link looked to see a large army emerge from the forest ridding Atlees. They carried a blue and yellow flag with the Mirphyte symbol and were clad in green. The Mirphyte army cheered as this new army emerged to help them. They defeated the Cidvac army with ease.
Author's Note: I want everyone to be brutal with the reviews on this chapter so I can hopefully become better at writing battle scenes. This is actually my first battle scene I have ever written as you might have noticed. I am getting very behind on posting these chapters. I mean I have ten already written and I only have 6 posted. I am so lazy.
