(A/n: I think from now on I will do chapters of one person's fight. (A.k.a. Alanna's fight, Kel's fight…) but they are all on the same day unless I say otherwise.)
Raoul darted in to try to stab the Serpent's underbelly. It shrieked and swooped two of its head down, attempting to kill him. He hastily moved away, trying to think of how to bring down the evil creature. This time, there was no Rikash to help him. No inkblot to help him. No Badger god to help him. He once again charged in, feinting a jab to the thing's stomach, but instead raced behind it and tried to slash it open from the angle. No such luck. One of the thing's heads surveyed its rear, and was immediately harassing the Knight Commander. Raoul wiped sweat from his brow and sent up a plea to the gods. He assumed they would help him, considering that Uosae was their problem.
*Look around you* hissed a voice in his mind. It made him cry out. That voice was not meant to be heard by human ears. It sounded like a hundred hounds, baying the sound of the hunt, and their mistress goading them on. (a/n: I know the goddess is REALLY guiding Alanna, but its crucial that Raoul heard her)
Raoul hurriedly looked around, as he was bid. A part of him kept a wary lookout on the serpent. He could see the Blue glow that was Jon, the black cloud that was Numair, and lances of purple that Alanna hurled at the enemy. He even saw a bear fighting alongside a Tortallan knight. Something about Alanna made him look back at her. Though he could barely see her, he somehow made out the expression on her face. A sudden power filled him. *Use the power that I have given her. She gives it to you* the Goddess's voice urged.
"She must have the hand of the goddess on her," he mused.
Raoul turned and yelled, quickly moving in and stabbing the serpent. It lurched at hissed. Its blood sprayed him, and burned where it landed. Raoul dislodged his blade and thrust it back in and across the serpent's belly. It let out a howl and collapsed, making the ground shake. As soon as it stopped writhing, it dissolved.
Raoul drew himself up triumphantly, and heard shouts and clangs of metal-on-metal ahead of him. He turned to see his troops thoroughly beating the enemy. Nodding with approval, something compelled him to look across the battlefield again. He looked just in time to see a Tusaine knight Approach Kel. (He could tell her apart at this distance because Peachblossom stood out)
Raoul clenched his hands nervously as he saw, almost in slow-motion, Kel by attacked from behind by the Tusaine knight. Surprised, she turned and tried to parry his thrust. Peachblossom saved her. He kicked out with his from hooves, laming the enemy's mount. This gave Kel the opportunity the kill her adversary.
With a sigh of relief, Raoul nudged his steed into a trot and joined his men. He sought out Dom and tallied their casualties.
"Better'n we could've hoped," the sergeant said with a reckless grin. A Scanran foot soldier snuck up behind him. Raoul cut him down.
"Let's--" A brilliant flash of blue light cut him off. They looked for Jon across the field, and saw the blue hue of his gift flicker, and dim.
