* After several days of writers block and the persistent pushing of my dear
friend Skullfire, I have finally finished another chapter for all of you
out there! ^^ *
Chapter 37
Siege
The sorceress stood at the walls, overlooking the scene below her. Things were not going too well, but she knew her plan could have been better. "Mrs. Leonhart?" a soldier began. Rinoa turned around to face the soldier and she smiled weakly. "Several survivors have been brought inside our fortress. Some of the citizens couldn't make it to the gates." he explained in a sad tone, "The enemy monsters slaughtered them before our eyes and before we could send out help." Rinoa sighed and dismissed the Esthar soldier. She had been here for only two weeks, and just a few days ago the monsters attacked FH. Twelve lion-like leaders led them and they were intelligent enough to direct their armies to attack FH from all sides. Though many citizens had died over the past few days, she had managed to come up with a plan to bring any last survivors in. They were at the number of sixteen thousand Esthar soldiers and about an estimate of five thousand citizens out of seven thousand and thirty-six. She had no tears to cry for the innocent fallen people, she had to stay firm, she had to bring hope to the helpless around her. But now after she heard about the extinction of every living soul in Balamb she had broken into tears. There went the hope that kept her going, she thought that if Squall came with Garden to FH, they would have a fighting chance, but now she didn't know what else to do but lead the innocent lives. It was only yesterday when Rinoa got hold of the terrible news from Esthar Intelligence. every major city except for Timber and Esthar had been left decimated. Timber had no chance at all now, without reinforcements or any help, she was sure that mankind had walked up to the doorstep of extinction. Suddenly Rinoa's thoughts were brought back to reality when she heard explosives near the front entrance of FH. She ran through several bridges until she came upon the most terrible sight. Several sea dragons had begun pounding upon the iron doors. Rinoa then smelled the residue of after magic.not good, they must be using a water spell attack to help them propel much more given strength, she thought. Rinoa knew that she was a sorceress, but without any junctions. It would be impossible for her to cast a thunder spell or a slow spell upon the serpents, but she had to try.
Rinoa closed her eyes and blocked out the shouting and screams of people all around. She concentrated at each booming hit.she suddenly felt herself open up, felt the tremendous force of the planet course through her veins and into her chest, her heart. Her ebony hair whipped furiously as the wind picked up speed; the people around had stopped to notice their SeeD leader in a trance of some sorts. Rinoa had no idea where the power came from, but she couldn't stand there trying to figure it all out. She opened her eyes and looked at the creatures before her, then at the twelve leaders watching her.
Molokai sat tense watching the human with curiosity. He sensed a great magic around the female...she was conjuring something.but theoretically it was impossible without the junction of a GF. "Araki!" Molokai shouted to his youngest brother. An all white wildcat walked up to his hierarch general, "Yes dear brother?" Molokai looked into the red eyes of Araki and ordered, "Scan that woman up there." Araki's feline ruby eyes swerved calmly up to the woman who had her eyes closed. He cast the spell and everything froze as Araki looked at the humans' data.
Name: Sorceress Rinoa
HP: 9999 Power: Hyne Magik Weaknesses: none Junction: none
Araki growled at the information, which caught Molokai's direct attention. "What?" he asked. "That woman is a sorceress, just like our Empress. She has no weaknesses, no junction, but uses Hyne Magik." Araki said in a firm low- level voice with growls in between his words. "Hyne Magik." Molokai snickered, "Order the serpents to attack swifter and harder!" He shouted arrogantly. The serpents increased their speed at their masters command and eagerly.
Rinoa had her eyes opened now, the power that she was wielding was unexplainable, but what was there to explain when she was a sorceress with powers combined by three others? Her attention was brought back when the rhythmic sounds of the iron doors picked up speed. Then she remembered her SeeD training, water is vulnerable to lightning. "Thundaga!" her voice echoed from the walls as the air electrified intensely. Then out of no where several minor lightning bolts began to travel inward across the waters surface, gaining energy to combine into one thick and electrifying kill. As the attack struck the water and seeped into the lower depths where the uncertain serpents were, Molokai growled with shock and ire. Several seconds of calm passed until an ear-shattering explosion rocked the earth. Seawater erupted like a volcano, leaving several dead bodies of the sea creatures. Rinoa stumbled back, feeling drained. Several hands caught a hold of her and inquired if she was all right. Rinoa nodded and smiled at the people around her cheering. One of the soldiers next to her said, "It's not over yet." "I know." She replied. * * *
Blade, Gwena, Van and their new addition to the group, named Antonia, stood watch from afar the spectacle of their enemy's grand army. Just a while back on their way here, they passed through the remains of Timber. Only shattered, vacant walls of once beautiful buildings stood, while smoke from the inferno curled around the debris and dead. Now here they stood all leveled up, after intense training in the forests, ready to help out and fight against the horror before them. Everyone's weapons were upgraded to the max; Blade had a sword called Windsurf, Gwena had her double whip called Doubletrix, Van had his state of the art ultimate weapon, Ultimo gun gloves, while Antonia had Miasma, a new state of the art boomerang blade. Now here they stood watching and thinking of how to get across the big blue. "Blade, we should get some rest over there on the outskirts of that forest. The chocobo's look really worn out, it would be good for them to rest too. We should be able to move out tomorrow at dawn." Gwena explained. "All right, let's go." Blade answered after glancing at the drooping heads of the chocobo's. They had been riding hard to get here.
