Tiamet: We do not own Forgotten Realms.
Jessi: Sorry about the big wait. It's the summer holidays and Wales got warm! And since I am a Welsh girl and am more used to rain and cold I lost all will to write. And because it's the summer holidays I was catching up on that rare resourse that all us teenagers lack. That's right SLEEP! However I look outside the window and I see RAIN! Yey! So now revitalised I can type again!
The archdevil was gaining ground too rapidly. Crimson snarled and turned her huge wings flashing red in the sunlight. Yami put her hand on Marwolaeth's hilt and Asgwrn slid a magical stave out of his bag of holding.
"Dante?" when the tiefling looked up the elven archmage tossed the stave to him, "Fly down and hide Dante. If he comes for you use this but please stay out of this fight."
"Father, just... just let him take me. I don't want people to die for me."
"Baalzebul might not give us a choice. I will not allow you to give yourself up Dante," Yami's eyes glittered. The warrior stood and made her way carefully to where Rhuthr was cling to the dragon. She mounted and, to Dante's shock, the ecalypse jumped from its perch. However the shadow creature did not fall but began galloping on thin air, much like the nightmare had done at the fortress. Asgrwn's cloak split into a pair of black feathered wings and he followed Yami.
"It might be best, if you were to land in the forest, little mammal. It will be harder to spot you there," Crimson's claws were flexing in her eagerness to do battle with the creature that destroyed her father.
Dante gave a resigned sigh as he glided towards the ground. It seemed that with his sickness he would always be on the sidelines. He looked over to where Crimson, Asgwrn and Yami were hovering in the sky, filled with a sudden desire to help them.
Baalzebul had drawn his sword. His face was twisted in an ugly snarl and in places his body was tinged blue with frostbite. Crimson streams of blood were seeping from his wounds, falling to the ground below like crimson rain.
Asgwrn attacked first, his electrum staff sending bolts of lightning towards the archdevil. The Lord of the Seventh shook it off like a wet dog. Blue sparks danced in his blonde mane, making it spread out of its own accord, adding to Baalzebul's wild apperance.
Crimson chanted her own spell, making the wind howl and push the archdevil back. Asgwrn would have been swept away too, had Yami not caught him as he went by.
But the spell did not last forever and soon Baalzebul was among them.
Rhuthr reared, attacking with misty talons while Yami threw a knife, aiming for where his wings met his back.
The archdevil roared as the knife settled in his ribs and swung his blade. Rhuthr, now incorpeal, leapt back but the tip of the sword cut a fine line across the shadow creature's chest. The magic of the sword was strong enough to harm Rhuthr even while he was incorpeal, rendering that ability useless.
Yami snarled and slashed again, only to have her blow parried and Baalzebul's counter nearly knock her from her steed's back.
Crimson breathed a stream of ice towards the archdevil, trying to disable his flight, but with a flap of his four purple wings the Lord of the Seventh dodged and used a spell.
Six beams of red light sprang from his hand, arcing outward before striking the half-silver dragoness in the chest. She shreiked and lost altitude briefly before charging, teeth bared, towards Baalzebul.
The archdevil laughed coldly as another of his spells headed for Crimson. This spell was a line of black fire that scored a direct hit on the dragoness' eyes. Screaming she began falling, her wings beating in a frantic attempt to stay in the air. The half-silver dragoness only succeeded in slowing her desent and she hit the ground, scattering trees in her wake.
Asgwrn frowned and unleashed one of his contingencies. White beams slammed into Baalzebul carrying him futher away before exploding violently. The elven archamge turned to his wife,
"Do you think you can hold him off on your own for a while," when she nodded he continued, "Because I have a plan."
Jessi: And now I must do something evil. Not only have I not updated for... weeks. Not only have I left you with a cliff hanger but now I must leave you all for ten days while I go to France. I am so very sorry!
