Magic, It's Real
'Spells
Town - Sirius side
Sirius looks athe the loose formation of cavalry charging at them and snorts, thinking, 'Dear old mum could make a better charge than this shit, fucking horrible.' Sirius isn't wrong for thinking that, afterall the bandits have the numbers advantage and they have horses to charge on. Even to bigots this would be pretty stupid, charging even a poor sheild wall not in a proper formation, yet people who do this for a living? Ridiculous.
About one hundred feet out Sirius raises his wand and mutters, "Framea Umbra" Then before anyone knows what's happening the lead horse's head spurts with blood, the rider screams and clutches at his stomach not realising his horse is going down, there he is trampled to death by his comrades.
Sirius looks at the men and says, "Get ready men, they're nearly here and here is where they'll stay, or are you gonna let them get to your wives and daughters!?" There's just a resounding roar of "NO!" Sirius just smiles.
Fifty five feet approximately, that's when Sirius decides to cast again. Sirius looks at the path in front of them, only partially cobbled, one could say it's just a smattering of rocks, Sirius would say it's a smattering of projectiles and shrapnel. Sirius aims his wand just in front of the lead three horsemen, says just loud enough for the men to hear, "Confringo" The three horsemen and their horses are killed by the shrapnel of the rocks being blasted up combined with the blast from the hex, three seconds later Sirius quickly incants, "Depulso" sending the shrapnel back into the other horsemen and horses causing some to veer off into buildings killing the riders on impact and knocking out the horses, getting rid of five threats.
Ten feet and closing Sirius yells out simply, "BRACE!"
This was it, the most important part of the battle Sirius would see, if his line stood, they would win, if it fell they're all dead. Horses crash against spear and shield, the line looks like it's going to collapse, the men hold steady and start jabbing spears into horse or man, it doesn't matter which to them. Sirius bellows, "SWORDS FORWARD, SPEARS BACK! AIM FOR THE RIDERS AND THOSE UNHORSED!" Like a wave Sirius and the swords push forward, pleasantly surprised to see no horse with men on it still standing, they could however see bandits getting back up, Sirius yells, "TOGETHER PUSH FORWARD AND KILL 'EM ALL" That's just what they do, a wave of swordsmen sweeping forward, with Sirius in the middle, to engage their enemy.
Sirius doesn't stop moving, training once forgotten comes to the forefront of his mind, parry left then a quick hard slash across the throat, block then bash with his shield fast jab with the sword to the throat. Deflecting sword blow, a man to Sirius' right cuts the bandit down, Sirius returns the favour, he parries a blow that would have taken his comrades head then with a hard slash decapitates the bandit. Sirius looks towards where the bandits were coming from, surprised to see that there are no more, then he looks around, he's no longer surprised. He sees corpses, none of them his men thankfully, he quickly says, "Anyone hurt? Badly that is, a scratch doesn't count, if you can't swing a sword or use a spear, say now, because we're going back to the Hall to meet up with Vern and Athen." No one says anything, Sirius just nods and they jog back, they can see the other men coming back, they seem to be missing maybe five people, it's hard to see from this distance. Sirius smailes about to say something when all of a sudden there's a scream, not from anyone outside however, Sirius pales and runs toward the Hall's doors only to hear a bellowed, "BOMBARDA MAXIMA"
Interlude
Looking down on the planet, a man with many faces can be seen looking concerned, his followers are fine, bit weird sure but fine nonetheless, it's these new people, the ones that feel of magic. He knows magic well, how could he not? For thousands of years people used magic to cause wanton destruction and with destruction comes the one inevitable, Death. Both of these mages reek of it, as though touched by it, especially the smaller one. Magic and Death, they go hand in hand, certainly here, did the Valyrions of old not sacrifice slaves in hopes to stave him off? Did they not hope that the magic granted to them by Him would secure their dominance as much as their dragons did? No, it did not but these two, they are different. Their Magic is stronger than the Dragon Lords ever were.
Death didn't want to cause The Doom you see, the scorcerers were getting too greedy however, believing themselves above Death, they learnt oh yes, they learnt. The Doom however had an unexpected side effect, Death didn't account for one thing, the volcanoes. When the ritual failed, it exploded, causing a chain reaction of explosions. Oh they would have been fine, had they not had their most powerful magic users at the peak of the volcano. It caused the entire continent to be ashed, what's worse, the ash was all toxic from their potions and magic infused sacrifices. He never relished in Death, not that anyone believes that anyway, he doesn't have to, everyone comes to him one day.
The day of Doom however was horrible, to the mortals he is Death and he is, however he wasn't always just Death. No for thousands of years he was Magic and now ironically enough, Magic is nearly dead here, thanks to him. Now however, now it can be saved, Magic after all just needs a spark and these two are far more than a spark, they're a raging inferno. Death will however need to look at the small one closer, he is touched by Death after all, that can never be good.
A/N: bit late, just didn't have an idea on what to do for the last 2 weeks. I don't expect that many people will like the battle, I don't however have much experience writing them so any tips would be appreciated Framea Umbra is a made up spell, just used english to latin google translate. There will be a section that will be updated with each spell used. Events in this story will be different to books/show obviously, I might not even use the White Walkers and Harry and Sirius will go to Essos, that won't change.
