Fenris
With a heavy sigh, Fenris looked around carefully. It was a delicate balance he was striking here.
'This better work, or Hawke will be in great danger.' He mused. 'He has trusted me with this, I cannot let him down.'
Hawke had put Fenris in charge of the army at Yunkai and their plan was dependent on him gathering the army stationed at Yunkai, backed up with Blackwall and Isabela.
"Alright, we need be ready." He remarked quietly. "But we cannot empty the city, we don't know if there are any enemies hidden to attack this city when we leave."
Blackwall nodded. "True, but we cannot take too few with us; or we'll be unable to help Hawke."
Isabela grinned. "Come now; don't forget, we're all working together; we face a difficult challenge, but we will do this...because that's what we do."
Fenris almost smiled at that; clearly even this wasn't enough to shake Isabela's confidence. Nodding he turned and looked over the gathered army.
"They all depend on us, we must be ready...is everything?"
Isabela nodded. "Yes; we've taken precautions and Hawke's prepared a simple but effective trap to ensure the Red Templars cannot escape."
Nodding Fenris smiled. "Good; then, let's do this, it's time to begin the march."
Both Isabela and Blackwall nodded and together they joined up with their forces, ready to lead their army when the time came.
Fenris looked over the gathered army, all of them were armed and ready, various forces throughout Essos, all of them clearly prepared for the battle to come. Drawing his own two handed sword, he nodded, they all drew their weapons too, including Isabela and Blackwall.
Narrowing his eyes, Fenris announced. "This is it; our greatest battle yet approaches, when we get the signal, we advance and we will turn this battle around for our allies!"
There were cheers and Fenris looked up; seeing at that moment the fireball launched into the sky above Meereen.
'Hawke's signal.' He noted. "The signal, let us march...we will catch the enemy between us!"
With another hearty cheer, the army began to advance, Fenris, Blackwall and Isabela leading the way. As they began to march, preparing to leave the city, Isabela smiled at Fenris.
"Short but inspiring, typical of you Fenris." She commented. "But you were very powerful in that speech, you should try it more open."
Fenris rolled his eyes. "Enough jokes, we must focus on our mission."
Blackwall then spoke up. "It was your words that allow us that focus; we are more than capable now, thanks to you."
Fenris sighed. "Alright, now stay alert, we need to be ready in case anything happens."
They silently agreed and their march continued.
Sure enough, as Fenris suspected, things were not quite right as they advanced. Looking around in concern, he had a sneaking suspicion they were being watched.
"Fenris?" Blackwall queried, worried.
The Elf shook his head. "We're being watched, I know it..."
Isabela nodded, she too was wary, and it was worrying, they knew they were being watched, that they were in danger, but nothing seemed to happen.
"This isn't...wait." He whispered. "AMBUSH!"
Reacting to his yell the army rallied; just in time as at that point, the ambush force, consisting of Darkspawn suddenly emerged and charged them, thankfully they weren't completely hemmed in, but they still needed to quickly fight back, or that would soon change.
Fenris didn't even hesitate, activating the power of his Lyrium tattoos, and lunged forwards, scything through two Genlocks with ease. Isabela and Blackwall almost immediately were there two, cutting their their way through the attacking Darkspawn.
It was only shortly after that the army attacked too. Their clash was quick and brutal, a desperate struggle that Fenris knew served one purpose.
'They were at least somewhat prepared for us...trying to wear us down, reduce our strength.' Glowering he called out. "We can't waste time with this...we need to act now, while we still have full strength...some way to break them."
It was Blackwall who came up with the answer. "The Alphas, defeat them their 'chain of command' will be broken!"
"Well, I see three at least...trouble is, one's an Ogre." Isabela commented.
Fenris shook his head; it just had to that, didn't it, at least the other two were merely a Genlock Alpha and Hurlock Alpha.
Shaking his head, Fenris issued his orders. The army fought on desperately, actually pushing back the Darkspawn somewhat. Taking advantage of this, Fenris nodded to Blackwall and Isabela and they charged in, heading straight for the Alphas, cutting down any Darkspawn that got in their way.
Seeing their approach the Genlock and Hurlock Alpha roared and clashed blades with Fenris and Blackwall.
"Don't mind me!" Isabela taunted.
As she did so she darted past the Alphas, cutting through them with her daggers. The beasts shrieked; but at that moment, Fenris and Blackwall used their advantage and swiftly decapitated their foes. Already they could hear the shrieks from the Darkspawn and pressed their advantage.
With a roar of effort, utilizing his Lyrium tattoos again, Fenris phased through the Ogre Alpha, ripping his sword through it's heart and quickly rolled out of the way as he landed and it fell with a thunderous crash to the ground. The effect was immediate on the Darkspawn who soon fell into a panic.
"Now, slaughter as many as you can, before they flee!" He cried out.
They all cheered and began their attack, in the end, only a few stragglers made their escape. They had survived with only minimal losses.
Encouraged by their victory; they rallied again.
"Hurry, we must press on, or we'll be late for the attack!" Fenris warned them quickly.
They pressed on, marching for Meereen and sure enough, as they reached it, they could see the battle was raging on.
He raised his sword. "Now, onward, to victory!"
There were more cheers and they charged in, the Red Templars were taken by surprise, while the defenders rallied, clearly heartened by their arrival and the conflict began to turn.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
