Even the hairs stood up on Azurine's skin as Milo spoke to her. She rubbed her forearms and ran her fingers through her hair as she looked at Lunelra for a brief moment. She walked to the sliding glass doors that led out to Anthony's gardens and opened it slowly. She could hear the cries of the men being run through, explosions, and orders being yelled out. "Milo, what's going on out there?" she asked as if she was speaking to herself now.<br/><br/>She stepped outside and closed the door behind her. She turned her head to look behind and saw that Lunelra had pressed herself against the door she had just closed, watching her closely. She could smell the smoke from the hellfire below and the faint scent of blood. She looked above and saw Maddox's twin demons circling the barrier looking for her. She sighed for a moment. She couldn't avoid them forever nor could she ignore what was going on within the walls of the city below. She took a few more steps towards the edge of the barrier as she swallowed the lump in her throat. She observed the magic wall that the mages created for the inner city and she watched as the third wave of undead marched through the main street towards the battle. "Where the hell is Zion?" she asked Milo as she walked to the barrier's edge, the demons just above her waiting for her to leave her protective cover.<br/>-----------------------------------------------------<br/>Maddox stood outside as he watched his undead soldiers march by. He was growing infuriated at what was transpiring. He was running out of options as Zion had bested him at almost every turn. "Where the fuck is that girl!" he snarled, meaning Azurine as he paced with his hands behind his back, lit afire with a hot burning blaze that seemed almost white in color. He looked to Mirielle who was patiently standing within arms reach, terrified of the events that were transpiring. He snatched her by her left forearm and pulled her up against him. He peered down into her frightened eyes. "Call the dark elves. They have served me well. Bring them to the inner city through the passages beneath the castle" he said before he let her go. She nodded her head in agreement and scurried off, her gowns flowing gently behind her as she raced to the throne room where her advisors were waiting. "This is not the end Zion!" he snapped as he looked on at the carnage below.
