"<b>Arashi didn't want me to tell you this, she feared it would interfere with her plan of getting you free, but thing's have been accelerated.....I doubt there is a harm." </b>He said, before pointing in the direction of Zion. "<b>The Zion you know? You've met him before, and burned him alive- That is Zion Aoiros, your father's predecessor, the best Dark Mage of this Kingdom when he was alive, and Vengeful Revenant of Arashi and Neema.....He is here to take this city, Azurnine. We cannot charge in, he doesn't know who you are! If he learns, who knows what will happen?!" </b>He told her. The Spirit was afraid that Maddox would throw her at Zion like cannon fodder, to weaken him and allow Maddox to finish him off himself.</span><br/><br/>~~~~~~<br/><br/>As the Dark Elves marched to the walls, to defend the Inner City with their superior archery, there would be a.....horn blown? Marching into the square would be the entire Order of Paladins for the city.

The Barrier would begin to fall as the fighting spilled out inside. Oscar himself would plant a flag near the gates, not flying with the flag of the All-Maker, but the flag of.....<br/><br/>Impossible. Neema, Arashi, and Maddox would be able to see the symbol, but it was IMPOSSIBLE for it to be there!<br/><br/>That was<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn3.iconfinder.com%2Fdata%2Ficons%2Fsmashicons-symbols-2-outline%2F60%2F25_-Knowledge-_symbols_sign_symbolism-512.png&amp;hash=14fb4a06dc5d68a031bca66636518083" href="https://cdn3.iconfinder.com/data/icons/smashicons-symbols-2-outline/60/25_-Knowledge-_symbols_sign_symbolism-512.png" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Lithaniel's symbol!</a><br/><br/>~~~~~~<br/><br/>Zion watched the barrier fall, but would begin climbing atop a bell-tower, instead of charging forth. There were archers in the tower, but Zion didn't kill them....immediately. He cut through them and left them bleeding on the ground. Zion felt the familiar call in their blood- The Energy of life that flew out of them was one of Maddox's most valued resources. But harnessing that resource? Maddox only shared with his most loyal. Zion would stab the sword he had into the stone, as he glared towards the castle, before raising his hands out, calling upon the familiar power within the lives of those dying around them. To him, they were his enemy, unworthy of the energy used to sustain their bodies, but that energy could be used for better purposes.<br/><br/>Zion felt the power grow, as he used those dying around him as a sacrifice of blood, compensating for the power missing from his spells, as he lifted up a hand towards the Inner City.

THIS was the power that Zion had when he served under Maddox, and Zion felt the familiar comfort that came with using the Dark Arts- The feeling of safety and security within the darkness was an addiction Zion was all too familiar with, and unknownst to him, it brought him closer to the Dark Master of Destruction himself. Zion's best techniques were oriented with the Darker Arts, he was no trained warrior of light, despite his goddesses blessing, thus giving Maddox and him and undeniable connection.<br/><br/>Powerful it make Zion, it was also dangerous- Maddox was a shameless coward who would do anything to have the advantage.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="27" data-username="@Synn" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/27/">@Synn</a>
