Maddox is manipulating you, Azurnine, and I promised I would protect you. I won't fail again!"</b> Milo said, before looking towards the Fae. There was a sense of familiarity between the two and it would be visible on Milo's face, clear as daylight, a sense of lost. Milo would look outside, as he saw the two demons, before growling. <b>"Maddox's reach spreads far and it is quickly becoming a nuisance...." </b>He said, before looking at Azurnine. He would then walk over towards her and grab her shoulder, looking her directly in the eye. "<b>I can keep Maddox's influence from taking over, and add my strength to yours, but only for a moment- Don't worry, your will is still your own, but think of me as a....guiding hand." </b>He said.<br/>
<br/>
He would then press his body to hers, before his body would literally....fade inside of her. Soon, her senses would feel feline like, and her abilities would feel like they were skyrocketing. She would then hear a voice.<i> "<b>Just keep your head down....there's two of us in here now."</b></i></span><br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>The glare from the warrior in front of the Undead Commander would be menacing. Lightning would flash ahead, and for a moment, the spirits inside would be visible. Zion's blade would clash. The being of light would take over his body as it merged with that of the demon of fire, wrath and light conjoining into one, forming an<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fcdna.artstation.com%2Fp%2Fassets%2Fimages%2Fimages%2F000%2F175%2F596%2Flarge%2Fpeter-zhou-20140610-4.jpg%3F1443931845&amp;hash=8405a728e78f6e3027ca8f7b023bd6eb" href="https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/175/596/large/peter-zhou-20140610-4.jpg?1443931845" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Undying Rage.</a>The Light of Neema and the Darkness of Maddox formed into one shell. It was impossible for him to exist- One who walked in Maddox's Shadow to now bear Neema's Light, without emerging unchanged. He stood before the Undead Commander as their blades met. It was different from the one he had fought before- this one held a portion of Maddox's power, and just like his undead, they would be his!<br/><br/>Their blades clashed, and Zion seemed to be getting the upper hand, slamming the Undead Commander's Large sword into the ground. He would glare towards him as Zion spoke. "<b>You will serve the Lord of Light!"<br/>

Drawing the sword out of the ground, it would approach him, and slam his foot on Zion's chest, knocking the air out of him. It would look towards him, as it saw the helmet cracked, before asking. "<b>Who are you, Servant of Neema? How did you learn our Master's Art....." </b>He would then shake his head, as darkness surrounded it's grasp. "<b>It doesn't matter.

His gaze was great and powerful, as he glared down towards the Undead, knowing Maddox saw him. He had no reason to hide anymore- Now was the time to take it all back. "<b>As long as I still have breath in my body......as long as I remember my purpose, my reason for living.....My fate is my own, Maddox!" </b>Zion said, before grabbing the Undead's head, as his eyes would glow. The Light and Burning Rage inside of Zion ate and purified the shadows living inside the undead, releasing Maddox's hold.<br/><br/><i>"<b>Suffer me!"</b></i><br/><br/>Zion watched it's eyes turn blue as Maddox's hold over the creature broke, before it would kneel before Zion. Zion would walk into the ruins of the streets, as he saw the countless dead, before he would glare in Maddox's direction. "<b>You taught me everything I know, Maddox.....have you never the foresight, for when your greatest servant would turn against his master, due to your betrayal?" </b>He said, before holding his arms out as light began flowing from him.<br/><br/><i><b>"<u>Arise.</u>" </b></i><a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fimages7.alphacoders.com%2F353%2Fthumb-1920-353813.jpg&amp;hash=edc766ee9ae2352b655843125ac1b063" href="https://images7.alphacoders.com/353/thumb-1920-353813.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Undead Guards</a>would begin rising from the ground, ready to fight for a new master.<br/><br/><i><b>"<u>Serve me.</u>" </b></i><a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fbrigandyne.files.wordpress.com%2F2016%2F07%2Ftemplar_diviners.jpg&amp;hash=8ef3466ed4351845e0dece0647be1278" href="https://brigandyne.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/templar_diviners.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Mages</a>killed during the fighting would be rising<br/><br/><i><b>"<u>Obey.</u>"  </b></i>The dragon, killed by the Elemental, would shift and bend, returning to life in a<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F74%2Fdb%2F7d%2F74db7d8472088a718650015a3a5b3fa8.jpg&amp;hash=6085f243bc301d80da63f2965c23f5d1" href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/74/db/7d/74db7d8472088a718650015a3a5b3fa8.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">new form</a>.<br/><br/>Zion would lower his hands as he would look towards Maddox's direction, before holding out his hands. "<b>Feel my fury made manifest, Maddox- just as you stole from me, ripped my parents apart, twisted my homeland, and left me for death, watch I as destroy everything you have built and ruin countless years of manipulation and planning.

Disgusting- They were leaving the Middle and Outer cities virtually defenseless. Zion would stand atop the Middle City wall, the only thing protecting Mirielle and Maddox the Inner City Wall, as he would look towards the forces below, who finally saw the face of their emperor. Zion knew he had to say something, but when he did, it didn't feel like his own voice.....he felt as if he had another guiding him.<br/><br/>"<b>We have taken the Outer City of Tekatus, but it is still not ours!" </b>He yelled, pointing his blade towards the army of Tekatus still standing. "<b>The Inner walls still stand, and soldiers are coming, ready to butcher the lot of us! But we will not die under their rule! We do not serve the Traitor Queen and her Dark God!  We shall sally forth, banners aloft and hearts full of righteous fury, and take this land for our own!" </b>He said, hearing the cries of war from the soldiers below. "<b>You fight for the Empire! You fight for the Lord of Light!" </b>He said, before holding up his hand, as lighting struck it, before using it's power to crush the gates with burning force.<br/><br/>"<b>Charge!"</b><br/><br/>The first wave was won by the Empire, but the Battle for Tekatus had only just begun.<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>
