He stepped out into the city, up until now he hadn't really thought about what the city would have looked like. He didn't have much time to think of it as soldiers were rushing through the new formed gap in the wall, huts were on fire, people were dying, and rocks were flying through the sky. He took a moment in silence to wish this hadn't been happening, these were good people. There was almost a piece of him  that he was upset that he would likely never see the walls of this city with them being breached. It was the sound of another rock crashing that brought him back to the horrid reality of the situation. People were screaming, some in fear, others in pain, even a few shouting orders to the guards. Brutus strongly doubted this town had an army, they were peaceful and independent, it wasn't in their nature to wage war. Things were going to go south.<br/><br/>Elair made their motives on the subject clear, and fast too. He couldn't really argue with them even if he wanted to. He watched as these men ruthlessly took life after life in the distance, every now he'd see a limb cut off, a person screaming because someone in their family was dead. Even though it was night, it wasn't hard to see the red. Although there was hardly a blanket of snow on the ground, that blanket was beginning to turn from white to red pretty fast. It was suddenly then that she displayed her power, much stronger than he considered himself in some aspects, though he didn't often deal much with vortexes. He charged forward, deciding that if she could keep this wall sealed, the fight wasn't over. If he could take out the stragglers already in the wall, there might still be hope. They could rebuild the walls, make this city whole again.<br/><br/>He ran forward, willing the snow to aid him, turning to ice, it tripped several soldiers into the ground, and ice formed around them. Hypothermia wasn't a great way to die, and Brutus didn't want to have to do that to them, but it was what had gotten them down and out fastest. A pillar of ice formed from the ground, though it stood only a few feet tall, he willed the pillar to turn into shards of ice and they flew with great velocity, piercing metal armor and flesh, making more soldiers fall to the wounds of battle. He noticed a woman being cornered by a man, he took care to run over and stab the attacker in the back before ushering her out of the way. The more people that could escape, the better.<br/><br/>He was doing very well with taking out stragglers when he heard the scream of pain. He watched her yank an arrow right out of her hand, no hesitation, not even a hint of worry. He wasn't sure what was more terrifying, her or the army. One thing was for sure, the wall was no longer fully covered, as the vortex had stopped. And to double the horific nature of that, a moment later there was a second hole from another catapult rock. Men started flooding in from both holes in the wall now. They just seemed endless.
