<strong>Antonius-archangel</strong><br/><strong>tagged:</strong>Zefiriel, angelic host<br/><br/>At her request for extra assistance Antonius responded, "There will ever be at least four angels nearby the two just in case but as I said you are assigned to the area and have been for several generations, you can be close to them and not be out of place. All you need be is eyes when it comes to physical demands call on the others for that."<br/><br/>Nodding to her leaving once she is out the door he leaves himself, motioning for one of the sentries, "Go to my generals tell them to assemble on the parade grounds we leave soon." With a sharp salute the angel takes off with haste. Returning to his study Antonius grabs a few scrolls, they held the rosters of his army as well as the specialities of each member these he would need for proper placement once down on Krum. Battle horns could be heard sounding, summoning his men to the field.<br/><br/>While the grounds were built just below his balcony he did not feel right simply speaking to his men from there, it was impersonal and detached. As he stepped to the balcony the last of his men were taking formation. As he placed his hands on the railing a new horn rang out it held a distinct peel to it that designated Antonius's horn used to annouce his arrival. The field could be seen snapping to attention and saluting.<br/><br/>"Be at ease my brothers and sisters!" There was a slight sihft in the body's demenour but the formations still held tight. "We have been all been given a great task this day," as he finished that sentence he leapted off the balcony and began to fly over his troops, near enough to see each face. "Hell has requested to assualt a human city to try and capture thier souls, we have been charged to counter them. You may not interact with the humans themselves unless absolutely necessary, but as for the demons... let the blood flow!" This illicitted a short burst of hoots and cheers. "We travel to the human land of Krum where we shall establish a base and from there I will instruct your commanders further and they shall pass it on to you." Returning to the front of the assembly he draws his blade of the archangel thrusting it into the sky all recite the short creed of the battalion, "Contego sanctus vita!" Two things happened then, the army gave a final snap to attention and salute before lifting off and Antonius's armor flared like the sun.<br/><br/>Gauntlets that were once smooth and a dull base metal gray were now gold with many sharp edges, the fingertips now tapered to a point like claws, each plate segment cover his fingers changed elongating a little creating points at the end of each, the plate that covered the top of his hand grew points as well over each knuckle. The forearm plates became thicker and grew ridges that also came to a point but the most defining part was below the elbow, the new ridge grew out past it becoming a four inch spike. While the rest of the arms and torso had no physical changes the color did change from the gauntlets started a burst of gold which flowed up the arms and onto the torso, however, once it had reached the pauldrons it seemed to fade but it was only that a pattern started to appear, that of thorn vines arching and swirling and crossing under and over themselves. The boots had changed to much in the same manner as the gauntlets, the toe became pointed each plate segment elongating to more pronounced edges, the shin plates thickened one ridge going straight up the center to cover the knee and creating another spike at the knee. The same gold patterns on teh arms ran up the rest of the legs all converging in the torso. His helmet changed too, the opening that once allowed other to see his mouth closed now all that could be seen were his eyes. The golden vines traced all over the helmet too, the plume ridge became more ornate with the vine designs rising off the surface of the metal, the brow piece to grew and the vines popped from its surface as well. The brow piece grew points much like other pieces but these were thicker and more blunt and it then ran all the way around the head appearing as a crown almost. The plume ridge sprouted hairs long and sturdy as though starched to stand up right (think roman centurian for plume ref.) The hairs were a deep red almost burgandy color. Plates too appeared across the tops of his wings as protection for the great muscles beneath.<br/><br/>He joined his army taking the lead and descending to Earth and the small land of Krum.
