The Battle for Trinity Manor

[Tereal De Coreteze]

OOC: ok everyone here it is I wish for this thread to get pretty big, but please think realistically you may have powers but they are limited so no killing one thousand men with one magic attack this is a personal request thank you.

~Earlier that day.

Tereal arose from his tent stretching out his arms letting out a long yawn the early morning sun was still raising many of his men were already up and in full uniform Tereal finished his stretch he rotated his head popping his neck a few times, Belial was standing at the fire a rather robust man in white robes with silver armor under it his long white beard showing off his old age and Luca her long blonde hair flowing as the wind blew her too wearing silver armor and a rapier in her sheath she seemed so beautiful but it was not wise to get on her bad side she wouldn’t hesitate to fight a man or kill one. Tereal walked forward wearing a white robe with black stripes running down the middle where you would button the robe up if it had buttons, Tereal just had a simple white sash to warp around his waist and tight it together keeping the robe closed. He moved closer to the fire that still hadn’t died out from the night before Belial spoke in a low raspy tone,

“ The sun rises red a battle was fought last night.” Tereal looked to the sun it was red it was known to many warriors that if a red run rises in the morning a battle had just been fought that night and much blood was spilt, Tereal’s long black hair moved like a flowing river as he looked at the rising red sun the wind blowing he continued to watch the sight studying it as if it was talking to him telling him of the battle. Tereal closed his eyes slowly then rose to his feet he sighed deeply and reopened his eyes speaking softly and calmly never loosing his composure,

“ Assemble the men we set out for the Dark Forest of Trinity Manor.” With that one statement he disappears back into his tent for a few minutes only to re-emerge in full armor his Blade the Sakabatou in his left hand and his right hand at his mouth snapping on his mask ready for the final ride to the scene of the up coming battle, Tereal walked over to his horse as he mounted it he looked out at the men sitting a top there stallions the wind blowing make a howling sound that sent a tingle down his back he looked around at the camp that had been torn down and the Caravan that followed them already preparing to leave to the closest town.

~The Night of the Attack.

Tereal sat in a tent as the sun began to set the men outside preparing for the up coming battle Tereal had a letter in his hand it was addressed to the lord of the Manor of Trinity it was given to him by one of his subjects he said in due time it would explain all,

‘For nearly thirty years, your principal Ministers have destroyed and reversed all the ancient customs of thy land in order to raise your authority to its highest pitch . They no longer speak of the land and its constitution; they only speak of the Lord and of his royal pleasure. They have pushed your revenues and your expenses to unprecedented heights. They have raised you up to the sky in order, they say, to outshine the grandeur of all your predecessors; that is to say. In order to impoverish the whole of Trinity for the introduction of monstrous luxuries of court. Your ministers have been harsh, haughty, unjust, violent, of bad faith. They have recognized no other rule but to threaten, to crush, and to destroy all who resist them. They have rendered your name odious, and the whole Trinity nation intolerable to all our neighbors. They have kept none of our ancient allies because they only want slaves. They have caused almost twenty years of bloody wars.
Meanwhile, your people die of hunger. The cultivation of the soil is almost abandoned; all business enterprise is stagnant, and no longer offers employment to working men. All commerce is destroyed. Instead of taking money from these poor people, one should give them alms and feed them.
The people themselves, it should be said, who hitherto have loved you, are beginning to lose love, confidence, and even respect. Your victories and conquests no longer cause them to rejoice; they are full of bitterness and despair. Sedition is kindled little by little everywhere. They believe that you love only your authority and your glory.
There, Sire, is the land of things. You live as one whose eyes are fatally blinded.’ Tereal examined the letter closely he knew what this mission really was the people of the manor the Lords Subordinates had finally decided to rebel against him but as he emerged from the tent to see the sun glowing red setting behind the Dark forest that surrounded the Manor, Tereal gazed at the sight as the sun set a dark cloud hung over the Manor soon covering the sun and the field of battle Tereal knew this battle would soon change the life’s of many.

[Cynder]

Cynder finally came upon the camp. He saw hundreds of men preparing for the upcoming battle. The land and its people mean nothing to him he wanted to be hired if not by the Crimson Legion than the Manor, he needed money and was looking for someone to hire him. A soldier stopped him and asked him of his business. He replied crisply'' I am looking for hire, I would like to speak with head man here.''. The soldier gave a blank stare, then said '' that would be Tereal'' the man pointed to a man with long black hair staring in the distance. Cynder replied with a ''thank you'' then proceeded to talk with the man, Tereal.

''Hello, I would like to ask you if you need a soldier for hire?''

[Tereal De Coreteze]

As Tereal gazed on at the dark clouds looming above the Dark Forest as lightning struck down upon the earth, his eyes shifting to the side as he heard a voice speaking to him of a job to join the battle that is yet to come but soon will shock all those who are to fight in it.

" I can could all those who seek to help in this battle you're pay will be given at the end of the battle you will be paid along with my men." Tereal said in a calm tone turning to face the man an emotionless expression upon his face and a cold look in his eyes, he awaited the mans reply to what he had just spoken the man seemed cold in his own sense he was a warrior that would kill if needed this would be needed in this battle.

" If you agree to this to are hired the pay will be good no doubt in that." He spoke once again calmly never changing expressions and keeping his composure as he turned to face the forest the men of the Manor had been split into two army's those of the Lord and those of the People, If things went right the battle would belong to the people and the many Mercenary army's that had been gathered together here by the People and Nobles of the Land.

[Cynder]

Cynder shrugged.'' Fine by me''. Cynder turned and walked over to a campfire and sat on a log. He relaxed and simply started to wait for the upcoming battle. After a few minutes he raised checked his sword and thought ''a big battle huh?. It was more out of his style of fights but he needed money and he was ready to do what he needed to do. He realized that he may need to be prepared of having more than one goon attacking him at once. So he laid back and tryed to think of something he could use for multiple enemies.

[Tereal De Coreteze]

Tereal turned his head toward the camp fire made by his many he moved over to them the sun still setting the light barley breaking through as the clouds keep covering the sky, Tereal walks passing the camp fire entering his tent to dawn his armor taking his time to make sure every thing fit perfect as he moved over to a small chest in full armor he moved down to open it. The chest revealing a torn and tattered Scarf like vestment Tereals hands picking up the scarf with care treating it as if it would fall apart at any moment, The scarf once belong to his father and he thought in his own mind it protected him in battle now draping the scarf around his neck snapping on his mask he emerged from his tent ready for battle.

As he moved on of the tents curtains he looks out across the encampment seeing hundreds upon thousands of men some from the Trinity Manor Liberation forces other's with other Mercenary forces all in battle armor ready for the long night of fighting, Tereal moved over to a a few men speaking into his ear and soon leaving to round up all the men to mount there stallions and move to the hill were they would descend into the forest to take the Manor back from it's now corrupt Lord and bring it back to it's people.

" If you wish i can get you a stallion to ride till we reach the battle field you can then dismount and move from there." Tereal said looking at the man as he stood by him looking at the fire as the rest of the thousand man Calvary unit of the Crimson Legion approached.

[Auroth]

Auroth stood quietly in there camp, his insects cloaking his presence as he quietly moved through the camp. He moved like a shadow through the camp.....hiding himself from the eyes of the men. After all, he was hiding in the shadows...and his insects only blackened out the bright colors which might have given his position up. Earlier today, he was approached by a few men to which told Auroth that they'd give him valuable money to spy upon the Camp. Quickly he took all this in, and mentally told a insect all of this info. This bug was a new type of insect....known as a Speaker bug. It was like a parakeet though, only reciting what it heard. Regardless, he told this bug to go meet with the clients...and told them all he knew....With that, his job was done, and he walked casually into camp, his insects flying around him like a magnet.

The soldiers looked back, and moved back briefly.....they were amazed by him....him and his insect powers. Regardless, he wanted to speak to Tereal...to get a job with the Legion.....

"Where are you Tereal" Auroth said quietly to himself, as he arranged his glasses. "I need money now...After all, money makes the world go round and round...."

[Vidan]

Behind Tereal stood Vidan, his body blending perfectly with the darkness via his dark blue coat. Quickly he placed his hands at his side....placing his energy in them as he stared down the enemy forces. Their certainly are many of them....but Vidan would just have to cut them down. Recently, he was approached by some man who had wanted to hire Vidan for some obscure task....probably wanting him to participate in a battle. Well, here he was...facing down a huge enemy force. Regardless, he quickly drew up a large Number of ice darts on his hands.....focusing his energy as he quickly moved toward the force.

He turned back and stared at his leader, Tereal...for the okay to go and attack the enemies...Regardless, as he waited...a few ice orbs began to appear and stared to hover above Vidan's head......as if preparing for attack....

[Tereal De Coreteze]

Tereal heard the horn blow the sign of war was comming as the enemy forces emerged from the Dark forest the watch man on the top of a wooden tower beside the gate blew the horn a few more times, The men rushing out of the gate all in formation all in there armor they had waited long enought for this battle and it had finally come there fate would coninute here or end here. Tereal's eyes moved around as the men rushed out widly but his men many who were welled trained at some point in time of there life sat a top there stallions waiting for the motion to move out toward the battle field, Tereal looked down at Cynder who he had just hired to assist in battle Tereal glanced at one of his men riding over with two hares the on he was mounted on a a spare one. Terea motioned for Cynder to get on it before he mounted his stallion and rode off heading toward the battle field he was to be second in command next to the Trinity Knight Alphonse the Grand Commander for this battle, Tereal felt a familiar presence in the camp as they rode out throught the gates he moved a bit of his air from his shoulder revealing the pretty good sized bug sitting on his should it was one of Auroth's bugs he whispred to the bug to find his master and lead him to where Tereal would be on the top of the hill over looking the Battle field.

" To day we take Trinity Manor back fo the People of the Land!" Alphonse yelled as they reached the hill looking down at the forces still emerging from the forest draped in all black armor spots of dark red blood on the the chest plate, skulls covered in fresh blood resting on the shoulder plates spikes pericing the blood white skulls. The Army of the Lord who wasnt in sight any where but the Army was very intemadating to the men many holding strong showing no fear others taking steps back at the sight of the unholy men, Tereal then turned his attention to Vidan who he had met a few days before the battle on the way here he seemed egar to enter battle but it was not time yet they couldn't rush into the battle blindly he simpely shook his head and turned his attention to the amassed army ahead of them.

[Cynder]

It was time, it was night Cynder's favorite time of day. He saw a man walking over to tereal with two horses. After a moment Tereal motioned Cynder to mount on the horse. Cynder sighed and climbed on the horse, it was black he liked that, Cynder looked into the distance and saw the approaching enemy forces they were pouring out of the gate clad in armor ready for the fight. Cynder noded to Kinght Alphonse and then Tereal. He was feeling good since he was about to kill and since it was night his powers seemed to come to him more naturally. Cynder held out his hand and closed his eyes, out of the darkness a few small knives fell into his hands, they were completely black and good for throwing, but after little useage the knives will dissolve back into the darkness.

well Im ready......

[Derkai]

Derkai's heart started throbbing when he heard the enemy cries he thought to himself that he would have to prepare for at least 2 or 3 coming at him at one time he checked his weapons and he even made a little miniature fireball to make sure his magic was not failing him he then got in the mindset of battle he got the thought that he shall be ruthless and pity no one he would kill anything and everything that got in his way for this he was ready for the battle that awaited him and he was ready now more than ever he looked at the man on the black horse the one with silver hair he looked very focused and ready he then looked at Tereal he also looked very focused and Derkai could rely on him in battle for he could lead soldie's well the noises now grew louder louder than ever and Derkai unsheathed his sword and dagger and waited for the enemy...

[Tereal De Coreteze]

Tereal’s head moved about a bit as the Unholy Army continued to emerge from the Dark forest the moon was shinning slightly in between the clouds of darkness that had perversely emerged from the forest it’s self, Tereal took another look at Auroths bug and moved his head telling him to go now and find his master to join the battle and he would be compensated greatly the bug flew off heading back to the camp a bit odd but he was to focused on the battle a head to pay any attention to it. The Unholy Army finally stopped but more torches could be seen with in the forest suggesting the forces stretched well into the forest, Tereal drew his Blade from it’s sheath as did the others Alphonse looked at Tereal and he returned the gesture they nodded in unison. Tereal and Alphonse both kicked the sides of there stallions bolting forward fallowed by the massive Calvary (people on horses) the Infantry waiting a while before following as not to get trampled by the Calvary’s thundering hooves, The Unholy Army in return let out a loud war cry that struck fear in many of the men the sound thundered even over the sound on the hooves of the Calvary the sound carrying passed the battle field and could be heard for a few miles the sounds of Unholy warriors ready for a blood bath.

Tereal continued the charge never flinching at the sound but it did unnerve him a bit as to the massive sound but he did not falter he kept the charge up his men and others continued as well the hooves still beating as they reached the front line many of the horses jumping of it and cashing behind as they came down the horses crushing Unholy soldiers under there hooves, Tereal swung his blade about cutting off one warriors head then sending his blade into another’s chest he rose his left hand snapping his fingers as red sparks emerged from his fist and shot out heading into the forest only to have four small explosions to erupt on the battle field sending branches body’s and dirt into the air lighting up the forest for a few seconds but leaving a hole and a fire in each spot.

“ Do not let up we fight till we take the Manor, this is for the people we fight for the land we shall not fail. You’re comrades may fall in battle but know that our cause is Justified and there soul will be laid to rest for this great deed.” Alphonse yelled out rallying the men as the Infantry clashed into the lines as well coming face to face with the Unholy men of the Manors Lord.

[Auroth]

Auroth soon looked up a bit, seeing as few soldiers begin to surround him. They obviously were afraid of him and his freakish abilities....Sure, this was a world filled with magic....but insects? Who'd ever heard of that as a power. Regardless, he quietly pushed his glasses up a bit, letting them hide his pupils behind the purple lens of his eyes. His cloak seemed to move greatly in the wind, as the cold air soon filled the battle field. Quickly he placed his hand on his sword, as he let his insects begin to mass upon his other arm. His cool red eyes darted back and forth between the warriors and soldiers....reading their mind as he slowly looked over one of them.

It seemed the battle had begun...and Auroth had a job to fulfill. No, he wasn't going to fight against Tereal's army....but instead would help it...as per the outline of his task. This time, he was hired to go and kill as many demons, warriors etc of the unholy army as he could. For he was hired by what was a emotionally driven women who seemed to lost her husband/father/brother or something to the army. Auroth really didn't care....but instead just wanted to get the pay for doing so. To show he'd kill them he'd take their emblems and present them to the girl...showing how many warriors he killed. This job was primarily a revenge task.....as the women was practically crying over herself as she asked Auroth to do this job.

Regardless, he just shrugged these thoughts off as he calmly began to walk away....letting the wind whip against him this fine night. The pay for the job was great, as the client was a noble of some sort. Regardless, he quietly levitated into the air....the wind flapping against him as noises began to emerge from the forests. Suddenly, in a great swarm, the insects of the forest came out...in a huge and giant wave that further blacked the sky as though God had sent out the Locusts of the Apocalypse. Regardless, the bugs were not fighting for Auroth...but for their homes. The Unholy Army had corrupted the woods...turning the once tranquil life into a living hell for the bugs...

But now was their time to get back their home....and drive the infestation of darkness away.

With silence Auroth took out his spear and sword combonation....his body against the moon as the sky became littered with insects. They soon descended upon the unholy warriors of the manor, biting and attacking in a fury of darkness. Auroth noticed, as he walked in the woods, the pain of the insects...and how they were in pain due to the unholiness that was here. So, as any great merchant would do, he manipulated it to his own ends....He got the bugs to join up with him...and how they were bashing down against the unholy army....killing as Tereal's men charged in with chaos and fury.

Auroth soon smiled darkly a bit...as he drew out his weapons and prepared for the fight....for Auroth had one trump card up his sleeve in case the bugs didn't work...one trump card which has been in the forest all this time...

Regardless, he quickly slammed down against a Unholy Warrior, standing right next to Tereal as he killed the man out right. His left arm, the one with the spear and insects, stabbed into the heart of one man. Then quickly his insects spread around....attacking the nearby warriors and distracting them...so that Auroth could chop them down. His insects soon left his body and went to retrieve the Emblems.....returning them to its master as he continued the slaughter...

"Sometimes.....jobs are too easy" Auroth said with a slight grin as finished off one man....

[Cynder]

Cynder, Tereal and the rest of the Calvary where in the thick of a bloody battle against the unholy army. Cynder rode his horde straight threw a group of men throwing his dark knives at them as he went along. No matter where you were blood was hitting you from all directions as the men fought on. Cynder adreniline was flowing like never before, he was enjoying the slaying until a sudden shock of fear struck him as he realized one of the men had just cut his horse, the horse fell face foward and Cynder was thrown off as a result.

He landed about ten feet from his now dead horse. He quickly rose to his feet as unholy soldiers surround him. He formed his dark matter sword, and withdrew his real blade.
A soldier dashed at him swinging wildly, Cynder waited for his moment, and it came. The soldier vertically slashed at him, Cynder took his dark sword and sliced at the soldier. The unholy soldiers head fell to the ground as Cynder brought his blade back to himself to prepare for the next attack. Three soldiers attacked at once, Cynder blocked the first one's blade with his own sword and stabbed him with the dark sword, he turned back to the other two soldiers. The second and third soldier both swung there swords at him at the same time. Cynder dashed out of the way of one of the blades, while the other unholy soldiers blade fell into his sIde. Cynder growled as he felt an intesne wave of pain. Cynder fell and quickly stabbed the third soldier's legs, the soldier fell to the ground screaming while the second soldier swung his sword at Cynder again.

Cynder blocked the attack with his dark matter blade, he gritted his teeth as he fought to hold his blade against the enemies. The dark sword seemed to blinck as Cynder came to the realization that he had use it to much. The blade finally disappeared as the enemies blade fell straight down. Cynder barely rolled out of the way in time as the soldiers sword smashed against the land where he once layed. He got to his feet and stabbed the soldier as quick as he could. Cynder looked around him to see more soldiers staring him back. Cynder held out his hand and grasped for breath as five small dark matter orbs appeared on his fingers. He was pushed back as the first orbs shot away from his hand, while more orbs constantly shot from his hand. The orbs smashed into soldiers as Cynder moved his hand across the crowd of men.

Cynder dashed back to a group of Crimson Legion soldiers and awaited more enemies to come........

[Tereal De Coreteze]

Tereal brought his blade down digging it into a warriors neck moving down all the way to the other side of his chest before removing his blade quickly spinning it in his hand as he shoved it backward stabbing into another warriors chest who had to jump and slash at Tereal a top his horse, Tereal looked around at the blood bath men falling in battle both of the Unholy Army and his Allies he looked about for Alphonse who was not in sight but before he could finish his thought he heard a familiar voice that could only belong to Auroth who was beside him in battle his insects devouring men. Tereal laughed a bit as he sent his left hand up snapping his fingers sending the sparks flying into a few groups of men engulfing them in flames he then brought his blade down into a warriors head splitting it in half, Tereal moved his horse around in a circle seeing Cynder had taken some damage he rushed over to him and his men stopping in front of them sending a wall of flames up into the air that incinerated the Unholy warriors. Tereal looked over Cynder a bit seeing the wound in his side he examined it a bit closer as the wall of flames began to dissipate,

“ Get healed quickly and come back.” Tereal told him motioning his head to a small group of healers standing in formation a few feet away from the battle a few soldiers were already there getting healed others who were not to fortunate and laid on there death beds, Tereal said nothing more but charged forward as the flames were gone and rushed head strong into the fray once again sending his blade into many warriors bodies as he charged leaving a small space that was quickly covered back up by people fighting. The battle had so far been one of Epic proportions men falling around you almost every few seconds but neither side showing signs of giving up both still fighting full force but in reality the Coalition (Crimson Legion and the others) was loosing men at an alarming rate but still they fought with courage never holding back, Tereal then spotted it Alphonse falling off his horse as the Unholy men covered him like wolves on a raw peace of meat as other began to see this many had lost there nerve to fight the courage of the men fell many beginning to fall back to the camp. Tereal frowned as he saw the men running back RETREATING! The first strike had failed and left them with nor real leader Tereal shook his head as he sent his blade into a warriors neck blood spewing into the air covering his mask and helm, he gritted his teeth as much as he wanted to move on and continue the battle he knew his men alone would not be able to continue on he glanced over at some men who were still fighting strong but in vain. Tereal rose his blade into the air,

“ RETREAT BACK TO THE CAMP RE-GROUP, GET THE WOUNDED OUT OF HERE LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND RETREAT!” Tereal yelled as he moved his blade down after seeing that most had seen him or at least heard his announcement as much as he hated to leave it was for the better and the judgment was a right one, Tereal him self began to retreat as most of the man had began to flee he soon rode off making his way back to the camp followed by the rest of the Crimson Legion men a defeat on there first strike but the lost of Alphonse was a great one and they need time to choose a new leader and re-group there men for the next strike.
