Akira looked over towards Reggetar, "Very nice to meet you Reggetar." she nodded her head to the person who was previously refferred to as 'spy' which did seem in the least bit condescending- she knew that for sure. Her right ear twitched slightly, unless one knew Akira it would be unreadable so the one whom it was most likely aimed at was Darius. The twitching of the right ear meant she was uncomfortable, the left ear was that there was trouble. She wondered if Darius had picked up on such things though Darius seemed to always pick up on the small things, she could almost depend on it actually.
Jouta looked up at Akira with wide eyes for just a moment before looking back at everyone else for a quick glance, feeling the presense of all the different people he buried his face in the black fabric of Akira's cloak, obviously he was fairly shy around new people he only managed to be so outspoken earlier because he had just been kidnapped, now he was over it and back to normal.

Reggetar gave a crappy solute in Akrias direction. He truly hated being called the wrong name and things of the like. It was kinda funny to see how Lorien reacted to people mad at him… Kinda funny. Like a little kid being scolded… It was probably mean but Reggetar wanted to laugh this though. He suppressed the laugh. It was probably inappropriate right now.

Darius' ears twitched as Akira said theose words, and he came to his feet, purposly ignoring the newcomer and the quarrel coming about.
"Sounds like a challenge to me, Akira. I say we go to get your little tattoo removed, before the regimen gets us." Darius said as he pointed northward.
"There is a knight regimen six score feet with fifty-score soldiers. I could feel the rumbling when I was sitting. Which of you all can fight, and I mean fight well." Darius asked as he interrupted himself. "There's only one rule in fighting, don't get near me." He added seriously.
Darius neglected his armor, it would only slow him down, he kept with his shirtless and pantsed attire as he brought Darkfire out of the ground. It burst in a flash of black mist. Darius' eyes flashed white and started misting black as well, his hair rose a little from his aura or energy. He looked over at Akira.
"Akira, you can join or stay and tend to your son, neither matters to me. It is your decision." Darius stated as he turned and barred Darkfire's point into the ground, he was going to perform a Buster attack n the frontline. White fire soon laden his blade's face as black mist arose from the fiery peaks every now and then. Darius shifted his feet.
"Everyone...CHARGE!" He yelled as he ran forward, the blade's tip digging into the ground deeper and deeper.

Akira looked down at Jouta, she wanted to go with the others but she couldn't just leave her son here unnattended. Her nose twitched and she looked behind her in a flash of movement that was nearly impossible to follow until she stopped, her gaze fixed upon a two tailed cat that walked towards the group, "Akira! You're impossible to track, you know that?" It spoke in a smooth tone and her green eyes flashed with magic. The cat's fur was glistening black in the light and she had a sly smirk on her face.
"Sorry Solstice, I'm afraid I might have to ask a favor of you." She said to the cat who now rolled her eyes at Akira.
"Sure, what is it?" Solstice asked her eyes now looked over the people in the group, a raven flitted down before landing upon her back, it's black eyes dull from death. Solsice was a nekomata or demon cat.
"I need you to watch my son for me." she said as she looked down at the boy with a sad smile, of course she didn't want to leave Jouta again but she couldn't let everyone just leave her there. Then again she probably wouldn't be of much help during the battle, the curse mark hindering her, unless of course they weren't armies commanded by the same ruler as the last- then she'd be okay. Nonetheless she'd be going to the battle, as always she enjoyed the rush from the clashing metal and falling enemies it was just now sometimes she wasn't given the chance to choose her enemies.
"I'll watch your children as well as your childrens children, such a task as guardianship would be an honor for such a friend as you." Solstice said with a bow.
"Wait! I'm gonna be left with a cat?" he asked nobody in particular, obviously confused.
"Solstice, keep him out of trouble, okay?" she asked with a laugh, Solstice nodded and Akira kissed Jouta on the forehead before going to follow Darius and the others.

"A nice challenge, but we should first issue a challenge to them, and give them chance to retreat," Lorien added blithely, swinging his lance out once in readiness. It made a low whistle in the still air, and he handled it with daunting speed. After all, though the regiment would undoubtedly insist on a fight, chivalry should always be observed.
"Akira, Reggetar, will you be joining, then?" A talking cat? Akira had many small wonders around her, and her friends. Dragons, talking animals; he was seeing the full extent of magic with these people that he had committed himself to.

Reggetar grabbed his dagger and vaulted into the saddle. He took what Darius had said about not getting near him in battle quite seriously. After earlier, he would avoid him like the plague. Zephyr took to the skies. She didn’t go high and mostly stayed only a few feet from the ground tossing the soldiers left and right. Reggetar took his dagger, now clearly seen as a slightly wavy silver blade and what looked like dragon scales at the handle. From the handle there was an ornamental ‘dragon wing’ and claws. Below the handle there was a dragon head in its mouth a ball. One might expect him to be using it to maybe slice heads off the opposing forces or some thing of the like. But instead from the blade arced blue waves of electricity. They hit the unsuspecting soldiers often knocking them clean off their feet. Reggetar was still careful to know where Darius was. He was staying as far from him as posiable.

"FORGET MERCY! THEY SHOW NO ONE ELSE SUCH FAVOR!" Darius yelled as he rushed in and through the soldiers their blades grazing him as he neared the middle. In bloodlust he yelled in a demonic tone as he flew up into the air, a trail of white flames following him into the air as the soldiers near the pillar were incinerated. Darius stopped in the air as he came back down, his point driven tot he ground from the sky.
"MAELTHRA VIR'EDNITH!" He yelled again as he hit the ground and a sphere of white flames erupted from his landing, incinerating soldiers in a ten foot radius. Darius swung Darkfire over his head and buried the point into the ground as soldiers surrounded him. He smiled as he widened his stance. His fists came out and his muscles surged with energy. He breathed in as his front foot went forward and a loud thud resonated on the ground, a cloud of dirt flowing from the contact point. His fists shook and his eyes went wild.
"DRATHIR LU' ELEMMIIRE STYLE!" Darius yelled as his voice turned demonic.
Knights then converged upon Darius the moment he ended. Darius rpse above the crowd and grabbed a knight by his helmet as he swung the knight around like a mace, knicking away foes. Darius caught a sword arm and broke it as he tookt he sword and shoved it through another knight. A knight caught Darius in the chin, and Darius let the force push him back as he grabbed up Darkfire and swung the blade, an instant impulse of energy sending knights sprawling backwards, like dominoes. Darius laughed maniacally as the blade burst into black mist.
He swung the blade with great force as kngihts went backwards from the sheer energy, Darius was now in a lonely circle, kngiht distancing around him to about ten feet.
Awww, they want to be at a long distance, eh? I can fix that quite easily. He thought to himself as he brought his fingers up to his mouth and whistled. THe kngihts looked bewildered, until a shaking filled the ground.
Off int he distance a very large black figure was flying toward them all, and a deafening roar filled the sky as black fire shot straight and true, incinerating ten kngihts away from Darius. A bow of black material sailed through the sky as did a quiver as Darius cuaght them and notched an arrow to the bow quickly, taking out a knight. He notched three arrows on the bow, taking out three, then five, then six, then seven. Darius smiled as he was out of arrows. The kngihts then decided to move in onto him. Darius simply rose his hand as he disappeared...or so they thought. The black figure was a gigantic dragon that sailed the skies as Darius was on top. They kept going up and up as Darius stood up on Shadowsong, the clouds wisping around him. He then winked to Shadowsong, who, as well as a dragon could, smiled. See you on the ground, brother. Darius communicated. I shall see you as well, brother. Shadowsong communicated back.
Back on the ground, the kgiths looked strangely for that damn drow. Sure, their comrades were getting killed by other people as well, but that drow was worth much more to them...a tooth was worth almost enough gold to build a kingdom.
Darius saluted Shadowsong as he fell off the dragon's back, Darkfire's point was bared toward the ground as Darius darted through the air like a needle. His entire body was soon engulfed in white fire as the sword made a deafening sound of perfect harmonics. Darius, inside the white fire, smiled dangerously.
HE twisted Darkfire in the air as black mist suddenly trailed from behind him, it looked as though oblivion was falling through the sky. A large boom sounded from Darius' speed, he had broken the sound barrier while he came down, and as though time had just stopped, Darkfire's point hit the ground. THe earth around the point seemed to create a wave as the ground rolled as though made of jelly, then ground start chipping off near the point of Darkfire. Darius' attack had made an earthquake, and the kngihts stumbled onto the ground as giant rocks erupted from the top soil, breaking bones and breaking them in half. Reality came back as Darius went through thr ground, and the kngihts around him were gone. A giant crater lay where he landed, Darius standing in the middle, biting his fingernails. He had a hang-nail. He HATED hang-nails...
Shadowsong landed with a thud by the crater as he, like a lazy dragon, sat and watched the rest of the knights get slaughtered by people other than Darius.

"It gives us no right to lower ourselves to their level, however," Lorien commented, though he ran out as well. With an arching leap into the sky he soared over a group of the rouges, yelling, "Watch out, men, if you value your lives!" The men did indeed watch out and looked up gruffly with swords raised. An arrow or two glanced harmlessly off of Lorien's armor as he muttered a few words. His lance tip shone a bright, summersky blue as he plummeted downwards, and it slid into a man's helm like a hot knife into butter. A hurricane of the the blue light spread outwards from the corpse in a vortex fashion, taking off chunks of armor and heads alike to the fifty-some around.
"You fought well," he murmured to the parts of his enemies as he ran on, his lance whipping and striking like a snake into the weak spots of the opposition's defenses.

Akira dashed into battle, looking behind her for only a moment as she gripped her hands, in her clean hand the Ame appeared, the dark red gashes in the handles glowed with horrible power and the Ketsuiki appeared it's appearance nearly mirroring that of the Ame only it was with light blue engravings instead of the red. It also had a feeling of serenity in it as it's dull blade glinted in the light. The Ketsuiki was the opposite of the Ame, it was placid and smooth in combat while the Ame was a blaze of fury with pinprick precise movements placed with unsurpassed accuracy.
The Ame stuck a soldier, Akira kicking the now dead corpse from her blade with her foot as she moved on to the next opponent, fire bursting in quick flurries from her feet as she hurried through combat. Her body hunched over to dodge an a sword that whistled inches away from her body as she followed through with the Ketsuiki, her body flowed upwards as she twisted so her arm flailed outwards the weapon tight in her grip as it stuck into the opponent- not deadly, atleast not yet. A sheet of ice exploded from the tip of the weapon to form a sheild parallel to Akira's body that sliced through the soldier with ease the flesh would have slid from the ice if it wasn't for the tip of the Ketsuiki holding it in place. She her presence sliced through the battle as she continued unhindered by anything in her path as the line of corpses grew longer as she progressed.

If anyone had cared to look, they would have noticed a man on the other side of the army. He wore simple, black clothes without sleeves. There was also a sort of cape, that extended down from his waist. A shining blue dagger hung from his hip, and a long sword on his back. Strangest of all, his eyes were covered with a white blindfold. He stood silent for a moment, cape thrown back by the wind. Then he dived into action.
Sion raced forward, with incredible speed and grace that had taken years to master. He quickly whipped his dagger out as he entered the mass of bodies. The first soldier didn't even hear him coming, his footsteps made no sound. The dagger entered his chest silently, already Sion had identified his next target. He swung over the dagger, spining his body round it and delivering a powerful kick. It, was strong, gracefull and fast. Not fast enough though, Sion thought, as the soldier screamed. It was time to kick it up a gear. He pressed his feet against the first soldier, who still had the dagger pressed through him. Sion pushed off, pulling out the dagger and landing atop another foe. A quick slash, and Sion was the only thing above that mans shoulders. The shock was worn off now, and the soldiers in the back had organized an attack on Sion. Spear!From the right! Sion rolled to the side, Incoming sword! He blocked the blow, holding the attack in place while he gathered his energies. Sion pushed his left hand against the mans chest, and whispered a strange word. A blue light zipped through his body, and the soldier behind him. Sion ducked down to dodge another attack, and sweep kicked his foe. He sheathed the dagger and drew his long sword, it bore the name Celestial on it's edge. Give me an axe and I can kill a man, He raised the blade above his head, then dived back into the fray. But give me a sword.. He whirled the blade from side to side, each strike brought another man to his knees. And I can slay an army.
As Sion fought through the soldiers in a flurry of powerful strikes, he passed a woman. It was only for a split second, as she was fighting through towards the other side. She's strong. He could sense it with ease, even in the short time that he'd seen her. But... Something's wrong...

Akira payed no attention to the stranger that she passed as she continued through the army, person after person, an incoming weapon caught against the Ketsuiki as the Ame sliced off the soldier's hand at the wrist, her arm bending around to send the sword skyward with the flick of her wrist so that the pommel of it crashed down on yet another soldier who collapsed to the ground. Her eyes flickered still with the rush of the battle especially at the sight of a mage which pleased her at the thought- a dark mage in an army, especially a relatively small one like this. She jumped skyward jumping towards the mage, her feet landing atop the heads of the soldiers as she ran, launching herself off one and sending him to the ground. As she came down fire laced around her and the mage looked up in amazement, not the mage she was looking for but one nonetheless and she was sure this army wasn't looking to cause peace anywhere. A thin yet strong sheild formed around her opponent and as Akira landed atop it she felt shocks like electricity surge through her and she pushed away from it giving an exhasperated sigh as she did so.

Sion leapt up and kicked off a mans chest, launching himself high into the air. He arced his body gracefully in the air, he scanned the battle field. Not with his eyes, but with the enchantment in his necklace. Noticing Akira's 'struggle' with the mage, he tilted his body slightly, then dissapeared in a flash of light. He telported inside the mages shield, spun backwards bringing the back of his foot to the mages knees and brought the wizard to the floor. He lost his focus, and the shield was gone, but so was Sion. He teleported once more, behind Akira. "The kill is yours." He said to her, facing the other way. Akira had cleared some space here, It's a good place to make a stand. Sion thought, taking up a fighting stance.

"Thanks." she said as she darted foreward with alarming speed as she approached the mage she smirked, the tip of the Ame glinted as Akira's hand shook. Not from being nervous, on the contrary it was the spirit within the Ame contacting Akira and informing her of something. She stuck the sharp tip of the weapon into the mage as she dropped the Ketsuiki on the ground as she gripped the Ame with both hands as a massive shockwave burst forth from it sending what looked like mangled organs and body parts over the feild of battle.

Sion darted to the left, dodging a blow, then he performed his own with more success. He knelt down and blocked a blow, another soldier approached him and stab forward with his spear. Sion swung out his other hand, protecting himself with magic. A blue aura floated round the spear, holding it in place. A third soldier dived forward, sword extended towards Sion's heart. This just isn't my day.., Sion thought, twisiting his body to protect all major parts. The blow didn't land though, the dagger had slipped itself out of it's sheath and stabbed the third man, all on it's own. Taking advantage of the men's suprise, Sion slipped his sword round the first attackers hilt. He twisted the blade and sent it straight into the spear guy's head.
