Senix had no idea who Balien was maybe it was the fact that he was drunk or just plain forgot. He ignored the man for sometime until the he said. "What has happened to you my old friend? You were once so proper and now you are a drunken fool." This statement was indeed true, Senix used to be a real gentleman and everything but that was long ago before the incident happened. His hand then turned into a fist as the man left. Hallik then came by wondering where the hell he and Nykael were. Senix scoffed at Hallik's remark.
"Least we got here alright!" Senix slammed his fist on the bar table not pleased. "I mean fucken hell I can't even have a peaceful drink without someone pissing me off!" The horn was heard yet again. "God damn that is getting on my fucken nerves." he muttered picking himself up and walking to the door with his mug of ale. "So they have the damn nerve to come to this town? Well they chose the wrong fucken day!" He then kicked the tavern door off its hinges and walked outside seeing the soldiers in the far distance about to enter the town. Senix then started to walk down to the main entrance of Delten and yelled "Hey assholes..."

"Senix!" called Hallik as he wobbled to the front door. Senix ignored him. A behemoth just left before him. Hallik cringed at the sight of him but could smell something familiar about him. Hallik grabbed Nykael before he could take a sip from his drink and trudged out the front door.
"Hey!" barked Senix, "Assholes!"
Hallik came up behind Senix, Nykael close behind. "Are you in-!" Hallik looked down at his hand. "You're drunk!" Hallik swiped the mug from his hand and tossed it down to the ground. "Nykael get everyone out of Delten we'll catch up."
Nykael nodded and ran off like the wind. "Senix... Get your daggers ready"
Looking at the troops before them he noticed that this was a much bigger one than the one he saw in Adalance, the kingdom town where Adalante's castle was. "We're going to need some help... Go!"
hallik rushed towards the oncoming troops and started socking random troops with his fist.

Richard:

This was the second day in Delten for Richard and his partner Balien. Balien was at the bar while Richard was doing what he usually does, flirt with women. "My friend told me to come and meet you, he said that you are a really nice person. I think you know him. God, yeah, that's his name." He was making a move on a female wolf. He leaned against the wall and smiled at the lady. Unfortunately the woman walked off stating she was married. In return Richard replied, "Aww come on baby i got blessing of protection." By now the woman was gone and Richard pouted. A horn was heard and Richard in return was confused. "Who blows a horn at this time of the day?" Richards partner soon came out of the tavern and approached him. "Say do you know whats going on? I just heard a--" The horn then went off again and Richard looked in the direction it came from seeing a march of soldiers. Then a figure kicked the tavern door open and began walking toward the brigade of soldiers hearing him yell.
"Hey Assholes!" Another figure then came out and approached the man taking his mug and throwing it on the ground.
"Are you in- Your drunk! We're going to need some help... Go!" Richard heard them and walked to them motioning Balien to follow.
"Heh, well if you need some help we can be of help perhaps." He then scratched the back of his head nervously as he then saw one run and charged the army. Apparently Richard was ignored as he let out a sigh. "Yeah...looks like they are going to need some help Balien."

Balian heard Richard's sigh and replied "Agreed.. Let's Go." Balian then let a deep thundering roar as he pulled out his war mace Judgement, and his Shield, Righteousness. He began to charge into the swarm of Aviak troops that stood before him. Balien's charge took out two troops instantly as his gigantic body crushed into their fragile armor. He fought his way up to Hallik and yelled "Looks like you boys needed some help." Balian then shattered a Aviak troop with Judgement, while blocking a attack from another Aviak. "The Order has deemed this genocide wicked. Richard and I have been sent to help you in your time of need." Balian hacked and mangled, killing as many Aviaks as he could. One troop, however, managed to pierce Balian's hide, jabbing his spear into Balian's flank. Balian yelled "Richard a litle help would be nice!"

Senix:

"Drunk! You kidding me?! I feel fine!" Senix stumbled a bit then looked down on the ground where his mug is.
""Senix..." Senix just put out a hand and looked away. "Get your daggers ready" Hallik rushed towards the oncoming troops and started socking random troops with his fist. Senix just shook his head unamused ignoring the priest as he took out his bow and loaded two arrows. He then took aim and released the string as two arrows whistled down the street nailing two Aviaks, one in the head and the other in the neck. "Ah shit, little off on that one." he muttered as he loaded his bow again and fired yet again.

Saladin blew his black war-horn to muster his troops to attention. He addressed his regiment, The Black Legion, a group of Avioks whose soul purpose was to kill all that Adalante saw fit. Saladin walked down the lines of troops and said "My brave Black Legion, destroy the enemies of our great king!" His men let out a might cheer. "Let us crush these puny mammalians and leave none standing! CHARGE!" Saladin blew his horn again to signal the start of the raid. Being a great commander he sent the weakest of his troops in first. Using his keen vision, Saladin saw that a few mammalians had come out of a tavern, a mutt looking creature, a tiger and a bear. Saladin cried "Fear Not men, crush these foes from the face of Sephir!" But, his men could not defeat these adversaries. Saladin sent the next wave of his regiment into the town, saying "I shall fight with you on this day!" Hearing this, the wave of troops morale increased and they charged into battle. These men put up a greater fight than the weaker troops before them. Saladin hacked and slashed the villagers, their blood spilled onto his feathers. Saladin then saw a great bear killing his troops left and right. "This Mammal is Mine!" Saladin cried as he flew toward the mighty bear, spear and shield drawn. He heard the bear roar in pain as Saladin drove his spear into the bears flanks. The bear went into a blaze of fury, his eyes glowing bright with rage, throwing his weapons down and beginning to mall Saladin's troops with his claws. Saladin was struck by the bears might blow, injuring his wing. Saladin pulled back as more and more troops went toward the stalwart mammals.

Hallik didn't draw his weapons he only had his shield out. Bashing Aviaks left and right. Dodging a couple, including a large bear that just rammed himself into the fray.
Looks like you boys needed some help." said Balian shattering an Aviak skull with his weapon and blocking an attack from another Aviak. Hallik took out the attacking Aviak and recognized the friend on the battlefield. Hallik attacked the other Aviak that the bear blocked. He jumped on his shield and jumped over the aviak and chucked his shield at him breaking his beak as he fell to the ground. Hallik snapped his arm and the belt that was attached to the shield returned to his arm. "The Order has deemed this genocide wicked. Richard and I have been sent to help you in your time of need."
Hallik landed behind the bear.
'Order?' he thought looking at the aviaks surrounding them. They seemed to be more confident.
"Give it up Mammalian you're out numbered!" sqwacked one. Hallik smiled and had a feeling the bear was too.
"True but you're clearly out matched." Hallik charged at the ignorant Aviak and with a flicker of white light his head came clean off.
"This Mammal is Mine!"
Hallik stopped and blocked an oncoming attack. He turned around to see the bear staring down an Aviak... His eyes widened. He knew this Aviak. He snapped his fingers and a helmet formed on his head and spun around knocking down the surrounding aviaks. He dashed towards the bears back and launched himself into the air flipping over Saladin and landing behind him. His hands flickered and his sword appeared in his hand as he swung his sword at Saladin aiming for his wings.

Richard:


Richard looked to see his partner and the others charge into battle. The only one besides Richard who didn't enter the battle was Senix firing away. "Looks like we have the proof now for the order. Only problem is we need to travel back to the east." He looked over at Senix. "I know you are probably ignoring me but it would be so kind of you if you and your friends could help us out on our mission."
"Focus on the fight at hand!" yelled Senix unpleased to see that Richard was doing nothing at all. Richard gave a sigh.
"Fine." said Richard as he grasped his book hearing that his partner needed aid. His eye soon became blank as he extended his arm out and hand open aiming at Balian. His hand then glowed a white and yellow light. "If you need some help just call it out please!"

Balian felt an energy coming out of Richard, and then felt that his wound started to feel better. Suddenly, he felt a huge surge of energy flow inside him. His eyes began to glow with a fiery hew, letting out a gigantic roar, Balian felt as if he had the strength of 3 men. He hurled Righteousness at the nearest Aviok, it hit the Aviok right on the neck, breaking it easily. Balian kept on fighting, inching forward every blow, until suddenly, the Aviok troops began to withdraw from the town. "We did it!" Balian cried, letting out another roar to taunt the Avioks. The rest of the mammalians cheered. Regrouping, Balian and Richard met up with the heroes that fought alongside them, Hallik and Senix. "You fought very bravely, I feel that Styx has blessed you." said Balian. Richard agreed. "We were sent by the Order Of Tyre, a sacred order that has sworn to keep the world of Sephir from dipping into chaos, we invoke the blessings of God to help us fight our enemies. I am Balian and this is Richard, we are two members of the Council of Elders, now that the Avioks have attacked, we will travel back to our Fortress in the Eastern forests of Tiberia, now that we have evidence, I'm sure that the council will back you and will send the rest our army to support you." Balian beckoned Richard to follow them. As they left Balian said to Hallik "We will be back as soon as possible, until we come back try to hold the Avioks back, I'm sure that they will be back; If this town falls, retreat to the castle of Aleppo, it is one of our strongholds, it is only a short ride from here and it is well fortified. May Styx smile on you." Balian and Richard then left, to report their findings to the rest of the Council members.

Saladin took another blow from a white tiger, the tigers sword pierced Saladin's wing. Saladin pulled back to the back lines and went to the hospital. He saw that the mammalians were pushing his men back. Saladin spoke to his lieutenant, Mashtub, "Pull our men back now, sound the retreat." Mashtub protested, "We cannot retreat, we are the black Legion we've never been defeated in open combat, this is a disgrace!". "We are not defeated!.." said Saladin, "We are just regrouping, I have another plan, we will wait till tonight, then we will attack and set fire to the village, now I am your superior, and you will obey me or I will have you killed!" Frightened for his life, Mashtub obeyed his General, he called for the men to retreat. Saladin went over to one of his messenger and told him, "Fly back to King Adalante and tell him what has happened here, also tell him that, while in the midst of fighting, that I saw what looked to be two memebers of The Order of Tyre, and if I'm right, we may be in for a lot of trouble." The messenger flew of as swiftly as he could to send Saladin's message to Adalante. Looking back at the village, he saw many things. A few mammalians standing ready to fight, the bodies of his men strewn across the battlefield. He thought about many things, but mostly about the next battle to come.

The Aviaks retreated, for now. That doesn't mean that they wouldn't come back.
"You fought very bravely, I feel that Styx has blessed you." said the bear, the fox next to him nodded in agreement. "We were sent by the Order Of Tyre, a sacred order that has sworn to keep the world of Sephir from dipping into chaos, we invoke the blessings of God to help us fight our enemies. I am Balian and this is Richard," said Balian placing a large hand on Richard, "we are two members of the Council of Elders, now that the Aviaks have attacked, we will travel back to our Fortress in the Eastern forests of Tiberia, now that we have evidence, I'm sure that the council will back you up and will send the rest our army to support you." Balian beckoned Richard to follow them. As they left Balian said to Hallik "We will be back as soon as possible, until we come back try to hold the Aviaks back, I'm sure that they will be back; If this town falls, retreat to the castle of Aleppo, it is one of our strongholds, it is only a short ride from here and it is well fortified. May Styx smile on you." Balian and Richard then left.
Hallik was completely blind sided by the whole fact that he just simply introduced himself and left. However, he was grateful, apparently his message to the Order reached their elders. Although disappointed that they sent only two people in response. Hallik looked around, Senix was still picking off the running Aviaks, including those whom decided to take flight.
"Senix." he said jogging up to his friend, "We're done for now. Lets head back to town and see if Nykael is still there."

Mera had been hiding, her talents not much needed right then, but when an Avaik flew beneath her branch, she took the opportunity, and pounced. She would've looked very odd, a tiger cub pouncing on a full-grown, well-armoured avaik, but she swung her kitty paws up, and slashed them cruelly down, slicing through armour and muscle alike. She squeald when a bit of blood hit her, and got a grossed out look on her fac, and ran away. "Ew!" she squealed as she ran away towards where Seniz and the others were. "Blood on me! Ew..." she whimpered, and glanced around.

After all the fighting had been finished and the Aviaks were fully retreated Nykael finally made his appearance, a stumbling mess of one. While helping make sure all the non-fighters were safe he had found some more alcohol bottles to down since Hallik had cut him short. Of course his path to his friends was cut off by Balian and Richard. "Ey weren't you that one guy that wash talkin' to Shenix earlier?" Prodding the giant bear in the stomach his eyes wandered over to Richard and his book of holy spells. "Ey you 'ave a book like me! Sho 'ow 'ave you been a shaman? Come on we're like family now you can talk to me!" Now things were getting way too blurry for Nykael and he did something that he normally only did to Hallik, he climbed on Richard's back whether the tiny Mammalian objected or not. "Esh got a book like me and e'sh the shame shize." Random drunk mumblings were always a thing with Nykael as was saying too much to anyone. "You know you're kinda cute you little Foxsh you." Giggling ensued and more slurred mumbling if it wasn't obvious Nykael was drunk you'd be an idiot. What occured now was very strange and couldn't really be explained, there was nibbling on an ear giggling and some minor cuddling, alcohol has an odd effect on Nykael.

Richard:

As Richard took off with Balian after the fight a black tiger came up to them and asked Balian a question. Right after that the tiger then looked at Richard and commented, "Ey you 'ave a book like me! Sho 'ow 'ave you been a shaman? Come on we're like family now you can talk to me!" It was damn obvious that this feline was drunk beyond belief. Richard supportively being a expert on knowing females saw that this person did have a that figure. Richard demanded Balian to go on ahead stating he will catch up. Balian was then a good long distance away.
"Uh ya course I have a book, wouldn't go anywhere with out it being a uh...shaman you know hehe." After he finished his sentence the tiger then climbed onto Richards back. 'Oh this is just what I needed.' Richard then started to have a grin on his face carrying the mammal.
"You know you're kinda cute you little Foxsh you." By the looks of things Richard was happy seeing what he could possibly do if this kept up.Next thing he knew the Tiger started to nibble on his ear. This to Richard make him laugh, topple an over having him on top of Nykael.
"Oh you are so beyond me in that factor." he said as he then planted a kiss on Nykael's cheek. Richard then heard a yell looking over to see a black figure walking toward them.

In the dark, damp bowels of the Aviak keep, sat a demon. Not a demon in a religious sense, nor a creature out of a nightmare tale; simply, an aviak who has lost any semblance of human sanity, falling into the pit of instinct and desire that people are tempted to collapse into. In a tiny cell, with his legs and arms chained to a wall via set of thick steel chains, thrashed Thain Al-amar. Thain was the demon lurking in the prison cell beneath the castle; simply to contain him, the King was forced to order him put into this dirty cess pit reserved for those criminals who had commited a serious sin. Mold clung to the walls, dripping moisture and giving a scent of decay to the underground place. Slime oozed from the walls, and rats and rodents chewed on scraps of stale bread that littered the floor; however, in this man's cell, not a thing was alive. Blood covered the floor, whether from rats and mice, or from some other creature that had tempted this lord of murder. Red liquid dripped onto the stone floor, painting a cruel scene of death and destruction.

If one had gazed into the furthest corner of the last cell on the left, they would have seen Thain, chained to the wall like an animal. The same fluid that coated his cell walls and floor, was dripping in small rivulets from his own fore arms, the blood lust coming upon the Aviak. His body was shivering with withdrawel, he even had a high fever. Thain, although out of touch with reality, had kept track of the days it had been since he had tasted anothers blood. A week. He was not accustomed to waiting a day to kill. Occasionally, a slam and a jingle could be heard as the Aviak threw his body at the bars, attempting to escape and go on a murderous rampage. However, all he succeded in doing was dig the cuffs deeper into his wrists. The pain wasn't there for Thain, he didn't feel the cuffs at all. He merely sat there in the gloom and dark, struggling and waiting for his "King's" order to kill once more. That was all he lived for....murder and killing.

Adalante:

The scout that had returned from Delten ran up the stairs running for his life. It wasn't long before he reached Adalante.
"My lord... Saladin has been pushed back by the Mammalians but will make another push soon."
Adalante paused and turned to him and looked down at the tiny man.
"Do you know who was... In charge of this rebel defense?" he asked folding his arms.
The scout was looking at the floor and was nearly out of breath. When he shook his head sweat lept to the floor.
"No, my lord. But I did see a white Tiger fighting us."
Adalante's eyes filled with rage at the mention of this and wiped his hand across the scouts face. The scout didn't move, nor recover from the blow. His mouth was bleeding.
"Tell your commander he will not push until down. In the mean time you will be escorting a reinforcement, come with me."
The scout hesitated and came down to the King's side as they both walked into the dungeon keeps. Two guards were at the door and saluted as the King walked by. They approached a large door, barracated in more ways that one. the guards opened it by the simple wave of Adalante's hand.
They both walked inside.
"You will be taking Thain."
The scout gulped.
"Him?" he said scared.
"Yes. Thain... Are you hungry for Tiger's Blood?" he said knowing the response. He left the room leaving Thain and the scout and the guards outside, muttering "Leave at once."
