Snippet #2381473

Mund watched as on of his men fell. Blood came form his back. Mund cursed and looked around. He tried to think. He imagined the town from above. He remembered the coast. The sea. The cavalry would be coming in a while. Mund cursed again. They would need to grab what they could and get out. Mund gave the men a quick signal with a bit of mana. Mund couldn't uyse much, but he shot a little ball of flames into the air. that was about the limit of his abilities. With fire anyway. All men of the Northern tribes could use water mana with some amount of skill.

"Mund! Watch!" Guy yelled with excitement. Mund went running to his older brother. Guy took a wide warriors stance then he put his hand out to the water and a small snake of water floated out of the icy pond. Guy smiled as he released it. Mund laughed with his brother. "Don't worry bro, you'll get it next year, we all do at nine." guy said patting his little brother on the shoulder. Mund smiled. He was sure his brother would teach him how to bend the water to his will. Mund tried to do as his brother, but as the water floated out of the pond it froze in the cold wind. Mund slouched. "Don't give up Mund." Guy said.

Guy's words echoed in his head. Mund cursed himself this time. He still loved his brother that he hated. Mund made a dash for the water. He held his shield up to hopefully block any arrows. The flames were a signal of retreat to his men and they were likely doing the same. The humans and elves were the first, being the smartest. Then the beast-men keyed in and followed Mund's suit. they grabbed what they could on their way. They didn't get anything too heavy so they didn't weigh themselves down.

The men on the airship abandoned the fight and attempted to run into the ship. They put their shields up and ran for dear life. As they did so the turrets began to lower into the ship so the attackers couldn't attack their weapons. The airship began to sail towards the coast where Mund and the crew were headed.

Mund saw the ship overhead "Don't let them get into the food stores!" Mund yelled. mund looked out to sea and saw his brothers ship coasting away. "Traitor.... TRAITOR! Come back Guy! help us!" Mund yelled as the ships sail faded away. The image of Guys sail flashed in his eyes for a moment on his airship. for a moment he thought he saw Guy standing on the ship, but then it vanished.
