Elven Civil War (IC Closed, Aluvean Seas)

[Valorono]

Dimiri joined his cossack brethren in song and dance as they rested for the night.

The party continue through out the night. Calthuria use this oppertunity to have more romance with Dimitri.

As the night drew to a close, the united army of cossacks and Valoronians continued their march into the heart of the loyalist Regime.

[Demincia]

When the backup force arrived, they saw shadow figures attacking nothing but air, Selina standing a few feet away mocking and insulting them.
"Oh shit! I LOVE this thing! It's so funny watching you guys attack the air! But you can't even hear me! You truly think I'm hiding in the rock formation you think you see. Haha! Oh man I wish Malik was here, he'd probably say something about toying instead of killing you, but it's so fun! What's the matter? Did a bug bite you and now you're slaughtering them ALL? Hahahaha."
The Assassin forced joined her and watched as their enemies warred with nothing, when Selina held it up again. This time the effects were not visible to them, but only to their foes. The Shadow forces saw every other Shadow as an Assassin, and were compelled to attack. "Watch this one, this is my favorite!"

The monsters where not that intelligent to break the illusion spell. They began to tear each other apart.

Some of the Assassins cringed at the sight, but Selina kept laughing and the apple began to glow brighter. "Fools! Too stupid to realize! You die before me, weak and pointless, such is your fate of you and your home!" Her voice seemed to be echoed across centuries, the Apple recreating the spirits of past wielders around Selina, all laughing while clutching the orb, all giving life to wield it.

One of the Bureau Leaders shook his head in worry. " No no no! That damned thing! Extorting its own will over hers. We have to stop it, but we can't touch it, or it will kill us. It takes a certain bloodline to hold it... She needs to regain control of herself!"

[The Elven Imperium]

As the night drew to a close, the united army of cossacks and Valoronians continued their march into the heart of the loyalist Regime.

The United Army reached the boarder with the Blood Elf kingdom just in time to see the Airships of the Constannian Air Navy.

Icaria saw what was happening to Selina and began to fly towards her to stop her.

Brinford's bright emerald eyes looked back into Sakura's, as the young man wondered how to reply to the question.

"Well, letting one bad thing from your past wreck the rest of your life seems a bit silly, doesn't it? If you enjoyed fishing but had one nice fish escape from you right before you caught it, you wouldn't let that discourage you so much you never went fishing again, would you?" replied the blue-blood, reassuringly smiling a tad. "It might not be the most eloquent way of phrasing it, but I'll be honest in admitting the fact that I'm a soldier, not a therapist or matchmaker." Alberrat added, still expertly dancing with the music right up to the end of the song.

Sakura smiled. "Thank you Lord Brinford. Your words have wisdom. Perhaps I will try to fish again. Is there any good fish I sould try to catch Lord Brinford?" She asked with a smile. Her eyes where like cool pools of blue water before him.

[Valorono]

As the night drew to a close, the united army of cossacks and Valoronians continued their march into the heart of the loyalist Regime.

The United Army reached the boarder with the Blood Elf kingdom just in time to see the Airships of the Constannian Air Navy.

As The United Army Marched to join the Constannians, Cavaro flew up to join the sky navy and help in any way he good.

[The Elven Imperium]

Northern Desert Elf Kingdom, 0500 Hours,

The air of the desert was brisk and clear in the early hours of the morning, still comfortably cool from the night. There was a near-total silence, broken by the occasional animal cry...and the soft humming of Constannian fighting machines drifting over the sands. For creatures with a higher range of hearing than the humans commanding the machines, they would notice a high-pitched squeal at frequent, regular intervals, as the factsphere sensors of the Scionis-class Mecha scanned the surroundings of the vanguard for the Sixth Regiment of the Imperial Landforce. Behind the V-formation came a sight that a generation ago would have been unheard of in a Constannian army: tanks. Seeking a cheaper way to modernise their anti-infantry capabilities and to support the advanced, albeit expensive Knightmare Frames, the Imperial Landforce, under the recommendations of Lord Hallsian and the Crown Prince himself, had begun developing tanks for its needs. While the steam-powered Neo-Thunderfists and Mercutiads, and the other various steam-powered fighting machines weren't immediately scrapped, they were being gradually phased out of front-line service, being refitted for support roles, military base security, and heavy-duty police vehicles.

Prince Winston Jeremiah Von Constannia sat in the commandant's seat of his Scionis Grandant-class Mecha, the larger, more powerful version of the Scionis-class Mechas, with thicker armour, more missile launchers, a higher top speed, and it was simply bigger than its predecessors. It was still technically classified as a next-generation prototype, but Prince Winston had taken a liking to the Mecha, even going as far as to name it Desert Lion. In a way, it was a fulfilment of a childhood dream for the prince. As a boy he had been fascinated and awed by battleships, wanting nothing more than to serve on one. However, Winston unfortunately discovered he got horribly seasick with terrible ease, dashing those hopes. But now he got what he had wanted, in a roundabout sort of way. While it was officially classified as a Mecha, to Prince Winston the Desert Lion was more than that, since it didn't walk the way other Mechas did. No, in his opinion the fighting machine he was aboard that glided over solid earth as easily as loose sand was a landship, a technological triumph unequalled by anything in the Aluvean.

"Your Royal Highness, we're approaching the Blood Elf kingdom," one of Winston's crewmen reported.

"Very well. Increase the frequency of our scans, we don't want the enemy catching us off guard," the prince replied.

"Shall we disengage the Sonic Filter, Your Royal Highness?" Asked one of the crew.

"No, we'll save that for when we make enemy contact. I doubt they know we're here yet, so hopefully that shouldn't need to happen too soon," Winston responded, stretching a little as the Desert Lion continued to travel forward, passing through the Blood Elf's borders.

The fleet was startled by the appearance of Cavaro. Dragon of Valorono. Below them was a vast army of Valorononians and Elves.

As day turned to night the army stopped once again and made a tremendous camp of which the torches and lights could be seen from the blood elf capital. Most of the troops were prepareing themselves for the soon battle ahead of them. Some began singing in Valoronian about home, and love. While the dwarfs, lead by King rasputin, that had accompanied the Valoronians drank their fill and ate plenty. Dimitri and the other worgens that had been brought along scouted ahead of the camp to find out any information they could.

The land was eerily quiet. As they cross the border they notice there was a beautiful flowing river just across the border. It waters were crystal clear and inviting.

As Dimitri and his three worgen companions neared the river, they could not help but drink from the water as they were extremely thirsty from the very long run.

[Constaniana]

Sakura smiled. "Thank you Lord Brinford. Your words have wisdom. Perhaps I will try to fish again. Is there any good fish I should try to catch Lord Brinford?" She asked with a smile. Her eyes were like cool pools of blue water before him.

"Well...um..." Lord Brinford began to blush, getting a bit nervous. "Perhaps me?" He said a bit quietly, looking away and scratching the back of his head, a common Constannian habit when embarrassed.

[Demincia]

Icaria saw what was happening to Selina and began to fly towards her to stop her.

As she flew a wall of golden light arose in front of her, blocking her from advancing. Then, a large burst of pure energy knocked everyone down, and left Selina on her knees near the mass of illusional rocks. "damn that hurts.... She couldn't have... made that not be a bitch." She slowly stood up, her strength slowly returning. "Oh god my head hurts. Remind me to start carrying aspirin or some ice. Maybe even some herbleaf. Hehe." She braced on a tree as everyone got to their feet. "Hey! I don't remember saying that you could take a nap while I dealt with this. Though I obviously had it under control, so I didn't really need help." She stood up on her own again as if nothing happened, maybe even stronger than before. She looked back at the Shadows, some of which still fighting themselves. "He. They really are idiots. What are they?"

[Brotherhood Steel the 2nd]

As Francis laid alone in his bed to ponder his thoughts, he felt the whole world crashing onto his shoulders as it seemed that it would be up to himself again to lead this war to an end. Even with his new implants and his new eye, Francis still felt he was getting older and as such, his own confidence in his abilities was beginning to become weary himself. While he still valued himself as a good warrior and an excellent commander and field strategist, Francis knew that during the course of this particular war he was feeling the added weight and pressure not to die or become seriously injured as he now had a large family and many wives to care for and as such, he didn't want to become a disappointment onto himself or those around him. However, as he lied their in his bed, Francis knew he was already several months behind because of the surgery and other matters he had faced during this war. As he was thinking to himself on his bed, Francis heard several soft knocks on his door as it seemed he had company wanting to talk to him.

Little did Francis know but Akordia had snuck out of the castle and followed her family. She open the door to her father room and poke her head inside.

In and out of his sleeping state, Francis paid little to no attention to the matter that his oldest daughter had managed to sneak her way towards the front and managed to sneak by countless guards and other personal to reach him. Nevertheless, Francis's mind was too preoccupied with many other thoughts as he failed to pay attention to the matter of his daughter Akordia standing next to his bed.

[Constaniana]

The arrival of Tsar Dimitri's host took Prince Winston and his forces by surprise. The Constannian landship commander hadn't been expecting the Valoronians or their new allies to be accompanying his shock troops.

"Well this certainly throws a wrench into the gearworks," he said, sighing and rubbing his forehead. "Well, complaining about the situation won't do any good. There'll be some difficulty with regards to incorporating these troops into our existing strategy, but that won't stop us winning the war. Carry on lads," Winston said to his crew as the Constannian landships continued onward.

Up in the sky, however, the Constannian in charge was less cheerful about the new arrivals. Princess Cassandra Elizabeth Van Constannia XVI looked at the holographic display of the area, with her flagship, the R.C.A.S Infinite right in the centre.

"Brilliant, did none of these Valoronians or Horse Elves think to bring artillery with them? Brilliant, now I'll have to deal with hordes of allied troops wanting direct combat with the enemy forces and getting in the way of just bombing these Blood Elves until they give up. I suppose the dragon can be useful, for demoralizing the enemy forces and causing generic havoc. The only problem with it is how it can possibly get in the way of the armada's guns. Well, hopefully it'll be sensible enough to get out of the way of our shells and rockets," the woman said, a tad irate.

When night fell, the Constannian force of Scionis mechas and tanks made their camp a good distance away from the Valoronian and Elven camp, not wanting to be so easily spotted by the Blood Elves.

As the night continued the towed artillery pieces, katyusha rockets, and T90s that had been following the army had arrived. Setting up in the camp, the large camp became something of a fortress, with artillery pieces, and tanks guarding the premesis at all times to protect from threats.

Meanwhile in the sky Carvaro flew above the Constannian air fleet. He looked down and grinned as he saw the sir fleet scrambleing to find a way for him not to get in the way of things. He just laughed to himself while he flew circles around them, before flying off.

[The Elven Imperium]

As Dimitri and his three worgen companions neared the river, they could not help but drink from the water as they were extremely thirsty from the very long run.

As they drank. The did not notice some of the water around them begin to take a lovely humanoid form.

The worgens were confused about this figure, finally Dimitri asked "Who are you water being?"

The water cloalest into a breathtaking Elf like creature. A nymph. She looked at the group and frowned. "You don't belong here. Leave."

The group growled at the nymph before saying "what gives you the authority to tell us what to do?"

"I was kind. I gave you a warning. You refused.... Now die." With that she turn and looked at them and drop her rode. Revealing a unearthly beauty to the group. The Worgens began to grip there chests in pain as they felt their hearts suffer an attack from her beauty.

As the worgens were nearly crippled, Dimitri asked through the pain "Who are you?"

[The Elven Imperium]

"Well...um..." Lord Brinford began to blush, getting a bit nervous. "Perhaps me?" He said a bit quietly, looking away and scratching the back of his head, a common Constannian habit when embarrassed.

At that moment Sakura got quite. A Constannia prince had broken her heart once before. Would she risk it again. Was he worthy of it. She wonder as he stared into his eyes.

"Lucianna. I protect this river from invaders. You are here to destroy the Blood Elf kingdom. This I cannot allow. Now leave or die." She said covering herself. The pain stopped for the moment.

As the worgens breathed hevily Dimitri spoke "We are not here to destroy the kingdom, only to free it from its oppressors."

As the worgens breathed hevily Dimitri spoke "We are not here to destroy the kingdom, only to free it from its oppressors."

"Liberate..another word for war. Please don't try to convince me to your cause. I have ancient sacred oaths to protect this kingdom. You will not turn me. Now leave."
