Nogard let out a cry of alarm. He flicked the spear, sending a wave of muffins to clear the way in front of him as he ran to where Subversion had fallen.

Subversion lay still, barely breathing. Her Narrationblade, in the form of a mask, covered half her face where she'd summoned it to block the mace at the last second.

"If I only did things that are meant to be safe, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have done anything I've done. I am prepared for your trials."

"Very well."

Platypus stood in a field that had recently been the scene of a battle. Before him, a man wept.

Hacob finally snapped back to reality and saw what was happening, just in time to see Subversion get walloped. Yikes. That's gotta hurt. 

Not knowing exactly what to do, but not wanting Subversion to be hurt, even if she did deserve it, he Narrat- crap, Nogard was still there. That makes this much harder.

"Nogard! Get her to safety!" he called, gesturing to Subversion. His voice turned grim, and his eyes flashed darkly. "Zanitar, we'll take care of the rest of them."

His Narrationblade dropped into his hand, and he pulled a shield off his back. Can't fudge this fight too much using Narration, or he'll notice, but if I don't use anything, it'll be nigh-impossible to defeat this many brave adventurers. I'll figure it out as I go.

Hacob ran at the General and attacked.

Zanitar's dual Brightwields formed and he met up with Hacob in the charge.

The General turned to face them, swinging her maces with incredible skill. Careful Hacob. Subversion's thoughts were weak and wavering. One of those maces can disrupt Narration.

Wow. Leave to sleep/read aether of night, and soooo many pages. Don’t worry, I read them, and I am 95% sure nothing happened to Jilu other than she’s fighting soldiers.

As the tidal wave of muffins swallowed the enemies, Jilu silently charged the General from behind as he was focusing on deflecting muffins.

As if the General had eyes in the back of her head, one of the maces swung towards Jilu, loosing a lightning bolt directly at her.

The beast is struck, but the wave of emotions in the battle sustains her, and she does not falter.

“It means you’re annoying.”

“Chasms, speak for yourself,” she shot back, irritated. “And what about you? Where’d you come from? I can’t make fun of you if I’ve got nothing to go off of.” She paused. “Besides your hair. Purple doesn’t suit you.”

“I can tell you that I’m not dumb enough to go around dumping my whole backstory on the first people I see,” Beosta replied. She had her strange machine thing in her hand and was cleaning off dust and sharpening the little blades inside it.

I knew it shouldn't have hurt that much! Platypus walked over to the man, careful to remain out of range for any attack. He attempts to recognize the man, and what the battle had been.

Duly noted. He quickly ducked a mace and jumped over a different one. Thanks for the info.

He blocked a hit on his shield, wincing as he saw it crack. He quickly Narrated back to normal, then continued to fight. Even with Zanitar's help, they were being pushed back by the General. Guess I'll finally have to use those tools.

Zanitar laughed as he fought the General. This was what life was! Never knowing what would happen next, just you vs the enemy. This "General" was good. Almost too good. Magic weapons? His eyes flashed as lightning zipped out of one of the maces at someone attacking from behind. Yep. Magic weapons. His Brightwields glowed as they met with one mace, then another, then another. Slowly, they would sap the magic from those maces. It would make this a fair fight.

Nogard was relieved to see that Subversion was still breathing. He lifted her gently into the air on a bed of muffins as he formed a defensive perimeter. He looked around, trying to figure out where the Great Wizard had gone.

the man was no one Platypus had ever met before, and yet there was something familiar about him. As Platypus approached, he saw a wound in the man’s side, blood staining the ground. The man did not look up at Platypus’s approach, but he seemed to sense his presence. “Did he send you to finish me off?  There’s no need. I’ll be gone soon anyways.”

The General growled inhumanly, swelling in size. “Fools!” Her maces swung even faster, till they were no more than blurs. As Zanitar’s Brightwields met the last of the General’s maces there was a flash of light, and he realized with shock that it had sapped some magic back.

The Great Wizard was staring mournfully at a fallen adventurer. He shook himself, turning to assess the battle. The maces of the four Ghandeflaffle kings? This is bad. Time to get involved before anyone else gets hurt. He moved to join the battle against the General, but froze as a figure appeared. The Valiant One held a brilliant Shardblade and his expression was grim. “Do you have enough blood on your hands?” He shouted, “Or is your thirst for death not yet quenched? Once, I thought you held life in higher regard. What a fool I was.” He raised his Blade and charged.

An arm caught Selppaenip’s shoulder. “Apprentice, be careful.” …’s normalcy field was so strong that even Selppaenip’s eyes could barely notice him. “The General is skilled at combat, but her prowess in a fight is nothing compared to her strategical mind. She has a plan, and I fear you all might be falling into her trap.”

Great. Just what I needed. To fight another person with weapons that sap magic.

He continued fighting, keeping track of the magic-sapping mace, and trying to avoid interacting with it.

Hacob rolled away from a mace and made room for the Valiant One to join the fight. If he were to fight anyone besides the General, all hope might be lost.
