After suiting up I grab my blade and pour my power into it waking it up from it's slumber. "You will have lots of blood this time old friend." I say with a dark smile as I feel the blade answer with joy. I mount my dragon and ride out.
The troops are ready and waiting. Thousands of fae line up on their dragons making it a sight to see. We haven't had a war in hundreds of years so the men are itching to battle. The surrounding villages close their gates preparing for the upcoming battle not wanting to get caught up into it. They can feel the magic growing stronger and hear the cries of the dragons.
The mages stood towards the back but lined up making a long straight line behind the troops. They all lowered their hoods revealing their markings and their blue glowing eyes. Soon they began chanting. As Ryder's troops grow closer and closer it causes the ground to start shaking. Large powerful blast of pure energy shoot out from the mages and into Ryder's troops.
I lift an eyebrow and smirk.. that was a nice little trick. I raise my sword and the surrounding troops cry out ready to attack. When the enemies grow close enough I give the signal. Hundreds of fae take off colliding in battle. I stay back and look for Ryder. I find him sitting back and watching with a smirk. I grit my teeth and fly over avoiding the other battles happening.
"You have a lot of nerve to show up looking for war Ryder!" I say coming to a stop in front of him. "You took something that belongs to me, of course I'd come to take it back." Ryder says with a growl. "Yours? Hah! Syn in my woman Ryder.. you know this. Whatever you're trying to do won't work. But since you are begging for death I will give you just that!"
I shift away from my dragon as Ryder shifts meeting me in midair. The impact from us hitting causes a wave of power that knocks over the fae under us. I fly back and drop to the ground in shock.. Ryder drops down in front of me and gives me a dark smile that doesn't reach his black eyes. Black eyes... "What have you done Ryder?" I ask frowning.
"Me? I sold my soul.. it was a useless thing away. Now I have unlimited strength and can crush you and anyone else that gets in my way." Ryder says with a hollow laugh. I tighten my grip on my sword and activate my Runes causing my eyes to light up. "Hahaha!! Even that won't help you this time Rune. Face it, this is your end!" Ryder says and attacks.
I lift my sword and block the blow and feel myself flying backwards tearing up the ground in the process. I grit my teeth and stand my ground. "Even if you sell your soul.. it won't be enough to beat me." I say through gritted teeth sending a blast of power out hitting Ryder.
The blast hits Ryder sending him back several feet and he laughs. "This will be fun!" Ryder attacks again and I meet his blade as another shock wave flies out around us tearing up the ground and everything around us. The troops around us scramble away trying to give us enough room so they won't be caught in the destruction.
I block the blow and flip my blade around bringing the bade down and hitting Ryder in the face with my elbow laced with power. He blocks the blade but not the elbow. He stumbles back and grabs his face saying "You always did fight dirty.." I smirk and attack him again.
I lace my blade with power and see Ryder doing the same. As our blades collide the amount of power that's given off causes a few places on their bodies to be hit and start bleeding. Ryder and Rune stumble back and glare at each other. Neither one willing to back down. Rune's dragon Swoops low releasing a large breath of fire igniting a group of Ryder's men who were trying to sneak up behind him.
"This will end with your death.." Ryder says as dark coils of power begin to slither to him. Rune frowns but stands his ground. "Even if I am to die here.. it will only be after your death." Rune says through gritted teeth. Ryder's smile is growing as he says "You still have no idea what I can do.." Ryder slams his fits into the ground and pours his dark evil power into it.
The ground begins to shake as ear piercing cries begin to break out. From the Ground hundreds of evil looking creatures begin crawling out and with them comes decay and death. Necromancer!? Rune looks at the creatures then back to Ryder as a look of fear crosses his eyes. Bringing things back from the dead.. how were they to kill something that was already dead?
Ryder throws his head back and laughs with joy. "You see now Rune! This is just a small amount of the power I now hold. If you kill yourself or beg for mercy I'll give you a quick death." Rune sneers and says "Enough with the magic tricks. I will send you and all your new play things back to hell where you all belong."
Rune Laces his blade once again and stabs the creature that was crawling to him. The creature cries out in pain as Rune's power washes over it burning it to ashes. "Hahaha!! We will see who's sending who to hell!" Ryder yells out as thousands of creatures charge into the battle. Rune grits his teeth and knows that the battle is no longer in his favor... He picks his blade back up getting ready to attack again but freezes when he sees lightening flash across the sky. No.. it can't be..
