There is silence. Sarah's sox fly across the field and bounce off Ragoth's helmet. Jerrassi's eyes are defiant. Your arrogance almost killed you before, Ragoth, she pants. And it will kill you now! She rolls from underneath the sword, performs a quick back somersault, and is on her feet again. But weaponless.
She casts around for some kind of elemental focus, but is left with nothing. Suddenly, a wind elemental appears beside her; it is Iyh, one of the last survivors. Jerrassi, our master, you will not fail this time, she whispers. Ragoth's sword is of his ancestors, of humans; yours shall be made of the basis of life itself. Three others appear beside her, water, earth, and fire. They begin chanting in elemental, swaying, and then turning in a circle - for a circle is the symbol of neverending life. They spin faster and faster until they are a colored whirl of light, and the earth is torn up under them. When it seems they can go no faster, they collide with a resounding wail.
Their bodies slowly fade, dying. Jerrassi watches their sacrifice with little more than confusion.
Iyh whispers one last thing - Jerrassi... when we are gone, there will be a sword where our bodies were laid. It's name will be Lifescar, and it will be the Sword of Lodon's equal, perhaps even its superior. You will have a fighting chance. The elementals all expire at the same time and melt away.
As Iyh promised, there is a sword where their bodies were. With a furtive glance at Ragoth, Jerrassi snatches the sword.
She gasps and almost drops it. The raw elemental energy running through it is incredible. As she grasps it in her branch hand, she sees the twigs turn to fingers... though the rest of her arm remains a flexible branch, she can now use it with deadly accuracy.
What now, Ragoth?

Ragorth watches on as all that occurs, only to be amazed by the fact that elementals could do that.
" Hm...interesting." he says
Ragoth wipes off a little dirt on his armor paying no attention to Jerassi really. Then, a tink tink tink sound comes from all around. It's the sound of rain on armor. But this rain seemed different. Rather than staying somewhere when it hit, it made a hiss sound, and evaporated immediatly, like when you put a water on a very hot surface. This confused Ragoth, and as he looked around he even noticed Jerassi was confused. No one had ever seen this before.The air around him started to heat up, and it finally occured to him what was happening. The rain wasn't doing that, but he knew what was. He asked for all of his dragons to get his men out of there. They did so without a complaint, but rather with respect. As he and Gwy were the only one's left down there, he looked on the edge pf the cliffs and behind him. Enormous fire dragons came pouring down from the hills and the sky.
" Just in time" said Ragoth. " called you guys 6 days ago, where have you been?" he asked. "Oh well, your here now. There were only 20, but that was enough. Fire dragons are usually much larger than regular dragons, and very few exist. They had made an eternal alliance with Lodon, if Lodon agreed to never call them, unlesss it was a time of extreme crisis. Also, where they lived could never be revealed.
" Now then. Roast." he said and the command was taken ou in a hurry.20 fire dragons flew into the sky and began pouring fire from the heavens upon the orcs. The rain tht was coming down never made closer than within 50 feet of the dragons, they are too hot.
" Now then. To deal with you." Ragoth said turning to Jerassi." I see you have a new sword. Rather interesting how you got it. Too bad your best elementals were killed in doing so. It will not save you though."
Ragoth rushed forward, the two swords colliding. He stood there and stared into her eyes, a glow coming from his. The Sword of Lodon began glowing a bright red. He didn't know what was happening. It continued to glow and as he pulled his sword away from Jerassi's and swung to meet it again, flames came from the swords collision, as well as ice, water, and wind.
" It seems, I have a few elements in my sowrd as well" said Ragoth.
Their swords met again and the final duel began.

Wyra gasps when the fire dragons appear. She's seen them only once or twice in her life, and she jumps up and down and calls to them in dragon. The largest swoops down, incinerates a few dozen Orcs, and lifts her onto his back. She laughs wildly as the dragons dart through the sky wreaking havoc on Jerrassi's armies.
Jerrassi herself is shocked at the elements emerging from Ragoth's sword, but she manages to concentrate. The swords collid again and again, each time shooting out sparks, but only Ragoth's sword emits elemental energy. Yours is poorly made! It can't contain its energy - soon it'll be sucked dry! She reels back for an instant, then charges forward, catching Ragoth a nick to the cheek as he ducks. The pain will be excruciating because of the power in the sword, but other than that it's a minor wound.
Wyra is talking to the dragon she's on, uninterested in the battle below. Why'd it take you so long to get here? Six days is too long for dragons.
We were apprehended on the way, The dragon replies between bursts of fire. The ice dragons were being dratted annoying.
Oh. Wyra is quiet, her questions bursting in her. Finally, she can't take it anymore. I saw a dragon in Siftura who could become a human at will... can you do that? Could you teach me?
The dragon laughs. Some can do that... I can. But I doubt you could learn.
Oh... Disappointed, Wyra sits in silence.

[glow=red,2,300]ok nick, me n sara both agreed on this post [/glow]
Ragoth, clutching his cheek, and watching as all of the orcs and barabrians are being killed by the fire dragons, can't help but be amused. His sword is low on elemental energy, but that's ok. It can still kill her. The battle resumes. The swords meet, elements flying out, but the swords are not drawn back. They stay there, chraging agaisnt one another. Suddenly, as birght flash, and the two opponents sail backwards about 20 feet. The sword of Lodon, still cluthed in Ragoth's hand, is out of elemental energy. But Jerassi's sword is destroyed, shattered into peices, along with her left arm. Ragoth gets up, walks over to her, and pulls her up so she can see his face.
" Ha. You? win? I don't think so. You have one arm, no weapon, no army, and you are complelty exhausted. You even deserve to die. What's that you say? Mercy? No no no, no mercy for you. Not by my hand at least. Now then, didn't I tell you you would die. Yes, I did. I do believe I also mentioned that you would not win this war, you would have no army left, and that me and only me would kill you. Isn't that right? I do belive it is. Now then. let's put an end to this." Ragoth says to a very weak Jerassi
He hands her a small sword so it's a somewhat fair fight. Sheactually lasts for another 15 minutes before their swords meet one last time. Ragoth pulls his sword away, kicks her away from him, and as she is turning around he throws the sword of Lodon into her torso. He walks up to her, twists the sword, and pulls it up her body to her neck and pulls it out. He then spins, slicing her head off and wtaching it crumble to dust with the rest of her body. He sees the fire dragons leave, the giants and all other drgaons leave. On his knees, his armor goes back to normal, his eyes back to normal, and hos strength returns to normal. He calls for his horse and as he is hoping on it's back he notices 2 ruby red jewels on the ground. He picks them up, to have them embedded in the sword later. As he returns to the city, 150,000 soldiers from all around the world cheer him, throwing pedals down from buildings. With Gwy at his side, he makes it to the palace for a banquet. It lasted for what seemed to be forever. From this day on, it's no longer General Ragoth, but King Ragoth, Emperor of Lodon. But unnoticed on the battlefield, in the dust of Jerassi, comes a faint glow which quickly dies, followed by a faint whisper saying...i will come again...the wind blows the pile into the air, scattering the remaining dust if Jerassi into the dirt.
" Finally" mutter Ragoth the next day. " Peace."

(AWESOME! But Wyra's gotta have the last word.)
The battle is over. Jerrassi is dust on the ground, quietly rebuilding her strength mere inches from the Other Side. The dragons have returned to their homes, all the armies are dead or off celebrating. Wyra is all alone on the field, walking among dead bopdies quite unconcernedly.
She pauses by Jerrassi and something shiny catches her eye. She bends down and picks it up.
To her surprise, it is Lifescar. But she, as well as everyone else, saw it break. It must have replenished itself.
Wyra touches the blade. Hm... There is no evil in this sword. Jerrassi used it for evil. That's why it broke... She hefts it. The balance is perfect. I'll keep it... Lifescar. Hm. A good name... an elemental name. Yes... it's mine now. None will use it for evil again. She sheathes it and starts the long walk home, leaving the carnage and death behind.
She is sure to spit on Jerrassi as she leaves.

Ragoth walks the battlefield the next day. Turning over dead bodies and loading them into carts to be taken away, looking for anybody he might of known, helping clean up. He always hated this part. But it has to be done. Even as emperor he helps clean up. It's a good way to show that he won;t be lazy from now on.
" Man I hate this part." he said to Gwy. " I'd rather be fighting. but at least it's over eh?"

(Well, you missed the whole battle... Jerrassi is dead. She lost an arm, lost her dignity, Ragoth called in some dragon reinforcements, the Orcs were incinerated, the elementals made a fun sword for Jerrassi, Ragoth broke the sword and killed Jerrassi, and Wyra (who has been watching this for some time now) finds that the sword has replenished itself and takes it. That be all. ;D)

((Funny as it may be, I didn't lose that many troops. I sent quite a few riders to ride through the orcs but they came back relatively close to the number I had sent out. Originally I had 50,000 troops and I'll say I lost about 500 riders in the swift ride through the orcs and the ride back to camp. So now I have 49,500 men. Daggum! lol. So yeah, they are all in my command and are living at Dunton. I was going to try and do something in that final battle but I got on too late sorry. It had already all happened and I think it's pretty good that way. Anyways, good rping guys. Does this mean that this thread is gone and we now are going to start really growing Lodon? Thanks for such a great battle Krone, Amry, Zinny, and anyone else who got in to the thread. )

((Well, Rai's gonna be out of it for a few days, RP-wise, Evallon's gonna go back to the confounds of her territory, WhiteFangClaw's, well.. I guess he'll be going back to his territory for a while, one of the reasons he'd attacked because the fight was getting a bit too near to what he considers his "territory" and you know how wolves and territorial creatures are. He's attacks just for the heck of hunting, but this was just one of those few times where he just wanted to be left alone and no one would leave his territory.. wait, WFC always wants to be left aloen.. errr next person XD And Laina's.. lol, Laina'll do whatever. She's Laina. XD))
Evallon's eyes shifted back up. THe world came back to her, and she decided to stay back and watch the fight end. Her acid green eyes shifted towards Ragoth, and she was silent a moment, getting back ont all fours. She rose her wings lighty, and uttered loudly at Ragoth, "Nyaphe." (Friend.) She then went airborne, and quickly darted towards the mountains.
Rai had been transferred to the town shortly afterwards. They'd calculated out that she'd be unstable for a few days, but she'd be back up and running in less than a week.
WhiteFangClaw (He'd appeared once here.. I never found another entrance, but yeah, he's gotta be included in Zin's finale XD) had retreated back to his territory near the mountains. He eyed over his terrian, over the small lake that was there, watching for any intruders that happen to think it'd be "fun" to invade his home.
Laina, well.. she did her own thing. Laina was awkward. She just sat in her tree. She'd come join the town later; she just didn't wanna get up, for some reason.
