In the distance, something was coming, a figure who has not seen a real battle in a long time. He was riding on the back of a wyvern. The presence of several bright blue glowing runes encircling him was proof he was not amused (charge 1).
On his back was a bright green glowing crystal, though he intended to use it as a last resort.

Cyronin watched the giant dragon roar, swinging its head back. He knew that if he could get close enough it to touch it, it would dissipate, but there was no chance of that. He was so far away, and there was a considerable mass of undead between here and there. Still, he decided he might as well make his way through as much of the undead horde as possible, and so drew his blade, raising it over his head in a signal to charge.
Behind Cyronin, the veterans of his legion followed him into the fray, hacking and slashing the reanimations with reckless abandon, as the mages moved into the centre of the group. Before long, a 'flying v' formation built up, with Cyronin at the point and his warriors streaming down the side, while the mages, still charging their spells, built up energy in the centre.
Further along the lines, General Smythe's Second Legion, comprised of archers and infantrymen stood, forming two loose rows behind the tight frontline of the shield wall. It proceeded forwards slowly, with the bowmen occasionally popping enchanted arrows over the top that, when impacted, detonated in a shower of holy fire. Shortswords flickered out of the tiny gaps between the shields, stabbing anything unfortunate enough to get in the way.
In the other direction, General Soames led the Eighth Legion of mounted knights forwards into the melee. The beauty of horses was that they were fast and agile, and so the knights cantered into formations of undead, breaking them apart and taking a few hits with their swords before riding away to attack from another point.

THe massive dracolich turned its head to the living, the undead among them drawing its attention with its scream. A massive build up of energy began to visibly form in its throat. All would see the lighting increasing in ferocity and might forming a ball of intense energy.

"FIRE!" The mounted mages unleashed their spells and sent an unrelenting volley of various energy blasts towards the gigantic creature's neck. It was obvious the creature was about to fire something at them capable of annihilating their entire battleline, so they knew their best option was to deflect it. The impact of the blasts would hopefully cause the creature to swing its ugly neck away from their forces.
All the other forces focused on the undead ambush, fighting alongside the Isranians.
Of course the Falcon Corps had their birds of prey retreat from that creature. But they weren't done yet. As the birds retreated, their falconers had them plant runes of a different sort in front of their line. (charge 1)

The dragon released its breath, a powerful torrent of the same purple lightning streaking through its body. The mages hit dragon right as it released this attack. The dragon's head moved sideways as it took the blow and the torrent of lighting streaked across the left line of the living's forces.
The undead that continued to rise from the sand, and then managed to live through the dragon's rising from the sands continued marching on the living.

"...CUSTOS AQUAE DEI!"
The old man's voice rang out across the sky.
There was an ominous silence as a bright flash like lightning draped the weary warriors below. The source of the light was a gigantic glyph erupting amidst the clouds. Should the forces below have the courage to look up, there would be a strange sight indeed. A behemoth swirling clear mass with a reptilian face writhed in the air. Its tail end was illuminated by the massive glowing glyph which was apparently its origin. Its front end scattered the light of the undead dragon's lightning. And so it would almost look like a giant specter of shattered glass fragments from the ground below.
Once again there would be little sound even as the giant water entity snaked towards the unholy monstrosity at shocking speed, just as the dragon was recoiling from its volley. The horizontal water spout was large enough to easily envelop the behemoth's neck with its jaws. Then came the impact, like the crack of a whip for miles around. The creature would feel an immense downward impulse as the water mass struck and then enveloped its neck. In conjunction with the momentum caused by the volley of spells and the recoil of the lightning blast, the water mass imposed its will on the beast. If a giant water spirit wasn't enough to knock the beast down, more would follow soon. The undead had incited the ire of the most powerful mage in all the Land-Tiller's Expanse, the first mentor and rival of the chaos mage Lynx of the Celadine, and the man whose sworn duty was to protect and nurture the people of the expanse with his life.
And now, at the sight of the charred bodies below him, Havador's wrath was beyond imagination.
One more thing. In the midst of the attack, Havador had found a brief moment to touch the glowing emerald he had brought with him.
Va'nei Dha'zhi, Earthwarden was now aware that hundreds of her people had just been brutally slaughtered.

The Giant Dracolich writhed as the water enveloped its head and neck, but as quickly as it came it would go. The purple lighting surged through the water spirit, the magics therein reacting elementally with the water. The beast flapped its wings three times and the viscous blasts of air scattered men, undead, and sand. The sand and wind in conjunction turned the water elemental attacking the dragon into a shower of rain and sandy mud.
The beast was not backing down. Already another breath attack was charging in its throat.

Va'nei Dha'zhi, Earthwarden
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 323
Age: Way too old for any shenanigans.
Physical Description: In her natural form, Va'nei is a dragon. A very very large dragon. She stands 90' tall at the shoulder, and her wingspan is 480'; her body is long and slender, for a dragon, at 230' long. Her tail is longer than that of the average dragon, longer even than the rest of her body at a total 270', and dwindles to a long, thin, prehensile point capable of great dexterity and precision. She is ancient and colossal, an earth dragon of great wisdom, and appears to be covered in leaves, moss, and vines. Her eyes are a vibrant shining gold in both forms. In her human shape, she is humorously small compared to her dragon form. An average 5'6" and slender, she has long green hair and lightly-tanned skin; her skin retains a faint iridescent scale pattern, seen in certain angles of light.
------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: When in her dragon shape, Va'nei carries no equipment. As a human, she wears layered green robes and a pair of thigh-high green heeled boots. She also wears a headband with a small feathered adornment just above her left ear, and a necklace comprised of carved crystal beads.

A great roar emanated from overhead as the Earthwarden soared into view, her great wings flapping to stop her in midair and let her look down upon the carnage below. Anger welled within her body; those were the charred and broken bodies of her children, her chosen people, littering the sands below. Never before had she felt such an anger, and Va'nei's golden eyes narrowed upon the undead dragon in rage. This creature was the same size as her, but much bulkier, and despite the anger fogging her brain, she knew attempting a full-on physical assault like she desired would be unwise. And so razor-sharp wooden spikes began to grow all along her body as she wheeled away and soared higher into the sky with great sweeps of her wings. It would take a moment for her attack to be fully ready, and so she spiraled above, waiting for the spikes to grow large enough. Once they were fully grown, each about the size of three men in length, she dove back toward the earth. As she neared the undead dragon, the spikes - close to two hundred in total - were expelled from her body with force and speed, shooting toward the raised monstrosity. She was better at range.. she would leave the tackling to @tuesirth. But that didn't stop her from swooping down to land amongst the defending forces, the wind of her massive wings causing sand to flurry outward. She spread her wings and stretched her neck upward, trying to look as intimidating as possible to the heavier undead dragon in front of her.

He could feel the pain and rage of the Earthwarden herself, even before he caught up to where she had found the battle ground. Much to his distaste, there were more undead on the move to engage the living.
And a risen dragon from the sand, rippling with magic and power. And considering the size and shape... it seemed familiar. Was this a brother from long ago? He had no time to ponder over the thought - a fury of his own made his figure quake as he neared the battleground.
He took to a more direct approach, flying overhead of the human armies below and well into the sands, where he would stand off at the flank of the dragolich. His massive figure would slam down with claws in the sand, where he turned seemingly slowly to face this beast. His expression was a vicious one - one that made men run for fear of being eaten. He inhaled deeply before opening his maw, the jaw lined with sharp teeth ready to tear, and unleashed a furious roar to rock the lands - a challenge issued in the most basic of animal forms.

Although a significant portion of the Land-Tillers had been obliterated, there were still quite a few left. They looked on as their sacred guardian and even their venerable elder came to their defense. The remaining Falcon Corps members unleashed their new spell. The sky was now littered with runes. On command, the runes activated. A great shield appeared in the sky, protecting the remaining battle line. Made of pure mana, the shield was not indestructible, but it would most likely survive one last volley from the unholy beast of the desert. As for Havador, he was pleased to see that Va'nei had not only arrived in time, but had brought a powerful ally with her. The essence of the water spirit that Havador had summoned was badly disrupted. The electricity had reduced its body into its constituent elements, but it was far from dead. It would quickly reform, separating itself from the muddy sand and drifting into a foggy coalescence. The mist would attempt to blind the dragon and foul its aim while the other behemoths did battle with it. It would continue to persist in some way, shape, or form until Havador himself was defeated. Luckily Havador had chosen one of the faster wyverns for his mount...

As the great dragon and magical summoning by the Land tillers came. The soul screech was ready. Deep in the bowls of Yerazins chest, although he did not have one, did it build. Like a bubble it expanded until it his very bones were beginning to warp outwards by the pressure.
Opening his jaw, Yerazin screamed.
It was a terrible sound. It was not physical, but it could be heard in the minds of every defender. A giant almost deafening screech. Yet they didn't even get the bulk of the spell. Blasting its way across the desert sands it hit the ranks of the dead. Here it would have a different effect then on the living. Here the very magic used to keep the dead moving was being blasted from the vessels by the soul screech. It would not stop the dragon from continuing its onslaught, but it would surely confuse it and bewilder it, trying to regain its footing after its very magics was being ripped out its body.

Va'nei's attacks hammered against the monster. If it was made of flesh it would have been in agony. It releashed its lightning breath as Va'nei flew by.
Tuesirth's earthquakes took out its secure footing, the sands swallowing its feet. The elemental's smoke screen blinded the monster. Yerzan's screech would seem more effective than it should have been however. Not only did the undead encroaching against the living fall to pieces but so did the dracolich. Its lighting channeling into the sands melting and crystallizing them.
Little did the combatants know that in Aaedan, the lich who rose the dragon had been slain. The magic fueling the dragon and undead dying out with it.
The sky above the desert removed the horrid clouds that soaked the desert in magical rain.

The dragon was vanquished so easily? Those who battled at the tower must have slain the source. Va'nei watched as the creature began to crumble.. but saw the lightning moving through the sands too late. She spread her wings and attempted to take to the skies, but she didn't act fast enough; the electricity surged through the sand around her forelegs, the heat melting the tiny particles and burning her talons, as well as singing the scales and skin of her legs as they sank into the sand. She roared in agony, and a great tug freed her maimed forelegs as she went tumbling backward. She very nearly crash-landed into the forces behind her, but when she heard them crying out, she managed to wrest enough control of her body to quickly shrink into her human form. The green-haired woman thudded into the sand, cradling blistered and burned arms against her chest. By Gaia, that hurt, and the pain was so intense that she nearly lost consciousness. But she forced herself to sit up, struggling to speak without growling.
"The tower.. the heroes in the city.. they were.. victorious?"

Hearing Va'Nei screech in pain brought a most furious roar from his maw, his figure trembling in absolute rage. Against all reason, he was livid. He would stomp forward with every intent to engage... but the beast crumbled to the sand. He stared at the remains with a mixture of disappointment and disgust - once again, he was not needed and wasting space. But the cries of the earth were fading, so he was content in that regard.
Now that the risen had fallen, they needed to be put to rest again. His massive head rose to point to the skies, and a mournful bellow echoed out from his figure to be heard for miles. As he sang the sands began to shift and even the very earth around the fallen undead now rendered dead, and any could see as the grounds began to shift and let the forms steadily sink back into the earth - in the dracolich's regard, beneath the sand.

Luckily for the remaining Land-Tillers, their shield held true. But they were shocked to find that even their great guardian had been wounded by the undead beast.
Reactions were mixed. A few people cheered as the creature fell. Some of the less scrupulous mercenaries immediately headed out into the sands to forage whatever dragon bones they could find. But the majority of the land-tillers either held their heads down in prayer and gratitude or rushed to try to save the wounded. There was still much confusion and chaos.
As for Havador himself, he made a quick pass by Va'nei and Tuesirth, flying just low enough for Va'nei to hear him in her human form. "We are in your debt great ones. I wish I could say more but I must help attend to my family. Please, when you have healed, we have much to discuss concerning what happened today." Havador then flew down to meet with his people, lending healing waters to any wounded who still had a heartbeat within them.
As for the water elemental, it circled around the dragons and nodded in approval at each of them. It then flew right into Va'nei, its incorporeal body bathing her wounds in soothing waters. Finally it flew back towards the forests, where it could further recuperate from the battle. Va'nei might notice her limbs would feel cooler and less painful, though they would probably still need time to heal.

The song stopped abruptly with human forces running across the affected earth, bringing the shifting sands and rumbling earth to a stop. With a huff of annoyance, Tuesirth sits back and allows his gaze to watch as these little ones scrambled to pull up the bones he had been attempting to bury, feeling a bit insulted - but he shelved his pride. These were old man Havador's troops and people. He remembered the man from a time ago, and still held him in high regard.
His head turned and looked over to Va'Nei, where she was in conversation with the elder. And she was being tended by the water dragon crafted from the old man's magic. From his distance he didn't hear them, but assumed they has something to speak over. She was the Earthwarden, after all. He exhales sharply, feeling a twinge of bitterness, and rises onto all fours to begin a slow, heavy gait into the desert. The earth had yet to speak to him as to his next command, but he figured to return to his resting post for lack of anything better to do.

"Thank you, Havador. We will speak soon." Pushing to her feet with some difficulty, given the lack of using her hands - despite the water elemental's assistance, they still ached somewhat - she looked toward Tuesirth. Moving away from the cluster of human troops, she resumed her dragon form with some difficulty and flapped over to the departing Mountain, alighting a short distance ahead of him. She settled perched on her hindquarters, using her tail and wings for balance as her forelegs remained tucked up against her torso. It would take them some time to heal, and she was quite annoyed with herself for allowing the lich's attack to harm her. Those golden eyes fixed upon Tuesirth as he began to depart, and she inclined her head in thanks before that voice rumbled forth.
"And I thank you for your help, Tuesirth." He might think he'd done nothing, but Va'nei knew that wasn't the case.

The sound of her wings against the very air slowed his steps to a stop, and he looked upon the Earthwarden with a blank stare that eventually melted - it irritated him that he couldn't keep his stone faced composure around her. But still... she was a kind thing. Very gentle, and her heart could rival his own in regards to those smaller than them both. His gaze softened, and then his head dipped down in a proper form of a bow to her before he straightened up.
"I do as the earth wills," he replies, as close to remaining neutral as he could get. His gaze shifts down to her scarred arms, and his eyes narrow in a grimace. "... you need tending to. Will you be well enough to return to your dwelling on your own?" he asks, his tone softening just a bit.

His response drew a toothy smile to her draconic face. He sounded much like she had, prior to her slumber. How old was this one anyway, she wondered? Ah well, it was none of her business. His concern for her injury seemed to surprise her, and Va'nei's head raised a bit as her nostrils flared. She pondered how best to answer the question posed by Tuesirth. She wished to indulge in his company, but Noroth needed her.. and she would likely need help preparing a salve and putting it on her wounds... In the end, she sighed, sounding a bit sheepish, and then spoke.
"I can fly well enough.. but I may need some help preparing a salve and applying it. I live alone, aside from my youngling, and one can do only so much with a tail, even one as nimble as mine. Would you be willing to assist me in this endeavor?"

Tuesirth stares at her intently for a few moments, seeming to contemplate her request. Then, just as suddenly, he dips his head low in a bow again.
"I will gladly escort you, Earthwarden, and help tend to you if that is what you wish."
