The West Gate [POST HERE FIRST]

The Knight stopped, the green haze surrounding him hies glowing eyes went from person to person. Behind him several more glowing eyes appeared from the haze. Knights, citizens, rangers. Aaedan's people. stepping slowly toward the gate. The knight closet however had settled his gaze on Bridie. He raised his sword and release a scream; a wheezy death rattle erupting from his throat, loud and unnatural.

The Knight charged, wild and undisciplined.

The knight dropped to his knees, his head stared at the ground. Seemingly a quick, clean, and easy kill.

The knight stood back up. Blood was running from the wound in his head, the arrow stuck out of the helm squarely between the eyes. It released its roar again and resumed its charge.

The rest of the monsters at the gate had spotted the party now. They charged the gates cackling and screaming. The city had been turned undead.

Levi comes forward and electricity surges from his hands and eyes. He moves the electricity around in his hands, channeling the energies before releasing chain lightning from his fingertips. Those struck by his lightning attack would be scorched.

The wave of monsters was hit by Levi's lightning. Those few who caught fire erupted into flame and quickly burned to ash. A weakness in the mosnters, an aversion to fire. The rest of wave collapsed unable to stand the lightning that coursed through them.

However more of the glowing eyes had appeared in the fog behind the open gates. More were coming. Running to attack what ever lay in their path.

The massive force of undead weilding wepons, some doning armor, rushed out of the city. Their prey fearfull and close.

Levi was starting to be pulled away, but when the horn blew and Nyx arrived he head toward her. Levi recognized her by the armor she wore. "Princess Nyx! Do you know what's happening? Why are there so many Undead?"

"I..." The King was dead? Levi knew the King very well, they had been friends since his adventuring days. He knew this must be heavy for the Princess with Jorech being her father. "Nyx, you must live through this! Don't lose your way! My Lady, I am yours to command, I will use everything I have to help take our city back!"

Levi kneeled in front of Nyx. If Jorech was indeed lost, Nyx was the leader of the Aaedanians now.

Tania saluted, "As are the Rangers!"

The newly appointed queen looks out across the vast number of men kneeling to her, swearing themselves to her command. Her first at as queen will be to siege her own city. A rule began in blood. The blood of the dead and the blood of the living. A sad look came across her face. Then a fury replaced the sadness.

She could hear more undead slowly approaching the gates, drawn by the sounds most likely. Her eyes glowed bright like her fathers she raised her sword, "The dead approach! Aaedanians, form a wall at the gate and let nothing through until we have a proper defense in place! Those not helping fight get to work on creating a fortification against these undead. Riders! Spread through Aaedan and gather as many civilians as you can. It will take all Aaedanians to hold this line! I need 5 riders on fast horse brave enough to send word to other countries; It will take more than all of Aaedan to retake our city! Tribunes spread word, setting the undead ablaze is the best and fasted way to kill them."

She turned to Levi "Grand Magus, use your magic however you see fit to save lives and hold the line. Tania, gather the rangers"

She was giving orders as a queen would. Her orders were followed to the letter. The 3rd Legion set up a phalanx using the gate's narrow entrance as a pinch point for the undead. Others of the 3rd went to work creating a fortification to better fight the undead.

The Fastest riders of the Redsteel Legion went to work riding through Aaedan call the civilians to arms while the fastest prepared for a hard ride to the other countries in the world. Several stayed on stand by to flank undead should the phalanx fall.
