(taking over dear Luinnar, taking over with, but Zelkhar has another motive)

The Lands Of Ilra Mactu layed in rest, farmers waking to the morning and getting on with their day. Merchants opening their shops, travellers leaving inns and getting on with their journey. The King waking up into a nice morning in his safe kingdom until...

Zelkhar arrived, accompanied by around five hundred humans yet these were more of civilians than warriors. They stood before the sight of a ruined village, the walls burnt and crumbled, few old shacks remaining and nothing more.

The humans walked in as Zelkhar quietly watched them walk in, they had also brought many supplies and building materials. The village would be rebuilt, mines would be dug again, the smithies would again get to work not to mention revenge would be theirs. The villagers got to work right away, Zelkhar himself stood upon the gatehouse that was burnt yet never seemed to have fallen all tough some had obviously tried. Soon enough a new group of 300 humans arrived from the mountains, men dressed in black and brown leather armouring.

They all had hoods over their heads and mask before their faces, they all carried spears and rapiers on their belts, around a third also carried bows and arrows. They quickly set up a camp around the ruined walls and also began to help with the rebuild, now they would only wait for Zelkhars allies to appear.

OoC.that's my cue I suppose?

A cloud was rising in the east, and hoofbeats could be heard. One of Abbas' horseman ahead of the rest was in sight.

Denaris floated in the air above the village, invisible to the naked eye and watching Zelkhar's progress below. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned one of his many wraith steeds. He mounted the misty pegasus and, dismissing his invisibility, glided down to the village.

The pegasus landed magnificently in the village square. The startled and uneasy villagers scrambled out of its way as Denaris astride the apparition galloped down the street. Dramatic as always, he dismounted at the gatehouse.

"Zelkhar, my kitten friend. How goes your health?"

Rumour appears still more magnificently, not to be outdone. A vortex of flame swirls on top of a roof, and a huge black sabertooth bounds out of the fire, the strange werelight dancing on the cat's sable fur.....

She leaps down into the midst of the villagers and stalks through them, creating a path of unease before her as the people sweep aside.......

[font=Papyrus, sans-serif]Khasian flew over the mountains, accompanied by Naushida and hundreds of bats, murders of crows, and companies of gargoyles that came from his citadel. Below him, one hundred werewolves, for the werewolves had ambushed and infected fifty more human warriors just recently, and two thousand wolves navigated their way through the mountains. Khasian saw the destroyed village that he was supposed to go to. Already he could see the undead horsemen of Abbas and the tigers of Nuanla. Denaris had already arrived as well as Rumour. It's time for him to make his arrival. He flew towards the village, bringing his army with him. The humans, already reeling from the arrival of Denaris and Rumour, were absolutely terrifed at the sight of the two vampires and their army. Khasian and Naushida landed with a flurl of their cloaks. His wolves and werewolves growled impatiently as they waited for more instructions while the crows, bats, and gargoyles circled around them and the villages.[/font]

He raised an eyebrow at Rumour, then caught sight of the others.

"Has it ever crossed anyone's mind to afford a bit more subtlety when marching armies across the continent?" Denaris pointed out loudly, thought he was admittedly impressed by Khaisan's legions and Nuanla's tigers. "How merciful of us to warn our enemies of our arrival before we even present to them our first attack."

Rumour, still in cat-form, laughs in a purr-like way at Khaisan's arrival. "Beautiful...... Mere poetry...."

The ever loquacious Denaris was unable to resist a comeback. "I don't see your army," he replied in typical hypocrisy, feigning surprise.

[font=Papyrus, sans-serif]Khasian then took notice of Rumour and Denarius that stood nearby. "Ah, the usual critics" he mocked in a light voice. "I know that moving such an army requires a lack of subtlely but I travelled through the mountains, a region far from human contact."[/font]

Rumour disappears like smoke on the wind and reappears beside Denaris, on the other side, once again in human-like form. "I need no army..... I am my own....."

[font=Papyrus, sans-serif]"That is very apparent," Naushida said in a cool voice. [/font]

Rumour's onyx eyes flash dangerously as she glances at Naushida. She moves towards her, almost slithering in her walk. "And what is that t'you, little bat-child?......" Her voice is a hiss as her tongue flicks out like a snake's.....

[font=Papyrus, sans-serif]"Little bat-child?" Naushida repeated in a similar hiss. "There is no reason why you should be angry. I merely pointed out that your abilites are as strong and myraid as an army."[/font]
