It was now an hour or two before the attack, Aric was just making sure that the tactics he id out were implemented in the brains of his knights.

  They were waiting a far away from the gates and walls of odel, waiting for a signal of the Daegal knights, from the other side.

  Aric, being here not for the first time, just couldn't help but notice how different odel looked, he remembers it being much more humble in it's building, as he knows for a fact the pace wasn't that tall, it was sticking out so much, so tall.

  "Knight Aric, may I ask, are we allowed to use magic?" said one of the knights.

  "only if you're severely wounded, with no escape, you're not effective at using it, you may need to focus a bit more, but if you know how to use it, then be my guest"

  On the right, near the horizon, the sun began to rise up, Aric knew the time was near, he told his knights to get ready, and soon enough, fiery arrows shot up, climbing the skies.

  Aric and his knights sprinted their horses towards the gate, Aric, jumped up from his horse, now in the sky, as he used his magic, granting him wings of blue color, or at least that's what it looked like.

  He dashed towards the gate with great speed, he used his legs to slow himself. Burying them in the ground, splitting the ground, as he unsheathed his sword, holding it like a dagger, from behind his back, he swung it up in front of him, lighting it with a massive fire, the fire sent as lines towards the gate, melting it.

  Aric stood there, watching the exposed kingdom of elves now, as some of them watched him, terrified, and so did the guards, who didn't react fast enough.

  Aric's knights sprinted with their horses inside the gates from around him, the elf guards were who positon, still were caught off guard, they nie were in active combat, some of the elves cut the legs of the horses making them, and so the knights atop of them, as they fought and fought.

  Aric, then with great speed, went through the knights and elves fighting. As he saw and elf knight running towards the pace to alert the king, and tell the other guards.

  He stabbed him through the back, killing him in an instant. But he wasn't alone, as some 6 guards were there, a distance between them and him, they were sprinting towards him, except one, who was running towards the other side.

  Aric, again with great speed, went towards the 5 guards who were about to fight him, before reaching them, he was in the center, as he buried his hand into the ground, and revolved around it, his sword lit in a very great and fuming fire, swinging his sword through them, splitting them in half, as he revolved, the fire even hitting the buildings around him, catching them on fire.

  Aric, then, revolved in the opposite way, splitting their top halves, into two, making sure they're dead, then, putting his foot on the ground, he jumped at a great height, towering over the kingdom, but not enough to tower over the pace, he saw the elf informing the guards near the inner walls, guarding the pace.

  As dived towards him, now a blue aura around him, and silhouettes behind him, marking his past movements. He readied himself, as he stabbed the ground when he nded, creating a massive shockwave of fire around him, killing the guards, fire burning everything around him, as he stood there, he noticed a elf mother and her child.

  Aric's expression softened, seeing them, he knew he was a monster in their eyes, his mind raced with thoughts. 'what if I killed his father? How would he live now? And his mother, she must of feel like shit, knowing her husband was now ashes' Aric thought.

  Back near the gate, they heard and saw some of the destruction Aric caused. Larkin, was now in a stalemate with one of the elf knights, a blue aura surrounded him, as he pushed off the knight, and stabbed him to the throat, killing him, now that he was free, he could help his fellow knights.

  He sprinted towards another knight who was also in a stalemate.

  "I'll do it, just like Aric does" Larkin screamed, rage engulfing him, with great speed, he went towards the elf knight, or so he thought, because since he wasn't the best at controlling magic, he had messed up the tragectory. As he went through a house, destroying the wall.

  entering it, Larkin had a moment of clearance, reality moved slowly, as he looked around, seeing 3 elf children there, holding their heads scared, it was too te to back out, his momentum continued, as he went through the other wall, destroying it too, making the house fall down.

  Larkin, stopped himself finally, as he looked back at the rubble of the broken house, he knew the children would be dead, he didn't want to believe it, he remembered Aric's words from st night

  "defy the king's orders, and don't kill any innocent women or children..."

  Larkin knew he broke that rule, soon enough, a dagger pierced through his back, Larkin watched in horror, his brain realizing the pain, looking back over his shoulder, it was an elf woman, a normal one too, she was crying, maybe it was the children's mother, Larkin thought that if she was, he deserved dying at her hands, he fell down as the life essence in him slowly faded away.

  Aric, still standing up in the middle of the fire, watching the woman and her child. Decided to go towards her, maybe even comfort her somehow. But before he could, a voice behind the wall screamed

  "stay away from her" the wall broke, it was Leoric, about to swing his sword.
