Khalfani †



So many lost.. and it's my fault...

The Desiertan peered into the papers upon his desk with his back turned to the door. Each sheet either had a request or the information of the newest members. News had spread far and wide about Paradise Dawn and their fight to defend the North against giants. It was unheard of since the olden days. All he could think about is the amount of Paradise Dawn guild members that were lost in battle, how many people were killed and had to be sacrificed to see the mission through. The Sun eater was a son of war, but who knew that this could have triggered him like so? Was it because he was the leader that he felt so deeply about this?

Khalfani stood in the commanders office, rubbing his fingers through his hair, stressed, annoyed, but mostly frustrated with how things had been going so far. Sieghart was already in shambles following the giant attack just a few days prior. Nobody had the time to really recuperate and organize their own thoughts and now there was word of a group of the same types of monsters spotted outside of Sieghart mountains. Go figure. Luckily though, this time the giants weren't marching in the hundreds. Most likely these beasts were the ones that Paradise Dawn had missed. Still, it was enough to put Khal on edge. The power of these giants were as great as minor dragons and some of them even showed potential of being as strong as named dragons. It was bothersome to say the least. Hundreds of people from the city and Paradise had been lost. Some were killed defending the North and others were killed for simply minding their own damn business.

Khalfani sat on his desk, eyes drained of all life as he glared forward at his most comrades. These few people were the leaders of the guild, some showing up later than others like Cailyn, the older sister of Aeris who had fallen into a deep coma. Then there was Yori who had been quite new to the guild but had proven to be an asset despite whatever scale to measure power mages used these days saying otherwise. With these members in front of him Khal was confident that they could end this whole situation. It was a gordian knot and quite frankly, the rogue prince was tired of dealing with it. However, one thing was clear now, The North's defense system needed to be strengthened. Khal was on edge. Between the King sticking his nose everywhere, monsters popping up and the people of the North already restless and yearning for liberation, the giants wouldn't be the only quandary.

"I know we're all recovering from all this but we still got some cleanin' up to do. Giants have been spotted in Orchidia and Worth Woodsea. I thought that by destroying the source they'd all just vanish, but apparently that isn't how it works. It's my bad for allowing us to drop our guard so soon and believe me when I say it won't happen again. Virtually every creature has access to magic these days so we've got reason to believe that this is only the beginning of our fight to defend the North. After this, we'll celebrate our victory and after that, we'll come back stronger and more fearsome than ever. Never again will any being be able to penetrate our defenses, and if they do, I'll personally tear them limb from limb until there is nothing left. Any enemy that even thinks of threatening the North from here on out, will be obliterated with no remorse." Khal said as he clenched his jaws, eyes widened as he imagined his foes buckling at the knees before him, his tone as cold as ever. For a moment he looked unlike himself.

"We'll go out in teams of at least two. Take as many fighters as you all think you'd need. We can never be too sure about how this ends...and if any of you die... I'll take that as an act of betrayal." Khalfani said as he threw his cloak over his body. There was work to be done.

#2Yuurei

Yuurei

Yuurei was busy caring for the people in Rush Valley. A lot of people’s injuries were being treated. The streets of the town had been stacked with rubble. They were moving things around as they were planning on rebuilding as soon as possible. Still, it would seem like his ability was needed somewhere else. He had made his way to Khalfani’s office, when he stepped in, he could feel the mood. It would seem like he wasn’t the only one that blamed himself. Still, he had Haru to help him through that, which he was happy about.

He knew that he could only do what he can and if he wasn’t there, then things could be worse. Yuurei leaned on the wall with Renji on his shoulder. They would look over to Khalfani as they waited for him to instruct them. They didn’t have time for idle chitchat because they had places to protect. The Nephilim would hear the locations where the other giants were located. That was good to hear because he knew where he was going. He cared more about the forest life than the city.

“Thank you for telling me where to go. Worth Woodsea, here I come. Haru come with me please I would like you by my side. As for dying, I won’t let that happen.” He said to her as he would open the door to Khalfani’s room.

Yuurei would make his way towards where the scout division was waiting for him. These were the brave soldiers who followed him. He had left a bunch of them in Rush Valley to make sure everything there would go smoothly. Those here would look at him as he had approached them.

“We have words that there are giants around Worth Woodsea. We will be heading there and making sure that we will kill all these giants. The trees are perfect to fight and jump behind the giants and cutting their heads off without losing higher ground. Let’s be the heroes of the North that people want us to be. I will take on your pain, and I will remember all of you, so let’s go and save everyone from destruction.” He said as they would cheer out loud and readied themselves.

Once he heard them Yuurei would be on the move with Haru on his side. He was a half-elf, so he wanted to protect the forest. There was also a settlement who were secluded from the world of Fiore. He wanted to protect them as well as the wood elves that lived in the forest.

#3Haru Akagi 

Can't Catch a Break [Intro][PD] Empty Wed Apr 06, 2022 11:03 pm

Haru Akagi
Similarly to the light mage, Haru had been busy aiding the township of Rush Valley, rescuing those that had been caught under rubble but still breathing, and clearing out the body of those that hadn't been as fortunate. They had barely gotten to the point that they could begin planning to rebuild certain structures when the call had come for them to return to Paradise's guild base.

The neko's face fell upon being told more giants had been spotted. Recent memories of them flashed through her mind as she struggled to stop her body from shaking at the thought of having to deal with them yet again. By far the youngest member of the guild, and far less knowledgeable in what terrors the world held outside of her own childhood experiences. While she put on a brave face in front of her fellow guild members, the fact remained that the sights and sounds of the giants the last time they had fought them had left the young girl absolutely shaken to the core.

She thought she was used to violence, but this was a whole new scale to the fighting ring she'd grown up with. While some fighters pushed others to their limits, it was rare anyone ever actually died, and never had she seen people been munched upon or torn limb from limb in such a graphic way before. The thought of having to deal with them again caused her heart to race and a feeling of panic grew steadily from her stomach as it climbed up her throat. It wasn't until she heard Yuurei speak her name that she was free from the nightmares swimming in her head. Snapping back to reality as she realised she'd missed most of Khalfani's words while the light mage was ushering her to fight alongside him once more.

Following behind him, they'd soon find Yuurei's scouts, alongside Haru's own rangers who had clearly gotten the message she had sent them prior to leaving Rush Valley. She'd let the light mage finish his speech, listening intently to his words herself as she had missed most of the information given to the squad leaders prior. So they were to go to the forest to eliminate the rest of the giants, at least there wouldn't be as many people or buildings for them to destroy there, or so she assumed. She honestly didn't know that much about the forest itself.

As Yuurei finished his speech, Haru would nod to her rangers, ensuring they had heard his words too, most of which looked tired still from the previous battle, but ready to raise their weapons to fight alongside the light mage's scouts. She would explain to them how she had used her ranged weaponry to garner their attention, distracting them from Yuurei and allowing him to finish off the monsters easily, lowering the risk of getting into melee range with them. She instructed her handful of soldiers to split up alongside his scouts, and attempt a similar approach, using themselves as bait from a range, to allow them to get the surprise on the idiotic creatures. Hopefully, with this strategy, they could at least reduce the number of injuries and deaths amongst the scouts this time.

Location: Sieghart Mountains
Tag: @Khalfani
Word Count: 670
It had been a couple of days since the raid on Sieghart. Yori could hear the sound of drills and hammers going off from outside his window. Typically, this would leave him in a cranky mood, but things were different today. For starters, he could not manage to get any sleep last night. Every 15 minutes, he would wake up in a pool of sweat because of a nightmare. The details were fuzzy, but he knew that all of his bad dreams were related. They either showed him watching as giants brutally ripped apart his guildmates or him falling prey to one.

The nightmares started to get so bad that he refused to sleep altogether. As hours went by, he began to hear the voices of people that lost their lives in the raid. And man, were they not friendly. Lots of them would direct their anger toward Yori, blaming him for not saving their lives. Some would reminisce on the past, and others would talk about nonsense. In one of the nightmares, the injured man he tried to save on the battlefield appeared. He almost mistook him for a demented person the way his face turned and twisted in odd ways. Even his demeanor and the aura around him seemed off. The injured man was infuriated with Yori for not reaching him in time. "Maybe if you weren't so weak I would be alive right now." he would say.

The adventure knew that there was some truth to what the injured man had told him deep down. If only he had killed the giant he struggled with more quickly, there could have been more time to find the injured man. He spent the rest of the morning playing through the events in his head, drowning out all the sounds around him. There was only one other nightmare that had shaken Yori to his core. That was of his sister, Riko, and his best friend, Ryota, dying at his hands. It had seemed that the raid brought up old trauma within the young adventurer. These were topics much too painful for him to speak on at the time.

It was not long before the world caught news of the raid on the Sieghart Mountains. Undoubtedly, there were mixed feelings about the events that had transpired there. Some believed that the sheer extent of damage to the area showed Paradise Dawn's inability to protect its inhabitants. A bunch of people ridiculed Khal's poor choice of judgment and leadership. A few even went as far as to move away due to the uncertainty of living conditions. Yori felt for these individuals. All of these people had fair, justifiable reasons to question the place they once called home. Even as Khal delivered his half-baked speech, it was apparent that the people had felt as if their trust was misplaced based on their facial expressions.

"How typical of a mage to think that they can just put a bandaid over a situation. These people must mourn their dead, refind their purpose; only then will their spirits be lifted." he thought in disappointment. Instead, Khal was a bearer of bad news, almost instantly mentioning another threat to the lands. "They've just gone through what could be the worse day of their lives, and he thought it smart to share with them that that danger was still somewhere roaming around." The empty promises he fed his people were not enough to restore their faith. What these people wanted, no - demanded, was justice.

One sure thing was Khal's frustration over the situation. Thankfully, he had the decency to show some form of reaction to the countless losses in the raid. Who knew the amount of respect he would have lost had he not done that. After all, he was about to inquire that they all risk their lives out there again. "We'll go out in teams of at least two. Take as many fighters as..."

Yori fastened his grip around his spear as he breathed in and out. "Death calls."

Cailyn †


Cailyn Umata


Even the gods can't save you now
"My dearest mother, why do you allow such creatures to walk the earth? Stain it with the color crimson made from my comrades?" Cailyn asked herself as she looked out into the distance to see giants threatening there lands once more.

Cailyn had came much later into the fight the first time, and her lack of knowing anyone made her mostly indiffrent to the deaths while still attempting to stop the ceaselessness of it all. But this time, the fight was more personal, her sister Aeris still in a deep coma but now she also felt the desire to protect her people, friends, family, her home and that desire was blossoming in her like a song that needed to be sung.

Although the number of the giants hadn't reached as high in numbers as the assault on the guild itself, she remembered that dealing with even one giant was bothersome, a small number like a militia could still cause devastation in it's wake, those devastations according to what she was seeing through a telescope was now heading towards Orchidia and Worth Woodsea.

The guild laying claim to the North, giants splitting off and overtaking it was not something she was sure not even one of them would allow despite the various reasons why. Such a situation called for a meeting as they all, including her flocked to Khalfani side since he was there leader and they needed a plan, the obvious course being complete elimination.
Joining Khalfani and the others there tanned monarch was less then pleased, vowing to up the guilds defenses but also to rip anyone who dared threatened the guild, his rage, understandable given the circumstances.

So with Orchidia and Worth Woodsea being directly threatened, and with the raid losts up to date they could not spare a second longer hesitating on what to do, the order was clear, go to the area's being stormed and complete eradication of the giants threatening the area's. Eyes turning from her light brown to crimson red Cailyn would turn towards Brone that had been in the room. "Bring  any guild members that follow you, I'll go on ahead with mine. Orchidia buildings are old, a few toppled buildings and Orchidia would be utterly destroyed! I'll hold them off until you get there.

Whistling loudly Cailyn walked to to the window and leapt out of it as she continued to whistle and head out towards Orchidia as her people became coming from the crevices and corners of the guild to run with her to battle in Orchidia.

Brone Heavyaxe
When Brone Heavyaxe received word that he was being summoned to the guild master's office, he noticed the dreaded look on the messenger's face, so he asked of the reason. When the messenger stated it was concerning more giants, the dwarf immediately made his way to see Khalfani. The work he, Cailyn and the defense troops done had taken up much of their downtime. Though they weren't on assignments for scouting or recon, they needed to prepare and send forward resources for settlements that needed the support. And when they had finally seem to reached succession, rest and relaxation seem visibly near... that is until the summons.

The dwarf entered the guild master's office and recognized the core members had already arrived. Khalfani had started his announcement as Brone leaned against the wall. He grunted, though trying to keep it as silent as possible, hearing of the giants' rampaging gnawed at his nerves. Many of the guild members had suffered fighting these creatures, Brone witnessed first hand a number of them had lost their lives, but despite such tragedy, the rest of them kept fighting with great resolve. Now these giants continued their destruction and the guild was answering the call to arms. Brone nodded his head, understanding the assignment.

Members poured out of the office after the announcement. Before the dwarf could turn to Cailyn, she was quick to speak first, letting him know she'll be heading out first. All he could do is give her a nod before she quickly made her way out the window. Brone then left the office, his head held high, though the images and voices of those who fell in battle rang within his mind, he kept his composure, reminding himself that they all understood the risk and still fought proudly and with courage, and with that, he felt pride in his troops.

Brone made his way into his room and retrieved his new battle armor. The golden surface reflected light that showed it's beauty. This will be his first time donning it and as he grabs it, he thinks about how his father and grandfather must have spent months forging it. "Fight with us, da" he said.

The dwarf walked out into the open courtyard where his troops waited, he stood before them with a stern face, his golden armor shining brilliantly, "Onward!" is all he said before his troops saluted.
