'Katherine.' Lucifer replied, looking up at him, purple eyes shimmering. Silently he stepped back and brought up his shadows, intense concentration on his face and a furrowed brow as he managed to slice through the lock. He grinned and opened the door. 'I'm Lucifer, this is my twin brother, Amos- sons of Legion. She took us in when we were babes.' He explained. 'Found us on a doorstep.' He stepped back and watched as Amos managed to break the chains. Morcan brought forward his hands and tore out the gag, panting slightly, before standing and rising to his full height. Narrowing his eyes, he looked down at Amos, silent for a while. Then- 'thanks, Kid.' 'Alright- everyone come here and touch a part of me. Shoulders, arms, hands.' He told them, holding out his arms. Amos looked around, examining the crystal as Lucifer spoke- he didn't notice as everyone began to gather around Lucifer. Aiden placed his hand on Lucifer's shoulder, watching him carefully as he brother and the third male did the same.

Lucifer focused, eyes squeezed shut, then shadowed. Seconds later they landed in the throne room, and Lucifer, panting, looking around, before frowning. 'Sh*t, Amos.' He said, disappearing again. A few seconds later he came back, falling face first onto the floor again. He pushed himself up and jumped half out of his skin as he heard an explosion. The fight had begun. 'We gotta help ma.' Lucifer said, propelling himself to his feet and sprinting towards a nearby weapons rack, sliding out a thin sword. As he did, the magical staff which was passed down from king to king decided to drop directly in front of him out of nowhere. Lucifer yowled with surprise and leapt backwards. 'Will you STOP doing that!' He exclaimed, jabbing his finger accusingly at the staff. 'You're not mine! You're his! Go back!!' He continued to say, tossing the staff towards Aiden. 'Ancients!!!' He swore, before hurrying to the doors of the throne room. 'C'mon, Amos!'

Katherine swept over the beach on the back of Whisper. The dragoness was screeching, sound waves crashing through Daniel's army and deafening them, blood pouring from the ears of the soldiers. She lifted her hands, using her element to power the sea and send it crashing down on the beach as she passed by, drowning those left in her wake.

Aurinda's eyes flickered upward as the shadow of Whisper swept over her and she watched them quietly. The power that Katherine had developed over this single year was frightening and the ease with which she wiped out the armies of Daniel was equally terrifying. She watched quietly from where she rested still, her eyes flicking to watch her Queen and the dragon before back to the flooded beach and a soft sigh escaped her lips before she rose to her full height and began back towards the inner courts of the castle.

Amos nodded and ran after his brother, crunching his knuckles as he went. "Let's go cave some heads in." He said with a grin, as he grabbed a mace from a different rack. Not that the weapon would last long with the way he used them.

Morcan watched them go with wide eyes, thenlooked around, bewildered that he was home. 'I don't- understand.' He managed to say, before jumping as a second explosion sounded. The sound itself triggered the protective general inside of the prince; his eyes widened and he jogged after the two boys, before heading to the elite barracks. Sprinting inside of the empty barracks, he found his things- meticulously polished and set out, as if waiting for him to come home. He felt a lurch of loving emotion and swiftly dressed in his armour, tugging his bear-head helmet down over his head and grabbing his greatsword. He then stormed out and gasped as he almost walked into the now giant bulk of a red wyvern- Thorn. The wyvern roared and head butted him, nuzzling his stomach, tail lashing with furious happiness. 'Thorn,' Morcan breathed, hugging his wyvern. He then ran to his back, where his saddle still sat- he slid onto it, hugged him with his legs, and the wyvern turned and took off. Morcan joined the fray. Sort of. He was more or less looking for his men. Looked down, he frantically searched for what would be one of the only sets of silver armour on the field- his second, Ulfric. Spotting it, he grinned beneath his helmet and dropped from Thorn as he flew past- he landed nearby, in a crouch, one knee bent- a small crater shattered around him at the impact. Slowly, he raised to his feet. His enemies stared. Holding his sword by the hilt he let the blade drop to the ground, and he announced his arrival- a grating, high-pitched screeching sound emitted from the blade as he began to walk and drag it across the ground. His enemies cowered and started to back away, eyes wide as they realised just who the giant before them was.

Aurinda moved quicker now, her blood starting to race and a smile creeping to her lips as she spotted the red bulk of Thorn fly overhead. "Welcome back Morcan." she murmured to herself before she snagged her helmet from where she'd set it. Brushing back some hair with her gloved fingers she took in a deep breath and tugged it on over her head and tossed the visor down over her face. As she rushed onward she picked up speed and sent a quick prayer to Alchemia. Send me healing and guidance on the battle field, retain my resolve and let me continue fighting until it is done. With that her slender frame approached the battle unafraid, her own broadsword resting easily in her hand. She took a single moment to analyze everything going on before Aurinda was in the fray. Her movements were crisp and swift, her sword nearly a blur as she swung and took down her enemies. Her own armor was a polished silver, though colored more golden to represent her Queen. As she continued through, her eyes caught the silver glints and the crashing sounds of Ulfric and Morcan's fighting and a smirk crept to her lips. Then she went back to it, a swordsman to nearly match Ulfric but quicker when she fought, and a bit more risky when it came to dodging blades.

Ulfric grinned widely as he heard the scraping, knowing full well what it meant. He let out a bellow, and slammed his foot into the ground, causing the ground to crack and rise behind the retreating soldiers, blocking off their escape. He then joined Morcan, swung his sword with one hand, and swiftly disposed of half of the trapped soldiers.

He then joined Morcan, swung his sword with one hand, and swiftly disposed of half of the trapped soldiers. Morcan's back hit Ulfric's- he was home. Releasing his own ferocious roar, his red eyes glowed like a demon, and then he was moving like one on the field. He cut through the rest of the soldiers around them with ease, exhilarated and full of repressed power from his time being shackled. Once they were disposed of he swung around and pulled Ulfric into a tight embrace, smacking him on the back. 'I missed you,' he gruffly panted, keeping a keen eye out for more danger. 'You'll have to fill me in on what's happening once this is over.' He looked up as Whisper shot overheard, releasing that horrifying scream of hers- it was focused, and so only hit the enemy. 'Holy-' he gasped, watching as the soldiers fell to their knees, their helmets echoing the sound and turning their heads to mush.

Aurinda moved quickly and easily her movements fluid and quick as a viper's, disposing of quite a few that came to her path, leaving a trail to her current battle. With that, she swung the last of the current wave down and panted a bit. Taking a moment to regather herself. Her eyes flickered towards the wall Ulfric had created and she laughed gently before heading over to greet her General King and welcome him home. A lot had changed in their absence.

Ulfric grinned at him. "I think it best I fill you in after this fight is over, y'know?" He laughed, before turning and seeing Aurinda. "Oh, hey. We have company." He grinned from under his helmet.
Amos looked at the battle from atop one of the buildings, waiting to spring an ambush on an unfortunate group of soldiers that had separated from the main battle. He had followed them for a while, then got ahead of them, before finding his spot. When they passed below him, he crouched, then jumped, slamming his fist into the ground, directly in the middle of the group, and sending them flying.

Morcan pulled away from Ulfric, nodding at him, before tensing as he saw Aurinda on the battlefield. A single glance told him something had definitely changed during Katherine's reign- but now was not the time to address it. 'Cover me.' He growled, before flying back into the fight, his sword delivering devastating blows upon the soldiers. He noticed that Daniel's army was bigger; knew they had to use a different tactic. 'Fall in!' He yelled, his booming voice carrying to the other elites. With excited roars at their generals return they began to fall in behind him. Morcan stepped back into the gathered group, and they raised their shields as one, in a turtle formation. 'Advance!' He commanded, and they began to troop forwards. Katherine grinned widely as she watched from above, feeling a fierce surge of pride and excitement at seeing the elites back with their general. Aiden... he was home. She glanced back at the castle. But now was not the time for a reunion.... she had bigger problems- much... much bigger.
---
'Look at him go,' Lucifer breathed, also on top of the building. He was clutching his bleeding side- he'd been caught by a blade- and was now relying on Amos' protection to get him out of the fight alive. He didn't have enough energy nor concentration to be able to shadow himself out of there, and didn't want to be separated from his brother. He watched him take out some soldiers and grinned, but it turned into a grimace with a wave of pain. 'Ow.' He hissed, knowing Amos would feel it too.
---
Katherine released a hiss as she watched Tyrius heave his bulk into the sky- she hadn't fought Daniel's dragon yet, he hadn't used him. But now he was, and she felt her first spike of fear run through her. He was bigger than Neptune, bulkier, stronger, and definitely much, much fitter- and Whisper couldn't take on Neptune. But whisper wasn't alone. Releasing a loud roar, she watched as Thorn leapt off the side of the castle to rejoin the fray, bellowing a challenge to the earth dragon, which released a deafening roar in return. Katherine flinched and covered her ears, then glanced down at the Parapet's- she would have to control this from the ground if they were going to take out that dragon. Dropping down she landed with grace, and ran to the edge.
---
Whisper coiled in the air and span to stare at Tyrius, feeling a shiver of aggression shoot through her body. This place does not belong to you. she snarled, before propelling herself forwards with elegant ease. Flying wingtips-touching to Thorn, she screeched to summon Ladon to the fight, and then again as she passed by Tyrius' head- she was barely even the size of that- to deafen him. He shook his head, and continued on his way. ill have to try harder than that. she thought to herself.

Amos climbed back up next to him and nodded, watching from where they were sat. "How you doing?" He asked, rubbing his side slightly as he felt Lucifer's pain. "If its annoying me, its hurting you." He frowned, his head tilted.
Ladon roared and took off from the side of the volcano, from where he had been observing the battle. He soon joined Whisper and Thorn, his scales raised in a threatening gesture as he flew.

Aurinda followed the commands quickly, falling into the formation near the center as a support than forward shield. Her strength was her downfall when she was surrounded by men of their size. That seemed not to matter to her though, as they pushed forward she never once let a single ounce of fear into her veins.

He frowned, his head tilted. Ladon roared and took off from the side of the volcano, from where he had been observing the battle. He soon joined Whisper and Thorn, his scales raised in a threatening gesture as he flew. 'I'm okay.' Lucifer gasped, fliching as more blood spilled from between his fingers. He managed to grin shakily at his brother before glancing back out over the battle. 'I'll heal- I think it's the pain stopping me.' He said, gasping again at another wave. --- Tyrius bellowed at Ladon and brushed past him, slamming him to the side with his head, and then biting at Whispers tail. The dragons spiralled around him; they used their elements to attack; whisper screeching, thorn spewing lava, Ladon firing plasma blasts- all it seemed to do was unearth mud, trees and dirt from him. It didn't seem to hit any flesh, nor muscle, and Whisper began to feel helpless as she tired; and then Thorn took a runup. what on earth are you doing?! she shouted at him, spiralling out of the way of one of Tyrius' wings. My best! Thorn replied, before roaring and rushing at Tyrius head-on. The dragons sped towards each other, and then Thorn lowered his head to lift his massive horns- a boom echoed out over the field as the two collided, tiny thorn against Tyrius' head- and a huge crack split up Tyrius' skull. With another bellow which eachoed strangely, he began to fall, injured and disorientated. Katherine frowned as she watched this happen- something green was glowing in his chest. She picked up a nearby spear, moving now on instinct. 'Legion, guide my blade to pierce his heart.' She murmured, rearing back her arm- and releasing the spear. It flew true to its target, whistling through the air, and seemed to speed up before impact; it sliced into the glow on Tyrius chest and he roared again, the noise sounding horrible distorted. And then he exploded. Trees, dirt, plants- his arms head, body, all of it- made up of earth. It scattered to the ground, thudding heavily over the Bra'ghanian army- and Katherine watched as something small and emerald green hurtled inside of the castle courtyard, crashing down. Gasping, she sprinted down from the parapets to run to it. What on earth was it? Was it his heart? She came to a halt beside the object. Hard, glimmering scales, of the most beautiful emerald colour, and massive wings- curled in a fetal position. As she gently touched its back with confusion, the baby dragon raised its head... And blinked four very, very sleepy eyes at the Queen. Aurinda followed the commands quickly, falling into the formation near the center as a support than forward shield. Her strength was her downfall when she was surrounded by men of their size. That seemed not to matter to her though, as they pushed forward she never once let a single ounce of fear into her veins. They cut through the army now with ease under Morcan's strong command, finally revealing to his men and Aurinda why he was known as the War-beast- not Lord. Lord was far too fancy for his abilities on the battlefield. Soon enough they had cut down the numbers and Daniel called for a retreat, screaming with anger from his position fighting off Varezian soldiers. They'd stolen his dragon. They'd taken him. He'd have his revenge.

(Little tiny baby dragon is adorable!!!)
The retreat ordered their fighting came to halt and Aurinda stood there, watching the cowards flee, though getting misted with a few chunks of dirt and mud that sprayed down from above. They'd destroyed that monster of a dragon, a huge chunk out of Daniel's pride, and she smiled beneath her helmet. A heavy sigh escaped her lips as she seemed to let out a breath she was holding and her eyes moved over to Morcan, she'd truly never seen such an amazing display of power on the battlefield. It was right to be terrified of such a figure as himself.

(( TYRIUS UPDATED FORM
Tyrius/340/Varezi/Earth Celestial Tyrius has glimmering green scales which look like rough-hewn emeralds, and four large wings- six legs, and beautiful, chocolate brown eyes. He is 15ft long and stands at 8ft tall when straightened. His jaw is tough and built for crushing bone, with thick teeth in his maw. Tyrius is a gentle soul, very friendly and quiet. He is nervous around most people and it takes much patience to worm your way into his heart- when you do, he will love you without end./Tyrius was placed into a magical coma at the young age of only 3: his growth was halted and a biological body, thrown together by dark magic and earth element was built like a cocoon around his small body. Tyrius was unconscious for 337 years of his life, and will take a lot of adapting to the new world around him./Bloodrose ))

Morcan, chest heaving, ripped off his helmet and turned to face Ulfric, glancing up at the circling dragons above, which were roaring with triumph. He looked at Aurinda, then slowly cast his gaze over the army, noting the amount of women. 'You and Katherine have a lot of explaining to do.' He warned Ulfric. 'Dismissed!' He shouted to the elites, before starting to make his way to the castle, expecting Ulfric to be at his side without needing an order.
---
Katherine slowly stroked Tyrius' back, blinking slowly back at the four staring eyes as she whispered soft comfort to his confused gaze. Slowly he unfurled himself and got unsteadily to his feet, shaking off excess dirt to stumble over to her, as if he'd only just hatched. She caught his head in her arms and held him steady. 'Easy... easy.' She soothed him, stroking his neck. She waited for the Royals and her shield-sister to join her- no doubt they'd seen Tyrius crash into the courtyard and would be curious. Aiden could continue to wait until all of this was finished with.
