"I think ten gold will do." Eva says as she pulls out her coin purse. She could hear a commotion outside but decides to ignore it. She assumed some drunkard was yelling about the end times or about the little people.
"My lord Duke Winchestor sends a message specifically to princess Lulu, Revelation and that abomination they called a child!" This caused people to gasp and mutter to themselves. "The land they desire will not be handed over so that they might revive something that is meant to stay dead! The time for peace talks is over. The blood shed here is for the greater good. Blessed be the hunt." He allowed his words to linger before giving a nod to his men.
Suddenly, a cry rings out as one of the thugs uses one of their swords to slash at a innocent man who was standing nearby. The other began doing the same attacking the common folk either injuring or out right killing them. Others were going up to stalls and knowing items over along with going after livestock. People screamed in terror as they attempted to get away. A rare few stood to fight but they were no match for them.

(I forgot about Rye and Diantha lol) Rye leans back in his chair and lets out a sigh of content. Earlier, he and Diantha decided to explore the lower levels of the castle. That had been a fun adventure and reminded him of the time he and Lulu would sneak down there to play. Now, he awaited for the servants to bring a bottle of wine for himself and his wife. Mason stood outside of the room where Rye and Diantha were in. He knew they didn't really need his protection but he insisted mainly to ease his boredom. Mason wanted to be out riding on his horse yet he had a duty to uphold. Tyler reaches his room and steps inside. His room wasn't dirty but any means but more cluttered with chests and boxes push up against the wall. "Now let's see what I can find for you boys." "I will go with a slice and a couple of loaves of bread if you don't mind." Eva could almost taste the apple pie. The last three groups arrived with a fourth group lingering near the edge. One of the men in charge, a man known as Zackary Cove waited until the others took their place. The people watched them curiously unaware of what was happening. After a while, he decides it's time to put this plan into motion. "People of Hollycrest here my words!" He yelled out causing people near by to quiet their voices. Diantha was currently sitting with Rye in his chair, snuggled up against him and smiling as her head gently rested against his chest. "I'm so glad we came to visit your family, Rye... and the adventure we had down in the castle basement was fun too." She said softly. Nova looked around in awe at his big uncle's room, grinning as he ran over to his bed and hopped up, sitting on the edge and letting his feet dangle. "Your room is soooo big uncle Tyler!" The boy said happily.

Sir William Redfort
William let out a swear before spurring Balius forward. He slashed downwards at the men, left and right, trying desperately to create an opening for the civilians to escape. A fairly tall man grabbed hold of him and pulled William off of his mount and onto the ground, but ended up being no match for William as the knight gripped the mans face with his free hand, and let out a powerful burst of flames, ending the brawl abruptly. Swinging his blade around, he quickly took out the legs of a few men running towards him, making quick work of them afterwards, with a thrust of his blade.
“You men!” William shouted, pointing to a group of six soldiers nearby. “Come to me!” As they quickly ran towards him, William spun his blade around, deflecting a blow behind him before countering with a deadly blow of his own. “You two, go to the Northwest Watch Tower and sound the alarm! The next two, go organize the spearmen to get into formations and start to push the enemies out of the city, instruct the archers to climb onto the roofs and on top of the walls surrounding the city, raining arrows down on these damn men, and also tell the swordsmen to split up into groups of eight, and have them work towards evacuating the citizens to a safe location within the city! Also, if you find any healing mages, instruct them to join one of the groups trying to evacuate the people. And you last two, go to the barracks to make sure all the knights know what’s going on! Go, go, go!” He shouted, and the three groups sprinted off in different directions.
As William continued to fight back the men, he noticed his friend Paul Roberts nearby. “ROBERTS!” He shouted, fighting his way towards the man. “I have a plan, hear me out!” Once he reached Paul, he heard the bells ringing from the tower he sent two of the soldiers to, and within seconds, bells from other towers were ringing as well, sounding the alarm for all who could hear it.

People screamed in terror as they attempted to get away. A rare few stood to fight but they were no match for them. Evergreen ran out of her shop when she heard people screaming and was shocked at the carnage. She snapped her fingers to summon a trio a of massive spirits, two of them were golden lion dogs and one massive winged snake. She sent the three spirits out to help the people and fend off the invaders. Once that was done she called forth one final spirit, this one much smaller than the others, that looked to like a weasel with long sickle like claws on its paws. She crouched down and send to it,” Go to Selene and tell her what is going on.” With a nod the weasel started to spin in circles rapidly until a small tornado appeared around it. Now using the wind the weasel speed of towards the castle. After a few minutes the small tornado busted through one of the dinning halls windows and stopped about the table, causing the weasel to smack down on the table. It looked around for a moment before spotting Selene and saying,” Lady Selene, my master calls for your aid. The city is under siege.” Selene looked shocked at this before looking to her sister almost as if to ask if she had her permission to act. For those who don’t know Evergreen is a good friend of Selene and a character I have not used for a fair bit, but she lived in the city so found this as a good time to bring her back.)

Rye turns his head to the window when he suddenly hears loud bells ringing. He frowns knowing something must be wrong. He tightens his hold on Diantha hoping that they weren't being invaded. For now, he would wait and see if anyone fetches him.
"Thank you young Nova. Just one of the perks of being a prince." Tyler said with a laugh. He walks over and starts rummaging around in one of the chests when he hears the bells ring. Well, that can't be good. Either way, I trust the guards to handle it. ] "What kind of stuff do you boys like?"
"Go but be careful." Luna says with a small nod of her head. She didn't know who was attacking. Her best guess was bandit. However, bandits wouldn't warrant this.
Eva shakes her head before looking out the window. "I-I think someone is attacking the city!" She could see people running and what appeared to be some men in black clothing going after people.
Paul had just finished killing someone when William came running up to him. "What's this plan on yours!" He calls out over the ringing of the bells. The noise hurt his ears but he pushed past it to see what William wanted.

Selene gave a nod in thanks to her sister before heading out of the newly broken window. She flew as fast as she could until she spotted her friend, who was helping some of the towns people while her spirits fought off the mercy’s. She could se that she had things under control before spotting William and Paul. Something in her made her go check on him first and quickly flew over to him and Paul.

Sir William Redfort
William opened his mouth to speak to Paul, but quickly stopped when he noticed one of the mercenaries chasing a screaming woman down the street. Quickly bending down, William picked up a throwing axe from one of the men he previously dispatched of. With a heave, he sent it flying towards the man, nailing him in the neck, making him crumple to the ground. William turned his attention back to Paul, and again was about to tell him his plan, when Selene came flying towards them. “Lady Selene....? Lady Selene, have you gone mad?!” He inquired, and added “You should get back to the castle and remain in safety, it’s far too dangerous here.” When she made it obvious that she had no attention of doing so, William let out an exasperated sigh, before turning back to Paul.
Due to the loud ringing of the bells, people screaming, and swords clashing, William was forced to raise his voice louder than usual so that he could be heard over the chaotic cacophony. “I’ve got archers climbing the buildings and taking to the walls, spearmen forming ranks, and swordsmen breaking off into groups to find and protect citizens as we speak. My plan is to have the spearmen form tight formations and push our enemies out of the city through the gates, with the archers picking off as many as they can. I need you to sneak out of the city, and send as many men that we can afford to protect the castle, and also send men to call the nearby soldiers, outside of the city, to arms. This needs to be done as quickly as possible. If you form a few groups of cavalry and time it right, you can blindside our enemies with a cavalry charge as we push them out of the gates.” He explained, stopping to cut down someone who got too close. “Also, to any village or farm that you send men to, to call the soldiers to arms, I think we should also have them send a rider in the opposite direction and warn all of our people in the kingdom to be on high alert. Whoever this Duke Winchestor is, is a cunning bastard. This seems too well planned to just be a small attack on the capital, it could be just that, or it could be a diversion so that they can sneak a greater fighting force into our Kingdom and hit us where we least expect it.” William finished, looking at both Paul and Selene to see their opinions on his plan. “Oh, and Lady Selene, if you wish to stay, I think it would be a good idea for you to join one of the groups of swordsmen who are trying to evacuate the civilians to a deeper part of the city, someone like you with your skill in magic would be invaluable for that task, because several are wounded and are in need of healing, and you probably know most, if not all the mages around here.” He finished, and took in a deep breath. He felt like his mind was going a million miles a minute, trying to think of every possible outcome, and counter it before it could happen. He was in a battle, not just with his blade, but also in a battle of wits, and he wasn’t going to lose to this Winchestor fellow.

Selene landed close to William and Paul and was a bit shocked at at how he reacted to her being there. With a slight scowl she thought, “I am a member of the magic council and arguably the strongest mage in the kingdom, not some damsel with no way of protecting herself.” She then listened to the knight and with a growl asked,” Do you doubt my skills on the battlefield Sir William, I am just as capable of in battle as any swordsman.” She the poked him in the chest while saying,” Also I outrank you, so I decide where I am going to be and that is right here with you.” As she said that a blush plastered itself on her cheeks after she realized what she said sounded like.

Paul glances from William to Selene then back to William. "Trust me, you want Selene on the front lines. She once used her magic to turn a man inside out." This had been more or less a rumor but it was something he liked to think was true. "Try not to kill them off to quickly." He turns and starts running towards the castle. One of the men attempted to stop him, but Paul changes into a large wolf mid run and rips the guy a new one before continuing on his way.
Eva hesitates before looking around for a weapon. "Say you got any weapons hidden away?" She questioned wanting something just in case one of these brutes comes charging in.

Revelation had heard the commotion as he watched the boys interact with Tyler. He excused himself and quickly left the castle via an open window. He had arrived just in time to hear the tail end of what the invader leader had said and he scowled. "You want a taste of what we can do?! So be it!" The Fairy King responded. "Sacred Spear Galaross, configuration-" He recited as the spear spun and glowed a bright yellow. Immediately a hundred or so smaller daggers surrounded Revelation. "Increase! By authority of the Fairy King, Incapacitate them!" He said, and immediately the daggers shot out on all directions in pursuit of the bandits and their leader.
((Should Scover have accompanied Selene to town? Or maybe snuck down to see what real combat was like?))

Sir William Redfort
William studied Selene for a moment, a smirk tried to sneak onto his face after she finished speaking, but he hurriedly erased it. ’This woman is as stubborn and unreasonable as old man Wilfred’s mule!’ He thought to himself. “I apologize, Princess Selene, for overstepping my boundaries and for speaking out of turn, I merely am concerned about the safety of the members of the royal family.” He said, before adding “I’m sure your presence will embolden our warriors spirits. They will now each fight with the strength of ten men, knowing that you are by their side.” William turned back to Paul, quickly grabbing his forearm. “Good luck, my friend.” He said, then let him go, watching for a second as Paul ran off.
As William refocused his attention on the battle, he noticed that Revelation had arrived and was going on a rampage. ’Im glad he’s on our side.’ William thought to himself. He then heard a loud, slow, rhythmic beat of footsteps. Turning his head, he caught sight of the spearmen he had organized, finally starting to advance on the enemy. “Let’s pray Roberts gets there in time.” William said quietly to Selene. Looking up, he located the commander of the archers, and William delivered his order with just a nod of his head.
“Fire at will!” The commander bellowed, and the archers started raining arrow after arrow at the mercenaries who stood below them, causing panic and fear to quickly disorder and break their ranks.

Lulu was a bit shocked when her husband suddenly took off, but could slightly hear the commotion going on in the city. She wanted to go with her husband and fight, but she thought protecting her baby Sprig was more important. Quickly she left Tyler with the boys and went to find her brother Rye and Diantha. She gave a nod to the guard before knocking on the door and asking,” Big brother, can I come in please?”
Selene groaned as Paul brought up that rumor of her, to be clear she never turned someone inside out. She had just used a mental spell that made the subject feel like that was going on. After Paul left she looked at William as she said,” You are forgiven by the way, just try and remember I am more than just a part of the royal family.” As she said this she started to rise in the air and summoned about six wolves made of lightning. With a snap of her fingers the wolves went and started bolting towards the mercenaries while she said,” I am a master Mage, equal to any sage.”

William dipped his head to her again. “Of course, Lady Selene, I will do my best to keep that in mind.” Refocusing his attention on the battle, William nodded approvingly as their enemies were starting to be driven backwards, and their numbers were dwindling quickly due to the combined attacks made by the archers, spearmen, Selene, and Revelation. William thought about using his fire powers more, though knew that would be way too risky within the close confines of the city. So, instead, he continued to eliminate any who lay on the streets, wounded, with a quick thrust of his blade. The tight formations of the groups of spearmen insured none got past them, though a few lay wounded and pretty much entirely motionless after the mass of men trampled over them.

Diantha had moved closer to her husband as the commotion down in the town grew louder. "Everything will be OK right Rye?" She asked softly. She then heard Lulu knocking on their door and she immediately sprung up, trotting over to the door and immediately opening it. "Lulu come in dear, please." She said hurriedly, not wanting to leave the mother out in the hallway with little Sprig. "Are you and Sprig okay?" She asked softly as she moved the rocking chair closer to where Rye was sitting so Lulu could sit down.

"Yes, love you have nothing to worry about." Rye glances up when he hears his sister's voice. He didn't see Revelation so he assumed he went to join in the fight. "Do you know what's going on?" He asked keeping his tone casual.
Sprig was starting to get fussy. Everything had happened so quickly where did his dad go? What was that ringing sound! He clings onto Lulu tighter and buries his face in her neck.
Zackary considered sending out the fourth squad but knew they would be dead in an instant. He bites the inside of his cheek knowing they weren't going to make it. However, he knew the risks. "It's been an honor serving you my lord." He muttered to himself. Gripping his sword tightly, he raises it and charges straight ahead. The remaining follow while one or two attempt to flee
The fourth patrol waiting on the sidelines decided to race off. They would collect themselves in the forest and decide on what to do next.
"Thanks." Eva says swirling the blade in her hand. Now she was ready to fight!

Lulu gave a nod as she offered Diantha a small smile while saying,” Thank you Diantha.” She quickly hurried herself into the room and started to gently bounce Sprig to try and calm him down before looking to Rye and sighing. “ I am not to sure big brother, all I know is that after this commotion Rev quickly took off.” She sat down in the rocking chair and looked at the two and said,” I wish I could go help him, but I thought it be better to stay here with Sprig.”

"Right lead on then." Eva said. She didn't really know where his cellar was located.
"Either way, we will get answers soon." Rye says as he sits forward his hands pressed together. "Whoever decided to attack must be either stupid or doing this for a reason. The bells wouldn't ring for bandits."

Eva takes his hand and carefully down into the cellar. Once she reached the bottom, she waits for him to join her. "This isn't exactly how I pictured my morning going." She said jokingly to ease a bit of the tension.
The fourth patrol were just starting to leave when they were intercepted by knights on horseback and a few shifters who ended up tearing most of them to shreds. Two or three fall on their knees and surrender. Zackary attempted to cut down the men in front but ended up getting stabbed in the shoulder with one of the spears and one arrow gets his knee which sends him stumbling to the ground. The few that followed were swiftly put down.
