Throughout the battlefield clashes between the beastkin and the humans rage, with the beastkin moving further, and further into the humans' lines.
But despite all the chaos the infantry is being put through a far more important battle is happening close to the castle, a fight between the two cavalry units.
As the cavalry from both sides meet for an initial skirmish, the humans are blown out of the way by the Merark riders. They decimate each, and every horse they come across ending their lives in mere moments.
With the numbers of calvary being about equal, the humans are quickly finished off and surpassed. Then the beastkin push their way through towards the damaged flank of the infantry units in front of them.
Cillian leading the right group of calvary says, "Now that they are all dispersed from the mammoths, we should be able to run over them all. Even if they somehow manage to fend off our breakthrough point, we should be able to create more now."
As Cillian moves toward the squadron close to him, he hears a loud sound that makes one of his ears bleed. Soon he turns his head to the area in front of the castle and within the U-shaped encirclement of the human armies.
There he sees five large gongs on moving wagons, and in the middle of those trumpets are a group of archers riding merarks. The wagons disperse from the archers, and then from the wagons riders beat into the gongs playing at a frequency so loud and so intense that all of the wonderbeasts in the area lose control of themselves.
The merark, and vanir mammoths start to rampage causing chaos through the battlefields as they lose the ability to differentiate between friends.
This effect spreads to some of the beastkin and especially the bat beastkin, who become completely frozen by the sounds they're receiving.
Coming up to Cillian one of his men says, "Those are the anti-beastkin weapons from the eastern continent!"
Another one says, "Does that mean Charles has allied himself with the East."
Looking around, Cillian says, "Those wagons need to fall."
Jumping off his merark which is doing its best to hold itself together, Cillian says, "Good boy, just stay here and rest."
Cillian moves to one of the horse riders, and says, "Watch the merarks, I need this."
Taking the horse, Cillian then looks at the rest of the cavalry that are able to move, and says, "FOLLOW ME!"
He starts to head towards the wagons carrying the gongs, which play louder and louder sounds as they move close. Many within the calvary start to bleed from their ears as this happens, but Cillian never stops.
"I am Cillian the swift, I am a warrior who will always ride faster than his opponents to hunt those that stand in his way. I need to be fast and strong, so I can take the burden off of Ronald even if only a little bit, so I can't stop here!"
As Cillian and his men approach, arrows reign down on top of them, but the horses are fast enough to outmanoeuvre them, and Cillian continues to charge towards the wagons.
At that same moment, a young man with a turquoise mantle over his shoulder walks in between the archers. He takes out a metal bow which amazes the rest of the archers beside him.
Then he says, "This is as far you guys go."
In his metal bow, he weaves an arrow of spirit energy and then shoots it directly at Cillian's horse's head which flings him to the ground, and then Cillian on the ground says, "Was that an arrow? No, it was too fast, and I swear I sensed spirit energy."
Cillian looking up sees the man with the mantle holding a spirit metal bow, and then moments later an arrow composed of spirit energy pierces his head.
As Cillian lays on the ground with his last breath he mutters, "Aisling, Ronald, sorry."
The man with the mantle shoots down all the rest of the cavalry, and as he does the soldiers beside him say, "Don't even bother shooting anymore, because now that Guido the unreachable has stepped up none of them will ever come close to us again."
Guido continues to send arrow after arrow towards them, and as he finishes, he places a feathered hat over his head, and lies down saying, "Now my men, you handle the rest!"
One of his commanders says, "You do realize if she catches you lazing about like this, your fingers will come off."
"I know she is obsessed with me, but no woman's words can ever make me change who I truly am. A lazy, bed lover!"
Suddenly a pink butterfly appears in front of his face, and Guido quickly picks himself up and starts shooting arrow after arrow with fear in his eyes.
Back in the battle between the infantry, now that the vanir mammoths are freaking out, it has become far easy to herd them away from the infantry, though the beastkin dressed as humans still move throughout the ranks spreading fear and confusion.
They attack all who their eyes lay on, using the smoke screen to its fullest, and as this continues one of them lays eyes on someone with a purple mantle across his shoulder and an eyepatch over one of his eyes.
As the man with the mantle sneezes, the beastkin moves towards the man and tries to stab him, but he quickly grabs the beastkin dagger and then moves his body and the beastkin hand behind the beastkin back, while using his other arm to choke the beastkin.
Whispering into his ear, the man says, "You guys seem to be having a lot of fun running around in our ranks and killing all of our people. I thought you beastkin were all about pride and superiority, but this is rather cowardly.
But you see unlike you animals, we humans have something called compassion. It allows us to love one another and remember those who we care for.
I have used that principle to remember the face of every single member of our army, and you are not one of them my little coward. Neither is that one, that one, or then over there," the man says as he points each of them out.
The beastkin being restrained says, "You humans know nothing of compassion."
The man puts a smile on his face, and says, "Oh it seems I was wrong. If you are such a compassionate being the best punishment for you will be to see this next bit with your own eyes."
Suddenly the humans in the area turn and start to group up and kill the beastkin the man pointed out. The beastkin who he holds says, "What's happening?"
The man then moves his face in front of the beastkin, and the beastkin says, "A legacy," while looking at the legacy that is being activated on the man's left eye.
"You see my legacy Melusine, allows me to share my sense and mind with anyone I have marked beforehand. Right now, they have my eyes, so each one of them can see all of the beastkin I can, and act on this."
As his allies are cut down in front of him the beastkin turns around and says, "Who are you."
The man cuts the beastkins neck with a dagger, and says, "Ogier the All-seeing."
Soon Ogier continues from army to army, sharing his sense and snuffing out all of the beastkin who hide among them to strike them from the shadows.
Finally, on the bottom right area of the U-shaped encirclement, the humans struggle to fight against the beastkin as the mammoths try and break their way through.
But as they fight the humans start to lose morale as the force in front of them is far greater and stronger than anything they could muster against it, but in their moment of need another man wearing a mantle walks up.
He is over 7 feet tall and is a hefty man covered in black and gold lion-like army, with a brown mantle over his shoulder. Looking at all of the shoulders around himself, he says, "You all did a good job, and let me take over from here."
The giant man walks over to the mammoths which are rampaging towards him, and he plunges his hand into the earth, then says, "Become my blade."
He rips his hand out of the earth, and soon a great sword made out of the earth comes out of the ground and into his hand. Then with one glorious downward swing, the ground around him manifests a giant spike made out of earth right into one of the mammoth's killing it easily.
Facing his blade towards the rest of the mammoths he says, "If you fear death, leave at once."
The mammoths start to turn around out of fear, and the men around the man shout, "Turpin the heavenly!"
"Don't praise me, my men, right now go find your allies who are shattered around the battlefield and rescue them. We need to save as many of them as possible before it's too late."
The moment the humans start to move, a group of beastkin coated in spirit energy attack Turpin, and say, "You won't be leaving here trump card."
Striking them back, he says, "Trump card?"
Soon on the opposite side of the battlefield, a wall of briars burst forth from the ground, and destroy everything that stands in its way, and then the beastkin in front of Turpin says, "You humans really fell for it!"
Turpin turns his head, and behind the wall of briars sees an uncounted-for calvary unit, then says, "So your main goal was to distract us so you can break through on the other side and allow your leaders to escape."
"You figured it out too late!"
Turpin reaches his hand into the air, and his spirit energy decreases then he says, "Wind become my blade."
The wind in the area forms into a curved blade, and Turpin says, "The only fool here is your own leader if he thinks for a moment, that this was unaccounted for."
Standing in front of a squadron of humans, Ronald using his legacy makes briars that rip their way through the humans, regardless of whether they use spirit energy or not, none can make their way even close to him.
Gritting his teeth, Ronald says, "Cillian where are you? I need you to hurry up or I will have to escape without you."
A group of the scarfed humans rush toward Ronald, but with a violent and furious swing, he kills every single one of them leaving no one left with the will to oppose him.
But when his eyes lay on the pathetic humans who have lost the will to fight his rage increases and his briars follow suit striking down all of the humans who stand in front of him, creating a blood bath.
With only one remaining, he sends a briar towards him, and the man who he tries to kill gets up and rushes towards the briar with tears in his eyes, in a pathetic fashion that gets a chuckle out of Ronald.
But before the Briar hits it is cut in two, and falls to the ground, and moments later the human is nowhere to be seen.
Ronald turns his head side to side until he feels a surge of spirit energy which he moves his eyes towards, and there he sees a man with blue hair, and gold stripes within it, with a black mantle over his shoulder. He wears mostly white cloth with gold designs over it and has two flowers in his head with dried blood on them.
This man looks directly at Ronald, and from that look alone Ronald knows who stands in front of him. "Charles Animus."
