((Note: This event was a PvE event hosted by Suicidism, and took place in Elysium! The event was widely loved by those who participated, and sparked a currently ongoing plot line of events that have kept similar engagement among the community.))

The sun rose high over Elysium, desperately trying to cover the frostbitten landscape in a warm embrace with little success.
The grand, old snowy mountains that flanked the vassals south croaked and acted like an elderly man with weary bones.
However, the ole mountains cries were not heeded in time. And so the mountain fell, an avalanche of snow rolling down the mountains into the river below. 

 

Lunah Vanari was the first to react, breaking for the Elysium bell. Other fellow rangers and citizens of Elysium ran in her foot prints, gathering by the bell.
Our party would consist of Lunah Vanari, Ellanore Nriu, Bellicah Crane, Galenus Amaricius. Giorno Giovenco, Melkor Frey, Ezekiel Moores, Saki Shiromi, Miro Vanari and your author, Jack Crane. 

 

Grouped up at the Elysium’s bell, a wounded man stumbled and sputtered down the road, broken sword in hand. With a violent cough blood flew out of his mouth into the pavement below with a sickening splatter. As he saw the warriors gathered before him, he’d smile with solace.
“Sir? What happened? Were you caught in the land slide?” Lunah was the first to speak, approaching the man.
Galenus then rushed to the side of the injured soldier, panic spreading across his face as he bears witness to the man's maimed condition.

Another cough, more blood seeping into the gravel and earth. The man dropped to the ground, losing such strength that his sword fell from hand.
“Eada…. Lady’s… Eada….Estate….It is lost…. They were…. so many..”

A chorus of drawn swords played, as the man coughed blood a final time, falling onto the grass and promptly succumbing to his wounds.
Galenus placed two fingers on the man’s neck, searching for a pulse.
“Is he?” Lunah simply asked.
Galenus looked across the group, giving a silent, solemn nod. “Thank you.”
He whispered to the man, before rising to his feet. “Shall we go?”

“Ah, unfortunate.” Jack began. “Ti, we need to avenge the fallen stranger.”
“Armour up!” Lunah ordered, “we are going to the estate, stick together.”

The group of Rangers, citizens, and the one ISA soldier began moving across Elysium, toward the Estates.
The estate house was tall, towering over the peninsula it occupied. As the mass of people passed the tavern it easily came into view, surrounded by corpses. 

 

There were many looks of horror, and shouting toward the unnatural, before the terrifying situation was pierced by a shout- “OREN AU MORTEM!” Ezekiel yelledout. “STEEL YOURSELF MEN!”
… Ezekiel was ignored.
“RANGERS! ELYSIANS! YAK YAK YAK!” Ellanore was not ignored.

 

The warriors began running around the house, quickly culling down the undead soldiers. Their mass of numbers made an easy sweep of the creatures.

 

As the Elysians entered the home itself, a trap was sprung. The sound of rumbling began to stir in the distance, leaving little time for our warriors to react. They hastily grouped up at the wheat field, handing out provisions and equipment amongst one another. 


Galenus looked to be in deep concentration, as the sound of the horde boomed closer. “This is not good..”
A second wave marched toward the Estate, many ancient warriors clad in fading armors that were falling to dust before the defenders of Elysium. All outlined by a setting sun.

“God Bless us.” Stated Ezekiel, crossbow at the ready.
“Iron from Ice! We will scatter them here and now.” Lunah shouted in response.
Screaming echoed against the mountainous valley of Elysium; “Why….Why do you settle in our lands, and disgrace it with your presence. You all, every single one of you, do not belong here. Foul refugees from Arcas…

Emerging from golden fields, the undead rose. Arrows loosened, flying over the heads of the defenders charging through the fields of crop.
The undead approached in a horde that was easily surrounded by the defending warriors. The battle was won with ease.

Taking another break, the defenders laid in wait. Unsure whether the threat was cut down, or whether it were simply gathering forces more.

A new force arises, clad in armour covered in strange runic sigils, each shimmering in strange lights. The defenders charged forward. Both defenders and undead alike culled down the golden field of wheat, leaving unsightly wounds throughout perfect fields.

The defenders cut down the undead with challenge, however Giorno was cut off from the defenders. He couldn’t be seen in the horde of undead, cut down into the ground.
The undead, once finally slain presented the defenders with an unsightly view. Giorno, alive but barely, under a blanket of ancient bones and decaying flesh.

The sun was long gone, the battle bled into the night. Unnatural, uncomfortable silence violated the defenders ears as the undead would seemingly take a break. However a morbid mercy was given to the defenders who hated this silence so, when the sound of roars and chittering began to rattle in the distance.

 

In the distance, a sound familiar to Elysians of old began to echo as a gelatinous horror. The same one that once called the embankments of the lake home would arise. Squelching and bobbing with volatile intent. They were easy to see, gelatinous beings burning bright in the darkness.

The defenders slice the infernal slimes with their blades. The ferrum cut through with relative ease, however as soon as one was cut in two, undeath would greet the defenders foes.
They sliced, cut and pummeled, more and more slimes splitting further lighting up the field. The field was littered with out of breath defenders, surrounded in puddles of glowing slime.

 

Finally, there seemed to be another rest amongst the fighting. Though far in the fields, undead were equipped with belts across their decaying flesh, in a last ditch effort to drag the defenders into the ground whence they came.

A mixture of undead skeletons, and beings of foul smelling rotting flesh began their assault on every facade of the Estate. The defenders split up, some defending the south. Some the north.

Once more, it seemed the horde had stopped. Allowing another break.
However, within a short moment another horde appeared catching the defenders off-guard. 

 

A horde of skeletons with the strength and constitution of a troll. Lunah slammed her hammer into one repeatedly, mere splinters of bone falling off one until eventually snapping through the bone after the fifth hit.
It was apparent that this horde was the deadliest yet.

The defenders split up, as another horde of skeletons appeared around the front of the estate. A few more scattered simply from the terrifying strength of the opponents.
Jack, who stayed behind was surrounded and hastily cut down by the horrors with ease. Ellanore attempted to come to his aid, however the skeletal horde wandered over Jack’s unconscious body, as if using him as bait for the other defenders and quickly cut her down also. 

 

The horde was eventually suppressed, the skeletons but dust. The wounded were dragged back into the estate by Lunah, Bellicah and Galenus where Lunah and Bellicah attempted first aid until medics arrived on scene.

It is uncertain whether there were any deaths on this day on the side of the defenders,  and the land was unforgivingly scarred. However easily over a hundred undead were slain. What is also certain is that Elysium is land once owned, and it’s original owners do not wish to give it up without blood.
