α single charge is all it took this time. Thousands of Covenant soldiers pushed forward. The clanging of steel deafening all those who dared to venture even remotely near the battlefield. Screams, bloodshed, agony. Aytheln, Veluc, , Mayrwen, Naazeri, Istrán, Vyrekh, Quill, Neia, Moraelyn, Velythvulla. The forces of the Union, The Ashen Folk marched in together. For their blood they would fight, for their blood they would die. First the cavalry charged, then they followed. On foot, clad in heavy Deamonsteel plate. The battle was over as quickly as it had started. A singular charge, all it took to dislodge whatever cohesion the Haeseni and their allies had within their ranks. Aytheln cut down a few of them, just as the others had.

 

Victory was theirs, a swift massacre, a swift victory.
