Balian's Day of Reckoning,
Told From the Other Perspective
"Now ... Kick their ass!"
Before the throne of the Archliches, Gashadokuro and Alkhayin, a white-robe-clad figure knelt beside their comrades. The time of Dúr-fán-agurth was nigh.
Trudging through the swampwater, those maleficar clambered up the talons of that great beast and rode upon its back, soaring through the sky and slicing the clouds. The Dragon's roars shook the earth and tossed its riders wildly around upon it until they reached that grand city: then, the party departed to begin looping around to find an entrance. As they crested the hill, they came upon the Druids and their beloved Koko Mama.
Bolts sailed through the air and flame spat through the grass, catching Ents aflame and burning them to their cores. Alas, amidst their fight, the tree had sparked to life and swept them all from the canyon and into the grasslands below. They tumbled and tumbled until they hit the bottom, others not as fortunate as they were crushed to death by the animated plant.
Not far from their landing, draconic silhouettes could be seen battling against a throng of undead, mechanical steeds gnawing at bone and tearing sinew from their weak frames. The Darkstalkers were the first to attack, followed by their Homunculi, a Wolf-man, and two Descendants. A Crowdrake reared into the air and dive-bombed Azdromoth's chosen as they battled the party, the former coming out victorious in the end. The Crowdrake had been trapped by Morur'ei's whip and the Leper, it's summoner, & the wolf-man were tailed closely by another Dragon Knight, Kassian.
The only two survivors from the fray fled to better grounds and then parted ways in order to witness the Lich-Dragons destruction.
And as the Leper watched Dúr-fán-agurth fall in a firey blaze, they celebrated their comrades and their success.
"The weak are meat, and the strong do eat."
. . .
"My ******* BACK. The damned livin' tree must'a been Awaiti getting back at me fer ..."
They glanced back at Koko Mama, now seemingly torn in half and charred wonderfully.
"Well. If it's so, she's dead twice, then. Stay dead, Druid."
