《The Immortalai》The Naval Assault
Advertisement
Its been a week since the infiltration of Okitera and the reveal of an incoming naval invasion. Reinlas stands at the docks overseeing the quick construction of battle ready ships as well as seeing the ships finished get out of port with soldiers on the ships preparing for a fight at sea. Linra walks over to the docks.
"This is unknown territory for us" Linra says
"Indeed, best I can see us doing is with water magic being used to manipulate the sea" Reinlas says
"Agreed, if this small navy doesnt work then we will be defending from against a seige, something we haven't had to do as of yet" Linra says
"We will pull through regardless of how it goes" Reinlas says
"Hopefully so" Linra says
Dock workers and soldiers keep working quickly to construct the ships, Reinlas sees Farenisle and Liara helping them load arrows as well as armours on board for the fight. Reinlas walks over to them.
"Should the navy fail you two will need to aid in the fight here at Reinholm, we cannot risk being overrun and having Reinholm taken. Today we all fight in that case" Reinlas says
"Lets hope the mandatory training you instituted to keep everyoen safe bears fruit then as well" Farenisle says
"Indeed, we will fight and keep our home safe" Liara says
"I know you will, just keep together and stay vigilent during a fight" Reinlas says as he walks back over to Linra
"I swear to the others of the first if any harm comes to them I will lose it" Reinlas says
"You and me both" Linra says
Hours pass and the final ships move out of the docks with the last group of soldiers on the ship they seem hopeful of the coming fight but they know it will be hell. Laraka walks over to Reinlas and Linra.
"So they've set off, first preserve their lives" Laraka says
"We are trying..." Reinlas says with a sigh
"Apologies, I came to talk about Erina shes concious now should you wish to speak to her" Laraka says
"Quickly, I must help ensure this cities defences are as best they can be" Reinlas says
Laraka teleports to Reinholm castles guard quarters where Erina was assigned so she could be watched as she rested.
"My king, its an honour" Erina says as she begins to get up
"Stay down, dont want you to get hurt again from whatever happened" Reinlas says
"Alright" Erina says as she lays back down on the bed
"So I want to know about what happened to you, erratic magic was ruled out because of the fact you have no tear in your soul and obviously you have no magic randomly shooting out of you" Reinlas says
"Well, best I've been able to figure out is it's not completely different from erratic magic only in the fact that something is different with my soul" Erina says
"How so?" Reinlas asks
"Well first off I have no main magic, as far as I have been able to guess and just find out, my soul didn't develop the main magic 'area' of my soul correctly and instead of having a main magic permenantly chosen by whatever magic I had used first. I can choose my main magic for a time, each magic having an eye colour for my eye to change to and signify the change. There is a consequence however the other magics after a time will also join in with the current main magic, this is obvious when more than one colour is in my eyes, if all of them are in my eyes then they are all classed as main magic but then my eyes begin to bleed as you saw my body begins to be a bit more brittle to itself hence why when I fought multiple bones snapped without me even getting hit" Erina says

"Interesting, I'll assume the grey then is just no main magic in play then" Reinlas says
"Indeed" Erina says
"Ok then, should you be feeling alright now then you can resume duties just keep safe with your magic, do not let it overwhelm you" Reinlas says
"I've done well so far only allowing it to happen when needed" Erina says
"Good, anyway I must be going" Reinlas says teleporting away
Laraka looks at Erina.
"Your ability to switch main magics could help those out at sea currently, water magic will be a big factor in how the fight at sea will go" Laraka says
"I am well enough to fight, if you want me out there just say the word" Erina says
"Then go" Laraka says
Erina stands up and teleports her armour on and her weapons onto her. Erina quickly teleports to the docks and senses where the closest ship is and teleports onto it. She sees a fleet of ships numbering numbering in the thousands, some of the non magic users are wobbly on the ship while those with magic dont feel different through their connection to the ocean with water magic.
"If this is the size of a fleet we can make in a week what will they have?" Erina asks herself
"They will have much worse but its to be expected, most of us expect to lose our lives today" Scyera says walking over
"We do not" Lieran says walking over as well
"Weren't you two apart of Keireens kingdom?" Erina asks
"Yes but we never fought at sea, our magics never complimented the ocean so Keireen thought it useless so we were on land soldiers" Scyera says
"Oh, fair enough" Erina says
"Though he never realised the greatness of what could be mist covering the ocean while one army is able to see through easier while the other is blind" Scyera says
"Add in my soldiers to spread that mist faster or even onto ships as an attack method and well, Keireen for all his knowledge of warfare regarded certain magics as useless" Lieran says
"Though ever magic user can use standard magics, even mist though none have a monster in theres like you scyera, and altered conjurations are rarer like yours lieran" Erina says
"From what we've heard your magic is also quite unique" Lieran says
"Given how it knocked me out for a week it can be not fun" Erina says
"Fair enough" Scyera says
A spotter in the crows nest looks down to everyone.
"I SEE SOMETHING COMING TOWARDS US!" The spotter shouts but hes quickly killed by what seemed to be a boulder hurtling through the crows nest
"SCYERA MIST!" The captain of the ship shouts
Scyera quickly reacts and the msit covers the fleet but the projectiles keep coming, arrows, boulders and then something crashes into the ship causing it to go below deck. They thought it was a boulder and started to return fire but out of the whoel came a metallic hand.
"DELANTRAMITES!" One soldiers says as she turns her bow to the delantramites face but her hands are quickly grabbed and crushed causing the soldier to scream in pain as the delantramite pulls her down into the lower deck of the ship and crush her head
Scyera jumps down and with a quick motion stabs through the delantramites eyes and straight into the brain with her scythe. She quickly digs her scythe out of the war beasts face and levitates its body out of the hole and throws it back towards Keireens fleet, she uses her advantage of being able to see through her own mist perfectly to do it and she makes a hole through one ship bad enough that it crackes in two as the water floods it. The enemy soldiers teleport back to safety on other ships.

"They are still firing even through the mist" Erina says as a fireball lands in the ocean next to her
Scyera climbs back up to the others.
"Lieran, mist soldiers!" Scyera shouts
Lieran conjures a platoon of mist soldiers.
"ALRIGHT OUR COVERS GOING DOWN EVERYONE PREPARE FOR A BIG ATTACK!" Scyera shouts as the blackened mist of scyera goes into the mist soldiers and the mist soldiers get red eyes
As this happens Keireens fleet is able to see them and begin to aim better with arrows, fireballs, giant waves and throwing delantramites. Multiple ships get destroyed quickly and soem stray arrows take out the captain of the ship Scyera, Lieran and Erina are on. A giant fireball begins to head there way and as Erina moves to absorb the fire another soldier sues water magic causing a geyser infront of the ship which extinguishes the fire ball.
"Good work!" Erina shouts
"Thanks!" The soldier says
The mist soldiers conjured by Lieran and that have Scyeras darker mist in them get levitated onto a smaller boat in the ocean and a mage with water as their main magic sends the boat hurtling towards Keireens fleet and the mist soldiers jump onto the two closest boats and kill soldiers as they jump to other boats and explode causing Scyeras mist to spread across the enemy fleet and letting Krenatur begin to destroy ships by the dozens.
"Is it really necessary to use those mist soldiers?" Erina asks
"Its faster unless im over there then I can spread it as far myself but the mist soldiers can do some damage before and after they explode so its both saving time and being a little more efficient" Scyera says
"Fair enough, I guess" Erina says
A barrage of arrows comes towards their ship from new enemy ships going around the mist, Erina quickly makes her eyes red and she makes a barrier of fire around the ship burning all the arrows coming towards this ship but it doesnt protect those on other ships as they see many shot dead if mages didn't work fast enough or shields werent put up. The soldier who stopped the giant fire ball uses water magic and moves their ship out of the way as a ship that was made invisible had tried to ram them, the wave generated that pushed their ship back allowed for the enemy ship to go past but they drop anchor and make their ship visible and board the ship.
"DEFEND YOURSELFS" The soldier shouts as enemy soldiers pour onto the ship getting locked in combat with the non magic users
Scyera quickly joins the fight clearing away quite a few with her scythes added length and longer blade, Lieran conjures mist soldiers which also join the first some reduce their form to jsut mist and go into enemy soldiers then they become tiny soldiers which begin to attack the insides of the soldier killing them quite effectivly. Erina changes her eyes to their natural colour as to not get destroyed by her own magic and joins the fight.
"Anyone with metal manipulation as their main magic?!" The soldier who saved the ship from being hit shouts
"I do!" Another friendly soldier shouts
"Dead delantramites under the sea! USE THEM!" The original soldier shouts
That person gets to the back of the ship and sees the delantramite bodies at the bottom of the sea and lifts them much easier and faster with hsi magic launching them through the enemy ship quickly tearing through it and making the ship sink fast as enemies surrender from that ship so they can be taken captive and survive. The new captives are quickly put under the deck though they are still in danger of arrows coming down from the hole made by the delantramite earlier. While Keireens fleet seemingly take a minuten to regroup for a better plan everyone counts the dead.
"The captain of this ships been dead for a bit, someone needs to take charge again" Lieran says
"Definitely not me, I can fight alongside others but I can't really order them hell my magic makes being a lone wolf easy unless you are backing me up Lieran" Scyera says
"True and I've never led people before so wouldn't be good with it" Lieran says
"What about that soldier who managed to both save the ship and order someone to destroy the enemy ship?" Erina asks
"That would make sense" Lieran says
"Hey you! Over here!" Scyera shouts to that soldier
She runs over.
"What is it?" The soldier asks
"We need you to take control of this ship" Lieran says
"Wait seriously?" The soldier asks confused and in a bit of disbelief
"Yes, you have already been leading some people and keeping the ship safe, consider it a feild promotion, we do technically have the authority to do that being in the Elite Warriors" Erina says
"Ok then" The soldier says
"What is your name?" Lieran asks
"Daiera" The soldier says
"Alright then Daiera, get up to the wheel and take your place" Scyera says
Daiera nods and runs up to the wheel and begins to move the ship back into the position its meant to be in as Keireens fleet comes back and its in full force attacking the left most side of the Geirlanth fleet and they attacked hard breaking through and subsequently attacking the fleet from behind and infront halfing the crews on the ships to attack and defend both sides. The situation seems hopeless but a glimmer of hope comes in an unexpected form, with the waves constantly being throws around and used as weapons by both sides a creature from the ocean has had enough and rises from the water.
"WATER DRAGON!" Some Keireen soldiers are heard shouting
The water dragon begins to attack both sides ships but as they have the bigger fleet and therefor the more people using the dragons home as a weapon it destroys more of keireens fleet.
"This is a chance, we need to either press an attack or escape while we can!" Daiera shouts
Everyone looks at eachother and with looks of determination they look to their newly appointed captain.
"Press an attack!" Everyone shouts on Daieras ship, chanting it and the other ships hear the chant and decide to do the same
The Geirlanth fleet begin to push as hard as they can against Keireens fleet catching them slightly off guard as they are attacked by the fleet and the dragon. Tykema are sent out of the lower decks of the ships some go to the dragon while others drop bombs on the newly determined Geirlanth fleet, the bombs destroy multiple ships and they use their own dragon features to their advantage by speaking to the dragon and convincing it to attack the Geirlanth fleet. As the dragon looks at the Geirlanth fleet and roars in a rage as it flies down into the ships destroying multiple and going underwater and using what on fire dragons would control their fire breath to send collosal waves and geysers to shoot towards the ships killing thousands of soldiers in a few simple attacks. There is only a few ships lefts of the Geirlanth fleet and they are beginning to pull back, seeing that the day has been lost.
"SCYERA COVER US NOW!" Daiera shouts
Scyera brings the mist over the remaining Geirlanth ships and Daiera telepathically talks to the other ship captains.
"Follow my lead!" Daiera telepathically shouts
"Fine we'll try anything by this point!" The other ship captains say
Daiera looks to the people on her ship.
"Remaining mages! Get barriers around us quickly do not allow water through them at all!" Daiera shouts and the mages quickly do it and the mages on the other ships do the same
"Please fucking work" Daiera thinks to herself as she uses her water magic to sink the ship along with the barriers under the water and scyeras mist follows as its in the barriers letting them be concealed from even the water dragon
The other ships come down with them and they see the water dragon eyeballing their mist clouds underwater it seems confused and doesnt know what to do so it leaves them alone as Daiera and other water mages use the ocean to esentially push them along back towards Geirlanth. Daiera sighs in relief that it worked and Erina alongside Scyera and Lieran walk over.
"Nice job Daiera" Scyera says
"Thanks, so many of us were lost but at least we can survive and warn that we failed" Daiera says
"Indeed, Daiera take a rest, you are this ships captain and this alone must have taken you quite a bit of magic allow me to take over moving the ship" Erina says
Daiera nods and stops moving the ship then walks down to the lower decks as Erinas eyes turn a deep ocean blue and she continues to move the ship.
"So, soon our home will be beseiged" Lieran says
"The Battle for Reinholm is upon us" Scyera says as she looks out into the ocean behind them seeing the massive warships shadows on the ocean floor....
