[Tacitus]

May: This way *points to a small tavern* It'll do.

*Trias spots Vesquire, and even though he has changed, he still recognizes*

Trias: Vesquire old friend! I see my plans are all in order, not exactly how i had planned, but actually better all the same. Long ago, you gave me a gift, the gift of Life, and i tried to reciprocate, but it didn't work out quite righte at first, of course the Shard did its job, but it needed a little help. When Kane's Shard activated at the same time your did, the chain reaction was set into motion. During the battle I was lost to the winds again, but I returned to find all in order, so it is irrelevant. *a wave of blue light passes over his body, he becomes transparent in certain areas, it passes as he become solid again* Know Vesquire, that you are now more than a friend, you are my cousin, in a sense. You have gained many of the quailities and abilities I once had. Hand me your weapons. *Vesquire quietly hands them over* From this moment forth, these weapons are much more, they go with my blessing, may they always strike fast and true. This bow, contained within is the power of the celestials, it has an endless supply of arrows forged from pure holy energies. *he pulls back on the bow as if to fire and an arrow appears wreathed in blue flames, it quickly disapates* You can add any type of elemental energy to your arrows at a moment thought for added damage. And lastly, no one can use this weapon properly but you. As for your sabres, a small portion of myself is now contained within. They will always burn with the brightest flames of Elysium and radiate an aura of Light to heal yourself and your allies and greatly damage any undead you should come across. These are my gifts to you, use them well.

Vesquire: I will...cousin...

May: This is all very touching and all, but we've got a war to win.

*she heads into the Tavern and pays everyone to get out. Any that object see Pheonix and get the picture. She clears off a table and lays out grand diagrams and plans*


May: Now! well must get to the King's Throne room and force him to sign the Treaty. He will most likely have objections, but this war has gone on long enough. *sigh* I can only imaging what the outcome of this war would have been if we would have sided with one of the two warring sides.

Trias: You will pulls us through this May, I know you will. Well, get on with it.

*She points at one the maps and starts going over it*

~~summarized~~
*Basically the Rurikan side of the valley is arranged chaotically with 12 outposts wherever they look good, the right side is missing 4 outposts [leaving 8 total] and arrows point all over showing regular troop movements, which also look quite chaotic*

May: Now, where are we going to attack, to the right, where they have little defenses, or go through the outposts? They might expect us on the right, or know that we'd nkow that and expect us on the left...I think I just confused myself...
