The Fight Rage On

Russet's laughter echoed through the chamber, filling the air with a sense of foreboding. "You foolish mortals. Your bravery is commendable, but it will be your downfall.

"Kill them!"

With that, the conversation reached a conclusion as the army marched in on Ren and the others.

"I'll take Russet," said the Princess.

"I'll take care of the soldiers," declared the Prince.

That meant Ren was left to deal with the players. Not that he was complaining.

On the other side, Eric and his group were in a dilemma when the battle started.

"What should we do?" asked Serine, confused at the chaos of the battle that soon took place.

"Fight, of course." Xian pulled his staff and began to chant. "Isolde, cover me!"

"Egh?" Isolde didn't know what to do and was torn about whether to attack Ren or not. "B-but . . ."

"I guess we have no choice." Serine summoned her beast companion, an Ice Bear and a White Dire Wolf, all of which leaped in Ren's direction.
