Traci charged after them, her speed clearly faster than the archers. On her left arm she formed a round shield of metal, in the other hand she grasp the sword off her back.
[spoiler]I'm confused about positioning lol. Are the archers supposed to be up on castle walls above her or...?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I figured that Traci was on a tower, or at least at a position that matched the wall's height lol. Yes, they're on the wall, aka the ramparts right now.[/spoiler] [i]The few archers that actually decided to fight Traci would then turn back, releasing flung arrows towards her being. A count of six, in total, two of them tightly clustered for her chest while the other four had gone to her left. The shield may work, but moving away worked too..[/i]
-
She kept running after them, shield raised to deflect those aimed at her chest while she simply moved away from the other ones.
-
"She's not stopping-!" [i]A few of the sprinting archers would become victims as they fell behind, as Traci finally found the captain. The captain drew his shortsword, dropping his bow as he beckoned Traci forth.[/i] [i]A duelist.[/i]
-
Traci slashed through all of the soldiers in her way without losing any speed, eyes glued to the captain. She kept her shield raised and sword pointed forward, ready to charge right into him.
-
[i]The captain wouldn't stay in place so that Traci could rip through him with the sword, so he would maneuver to the side, as Traci would pass him. His back was against the castle's looming walls, the battlefield behind him.[/i]
-
Traci slid, her momentum causing her to take a few moments before she could change direction and run back at him. She sheathed her sword as she ran back toward the captain, pulling a knife out and throwing him at it with that hand.
-
[i]The captain would suddenly slash, successfully pulling off an Aragorn as the blade of his sword collided into the blade, as it whistled off to the side with a screeching clang. He was left open for attack, as he overswung his blade.[/i]
-
Traci jumped forward, shield raised and aimed at the captain's head. Her free hand pulled the sword off her back in the meantime.
-
[i]The captain would attempt to bring his sword down, but it was too late, the shield already slamming into his face and sending him close to the edge. He dropped his sword, only to fumble for his dagger in his stunned state.[/i]
-
Continuing with her momentum, Traci charged forward. She slashed at the hand grabbing for the dagger with her sword.
-
[i]The captain would be successfully pushed off, then, the knife flying out of his hand as his body would topple over the ramparts, a faint yell heard before he slammed against the earth. The siege had begun to end, with the Tribune's remaining forces drawing back, as the Trayvens, Dojo warriors, and Valkyries had begun to hold the front lines, a battering ram crashing into the gates.[/i]
-
Traci gazed over the battlefield, sheathing her sword on her back once more. She attempted to find Freya in the chaos, hoping she lived.
-
[i]Freya seemed to have been lost, in the waves of purple and white.. until she seemingly rose from the ocean of warriors, pulling up a soldier of Trayven before yelling a barely distinguishable battle cry[/i] - "[i]In omnia paratus![/i]" [i]The chant seemed to inspire the charging Trayvens, as they had increased their assault. Yet charging towards Freya, or rather shifting towards her, was a serpent of rock and concrete.. a creature of magic, bound to attack her.[/i]
-
"Freya..." Traci stepped back before sprinting forward and jumping off the wall in the direction of Freya. She rolled as she hit the ground and without hesitation sprinted toward Freya.
-
[i]Throughout the chaos, Freya would begin to push forwards, now beside the sieging battering ram. And yet, she hadn't noticed Traci, as the monster underneath the Trayven's feet drew closer and closer..[/i]
-
Traci would then dive forward, attempting to tackle Freya out of the way of the beast. "Freya!"
-
[i]Freya would turn back only for a moment, those light orange eyes laying upon Traci's tackling form before they were both sent flying to the ground, slamming against the bloodied earth.[/i] "Traci-" [i]The creature of earth would then suddenly shoot up from the earth, the serpent of concrete and dirt letting loose a terrible roar as Trayvens and Tribune alike were sent flying. It searched for Freya, with a singular red eye peering for her.[/i]
-
Traci stared at Freya with a serious expression and tone in her voice. "Stay. Back." She got between the creature and Freya, pulling the long, black sword from her back. The small girl swung in an attempt to threaten it and keep it back.
-
[i]The thing didn't seem too intimidating, as the colossal form began to shift, now a goliath standing at ten feet tall of rock and concrete. The being would stare down upon Traci, before letting loose an exposing roar.[/i] [spoiler][url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=noKMOas7l40]Trevor Morris - Titan[/url][/spoiler] "No! Swarm the beast! Form ranks - [i]now[/i]!" [i]Freya's commanding voice rang through the battlefield, as the creature soon found itself surrounded, or at least being surrounded..[/i]
-
"This isn't too bad..." Traci sheathed the sword again and formed a large sledge hammer in her hands instead. She lept forward, swinging at a leg.
-
[i]Instead of standing still, the thing would bring it's leg up, the foot going over the hammer before it stepped backwards and crushed a charging flank entirely - Trayvens and Tribune alike, their agonizing last screams muffled by the bloodied, rocky foot.[/i] [i]The beast would then swing from overhead, bringing down it's right arm in order to crush Traci.[/i]
-
Traci raised her left arm, the impact of the hit causing her to fall to a knee. She somehow managed to hold the fist up though, not allowing it to crush her. She was visibly straining herself however and her arm shook as if it might fail to hold back the large rock fist. "I could probably use some help..."
-
[i]While Freya was using a polearm.. she still kicked into gear, or rather her commanded troops did: a command was shouted as the beast fell to a knee, it's left heel shattered as it brought up it's fist and returned attention to the Trayvens.[/i]
-
Traci groaned and stepped back from the rock monster, observing the creature. "Hmm..." A huge block of rock appeared a couple feet above the creature.
