The Invasion

[VonXeno]

The Prologue:

The whispers of the Galdean Empire's advance have turned into screams and shouts. A storm of blood and broken lands has found its way to the horizon of Ainslef. Scouts will no doubt be sent to seek out any life. Life for the Galdean to dominate.

Matter and James have made but one decree for this new threat:

"Run."

"Seek new land. The time for heroes may one day come, but not now. Not against this Empire. Pack your things and seek passage to anywhere outside of their grasp. Move quickly, move quietly, and leave no trace of your life here on Ainslef."

The Galdean will send its armies to eliminate all who oppose the mad Emperor, Vanzte. No matter their creed, nor their high birth. Those who do not bow, die.

The choice is taken from Ainslef. As soon as the Scarred Eye finds land to prey upon, nothing will turn it's gaze.

Day One:

It seems the people have listened. As Galdea's ships reached the shores of Ainslef, the island was silent. The scouting parties have found nothing in their search for life on the island.

But the Mad Emperor is not pleased. For every failed skirmish and scouting party, he grows more and more impatient. The soldiers have become more aggressive in their approach, and soon the village won't be able to hide its existence.

Until every resident has made it to the eastern port and sailed off, no one is yet safe from Galdea.

That's assuming, of course, that the scouting parties have indeed failed.

Day Two:

Scouts have become aware of their losses, and have spotted several refugees escaping the island. Galdea has sent its troops onto the shore to take over the island. While their campaigns have been mostly successful, the Eastern Port has been successfully defended.

But the soldiers are not what they appear to be. Within each, the islanders have discovered the duality within the soldiers had been tampered with. The souls of these men have been manipulated into blind service to their Emperor. A few have been broken free, and have been very useful in providing information.

And one soldier, called the Berserker, has wreaked havoc upon the battlefield, destroying civilians and property without hesitation. He proved impossible to slay in single combat, so the Witch, the Drow, and the Orc planned to break him free of his hold. Although they were almost killed in the process, they managed to release a peaceful man, named Ados Aox, from the Emperor's grip.

But the sun will soon rise on the final day, when the final assault against the port is lead.


Final Day:

Day two update: Everyone has fled or is fleeing to the two ships on the east coast (thata way -->). The empire has begun marching from their ship on the east coast led by the emperor himself. Von has taken on many of the soldiers and is holding that at bay with Matter while stragglers run to the two boats. The boats are run by Hidekazu who is selective about who is allowed in and The Pirates who aren't selective but more risky, choose your poison.

Day three is starts Sunday! Good luck escaping!
