Masaru and Fenrir head for the Western Kingdom and worried as ever is Masaru Masaru halts Fenrir a.d says "I have no choice, damnit all. Send for the war call Fenrir" it is then Fenrir comes to a sudden halt and when all of Odal hears the great howl.
Fenrir's howl shakes Odal.
The oceans erupt as the World Serpent wakes from the waters
The Cave
Malakas and Dagr seen running to The Cave entrance
Dagr running with Malakas ask "What was that howl? And why are you in a panicked hurry?"
Malakas replies "That was my brother's wolf! The howl means War has begun!"
Both Dagr and Malakas reach The Cave entrance and ser all.the birds and deer fly and run off into the distance
"I believe it's begun, Dagr. Assemble your best warriors and let's make way for Makar" Malakas tells Dagr
The Kingdom of Makar
Mista runs to the outside area of the Throne Room. Thalindra rushes to the balcony, outisde of her chambers. Victor stops a training session and rushes to the outside with his students following him. All see the World Serpent has once again risen but this time from the water moving towards the Western Kingdom's shores.
Back where Masaru and Fenrir are
"Make haste for home and Bring Makar and our allies to me" Masaru says to Fenrir then makes makeshift wings from bone and ice this time and heads for The Western Kingdom
Lorien Doriath
Aelarion and Cath face off
Galan watches on
The fists of Cath and the sword of Aelarion clash.
"C'mon old man stand tall and proud with that strength you wield that sword with!" Says Cath to King Aelarion
"Metnaðr:-" Aelarion is interrupted as his sword breaks "What?! This is impossible"
"My ambitions are unmatched Aelarion! My Metnaðr cancels out other Metnaðrs, now! So why don't we just cancel out your heart while we are at it since it looks like you lost it all" Cath says to King Aelarion as he rips his heart out
Galan looks on in shock
"You want next, boy?" Cath says to Galan
Somewhere on the battlefield
A portal opens and through it comes Myrkr using his Metnaðr to grant himself and the rest of the Jötnar passage to the battlefield.
Back at Makar, all get ready for War
Thalindra rides to front gates
Victor says to her "M'lady what are you doing? You must stay here. Your safety is important."
Thalindra replies "I am Queen of Makar, My Lord. I will do no such thing in the time of war. Until my husband your King returns I shall do my part as Makar's Leader Whom is Present! Now shall we, sir Victor?!"
Victor replies "As you say M'lady. Lead on."
Queen Thalindra, Mista, Victor, and the rest of the Makar'd forces move out and as they make some distance they are met with Fenrir
"Halt!" Says Victor
Thalindra says "It's Fenrir"
Fenrir howls once again and runs off
Thalindra tells everyone "Follow the wolf! He's leading us, now!" And the. Tells herself "Ive already sent word for the Aurora and her people. Please be okay, my love, I'm on the way"
The Cave is now empty. As Malakas and Dagr and the rest of army of Revenants ride for the Western Kingdom
Dagr says to Malakas while riding "At least we had a good brawl and lots of beer before we rude to our death, my friend."
Malakas replies "Ha only if! Victory shall be ours so we continue the drunken celebration maybe even fight again!"
Dagr grins and says "If you say so!" As they continue to ride to the Western Kingdom
Lorien Doriath
Galan is bloodied after taking straight fists of chaos to his face
"Have you had enough yet?" Says Cath
Galan replies "I can do this all day!" As headbutts Cath leaving Cath unfazed and gets thrown into a wall by Cath
Not far from the battlefield now Masaru approaches but is met with Bolverkr forcing him to land and meet Bolverkr face-to-face
"Move!" Says Masaru to Bolverkr
Bolverkr replies with a sinister grin "Make me, boy King!"
"This fight won't go as well for you as it did with my brother but as you wish!" Says Masaru as he charges Bolverkr gripping Bolverkr face and lifts him in the sky and then follows up with the words "This is high enough." Flying back down at immense speed driving Bolverkr into the dirt and then again lifting Bolverkr still gripping Bolverkr's face punches him in the gut repeatedly causing internal damage. Bolverkr thinks to himself in this moment of humiliation caused by the King of Makar "So this the power of a Malakarian King, King Cathal spoke of. It's unreal! Unfathomable! How though! I can't even focus straight enough to activate my Metnaðr! Damnit all!" Then Bolverkr gets thrown back of his head first into the ground and is dragged through the dirt by Masaru leaving him incapacitated. As Masaru walks off towards Lorien Doriath he tells Bolverkr "Tell your King it was I whom left his Right-Hand Man in such a mess, why don't ya." then takes off for Lorien Doriath
At the battlefield Fëanor is seen clashing with Alfgeir
"A skilled bowsman indeed but still not one of your arrows was able to hit me and now you try to combat with your silly little Elven daggers! How cute of you, Elve boy!" Says Alfgeir as he swings his spear low sweeping Fëanor's legs right out from underneath him. Alfgeir then attempts to drive his spear down into the heart of Fëanor but at the very last moment he moves out of the way. "Man that was close" Fëanor says to himself as he prepares another arrow and fires it off and in the last moment Alfgeir dodges it yet again with his spear. Both Alfgeir and Fëanor suddenly feel a strong winds sweep over them. Fëanor looks up and smiles and says "it's about time you arrived" Alfgeir in anger tries to thrust his spear into Fëanor but he jumps and lands on the spear following up with a kick to Alfgeir's face.
Lorien Doriath
Masaru walks through the doors and sees a beaten and battered Galan who says to Masaru as he points at the throne chair "My King" Masaru then sees the dead body of King Aelarion whose hearts lays in the hand of Cath whom sits upon King Aelarion's throne. As both Cath and Masaru lock eyes, Cath crushes the heart of King Aelarion and into dust it turns. Cath then says to Masaru "Shall we begin?" Masaru replies "Metnaðr: Skeletal Projectile" Cath moves out the way and charges Masaru lifting him through the ceiling of Lorien Doriath and the two begin to fight each other in mid-air. Taking shots at one another left to right they land on the shores of the Western Kingdom.
Cath yells to Masaru "You and your wretched House have caused enough damage to my life! Enough peril! I might not be able to cancel out your Metnaðrs like the rest but you have never faced me in this state boy!!! Cath then charges at Masaru at the same rises Chaotic Flames to rise up around following up Masaru with a punch to his heart but Masaru blocks it by defending his heart "Metnaðr: Ice Heart Shield" and then headbutts Cath but is received with a headbutt from Cath in return. Masaru is sent flying back some feet and is met with an surprise attack from Bolverkr "Metnaðr: Helheim's Wrath" says Bolverkr as a burst of light blue energy hits the back of Masaru.
"What happened to you, Bolverkr?" Asked Cath
Bolverkr replies "He did! I see why these Malakarians are a issue for you."
Back at the battlefield
Fëanor fends off both Alfgeir and Fáfnir whom is back in his dragon form
"C'mon guise this isn't fair! Two against one and I'm still somehow able to manage to hold my own" says Fëanor
Fáfnir runs into the gorund and pops of the ground and hits a fire blast erupting out from the ground beneath Fëanor but fires off a arrow triggeing an explosion to meet Fáfnir's fire blast. Alfgeir is thrown and Fëanor manages to dodge but is hit with a second fire blast, which hits Fëanor knocking him down. Alfgeir calls his spear back just by putting his hand out and pierces Fëanor in his right shoulder. Fëanor yells out in pain. "Burn him, Fáfnir! His existence is a stain on Odal!" Says Alfgeir and just as Fëanor bis about to be burnt to a crisp by Fáfnir, he is hit with a red arrow steeled arrow shot from a crossbow. Fáfnir is sent flying back into his Dwarve form. Alfgeir looks ahead and sees it was Galan whom wielded the crossbow. Galan says "And that was no ordinary arrow, it was laced with a Elven spell. Wicked Elven Poison!" Fáfnir sees his arms veins start to turn black and takes the liberty of cutting his arm off yelling "you will pay Elve!!!!"
Back at the shores of the Western Kingdom
"Since you're here we shall finish him together. You gave him a nice blast of energy." Says Cath
It's then as Masaru stand up, behind him the waters erupt and the World Serpent, Jörmungandr appears behind Masaru
