Satisfied that the forest elf was being cared for, Lorsch made his way to the battlements and saw the ensuing battle below. He saw the orc warrioress carving her way through the Theseans, she reminded him of himself before he found Kuthras all those years ago.
He was snapped out of his nostalgia by the sight of Vermillion's magic, "Another helper?" he thought. He was certainly shocked to see so many magic users in one battle, but the help was not unwelcome. He peered at the bottom of the wall and saw the soldiers trying to slam themselves through the wall. Lorsch grabbed his staff and tapped it onto the sandstone wall. Where the soldiers were, the earth below them opened into a trench too high for them to climb out of. Lorsch had no intention of killing anything - not anymore.

Will saw Organna cleave through zombies, until one jumped from behind a hut. With a quick slash, the zombie fell into two pieces, before Will ran forwards. He sliced through zombies left and right, stopping to kick in. But instead of what he thought was going to happen. The zombie bit his boot, not getting through it, but it's hard detached from its body, the head now gnawing on his boot. Will looked at the head before stomping the ground, shattering it's mandible before Will continued through town.
Lynken Was starting to fight before windsnapper threw him into the air and Lynken threw his spear it killed two in one hit. He then saw lorsch's trench. He shot ice explosions at them form his dragon. The sudden shock of ice generated electricity which raged through every zombie 20 feet close. It roasted them with a burning ice that burned and froze he laughed. " oh now the fight begins!"
Raven would lest go of her mother and look towards the door, listening as the walls seemed to fall down, followed by heavy footsteps and moaning. She would narrow her eyes and look towards her mother, who would nod and stand up, headed into the battle herself. She would also do her best to keep these creatures at bay until Raven showed up. Meanwhile Raven would look towards Merry and Lilim, pausing for a moment before nodding and standing up, going into her bedroom and grabbing the blanket off her bed and coming back, draping it over Merry's shoulders. She would look towards Lilim as she mentioned that she didn't know her name, and would almost instantly be embarrassed.
"My name is Raven, adopted daughter of Her Ladyship..."
She says as she looks toward the door. Her eyes narrow and she approaches the window by the door, pulling back the curtain and seeing the swarm of zombies raiding their town. Witch and foreigner alike were fighting against them, and her eyes would widen as she quickly closed the curtain, before turning back to the three of them, listening to Merry's request. She would think for a moment, before going to her cauldron and snapping her fingers, a brew would appear in the cauldron. She would start going about her house, grabbing multiple ingredients and throwing them in the cauldron, before grabbing a vial, scooping it up, and bringing it to Merry, holding it in front of her.
"Drink this. It's a type of herbal brew that keeps your body heat inside your body. Should last just long enough for this battle to be over. I don't think it's safe for a child to go out there, no offense hun....it's too dangerous.."
She says, before turning to Lilim.
"And we need to move quickly. There already past the walls and inside the village. They don't know were in here but they could start busting down houses any minute now if they do get past the others."

1.Lynken would go inside the cabin with Raven merry and lillm, he would then find a table in the cabin and put a dragon egg there (wind snapper is a female) "if anyone sees this crack use the snowball I gave elesa and throw it on the floor ok?" He would then leave the cabin.
Lilim looked to Raven as she introduced herself and then suddenly set to work at her cauldron. Looking back to Merry, "I know Elesa will be safe with you, Merry. I trust you, just as you trust me. And thank you for agreeing to help me." She says as she moves to pick Merry up and move to the chair she was sitting in to hold Merry in her lap while Merry held Elesa in hers, for a moment Lilim would swaddle them in the blankets and hug them lovingly, coaxing Merry into a gentle lip lock.
Elesa would giggle as Lilim shifted them and then watched Raven work, not even noticing that Merry and Lilim were kissing. Raven would certainly be able to feel Lilims power growing, meanwhile Merry didn't seem to be losing any strength at all. The Elf and her vast sea of magic power and thorough expertise at keeping her real might hidden until it was absolutely needed... Merry wouldn't seem to be losing power in the slightest.
When Raven returned with the potion for Merry, Lilim would let her out of the kiss and shifted to let Merry sit in the chair again, still swaddled in the blanket with Elesa but at least Merry could get out of the swaddle if she wanted now. Elesa would blink and look between Raven and the potion curiously, "Miss Raven?... I know strangers are scary, bu-" she says before Lynken charges into the room with an enormous egg, spooking Elesa into gasping and interupting what she started to say.
Lilim would look to Lynken as well and could feel the cold energy radiating from him. Lilim would have to remember this one, as his prowess with the cold may be useful to her in the near future, depending on how tough the fight outside would actually be once Lilim and Raven were ready to jump into the fray. Once he left though, Lilim would coax Merry to accept the vial and took Raven by the hand, taking to a hover and leading her to the other side of the room, "It's your turn, Raven... Are you still willing to donate some of your life force? Your magic power will restore it easily, but it'll weaken you a little. Are you ready?..." Lilim asks calmly. She needed Raven to know what would be happening to her if she followed through and helped Lilim out. In the same way, Lilim was politely offering Raven a chance to back out if she had an understandable change of heart.

Seeing as the zombie-like creatures had broken into the village, Lorsch moved back onto the ground. He once again tapped his staff on the ground and some of the sand from the wall encased those that passed it.
Lorsch spotted Lynken, for whatever reason, carrying a large egg into one of the houses. When Lynken came out of the house, Lorsch decided to guard it. If that egg was what Lorsch thought it was, it was worth guarding.

the egg lynken carried into the room started cracking on the table and soon hatched! the dragon that came out was four legged black with velvet gold wings with needle sharp teeth. it saw elesa thinking she was its mother it made weird trilling noises and crawled up onto elesa before going to sleep on her.
Merry smiles to Raven as she introduces herself, "Raven. I'll have to introduce you to everyone in my group when this is all over." she says in a soft tone before gasping at Lilim scooping her up and layering her and Elesa in a multi lap cuddle. With the addition of the new blanket and Lilim suddenly swaddling her with Elesa, Merry would blush a little. She never really liked bondage, but Lilim was a special case, and one of an exceptional few that could do that to Merry and get away with it.
Merry trusted Lilim, and knew that Lilim wouldn't hurt her, and that was the biggest factor in Merry not freaking out when Lilim hauled off and kissed her on the lips. Once again, lip kisses were something Merry didn't usually care for, but Lilim was an exception. She moaned softly and allowed Lilim to do all of this to her, knowing that Lilim would stop if Merry seemed uncomfortable. Her natural magic reserves saw her maintaining her life force even as Lilim drew from it, holding onto Elesa with her swaddled arms and enjoying the warmth as she helped Lilim get back into good health.
Merry chased after Lilims lips a little when the kiss ended, but was grateful for Lilims self control. She'd pant for a moment and recover a little of what Lilim took from her, turning her attention back to Raven when offered the vial, "Oh? Thank you, Raven." she says with a warm smile, slowly reaching out of the swaddle to accept the vial. She'd hold it close to her chest for a moment, "Mmm... Having a potion in hand to combat the cold reminds me of my mother and her early winter serving of Nook Grass Herbal Tea... Used to, when it was cold out, she'd make everyone that had to be outside to work a cup of it, and for the next 4 hours the cold wouldn't have any effect on them at all... My older brother Serif was rumored to have used a cup of that tea to stave off the breath of a frost wyvern... Raven, thank you for bringing back one of my good memories." she says with a soft smile.
Suddenly the door would fly open and Lynken would enter with an egg and instructions to throw a snowball on the floor if it were to crack, which Merry assumed would mean if the egg started to hatch. All of this was happening so fast, Merry almost forgot she had a potion to drink. Before she knew it the egg was hatching and Merry was witnessing the evolution of the aura of a baby ice dragon. She sat still and watched as the baby seemed to imprint on Elesa and jumped into her lap, "Oh my... So precious." she whispers happily.
All at once it hit her when she heard Glitter outside using his Sparkle Beam to set up a line of explosions against the horde of zombified invaders, there was a battle going on and Merry needed to get out there. Carefully she'd unswaddle herself and Elesa, coaxing Elesa to hold onto the baby and stand up, "Might want to use that snowball like the man told you, Elesa... And thank you again Raven, for everything." she says in a soft tone before bringing the vial to her lips and drinking the potion.
Merry never understood why it was such a habit for some to 'mozoltof' smash potion vials after drinking them, but Merry thought the act was rather rude. So instead she'd hand the vial back to Raven and adjust the robe and blanket on her shoulders, waiting for the potion to take effect. Once it did though, Merry would be out the door and off to find Glitter. She'd still hold onto the blanket Raven gave her and the robe Lorsch gave her, but felt Ravens potion giving her a coating of warmth and protecting her from the cold. Now Merry could join in the battle, having one bit of knowledge that most always held true. Spawns of Necromancy were usually really weak to Healing magic, which was Merry's specialty.
She'd aim a hand at one of the zombified soldiers and try her luck, launching a wave of healing magic at the poor man. If things played out in her favor, the zombie would crumble to dust without much of a fight. If things played against her, she may have only made this zombie stronger and drew attention to herself. She had to try though, and more than that she wanted to stay on one focus so she wouldn't have to change gears between fending off the soldiers and keeping the allies of Wellspring in good health.

One by one, the zombies stumbled into Wellspring. Lorsch continued to strike and ensnare them with non-lethal magic. He saw that Merry had been re-energized, much to his relief, as she cast a wave of healing magic on the zombies. He had forgotten about healing magic's effect on the undead, so he was shocked at first.
Lorsch resumed his defence of the village and conjured a sand elemental to assist in his efforts. The help was needed due to the interruption of his rejuvenation.
"How shall I serve you, master?" it said in a ghostly voice.
"Drive back these zombies and protect the defenders. Oh, and no killing them - the gods shall not be receiving any souls from me anymore."
The humanoid mass of sand nodded and sunk into the earth to scope out the area in need of the most protection.

As Vermillion continues to blast, and also now cut, through the zombies one by one, he can sense the healing magic close by, turning his attention to see Merrilee using it to combat the zombie hoard.
"Ah, very nice, we have a strong healer within our group of combatants. There's so many strong people here that we should have this all handled in no time flat. Of course, I'll do my best to keep everyone here alive and well." said Vermillion
Vermillion then moves in and cuts on through the zombies again with his Durandal, pacifying them into white holy flames as he continues to try and thin the numbers the best he can. Even if they attack Vermillion with weapons, he's agile enough to block and dodge attacks as he attacks with powerful counters. Vermillion has enhanced his body to be able to block and attack with such precision and strength...but prolonged uses of this enhancement will not only burn out his magical energy reserves more quickly, but also wears out the mechanical parts within his body, especially the joints...
Regardless of risks, Vermillion continues to purify the zombies with the power of his Durandal as fast as he can.

When Raven handed Merry the potion and would nod at her statement about being introduced to Merry's group in agreement. She wouldn't be opposed to meeting Merry's friends, especially since they were willing to help her and her people fight off these soldiers. She would notice how Lilim let Merry out of a kiss, and Raven's face would instantly turn red. Though her attention would be caught off guard by little Elesa as she seemed to address Raven and begin to talk about strangers, only to be interrupted by someone bringing in an egg and leaving. Raven would eye the egg suspiciously, staring at it for a moment before turning back to Elesa. Raven would take a seat in one of her chairs and cross her legs, waiting for Lilim and Merry to finish.
"It's not strangers that scare me, hun..."
Raven would seem to be lost in thought, that was until Lilim would hover over to Raven and take her hand. Raven would blink and look up towards Lilim, before being coaxed to stand up and guided towards the other side of the room. When asked if she was ready, she was about to respond, only to be interrupted by Crow. She would sigh heavily and close her eyes, going inside her mind and having a conversations with Crow. It would take a lot of convincing and some arguing, but eventually she would open her eyes and nod to Lilim.
"Yes, were ready. Sorry about that..."
She says, before turning her head in the direction of the egg, watching as it hatched and imprinted on Elesa. The way it curled up in Elesa's lap and fell asleep made her feel somewhat calm. Though she would turn her attention towards Merry as she started talking about the potion and how it reminded her of her mother. She would listen to Merry's story and nod, as even Crow listened. She would wait until the end before nodding. Right now wasn't the time for Raven to be sharing her own stories, but she certainly wasn't going to stop Merry from sharing.
"Your welcome..."
She says and watches as Merry walks out of her house. When she was gone and it was just Lilim and Raven, she would turn to Lilim and nod, her face turning red slightly as she can hear the battle rage outside.
"Ready when you are."
"It's not strangers that scare me, hun..."
Raven would seem to be lost in thought, that was until Lilim would hover over to Raven and take her hand.

She says and watches as Merry walks out of her house. When she was gone and it was just Lilim and Raven, she would turn to Lilim and nod, her face turning red slightly as she can hear the battle rage outside.
"Ready when you are."
Lilim smiled softly to Raven and moved to slowly cup her hands around Raven's wrists, moving them to her own chest, "If you want to back out, you can push me away easily by keeping your hands here... And... I'm sorry if this is your first kiss... But in order for me to aid in this fight, I need to steal it from you... I hope you can forgive me..." she says in a calm tone, pressing closer to Raven slowly and wrapping her arms around Raven to secure her in a loving and surprisingly gentle hug, given Lilim felt cold as a clay golem to the touch and her body felt dense and tough, almost like porcelain.
Slowly, Lilim would press closer to Raven, starting slowly as she kissed Raven passionately. The kiss would be the start of it, as Raven would begin to feel her life force being drained and easily restored by her magic power, essentially draining only from Raven's stamina and by the end would leave her a little light headed and drowsey, but this could easily be shaken away. True to her word, Lilim didn't take enough from Raven to make her have to sit out the battle, and they could both now enter the fray and fight alongside the allied forces.
They weren't as alone in the hut as Raven thought though. Elesa had stayed behind for a moment and was holding the baby dragon and all of her gifts, smiling at the sight of Raven and Lilim sharing an embrace. She thought it was innocent and cute, and only once it was over and Lilim let Raven out of the hug, did Elesa finally remember, "Oops..." she says startledly, moving to set her snowflake and Lynken's scarf on the table, holding the baby dragon in one arm and the snowball in her other hand, stepping back and slamming the snowball onto the floor like she had been told to do before the egg hatched. She wondered what would happen, but she had to wonder exactly why she was asked to basically scatter snow all over Ravens floor, but she'd clean it up when all was said and done. Whatever happened next, Elesa was ready to join Merry and help out in the battle while Lilim was busy doing her thing elsewhere.

In the village, Soldiers would be falling left and right at attack after attack. And yet due to the dark magic that possessed them, they rise. Eventually they would start to split up in groups. One group would start destroying the village's buildings, turning them to nothing more than rubble. Another group would target specifically the witch's. After all, the reason they were in the village in the first place was to capture and kill the witch's that lived there, as well as destroy their homes. Some of that group would be attempting to kill them with fire, while others would be attempting to restrain and capture them. A third group would be going after the rest, the outsiders of the village, those who offered to help. It was their hope that the sheer number of them would scare them into surrendering, but it was failing. Hard. So they would try and use brute strength to bring these outsiders to their knees.
Meanwhile, Raven's eyes would travel down to her wrists as she felt them being grabbed, before her eyes followed them to Lilim's chest. She would raise an eyebrow and stare at Lilim confused for a brief moment, before simply nodding. Her face would turn red at the mention of it being Raven's first kiss, for it was indeed her first. She didn't know what to say in a situation like this, and remained silent as Lilim wrapped her arms around her and pulled Raven into a secure embrace. Though to Raven's surprise, Lilim felt extremely cold to the touch. Like clay. As odd as she found this to be, she had more important matters to be attending to as she felt Lilim press her lips against her own.
Her face would turn 50 shades of red as they kissed, and she would almost immediately feel her life force being drained out of her, only to be replenished by her own natural ability. Raven would be stiff during the kiss, as she grew increasingly more nervous despite any reassurances. It was only when Lilim let her out of the embrace that she released the sigh she didn't know she had been holding. Her face would be blushing like crazy and she would push a strand of her hair behind her ear, keeping her gaze lowered to the floor before speaking up sheepishly.
"T-That was...U-Um....I-I should probably go...Y-You know...help them...."
She says before going outside, ready to join the fray of the battle. She would look around and notice the zombified soldiers splitting up. With the hope that the other's could take care of themselves, she would go to aid the group of witch's being killed and attacked. She would run towards the group and faced the soldiers head on, before holding her hand out in front of her. Some of the falling snow would rise up towards her hand, as heat emanated from her. The snow would quickly melt, turning the snow into a small stream of water. When she had that small stream, she thrust her hands towards the fire, and the water would shoot in that direction, extinguishing the fire.

As much as Vermillion saw the zombie horde dying down just a little bit...soon more and more arise as they're now systematically splitting up and targeting certain objectives in large groups... Homes, Witches, even the visitors were not safe...
"Blast! There's too many! Just as we were about to thin the numbers too! My Durandal is not going to be enough..." said Vermillion "And my energy and mechanical joints are giving out too...we're running out of options here... If worst comes to worst...should I even activate my Release? Even if it would meant that I'll perish? ...No...not yet...I'm sure we can still win, but this is getting a bit tougher..."
Vermillion continues to slay every single zombie soldier in sight, doing all he can, but also keep his guard up in case he gets surrounded. As the zombies get lured in hopes to stop Vermillion from using his Durandal, he was forced to back up quite a bit as he continues to fight them off...but is running into a losing battle... What Vermillion hopes that doesn't happen now is that either the zombie soldiers come from behind him, or from the ground grabbing his feet.
"I wish Viviana was here to help me out here..." said Vermillion, lost in thought
Meanwhile, Viviana is still resting and going through her Cultivation Bath...it's still going to take her quite a long while until she's ready to go...
"Blast! There's too many! Just as we were about to thin the numbers too! My Durandal is not going to be enough..." said Vermillion "And my energy and mechanical joints are giving out too...we're running out of options here... If worst comes to worst...should I even activate my Release? Even if it would meant that I'll perish? ...No...not yet...I'm sure we can still win, but this is getting a bit tougher..."
Vermillion continues to slay every single zombie soldier in sight, doing all he can, but also keep his guard up in case he gets surrounded.

Lorsch's sand elemental tore its way through the zombies with ease like a hurricane through a forest. Lorsch himself was keeping an eye on the group that the elemental wasn't dealing with to make sure that they weren't changing their attack patterns any further.
He saw a red-haired man on the battlefield that looked a bit worse for wear. Oddly enough, Lorsch couldn't sense his natural energy like he could with all of the other people here - only magic. Despite his creeping suspicions, he decided to go and help him and left the main village to his elemental and the others. Lorsch, with his last bastion of power, chanted a spell and pointed his staff at the zombies closest to the red-haired man. A small sandstorm erupted from the staff's top and struck the zombies with an immense amount of force, knocking them many feet away from their original position.
Panting heavily, Lorsch asked the man, "Are you alright?"

Merry was amazed that the classic zombie weakness worked as she remembered, but smiled as she got all the information she needed, and just in time too. It seemed the undead were rising back up again as the others struck them down, so Merry would pick up the pace and spread her healing magic pressure wide, setting up a small area of effect that would heal allies and cause the undead to take damage and crumble, all without changing gears at all.
Organna would be having a little trouble with the soldiers putting themselves together, but since she got her hands on a two handed axe, things were just getting fun for her. She swings the axe heavily, chopping away at the zombie soldiers and at least keeping them at bay, though they kept pulling themselves back together again and again. Pixel notices this and rushes close to Organna, "Wishers Magic!! Miracle Heal!!" Pixel calls out before Organna swings her axe again. Pixel's spell would cause Organna's attacks to send a shockwave of healing energy out toward the soldiers she lashed out at, dealing greater damage to them and just like Merry, made the Zombies crumble to dust and stop pulling themselves back together.
Glitter and Moonlight were faced with the same delema, but Glitters list of spells didn't include any healing magic, do the equines would opt to stick close to Merry and help to keep her safe while staying in the 10 meter range of her healing magic. Reasonably, it was looking like healing magic truely was the bane of these Spawns of Necromancy. But Merry could only be in one place at a time, so the battle was still hard even with Merry's efforts.
Organna and Pixel were doing good as well, and just for safe measure, Pixel would give the same spell buff to Will's sword, just to make sure he was able to hold his own against the soldiers as well.

Will walked through town, seeing some of the dead soldiers he killed stand back up. He turned and went for them, slicing them into pieces so they couldn't get back up at least. Will heard a scream and saw a witch being swarmed by a few of the zombie soldiers. He stomped his foot on the ground, the earth cracking in a path towards the zombies before stone spikes popped out the ground, obliterating one and impaling the rest, making the ones who didn't have their head's destroyed immobile. He turned to be attacked by another one, this one knocking him to the ground. Once on the ground, He was quickly swarmed, but his skin turned into scales which they couldn't bite through. Will's eye's glowed red as a burst of energy came off him, send the zombies on him comically flying away.
Vermillion sensed and felt Merrilee's healing powers affecting a large area. It did helped Vermillion to stay calm and refreshed as he's energy levels become stagnant in order to maintain himself and keep fighting...but it can only last for so long as he's burning out more energy than he can recover, even with Merrilee's help... He also had to barely shield his eyes after Lorsch summoned a powerful sandstorm to sweep the zombies surrounding him away. Upon noticing that the sandstorm died down a bit around him, Vermillion sees Lorsch coming down, exhausted, as he then asked him if he's okay.
"Yes, I'm quite fine. I assumed you summoned the sandstorm here? If so that was a huge help." said Vermillion as he looks onward, noticing the zombies are still grouping up and changing formation all around them "Strange... To control this many zombies like this, and without anyone who is remotely controlling them from somewhere close by...we're dealing with something or someone very powerful here..." said Vermillion "If worst comes to worst, aside from using my Release, I can use one final magic spell with the Durandal...Swords of Light... Doing that should kill basically every zombie here in a very large area...but then afterwards my energy would be completely spent...I wouldn't be able to fight anymore, and my mechanical body will be heavily slowed...making me helpless... Worst case scenario my identity will be revealed... How would everyone here think of me...or Viviana...if everyone knows we're not human, nor beastman, or anything but mechanical dolls...? ...I'm afraid that everyone would treat us like inhuman monsters since we're not like anything of this world..."
Having a bit of a break in fighting zombies, Vermillion takes this opportunity to rest and plan his next move... Will he be able to use the Swords of Light technique? His most powerful light spell that he can utilize as long as he has the Durandal? Or will he not be able to use it as everyone else is doing their best to fight out the zombie hoard and winning.

Elesa waited anxiously inside Ravens hut for several minutes, but nothing happened when she splattered the snowball on the floor. Raven had charged out as a blushing mess and Lilim was off to aid in the battle as well, so Elesa was left alone with the baby dragon. She pulls her Ice charm off her belt and uses her magic to restore the snowball and clean it up from Raven's floor, then moves to quickly fancy up a nest on Ravens bed to lay the baby dragon in, making sure it was safe and comfortable.
She'd then run out of the house to find Merry and follows her lead on the healing magic with another of her charms and a mobile healing spell she had been working on, "Seal of Plant!! Healing Ball!!" she calls out as she launches a small green orb at one of the stray zombies, watching it slowly turn to ashes as her spell takes effect. She could only cast these orbs so quickly, and they took a lot of her power to use because the spell is still so new and Elesa hasn't had much practice using it yet. She'd be well practiced in it by the time things were done though, because it looked like the zombies were still coming, like the heads of a Hydra.
Lilim follows Raven out and sees her going to help the villagers and putting out fires, "Hmm... Sati's out... If I use a flame dancer around here, things could turn sour very quickly..." she thinks to herself, gaining a bit of altitude so she could see the whole village from a better angle, "Oh wow... Merry's healing magic is working wonders... Parvati would end this quickly... If anyone would be willing to hit me with some lightning... Or I could take advantage of the cold and show my true form... No... Way too many people around... I don't feel like giving away the true depths of my powers... Not yet... Hmm... Pixie form?... Nope, enemies are too numerous... Parvati it is..." she thinks to herself before swooping down and gathering some wind energy.
With the power of the wing gathered around her, she spins close to the ground and launches slicing blades of wind energy all around her, cutting a few zombies down and knocking them away long enough to get a few words out, "Everyone!! Please listen to me!! If you have any kind of lightning magic, please use it!! Aim your attacks toward me!! Please trust me, I need everyone who's able to hit me with as much Electric energy as possible!! Please lend me your strength!!" she calls out in hopes that at least a few of them would trust that Lilim wasn't crazy and in fact had a plan.
