Race: Satyr
Gender: Male
Class: Berserk
Silver: 495
The Satyr noticed his mistake only too late; for he said that fauns did weild weapons, but that didn't matter now. In a single swig, he drained the tankard of mead to a mouthful and placed it roughly on the ground before him. A soldier came eand asked if Girfic was coming, but Silanus answered for him.
"Satyr." He muttered gruffly.

Girfic looked for a moment at the hand before him, then gripped it tightly and rose, knocking the tankard to its side, spilling what remained of its contents on the rough ground. He went to his tent and emerged a minute later, his belongings in a bag over his shoulder, his shield to once side, his axe in another.

"Ready to go." Girfic spoke to the soliders. The firelight was reflected in their weapons and in their armour, and certainly his shield and axe as well. He glanced over the mountains, where the air was shifting, then he saw a dark being rising into the air. And just as the satyr realized what the monster was, the great dragon let out a deafening roar. It started to fly towards them, then as the Satyr pulled out his axe, ready to charge, then the beast let out another roar, not one of anger, but of fear, then started plummeting to the ground, dead.

The first of the valkyries has arrived, coated in armour, great black wings spread and flapping.

Flapping it´s winds in the cold, the dragon approached them. The soldiers flinched and stepped back, raising their spears and swords. However, there was no battle. A thunder hit the dragon´s back while it was flying, and the beast let out a strong roar before falling to the ground, dead. A small group of white falcons flew, every one of them heading to the north. Just behind them, one of the two corrupted valkyries arrived.

The mythic woman was there, flapping her long, black-feathered wings. It was hard to believe, the warriors of the Fratis´biggest fears were there, all inside one corrupted angel. The valkyrie had a chainmail armor under her armor made of thick fur. Finally, she had a steel winged helmet. Her armor did not seem to be a very reliabe set, since it left very part of her skin exposed, mostly her belly, legs and arms; after all, why would a mythical creature need armor?

The valkyrie was armed with a long, silver halberd, it had also some luxurious decorations. She had a round shield, made of pure gold. Elegant weapons, for an angel. From her halberd, the valkyrie could fire powerful thunderbolts, like the one she used to defeat the dragon. As she slowly flapped her wings with grace, the valkyrie revealed her voice and said: "We finally meet, my young creatures. I have waited loooong to claim your lovely souls. But do not fear, the after-world is not bad, not for brave warriors like you. Just let me claim your lives, I will do it as fast as possible…" When talking, the valkyrie seemed kind, even offering them to do it quick. But those soldiers would not give up without a fight!

Silanus yelled to his soldiers: "Men, damned creature shoots lightnings from her weapon, if we stand too close we´ll all die. Try to keep a distance from each other!" As he finished talking, all the soldiers moved away from each other, and prepared for battle. Two soldiers prepared their crossbows and shot their steel bolts at the valkyrie, the other ones tried to flank her in a melee combat. Silanus was running along them, ready to fight the foe face-to-face, while his loyal troopers surrounded her.

Girfic raised his axe in one hand, the shield in another, and stood beside Silanus.
"The damned shall die." He hissed to no one in particular. The woman in the air spoke, her voice deceiving, almost kind and loving. But the Satyr was not one to fool. The Valkyrie raised her weapon and flicked it towards one man, and lightning shot at him. Two men fired their crossbows at the woman. One bolt missed, the other scraped her wing, causing her to lose balance for a moment. Girfic charged towards her, but she shot a lightning bolt at him, which was met by his shield, sending high voltage through the metal parts, causing the Satyr to drop it into the snow and charge with only the axe, now in both hands. He swung, and she flew sideways, losing balance once again due to her injured wing. He swung again.

And there was a screech of pain.

Blood fluidly flowed from the Valkyrie's leg as the Satyr pulled his axe back, now bloodstained at the tip of the blade. He had angered the Valkyrie.

"The coĺd of death awaits you, miserable satyr! And it will NOT be a fast one!" Said the outraged valkyrie. A bronze colored wave appeared from the angel's golden shield, it served to repulse her foes. Two soldiers were caught on it, sending them meters away from her. And the wave was going to hit Girfic too!

"Fire!" Yelled Silanus. The two crossbowmen shot their steel bolts at the Valkyrie, but this time she blocked them with her shield. The angel was not able to fly anymore, so she decided to cast a powerful levitation spell. Now, she shot a big fireball at the crossbowmen, burning them alive.

Only Silanus, Girfic and 3 soldiers were alive now. Silanus and one soldier charged directly at her, while the other two who were laying on the cold snow stood up and attacked from behind. One of them threw his spear at her back, piercing her armor and causing a deep wound. The valkyrie fell on the floor, dropped her shield and her hand began to glow… She was trying to heal herself!

The Satyr threw himself to one side as the bronze wave sailed past him, covering himself in snow. Slowly, he rose as he felt something hot fly past him, and a sudden light erupted where two men once stood, now pieces of charcoal. He picked up his axe and turned, as the Valkyrie dropped to the ground, and a dark glow came from her hand.

Girfic took the opportunity, swinging his axe wildly at her. There was a loud, metallic clang and an electric buzz as the axe blade cut deep into her healing arm, and what may or may not have been a lightning bolt shot from the wound, sending the Satyr several feet into the air.

The wound was surprisingly large, larger than it should've been. Somehow, it extended to her other wing as well, and, to the Satyr's surprise, her arm needed another hack to be severed completely, or perhaps to be cut in half.

Girfic attempted to rise, but he could only move his head. The minor electric explosion had paralyzed him.

The valkyrie screamed in pain as Girfic´s axe almost cut her whole arm. Plus, she was not able to fly now, the corrupted angel was now even more furious than before. The unwise soldier that was charging with Silanus thought this could be an advantage and ran faster. He threw his spear at her, but the valkyrie was no fool. With some magic, the spear froze in mid air and fell to the snow. The soldier was now very close to his enemy, so he attemped to slash her with his sword, but it didn´t work…

The valkyrie blocked the attack and penetrated his chestplate with her halberd; she couldn´t use her shield since it was on her wounded arm. Obviously, her weapon pierced part of his body too. Now, the halberd began to glow and it slowly sucked the soldier´s life. The trooper fell on his knees as she retired her weapon, now with some of her wounds healed due to the spell that she had cast on the poor man before.

But even with her arm cured, the valkyrie stood no chance against the three men´s last charge. When she finished with the trooper´s life and removed her halberd, Silanus penetrated her shoulder with his short-sword. "You bastard! Killing my troopers is already a proof of your cruelty, but sucking their life too? Only for your own good?!" Now the raging Silanus bashed his shield, staggering her. One of the two soldiers impaled his sword through the valkyries´ back, almost finishing with her life. 

The valkyrie dropped her weapons and fell to the ground, as she attemped to stand up one of the men kicked her in her head, of course crashing it against the floor. As the last move, Silanus finally pierced her skull with his sword, that´s the best way to get rid of her! Silanus, now aware that they had finished her, dropped his sword and heavy shield to the ground and said: "Good job men, we´re… We´re finally in peace. Please go search if any of the others survived, if someone is injured try to heal him." Silanus and the two soldiers lastly began to walk towards the corpses, searching for any life sign. One of the soldiers approached the Satyr, however, somehow he did not feel his heart or his breath. They didn´t know he was paralyzed, so they thought Girfic was dead. The 4 men were about to leave now…
