Backed into a corner

The armies trying to block Endora’s troops from reaching the capital of Life were now gone, either massacred by the successive attacks of Pearl and Elise or having retreated to the capital.

The grand wall surrounding the capital was filled to the brim with ascended, all looking up and towards the east, awaiting their enemy’s arrival.

High King Soren was at the lead of the defender army, sitting high above one of the towers on the east, his body slowly moving between existence and non-existence, trying to adapt to his newfound power.

In contrast, Thanatos was waiting safely on the palace’s balcony, taking pleasure in the fear and nervousness of the people outside and waiting for the war to begin.

The armies of Endora arrived.

The ascended, which trebled in fear and uneasiness not even a month ago, now looked like wild beasts eager for war. Seth’s two successive attacks had raised the morale and confidence of everyone present there.
