War Part Six

The moment Emperor Arkanos and his forces stepped beyond the towering gates of the capital, a shimmering emerald barrier encased the entire city.

The thunder of hooves and clashing steel drowned out all other sounds as two forces collided in the open field before the capital.

At the forefront, Emperor Arkanos, clad in midnight-black armor, wielded his holy sword, its silver edge wreathed in a holy aura.

His stallion, a monstrous warhorse plated in enchanted steel, carried him forward with unstoppable force, his mere presence driving fear into the enemy's ranks.

Jareth, the Thunder's Wrath, surged toward him.

His crimson cape whipped violently in the wind as lightning crackled across his armor, his steed matching the Emperor's charge.

His eyes burned with hatred.

Then—

BOOM!

A single shockwave erupted the moment their swords met, splitting the battlefield apart beneath them.
