[Z3R0]

As Zero's knights break the line of the surging mass of Shadow Warriors, a loud horn can be hear far in the distance. It blows three times, long and deep, signaling that Kallor and the main army have arrived. As Zero looks around, he notices that for each Shade that falls, three more take it's place.

<He must be creating them. That means he is somewhere nearby, his strength waning. No doubt he shall have grymoires raised for protection. I might need some help to break them.>

Grabbing a nearby knight by his helm visor, he pulls him closer, shouting above the roar of the fight and the clang of metal striking metal.

"Find me the Lady Pamela. Bring her herunto me quickly. If you fail me in this, I shall not forget it. Now GO!"

Turning back to guard his right flank, he slashes through a Shade and watches it turn to ashes and dissapear in the wind.

<Arghh! Where is he hiding, the coward?>

Concentrating deeply, he focuses on a large pile of dry pine on the ground. A small flame is sparked suddenly in the midst of the pile, fueled larger by the pine, the wind, and the energy flowing from Zero, urging it to grow. It soon becomes a small fire, then a larger one, escelating unto a full blaze. The Darkling retreat from the fire a ways and Zero's knight have a chance to reform and rest while they await the main army.

The Darklings sink back into the shadows, waiting for their victims to venture deep into the wood. Zero allows the fire to grow in a tall, bright barrier in front of them, containing it with but a thought. He waits for Kallor and Pamela patiently.
