in the war of the femme fieras 4

the femme fieras were a very powerful force at the time, they had ranks within the clan, there were five ranks. training, apprentice, fully pledged, elder, heir to the clan,and the leader. the ranks revolved around experience, knowledge, strength and magical power, the training femme fiera are those who have only begun their clan's deeds, the apprentice are those who are capable of controlling the magics that the femme fieras do but are needing 5 years of study of the the dark arts,the fully pledged are those who have completed all requirements of initiation, elders are those who have served a clan for more than 20 years, and the heir to the clan is next in line to be the leader, and the leader is the person leading the guild. silknight is the leader of the clan, the elders are the swamp hag, the animator, and many more (i forgot some other names, sorry), the femme fieras held a meeting within silknight's throne room. silknight announced that the sorcerers were escorted and the weapons were delivered successfully, she announced that those who were proven to be the strongest of the clan would receive the rifles that Krodo had been busy creating, and she introduced the new femme fieras into their clan's hiding place in snowpeak mountain, the newly recruited femme fieras was dazzled by the castle they were in, the castle was not actually made of stone but with ice, this is what sparked the minds of one of the femme fieras to practice black magic with ice magic so that femme fiera was first to create the black ice gems. meanwhile the enchantresses were training in their clan's castle, the enchantresses were the proud and powerful conjurers of the path of good magic, they taught all the magic they could do, their magic was the complete opposite of what the femme fieras did, the enchantress' magic was for only doing good and stopping harm, the femme fieras' magic was used for selfish and evil purposes, even though the femme fieras practice black magic not all of them are pure evil, the enchantress elders were teaching the apprentices and newly recruited enchantresses the basic frostbite spell which was simple yet important to the enchantresses' teaching, it was frostbite that helped them stop enemies dead in their tracks, the enchantresses also thought how to weaken enemies in case the enemy was part of the deadly and infamous clan the femme fieras, the enchantresses' leader was the elf queen she was the one that allowed plans and taught the enchantresses the white magic path, the royal magician and ellie the enchantress are 2 of the most brilliant enchantresses, the royal magician was known to conduct many theories, and Ellie the enchantress was respected for her talent to craft magical items.

the femme fieras' leader silknight was training krystal, for krystal was heir to the throne if silknight was to be killed by the enchantresses and be eternally destroyed, krystal knowing this took her training extremely seriously because she knew if silknight's dark magical remains were to be cleansed by the enchantresses, there would be no way the animator would be able to re-animate her again properly because re-animating a non-dark magical remain would cause the target to be undead, Krystal was taught the arts of dark magic from silknight and as well as ice magic from the ice mage traitors, she grew to be strong like the femme fiera that had made the black ice, instead of making black ice she would take over the femme fieras upon silknight's cleansed death, there was also another newly recruited femme fiera the name of the mage was covenhag it was a name given to him by the femme fieran elders, covenhag came from the school of enchantresses but was banished due to covenhag doing dark magics, covenhag was aspiring to assasinate the elf queen and be like silknight, dark magical, powerful and intelligent the traits covenhag wanted, covenhag was only a training femme fiera when he aspired the darkest of magics, while training he befriended krystal and krystal told covenhag about the magic silknight was practicing, since silknight had many dark magical information and power it came from different sources, death magic from Arlor, occultist magic from dark legends, and many more, when covenhag heard this he was driven to insanity by the power silknight had, covenhag's desire was to be as powerful and evil as silknight, many months passed by, the femme fieran elder noticed the potential of covenhag to do the foulest of arts, covenhag was then turned into an femme fieran apprentice, Frogmar told silknight that she should read about "the most potent and evil brews" silknight had done so and found an recipe to increase the effectiveness of her dark magical power.

where can i find these ingredients? said Silknight
depends on which one replied Frogmar
which one should i obtain first? asked Silknight
i suggest you look for the orb of nature replied Frogmar
i'll get it after we return to the skeleton cult crypts said Silknight
when will that be? asked Frogmar
as soon as we are able to get the elfguard out of there said silknight

Silknight dismissed Frogmar from her presence, she was devising a plan to take back the skeleton cult crypts to her, but how? she thought to herself, and then she had an idea she would send out the strongest of her apprentices and send krystal as well a plan to train as many femme fiera as she could, since if that group were to die they'd be re-animated by the animator since she knew that the elfguard and enchantresses did not know of the animator's power to bring fully back those corpses which were corrupted by the most evil arts.

the elf queen was in doubt would she be able to bring down the femme fieras down into surrendering or would the femme fieras destroy alterra, she had little hope because she had an ursan army capable of destroying rogues and femme fieras mages, but she knew if the rogues were to over power the strongest of her Ursan army especially Captain Beizo it would prove a fatal loss to the elfguard and enchantresses, the elf queen was in deep thought at the time, because she didn't know where the femme fieras was, she sent her spies to look everywhere but to no avail, she ordered the enchantress elders to teach more advanced white magic arts to the enchantress apprentices, she then asked Nuri the Gypsy queen for guidance.

Nuri, i need your assistance, said the elf queen
and what may that be? replied Nuri the Gypsy queen
i'm very doubtful of the outcome of the war the elfguard and enchantresses are going to have against the femme fieras, replied the elf queen
my divination is always not correct but it will show what will most likely be the outcome of what will happen if you stay in your position said Nuri the Gypsy queen

Nuri then proceeded to come out of her tent and at the blue flamed pillar, she then looked at it's flames and went into an trance.

You will win this war if you are able to locate where the femme fieras are, finding them will show you all their clan members and you will be able to defeat many training and apprentice femme fieran mages, if you are not able to find them they will try to destroy you and you will be weakened, but even so there is always hope for those who walk the path of light, prophesied Nuri.

and with that Nuri became conscious again.

I feel quite different, said Nuri
is there something wrong? asked the elf queen

Nuri the Gypsy queen had been cursed by the spirits in the fair (a graveyard was built on it) which silknight commanded to curse her if she were to prophesies to the elf queen, the Gypsy queen fell down and went in a coma, the elf queen could not stop the dark magic silknight had cursed her with but she knew that the adventurers were going to save her, the elf queen told Nuri's workers to guard her in case silknight came back.

Silknight why didn't you curse her before she did the prophecy? asked Krystal
because her protection magic on herself could not be penetrated unless she had been in a trance replied Silknight
it was a wise decision to summon those spirits said Krystal
thank you, but now i must find more spells that can be of use right now replied Silknight

Silknight then approached the Femme fieran elders.

what is it that we may be of use to you Silknight? said the swamp hag
I need spells that may able us to have an advantage, replied Silknight
you want more knowledge of the dark arts? asked the animator
of course even if i already had a deal with Lord Mardrom i still need more power, replied silknight
but would that not cost your sanity? asked the swamp hag
I've been in the dark arts long enough to not become insane due to that,replied silknight
very well then i suggest you should visit the necromancers of Arlor I've heard they learned more powerful death magic said the animator
I've also heard that there's a vampire cult in the underworld that we could do deals with added the swamp hag
excellent information, replied Silknight

and with that silknight set off to learn of the death magic the necromancers had newly learned, she had put Krystal in command and told her not to destroy elfguard until she had returned.
