Talion in Equestria

The second day since the assault started the demons were still out of range for the archers waiting for a moment to attack and take the city but with the undead that do not rest guarding the walls was making it difficult for them but there was a new problem occurring the griffins rations were not going to last as long as they expected they were almost out and hunger was affecting a few of the griffin soldiers but not many right now.

The demons on the other hand had all the supplies they needed for the assault on the Griffin and more. The demon lord still would not show himself and the demons still surrounded the capital and left no opening for any of them to escape.

For the Griffins, one minute felt like hours as they waited for the demons to make a move and now they were finally doing something. They were changing formations in the front were very large and bulky demons that stood two times taller than the demons behind them.

The undead saw the demons were about to attack and they drew their bows and the rest drew their sword or lifted their weapon over their shoulders and let them rest there. The demons stood there for a few minutes before a horn blow and their charged and the archers fired and a volley of arrow traveled towards the demons many going over the front lines and hit the demons behind the tall one but the ones that hit them penetrate their armor and skin but they kept moving they were just large meat shields for the arrows, and when they reached the walls they knelt down to the 15 feet high wall and more tall demons got on top of them form a staircase of demons the undead swords and spearmen moved up, and readied their weapon and the archers continued to fire arrows at the demons that ran up the staircase of demons but there were too many for them to shoot down and they neared the top of the wall at a fast pace and the spearmen thrusted their spears stabbing many of the demons and those that did not get were now fighting the swordsmen.

The Griffins were now joining the fight as the flew down from the skies and fought demons that were getting on the walls, and many of them lited the demons in the air and dropped them over the army of demons injuring more and more of them but not many died from this tactic.

In the distance griffins could be seen carrying large vases, and dropping them on the demons on the staircase and their broken on top of them and covered the demons in a strange fluid then some of the flying griffin the threw torches on them setting them all on fire and making the demons that made the staircase scream and they all collapsed to the ground making the fires spread to the other demons that were below them the front of the wall a giant bonfire that made the demons back off and the archers started to fire again, and as the arrows went through the fire they started to catch on fire then continued to their target making the fire spread among the retreating demons.

And again the demons were out of range of the archers and held their positions as they looked at the flames that nearly engulfed the front of the walls

Third day

The third day was here it was here and we would see who would succeed would the Griffins hold out long enough for Talion to arrive or would the demons break through their defenses and lay waste to the city.

The walls were holding for now but the demons were trying something new now they had now made wooden shields from a nearby forest and now formed a line the one behind the front lines held their shields above them to prevent arrows or rock from above and the ones in front held their shields in front of them and they marcher forward maintaining their lines.

The archers fired but their arrow but they had no effect on the shields the demons carried and they reached the wall and stood there doing nothing and in the distance, shields were moving and fire and smoke rose from the cracks between the shields.

When the fire reached the gate a fire demon jumped out of the shields and in the archway, the gate was where the archers could not fire, and the fire demons put his hands on the steel gate and the steel started to heat up at an alarming rate and it started to melt at a very slow pace.

The undead on the other side could see the steel gate starting to heat up and readied their weapons. The Griffins and archers continued to fire their arrows and drop large rocks on the shields some arrows making it through the openings between the shields and hot a demon but they still held strong and held up their shields but that did not last long as a few collapsed and archers fired thought the holes and taking out a few demons and their comrades quickly filled in the holes with their shields.

There was now a small hole in the gate and slowly grew with every second. A few archers were trying to get down from the wall so they could shoot through the hole but the walls were crowded by the other undead and they could not move.

The hole in three minutes was twice the size it was before and only big enough for an arm to go through but it was slowly expanding. The hole continued to grow and the demons readied to rush in as soon as it was big enough for them to get through than there was a sound in the distance.

The fire demons stopped and the demons looked towards the direction of the horn and in the distance there was movement and along the horizon, an army lined up on mounts but the demons and griffins could not see them clearly.

Talion POV

‘I don't know why but this feels very familiar’ I thought as I looked to the left and the right to look at my calvary but now was not the time to get distracted I need to say something to boost morale and I rode in front of my mounted army and started to speak.

“Today is your first day of battle, today you become heroes to your families and friends do not fear these demons if anyone should be afraid it should be them they fight for death and destruction we fight for our families and our way of life, today we ride and face the demons that march on our allies and drive them back to the pits of hell where they belong and if we die we die fighting not for not ourselves but for the people that believe in us and we will not let them done not today not ever!” I yelled and my voice echoed through the air and they all raised their weapons and cheered and I turned to face the demons army.

“Once we break through their lines lead a group of riders towards the gate and make sure they don't get anywhere near it,” I yelled and the captain of my royal guard nodded and gathered a group of moving armor. ”FORWARD.” I yelled and the manticores and caragors started to move forward slowly then went in a sprint.

Third person

Talion's army was now charging forward towards the demon army and the demons on the side Talion was charging dropped their shields.

“Spears upfront archers behind!” A voice shouted from behind the shielded demons and they did as they were told three lines of spears were formed and the spearmen upfront knelled and planted their spears in the ground while the others held their spear in their hands and pointed them forward.

“Kill them all.” The griffins shouted from behind the walls.

“Fire the voice behind the demons said and the archers fired, and arrows flew through the air and Talion pulled out his bloodskall blade and swung releasing the red energy and it destroyed all the arrows leaving the calvary uninjured as they charged closer to the demons.

Talion and his army were only a few feet from the demons now and were about to charge into their lines Talion lifted his sword and releasing the red energy again cutting many of the spears the demons held in half and the mounted army began trampling the demons those some of the mounted soldiers were not as lucky as others and the spears kill their mounted and they were through off luckily their allies were able to avoid trampling them to death but there were still many injured.

The captain was leading his troops to the gate to clear the demons near it the captain went for the fire demons while the other went for the ones near the wall. Talion was leading the rest of the army right down the middle of the demon army trampling all in their path.

Talion POV

‘Where is he.’ I thought as I looked forward looking for the demon lord Osiris but he was nowhere to be seen. I continued to look as I trampled the demons that were foolish enough to stand in front of my caragor then one of the living orcs rode out ahead of me normally I would be upfront because I can't really die but with the battle how it is going it is fine for now.

A few moments later he changed direction charging though demons to what looked like a small circle of demons holding shields gathered around one demon who looked rather important his skin was red and he had four horns one pair of them only a few inches long with the other pair a foot long on his arms were pieces of razor sharp metal that looked like they were apart of his skin on his knees where a chintin like armor that covered only his knees he wore no armor except his shoulder pads that looked like they were made from dragon scales and his chest was exposed his eyes looked like they were made of fire and pieces of bone stuck out of his knuckles almost like spikes his finger was like black claws that were about an inch long.

The orc charge through the shield wall but the caragor he was riding died from a spear and he was flung off and they closed the circle traping the orc inside now that I really looked at the orc he looked like an orc from the game I think the name was Kruk the hell-hawk.(differences is everything blue is red)

Third person POV the fight

“So one of the orcs I heard from the spies report came to me what a pleasure, I will enjoy finding out how you tick,” Osiris said as he popped his knuckles.

“The dark lord wants your head then after that I’m getting a promotion,” Kruk said as he pulled his spear and shield off his back and his spear lite on fire and he took the regular battle stance the same as in the game and Osiris charged.

Kruk held up his shield and Osiris threw a punch at him and his spiked fist bounced off the shield. “Demon filth,” Kruk said as he moved his shield and lunged forward with his spear and stabbing it into his side.

Osiris yelled as he threw another punch only for it to make contact with his shield but it still sent him back a few feet and his spear pulled away with him and the wound started to bleed badly.

Osiris charge again and lifted his fist high as he swung it down and Kruk defended but the ground around his was now a crater and Osirises other fist punched him in the gut sending him out of the small carter and on the ground but he quickly got back up and he coughs up black blood (I believe that is the color of their blood I looked it up some said black and other a very dark red) and he used his spear to support himself, then Osiris stepped out of the crater, and Kruk regain his composure and got ready to fight. Kruk pulled out a black curved dagger and he charged forward and disappeared in black smoke then reappeared in front of Osiris and stabbed him in the leg with the dagger and slid between his legs cutting through his leg forcing him to one knee.

Kurk was back on his feet and dusted himself off and walked up behind Osiris with his spear in hand and shoved his spear into his back and lifted him up and his own weight forced the spear deeper into his back and he slammed him, head first on the ground. A few moments later Talion charges through the shields and grabbed the orc and put him on his dire caragor and they rode out of the circle.

“Where did you get that dagger.?” Talion asked.

“The captain gave it to me he said he stole it off another captain from the mystic tribe,” Kruk said he put the dagger away the demons were soon retreating with their commander dead and no one to give orders they fled in fear of being trampled to death.

Talion POV

‘Thank goodness we got here in time.’ I thought to myself as we rode up to the front gates and they opened and I looked at the molted hole in the middle of the gate showing how close they were too from getting inside the hole was the size of a person now and the metal was still very hot as it glowed with intense heat.”All of you scout the area around the city the captain and I will meet with the Queen and see if there is anything else we can do,” I said and my army left to scout the surrounding area for more demons while we headed for the castle.

The undead still patrolled the walls searching for any more threats. I rode up to the castle to meet up with Phaenna.

“Talion you finally arrived thank goodness.” I heard behind me as I dismounted my caragor and I turned around to see the griffin queen standing there her feathers were unkept and she looked sleep deprived and ready to collapse.

“I’m glad I got here in time but you should get some sleep you like look you will fall at any moment,” I told her and she lost balance for a second before regaining it. “See you need to rest your people need you to be fully awake to lead them and with Circe finally have the final piece of her plan in place she can now step into the mortal realm,” I said and she nearly collapsed in shooked.

“What do you mean?” She asked shakily.

“Her attacks were not random or just trying to get rid of us, they were making a pentagram that she would use to make the gates powerful enough for her to travel here from Tartarus and now they have all their pieces in place but now we know where they are, they have to be in the center for her plan to work so now we can throw everything we have at them at most I think we only have a week to prepare before she activates it,” I told her and she passed out, and her griffins carried her to her room.

“Gather everyone I can teleport us back now,” I said and my captains left the only reason I did not Teleport here is that I had not been here before. After everyone was gathered I teleported us home and the liches were informed of the time limit and got to work I weren't below and consumed all the souls in the orb and got to work creating undead from skyrim most were draugr wight or greater also the bone, wraith and mistmen and a few keepers with my new power creating all of them were no longer difficult and the death overlords were easier to make now they will be y personal army the others have their commanders or captains and we need more forces that can be spread out undead are not very smart without someone constantly giving them orders or they are very specific with them.

I began to send a telepathic message to all of my liches and captains. “This is a message for all of you all undead and guards are to be ready to move out and golems are to be prepared for combat, and mithril armor will be given to caragors, orcs, and the new guards and call for caribou soldiers that have been cleared for combat,” I told them and ended the message to continue making my newest army.

Over the next three days the army grew rapidly beyond count and I told the other rulers to prepare and I heard that they were preparing for the worst Celestia, Luna and Faust never left their castle after hearing that she was returning I couldn't blame them Faust would have to fight her sister and Celestia and Luna their aunt.

We Found the gates but it was heavily guarded by the remaining demons lords and their armies all that was left for them to do was wait for their goddess to be ready and then the final battle will be decided.

The production of the marbles I made when I was with Eva is steadily rising adding to my military might. The other kingdoms were gathering whatever they could for the battle and the mercenaries they hired started to abandon them not very surprised though not everyone can fight a demon without trembling with fear. The golems were to be used to transport them by putting them in crates and carrying the marbles.

The next day I invited Luna, Celestia, and Faust to the tower to talk for a bit and once we were sitting down I started. “How do you all feel about this?” I asked already knowing what they could be feeling but I wanted to hear it too make sure they were ready for this.

Faust was the first to speak.” I can’t believe I have to fight my sister again after all this time.” She said with her hands on her face as she rested her elbows on the table.

Celestia held Luna as tears rolled down her face when I spoke.”When the time comes I will fight her, I am the only one of us that can.” I told them and Faust nodded

Over the next hour we talked about things and the mood changed from depressing to joyful in no time and they stayed the night and during the night I created more grave golems and the marbles have been stockpiled and ready for transport but tomorrow we need to move out we are already behind schedule so we might arrive after everyone else the next day Faust Luna and Celestia left they told me their forces were already moving now it was time for me to move as well I was out of the everfree where my army had gathered.” How many we got?” I asked the captains.”300 caribou 50 thousand undead, 10 thousand enchanted armors, 1 and a half thousand caragors, ghules unknown, 1 thousand orcs and we have not counted your personal army 15 thousand shadow demons and lastly 2 thousand grave knights all ready for battle, and Nova and the sea ponies that wanted to fight are already gone we couldn’t stop them, they left before we even knew what they were doing.” He said and I sighed and nodded

“It can’t be helped now we don’t have time to waste right now,” I said as I whistled and the skeletal dragged flew over the mountain and over my air and just hovered there and the Eldion joined the army and we marched and I planned then I got a good idea a scare tactic to weaken the demons will to fight and we continued to march as I thought how to do it.
