Wrath of the Ether

Arcadia's Southern Coast

Taking the lead Alexis and Voah, more used to military drills, pushed their horses forward, slightly apart coming to rest a few metres away from the strange apparition. Tarmen, moved slightly behind them, taking a line away from the two in case he had to rush the armoured woman, while Gonyaul took the rear with Ekero.

Under the woman's small hood they could all see blonde white hair so fair that it appeared grey, double braided to reveal a lean, tense face. Glistening blue eyes, the colour of clear summer skies, above elegant cheek bones, watch thoughtfully as the riders approach.

A small red tattoo of a tear reaching from the bottom of the right cheek just under her pale eye seemed a strange contrast to the woman's fair features. She stood tall in front of the riders despite her lean frame.

There was something strange about the woman's attire and stance. Although armoured it was obvious to the two women sitting on their horses that the newcomers’ attire felt dated, old even.

The shoulder guards were fairly rounded, wide and large in size. They're decorated with two small horns on each side, curved towards the side, that resembled antlers.

The upper arms were protected by squared, layered metal rerebraces which fit under the shoulderplates. Etched on the metal were layers have layers of long, exotic bird feathers attached to the outer sides.

Her armour is silver as is the large sword stuck on the ground in front of her in easy reach of her gauntlet hands. Two strange looking electric blue rods hanged from her belt. The small cloak she wore over her right shoulder had a familiar pattern embroidered in its surface. They had all seen it in the shipwreck in Sentinel. The Crest of Allos.

Grabbing her sword, she pointed it at the group.

"I am h're to claimeth our prey. Standeth aside 'r perish."

Everyone looked at where the tip of her sword pointed at. Shockingly it pointed at Gonyaul...
