The first battle between the Stormgiants and the elves of flamewood
Kazokus perspective.
Kazoku was unprepared for the upcoming battle. She had heared the elves talking, they would land a suprise attack on the giants by night. Her conscience pleaded her to stay here and treat the wounded soon to come, but her duty was elsewhere. There was more than one way to save the lives of the elves.
Flying after the troops at a short distance, Kazoku saw the lights of the giant camp. Not wanting to accidently give anything away, she landed and climbed into some nearby trees. There was no time to lose. Closing her eyes, she started a rythmic dance. Her fan, almost as big as she herself began spinning around her hands, as she slowly extracted light from her glass orb. Flowing out like syrup flowing through water, a thick, formless strand of light poured forth, and soon began to grow. As Kazoku began to spread out the limbs of her puppet, sounds of the battlefield announced the beginning of the slaughter.
A loud crash occured right next to her trees, and Kazoku lost concentration. A wyvern had been shot by an arrow almost as big as a small tree. The mount had fallen, and crushed his rider under it. Kazoku was gagging painfully at the brutal sight, but pulled herself together. She had time to vomit later. Now, lives were on the line.
Again, this time much faster, she began forming her puppet.
--------------------------
The battle was raging at full heat right now. Death was in the air, mixed with the sweet scent of blood and the screams of cruel voices. Many nmore scream were added when from the nearby trees, a creature broke out. It's body made of a blue burning flame, it's claws formed to kill, it's ine tails raging through the air like the throats of a multi-headed dragon. A terrible fox, known as the kyuubi in legends was running towards the battlefield. Many giants dropped their jaws, others even their weapons and turned to flee. In a giant leap, the biest jumped into the massacre, biting away at the giants. The jaws were not very powerful, the flame not even hot, but despite that, the giants were terrified. Their hammers and swords, their bolts and their fists, nothing would reach the beast. The hits were just passing through. Was it..invulnerable ?
But their spirit was soon refueled, as a terrible howl was heared from their midst. It was Hrafn, riding on his wolf mount, who had taken the challenge of the ninetailed beast.
It was then, that Kazoku lost controle.
A pillar of light had burst from the dark clouds, and were it touched the ground, flowers sprung forth. The light engulfed the beast, and soon was absorbed by it. The blue glow of it's flames became almost unbearable blinding. Slowly, it began to circle Hrafn. With ech step, flowers sprung forth from the ground, only to be turned into ashes seconds later. Balls of flame began to circle Hrafn and the Kyuubi, spinning faster and faster, and soon they spun so fast they were as good as a solid wall of fire.
A leap fast and furious, and the fox had the giant by his throat, pushing him down from his mound. The thick armor around Hrafns neck prevented the worst, but the strength of the flaming beasts jaw had bent the iron and entrapped his throat, making Hrafn gag and give his best to free himself. A claw made of fire was set on Hrafn chest, and claws like daggers simply sunk through the iron as though it was wet paper. They dug in deep, and Hrafn was almost done for, as the ninetail was pulled away. Hrafns warmount, a wolf of enormous size and of divine origin and biten the flaming beasts hindleg, and hurled it away, almost ripping the leg off.

The tails of the fox flailed wildly, as the behemoths theeth crashed into his fiery throat. The fire of the divine beast charred it's mouth, but never would this warmount give in to even the worst pain. It would never let go of that throat. The Kyuubi clawed and slashed aat it's captors face with knifes of fire, turning it's head into a bloody mess, but the steel grip of those terrible theeth only strengthened.
Meanwhile, Hrafn was back on his legs. Blood was flowing out of his mouth into his beard, merging with the blood of a thousand victims. A move like between hammer and amboss, Hrafn swung his holy hammer, and the Kyuubi was felled. It's flesh broke apart like sand, and vanished with the winds, leaving nothing but bones made of pure light, which soon crumbled as well.
Hrafn swung himself unto his wolf with the last of his strength, coughing up another wave of dark red blood. For him, the battle was over. Using the last of it's strength, he and his warmount broke through the barrier of fire anf fled the battlefield.
