Thorns and Claws
If he knew of half the conversation going on currently he'd have told the other half of his mind. It wasn't like he had a choice in helping or not. he seer from the old kingdom even suggested it. Those were powers he did not wish to test and go against. At the same time he didn't expect much of anything from the list they were to visit. Trust was not something he freely gave nor expected, so anything wouldn't surprise him.

The horse snorted before backing up a little as some more of the Queen's soldiers seemed to make their way to seek the girl out. "tsk.. mindless dogs.." he muttered out before shoving the beast to walk away before he bothered moving. He took a few steps ignoring if the house that Asui had entered had opened or not. The group charging forward never halted once at the sight of a single fighter, this made it all the easier.

"Maybe this till remind her damned highness what clan she destroyed all those years ago!" He growled his words towards the still on-charging men before shooting just one palm out in front of him as a slight aura formed around it. Slowly it took the color of blood red before he spoke again. "Your flesh betrays you, your bones know the truth. Tainted and restrained by the weakened flesh."

Everything seemed to come to a dead stop as all of the soldiers stopped at the same time. A sudden blood curdling scream from one of them seemed to cause a chain reaction. His incantation did just as he said, granted it was spoken in old tongue, this was a sample of what true power he had been holding back. The clan he spoke of was one of the many the Queen had left one or two alive from .. others were not as lucky. But his clan were known to be masters of the dark arts of necromancy.

Control over the dead, and bones of the living. Any level of dark magic was to be rightfully feared in the wrong hands, this is why the Queen had killed his clan, his family. From all of the fighting earlier he was about livid with it all.There were methods of countering such magic but they were hard to come by anymore, the Queen made sure that she had any such users of the counters or magic under her control... though she appeared to have let her guard down with this one.

It was a rather grotesque sight to behold. Each of the soldiers unable to control their very hands and limbs as they killed themselves, most ripping the very flesh free from the bone. One seemed to finish this turning process before the others as Thalion ordered it to come to him. "Give your damned leader a message... she was warned, the girl is not hers..." The skeletal beast seemed to understand before it started to walk off to do as it was bid to do so.

For any of the others that still were half turned or half dying he flicked the same hand before muttering a few words again. "To ash.." There was no need to leave a undead army in the town. As soon as he spoke the words and lowered his hand the group before him seemed to cumbust into a dark purple and white flame. Quickly engulfing the army that once stood and laving no trace of them aside form some dist on the cobblestone paths as remains.

Though all of this didn't seem to have no effect on it's caster as he seemed to pause a moment before holding his chest with one hand. "Yeah yeah... knew better.." He breathed out wincing slightly.
