After Neimi and the children were gone and Mizuki kissed him and say don't die he smirked a little holding the other close for the brief moment they had. "Not planing on it." No one in this battle was going to get that satisfaction that was certain. He knew where he needed to go to and that he knew weighed on Mizuki's mind heavily. Sure he could cast spells but he was still one of the stronger melee fighters they had and it was a waste to put him anywhere else.

After they parted ways he breathed out a little praying they both made it through this. The final battle it seemed. Reports of the king himself being dressed for battle and present also had gotten around. Yes this would be the final battle. Either they king fell or the resistance did. They were still vastly out numbered but each body able to fight was more they ready to test such odds against them.

The battle started or well blew into full effect shortly after he and Mizuki parted ways. Fighters on both sides already fallen. They had the advantage of knowing the layout of this area better and having traps set up in case of a attack. Traps helped thin numbers or that was their purposes. Though he was too busy giving a few final orders to worry if the traps were finished in time or not.

Raden wasn't with Neimi, the girl had protested to the idea of him staying behind to fight but he was a better fighter then she was as she started to suggest that she could fight. They needed ranged attackers, they had a small number of mages as it was, any other ranged attacks were welcome.

Though there might have been a few things the King was not counting on, the will of these so called doomed fighters. That and the fact there was a nord and a drow fighting in the same area. Felix was a force to be dealt with on his own due to brute strength, adding Thalion in as well almost made it unfair. Not to mention by this time Needren and Thalion had settled a few differences.. maybe only long enough to agree to fight along side but still.

To say the least the fight dragged on and the numbers dwindled on both sides. Granted the hits were more largely seen on the Resistance side due to their already lacking numbers but none the less they kept fighting. By this time the King's forces had finally gotten into the camp, the front lines could only hold back so many and it was probably a blessing they even had a front line to speak of still.

Thalion knew right away when any of the troop shad made it far enough for the mages to have to deal with them. Each spell Mizuki used took a bit of his own energy with it. Though he knew the same went for him fighting out here as well. Thats why they had trained each day and worked on ways to get the most out of this link while still being able to fight.

So far there was no sign of the side King, though there were so many fighters who knew where he was even. Either way there was little time to focus on this as there was plenty other things to worry about. Like staying alive and when there would ever be a end to the seemingly endless sea of soldiers the King seemed to have at his disposal. Having to fall back a little hardly helped anything. To avoid death when they could they tried to retreat any of their own wounded to areas where some healers were located.

Though even that got to be risky as the healers were reported to fall back to where the escape tunnels were and to wait there. Things were hardly looking good at the moment and there seemed to be little the group could do to turn the tides. It felt like as one enemy solider fell five more took his place. They needed to target any generals there were and the King himself if he could be found. Taking out the leadership would send the rest of the troops into a panic and disarray. OR that was what normally happened so if they had any luck it would cease most if not all of the fighting.

Archers had some of the higher ground to get the best use of their arrows. This was where Raden was, one of the perches though he had no idea where Thalion or Felix or anyone else was in all of this mess. He knew Neimi had taken the two kids and that is why the sight he saw confused him a little. He swore the little kid he just saw was Nytria. Glancing a little he jumped to one of the lower platforms were some of the mages were located before finding Mizuki. There had been a small break in waves of soldiers for the moment. He guessed the front lines regained some ground somehow.

"Mizuki!" He called out before running over to him and pointing out the kid on the ground who seemed to be in a bit of a panic at the moment. Probably scared from everything going on around him. They were lucky that the child seemed to go unnoticed for the time being. "Isn't that?" Raden asked before noticing a small ground of enemy soldiers growing near the boy. Though about this same time more enemy soldiers were coming from the other side as well.

He left Mizuki saying that he needed to get down there. Raden was a good shot considering his age compared to most of the experienced archers. With that he said that he'd cover Mizuki as long as he could. Though that might be only a few moments, just long enough for the other to get to the ground and towards the scared child. By this time they were sure who it was, the child was frozen almost along side of the house. How he had gotten away from Neimi one could only guess.

Neimi had noticed that Nytria was missing. His sister was panicking a little as she looked up at Neimi who knelt down to her. "Nytria will be fine. I'm sure of it." The girl protested that they had to go get him and that he was scared. "We can't .. I know I want to go find him as well but we can't." She looked down lowering her head before hugging the girl tight as she said a prayer in her mind that the boy was with one of them.. any of them just anyone that was keeping him safe. She didn't know when he had run off and gotten away from her and she'd never forgive herself if something happened.
