It was the second day of the battle at Shinei. Eush rode up to the battlefield with his "so called" comrades, and surveyed the situation around him. Skyred is absent from combat today. It seemed troubles are still abrewing back home, and things are not going too smoothly for him. Eush can forget about reinforcements today.

The battlefield was laid with fresh corpses from both sides, bloody evidence of close skirmishes evident with each step. Eush trodded ahead slowly and deliberatly, his steed's hooves crushing the already dead bodies mercilessly. His build is that of a young lad, clad in a simple ebony tunic and rugged pants, Eush looked skinewly and even fragile, far from what one would expect of a warrior, especially one with such a fearsome reputation. What is even more amazing is his fair and unscarred complexion, unbelievably a fighter's skin. A far cry from Skyred indeed, totally opposite from his equivalent in all aspects.

"Borrrrrrkkk......." The war horns cried tearily as both sides blew their own trumpets. The battle has begun.

The sounds of battle engulfed the field. All anyone could hear was the sound of metal clanging against metal, or the sick sinking sound of steel into flesh. Eush rode on, his Sabre of Light waving around wildly, claiming it's fair share of war booty. All seemed well. Even without Skyred today, the fight looked to be totally in Eush's favour. Waves of waves of enemy reinforments arrived, only to be driven back in no time, the Rightous aura emmitted from Sabre of Light seemed to be seemed to be doing it's job well, improving the soldiers' morale with each fallen enemy rank. Victory is in grasp.

"Roar!" A defeaning warcry erupted from the distant, forcing the surrounding soldiers to cover their ears or risk bursting the eardrums, dropping their weapons while doing it. "Ahh!" "ahh!" "Ahh!" Men clad in armor starting to take to the skies, as if flung by an ungodly force. Ah Xiong has been awoken! Finally unable to tolerate the noises that were disturbing his slumber, an irritated Ah Xiong decided to remove what was causing the noise so that he could resume his sleep in peace.

Ranks and ranks were wiped out by Ah Xiong's Great paw. The advantage that had been so painstakenly fought for was gone in no time. Ah Xiong proceeded nearer and nearer to the bright light that was irritating him, the Sabre of Light held by Eush. "Woo hoo! Die Goblin..." chuckled Eush as he yet slew another enemy scum. Little did he know that he was going to face a fearsome foe very soon. "Roar!" Eush stumbled back in shock upon setting eyes on the creature that befaced him. A giantic brown bear with paws as big as a fully grown man stood before Eush. Trailing shortly behind the bear was a monstrocity that looked like a .. a lice... except that it was a giantic version of a the normal one. the lice looked harmless and sleepy... chanting "arul..arul.." as it trailed behind Ah Xiong. Probably sleepingwalking.

Without warning, Ah Xiong swiped his right paw at Eush, complete with 5 yellowish and deadly looking unkempt nails. Eush's combat instincts took over his shock immediately as the realisation of danger sank into him. Bright lights flashed before Eush, as pain clouded his eyes. The swipe had done it's job poorly, leaving 2 deep bleeding gashes on Eush's right forearm, when it could had taken the warrior's life. Hurt and no longer able to wield his sword, Eush ordered a retreat...

Tortured cries of goblinoid and monkeys could be heard throughout the night as Ah Xiong turned the battlefield into his personal amusement park......

"We won't be able to take Shinei tonight, a wasteful and meaningless battle was fought." Eush thought to himself quietly as the medic tended to his wounds, waiting for sunrise...
