My Beginning After the End Downfall

Trust Pt. I

Mica Earthborn

"Can ten of us truly take the city?" Skarn asked me, and I just shrugged, not knowing how to respond. "What did Lance Virion say? Was it two thousand? One thousand?" He was referring to how many troops they had, and because of me, that didn't matter.

"It doesn't matter, Skarn, I'll take them out." I said, giving him a stern look. "It was two thousand, but with the element of surprise, and the people in the city to help us, I think we can do it with ease."

At the moment, there was ten of us standing outside of Blackbend, there were about a thousand men and women guard the entrance of the city. "Two thousand is still a lot of troops, Mica, can this really work without us dying?"

"Lance Virion designed this plan so no one had to die." Hornsfels said, looking ahead as he spoke. "I trust in him, and so should all of you." I nodded, it should be starting any second now, all we had to wait for was Lance Virion. "Lance Virion has killed plenty more than this by himself, and with Mica, he can do it easily."

"We'll be fine, there is no need to worry." I said, trying to make everyone feel better, they weren't even going to be involved in the fight. "Let's just get ready, when we see Lance Virion, I'll join him in battle, and everyone else will tunnel underground and into the city."

"She's right." Cassandra said, speaking up from behind us all. "We will be fine, there is no need to worry, Lance Virion will make sure everything goes according to plan." She nodded her head, assuring us we were going to be okay, but I still didn't trust that elf.

"There!" Skarn shouted, pointing at a man walking up to the thousand troops in front of the city, purple and black fire, blue fire, vines, black spikes, and so much more already forming around him, the Alacryan soldiers started to prepare for battle, but the ones in the front had no chance, Lance Virion butchered them within seconds.

"Go Mica!" Someone shouted, and I launched out of the forest in front of Blackbend, and toward the spells running wild ahead of me. Virion had already killed a hundred people, maybe even more, it was quite scary knowing that a clone could do this much damage.

I started to conjure earthen spears, shooting them into the crowd, forming an earthen barrier around me to make sure no spells could hit me. I also manipulated the gravity, making some of the men and women fall up into the sky, then back down, shattering some of their bones.

I made sure to stay away from Lance Virion, not entirely, but a good thirty yards, making sure none of his spells could find themselves flying towards me. I didn't want to get killed by a fellow Lance while we were trying to save the people in this city.

I grew a stone wall, blocking a fire spell, shooting the stones that crumbled to the ground after the fire collided with it into the mass of troops, killing as many as I could. I conjured more and more earth spears, shooting them in all directions, shaking the ground, not allowing the soldiers around me to be comfortable in my presence.

I could see that the ones near Virion had already accepted defeat, some were on their knees, waiting to get killed, waiting for a spell to enter their body, they knew that he wouldn't let them live even if they pleaded for it.

In his defense, I wasn't going to let any of them live as well, I was releasing all of my spells, shooting them in all directions, making sure I left no survivors, the ground shook with the pure force of the attacks being used in this battle.

It only took Virion and I about five minutes to wipe out their force in front of the city, but they had more inside, I could feel them coming this way. "Mica." Virion said calmly. "We got about five hundred more coming to the front of city, the other five hundred are in the middle."
