The armies fortress

The day had come valeriana stood with a sense of weakness as she watched all that was happening around her, the kinghts moved about the open field carry all what they needed she could tell the imperial kinghts from the others their shining amour paired with the color of the darkest blue signifying the darkest night they would fight through so that light may shine, for the weak and the innocent the ones without a voice, this was the only reason they fought it was the value ingrained in them by their lady commander speaking of their lady commander Val could not  help but look down at the sword in her hand.

Ouranos ( heavens sword) was held in her hand, it was tightly bundled so no one could catch a glimpse of it, the weight of the sword felt heavy in her graps despite being surprisingly
Light . If you were wondering how and why she was with it even she didn't know why but Joan had been insistent that she held it and kept it close saying it would be of great assistance when the time came asking her to familiarize herself with it for the time being, but something was off with the way Joan looked at ouranos with an intense gaze as if trying to figure out a secret hidden within the sword before she had told Val that the sword was key in fulfilling their mission  and then abruptly walking out shocking everyone by the sudden departure Charles following close by the two being stuck by the hip since her return. But Val didn't miss the distinct wave of demonic energy that hit her when the sword was exposed causing her to almost flatter but it went as quickly as it came causing Val to doubt what she felt but the thought lingered at the back of her mind what exactly could Joan be hiding at this point she trusted her not to harm them but she herself had spoken of an uncertainty a  serious flaw In their plans, she was not aware what the demons had done to her but she felt it would be their last resort to turn the tides of the war wether or not she could overcome what was to come would be the deciding factor of the war. No one understood this better than the four who had seen the mural In the floating island though they kept it a secret from the rest they couldn't help but cold sweat when that uncertainty was mentioned but somehow they believed in Joanna. Val still remembered how the weight of the situation finally hit her when headmaster kylon showed up with the sword presenting it to her to be in her protection and to carry it to victory the sword being in her grasp let her understand that there was no going back, this people put there trust in her and she could not let them down.

" A bit strange right ?, The arrangements going on just what is Joanna thinking?" A voice brought Val out if her head she turned to see Elaine standing next to her looking in front of her she finally could see what was in front of her eyes some civilian looking men and women stood surroundings some kingts in four large cirles they were a lot of them they wore green suggesting they where from dengovia in the middle of the circle with the kinghts when a hip of supplies what looked like medical supplies some cannons and catapults placed in specific positions as if following a formation Val couldn't help but scrunch her brow's in confusion , puppet who seemed to be holding a blueprint of sorts walked over ensuring everything was in the right position before giving the go ahead suddenly there was a great rumble as the ground shook causing unsuspecting people to lose balance , as clumsy as Val was she fell back on her butt with a thud she quickly looked over at the lady beside her seeing as she had managed to stay on her feet Val couldn't help feel embarrassed quickly standing up and dusting herself she was about to make a silly comment as she refocused her attention back in front of her but her words caught in her throat in front of her was four Identical structures coming together a tall pillar shot out of the ground some of the kingts inside the circle profitient in fire quickly set it ablaze with heat of high intensity melding any cracks together to make it sturdy it was quickly doused with water to cool down bye knights proficient In water a smooth round pillar came to light after the steam settled down. After that a round platform rose up lifting the part with the  catapults the knights quickly got to melding it with the pillar a second platform was made this time the canons where lifted the same process carried out finally a tower like structure was made with three sections connected my stairs to the side the down floor holding medical supplies , the second floor the cannons and the 3rd floor carried the catapults .
