Commander Magnus and Achromia travel along on horseback a path through the East Forest that leads back to the city of Solis after visiting with their old friends in Stonefist post. They converse with each other on how Tuvrial and Melga are doing well and are in high spirits despite another war with demons looming around the corner.
“How is your apprentice Kiva doing with her training commander?” Achromia asks curiously, looking at him from under her blue hooded cloak.
Magnus turns to look at his second in command with a raised eyebrow,
“She has a firm understanding of our weapons and tactics down, and of course a few of her own ideas, with how head strong she is. But unfortunately, her dragon magic has yet to fully surface from within. Why the sudden interest in her training Achromia?” Magnus asks.
“I wish to try and help her in manifesting her abilities, since Arkabon and Morgana have joined forces Commander,” she replies.
“I see well that would be greatly appre..” Magnus is suddenly cut off by a harrowing war cry from a group of death knights charging them carrying the standard of the Infernal army, Arkabon’s shock troops.

Mangus quickly draws his shield Dragmir, and his sword Dragnsoul and deflects the spear of a charging wraith, as another tries to wrap a chain of enfeeblement around Achromia to prevent her from using her spells.
Achromia quickly uses her magic to fly up above the group and casts a quick fire bolt at her would be attacker. Magnus blocks a fury of blows from three of the death knights with Dragmir, unfortunately the largest death knight appears from the shadows with a giant two-handed maul, it strikes Magnus’s horse in the head killing it instantly knocking Magnus off his horse, and the full weight of his horse lands on top of him.
Mangus grunts out in pain and spits blood onto the ground and looks up at the surrounding death knights who cackle as they close in. The death knight who carries the enfeeblement chain manages to throw and wrap it around Magnus sword arm preventing him from using his dragon magic. As the death knight captain looms over his quarry, he raises the maul again to deliver the final blow to their masters mortal enemy, a sudden crackling of fire is heard, a sound that has becomes one of Magnus’s favorite bring a smile to his bloodied lips, a large fire ball impacts the death knight captain setting him on fire.
The death knight captain takes several steps back howling in pain dropping the maul that lands with a thud, and tries to put itself out, two of the other death knights try to aid him but the fire jumps from one to another making them hiss and howl out in agony.
Magnus looks up into the sky and sees the Achromia is already casting another spell, he reaches into a pouch on his belt and pulls out a potion of healing, pops the cork on it and downs it quickly as the death knight who used the chain on him trying to prevent him from drinking.
After downing the potion Mangus feels the burning of the liquid down his throat and his new found strength wash over him, her tugs on the chain pulling the death knight over to him and stabs it through the mid-section and slices it in half its red glowing eyes fade into darkness as its soul passes into the afterlife.
The next two death knights are frozen in place by a freeze spell cast by Achromia, after Magnus removes the chain, he then unleashes a dragons breath attack melting and incineration the frozen death knights, he then turns the remaining ones,
“Are sure you wish to continue fighting, Achromia and i can do this all night” he says as Achromia lands by his side with hands beginning to glow and ready to cast another attack. The remaining death knights charge at the pair who launch fire attacks at their enemies burning them to cinder.
“It appears that Arkabon has made the first move…. we need to return to Solis quickly commander”, Achromia says as she mounts her horse riding up to Magnus who mounts up behind her.
“Agreed let us have the winds at our back Achromia,” he replies, with a snaping of the reigns Achromia’s horse takes off at full speed heading back to Solis.
