Miles out of Ravens tribe, was a Crusader Military camp preparing make Siege against their enemies base. As the Generals and the Grandmaster made last minute updates on their plan of Attack, after leaving that the bardic tribals built a wooden wall around themselves and they only had one entrance. So they gathered themselves the best engineers and bought the Artillery in started opening fire at the enemy base At exactly 9pm (2100 hours) and didn't stop until the very next morning from the Tree-line.

A total of 15 105mm artillery was used firing approximately 50 rounds per minute using unstable High-Explosive (HE) Dust with great effect, causing the enemy to lose sleep throughout the whole time as Shells rained down treating to kill them every damn minute.

By morning arrived most of Ravens tide were tired as hell and lost some morale in the upcoming battle against the Crusaders who were determined to kill everyone except Raven herself.

As the Battering Ram approached the gate several Crusaders began pulling back the large ram machine began ramming it into the gate shaking the gate as its metal shielding roof blocked majority of the Tribals dust rounds that they were firing from their rifles. As the Crusader riflemen began firing at the unprepared tribals who were instantly killed by the (Aura penetrating) AP rounds as the ram finally broke through the enemy's gate the Crusaders rushed in like a title wave washing over a sand castle.

The sound of sword clashing and gunfire echoed across the battlefield as the Grandmaster arrived in his armor and looked around the battlefield before noticing his target Raven and marching towards her while striking any unfortunate enemy in his way...

Raven who looked absolutely pissed off took her anger out on any unfortunate crusader who had ended up fighting her and where struck down and called "weak" by Raven before noticing a Crusader holding a Glowing holy sword (Excalibur) in his hand. Raven rushed towards her new "Target" only to be blocked by her new opponent with his sword as his hooded cape flew behind him like a hero would before they started dueling it out Spring Maiden vs King of Crusaders.

The fight caught several fighters including their enemies eyes seeing them go all out and be of equal fighting but the difference between them was one was a Pendragon. Arthur dodge Ravens strike, as Arthur raised his Excalibur and brought it down as Raven blocked the strike a powerful gust of wind blasted outward as everyone around them started fighting again.

Arthur blocked and strike back whenever he could until he noticed something and smiled and his sword started glowing brightly as He raised up above his head as Raven saw this and tried to block his attack, as Arthur's blade touched Ravens Blane it snapped as a massive explosion erupted as a beam of Holy Light shot up towards the sky like a Beacon. When the beam disappeared and the battle was over several Crusaders who were covered in blood made their way to their grandmaster was last standing.

Once the dust settled the Crusaders sighed in relief as they Arthur on one knee and both hands gripped tightly around the sword as he looked where he struck Raven last stood. Instead they saw the badly wounded and nearly crippled Raven laying down on the ground with a slash mark across her chest and her right arm was completely severed leaving a stump behind which  some field Medics took the now only prisoner of war away and would begin surgery to make sure she doesn't die from blood loss...

Crusader sergeant: you alright my lord?

Arthur: *heavy breaths* yes just tried. I'll be fine in a little bit.

Crusader Sgt: understood.

The Sergeant began to round up the other Crusaders and prepare for their victory party soon. Arthur on the other hand wasn't thrilled about it, but he knew something bad was coming soon. What he didn't know, but he knew he had prepared himself when it comes, they would face Arthur's wrath very soon.

(Two Days later)

Arthur packed his belongings and whatever needed supplies from medical to simple sewing supplies. Emily watched her father while being on a chair while holding and reading the Bible.

It was given to her by Mother Asia the head Nun of Michael's church and was the caretaker of the unfortunate orphaned babies who the Crusaders found after finding a village infested with Grimm and only a couple infants were found alive. The rest including parents, the Elderly and even children were blessed in their coffins to be with the lord up above before being buried with a large stone with the words:

"Here Rest in Honored Glory an Unknown Angel Known but to God."

And with that they walked away thanking the Lord to watch over them in heaven up above. Arthur remembered being there watching each poor soul taken too early in life by the Demons that lay in wait for their next victim... it almost broke him, to think that his adopted daughter could have been one of the unfortunate victims of the Grimm attacks days before the siege of Ravens tribe began.

Arthur shook through thoughts out and once he was done packing he put on his backpack on around his back and picked up Emily and they left their room inside the Fortress knowing that their lord needed them somewhere else, and Arthur answered his call and will do his lords bidding and follow the path to where his lord would take him...

To Vale ....
