ORIGINLyon (Plural Lyons) is an individual that forms a deep connecting with a Sylvan Artifact created by the Seelie Court. This artifact is known, to Sylvans, as the Heart of the Forest. Art of the Archfeys shaped the artifact in form of a Lion Head with Unicorn and Stag horns. To be protected from the hands of evil, ancient Lyons have created a shell for the Heart of the Forest, a Crystal in many colors that over a long period of time with direct contact with the artifact became magical itself. The forest resided in the Fae and was enchanted with life. Beauty, harmony, peace lasted long but it had its end, when word of such artifact reached ears of evil Hags. To claim it, Hags started the First Forest War, and the Crystal was broken. Upon shattering in thousand of pieces, the shell that protected the Heart of the Forest, magics ripped the hole through time and space creating the Great Rift, sending pieces of the crystal as a meteor shower to the Prime Material Plane into the Cormanthyr. The Heart of the Forest found its way into the new world, a new forest, and with it surviving Lyons began a new life. New generations were born in Cormanthyr, but each had choice to to remain a Lyon or seek a new life elsewhere. The call of the Forest was strong, that even last generations can hear its music, and return to it even if their parents never mentioned it. Today Lyons continue to do what their sylvan ancestors did once. But as the Crystal is no more, the Lyons found way to access its magic, and become the protection of the Heart of the Forest themselves. Lyonsouls are individuals who share same or similar interest as Lyons and enjoy both benefit and consequence for being one the same community. Lyons is player made force of good in the Cormanthyr.

Title(s): Crystal Born, Forest Savior, Forestwalker, Voice of Freedom, Hag Slayer, Guardian of Faerie Power Level: Epic Fey Dominion: Lyons Forest Alignment: Chaotic good Favored Weapon: Bow of Dnilys (Long Bow) Synph was powerful fey, that inhabitants of Lyons Forest worship as hero of Lyons Forest who brought fey's joy and protected the land in wars against evil forces who want to destroy it. His worshipers believe that he is tied in Heart of the Forest, where he was born, and where he, according to wood sisters, rests. However, Synph is not real deity nor archfey, so he does not grant any powers if he is being worshiped. The crystals that enchant the forest is what life forms in the forest see as sign of his presence and influence on the forest. Synph is also seen as creator of Lyons. Synph is millennial old ancestor of Lyons, he is son of Archfey Damh and unknown wood nymph. WorshipersWood creatures who worship Synph are usually limited on fey inhabitants of Lyons Forest. Outsiders would require interaction with a Lyon to find out about Synph. In that case these individuals who would worship Synph would be artists, singers and musicians, druids and others who enjoy freedom, love, passion, song and nature. AppearanceSynph is very attractive, and what can be first noticed on him are his crystal horns. Horns seems the only thing that resemble his Satyr ancestors, while everything else could be described as handsome male nymph. His eyes are blue like sea, and he has gold hair. He could change size of his horns at will, even to the point to go without horns. He often does not wear anything, even in combat because his appearance is usually his strongest weapon, and humanoid enemies could be stunned by him despite of gender. When he does wear something it is usually leather or cloth. He can use his horns as weapon as well, but there is a short sword enchanted with the Heart of the Forest, and bow of Dnylis. HistoryNear thousand years ago Synph walked through, today called, Lyons Forest. His Nymph mother went pregnant with a member of Seelie Court, Damh (Satyr son of Titania and Oberon), conceived and born in presence and influence of the seelie made crystal called Forest Heart (Forest Heart was in shape of a Lion Head that has Unicorn and Stag horns on the sides, from where the name Lyon was made). His birth alerted Wood Sister Circle, who were following the progress of his life. As he was growing up, his crystal gold horns' power could be felt on long distance. Inhabitants of the Enchanted Woods believed that he was the life form of the Forest Crystal itself. And as he became adult the forest chose to follow his lead. He developed supernatural abilities that he used to protect the forest from hags and other evil fey who wanted to destroy the happy life and beauty of the Forest. Wood Sisters' Circle aided him and accepted him as Forest Savior, even if he was a male. Hag attacks were greatly reduced by Synph, and it triggered acting of Hag Queens, who wanted to know what power is that keeps her servants and sisters away from the forest, and why they never return back when sent to invade. When they found out about Synph and his crystal horns' abilities, they wanted to achieve the same power that he has. It led to First Great Forest War, when thousands of evil fey swallowed the Enchanted Forest, and many innocent died. Hag Queens surrounded Synph, and it was first time when he released the power within Crystal Song, destroying more than 90% of the enemy's numbers. One Hag Queen was able to survive and continue battle with Synph, one on one, at core of the Crystal. It was Hag Queen Natalia Darkwitch, the leader of the attack. They dueled 7 days without break. Hag Queen was able to take away the Lute that Synph made. As she garbed it, it started to burn her hands, and in attempt to get the lute back, Synph's and Hag Queen's powers destroyed the Forest Crystal with explosion. Synph stabbed his lute in Hag Queen's brain, and tried to stop the Crystal's breaking. The sky was flowed with thousands of small crystals of the Forest Crystal's pieces. Cracks were reaching the base of the Crystal, where Synph hit with his crystal horns, and got pulled himself inside the crystal's base, which healed the the Crystal Base. But all other pieces were spread across the forest, together with fire, opening ways to Prime Material Plane. Forest was almost lifeless after this war. Survived Wood Sisters kept the circle and continued to heal the land, worshiping Synph for given this hope, to restore the forest, because without him, the evil fey would not be stopped, and restoring the forest would not be possible. But soon they realized that they were not in their home plane anymore. RelationshipsSynph had his favored gods and goddess, like Sune where he agrees that beauty is of great deal in life, with difference that fashion is not best way to show beauty and that natural beauty is what counts, where makeup and wears would be used to cover a truth or a flaw. He adores Mielikki because they share a lot views on forests. There are other nature deities that he gave respect as well, great deal towards Seldarine and Lathander. In private life Synph had Wood Nymph Lilly, for his love. She was member of the Wood Sisters' Circle. They lived happily till First Great Forest War, when they had to separate. Lilly was pregnant and could not aid his love in the war, he insisted for her to flee from the Forest. She ended up in Cormanthyr Forest after his death, through path way that suddenly appeared in front of her after the big crystal's explosion. What happened with her after is unknown, but there are rumors that she still might be alive. From her baby generations came and went to the today called Family Lyons. DogmaAs I walk freely through a forest, dance and joy will follow. Protect the Forest you walk, or dance and joy cannot follow. Protect trees and wood spirits, be enchantment of the woods, heal and restore land and nature where it's needed. Every your step needs to be a call for a dance. Smile always and stay happy even in darkest moments, because forcing positive emotions can make you feel better, and when we feel good we can do anything. Defend those who do same, from hag and creatures of the dark and evil force, and try to save even them if possible from corruption, darkness, poison and disease. If there is no choice end their life as painless it can be. Do not shy from your natural beauty or fear to show it, walk with a pride of what you are as a true Lyon would. Song of the wild can open heart of any creature. Life without a melody is like life without love. Love those who are close to you and inspire others to love and share. Love is what makes us one big family and what gives purpose to life.First Appearance"Secrets of the Forest" story in "Book of Lyons"Synph appears in vision quest when Leo Lyon bites fruit of Dnylis. Synph is one of the locked forest secrets in the story that Lyons were able to unlock. QuotesQuotes from Secrets of the Story, about Synph "This is Synph. A miracle of nature. Half Nymph, Half Satyr creature. Brought on this world by love of both species, love that happened before (at) the Forest Crystal. Inhabitants of the forest believed and still do that this creature was the life form of the Crystal itself, and today he is worshiped as one of deity who protected this forest. His charms encahted this forest along with this Forest Crystal. As long he lived, there was peace in the forest, harmony and beauty. Life here was like a heaven. Under his lead even celestial beings were coming here to visit his forest, this place, or even to move in."
"Synph created lute, that could be used only by his blood, like yourself. He lived happy with his wife Lilly. He knew that nothing lasts forever, and that great battle will end this life in the forest. Evil Fey raised against his lead, they wanted the Forest Crystal, and to make the forest dark woods. Synph fought in this war, and lost his life in it. He protected the Forest Crystal, his lute was deadly against evil beings, but enemy found a way to use it, and it was misused by enemy to break the Forest Crystal. Thousands of Crystal pieces spread across the forest. Synph used all healing power he had, to heal the base of the Crystal during the explosion, and with doing this, his life disappeared. He became the reflection in the crystal, a crystal statue that is located inside Green Hills, guarded by Forest Keeper Xatimus. Lyons believe he is inside it, that his journey ended there, there where it started."Notes: Synph is not a deity lore wise, he does not grant powers if worshiped, cannot be selected in game and cannot grant domains. He is seen and worshiped by Lyons Forest anyway. Listed domains is only what is ICly known to forest, what was eventually, like titles, added to Synph character by worshipers and passed from knee to knee. To make this very clear, Synph is a powerful fey spirit, but not a deity or an archfey.
- Dnylis Tree:
First Appearance: "Secrets of the Forest" story in "Book of Lyons"
One of the oldest and extremely rare trees of knowledge are Dnylis Trees. It is the first type of trees that ever grew in the forest. Roots of one Dnylis Tree can reach miles away from its growing spot. What makes this Tree different than others is that it can memorize the events that are happening on the lands that their roots can reach. And this knowledge can be accessed by eating the fruit of Dnylis. However some Dnylis Trees are old thousands of years and the effect of their fruits can be deadly, because they carry too much information and knowledge of the land that can overload mind of an individual who eats it. Only Forest Furies are immune on its effect. In "Secrets of the Forest" story Lyons Family are finding this tree, and seek for answer how to rescue their family member - Maya Lyon. But they were attacked by evil hags and during the attack the tree was destroyed. Guardian of this Tree is one of the last survivors of the Wood Sisters' Circle called Enia. She was able to keep seeds from the tree, to eventually restore it in next coming years. Its fruit is forbidden and it fully grows with its effect only first ten days in spring. It never falls from the tree.
Enia's Quotes from the Book: "The name of this Tree is Dnylis. This is extremely old tree I am guarding. Perhaps old as the land itself. You will find almost no Dnylis Tree in the Forest. This Forest has only few. There were many before the Forest Wars. Besides of their very long life, specifics of this tree is in holding feelings and memories of the land. Someone could call it Forest Library. Those who have strong will can access visions by eating its fruits and come to knowledge that this Tree is holding for thousands of years. The tree learns more and more every day about what is happening on these lands. But not many can survive its effect. Even if they do their brain can easy end up damaged because of the number of the information they receive for short period of time. Meaning - The older Dnylis is, the deadlier it becomes."
Notes: The Forest is considered main area as guild map, Lyons Home is optional, unlike other guilds who have main interior area of their construction, Lyons Have the Forest, like druids have druid grove. The Forest would match Guild Hall size requirements. One map is enough to be owned by Lyons. Some guilds have more than one area, we will try to earn same right as they for Lyons Home, the construction building, where the core of crystal is located. Server Benefits? I can say what I heard from other players. There are many empty forest maps, and few to grind comparing to Shadowdale City, where everything is located there on one place, and yet Cormanthor as massive appearance to server has only forest goblins and if you count spiders in Midwood where you need high level. You could add grinding animal and fey areas, where good people can hunt Hags and such and evil people could go hunt dryads and can also hunt the Hags, and some areas with spirits. It also benefits Spirit Shaman class, class that can finally have chance to use spirit abilities as the fey are considered spirits. Does not matter will you use Lyons lore or your own, but if it is Lyons lore, we will not mind. Those maps will not belong to Lyons Guild and will be accessible by anyone. We will not pay tokens and gold for those public maps. It is all about your wish to expand server and offer players something else but Shadowdale city. Additionally any future meetings with Dnylis fruits to use them needs DM approval and observation.
- Mythal War:
Mythal War included undead attacks lead by Liches on Lyons Forest with attempt to claim Lyon Unicorn Fernaco, with intention to use him for ritual of breaching Mythal, the magical field that protects Myth Drannor from dark and evil creatures. There were two attacks on Lyons Forest, and the first one happened on celebration of their anniversary.
FIRST ATTACK on UNICORN (LYONCORN) The celebration in Lyons Forest started well. People came to spend this day with Lyons. Everything was going fine. Leo listed the heroes of Lyons Forest. Ashton was performing his music. Public was listening. Entire forest was happy. The suddenly there was a scream. Something was coming. The dead raised from the Dalanis River. They attacked all the living. Greenleaf defended the forest. Celebration instantly ended. Lyons and their friends joined the battle. Powerful undead they were, difficult to kill. We had help of dragons, the two druidess who took their forms, one was a Lyon, the other was member of the Druid's Circle. Trees were set on fire, taint started to spread, the stench of walking dead was killing the aroma of enchanted Lyons Forest. Heroes fought bravely. But they could not reach the Great Tree Dnylis on time. Enia and Unicorn Fernaco were attacked. And numbers of undead blocked the path to them. When finally every undead was slain, and path to great tree was clear, Enia stood there alone, sad, desperate, for the White Daring Unicorn Fernaco was no longer with her. She cried out his name, she said that the Unicorn was taken. Defenders of Lyons Forest quickly followed towards the exit of the land, finding a portal in Cormanthor Forest. It took them to desert, full of undead. But Lyons and their friends were able to track the scent of Unicorn, and fight their way to him. Unicorn was bleeding, trapped in a circle, as a present to a lich. Heroes weakened the circle, the barrier, with combination of their dispel magic. And Fernaco breached through it with his unicorn horn. He retreated from the coming battle, because heroes asked him too. And then the heroes faced the powerful lich, who was only a servant to unknown master. The Lich summoned many undead, and with night falling, more shadows joined, too many for heroes to handle. But heroes defeated the lich and gathered its dust, as well as the tainted ground where unicorn blood was used for some kind of magic. Heroes retreated through the portal that closed with dispel magic, and Fernaco was healed. His wounds are closed by gifts of Mielikki, but Fernaco was cut down with dark blades, and it is under question will the Lyon Unicorn remain to be pure? Forest needs to be healed, heavy days are ahead of its guardians. And while the battle was won, the danger is still somewhere out there.
List of Participants in this battle who aided Lyons in first attack on Unicorn:
Lhanir Syl'tarande - The Archdruidess at the time Lucent J. Mayer - Half Dragon
SECOND ATTACK on UNICORN (LYONCORN) The following story is a rewritten scene from in game event of Second Attack on Unicorn. This writing has no official approval of DMs, and maybe not from some players. Thus this story is not considered cannon until/unless it gathers approvals of all involved. It describes finals of the battle from the in game event, of how we personally imagined it.
The evil storm has arrived to our land, with darkness riding upon it. It brought only smell of death, pain and suffering. I stood on the hill near our holy tree to protect what they came for, our Unicorn. When I cast my sight down upon the battle that still did not reach me, I saw that into this darkness, Lyons, Ironhouse and Akh’Velahr are One. Perhaps that was the only good thing to see during the battle. We were even given aid by those who we consider tainted with fiend blood ...
Flying undead attack the holy tree with fire balls from skies. But a shield forms before them and prevents them from harming the tree and Unicorn. When the fire and smoke faded away, a tiefling was standing there, reading a scroll that protected the pure from harm. When Akh’Velahr Archers regained control over the flying enemies, he looked me into eyes with his flaming ones, and somehow I found trust in them, even if I never welcomed his presence. His name is Kalthanar Demascus, he gave me ensuring nod before he took his two blades from his back, and charged down the hill. With flip in air of few meters jump, he landed with his feet on the shoulders of an undead, cutting its head off before jumping from its shoulder onto the next. Undead heads were rolling everywhere, crushed beneath the feet of our men. But at some points some undead were overwhelming us. Wounded were retreating from the undead until flash of light covered the area, centered at the priestess. Those who bath in her winds and light felt healed, and undead felt weak. Soon her magic turned odds of the battle, as the men around her started destroying undead. Her name is Maura Zephyros, and she is the Priestess of Rider of the Winds. The Lich saw her as a threat to her plans, so that Lich herself sneaks behind her to kill her. With satisfied smile on her face, the Lich taught that she had everything under control. When she rose her deadly claw in the air to strike Maura, two blades come out from her chest. She has been stabbed from behind by Kalthanar, and after a short scream Lich turns into dust. Maura quickly turns to see what is happening behind her.
Kalthanar: "Careful Love." Kalthanar stands back to back with Maura as they fight undead together and talk. Maura: "I did not sense her coming. That was not the real Lich." Kalthanar: "I figured out she would not die so easily. The coward sends images because she is afraid to show her true self." Maura: "She wants to distract us from reaching her goal. Look!" Maura points at the darkness concentration on the hill near the holy tree, where the true Lich is appearing. "We need to send message to Bryanna." Kalthanar: "There are waves of undead between us, where are the messengers?" Two fairies, Aesa and Vine come out of nowhere flying around Kalthanar head and talk fast with high pitched tone, hard to understand. Kalthanar trying to catch them with his eyes, and then gives up annoyed. The fairies then fly away as fast as they can and Kalthanar looks back at Maura: "Remind me again why are we defending this weird place?" Maura just shakes her head at Kalthanar and smiles. The two of them start clearing the path from undead.
With one swing of blade several undead heads fall off. The blade wields weapon master, and her name is Sara Panthera. Two vampire warriors surround her, one from front and one from behind her. Aware of both, she simply grips the hilt of her weapon, and when they strike at her, she bends under their swings and cuts their legs at knees. They fall helpless on the ground, and she finishes them off by removing their heads. Swarm of bats form into a female vampire few meters away from Sara. She wields magic as her weapon and shoots fire beams at Sara. Sara rolls away from the first two beams and then uses her shield to block next. When the vampire takes a pause to recharge her power, a beautiful tree behind Sara is caught on fire. Sara gets distracted by the fire and where it may spread, which the vampire mage uses to her advantage to levitate behind Sara. She summons a fire ball in her hand and when she was just about to throw it, a sword from behind dives into her back and exits between her breasts. The vampire screams in pain and explodes into flying bats. Sara quickly turns towards the scream to see who killed the vampire. And there she was standing in colors of Ironhouse, as light in this darkness, her name is Tazla Kitara Bryanna Lovich - Paladin. Bryanna steps forward towards Sara, and the two buzzing faeries, Aesa and Vine, fly over Bryanna's head, circling with high pitched noises, before they disappear again. Getting their message, Bryanna turns towards the hill where Unicorn is guarded, seeing the forming darkness of true Lich.
Bryanna: "Unicorn is in danger. The Lich is only faking her battle over here so she can take what she came for." Sara: "How did you understand at all what they flying pixies told you?" Bryanna: "When you spend some time with Lyons you get to understand what they are saying, eventually ... that actually sounds more scary now when I admitted it out loud." The fire starts spreading from that one tree onto other, Bryanna gives it unpleasant look and then looks again at Sara: "Is there anything you can do to help against the fire? If entire forest burns then we will fail defending this place." Sara: "There is something I can do. I will join you as soon as I can." Sara puts her weapon away and reaches for the book of waves. This book holds magic of water spirits that can stop the fire. Bryanna quickly starts making her way towards Leo but Lich's illusion appears in front of her. Lich: "You mortals never learn do you?" Bryanna wastes no time on her image and simply walks through it, with swing of her sword Bryanna shatters the image of the Lich into thousand pieces. But then ground starts to shake. Bryanna stops and looks around, seeing a huge undead troll storming at her. She grips her shield and sword and takes defensive position. This troll would prevent her from coming to the Unicorn on time, which leaves displeased expression on Bryanna's face. But then from the left side not so far in the distance elven mages and archers start hitting the troll with their magics, slowing it down and eventually changing troll's focus away from Bryanna. They are being led by dark skinned half human half moon elf, her name is Mineva Aranese DeAnthea Anjali. Mineva shouts to Bryanna: "We'll take care of this, go!" Bryanna nods to Mineva and then tosses another glance at Dnylis Tree. Lich and Leo were already engaged in combat. Bryanna would think to herself: "Just hold it Leo, I am coming."
Mineva charges at troll, her golden eyes already brought sentence upon it. With her new made maces of silver she dispatches four skeletons that were on her way. An elf tosses her a rope that she catches while running and putting her maces away at same time. The giant troll swings huge club at her but Mineva slips under it and runs between and around troll's legs, letting the rope slowly bind it. That was not enough so when troll attacked again, Mineva jumped with double flip on troll's club while it was still planted in the ground. She ran up on it and then up troll's arm until she reached for his shoulders, and moved around troll's neck, moving herself behind troll's head. Elves on the ground grabbed the rope and started pulling, while Mineva was chocking the troll behind its head until the troll was finally brought to the ground. Mineva would safely land by bouncing of troll's neck. There she approaches at downed troll with cat walk, taking a potion of alchemist fire and then she forced it down the troll's mouth: "You want to hurt friends of cats (Bryanna, Leo), then you will have to deal with me first.". Mineva takes her blade and dives it in the troll's head, with fire inside his body, the troll starts burning into ash.
Leo is blocking dark magic of the Lich with his staff until it's being broken. He is now having hard time to stop the dark magic with his bare hands. The Lich ends her spell by knocking him down, but Leo quickly rises on his feet. Lich: "Impressive for a mortal. Even if I do not win today I have thousands lives ahead of me to win this war." Leo: "Thousands lives for thousands falls. Eventually you may learn the lesson that you cannot defeat us when we are united. Love binds us, something that is unknown to undead. You are fueled with hate against all living, and that is why you will not prevail." Lich: "The Unicorn will be mine, and all your souls. I will try to not damage your bodies however, they still may prove useful to me. I will create army of Akh’Velahr Undead, and use it to take over Myth Drannor. How that feels ArchLyon? By bringing them here you just turned them into my tools. Those who die to protect the Mythal today will be those who will help me to take it down!" Leo: "Enough talk! You will pay for every elven, dwarven and sylvan life you harmed today." Lich conjures a dark chain and throws it at Leo, binding him for neck. She sends dark energies through the chai into Leo's body, torturing him. Leo gathers fortitude and steps on the chain with his foot, pulling the Lich towards him, where her jaw meets Leo's elbow from beneath. Leo sends Lich back, she drops the dark chain which turns into dust as soon she disconnects from it, setting Leo free. Leo growls and charges at Lich with natural attacks (hands, feet, bites). Being too close Lich was unable to use some of her powerful magics as she was pushing Leo away with her hands, while he was trying to bite off her face. Lich's vampires grab Leo for shoulders and pull him away from the Lich, biting him on the way. Leo groans and one of his hand changes into wooden stick which he uses to kill two vampires on him. But soon more and more vampires start charging at him, more than he can handle. They overpower him and bring him down on the ground, keep feeding on his blood, and he slowly starts to lose strength. Lich now eyes Unicorn, nothing was standing between her and him anymore now. Satisfied she slowly makes her steps towards Fernaco. But then suddenly Enia separates from Dnylis tree, and stands between Lich and Unicorn.
Enia: "Stay away from him. You will not have him!" Angry wood sister addresses the Lich, and there is a fear in her voice from it, however she still dares to stand on the path of Lich. Lich: "A dryad? Really? How pathetic. What are you going to do, hit me with a flower spell?" Lich mocks Enia, and laughs at her appearance. Beautiful Enia feels insulted by Lich's behavior and frowns. With anger in her voice now filled with sylvan words, she summons roots from the ground, the roots of Dnylis tree itself. They wrap around Lich's legs and arms, and then stab her body. Root's ends start exiting on Lich's face, and the Lich starts to scream in pain. Lich falls on her knees and glances at Enia, regretting for underestimating her. Enia: "This tree feels and remembers all what happens within the range of its roots. Now I project all the pain you caused today on us, into you! It is strong enough to destroy you!"Enia makes step forward and rises tone of her chanting as she empowers her magic even further, making the Lich suffer and actually the Lich starts dying. More dryads lay their hands on the Dnylis tree, all that belong Enia's circle to support her magic. Fruits and flowers in tree top of the Dnylis begin to glow. Liching unable to break the spell has no other but to telepathically calls for Soul Taker Rider of Nightmare. Lich: "I am in danger. Destroy the spirit of Dnylis now!" From the battle in sky, riding the flaming horse, an undead covered in black robes with only red glowing yes from the darkness inside his hood, grips his scythe and moves towards Enia. Commander of Shadowdale Asha kills two zombies and one skeleton, and then she glances at Enia, smiling as she is finishing the Lich. Suddenly Asha feels presence of cold darkness, and then she spots Nightmare storming towards Enia, with undead rider on it holding scythe. Asha drops her shield so she can run faster, and she runs as fast as she can to save her. Asha was faster than Soul Taker because she was closer to Enia, but she was not fast enough. Asha pushes Enia away from the scythe of Soul Taker, and she herself receives the deadly strike meant for Enia. Enia falls on ground and had only a moment to look Asha into eyes. Enia's eyes then fall down towards Asha's chest, from where the shapr end of the scythe was coming out. Soul Take continues to ride, pulling Asha away from Enia into the air, and the dropping her few meters away, where Asha falls and no longer gives any sign of life, her sword plants on the ground next to her where she dropped it. Now with spell being interrupted, Lich recovers with negative energies and rises before Enia on ground. Lich seems pissed off, but decided no longer to play with dryad. Lich starts to chant a powerful spell. Dark symbols form in front of her hand. But flash of light interrupts her as she covers her eyes. This light beams from a single person, turning and destroying all undead on its way. Vampires that were feeding on turn into dust. Little blinded himself, Leo slowly open his eyes, and as his blurry vision clears, he sees Bryanna standing before him, offer her hand to Leo. Leo takes her hand and she helps him get up on feet, healing his wounds with lay on hands. The bite wounds on Leo's body start to heal. Leo: "You made it." Bryanna: "Of course I did. Run now Leo, I got this one (Lich)" Leo: "No, together to the end." Lich looks angry at Bryanna and her paladin powers that destroyed more than half of undead around the Dnylis Tree. Bryanna grips her sword and shield and then charges first at the Lich. Leo then follows her behind. Lich dodges two attacks from Bryanna and the unleashes beam of negative energy at the paladin. Bryanna blocks it with her shield but the beam pushes her back. However Leo gently supports Bryanna from behind leaning his shoulder and neck against Bryanna's back, pushing her forward. Like this Bryanna does not stagger back but instead bashes the Lich with her shield, pushing her forward. Lich steps back and attempts to defend from incoming sword strikes of Bryanna. Leo dashes behind the Lich with lion swiftness and grabs her for arms, allowing Bryanna to make easy smite evil strike. She dives her sword into Lich's chest and Lich screams. The sun starts to rise on horizon and Bryanna pulls out her sword from Lich's chest. Bryanna would lean forward to Lich and whisper: "You failed Lich. Hear His Roar." And then Bryanna dives her sword into Lich's head. Leo steps away and Lich's body starts to shake abnormally fast until it explodes in dark dust. Bryanna relaxes her sword, breathing heavily and looks at Leo. Sara comes to check on Bryanna, placing her hand on Bryanna's shoulder. Intelligent undead feel weaker now with Lich gone, and start to retreat. Stupid ones get easily destroyed by remaining forces of the heroes. Kalthanar, Maura and Mineva arrive running with their men, leaving field of defeated enemies behind them, and when they see the fall of Lich they smile to each other. They turn towards the rising sun. Kalthanar leans forward to kiss Maura but! pixies Aesa and Vine fly over happily buzzing around Kalthanar's head, interrupting his moment. He sighs annoyed: "Not this again."
