"We have breached the wall!"

"Excellent! Quickly everyone, just as planned! Go forward!"

The group of prepared warriors came in and stormed the fortress and began warring, the latest of a long series of battles in this war. The war was between the Atzlan Alliance, a group of various tribes and groups agaist the Espada Empire, an invading force that encroached onto their lands and thus, has been a war to push them over control of the continent. Of course, right now they were on neither's terrirtory, but on the territory of the Deunords, a group of people held together in a complex web of politics and a long-time rival to the Espada Empire or rather their patron Church due to the Holy Schism.

As such, they had assisted the Atzlan in modernizing for warfare and helped them out in reclaiming the last of a particular duchy of territory.

However... matters would change here.

Diego Vendrix was a prominent member of one of the tribes. Formerly the son of a merchant, his father's death spurred him to war and turned him from an alchemist's apprentice into a capable warrior, even if he had to test brews in himself to accelerate his growth and augment his strength. It worked more or less so no one complained. It did mean he stood out a bit from most others given he was a scholar firrst.

"Are you okay?" he asked a woman who he saw in some sort of wooden pole and began untying her. They likely were gonna put on fire before they came in to attack. The young lady would observe the man:

He was a pretty tall guy, about 6 foot even and with a stocky build, he looked pretty imposing. He wasn't super muscular, but he definitely showed he lived an active lifestyle. His black hair and brown eyes were pretty ordinary, but his face stood out. It looked boyish though it was hard to tell with the shaggy mane of hair along with a beard, likely grown as a response to the oncoming colder weather, especially here in the mroe northern part of this continent that was relatively foreign to the Aztlan Alliance, hence the assistance needed. He was pretty tan, almost like he was in the Middle Sea islands or lands associated though a bit tanner. At the same time, his face showed he was definitely of mixed blood. He was dressed in a mix of clothing and leather aror with metal pieces though with bright and decorated colors and with some paint on them. Even some of the pelt was of the jaguar, not native to this continent, but to that of his home land.
 
"Kill the witch!"

"Burn her at the stake. She's in league with the devil!"

This is what the townspeople yelled at her as she was tied with ropes around a large wooden stake. What the hell had she done you might ask? For as long as she could remember Gabriela De Leon was what some would call gifted. Others might look at it and believe she had been touched by the devil and sent to earth to do harm.

The townspeople were fearful. Many of them had never been outside of their little city and were only accustomed to hearing the word of the Chruch around them. And after hearing for years that Gabriela was evil the people finally believed her. It was prophetic dreams and the final straw was the dream she had before. Gabriela saw a group of warriors coming and attacking the city. She tried to warn everyone but they chose to believe that she was what caused it. She tried to reason with them and she knew there was nothing she could do. She shook her head as the yelled and jeered at her. She knew better. Why the hell didn't she just leave? She thought to herself. At least she'd finally be free.

They'd kill her and then they would be killed by the invaders. The war had made people fearful and angry. They in turn villainized her for trying to protect them. She closed her eyes and accepted her fate before hearing the loud rumbling of men charging. The people surrounding her turned to look at their "impenetrable" wall came crashing down. Gabriela opened her eyes. This was the exact scene she had witnessed in her dreams. The terrified screams. The clashing of metal. The scent of death in the air.

Gabriela watched as a large man came up to her and with the care, she didn't realize a man who looked like him possessed he asked if she was ok as he undid her bonds. The beauty rubbed her wrists as the ropes had cut into her skin and cut off the blood flow. "Thank you first off...but no I...I'm not ok...I tried to want them..." she said as she looked out into the panicked crowd.

Gabriela stood at about 5 foot 6 inches. She had jet black hair that fell down in beautiful waves down her back. Her tan looking sunkissed. Her skin was soft and naturally smooth. Her eyes a light brown that twinkled in the sunlight. Her breasts were voluptuous and perky. She had a natural hourglass figure and nice wide hips that tapered off to her slim and toned legs. She was a beauty and if it hadn't been for her gifts she would have no doubt been married off.
 
"Do not worry. you are safe now," Diego said as he looked at the young lady. She was definitely quite attactive though she did look a bit unfitting from this part of the area. "Where are you from? You do not look like you can from here?" he noted, wondering if perhaps she was from the warmer climates down south. After all, they did make their way over there as they were tied to the complex political system of the Deunords.

He did admire how beautiful Gabriella was and he picked her up bridal style and began taking her out of the village as the crusaders placed there were being defeated by the horde and then came the reinforcements of the Deunords, who were happy to reclaim their town.

"You quite pretty. Why were you tied?" he asked her as he kept holding her and out of the fort. The warriors were wielding modernized versions of their traditional weapons. The wooden clubs with obsidian blades on the edge from yesteryear were updated through alchemy, resulting in blades of alchemy-treated woodes and a smooth continuous edge of alchemized obsidion, able to maintian its edge and being more durable as they came in.

He awaited her answer as the town was being reclaimed.
