Once there a odd calm settled over the land. Tall walls of stone would surround them, A lonely Farm Building and a make-shift fence. There was not a soul in sight. Of course that is until a female dressed in all white emerged over one of the near by cliffs. She had gauntlets on that were infused with various gem's of varying hews and she clearly knew the Knight's as some of the Knights knew her. A few words were exchanged before large Pylon's fell from the sky and surrounded the farmstead. Soon after a Capsule fell from the sky as well landing at the center of the Knights that had gathered. Injuries would ensue but there was little time to react, combat would engage immediately as the dust settled and a Magitek Spider emerged from the Capsule.

The Combat was tremendously difficult, the Machine was superior in design and from what little people knew about it; they knew it at least it was capable of delivering serious amounts of damage. They fought hard forgetting one important lesson; Retreat is an option. They fought and fought and the Magitek was not slowing down. People were getting injured left and right.. until finally the pylons were noted. They attacked the Pylons and a formal retreat occurred. Last moment, A lone Monk ran into the scene to buy the Knights time to escape on which the Monk was just keeping the Magitek Busy not bothering to really engage it before he too fled... The Night would be long for those who made camp to tend to wounds.

This designated base of operations had a clear altitude advantage to the surrounding landscape as well as ample water supply. It also had caves to protect them from harsh rains, and from mild bombardment if it came to it. The Miqo'te tribe stationed there would welcome the knights and in return the Knights would tend to minor chores to keep good faith and be proper guests in their home. These chores were everything from Cooking, Hunting and even Medical Assistance. While most of the Knights had chores the others would secure posts for guarding and defense. Soon regular operations would commence as Patrols and scouting parties from the Order would be sent out into the lands to ensure no further surprises fell onto their laps.

The Order of the Knights met up in the late hours to go over the planning process on how to get the Ala Mhigan Captive's at the 'Comet's Tail'. Two groups would be organized, one led by Ryslo and the other led by Bard. Ryslo's group would be sent ahead of Bard's to act as a distraction against the forces stationed at the cave, while Bard's group mustered reinforcements that were meant to strengthen the Knights Position by performing a pincer attack on the Defenders. That said the members of the Distraction team were as follows: Eir, Cyneler, Syna, Osuguma, Keelindsey, Sehra, and of course Ryslo.

This report is based on the events that happend with the Distraction Force. As they proceeded West and down through narrow passages they eventually ended up at a wooded area. The tree's were bent and twisted, and most of the foilage was decayed or missing. Small canal's of water acted as the welcome mat to the cave's entrance and as the Knight's entered the cave they would greeted by a purple haze that glowed from off the cave's walls. Descending deeper into the cave they would run across three Imperials. Each dressed in Dark Armor accompanied by a white half-cape that slung down their left arm. The Insignia of the Empire was embroidered upon the white cloth in a vibrant red, altered slightly to bear a upside down wing. At the center of these three individuals was a Ala Mhigan Child that was stuck in levitation as a purple haze covered his petite form. The child was being raised toward the ceiling where the rock seem bend and twist like water being disturbed.

Wasting no time, the Knights didn't hesitate. Keelindsey would charge in and leap upon the Child dragging him down to the ground, covering the petite form with her own body. Sehra, Eri, Cyneler, Ryslo and Osuguma charged forward and engaged the Imperials immediately buying time for the small child to flee. Combat engaged immediately as the sound of metal sung through the air and the sharp bellowing sound of bullet's rattled the airway. The Knights would dispatch the three Imperials only to find more imperials coming at them from two sides! Having to split their attention the fighting was intensified and slowly the knights were losing ground. Injuries started to pile up upon them and worse of all they learned mid-combat that reinforcements would not arrive.

Syna would arrive on the scene as the only able body free to help them, as she was cut off from the group by a Magitek that had moved in to reinforce the Imperials. Between Keelindsey and Herself they would take care of the mechanical beast allowing Syna time to group up with her allies. Eri fought fiercly taking out more then her share of the enemies clearing a path along with the others. No matter how many Imperials they struck down more came.. so a retrun was called. They ran out of the cave the way they came.

Syna held her ground a bit longer then the others and took a pretty good hit before she was able to fall back as well. She was also able to gleam something the other's didnt either. A female form emerged from a black portal stepping out and onto the solid stone ground. There she rose her arm skyward and firmly in her hand a black crystal. Slowly the dead bodies rose slightly from the cold surface as aether drained from their husks and into the obsidian colored sphere. She gave Syna a smile as she watched the female in pink make haste to catch up to the other Knights.

The Distraction Force would try to get to where Bard's team was but as they arrived they found Aelin by herself on the bridge. They learned that Carmen was Kidnapped and Bard had fallen off the bridge toward the river below. They also discovered Sigmund was hurt badly being tended by Selene. Needing to mend the wounded, they all retreated toward the wall where they would be tended. Needing to organize a search soon or else they could risk losing Mister Arkwright as well.
