remember that you can't save everyone
remember that you have to try
And then, through teamwork and diligence, strategy and fortune, a victor prevailed.Beforehand, there were the roughened edges of it all. Noah, for all his might and menace, for all his bulk and brawn, couldn’t stop the implementation of numbers and people upon him. Burt’s covering for Sah wasn’t without its challenges (he faltered under the polar bear’s claws), but Smitty, the usually useless oaf, rose to the occasion, distracting the Attuned hunter long enough to ensure Sah could rampage along enemy lines.
Hotaru’s impacts this time faltered – the lightning bolt couldn’t withstand Aisha’s speed, and the Valkyrie was tagged out. The blue team’s once momentous assemblage crumbled, and the red team’s impact was renowned thereafter, as Sah crossed territorial lines, flag raised high.
Deimos blew the whistle then, loud and careening over the toppling formations and surviving members. “Congratulations to the Red Team!” He began a steady round of applause, for they’d earned it, and onlookers from the shields gathered nearby responded in spirit. The General eventually came downward, off the wall, and into the melee, encouraging all of them with a juvenile grin. “Hard won and well fought to both groups. Thank you for participating. If any of you need healing,” and here he glanced over at the jails emptying out, those returning to their mutual sides, “Zuriel is available.” The unicorn wandered forward, head lowering in a gesture for them to come to her if it was a necessity.
Eventually, the beast turned to Aisha, to Sah. “As victors, I can grant you one magical item each. Just let me know what you would prefer.”
Listening to their requests, the monolith set to work on procuring, contorting, and creating, between gilded palms and adornments. For Sah, the Sword manifested a blade - made for conducting the same elemental conduit that ran through the Abandoned's veins. An ornamental facet was only rendered at the hilt, golden, with an inlet of a wolf with wings embedded into its metal surface.
And for Aisha, a sheath for the sword he'd granted her once before - capable of shifting with her, no matter what form she took.

Congratulations to the Red Team!
In summary:
Noah deterred Burt, but couldn’t stop Sah, courtesy of Smitty’s efforts. Sah crossed over into Red territory, securing the win.
Feel free to post one more time to wrap anything up! I’ll DM the winners. <3
Well done everyone, and thank you for playing along!
Deimos has made:
Electrical Sword: Using Sah's own elemental magic, this sword has the power to electrify those it hits.
Shifting Sheath: A sheath capable of carrying a sword, and shifting with any Attuned form.
Edited to include items. ;D <3
out for vengeance
