We made a plan. Now we hoped for the best.

We had secretly added runes to the boats.

Only the five of us knew what they truly were.

No one would reveal their existence by accident we had hidden them into the boat hull so that water would not accidentally reflect it.

Seriously fighting an unknown enemy that used water as a spy, was more than just nerve-racking.

What if we were wrong what if it wasn't it?

We had delayed the departure further such an enemy was not to take lightly.

But no matter what we needed to cross so we could only cross fingers and hope we were right. If not all would be lost.

I took my favourite robe Speranza had gifted it to me a long time ago now.

If this was our last day I wanted to wear this.

Looking down at the robe I smiled softly.

It would be fine we had prepared everything even an escape plan into the escape plan.

Taking the long loincloth with the decorated bra and magical jewelry it was ice attributed we are fighting water.

The set was made of silver and white the main colour being white snowflakes had been embroidered in silver colour at the end of the cloth.

Speranza fire attribute was useless but I wasn't I never told them she never asked but I aside of having dreams of possible futures I had Ice magic.

I clenched my fist after I was done dressing up taking up a small curved sword that also had ice attribute empowerment.

Walking out of my room fully decked out and ready for the war with the enemy I walked meeting the other girls walking out there own rooms.

Sakura had wrapped her chest with mid white sized strips of cloths binding her breast with hakama style pants of a deep black colour two swords, one on each side of her hips her hair had mid-length were neat and a fringe covered her forehead.

Saya wasn't truly good at combat and would stay near Speranza during the battle she was the one in charge of taking her out if with the teleportation rune whither Speranza wanted or not.

Yuya showed up dressing in tight black leather pants, a small purple coloured s.h.i.+rt that showed a bit of her belly skin with fingerless wraps around her wrist up to her forearm coloured in purple and black two pigtails atop her head with her magical flute in hand.

She always looked lively and with her highly playful nature she was beyond adorable.

Demona had a feral cloth that hid her front and back and metallic bra that held and pushed her breast up.

Her style was worthy of her name.

Her looks gave her a feral demoness style.

Her hair loose and wavy her eye line thick and with rich black cat eyes lines her lips painted black she held a crystal ball in her hand.

In the months that we had stalled here the general had us all train like madmen in magic and fighting and now we could be considered elites in both fields.

Finally, we took to walk after exchanging a brief look with each other we meet Bast.

He had full on black cloth.

They were loose for easy movement but not too much to become a ha.s.sle.

A katana style sword and a smaller one hang on his hip whit likely many dissimulated weapons all over his body.

He placed his face mask on which looked like a fox face. I could not help but look at him for a bit longer and feel my heart tighten as I walked.

We each climbed into different boats.

(third-person style from here on)

Speranza and the others climbed into the boats the deck area had been enclosed inside with a closed boarding area so the enemy would not know which boat had who on it.

While a mindless beast wouldn't care and would attack any boat but this was for the what if.

After all, that beast might be controlled they couldn't be too sure.

Finally, all boats departed a total of twenty boats.

Made there way out of the box like wood harbour they had to build for this day.

It had been a more than a few months of setbacks.

Speranza was now near giving birth to her and arkalat's child it could happen at any given moments.

Speranza sat in her small cabin on a small bed her belly made her feel like she was a hippo…

It made her feel that it was awkward to walk around she felt like she was waddling and her balance wasn't the best so when the s.h.i.+p rocked slightly she would easily lose balance.

Saya sat on a chair that had been built in the floor so nothing would fly around if the s.h.i.+p was rocked up violently.

The tension was high inside the boats as they did our best to hide their own aura's doing their best to go unnoticed.

Seven of the boats were actually totally empty, but they had used a small trick to make it seem that these were the boats that they were actually inside.

Magic concentration core placed inside them with an autopilot actually no it was just tying a rope to the bar to keep it going straight.

Those boats lead the march and would be the first to cross areas.

The wyverns flew up scanning the area when they roared with a deep rumble. It had begun.

All the soldiers ran on deck in time to see huge pillars rise from the sea like water.

Hanging on the pillars were Aquarians.

Aquarians can be described as a mixture between elves and water elementals.

A shape that looked humanoid with a head that had striking features thanks to the elven blood with skin colours and tone ranging from light blue nearly white to deep indigo.

They sometimes had fins on their back and forearms sometimes only palmed fingers and feet. Sometimes all the features were present, making them look more like a cross with an aquatic lizard.

The five guardians and the general narrowed their eyes.

The visions had been manipulated likely by an aquarian sorcerer.

Arkalat clenched his fist and loosened it a few time as he observed them.

He told the boat drivers to push the magic engine to their maximum capacities less they become trapped within the pillars as they kept rising one after the others.

Chie made a hand sign and the psychic dragonling that had grown up into a young dragon showed at her side picking her up by the waist and the torso.

He tried not to place his "paws" on her breast but that was pretty hard after all he had to fly with her… both only had to contain their momentary embarra.s.sment.

As spears flew pa.s.s them sniffling noise of air as it pa.s.sed them made quick work of any awkwardness left them to focus on the battle that was beginning.
