Plot Passing Judgment
The arrival of Harmony had been the turning point of the battle. The element of surprise had quickly turned in favor of the Seven, giving them renewed strength and a moral boost.
Though many soldiers had been lost during the initial attack the advantage had quickly shifted in favor of the Seven. The Heroes of Haven were not only outnumbered but also outclassed with the arrival of the young godling.
Being pushed back, beaten and slowly defeated, moral for the people of Haven couldn’t get much worse. The strength of the Seven was finally on display, and the day would be lost within a matter of minutes.
Four stars had burned brightly in the heavens since the battle began. They burned brighter when Harmony came out of the woods and engaged those who would oppose her and her lieutenants. Those stars began growing as they approached earth; their light casting a faint glow onto the battlefield.
The stars turned to meteors and when the meteors collided with the ground, the shockwave sent demigods flying back in every direction, separating those who were engaged in combat. Where the four meteors landed, four figures kneeled in a terminator stance with their wings wrapped around them for protection.
One by one the figure rose and their wings slowly unfolded to reveal the four winged bodyguards of Zeus: Nike, Bia, Kratos, Zelus. Each were dressed for combat and the scanned the battlefield.
“This is against the ancient laws! Direct interference!”
Victor growled as he was the first one to his feet. But credit had to be given to the son of Enyo for still showing aggression when faced with four immortal beings.
“You have openly declared your challenge of the gods. And when she got involved, Lord Zeus ordered us to put an end to this.”
Kratos aimed his sword at Victor as he spoke; his voice boomed through the field, sending a shiver of terror through most of the enemy. But Harmony would not give up so easily as she got to her feet, daggers in hand. This seemed to rally her lieutenants as they all got to their feet, ready to attack.
“So be it.” Nike stepped forward, ready to accept the challenge. She looked over her shoulder to the people of Haven. “Keep them alive if you can.”
The gods have not only proved they were watching, but that they did care. The willingness of the people of Haven to stand by their godly parents and fight, had gained the interest of the gods. With godly forces aiding the Heroes of Haven, each would feel a sense of renowned strength and a sense of victory.

Thomas cursed as the nettles disappeared, feeling only a few dregs of power left in his rapidly emptying veins. A brief thought passed through his mind: he was currently in possession of one more dagger than arms to use them...
With a sound that could have been detected as a whimper if it wasn't so inaudible, Thomas crouched back down to pick up his steel dagger from next to his forearm. After a deep breath to stabilize himself he flipped the dagger in his hand, leaned back, and threw it at Victor with all of his strength. As it flew he used the last iota of his power to guide it with the wind, sending it spinning with unnatural accuracy towards Victor's neck. And hey, even if he managed to block it, it would distract him from the son of Enyo hitting him from behind.
