For the next two weeks, the battle proceeded in the Federation’s favor, more or less how we expected. The High Priestess’s mystic arts must have taken some amount of preparation, as there was a two day gap between each of her attempts. I was able to interfere with her efforts every time.

When the earth suddenly split open, I’d fill it back in. Unnatural fire would ignite all across our stone fortress, but rain would appear just as mysteriously to extinguish it. As this continued, her attacks became bigger and more desperate, but it never amounted to anything all that challenging to handle. The human and Federation armies were clearly aware of this silent war happening behind the scenes, and though many were starting to feel uneasy, it had yet to make a real impact on the battle.

If things continued in this fashion, either the Federation would soon make a decisive break into the human camp, or the humans would retreat and rethink their battle plan. We figured the best chance to take down the High Priestess would be in that confusion, so I was on guard against her mystic arts tonight as well. But as I searched for her presence, I found her quite distant from the human army, moving away from it. It seemed she had decided to abandon the army and save herself.

To her, the human army was nothing more than her arms and legs. There was no sense sticking her neck out to save them. A normal human might bleed out and die after losing an arm or a leg, but a fallen mystic could recover from such a blow. If she retreated and kept to the shadows, she could raise new armies again and again. It was quite an obvious plan.

But there was one thing she had failed to realize. We hadn’t gone to take her down personally because the human army around her had been in the way. Now that she had left that army behind, she was all but defenseless. She still thought of herself as being all-powerful, yet had to acknowledge she couldn’t match me. It was a difficult predicament to be in.

If she had at least ran the first time I thwarted her efforts, then we wouldn’t have had so much time to prepare for a pursuit. Her half-hearted attempts at trial and error would come at the cost of her life. Well, I suppose after I had seen her once, it wouldn’t really matter how quickly she ran. I would be able to find her regardless. I guess her fatal mistake had been coming to the front lines in the first place.

I imagined she had treated this battle like any of her other games. The fact that the non-human races still survived in the West, and the reason the races of the Federation had been able to gather into a single force before being individually crushed, was because she thought it was a game she could end anytime she pleased. But that negligence was what had given me a chance to make it to this land in time to stop her.
