⚡️SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGE : A TALE OF ELSIE AND THE WAR IN SOLAKI⚡️

Elsie had finally arrived at the river Khymeve after traveling through Anumün from Mortis, the land of death. She had been perplexed by her encounter with the legendary Alric Stormbringer. He had informed her that only the Healer who resided in Khymeria could provide information regarding the whereabouts of her sister, the baroness. She collapsed to her knees and dragged her weary body closer to the water so she could drink from it. She had traveled for seven nights, encountered terrifying monsters en-route and pondered how to restore the Dark Energy Crystal of her amulet because it had been worn out.

Elsie drank from the river and then collapsed on the wet grass on her back. She heard a noise coming from the bush as she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.

"Oh no, not again!"

She said quietly to herself. She was too worn out to fight, yet if she didn't, she may allow herself to be taken or, worse yet, killed. When the noise persisted, she got to her feet.

Elsie focused her attention to a nearby bussel.

"Who could have left it here, Most likely a villager did."

she thought out loud to herself. Elsie continued to crawl until she saw a few feet away a gold crystal that was sparkling. Drawing even closer, she realized it looked familiar, almost similar to the dark crystal on her amulet but more brilliant. According to legend, the Splintershards were an extremely rare crystal with extraordinary magical properties that could grant it's owner incredible visions of the unseen world and even the future.

"Can this crystal show me where the baroness is? and who left it here, in the open, unguarded?"

She wondered aloud as her curiosity grew. It shone brighter the longer she stared at it. Elsie was unable to avoid losing her sense of what was possible and what was not. She then lightly touches it. The crystal suddenly emits a blinding light that pulls her straight into it.

Elsie finds herself floating as she softly lands on a hanging cut-out rock in a weird foggy land. Earlier, she had felt as though she was falling down an endless tunnel.

Looking ahead, she noticed a bright light speeding toward her. As she attempted to escape being hit, she heard a loud stump. She turned her head to look up and saw this amazing being in front of her with a human figure. The entity looked tenderly at Elsie.

"Greetings, Elsie. My name is Chanseus the Great and welcome to Solaki."

Despite her continued fear, Elsie manages to let an awkward smile.

"I barely touched on the Splintershards and what is this place, how did I get here...?"

Chanseus the Great instantly interjects and responds with a dainty smile on his face,

"I have something to show you"

A portal opened and Elsie couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her sister, the Baroness, in the direction Chanseus had indicated. The baroness smiled and turned to face her, and when they were close enough, they hugged. Elsie refused to let go of the hug.

"Let's be on our way home, I have so much to tell you. I have been seeking for you for so long, what are you doing here, but it doesn't matter, I've found you now."

Elsie began talking excitedly.

"I've waited and hoped to see you too. But, I'm happy here in Valhalla"

The Baroness spoke with teary eyes.

"Valhalla? but Valhalla is where warriors who die in battle go to. wha..what are you saying? You can't leave me all alone; I need you with me to retake our home, Anenon. "No, no, I do not accept this; you're coming with me."

Elsie sobbed as she cried out and the more she tried to drag the baroness along with her, something kept tugging them apart.

"I didn't survive the war against Zintar Mortalis. I can't go Elsie, the Splinterlands is not home for me longer."

Elsie pulled and hugged the Baroness even tighter, not wanting to let go. But a soft wind brushed through and the baroness faded with it. When Elsie opened her eyes, she was standing alone, hugging herself. She wept aloud and fell to her knees. Suddenly there was a loud stump and Chanseus the Great turned to Elsie and said,

Get behind that rock right away and stay there no matter what happens.

he spoke eloquently but authoritatively.

CHANSEUS THE GREAT - SUMMONER

CHANSEUS THE GREAT is an extraordinary 3-star⭐️⭐️⭐️ being destined for greatness. He is a great summoner with supernatural abilities to grant Monsters willing to fight alongside him the Repair ability which restores some armor to the warrior whose armor has taken the most damage in battle. He then grants the Triage ability which heals the backline warrior's health each round and finally the Resurrect ability which will bring back to life one warrior when it dies.

CHANSEUS THE GREAT uses strong his powers to summon his most powerful of warriors to battle.

URIEL THE PURIFIER - FIRST LINE

URIEL THE PURIFIER is positioned by CHANSEUS because of his high ranking as a formidable Solaki warrior and magnificent abilities. A 3-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️ warrior deserving of it's moniker, of which CHANSEUS is well aware of. His Recharge ability makes him cause 3x the damage to enemy every round. He also uses his Flying ability to fly over enemies with non-flying ability and fiercely attack them. Using his Heal ability, he heals him each round, making him difficult to kill.

TIME MAGE - SECOND LINE

TIME MAGE is a 6-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ warrior with the Slow ability which reduces the speed of all enemies, allowing her team to attack fiercely, causing damage before the enemy has the chance to react. She is gentle, strict and an absolutely terror to her enemies, using her Rust ability to reduce armor of enemies, leaving them exposed to damage.

ADELADE BRIGHTWING - THIRD LINE

The delectable ADELADE BRIGHTWING ,Born in the city of Centrum, well respected and loves to help people. She loved watching soldiers in their gleaming armor and dragons soar through the skies, hoping one day she could fly as well. Her wish is finally granted, a 3-star⭐️⭐️⭐️ warrior with supernatural Flying ability to fly over enemies with non-flying ability and fiercely attack them. She also has the Repair ability which restores some armor to the warrior whose armor has taken the most damage in battle. Her Immunity ability keeps her safe from deadly toxins and her Resurrect ability will bring back to life one warrior when it dies.

HIGH PRIEST DARIUS - FOURTH LINE

HIGH PRIEST DARIUS is the Silver Shield's highest ranking priest. A 3-star⭐️⭐️⭐️ magical being with unrivaled magical abilities throughout Splinterlands. He is fully deserving of his position and abilities. His Resurrect ability brings back to life a fallen team warrior, whereas his Weaken ability reduces the health of all enemy monsters in battle and his Blast ability does additional damage to monster adjacent to the target enemy.

PELACOR ARBALEST - FIFTH LINE

A 6-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ warrior with the accurate range skill. His powerful crossbows is enchanted to fire bolts at extremely long distances. He has the Double strike ability which allows him attack twice each time he strikes. He also has the Flying ability to fly over enemies with non-flying ability and fiercely attack them.

HERO OF BEYOND - SIXTH LINE

A 5-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ warrior well deserving of his moniker, think super man, think HERO OF BEYOND. He has the Close ranged ability which helps him perform ranged attack from front or any position. His Shield ability works to defend him against Melee and Range attack enemies and if he happens to be the only monster alive on the team, then his Lasting standing ability will sustain him for longer with double stats.

⚔️ THE BATTLE ⚔️

---

As they all lined up for battle, the air became filled with the dread of an impending battle as the enemy mustered it's forces.

A faction of Solaki warriors had rebelled and been expelled. They've tried several times to gain access and seize power. Each Solaki warrior belonged to a rank and looked alike because they were divine beings, and from each rank, there was a cut out, a sector that demanded the forbidden and unthinkable from the orderlies. They had now bridged the gates, attempting to take over once more.

Elsie would support and fight with whoever was defending the citizens of this heavenly land and was gracious enough to let her know where her sister, the baroness, was. Battle mages don't typically engage in combat, but the chaos legion's harsh division had made her willing to engage in conflict. Despite Chanseus the Great's orders, Elsie advances. Elsie steps forward against Chanseus the Great directives, using her amulet, she reads out rules of combat, making the battle fair and square.

	SUPER SNEAK: All Melee attack Monsters gain the sneak ability.
	TAKING SIDES: Neutral Monsters may not be used in battle.

Massive divine abilities were displayed to begin the round. The enemy slowed down and corroded Elsie's team armor utilizing their potent spell caster staff. It's fortunate that her team too had TIME MAGE to pay it forward. HIGH PRIEST DARIUS, did not think twice to make all of the adversary creatures weaker. The two URIEL THE PURIFIERS then charged forward to engage in battle.

The first magic strike was delivered by TIME MAGE, the spellcaster. The Hero of Beyond was being attacked by ENEMY-KRALUS and ENEMY-SILVERSHIELD ASSASIN, who struck hard to defeat him. With their force, Elsie's team vigorously guarded and blocked every point of entry to the land.

---

---

It was a battle between the gods. The front and back line monsters' damaged shields were treated and mended by both Summoners. However, in an effort to remove them, ENEMY-KRALUS and ENEMY-SILVERSHIELD ASSASIN attacked and poisoned Warrior HERO OF BEYOND. When URIEL THE PURIFIER and PELACOR ARBALEST flew over, they targeted and killed the enemy, but the ENEMY-ADELADE BRIGHTWING, brought him back to life. ENEMY-URIEL THE PURIFIER was cast and killed by HIGH PRIEST DARIUS with a potent spell, but once more the enemy summoner brought him back to life. When ADELADE BRIGHTWING had had enough, she used a spell to defeat and vanquish ENEMY-URIEL THE PURIFIER.

---

---

The fighting became furious, and Elsie's team was winning. PELACOR ARBALEST swooped in and delivered a double strike on ENEMY-TIME MAGE, eliminating her along with ENEMY-ADELADE BRIGHTWING. Combining their forces, HIGH PRIEST DARIUS and PELACOR ARBALEST kill ENEMY-SILVERSHIELD ASSASIN one at a time.

---

---

Furious combat broke out, and Elsie's team was coming out on top. PELACOR ARBALEST swooped in and struck ENEMY-TIME MAGE twice, taking out both of them along with ENEMY-ADELADE BRIGHTWING. HIGH PRIEST DARIUS and PELACOR ARBALEST killed ENEMY-SILVERSHIELD ASSASIN one at a time by combining their forces.

FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!

Elsie was astounded by the incredible battle. Chanseus the Great approached Elsie and looked her in the eyes once more.

"I'm sorry about your sister, the baroness. But she is in a much better place now and has received the honour she deserves. Elsie, you have a lot of work ahead of you, and Anenon relies on you to defeat the Chaos legion. The rebellion is forming alliances and breaking out. This has to stop or Splinterlands as we know it will come to an end. You are not alone; we are all here for you."

He said this while looking more tenderly into her now-teary eyes. Elsie collapsed to the ground once more, crying even harder. She kept replaying the times she had spent with her sister when they were young. Chanseus knelt down and stroked her shoulders. Immediately, it felt like she was falling through another portal, except this time she was spewed out of the Splintershards onto the wet grass she was lying on prior to the trance. She grabs the Splintershards and replaces it with the Dark energy crystals. Her amulet glows with a light she's never seen before.

Even though she would do anything to have her sister, the baroness, back, Chanseus's words kept coming to her. She got to her feet after feeling more strengthened, began to walk, then abruptly broke into a full sprint as she made her way back to Anumün. Returning to Khmer Princess was her plan. There was much work to be done.

⚔️WHY I CHOSE THE LIFE SPLINTER SUMMONER AND MONSTER CARDS⚔️

Splinterlands comes with a lot of deep thinking and strategies. You'll need attempt to forsee what your opponent with come at you with, hence, every card you pick would either bring victory or defeat.

Although it appeared that I would have to adjust to the Super Sneak battle-rules since melee attacks gaining the Sneak ability would have a clear edge in battle and harm my back lines, I chose to field a full three boosted team of rangers and spellcasters. I anticipated that my enemy would focus on melee attacks. Therefore, the potent magic of spellcasters will be effective against opponent's team.

---

---

SUMMONER CHANSEUS THE GREAT's 3 abilities comes very useful in such Battle rule-set. Having all monsters with the Repair ability , Triage ability and Resurrect ability abilities topped with their unique abilities is what I choose to call Brute force and I enjoy using that for High Mana cap battles like this 58-MANA.

---

---

URIEL THE PURIFIER Although a Melee attacker with incredibly huge tank, will serve well as a Flying and Healing Monsters, his Recharge makes it even better. His ability to withstand for longer is something every battle mage will admire in battle. Now top all that with a Repair, triage and Resurrect ability and you have an undefeatable badass in front line.

---

---

TIME MAGE is relentless and strict. You'll definitely want her to help Slow down your monsters and same time rust their shield. Giving you enough room to cause or probably end the battle in just two rounds.

---

---

🌬ADELADE BRIGHTWINGS and 🌬HIGH PRIEST DARIUS make such a pair and somewhat have similar behaviors in battle. Although over time i have realized that Magic casters and rangers so well well, better than when paired with Melee attackers. Once spell caster Hits targets, The have a Ranger like PELACOR ARBALEST is best to comes, giving a double strike and vanquishing the enemy's monster.

I must Admit I must have made a blunder with 🌬HERO OF BEYOND as he didn't get enough room for his close range strikes, but luckily his Shield paid off. In summary it was an exciting battle to watch and definitely appreciate the use of strategy here.

😊Until next Splinterlands Social Media Challenge, Hive, Vibe & Be Lucky🍀
