I:Riisfall
"When Riis fell....the Eliksni were forever changed."

Tolvarth Canyons, Riis.

A roar echoed across the canyon, and Eliksni all over froze in fear. Then, Byviliks growled. "Back to work! These Ketches need to be ready for launch!" Alokirasks shuddered, the Captain looking out towards the skies. High above Riis, the Dreadnought could be seen, its presence felt by all upon the ground. A loud shout caught his attention, and Alokirasks looked over at his father. The Wolf Lord stood tall, and put a hand on his sons shoulder. "You all right, Alokirasks?" He shook his head, and simply pointed. Byviliks looked, and growled. "That damned ship. We are safe here for now, son, but.....Not much longer. Mraskilaasan will survive, Alokirasks. We just need to get about Wolfship Nyloks-fel and the others and leave the system."

Suddenly, overhead, the sound of Hive ships gating in could be heard, the ethereal screams known for nothing else. Byviliks shot up. "BATTLE STATIONS" A messenger however, practically tripped as he made his way to the Kell. "Wolf Lord, Chelchiskel calls for aid in his fight against the Hive forces!" Alokirasks' eyes widened and he looked to his father. "Father, Chelchiskel's House of Stone is one of the main defenders. They held out the longest when Riishome fell." Byviliks nodded, and then sighed, before straightening up and walking away as he shouted orders. "Wolves' Guard, Silent Fang, protect the civilians and get them aboard the Ketches at once. We need to leave before the Hive tear us apart. Trivasiks, Lokasis, gather your troops and follow me, we go to help Chelchis." He looked to Alokirasks. "Son, help Nyloks-5 leave the Riis system. I don't care where. Work with Virixas, I trust him enough to get Mraskilaasan to safety."

With one last nod, Alokirasks got to work, shouting orders to his brethren as they loaded the Ketches. In the distance, the screams of Hive were interspersed with the shouts of Eliksni as they went to die for their families, to protect them as their home fell apart.

As the Ketches broke atmosphere, they were met with Destruction. Wreckage surrounded Riis. Alokirasks looked on in horror as he watched a defenseless Ketch be torn apart by the Hive. As the House of Wolves fled, down below Eliksni blade met Hive Chitin....and Taken armor. Oryx the Taken King had taken the Field. His blade shattered armor, and his forces sliced through the Eliksni like they were nothing.

Byviliks growled, and brought his greatsword to bear, clashing with the Hive God as his fifteen foot stature gave him the leverage to fight back. There was an exchange...and then another. Willbreaker clashed against the Starshielder as the two titans fought. And then.....Byviliks gasped, staggering back as Ascendant energy surrounded him. Lokasis yelled, trying to strike at the Hive God and was stroke down, his body bisected by the powerful being. Oryx grinned...and Took. The Wolf Lord disappeared, never to be seen again on Riis. And then Oryx turned toward Chelchis. He had another to fight.

High above, Alokirasks spoke with Virixas, and gave him his orders. The other Eliksni nodded, and they would guide their house out of Riis's system...and into exile.
