The battle hung in the balance, with victory and defeat there for the taking. In the end, there was no question as to what Evelyn would do.
It was time to strike.
Only a moment of indecision passed while Evelyn summed up her force and the enemy. What followed was a whirlwind of commands and signals passed and relayed between ships, the sky turn multihued with the flash of flares. This was her moment, her chance to forge her name. The red blood was surging as she barked her orders. A concentration of power was what they needed, to crush the leading elements of the enemy.
Once the fleet was in motion, she placed her shield upon her back and sang to the Royal Navy flotilla. Failing this gambit could doom them all to a savage reversal. They had to steal the march here. Thankfully, there were ways to help that along. Her voice cut through the tumult of the battle, where the elite of Sartier and Tranquillity savaged each other with loosed arrows. It harmonised with the singing of her mother and Yvonne as they gathered their power in the face of the foe.
The moves went like clockwork, in spite of the attempted trickery of Tranquillity Sea Witches. The jaws of the allied fleet were widening around the bloodied but fearsome elite of the pirate horde. Harriet's Heavy triremes reached the battle line as the Royal Navy made their move and swung out around the enemy, turning in at the last. Evelyn now had her foe exactly where she wanted them.
Yet it was not a bloodless task, and soon another Songweaver, and a Khironex Sea Witch, nursed wounds as the arrows flew.
Arrows flew so thick and fast that to the marines on the edges of the line it seemed as if a dark smudge against the sky, a relentless tide that poured between the ships. Colourful fletching sprouted across the hulls and shield walls of ships such that ships in the thick of the fighting like Harrower or Pride of Harper appeared to be transforming into living creatures with fur coats before the eyes of their comrades.
But more than ships were struck by the missiles. Marines and Pirates alike tumbled and fell as the arrowheads found their mark, and dozens were cut down in mad minutes of bloodletting. The corsairs of the right wing suffered worst of all as a vicious enfilade of over a thousand archers and a series of songweavers rent hull and hide, cutting down over hundreds as they came.
But the most terrifying sight was carved from the will of Rita Hulland, whose voice reached out and smote not just a ship, but the entire Lord's Flotilla with the Symphony of Typhoon. Evelyn had to put a hand on the shoulder of May, the young Khironex aide, as she watched one of the most feared songs of Sartier do its bloody work. Ships bucked and shields were ripped from their mountings while blood stained the timbers as blasts rippled out from the epicentre of Rita's casting, weaker than the Tornado yet striking everywhere.
When it was over, one of the enemy Lords was nearly floundering, with the oars of one side now a ruin. Over with the Corsairs it was little better, to the extent that even as Evelyn watched, one of the corsairs began to come about, turning away from the line that Dominic's ships held so staunchly.
"This is it," she whispered to herself. A moment later her voice rose to a terrible roar. "Attack! Send the order, all Royals, all Standards, all Oboes, go for knife range! Ram or board!"
Across the line the ships of Sartier and Khironex leapt forward with alacrity. Maintaining the bloodletting of missile and magic as they rowed, the ships closed with the enemy, picking targets that were trying in vain to turn and escape. With the pummelling that the magic had given them the Right Wing flotilla in particular was utterly helpless as the rams closed in. One after another the sharp crack and booming thunder of several tons of ship and manpower crashing into the timbers of the enemy echoed across the fleet. The overcommitted flotilla of corsairs was utterly put to the sword.
Some didn't even wait for the end, but threw down their weapons and hauled down their colours, too bloodied and battered to continue the battle. But some still dreamed of escape.
Evelyn drew her sword and held it aloft for the waiting marines. "Straight for the sorceress, captain. Ramming speed!"
The hail of arrows had finally let up, letting Royal Navy marines take a moment to pluck shafts out of their jerkins or gather up wounded comrades. Victory had been hit more lightly than the others though, as some in the flotilla could be seen to have notable gaps on their decks. Instead the pirates had turned their wrath on Harriet's newcomers, unleashing a savage hail that slew many as the enemy flotilla struck out even in its death throes.
An enemy Lord loomed large as the Victory surged forward. The rest of the battle would have to deal with itself for the time being; there was only one ship on Evelyn's mind.
"Brace yourself, Concerto," yelled the Captain of the Marines as the rowers reached their highest pitch. "It makes a bit of a noise as it goes in!"
"Ha, only if you do it right!" the noblewoman yelled back from her spot near the prow. Evelyn glanced around the safety of the timbers from behind her shield, catching sight of panicked pirates scrambling away from the oncoming hit even as oars desperately worked.
When the impact came it knocked her straight onto her backside, and tumbled even a number of the seasoned Royal Navy warriors. With a fierce cry, however, Evelyn was back on her feet and leading the way to the enemy deck...
...only to find naught but surrendering pirates. Blood and bodies were everywhere, some in states that barely resembled the humans they had once been. High-end songweaving had smashed the ship from prow to stern, and the effects were gruesome.
The ship's master, the Lady Sorceress who named herself as Lorelei, surrendered her axe and bow to Evelyn and Rita. She asked with a distant, hollow voice if they were the casters who had so savaged her ship in the last exchange, and when they confirmed it, she bowed her head.
"Then I have met a better," she said. "I did not think it possible in the ranks of the Sartierans. Perhaps they should give your magic more thought in the courts of the Sage of Heaven?" A bitter looks twisted her features briefly. "I know they definitely should in Solemn Bay. A quarter of my crew are dead, and that again wounded." The bitterness left her features and she just shook her head like a lost soul.
When Evelyn was able to get sight of the rest of the battle again, it was already over. The pirates had been too badly battered by several rounds of magic and shot, and then suffering the attentions of over twice their number, plus a magical advantage they couldn't hope to match left them unable to stand up in the clash of decks, normally a speciality of Tranquillity. All of the elite ships were captured, bar the luckless Lightning which was sunk.
It was far from a bloodless victory of course, and the thought of how close she came to losing so priceless an asset as Monica Reynolds on her watch terrified Evelyn. Beyond that, when the ships came together it was clear that over a hundred were dead, and more than twice that wounded. But all ships beyond the Pride of Harper were still in fighting trim, ready for the next phase.
After all, the reason for the battle, the new island fortification of Nune Reef still waited for them, the half-finished keep rising up above the waters, a clear target. But no matter. Three thousand soldiers were ready to land and put paid to the stronghold. As Evelyn met with her fellow nobles and officers on the blood-stained decks of the Victory, with the transports coming up fast, she prepared to put the next phase of her plan into action.

The moves went like clockwork, in spite of the attempted trickery of Tranquillity Sea Witches. The jaws of the allied fleet were widening around the bloodied but fearsome elite of the pirate horde. Harriet's Heavy triremes reached the battle line as the Royal Navy made their move and swung out around the enemy, turning in at the last. Evelyn now had her foe exactly where she wanted them.
Yet it was not a bloodless task, and soon another Songweaver, and a Khironex Sea Witch, nursed wounds as the arrows flew.
Arrows flew so thick and fast that to the marines on the edges of the line it seemed as if a dark smudge against the sky, a relentless tide that poured between the ships. Colourful fletching sprouted across the hulls and shield walls of ships such that ships in the thick of the fighting like Harrower or Pride of Harper appeared to be transforming into living creatures with fur coats before the eyes of their comrades.
But more than ships were struck by the missiles. Marines and Pirates alike tumbled and fell as the arrowheads found their mark, and dozens were cut down in mad minutes of bloodletting. The corsairs of the right wing suffered worst of all as a vicious enfilade of over a thousand archers and a series of songweavers rent hull and hide, cutting down over hundreds as they came.
But the most terrifying sight was carved from the will of Rita Hulland, whose voice reached out and smote not just a ship, but the entire Lord's Flotilla with the Symphony of Typhoon. Evelyn had to put a hand on the shoulder of May, the young Khironex aide, as she watched one of the most feared songs of Sartier do its bloody work. Ships bucked and shields were ripped from their mountings while blood stained the timbers as blasts rippled out from the epicentre of Rita's casting, weaker than the Tornado yet striking everywhere.
When it was over, one of the enemy Lords was nearly floundering, with the oars of one side now a ruin. Over with the Corsairs it was little better, to the extent that even as Evelyn watched, one of the corsairs began to come about, turning away from the line that Dominic's ships held so staunchly.
"This is it," she whispered to herself. A moment later her voice rose to a terrible roar. "Attack! Send the order, all Royals, all Standards, all Oboes, go for knife range! Ram or board!"

Naval Battle of Nune Reef concludes - Sartier/Khironex Victory
Across the line the ships of Sartier and Khironex leapt forward with alacrity. Maintaining the bloodletting of missile and magic as they rowed, the ships closed with the enemy, picking targets that were trying in vain to turn and escape. With the pummelling that the magic had given them the Right Wing flotilla in particular was utterly helpless as the rams closed in. One after another the sharp crack and booming thunder of several tons of ship and manpower crashing into the timbers of the enemy echoed across the fleet. The overcommitted flotilla of corsairs was utterly put to the sword.
Some didn't even wait for the end, but threw down their weapons and hauled down their colours, too bloodied and battered to continue the battle. But some still dreamed of escape.
Evelyn drew her sword and held it aloft for the waiting marines. "Straight for the sorceress, captain. Ramming speed!"
The hail of arrows had finally let up, letting Royal Navy marines take a moment to pluck shafts out of their jerkins or gather up wounded comrades. Victory had been hit more lightly than the others though, as some in the flotilla could be seen to have notable gaps on their decks. Instead the pirates had turned their wrath on Harriet's newcomers, unleashing a savage hail that slew many as the enemy flotilla struck out even in its death throes.
An enemy Lord loomed large as the Victory surged forward. The rest of the battle would have to deal with itself for the time being; there was only one ship on Evelyn's mind.
"Brace yourself, Concerto," yelled the Captain of the Marines as the rowers reached their highest pitch. "It makes a bit of a noise as it goes in!"
"Ha, only if you do it right!" the noblewoman yelled back from her spot near the prow. Evelyn glanced around the safety of the timbers from behind her shield, catching sight of panicked pirates scrambling away from the oncoming hit even as oars desperately worked.
When the impact came it knocked her straight onto her backside, and tumbled even a number of the seasoned Royal Navy warriors. With a fierce cry, however, Evelyn was back on her feet and leading the way to the enemy deck...
...only to find naught but surrendering pirates. Blood and bodies were everywhere, some in states that barely resembled the humans they had once been. High-end songweaving had smashed the ship from prow to stern, and the effects were gruesome.
The ship's master, the Lady Sorceress who named herself as Lorelei, surrendered her axe and bow to Evelyn and Rita. She asked with a distant, hollow voice if they were the casters who had so savaged her ship in the last exchange, and when they confirmed it, she bowed her head.
"Then I have met a better," she said. "I did not think it possible in the ranks of the Sartierans. Perhaps they should give your magic more thought in the courts of the Sage of Heaven?" A bitter looks twisted her features briefly. "I know they definitely should in Solemn Bay. A quarter of my crew are dead, and that again wounded." The bitterness left her features and she just shook her head like a lost soul.
When Evelyn was able to get sight of the rest of the battle again, it was already over. The pirates had been too badly battered by several rounds of magic and shot, and then suffering the attentions of over twice their number, plus a magical advantage they couldn't hope to match left them unable to stand up in the clash of decks, normally a speciality of Tranquillity. All of the elite ships were captured, bar the luckless Lightning which was sunk.
It was far from a bloodless victory of course, and the thought of how close she came to losing so priceless an asset as Monica Reynolds on her watch terrified Evelyn. Beyond that, when the ships came together it was clear that over a hundred were dead, and more than twice that wounded. But all ships beyond the Pride of Harper were still in fighting trim, ready for the next phase.
After all, the reason for the battle, the new island fortification of Nune Reef still waited for them, the half-finished keep rising up above the waters, a clear target. But no matter. Three thousand soldiers were ready to land and put paid to the stronghold. As Evelyn met with her fellow nobles and officers on the blood-stained decks of the Victory, with the transports coming up fast, she prepared to put the next phase of her plan into action.
