PART III
The third part of the Battle of the Wall was by far the bloodiest. The giants tore down opposition with their mammoth mounts and ripped down hundreds upon hundreds of their opposition. They a fast ride for the gate and it seemed inevitable that the giants would tear through the southern opposition.
Ser Donal Tyrell lead the gate's defenders while Lord Commander Wendwater shouted orders from a position atop the Wall. The southerners had lost another thousand men before they could send significant reinforcements to the gate. Ser Donal Tyrell and his contingent (as well as the few other southern forces and nobles) were outnumbered and overpowered by the giants. Lord Commander Wendwater brought a hundred Night's Watchmen to the assistance of those at the gate, but quickly those numbers died down. Ser Donal Tyrell, mace in hand and a blazing fury cut down wildling after wildling, in what could be called a bloodrage. As a giant lunged to spear the Lord Commander, Ser Donal moved to block the blow with his mace. By strange force his blow parried the giant's attack and saved the life of the Wendwater commander.
The rest of the battle seemed to be concentrated on the gates, half of which had been smashed through. Wendwater sent most of the southern forces to defend the ground troops. The giants were relentless and unmerciful, Lord Betram Selmy was thrown across a wall, his head crushed by stone and he was stabbed by a few passing wildlings.
Countless dead lay around Ser Donal Tyrell as he eyed a red-haired man atop a white steed that was dressed in bone armor. Atop the man's fiery hair sat a crown of bone. His face was burned and he held a huge axe in one hand. Charging out into the fray of troops and giants, Ser Donal Tyrell rushed the King-Beyond-The-Wall as the last of the gates fell. Even now the Redroyce and his companions were head to toe in blood, both their own and their foes'. The Reach lords, Tallahar and Rindwynd stood together as they brushed through a maze of wildlings, cutting down foes and a particular wildling who had mounted a fallen giant's mammoth.
Ser Donal Tyrell gave Hallise's stallion a startling crack with his mace, as the King jumped from his horse, ready to engage. As men filed around Ser Donal, the Reach knight saw Garrett Redfort stabbed through with a longsword. Lord Benjen Stark, moved to defend the fallen vale-knight, slaying his attacker and removing Garrett from the field of battle only to return, himself, and fight. Ser Donal's fight with Hallise lasted for what seemed ages, though only a few minutes passed. They gave each other minor cuts and negligible wounds before Donal's mace found Hallise's burned cheeks. As Hallise's body fell against the ground Donal was surrounded by giants. Ser Donal Tyrell looked upwards as if to find someone who floated above him. Ser Donal smiled and screamed, "ADDAM" so loud that it carried even above the roar of battle and drifted to where Lord Commander Wendwater was, shaking the commander with a chill. Ser Donal looked back at the giants, his mace readied and bloodied, he smiled once-more and engaged those giants who towered over him. Donal was never seen alive again.
After Hallise's death, those wildlings who were still fighting started to flee and out through the broken gates charged the remnants of the southern forces who chased the wildling army until they were no longer seen.
When those who chased the broken wildling army returned unscathed, cheering broke out all over the wall. The roar of it must have sent a chill to the wildlings.
RESULTS: Ser Donal Tyrell is slain Lord Betram Selmy is slain Hallise the Burned is slain Garrett Redfort is well bloodied and badly wounded 8,900 of the southern, northern and Night's Watch forces are killed 12,620 of the wildling army are killed

The Redroyce rallies the cavalry to chase and slaughter what all of the scattered Wildlings they can, to prevent them from reorganizing and returning.

PART IV
With the Redroyce's cavalry chase, the wildlings in nearby forests were hunted down and killed. The wounded wildlings were kept as prisoners but the battle was over. The allies had won over the wildlings.

OOC: Aye. That was really the best way I could see him going, or at least the most epic :-P Haha, it had nothing to do with you dissing Harry Potter. Donal will keep playing, we're currently in talks about who he will play as now.
