Battle of Twilight Mountains was the last stand of the Dark Moto in the Moto War.

Prelude[]

In 1133 the Unicorn Clan Champion Moto Gaheris led the Moto, Shinjo, Iuchi and Ide against the Dark Moto, deep in the Twilight Mountains, beneath the Akui Cliffs. [1] Otaku Kamoko willingly allowed herself to be tainted so that she could lead the Dark Moto to their destruction. [2]

Battle[]

Three times Shinjo blew her strange horn, and three times the echo shook the world. The spectral steeds over the mountains, their strides covering vallys in a single leap. The Moto of the Sands had come, as they had promised, and now the Ki-Rin were whole. [3] They followed Gaheris through the fire and the sky, riding on the wings given by the sound of their Kami's horn. The Moto would never see the Sands again. [4] Below them, ten thousand undead Moto charged and an army of Ki-Rin cavalry sounded a battle cry. Then the earth collapsed beneath them, and the mountain fell. [5]

Aftermath[]

The Dark Moto were crushed utterly by Gaheris, bringing back the Moto family into the Clan. [2] [6]
