Definition of Initiative on The Silver Trumpets

The Silver Trumpets (Pi)

Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: When your Priest has initiative during a rescue attempt, you may band a human O.T. Hero from your territory into battle or interrupt the battle and return your Heroes in battle to hand. May be used twice. • Play As: When your Priest has initiative during a rescue attempt, you may band a human O.T. Hero from your territory or interrupt the battle, withdraw your Heroes, and return them to hand. May be used twice. • Identifiers: OT, Tabernacle Item, Temple Item

What Does Initiative mean on this card? Specifically does it include special initiative as well as regular initiative?

And if it does include special initiative did I make the right ruling in this situation.

Ahimaz and King Pekahiah are in battle.  King Pekahiah drops deluge of rain to discard all cards in battle.  Ahimaz uses silver trumpets to bring in Ahimilek. 

I ruled that all cards except Ahimilek would be discarded by deluge of rain, leaving only Ahimilek in battle.  Is that right?

Weird play-as.

Anyway, initiative refers to both regular and special initiative. However, during special initiative you're only allowed to do the second of the two options, since you must interrupt whatever is causing the removal before you can do anything else during special initiative.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Awesome, it means that I win the battle (since I was the blocker there)   8) But not awesome in that I ruled incorrectly.  ::)
