 The Final Second Division  It was at ten when they arrived at the camp of the next division of the giant wyverns. She looked around and could count that there were four hundred. “So, how many are there?” “Four hundred.” “Your plan?” “Attack right now, meanwhile I will be stopping as much of the fire as I can.” Kai nodded. “Don’t be such a girl.” “Brother!” “Actually, there are only four hundred and about twenty thousand of us. It’s almost barely fair!” “Oh.” “Now let’s go.” Soon they all drew their blades and arrows. The eagles and their riders were in the air. Then they all shot down as silently as they could with the group on the ground sliced their necks. They did this again and again and again. Soon the four hundred were dead. “Well, that was swift.” “I know! That was easy.” “Yes. Far too easy.” One of the men opened their mouth, but before he could say anything, that was when they saw a blast of fire landed on the left. They all looked at it for a moment and then at the ...

 Strike Of The Final Army It was early in the morning and the sun had not yet risen. Loc knew that this was the best time to arrive and take the first division out. She, along with all the men and eagles, were tired of waiting for all the armies to arrive and knew that it was time to take the battle to them. She looked down to see the giant wyverns the size of houses. Then she looked back. “What’s your suggestion?” “Why ask her?” “Brother.” “Sh! They will hear.” “Oh, right. Thank you!” “Don’t thank her, you should have known better!” “Well we go from the to go from the to the top and at all sides. We will have to take out as many as we can while they sleep. Yet the moment that they wake up is when we need to worry.” “The rest nodded.” “Coward!” “Strategic. Also, we need to pay attention as much as we can.” “Right.” “Is this-” “Not the time. So all of you, tell the others and the first thing to do it take them out before they even come round or wake up.” “Right.” “I still don’t like...

 The Gathering Men Loc had a long and heavy sleep, right up until late morning. She could feel like her body was like it had been covered in water. She could see that everyone in the camp had found more dead to bury. Then she could smell that they were cooking and she could hear them laughing.  She could not help but feel a smile rest upon her lips. She was glad that they were all getting along. Yet she could not help but feel a shadow of dread pass over her. She could sense that all of this is nothing more than a calm before the storm. She could even swear that the clouds had become grey and thicker.  Her eyes rested upon a group that were dancing. Her eyes looked down, wondering how many would be left once Pendragon was dead. Yet she knew that she could not allow herself to become close to any of them. But she knew that after all of this, she should try to get to know at least some of them. When she could feel that her body was ready, she moved around. “How are you Comm...

 The Final Unit They all woke at nine at night. They all had a quick tea before they looked at the fiery horizon. They were all well rested but they all knew that they needed more. Yet after this, they all decided to bury and mourn the dead and have a good sleep. Maybe right into midday.  After all, they all knew that they would have to pack their backs and get a move on to the next place to go to attack the last army before going onto the generals and finally Pendragon. Yet, none of them allowed themselves to think about that. Nor his generals either. The least amount of dread in the room the better. They did not see the first head until between eleven to twelve. Loc looked up, for a moment, then looked at Elijah. He looked back at her and nodded. She was soon on his back and they all took to the skies. She looked down and could count ten at the front, yet even though she could see three rows, she could only just see two more obscured by the darkness. So she looked on to take...

 The Fourth Unit After a good rest at half past three, they all got to their feet. Loc could see the first heads as the sun started going down and low on the horizon with the first stars faintly coming out. She looked at Elijah. He nodded and soon she was on his back and in the air and she looked down. She counted the hydras on the first row and found ten and only nine rows. Ninety. Good. We can win this. “How many?” “Ninety.” “Significantly less.” “Getting dark. Now get down.” So they were back on the ground. “Same plan, but we need to get as much fire lit on the battlefield as we can after the battle. That way we will be able to see better.” “Right.” So all the eagles set off and all of them were in the sky. The eagles loaded their bows and fired the arrows at the eyes of the first row, then the second row and the third row.  Yet the fourth row looked up and let out a blast of fire. She stopped it and Elijah fired the arrow. Then she parted the fire. Then they returned to fi...

 The Third Unit It had been half an hour after eating their lunch when the first hydra was seen. It had three heads. Yet Loc took to the sky and looked down. She saw thirteen on the first row. She then looked on to see that there were eleven rows. Which made her stomach drop slightly. One hundred and forty three… This one is going to take a lot out of us. Even though it will be hard, as long as we are able to get to those stomachs, it won’t be unbeatable… Which means we need to get those eyes taken out as soon as we can. So she looked down. “I have a plan. First eagles, pair up with a man. All of you, aim for those eyes. Once they are all blinded, the rest of the men, and myself, will slice the stomachs. Meanwhile you stay in the air and keep the heads occupied. Right.” “Right.” So fifty of the men climbed on the backs of the eagles and were all in the air. Loc was on Elijah’s back and she looked down. The eagles and the men archers loaded their bows and fired at each eye. They did...

 The Second Wave It was half none in the morning and Loc, the army of men and the eagles had had a good half an hour break. They woke up and out on the battlefield. They all had decided to camp outside the wall. After all, they all knew that they would have to get to the spot and a wall would take up too much time to get through. They soon saw the first heads and gulped as they all grabbed their weapons. Then they looked out for how many there were. The one looked directly at Loc and then Elijah. She nodded at him then looked back at the hydra. “Get to the air!” She called. He looked at her and nodded. They shot to the air and zoomed to the upper section of the sky and she looked down. Then she counted how many hydras there were and she counted twelve in the front row and she then went on to count the ten rows. Which led her to calculate that there were one hundred and twenty. She looked down and nodded. They shot down and addressed them all. “There are one hundred and twenty. Eagl...

 The Next Army Strike  Loc woke up at four in the morning. She then woke everyone else up. Then at quarter past four they ate a quick breakfast. At half past, they all dawned their armour. At quarter to five they were all at the battlefield. Loc and several more let out a deep breath. All of them knew that they were on edge.  She saw the first hydra. It had three heads and then she saw another two. The one on the right had five and the one on the left had four. She looked on as she saw fifteen more. All had heads going from one head to ten. Yet as eighteen more appeared they all started to feel their hearts in their ears. They wanted to go on but they knew that they had to wait as twenty eight more came, then another fourth nine, then twenty four, then fifteen and ending with the last five. One hundred and fifty seven! That’s beatable, but barely… That was when she saw them gallop on and on and on. She too charged on and on. She could see that some surrounding her were af...

 More Soldiers  It was late in the morning when Loc woke up. She thought about the ten men and fifty eagles. The battles the two days before. Her body ached and she felt tension in her chest and upper abdomen. She felt cold too. She let out a deep breath as she shakily slipped out of the bed. Then slowly she walked to the chair next to the window. Once she sat down and looked outside to the black patch on the horizon. Now that is one down, yet I know that ten men and eagles just will not beat what’s ahead. Yeah, which means I will need more but I don’t think I want to convince people to commit suicide! No, if they all die then I will have to do all to do this myself.  But why? Why am I doing this? No one likes it when I try to help them! But what if, by some luck, I find a piece of one of the Reality Spheres? What then? That was when Wolf Raven’s words echoed in her head. “Just the opposite, my dear. After all, I did tell you didn’t I? I’m going to make a feast of you. Se...

 The Final Division Of  The First Army It was early in the evening when they saw that dust cloud on the horizon. Loc had barely gained consciousness and the men had barely had a good rest. Yet they all got to their feet as they walked to their eagle, who also had barely had a good rest. They all collected their bows and arrows. Some yawned as they did this, as without a good nap, their minds could not wake up the way that they needed to be. Despite this, they all soldiered on.  Then they took to the air. Loc had to press her hand against Peble’s edge to wake herself up. The rest saw this then they pressed the arrows to their collar bone, making sure it was deep enough to wake them up but too shallow to cause any real damage. Then they took out their torches.  They all took a deep breath and sharpened their minds as they reached the first row. Loc counted that there were one hundred again. She looked around to see that there were five men at each side. Which meant tha...

 The Third Round It was early in the morning and the sun had not yet risen. All the soldiers, eagles and Loc ate all the food that the king brought to them as fast as they could before they had to prepare for the battle ahead. She breathed in and out.  She remembered the events the afternoon before and knew that that was the best strategy. Yet she knew that if the wyrms would like at the end then they would have to rise higher faster. So, as her eyes rested upon the horizon, while they still had time, they went out and practiced that. Once they were in the air, she saw the dust cloud. They all collected their torches and the eagles got their bows and arrows. As soon as they were on their backs they set off. The moment that the wyrms saw them they all let their fire out of their mouths. She stopped it and pushed it back. That was then the men set the tips of the first arrows and fired. Then the heads pushed out of the fire. They went to the ones nearest to them. Then the arrows...

 The Second Wyrm Division  It was in the afternoon when they saw the next division on the horizon. Loc looked at the men that were still alive. She looked at the eagles and then back at the ones that were coming and did not like her odds. She looked at the eagles and noticed that more of them, which meant that they would have to do more of the heavy lifting. She bit the bottom lip as she knew that she needed to get all of this done as fast as she could. So she looked at the men and the eagles. Soon an idea came to mind. One that was still a long shot but it was the best one that she had. So she jumped down and looked at them. “Alright, they’re coming.” “What?” “Now!” “But we hardly survived the last time!” “Shut it! All you abled men, get a torch each. Eagles, get your bow anf arrows! Then pick a man, men you get on their backs, Elijah, I will be on you.” “Why?” “No time to explain. But on the battlefield, you will know.” She said as she climbed on his back. Then they were so...

 A Narrow Victory  Her eyes opened. She heard the muffled cries all around her. Her body was covered in a warm liquid that stuck and smelt of iron, meat and something else. She looked around to see that there were many bodies around her in the dim light. She swam on and on and soon reached a moist and soft wall ahead of her. She pulled out her sword and dug it into the wall. She then dragged the blade down. Soon the acid poured out and into the rest of the body. Yet she had to keep cutting to the other sides and then in the centre. She was soon pushed out of the stomach. She dug her blade into the inner flesh. She sliced down then pushed herself out of the body. She let in a gasp of fresh air but she knew that she could not rest. So she used her fire power and pushed it on to the head. She then put the fire out and let the gravity push her body down and she kept her blade and it dug into the skull. Then she pulled it out and thrust her fire into the hole. She looked up to the ...

 The First strike Loc and the rest woke up early. They all cleaned and sharpened their blades and arrows. The eagles looked at each and every arrow and counted them all. They then went on to check their bows. Once they knew that they were all ready,they all set off to the spot where the first division of the army would be.  They saw the wyrms appearing on the horizon. She spotted how big they were and could not help but think of Surpenti and her body. She noticed just how small she was compared to them.  She could feel fear rise like a wave as they came closer and closer and closer. She could feel herself shaking slightly. She had to let out a deep breath as she noticed that there were some men that were shaking too. One looked at her with nothing but fear in his eyes with sweat surrounding them. That was the only thing that she could see in his eyes. Yet despite this he looked on; however she could not help but notice his eyes dropping to the left. She looked down to see...

 A Convened Army Loc had only just finished her lunch when an army of soldiers arrived. At this she charged at them and went to strike the first one. Only for their blades to meet. “Woah there!” He sang as he raised his helmet revealing the black eyes and brunette hair and short beard. “We’re not one of Pendragon’s armies!” “Oh. And who are you?” That was when another took off his helmet. He had green hair and brown eyes with a blond goatie. “We are the knights of King Su. The true king of this land. Yet he sent us here to help you in any way we can! After all, we can tell that this will be the only time that this planet can be really free from the dragons forever. A thing that our king has been praying for since he could speak!” She nodded. “Do you have a name?” “Sir Kakashi.” Her eyes returned to the one whose sword and hers were still touching. “And you?” “Sir Gin.” She nodded. “And why hasn’t he tried to take down Pendragon, himself?” “He has. As all kings of this land have don...

 A Reunion Of The Eagles  They quickly found an abandoned building to camp in. There, they stayed the night as Loc read the book and took several naps in between. When the sun rose, she knew that the eagles would shortly be on their way. Yet she knew that they would have less than twenty four hours to get ready for battle. However she had to focus upon getting ready to welcome them.  So she dashed into the city and quickly returned the book before shooting back to the building. Then she spotted a group of people gathered by them. She walked towards them, wondering why they were there. Yet upon seeing their eyes as they looked at her she suspected it was to see her. Even though she just did not want to admit it to herself.  After all, they did not know her or what she was. If they did then they would not be looking at her like she was some amazing hero. No, they would be running away from her in nothing but fear. Hoping that she did not know their names or faces. Yet,...

 Enter The Domane They all looked at the stone walls ahead. There were several castles and grey stone houses. They were all high and narrow. The streets were also narrow with uneven cobbled roads and very thin pavements. All were well polished yet all of them were empty. The whole place was a marvel but claustrophobic. They all had to take a step off the pool in single file. Yet when they were all able to get off they all looked at Loc. She looked around for a moment. “What’s the plan?” “Well, we have a day until the eagles will come.” “Hopefully with reinforcements.” “Hopefully. Although, regardless of if they do,we will need to have something to show for it. After all, we know nothing about this place so we will need to spit up into teams to gather information. One group will be in charge of finding out when the armies will arrive along with what they look like. Another will be about learning about the people of this place and what they’re like. And the last will be all about fin...

 Birth Of The House Over the course of a couple of months Johan Close became a great and mighty fighter. He took down army after army. In fact, word got out to Dark Lord Gajellidor Darcrogh himself, that all that came against him soon fell. He, out of simple curiosity, decided to take an interest in this man. So he set off to his seeing pool. “Gorcor, send an army against this young man, the one called Johan Close!” “Yes, my Lord Master.” It took only a day before he was watching the battle. He saw the young man take a bow and fire shot after shot at the front row of them. He charged at a group of them and took out a sword and slashed the opposing sword down to the right and sliced multiple to the left. He did this again and again and again until one dodged out of the way and went to slash up. He pulled out a dagger and blocked it then stabbed him. He then kicked him in the face to get his sword out of his head. Then one went to strike him and he flicked his sword out as he spun a...

 The Wife’s Journey  A week passed Islesif felt deeply empty and lonely. She deeply longed to be with her husband. So she knocked on the door of her cousin, Rého Close, who looked very much like her and many, in the Seventh Age Of Legends, believe was Rého Rosecastle’s distant ancestor. He answered. If the village was not wiser they would have thought that the pair were twins and not cousins. In fact the only difference in their appearance were the three dots at the corner of his right eye. Another reason people a thousand years after this would think that he was the ancestor of Rého Rosecastle. “Islesif! How have you been?” He asked with a cough. “I would like to talk with you. I have been very lonely and have been deeply longing for my husband.” Before he could answer he turned away and coughed again and again and again until it came to an end. When he was calm he turned back to her. “Then why don’t you go to him?” “Because Johan told me to look after the farm.” “Then why do...

 Called To War It was in the time at the end of the Fifth Age Of Legends in the Muniverse on the planet Merth when the first Fourth Age Legend the, then Dark Lord, Gajellidor Darcrogh (who would not become a Dark Master Lord until much later after the Sixth Age Of Legends.) was at war with the whole world in his attempt to take it over. It had been a long and hard war where a prophecy arose; a simple one. “The one that will bring this long dark war to an end, Will turn into a house in his final hour, Events of another will cause him to be sent, To another world the rest of existence he will spend, Helping the Mythos Puros master her power, Freed only after the mother’s true repent!” These words meant nothing to the eighteen and a half year old Johan Close. After all, he was nothing more than a modist farmer. Concerned with nothing but his cattle. Keeping the pigs from eating each other, the sheep were well fed and groomed, making sure the cows were grazing and milked well. When he ...

 Rest Before The Storm They all took their things and picked up the dead. Loc and a group of men dug the holes to put each and every body that was brought to them in. Yet there was another group that retracted all their long steps to pick up all the dead that they could find and brought them to the group who were digging holes. They went from one room after the other. Then they went from the castle to the underground chambers and then to the walls. They all went throughout the land bringing dead body after dead body. This took up three and a half days, the first two were without sleeping. On the fifth day everyone took their time to mourn them all. They made sure to mourn each and every one of them, man and eagle alike.  So, after this, they all chose their rooms and collapsed in a bed that clearly had not been slept in for centuries. Yet they were all too exhausted to do anything about it. They all slept as soundly as a baby. Loc soon saw the last dragon in her dreams. She co...

 The Dragon’s Warning They all entered the throne room. It was large and on the other side was a long destroyed stage area. It also had a long strip in the centre which was also broken. At the base was a large hole where a throne must have been. “Where’s the dragon?” Asked one. Yet Loc, who could not help but be reminded of the throneroom of Wolf Raven’s, snapped out of it and looked up. She soon spotted that ahead of them was a large black dragon with scarlet horns going along his spine and golden horns on his head. He had amber cat-like eyes with sharp teeth like knives in his mouth. “How bold of you to come here.” hHe boomed before fire blasted out of his mouth. Loc outstretched her hand and stopped the flames. Yet this was not enough as the fire was drawn out at both sides of the edges of his wingspan. Yet she pushed it on and flew up to Dracula’s throat and then went to push the fire back in but he closed it in time. Then he hit her down and she landed. “Get that mouth open!” ...

 The Final General They all arrived in a hallway. They all looked around to find the last general. Yet they all looked up to see a giant stone creature with wings that had sharp teeth and a body that had a body that looked like a cross between a werewolf and a monkey. He had the eyes of a cat that glowed deep red like a nightmare creature of sleep paralysis. They reminded Loc or Wolf Raven’s. She looked at the sharp teeth that parted as a long slender forked tongue slipped out like a snake searching for their prey. “It is about time. I have been so ever hungry. Ever so patient! My dear prey!” He spoke with a fearful voice before licking his lips. “Now come!” He called as a blast of fire erupted at them! They all dived out of the way as Loc reached out her hands and prevented the fire from touching any of them. Then she pulled it back and circled it behind her and used the momentum to thrust it into the general. He dodged and dived down to her. His eyes were entranced with hunger. “...
