A dark hazy smoke rose over the city, Through the smoke arrows flew.
“The monsters made it through the city gates” The Guardian gasped
“Any news on the reinforcements?” Reaper asked
“No sir”
Reaper walked along the castle walls, mountains, Rough terrain and the Ocean…It was all that was seen for miles. Flameing Ice Wolf stood with Magic Rein by the City gates a few arrows had dented there shields. Twenty Guardians with there blades drawn stood ready for the abominations that would soon break through there final defence. The first spear of the shadowed army broke through.
“Get Some Archers down here…Now!” Rein ordered to a nervous warrior
The Guardian ran off up the stairs.
“Be ready fellow warriors this will not be a easy fight” Wolf ensured
Moaning could be heard coming from the other side. Reaper Stood silently staring down at the burning city.
“What can we do to Stall these things…” Reaper thought to him self
“Sir, Wolf and Rein have requested archers to help them fight back the undead at the gates” The Guardian said
“Hmm…oh yes send ten of the archers to assist them” Reaper replied
Wolf and Rein stood at the gates a eerie silence had haunted this part of the city for what seemed like forever. A large cracking noise broke the silence as a lance shoved its way out into the open.
“There here” Rein said to Wolf
Wolf let out a laugh. A skeletal hand burst through on the right. Rein bent down and scooped up a large stone and hurled It at the hand, He cast a spell to make the rocks burst in flames. It impacted the gate killing many undead but also destroyed the gate the Group of Soldiers let out a War cry and charged at the undead warriors. The guardians in the lead charged in to the fray, One of the guardians blocked a swing to the head, he swiftly hit the undead in the back of the leg knocking it into the air then hit it down on the ground. Twenty skeletal warriors charged into the small courtyard.
Wolf crushed the skull on a approaching undead then grabbed its limp bones and shoved it into one that was swinging at a Guards head. Rein Blasted a few more with fire.
“We won’t last for long if those archers don’t arrive soon!” Wolf Shouted
A undead swung at his abdomen, blood soaked out of the wound, the undead lifted its sword above its head ready to finish him…Bones shot away from the skeleton’s chest. Blue spark like flames rose into the air.
Sly Wolf stood his sword in the undead’s back.
“Good timing” Ice Wolf sighed
Sly let out a smile. Rein ran over to them they had been pushed back but were holding there ground, a small walkway was above their heads. Marching could be heard above them. Archers lined the walkway the undead glared at them there hollow glowing Blue eyes gazing into there souls. Edvalencia Stood at the end of the line to the right
“Fire!” he commanded
Arrows rained down on the undead a few where fast enough to block the projectiles with their shields others fell to the ground. Rein, Wolf and Sly ran at some undead, Rein did a backhand swing hitting it in the spine breaking it in half Sly spun swinging to the left a head landed smashing behind him. Wolf Blocked the swing from the undead then kicked it in the chest knocking it to the ground he lifted his blade to sky and brought it down through the undead’s rib cage. Ten more Guards followed close behind them they had pushed the undead back a few metres but it still wasn’t much considering there was half a city behind those undead.
Reaper walked down the alley way of the lower half of the city that had been taken over by undead. A undead ran by chasing a woman villager Reaper leaped and loped its leg off, the undead stumbled and crunched its face on the corner of a stone house. Reaper grabbed a bow and a few arrows that lay on the ground. He drew them and waited his breathing was all that was heard a deep fog had grown on the streets blocking his view. He let out a low growl of frustration, No undead had ran at him since he had been there. Reaper walked a bit farther he looked at the sky the Dark smoke still hung blocking his view. He gazed at the sky a bit longer a strange noise was getting loud. Reaper seen a few undead rushing at him he quickly shot them down. A loud roar shook the houses around him. Reaper’s eyes went wide with shock a large dracolich came and landed down at the other end of the street it slowly turned its head to face him.
Sly killed another undead, Rein and Wolf and wolf had disappeared in the mass hoards of the undead Edvalencia had jumped down to assist in the fight. Sly bashed at a undead it was blocking each blow with its shield. Sly knocked the undead’s blade away then quickly sunk his spare digger into its skull. Large stomping could be heard not far away three undead giants stomped into the clearing, One of the giants ran at Flare the other was occupied by some of the guards and the other ran at sly. Sly looked up he jumped to the right then lunged at the giant. It was faster, it quickly dodged and hit him aside with its axe. That hit had winded sly he need to catch his breath but the Giant wasn’t allowing it Sly dodged the blows a few more times till he couldn’t take it anymore he had grown tired. His eyesight blurred and red, He blindly ran at the Giant with a swing of its axe Sly got hit and flew at the wall knocking him unconscious.
Wolf stood surrounded by thirty undead, he was staring down he had run out of breath, He tightened his grip on his sword. There was a minute of silence then a flash of light and three of the undead fell. Wolf turned and cut one down, five undead threw there spears at him, another flash and those undead all lay on the ground in pieces. Wolf stumbled back the Smoke had grown thick and made it hard to breath, a undead ran at wolf he spun out of the way and watched it crash into the others. Rain started to land on the ground around him he ran at a undead infantry and cut it down he fought his way out but still many undead remained alive. He knew he couldn’t take them by himself, He turned and ran heading back to the court yard where Sly was.
A group of ten undead had a small camp set up inside the castle. Rein watched waiting for the right moment to strike. One of the undead started walking over to his hiding area. A undead Necromancer marched up to the camp and started commanding the skeleton’s to head to the Court-Yard. Rein seen this as the opportune moment to attack he jumped out of the hiding spot casted a spell to make the one closet to him burst into flames. The other nine undead ran at him, He thrust his hand forward a moment after they all froze in place then shattered like glass. The Necromancer cast a darkness spell at him he shot back with a fire ball, the Necromancer cast a stream of darkness at him Rein cast a stream of ice at the necro, there spells Clashed it was a test of strength now.
Reaper Shot a arrow at the Dracolich’s head it blasted with ice freezing it mid-air. The Dracolich stood there watching Reaper like a hawk waiting for him to move. Reaper went for his blade he rolled out of the way as a Ice ball twice his side whipped past him. Reaper peaked out of the corner he drew his next arrow and got ready to fire at the Dracolich again. The Dragon took a few more steps towards him the clicking of its claws could be heard coming down the street. Reaper threw a rock across from the dracolich it turned and blasted the spot with ice, He quickly shot the arrow it hit knocking off part of its rib cage the Dracolich blasted the whole area with ice, Reaper jumped out from behind the building and shot another arrow, it skimmed the top of the Dracolichs head. A large hunk of the house in front of Reaper had been blown apart. The dracolich snuck down the street towards the house Reaper hid behind. He ran around the house and had got behind the Dracolich he was getting ready to bring down his sword on the Dracolich, He felt something strange on his stomach he looked down and seen the Dracolich’s tail wrapped around him. It whipped its tail and sent Reaper flying down the street, Reaper crashed into the wall his eyesight was blurred but he could still make out the shape of the Dracolich, as it stomped towards him, He could feel the dragons breath on his face. He could hear its jaw opening and he knew what was coming next. Reaper sat and waited for his Death.
“Ahhhh!”
A shadowed figure came down from the ledge landing on the dragons head, the shadowed figure stabbed through the Dragon’s skull, the dragon reared up facing the sky then crashed down on the ground. Reaper gazed forward un-aware of what was going on.
“Reaper…its safe…your okay”
Reaper gave a faint smile then went unconscious.
The court yard was clear of undead and were being pushed back the archers had served their purpose and had returned to there positions, A few Guards had begun to repair the gate, Bed-Rolls were laid out every were and Healers and Clerics tended to the injured, Sly lay on one of the beds the undead Giant’s axe had bruised him badly. Golden Flare had left to lead the archers on the castle walls. Sly looked around so many people had been injured, Sly went to sit up a sharp pain shot threw his body, He lay back down gasping for air, the Healers rushed over to him and began to tend to him. Once they had finished Sly felt much better and was able to stumble to his feet. The Guards had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard night fall had finally come.
“Have any of you heard from Rein or Ice wolf”
The guards all shook there heads. Sly sat down on one of the bench’s near the fire, the heat felt good. He wondered were they could be as the fire Danced in his eyes.
Rein stumbled into the corner, the Necro stood above him like a tower shrouded in darkness.
“U can’t defeat me…I was picked to help lead this army for a reason”
Rein let out a laugh “u don’t know me lich…We will strike u and this pathetic excuse for a army down”
“Is that so” taunted the necro “Well I guess you’ll have to miss out”
The necro reached for Reins head, in a flash Rein grabbed the necro’s arm and with his other hand placed it over the necro’s chest. a deep howling noise that resembled the wind rose from the necro’s body, with a Scream Flames burst out of the necro’s eyes, five seconds passed then the necro’s lifeless corpse crumbled to the ground. Rein pulled out a small broach.
“To the courtyard” Rein whispered
The amethyst in the broach began to glow, there was a purple flash and all that was left in the street was the dead necromancer.
Wolf walked up the stair case leading to the courtyard, Reaper had his arm hanging over Wolf’s shoulder he was still unconscious.
“Almost there” wolf thought to himself
The undead had retreated to the outer city walls. But it was still unsafe to walk around here at night, undead still may be lurking. Wolf could here voices coming from somewhere above him.
“Archers” Wolf whispered
Five archers had a small outpost on the castle wall. Wolf stumbled up the Steps, Reaper murmured something but it was so faint Wolf couldn’t understand. Wolf got to the gates, he gently let Reaper down.
“Hey!”
A few archers that were doing a patrol had heard the shouting. A Archer shouted down to the guards at the gate. Wolf stood in front of the gate the moon shone down on him, the ground was covered with bones of the undead. Creaking from the other side could be heard. The light from the fire lit up Wolfs face, He lifted up Reaper and walked into the courtyard. The doors closed behind him and locked. The Healers rushed over and took Reaper to one of the Med-Units. Wolf spotted Sly by the fire, he walked over and sat down beside him.
“The undead fought hard today”
Sly nodded his head.
“So did the Guards…I thought we were done for”
Sly let out a un-easy laugh. The courtyard flashed with purple light. Rein stood on the castle wall. He walked down to the fire finding a spot to stand beside Wolf.
Morning came the smoke had faded but could still be smelt on the breeze. A few birds chirped. Armed and ready the Guards and Archers where waiting to get started on what they call a “Cleansing mission” the Gates opened and twenty guards and ten archers marched out. Sly, Rein, Wolf and Flare were in the lead, Reaper stayed back the Dracolich had bashed him up pretty badly. A tiny group of five undead and a undead giant ran at the group, The guards easily handled the undead while the archers downed the Giant from a distance. Six more groups like that appeared only to be easily disposed of. The small army reached the outer city gates.
“Rein take your group we’ll sound the horn when needed”
Rein looked at his group “Move Out”
The gates slowly opened a few buildings were placed here and a path leading down to the battlefield were the undead had set up camp, two shrouded figures ran up to Wolf.
“We’ve killed the Generals as u have commanded…the undead army is hopeless now”
“Perfect”
Wolf and the group of guards marched down to the battle field. The undead stood waiting there motionless bodies looked like statues…Statues waiting for the opportune moment to strike u down in a second. Wolf stopped as did all the guards. Wolf, Sly and Flare all raised there swords into the air.
“Charge!” The three yelled together
The group of soldiers all ran at the undead. The undead in the front lines
dropped to there knees and lifted there lances that lay on the ground beside them.
“Fire!”
Arrows flew through the air hitting the undead, some undead only got hit in the shoulder or the leg while others were struck in the head and chest. With most the lances out of the way Wolf and the soldiers ran even faster towards the undead army. Wolf hit a undead in the chest then another in the skull, Sly cut the arm of a undead off then sliced it across the chest. A guard got hit in the face by a shield knocking him to the ground the undead he had been fighting jabbed him in the chest. four more guards were killed, Wolf and the soldiers had put a small dent in the undead army.
“Sound the Horn” Wolf yelled
The Horn echoed through out the field, Rein and his group ran up taking out the side of the army. The two groups merged after, the archers continued to fire killing more of the undead, Rein’s spells was putting a large dent in the undead’s ranks. Three more hours of fighting had brought the soldiers close to the undeads camp. Wolf had got catapults set up behind them. They had this war now. The archers lit there arrows and Fired at the tents of the camp setting it on fire.
Wolf stood on the battlefield bones all around him. In the end fourteen of there men had fallen to the undead. Wolf had the men gather the bodies of the fallen, they deserved a proper burial. The following Day wolf stood on the balcony of the Tower in the middle of the city. The guards had begun repair on the cities walls and buildings, Reaper assisted with the patrols outside city walls and Rein trained young warriors. Wolf put his hand on his blade’s hilt and looked into the blue sky watching as a white bird glided through the Sun filled day. Thus marked the end of the battle for the city of North point.
