"Luckly I still have the keys to this castle."
Ekayto fumbled with the keys for a moment and then selected one, and placed it in the lock.
The door opened and the army of nine entered.
"Allow me to lead the way." said Ekayto, skipping past Graynar, smiling intently.
Ekayto led them down a flight of stairs where they met another convoy of soldiers.
This time Ekayto dealt with them: Summoning his magic, he blasted the soldiers with rivers of fire.
"Captain Vidok is in there. Along with plenty of his men. We must eliminate them all!" said Ekayto looking nervous.
"What are we waiting for? Lets get at them!" yelled Dovac, kicking the doors in, and charging the first soldiers to meet his sword. Graynar, Boldan, Hurokol, king Renovin, and 3 elves, also stormed the room, whipping their weapons at the stunned Scorpian soldiers.
Through the blood in his eyes, Graynar could see captain Vidok, sitting on the throne. He had made several of his own decorations to the room, mostly scorpian ones.
Graynar sliced his way through the soldiers. As did his friends. They all seemed to be running on anger, they wanted the war to truely end. The Scorpian soldiers could not over power the pulsing strength of the army of nine. They were being slaughtered.
Then a silver bolt whipped past Graynar's head. Clipping a notch in his helm. Graynar spun around, behind a flaming pot of fire was-
"Oreck!" shouted Hurokol, "Quickly! Someone take him down before he slays us with his crossbow."
The two elf longbows loaded their bows, but were cut down by Oreck's sinister crossbow.
His fourth shot soared through the bloody air and hit Renovin in the neck.
But Renovin was already there, sword unsheathed, and a final look in his eyes.
Oreck's head flew off his shoulders. Renovin, the king of the sky elves of Tridale, had slain general Oreck.
"No!" yelled Boldan, watching the elf king slump down onto the floor.
But the battle was over. The five remaining warriors, had survived, and had slain numerous Scorpian knights.
"That's right, Lecastal is back in Sikaron's control." said Hurokol, adding to what Ekayto had said.
"Alright, I admit, you beat my soldiers." said Vidok, with a low screeching voice.
"But now you must defeat me, if you want your little castle back."
"Wait one moment," said Graynar, "Did you send those amenters upon us?"
"Hehe," replied Vidok, "Of course I did. I did not expect you to make it here. That is why we left our defences down. But I see the error of my ways. And now I must correct them. So, who is going to except my challenge?"
"Haha, you do, do you. Well then, let's fight." replied Vidok sneakly.
The two humans drew their blades. A duel was about to begin, a duel for Lecastal.
