The lizardmen walk up the winding stairs. Sess'sth looks at his halberd, the top is still glowing, then he looks to the wise lizard.
"Why is the top of my halberd blade glowing?" he asks.
"It senses our presence. It will glow forever, as long as we are close."
The lizards reach the top of the stairs, the walls open up, revealing that it is morning now. The wise lizard walks out. He motions for Sess'sth to come, so he does, but the others just stand there and watch. The wise lizard and Sess'sth walk up a narrow path and reach the very top of the mountain, which is flat for them to stand. The wise old lizard points to the north.
"The stronghold of the two evils, and their worshipers." he tells Sess'sth. In the far distance, great walls rise up from plateaus, behind the walls is an enormous tower, which seems to be larger than the mountain which the two lizards are standing. A dark light is seen at the top of the tower.
"It is only a few leagues away!" Sess'sth exclaims. "The army might be there by now!"
"Then we must hurry." The wise lizard runs down the narrow path and Sess'sth follows.
Far away, the army of the Monks of the Light gathers together for the battle. Brian had waited off as much time as he could so Sess'sth could return, but he still hadn't. They had to move. Brian thought of some things as they began to get ready to march. What did Sess'sth mean he might not come back alone? Hopefully he will return with some help. Hopefully Kincent will be back to full health before the battle, he will be needed. Brian walks over to the tent where Kincent was put after his men found him.

"Where is who?" Maktan said, curious about Kincents outburst
"where is Lessien!?" Kincent said worriedly
"Lessien? I don't know." Maktan said
Kincent says, "We ne-" But Maktan cuts him off
"Before you say anything else or anything else, I don't care how important, I need some question answered. Ok?"
Maktan takes a deep breath. "Now why did you all leave without me, and also what is going on? I demand an explanation kincent. Then we could do what we need to do."
Maktan sits back, waiting to listen to the whole story.
Kincent looks at Maktan and grins.
“Good to see you take charge...anyways.”
”We left with out you because....Hell I don’t know Sess was in a hurry he told us the story and we did have much time we couldn’t find you so we left Or that’s what I’ve been told.” Kincent grins a litte and winks.
“Very well Kincent joke about it all you want but I want to know why you came here..since you already told me why you left me.” mutters about something
”Well do you want to know what we were told to get us here, or why we are really here.”
“Both.”
” we came here becuase....These people are about to go to war with dark monks.”
“How does deal with us?”
“We believe Cloud Deathrider, and Moden are their leaders...as a matter of fact I know Cloud is here and he has new tricks. Happy day for us.”
” If you want to know the full true reason we are here then stick around and maybe you can help me figure it out.”
Maktan was about to comment on what Kincent said when Both of them heard yelling outside the tent. Maktan look out the tent and turned pale.
Outside the tent an elven foot tall ogre and a short goblin standing on the ogres shoulder were walking towards the encampment. Arrows went flying and dbounces of the Ogres thick skin. Ogre then speakes to the goblin..
"Jord, they seem to want to hurt me, Jord"
Jord open his mouth and says "Stop! Stop! we don't come here to fight!"
The men was surprised to hear this, an ogre and a goblin who are not willing to cause trouble.
"What do you want then??" A man said, he practically growled at the goblin
"Well kind sirs," Jord said, "we are looking for a property of mine you see, a little girl who was given to me by a towns chief, she ran away with a dwarf, or at least he says he is a dwarf, I never heard of one myself, but back to the point, have you seen a suspicious short dwarf and a girl?"
Maktan and Kincent are still in the tent, Maktan looks over and grins at Kincent,
"Well kincent I shall let you talk the way out of this, eh? I'll tell ya later how all this happened"
Kincent stands up and grabs Surion off the table beside him and walks out side
”Well first of all the little man is a dwarf, and second you can’t have him he already belongs to my clan, and for the girl........naw I don’t think that will work either, as nice as you to fine gentlemen seem I have a small problem with leaving a young lady of such a age with a goblin and a orc and most defiantly not when the say she is their property.”
“Well you red haired little bastred I don’t care had her and the “dwarf” over.” The goblin glares at Kincent.
“Umm...Jord the man did seem to make sense.”
“Shut up! And kill that bastred NOW!”
The orc looks at Jord with a unsure look but when he sees Jord face he charges forward and swings his weapon at Kincent, Kincent jumps to the side and doges the blow.Kincent jumps on the above the orc and comes down slash downward at the orcs head. The Orc falls to the ground and the earth shakes a litte
“You basterd you killed him!”
The Jord reaches for a dagger and throws it at Kincent, who doges yet another blow the dagger hits the ground and Jord runs...
“Normal I’m not this cold hearted but...you’re a coward who won’t he fight for his “friends” honor.”
Kincent looks and sees a camp fire by one of the tents he pulls a flame over to him and makes it grown in to a fire ball, Kincent trys he’s best to make it turn white like he did with Cloud but he can’t the best he can get is to give the flame a small white glow to it, regardless he throws it at Jord once he reaches the edge of camp the goblin burst inflames and like the tree burns in to ash before Kincent could see what happened.
"where is Lessien!?" Kincent said worriedly
"Lessien? I don't know." Maktan said
Kincent says, "We ne-" But Maktan cuts him off

Brian walks by, telling the troops to get ready. He sees the dead ogre, and some strange looking ashes and walks up to Kincent.
"What happened here?!" Brian exclames.
"An ogre and a goblin were looking for one of their prisoners, and trying to hurt Maktan." Kincent angrilly answers, sheathing his sword. Brian looks at Kincent, he had become so violent and angry because of some threats. Brian guesses it was for the best.
"Well then, let us hope no more of them have come. Everyone get ready to march!!"

Calamaendra and Chuirion continue to wander around. I'll be right back, Calamaendra." Chuirion says. Chuirion walks deeper in to the woods trying to find a place to sit down and think. Suddenly Chuirion hears the slightest noise in the distance. Chuirion starts to walk towards it. Chuirion eventually comes to a huge hill . He climbs up and looks over. He almost chokes at what he sees. thousands of goblins wearing armor and wielding weapons just standing in the distance."They must know where we are" Chuirion thinks to himself. A sounds behind him brings him back to reality. A goblin was watching him. The goblin holds an axe ready to strike. Chuirion quickly swings Aureah,his firesword, at the goblins neck,slicing the goblin in two. Chuirion runs silently towards camp holding the dead goblin corpse in his shoulder. "Brian! Goblins ! Thousands to the west! They must be waiting for us! Chuirion says. Chuirion thumps the goblin corpse down. "This one was watching me but luckily the armry didn't see me!" Chuirion says. "Get ready for a battle everyone!" Brian yells. Everyone suits up for yet another battle

Kincent looks at all the people around and the dead ogre......
"Did i just kill a ogre in one hit?"
'Yes i belive you did Kincent...." Brian looks at Kincent look of
confusion
"Strange it shouldn't have been that easy, i was annoyed by the two and so mad i didn't even take the time to notice that it was a ogre....."
"Kincent are you alright?" Maktan looks at Kincent with a worried look
"I don't know anymore Maktan.....Now where is Lessien, and what about the man who brought me to the camp site."
Brian looks at Kincent with a worried look as well
"Kincent, Lessien is dead we found you bloody and beaten just out side of camp it looked like you had carried her for miles until you finally passed out. There was no man......."
"........I need sometime to figure things out..........."
Before anything else can be said Kincent walks off, suddenly the yells of Chuirion can be heard as he runs in to camp.
((OOC note: in the post where kincent kills jord and the "orc" it should be a ogre, when i was posting i thought maktan said it was an orc but i was mistaken. (oh and now kincent seems like a super human being able to kill a ogre in one blow...sorry
))

A large goblin, almost taller than an average sized man, gathers his forces for battle. As a token of their gratitude to King Moden for freeing them from the realm which they had been trapped for centuries, the goblin thought that killing these man folk would bring Moden pleasure in having them at his service, and maybe he would even give them extra rations when they return from their long battle! He gathered up his goblin warriors and prepared for the attack.
"Git ready yeh dogs! We need te' kill 'em before they all git up fer their march to the tower! Now git up and fight fer yer King Moden!" the goblin screams to the others, drops of yellow liquid drop from his mouth as he yells. The goblins start to form lines and the large goblin makes his way to the front.
A short while later, the army is ready for their charge to battle. Most of them draw their small, dull edged weapons. The large goblin opens his mouth to yell 'charge', but before he can speak, an arrow flies from the forest through his throat. The tall goblin gurgles and struggles, but soon enough falls to the ground lifeless. More arrows fly from the trees and the shrubs and goblins suddenly fall to the ground, their bodies bereft of life. The enemy has found them!!! They must have caught the spy! The goblins roar in anger and lead themselves into battle. As they charge towards the forest, more and more goblins fall dead upon the ground, but there are still many left. Just as the goblins enter the forest, sword and axe and spear come to meet their flesh.

Maktan waits on top of a branch waiting till enough goblins pass by. Suddenly Maktan jumps out of the tree crying out his warcry. "Die you fools!". Maktans two dwatven axes carved goblin after goblin. In the distance he see's A goblin with a bow. The goblin cry out in horror as he realises an axe is sticking out of his chest. Now with only one axe, Maktan takes out his shield. A war hammer hammered against maktan's shield knocking him back, a fireball came out and fried the goblin from the. Maktan couldn't see where the fireball came from, but didn't care as another squad of goblins head his way. Maktan jumped high in the air and slams his axe to the ground with brutal force. Rocks went flying in front of Maktan, spraying into a group of goblins. Most of them were either seriously injured or blinded or both. Maktan then saw he was sorrounded. " Well then... Try to get me now!" Maktan raised his axe in the air, and fire rose from the ground sorrounding maktan. The goblins backed off, staring and waiting. The fire soon shrunk and withered away. The goblins charged to find no one is there. Maktan hops from tree to tree. Then he drops a Massive fireball in the middle of the confused goblins. The fireball splits into smaller fireballs and caught the goblins on fire. Then maktan heard one of the goblins shout "There is a fire seer over her, special squad, move forward!" A group of goblins wearing black armor charged at maktan. Maktan sent fireball after fireball, But their armor seemed to absorb each one. "Grrr..." Maktan growls as he charges toward the first of them. He slam the axe at the goblin, crushing his skull, But Maktan then retreated seeing that there are too many of them. "resistant to fire eh? But lets see if you can be crushed!" Makan sent fireballs to all the tall trees, sending them falling on to the goblins. The Dark goblins slammed his sword onto the falling trees and they shattered to pieces. Maktan Immediately started running to Kincent, ready to tell Him about the twelve remaining Dark Goblins, who seem to be immune to fire, but not phisically. Hundreds of goblins followed him.

Tobias was in the front lines. He had killed a few goblins himself, when a large goblin had found him while he was looking away. The goblin's blunt sword jabbed forward, but flew from its hands as a crossbow bolt had plunged deep into its skin. The goblin fell dead. Tobias nods to the archer as a 'thank you' and charges forward. He sees a dwarf who looks like he is in trouble. The sailor sees goblins wearing strong black armor, so he decides he will help the dwarf by picking a few of them off of him.
A horn is heard in the distance.

A lesser goblin commander feels quite proud of himself as he watches the goblins attack. Especially the dark goblins. Those armor proved quite useful, he can easily remember where they got them.
6 months ago:
"We got him sir! an old man walking in our territory." A goblin yelled. "Let me see him," said the lesser goblin commander. An old man cloked in black said, "Please let me go, I am a magical blacksmith, If you let me go, I will give you powerful armor, deal?" As The blacksmith gave away his armor, he smiled, as if he planned on being caught, and walked away. The lesser goblin commander brought the armor to the main commander.
Back to present
"Hahahaha we can't lose now!" The lesser commander grins as he watch a hopeless dwarf run away from his soldiers.
The horn in the distance is louder.

Sess'sth, now 'chief' of the Giovant Tribe, leads the marching army to the army of the Monks of the Light, where Kincent, Chuirion, Tobias, Brian, and many others wait. Sess'sth does not even know that Maktan has come yet, but he senses something. Sess'sth suddenly stops and opens the palm of his left hand. With very little effort, he lights a fire in his hands and stares into it. Seeing this fire in his hands, the other lizardmen around him bow to their knees.
Sess'sth looks deep into the flames and he sees many figures. They are fighting, and they are not at the walls of the enemy fortress.... It must be an ambush! Sess'sth stands up and speaks to the fire, "Flame! Show us the way to the master of flames! Show us the way to Kincent, and make haste!!" and with those words, the flame soars through the air towards a large forest. Sess'sth gets his halberd ready, and unsheaths his sword. He keeps a weapon in each hand, and starts sprinting after the flame to the forest.
Something had changed inside Sess'sth. The foolish young lizard had left him, and in its place a warrior arose. He was slowly getting older too. Sess'sth was almost 30 years old in lizard years. He did not really know much about human years, but from his knowledge of this, his age was somewhere between 18 and 20, so he guessed he was around 19.
Lizard horns from his army are blown, and can be heard for miles and miles. The lizards enter the forest, they don't know it, but they aren't too far now....
Brian has had enough of this battle. Every man he loses, the farther he falls away from a chance of victory in the battle that matters, the one at the fortress of the Dark Monks. They couldn't lose too many more, or they would have no chance of winning the next battle. They barely have a chance now, even with Sess'sth's seige weapons, which are being built as they fight here.
"RETREAT! SOLDIERS FALL BACK! ARCHERS, FIRE AT WILL!!!" he commands with all the breath in his lungs. He coughs and gasps for air as he retreats with the rest of his army. The bowmen slowly move backwards, and fire arrow upon arrow into the lines of goblins.
The horns get louder and louder. Another army is coming..... If they are enemies, this may be the last battle after all, which means they will have failed. What Brian, and everyone there doesn't know, is that it is Sess'sth, who has found himself an army.

The goblin army charges closer and closer to the archers of the Monks of the Light. The rest of the army of monks retreat to the camp and find the best places they can find to fortify. If they lose many more men, there will be no chance of success in the last battle, the one that really counts. Brian and several other men bring shield after shield out from the carpenter and smith tents, and give each warrior an extra shield. Tobias and the remains of his crew start to help them. They bring out bows, crossbows, bolts, and arrows.
The archers are almost surrounded, and they are forced to retreat at full speed. This was the perfect ambush for the goblins, and the worst thing that could happen for Brian's army.
The horns in the distance are very loud.
The archers reach camp, followed by the goblins, and arrows are fired into the goblins. The goblins finally get close enough to Brian's men, the armies clash together once again.
Chuirion and Maktan are next to eachother. They fight side to side. The two wonder where Kincent went, and wonder who's horns are blowing.
Brian and Tobias fight side to side. They both wonder where Sess'sth went.......
From the east, Sess'sth emerges from the forest, halberd in one hand, sword in the other. Following him are thousands of red lizards like himself. The lizards cry their war cries, and plunge into battle. The goblins see them, and most of them start to run.
"ATTACK!!" Brian and his men charge. Now there is hope!
Goblin after goblin is sliced, beaten, or trampled......
None are left alive.

Chuirion scans around him searching for Kincent or Calaemandra. He walks around seeing dead goblins sprawled on the ground. He walks further in to the mess and sees a man laying under a goblin. He gently rolls the goblin off the man an is suprised to see Kincent with a strange bruised mark on his head. Chuirion slowly picks Kincent up taking him to camp"Sess'sth! There you are! Come here!" Chuirion says.....

Sess'sth hears Chuirion calling him, so he leaves the army of lizardmen and walks towards the elf, who is holding an unconcious Kincent. As he moves closer he says, "What, no greeting? Whats wrong with Kincent?"
"I don't know, I found him passed out." Chuirion answers. They drag him around as Maktan comes around. The three pick him up and bring him to camp.

Sess'sth leaves the healing center and sees Brian.
"Greetings Sess'sth! You did not return alone I see."
"No, I have not. I found my home tribe. They will help us defeat the Dark Monks. Come, meet my tribe." Sess'sth takes Brian to his tribe. The wise lizard and Brian talk for a while about things, and Sess'sth interrupts them.
"We must get ready for battle. I will go check on the smiths and carpenters to see if they are ready yet." Sess'th tells them, and he walks to the workshops.
"How many seige shields have you made?" Sess'sth asks them.
"About 500 sir."
"And the launchers?"
"We have about 50 launchers right now sir."
"What about the chains and anchors?"
"We have about 50 of those too sir."
"Good," Sess'sth tells him, "Keep working. You are doing great!"
The wise old lizard steps in with a few strong looking lizards. He steps forward.
"We can build some seige equipment too, Sess'sth."
"Yessssss. We cansssss!" one of the other lizards says.
"Good. Show me what you can make." Sess'sth follows the lizards outside.
"Greetings Sess'sth! You did not return alone I see."
"No, I have not. I found my home tribe. They will help us defeat the Dark Monks. Come, meet my tribe." Sess'sth takes Brian to his tribe. The wise lizard and Brian talk for a while about things, and Sess'sth interrupts them.
"We must get ready for battle. I will go check on the smiths and carpenters to see if they are ready yet." Sess'th tells them, and he walks to the workshops.
"How many seige shields have you made?" Sess'sth asks them.
"About 500 sir."
"And the launchers?"
"We have about 50 launchers right now sir."
"What about the chains and anchors?"
"We have about 50 of those too sir."
"Good," Sess'sth tells him, "Keep working. You are doing great!"

The sounds of Swords clashing, the yelling of the goblins and men as the fall, the arrows flying through the air, and turning to see a close friend being chased buy a unit of goblins in magic armour, calling his name and runing towards him when all of a sudden a club comes to close, and suddenly compelet darkness.........
"Kincent wake up.......it's me"
Kincent moans a little and open his eyes to find he's still in cased in the darkness
" My head what the hell happened."
"Kincent you have fallen on the battle feild..."
"Huh.....you mean I'm dead again...NO! No this can't be my friends need me and i must avange all the people Cloud has hurt!"
"Worrie not my child, consider this a vision like the ones you've been having in the fire lately."
"Then it's true then, it shall all end on this isle..."
"All is not how is seems...." The man says some words in a ancient tongue
"How!? How do you know that, and who are you"
"Kincent it is me,Mablung Súrion'
"Master......"

Chuirion sighs and walks off searching for Calamaendra to tell her of what is happening. He finds her leaning against a tree. "Your okay! Good!"
Calamaendra looks up at Chuirion and smiles. "Yes.."
"Kincent.. my clan leader.. got struck in the head during battle.. I hope he'll be alright... I am returning back to the nurses... Would you like to come?"
"Yes okay.."Calamandra follows Chuirion back to the nurses where they wait even further.
Calamaendra looks up at Chuirion and smiles. "Yes.."

Not too far away, a large tower surrounded by shadow and giant walls, waits for battle. Many figures enter the tower's great gates. They crawl up the winding stairs higher and higher, and finally reach a great room almost at the top of the tower. In this room there are many chairs, where many goblins and dark men sit, waiting for something to happen. Between the rows of chairs, a long red carpet leads to wooden stairs, which lead to the very top of the gigantic 168 story tall tower. At the top of the tower, the most powerful Dark Monks and the most powerful goblins, and the most powerful being there, Cloud Deathrider, chant in the tongue of darkness. Cloud steps forward out of the chanting crowd and yells loudly in the same dark tongue. He looks at an Obelisk made of dark stone. He yells the words at the Obelisk, and slowly puts his hand on it. There are runic words on the Obelisk, and as the others chant, and as Cloud yells the loud words, the runic words start to glow bright yellow. The chants get louder, and so do Cloud's screams. The runic words on the Obelisk are as yellow as a thousand suns.
There is silence......
Only silence........
Everyone looks at the Obelisk. Then they look a little to the left of it.....
The silence is suddenly broken as a dark red portal emerges from nowhere. Cloud stares at it a little, and then walks toward the portal.
He enters the portal.
Cloud appears in the darkest of rooms. He sees nothing but darkness.... nothing exept a long pathway made of stone floating in the air leading to where he is standing, on a large stone made of the same dark stone, with the same runic words. Cloud looks up, and sees his brother. His brother Moden.
Moden is chained to a large rock with the same runic words. He looks disfigured, his body brown and old, he does not even seem to be a man. Moden stops his screaming and struggling, and looks at his brother. Cloud looks back at Moden and grins.
Cloud walks up to Moden, and sees a key hole behind Moden's chained body. Cloud reaches around Moden's neck, and puts his hand on the hole. He begins chanting in the same dark words. The chants become louder and louder.....
A chain breaks.
Another chain breaks.
More and more chains break from the body of Moden as Cloud chants louder and louder.
All of the chains have been broken. Moden drops his arms freely, and looks at his brother. Cloud takes his hands off the key hole, and the rock which Moden was chained to collapses, and falls into the never ending darkness. Cloud puts his hand on the forehead of the disfigured Moden, and he whispers some words. Moden's body slowly changes it's figure, and he slowly looks like a man again. Cloud's whispers get louder and Moden gets stronger and stronger, his body enlargens to his demon form.......
"Welcome back, brother." Cloud tells him.
"Thank you brother. It is good to be back, finally. We have some work to do." Moden answers.

Kincent looks around and there's a sudden break in the darkness a cloak man appears siting on a throne with fire around him...
"Master I have much to ask."
"And I have much to tell, worry not we can take as much time as we like, time moves faster in this realm, we can talk for ours and it will only amout to seconds in the real world.."
"Master, The swords....I named Surion after you, what is it's true name and what is it's past and the same for the twin blade Cloud has..and the potions, and that man who carried me back to the camp?"
"Ah, the swords the true name of the sword you hold is always was always will be Surion,and the one Cloud holds is Furion,the potions are rare fire seer potions,the man who to you to camp was me."
"I need to know more."
"And I shall tell you more just wait."

Chuirion grows tired of waiting and waiting and decides to head out in to the forest. He tells Calamaendra he will be back. He finds some tree limbs large enough to carve. He takes his saw and carves a pointed arrow. He takes his bow and aims for a tree. He continues to brushen up on his archering. He carves out a walking stick for Calamaendra. Chuirion then sits there carving arrows waiting for the march to begin.

"Long ago....the Fire Seer clan was a weak tribe with very limtted power and knowledge, but two great Flames rose one gathered much knowledge and master useing the flames in ritauls and use the fire for visions, the other devote him self to learn who to use the fire as a very powerful weapon...The where rivals until the day they died, but they would go down in history as heros who togher made the fire seer clan the great warrior, and wise men....."
"But in their foot steps their sons arose both with the powers their fathers work so hard to find, That wasn't good enough for them they had to live up to each of their dads...one,Neblong Furion turn to the bone lord and gave over his soul for the powers of the dark master, the other, ..my self...Mablung Surion turned to the gods of the light and they blessed our clan, but Neblong fought for controll and i fought for control as well...soon the others choose their sides and a great battle was surely going to take place, Knowing that i would need a strong weapon I turn to the best smith in our clan, while it was being smithed i did ritauls to bless it....and once it was smtihed I asked the gods to give it power as well."
"Mean while Neblong was doing the same......"
"When the day of the battle came our swords clashed the power of both of them was great, but one was pure darkness and the other holy..it caused a werid affact and fire fly in to the sky form the blades...."
"When the battle was over both side lost many and things looked bad for both armys,however Neblong and i kept fighting until finally the negative build up of the swords caused a huge surge of enegry and we were both defeated.....our armys pulled back they ran and hides in a moutin we fled to the Forest."
"Many years later A young Fire Seer under my guidance found how to make a potion of great power when used the fire ran through like blood and made the user uncontroll able strong, I only allowed him to make 4 which i then lock up only to be used in the worse of times......"
"Neblong found out about this and sent a spy, who some how got away with two of them....."
"The other two you have, when i found you in the forest i gave you one, the other you've had since that fate full day..."
Kincent looks at his master and nods....
"I see.."
"Kincent the rest will have to wait you must get ready for battle.
"But mas...."
Before he can finsh he finds him self slowly coming to.....

Sess'sth can't get back to sleep so he desides to get ready with the rest of the Giovant Tribe.
He gets to where the rest of the tribe sleeps, and all the lizards are gathered around the wise lizard holding some items. Sess'sth walks through the crowd to the old lizard.
"Greetings Sess'sth." the wise lizard tells him.
"Hello everyone.... what is going on here?" Sess'sth asks.
The wise lizard holds out the items.
"Our finest smiths have created these for you Sess'sth. Put them on!"
The wise lizard holds out some armor, and Sess'sth takes it. The armor consists of metal knee pads, metal leggings, and metal tail plate armor with spikes all around it. The wise lizard also gives Sess'sth a new loin cloth with the simbol of the tribe burnt into it, a dragon and a lizard, with strange shapes all around them. Sess'sth smiles, and thanks them. He returns to his tent to put them on.
Sess'sth returns to them with the armor on, and he looks like the true Chief of the Giovant Tribe.
"Let us get ready to march."

Maktan had been getting ready for the battle for a while now. He had been sharpening his dwarven axe whenever he had time. Maktan notices Kincent trying to get everyone up and ready, and he sees Sess'sth getting his army ready. Maktan stands.
"Its about time!" he says, grinning. Maktan gets his things ready for the march. He goes to help Kincent wake up the others.

Chuirion suddenly awakens to the sound of Kincent and Maktan calling. He sighs knowing that they will probabley reach the tower today. He takes out his armor and puts it all in to place. He finally reaches for his firesword. Hr grips the hilt tightly, thinking of what damage it will cause. He holds his bow on his back with his new arrows he carved in his bag. He finally gets up preparing himself for the march ahead.

Hours later, the army is all ready to march. Everyone exchanges words of wisdom. It is getting late, and the march will start soon, but first Brian, Kincent, Chuirion, and Sess'sth step forward. They give their last words of wisdom. First, Brian speaks.
"Today is the day of battle. Today we march to the Dark Monk Fortress! Today we fight, either to death and glory, or to life and glory! Today we destroy the evil which has entered our lands, and we shall drive it from this realm into the next! Today we shall finally win the war!!!"
The crowd cheers, and Chuirion steps forward next.
"I can assure you all that we will conquer these monks, never allowing them to spread there evil again. You are defending these monks for your friends, your family, and your freedom! Those monks will pay for what they did, and you will help assure that!"
The crowd cheers once again, and it is Kincent's turn. Kincent looks over the army and forces a smile...
"We are about to start the march towards your freedom, I can bet my life that we shall win this battle......But I won't feed you full of good cheer and happiness....You all are about to march in to the most horrible thing you have ever been through, many shall fall and few will walk out without injures. BUT the price you pay will be more than worth it, your going to live with out fear, your family and friend will live in peace. We will march and we shall fight, and there will be hell to pay for the monks! And when we return we are gonna DRINK!"
The crowd gives out a louder cheer, and settle down as Sess'sth steps forward.
"Greetings to all of you! Like everyone else has said, this is the final battle, the battle that will determine whether you will have freedom or not..... I am sorry for saying this..... but some... no, many of us will die this day, dying for our freedom of these evils. I cannot say we will have victory, because that cannot be assured. Only fate can determine that. But know this-Fate can be changed! If you believe it can, then maybe, just maybe it will change! But this is a cause worth fighting for, whether victory shall be obtained or not! We have got to try, and if we win, then let us celebrate this day for years to come, and let our children remember those who lost their lives for the cause!.... And if we lose, then let us give them Hell before they take us! Let us make an ending worthy of rememberence! And let it never be forgotten!!.... But if we do win, we shall remember this day, and our children shall remember this day! And the evil shall remember this day as the day of a great defeat! And the world shall remember this day as the day of the Independance of the Monks of the Light, and The Last Stand of the Fire Seers!!!!!!!!!"
The crowd cheers loudly one last time, and they begin the march.

The army reaches the boarders of the Dark Monk territory. The walls around the tower can be seen.
"Form lines!" Brian shouts. "Get ready for the battle! Form lines!"
Sess'sth looks at his fellow Seers. He speaks with them one more time before the battle.
"No matter what happens...... let us remember this day. The day our fates tied together and we fought for our freedom of Moden and Cloud. Let us remember this day as the day we united and fought side by side as friends....... no. As brothers."
"March!" Brian shouts and the army begins to march. In the distance, on the walls on the steep hills, heads rise up, and bows fire into the crowd.
"Hand out the siege shields! One for each five warriors in the front lines! Get the rest of the siege equipment ready!"
The shields are passed out to the front lines and large bows on wheels ((simple kind of ballistas)) are pulled at the back of the army, and so are carts full of anchors and chains.
The army reaches the base of the hills, still under fire of the enemy arrows, and a smaller army is formed, which marches up a slope which is not as steep.
"Archers fire at will!!!" Brian shouts, and arrows fly from the army onto the walls.
"Launch siege shields!!"
The chains from the carts are connected to big anchors and are brought to the front lines. The chains are shoved through 2 holes in the shields very quickly. The anchor is hooked up to the elastic ropes on the large bows on wheels. A captain is at every large bow. The captains get 5 soldiers each and the soldiers pull on the elastic ropes until they cannot pull anymore, and they let go when their captains tell them to do so.
The captains tell their men to let go, and the anchors are flung up onto the walls. The rest of the soldiers pull on the chains until they are tight.
The 5 warriors that are behind each of the shields unhook a small piece of the shield, on which they will stand. The soldiers stand on the small piece which stays at a 90 degree angle. The rest of the soldiers pull on the chains even harder, and the siege shields are pulled up to the walls slowly.
The smaller army has climbed up the hills to the walls, and are making their way to the main gate. The smaller army consists of most of the Giovant Tribe, all of the Fire Seers, Tobias, his crew, and a few other humans. They also bring the large siege shields to with them to hide them from arrow fire. They have almost reached the gate.
The siege shields from the larger army are almost at the walls. A few of the chains snap and the men on the shields fall to their deaths. They have almost reached the walls.
The smaller army reaches the gates.
"Ready the ram!" Sess'sth yells and a great battering ram, hidden behind the large siege shields, is picked up by the warriors. They take some steps back, then they run towards the gates and ram into them. They ram it again. They ram it again. They ram it again!
"The enemies are supporting the gates! Climb the ladders and distract them!" Sess'sth shouts and two ladders are set up on each side of the battering ram. The men who where not helping with the ram climb up the ladders, including Tobias and his crew.
"Good luck Tobias... Are you sure you don't want to stay here and let me take your place up there?"
"No Sess'sth. Ye stay here. I must go up there with meh crew. Good luck to ye too." Tobias looks down at Sess'sth as he climbs up the ladder.
The siege shields have finally reached the walls, and the soldiers hold on tight as the shields hit the walls hard. The men climb over to tops of the siege shields with drawn weapons, and they fight the enemy dark monks and goblins that await them.
Tobias reaches the top of the gate. It has been taken over by the rest of the soldiers who climbed with him, so they run down the stairs to the enemy soldiers who are holding the gate down as it is rammed. Tobias slices through a goblin and kicks another at the same time. He stabs the goblin he kicked and the sword goes through to the other side of the goblin. He pulls the sword out and goes after a dark monk.
A few Dark Monk archers gather by and fire at the Monks of the Light and the lizardmen who are fighting inside the gate. Many of the the warriors of the light fall but they still outnumber their enemies. Tobias stabs another Dark Monk and hears something.... a bow string loading an arrow. He looks to his right towards the giant tower as he takes his sword out of the dead monk. He sees a dark monk pull back on his bow string and let go.
Time seems to be going at a much slower pace. Tobias sees the arrow fly from the bow towards him. He cannot move, there is not enough time. He just stand there and watches.
The arrow hits, and digs deep into Tobias' skin. He falls to the ground from the impact. He is not dead, but he is very hurt. A goblin sees him still alive, and raises it's sword to stab Tobias. Tobias lifts his sword as fast as he can, but with his pain it is not fast enough. The rusty sword is forced into his stomach 3 times. The goblin raises it's sword to stab again, but before it can the gates are forced open and they crush the goblin into a wall. The gates almost hit Tobias too, but the impact the arrow made, made him fly into a corner where the gates cannot reach.
The rest of the smaller army plunges through the gates and soon all the goblins and dark monks down there are dead. Sess'sth looks around for Tobias to thank him for helping, but Tobias is nowhere to be seen. The gates slowly move a little, and Sess'sth sees Tobias in the corner. He sees the arrow and the bloody wounds in his skin, and Sess'sth runs over to Tobias.
"Sess'sth......."
"Tobias what happened?!"
"My....... my fate happened."
Sess'sth looks at him..... he doesn't know what to say.
"That was my fate.... to help ye break through the gates, and to die after I did meh share of helping. And it was my fate to be the one to do it. Say.... say I let ye be the one to climb the ladder and fight down here. Ye would be the one to die instead of me.... and that means ye couldn't fight Moden, which means we would fail, for it is your fate, Sess'sth, to kill Moden... and only your fate......"
"Tobias..... "
"I must go now Sess'sth.... It is part of my fate. Fare thee well, Sess'sth. I will be waiting for ye on the other side........."
And Tobias died there. He died with a slight smile, even though he was in much pain. Sess'sth looks at the old dead sailor, a tear slides down his cheek. Sess'sth stands up slowly, remembering he is in a battle, and he looks for Kincent as he kills off a few goblins and dark monks.
"Form lines!" Brian shouts. "Get ready for the battle! Form lines!"
Sess'sth looks at his fellow Seers. He speaks with them one more time before the battle.
"No matter what happens...... let us remember this day. The day our fates tied together and we fought for our freedom of Moden and Cloud. Let us remember this day as the day we united and fought side by side as friends....... no. As brothers."
"March!" Brian shouts and the army begins to march. In the distance, on the walls on the steep hills, heads rise up, and bows fire into the crowd.
"Hand out the siege shields! One for each five warriors in the front lines! Get the rest of the siege equipment ready!"
The shields are passed out to the front lines and large bows on wheels ((simple kind of ballistas)) are pulled at the back of the army, and so are carts full of anchors and chains.
The army reaches the base of the hills, still under fire of the enemy arrows, and a smaller army is formed, which marches up a slope which is not as steep.
"Archers fire at will!!!" Brian shouts, and arrows fly from the army onto the walls.
"Launch siege shields!!"
The chains from the carts are connected to big anchors and are brought to the front lines. The chains are shoved through 2 holes in the shields very quickly. The anchor is hooked up to the elastic ropes on the large bows on wheels. A captain is at every large bow. The captains get 5 soldiers each and the soldiers pull on the elastic ropes until they cannot pull anymore, and they let go when their captains tell them to do so.
The captains tell their men to let go, and the anchors are flung up onto the walls. The rest of the soldiers pull on the chains until they are tight.
The 5 warriors that are behind each of the shields unhook a small piece of the shield, on which they will stand. The soldiers stand on the small piece which stays at a 90 degree angle. The rest of the soldiers pull on the chains even harder, and the siege shields are pulled up to the walls slowly.
The smaller army has climbed up the hills to the walls, and are making their way to the main gate. The smaller army consists of most of the Giovant Tribe, all of the Fire Seers, Tobias, his crew, and a few other humans. They also bring the large siege shields to with them to hide them from arrow fire. They have almost reached the gate.
The siege shields from the larger army are almost at the walls. A few of the chains snap and the men on the shields fall to their deaths. They have almost reached the walls.
The smaller army reaches the gates.
"Ready the ram!" Sess'sth yells and a great battering ram, hidden behind the large siege shields, is picked up by the warriors. They take some steps back, then they run towards the gates and ram into them. They ram it again. They ram it again. They ram it again!
"The enemies are supporting the gates! Climb the ladders and distract them!" Sess'sth shouts and two ladders are set up on each side of the battering ram. The men who where not helping with the ram climb up the ladders, including Tobias and his crew.
"Good luck Tobias... Are you sure you don't want to stay here and let me take your place up there?"
"No Sess'sth. Ye stay here. I must go up there with meh crew. Good luck to ye too." Tobias looks down at Sess'sth as he climbs up the ladder.
The siege shields have finally reached the walls, and the soldiers hold on tight as the shields hit the walls hard. The men climb over to tops of the siege shields with drawn weapons, and they fight the enemy dark monks and goblins that await them.
Tobias reaches the top of the gate. It has been taken over by the rest of the soldiers who climbed with him, so they run down the stairs to the enemy soldiers who are holding the gate down as it is rammed. Tobias slices through a goblin and kicks another at the same time. He stabs the goblin he kicked and the sword goes through to the other side of the goblin. He pulls the sword out and goes after a dark monk.
A few Dark Monk archers gather by and fire at the Monks of the Light and the lizardmen who are fighting inside the gate. Many of the the warriors of the light fall but they still outnumber their enemies. Tobias stabs another Dark Monk and hears something.... a bow string loading an arrow. He looks to his right towards the giant tower as he takes his sword out of the dead monk. He sees a dark monk pull back on his bow string and let go.
Time seems to be going at a much slower pace. Tobias sees the arrow fly from the bow towards him. He cannot move, there is not enough time. He just stand there and watches.
The arrow hits, and digs deep into Tobias' skin. He falls to the ground from the impact. He is not dead, but he is very hurt. A goblin sees him still alive, and raises it's sword to stab Tobias. Tobias lifts his sword as fast as he can, but with his pain it is not fast enough. The rusty sword is forced into his stomach 3 times. The goblin raises it's sword to stab again, but before it can the gates are forced open and they crush the goblin into a wall. The gates almost hit Tobias too, but the impact the arrow made, made him fly into a corner where the gates cannot reach.
The rest of the smaller army plunges through the gates and soon all the goblins and dark monks down there are dead. Sess'sth looks around for Tobias to thank him for helping, but Tobias is nowhere to be seen. The gates slowly move a little, and Sess'sth sees Tobias in the corner. He sees the arrow and the bloody wounds in his skin, and Sess'sth runs over to Tobias.
"Sess'sth......."
"Tobias what happened?!"
"My....... my fate happened."
Sess'sth looks at him..... he doesn't know what to say.
"That was my fate.... to help ye break through the gates, and to die after I did meh share of helping. And it was my fate to be the one to do it. Say.... say I let ye be the one to climb the ladder and fight down here. Ye would be the one to die instead of me.... and that means ye couldn't fight Moden, which means we would fail, for it is your fate, Sess'sth, to kill Moden... and only your fate......"
"Tobias..... "
"I must go now Sess'sth.... It is part of my fate. Fare thee well, Sess'sth. I will be waiting for ye on the other side........."
And Tobias died there. He died with a slight smile, even though he was in much pain. Sess'sth looks at the old dead sailor, a tear slides down his cheek. Sess'sth stands up slowly, remembering he is in a battle, and he looks for Kincent as he kills off a few goblins and dark monks.
