Chapter 9: To battle!

Scar took his favorite weapon, a sharp sword which he had

inherited from his father and prepared himself for battle but first of all he was prepared to defend his beautiful young wife, Miiah. Miiah too was ready to accompany Scar on the battlefield and heal whoever needed her. Of course she would keep an eye on

her husband in the first place to make sure he was alright. Scar knew he could count on her to watch his back and this gave him a feeling of confidence. They were inseparable, together till the end, be it a victorious one or death. They would either walk together free out of this confrontation or death would bring them freedom. Either way they would be together. Neither could live without the other.

- Are you afraid my darling? Asked Scar looking straight into Miiah's dark beautiful eyes.

- Never as long as I have you by my side! She answered bravely. Now let's go out there and show them what we are made of!- This is one hell of a lady, Scar! Said Mean who admired Miiah for her brave and honest soul. Then he went straight to Bratty who was standing by the window and kissed her full of passion just as she was about to say something. She wanted to protest at first but then she thought better and kissed him back.- So are you two finally together? Asked Miiah at seeing the two kiss.

- I don’t know, answered Bratty. First time he dares kiss me, ha- ha! 34

- Second, but you are right, first time I kissed you, you were asleep…and I only kissed your cheek, thought Mean to himself. So she wanted me to kiss her…and out loud he heard himself say:- Yes, we are together. Will you marry me Bratty?- Oh my god, you needed a war at the doors and possible death to make you propose to me! And she laughed with him this time, not at him. Then it was her turn to kiss him. They were lost in the moment, forgetting about everything else even if for a brief moment.

- Yes, I will marry you!

Miiah started to cry with joy as she loved her friend, she cared so much for Bratty.

- Well, said Scar, it looks like we will have a wedding after this war

is over. All the more reason to send these rascals back to where they came from! To battle!

They exited the castle into the courtyard where the main battle had already moved. The dragon hadn’t entered the courtyard yet but it was close.

Scar started slashing right and left while Miiah was attending the wounded from their ranks. Mean and Bratty unleashed fire and ice upon the enemies bringing down as many as they could. Olekson too was fighting by their side. Even the two scouts, Sneak and Davyn had joined the battle as it was a fierce fight and the king needed everyone in order to defeat Dova and defend his people, defend Donn.

Everyone who had two good hands and legs was there on the

battlefield. Everyone counted and they were all fighting as a single entity, one goal in mind: defending Donn and defeating Dova and his dragon. Noah the king's treasurer had also joined, fighting next to Olekson. Adi's older brother, Blaryn, was also fighting to fend off the enemies. Scar was proud to be their king and they were happy to have him as ruler.

The walls surrounding the castle courtyard started to crumble

as Aggy kept breathing fire at it so the rest of the mercenaries could join the main fight. Dova was behind Jerno and Aggy and he felt his heart jumping out of his chest with emotion and expectation. He was so close to victory he could almost taste it. He would soon rule over Donn too and he was intending to take Scar and Miiah as his prisoners. He couldn’t conceive defeat. He had to be victorious. He had to.

Og and Bris were also fighting at the head of the

mercenaries. They were inside the courtyard fighting side by side when Mean saw them yelling and encouraging the mercenaries to attack. So the smartest thing to do was to shut them up. He focused and sent a huge fireball which killed them both at the same time, taking a few of the mercenaries along. But instead of

making them back up a little, it only made the mercenaries attack more ferociously. Bratty was sending ice shards towards them. Everyone was fighting by his own means. It was a bloody sight. Corps were lying everywhere from both sides. It was as bad as it looked.

The smoldering walls surrounding the castle were giving in.

It wouldn’t take long now till they would crumble to the ground completely thus making way for the rest of Dova's army and his dragon.
