Chapter 12: Victory!

⦁ Mongo, here you are! And Scar cut an undead in half as it was about to stab Mongo in the back. It fell at Mongo’s feet, the dagger raised in his hand as it had been ready to strike.

⦁ Oh, wow, that would have hurt I guess! Thank you! ⦁ Don’t mention it! Now let’s make our way near Ivory, we have to kill him to stop this madness! The dead should stay dead! ⦁ But how are we going to do that? Scar, he is surrounded by his army.

⦁ Yes, might be so but you are the most skilled assassin of the realm. I will distract him and you will finish him off!

⦁ At least we can try… but Mongo wasn’t convinced that they would be successful in their demeanor.

⦁ It is the only way I am afraid! But my guts tell me that if we take Ivory out of the picture his entire army will go back to their eternal sleep. ⦁ I hope you are right Scar. If we are wrong and we kill him but his army remains, it will shred us to pieces.

⦁ Trust me, this will work. We just have to deal with Ivory. ⦁ How will you distract him?

⦁ Leave that to me, said Scar, you just make sure you are ready to strike him down when the time comes.

Then Scar left to get Bratty and Mean from where he left them earlier. He found them at the same spot where he left them. ⦁ Scar, you are back! How come you are on this side of the Wall? Asked Bratty.

⦁ And did you find Mongo and Aggy? Asked Mean. ⦁ Yes, they are both safe and sound. We flew with Aggy back to the castle as Miiah needed help after she used up all her energy to save Aggy. Miiah is also safe now, Hizzy helped her.

⦁ Thank goodness! Said Bratty relieved. ⦁ I want the two of you to help me distract Ivory so Mongo can kill him. ⦁ Sure, uttered Mean, anything just to stop all this! ⦁ OK, the three of us will make our way through the undead until we get close enough to him. Shouldn’t be too difficult now as many of the undead have been destroyed already by our army and by Scholar’s trap. Then you two start sending your lovely magic to greet him properly. And while he will be busy defending himself from your spells I will signal to Mongo to finish him off. How is this for a plan? ⦁ Alright, we give it a shot, agreed both mages. And they began sending fireballs and ice shards all over the place making sure they would be noticed by the shaman.

Ivory indeed saw the two mages destroying his army and he got

nervous. His army was diminishing in numbers as they were being killed by Scar’s warriors and these two were making things worse by taking out even more. Things weren’t looking too good for him now.

So he focused his attention towards the two mages standing right outside the Wall. They were keeping the rest of the undead out with their spells. He would show them for messing with him.

A battle of magic spells followed, sparks flying everywhere. It was

like ping-pong. Bratty and Mean looked majestic in their robes, sending fire bolts and lighting towards Ivory and putting up a protection shield whenever he would send magic spells back in response. The night sky was lit up with their magic. It was a sight to remember.

Scar, seeing them engaged in a battle of will and magic, looked for

Mongo to signal him. He saw him up on Aggy flying low right above the battlefield. It was now or never. He made the signal. He saw Mongo take out his golden dagger and aim towards Ivory’s heart. If this wouldn’t work then they would still have to fight the remaining of the undead to save Donn. And everybody was damned tired by now so he hoped it would work. He closed his eyes afraid that Mongo might miss his target. Then he heard a very loud shriek coming from where he knew Ivory was standing so he opened his eyes just in time to see Ivory struck dead, a perfect shot, the dagger straight into his dark heart.

Then it happened: the moment the shaman breathed his last

breath, his army of undead started turning to dust. It was all over, victory was theirs. A well- deserved victory. A victory to be celebrated. The soldiers from their side who died for the rest to live were given a proper burial and would always be remembered. With the threat gone, Bratty and Mean could return to their throne in Loyalis. They were overjoyed at the thought that they could take their kingdom back. It had been a team effort but in the end the good were victorious over the evil.

Mean and Bratty returned to their own kingdom and brought the

remaining people of Dustwither back from the cave they had been hiding in. Potz was also given the rank of general beside Lucas and they were both decorated for their bravery in battle and for having saved the people of Loyalis.

The people of Lir also returned to their lives and everything went

back to normal again.
