*gazes at the horizon* the horde is on its way they have re-grouped themselves better be ready" Lancelot says while drawing his sword. The other men nod and stand ready as the army of the drow storm downhill in order to destroy the last resistance. Zhepphyr takes a deep breath and then blows out a huge flame "*laughs* ahh, there toasted Drow extra crispy!!!" "*sticks out tongue* yechh, enjoy that meal alone my friend!!!" Gonfindle says while slaughtering a few enemies. The four knights waited 'till the entire enemy was at the field before calling their four elements to aide them in the battle. "*shouts* goodness this is way out of line!!!" "*My son, you've never seen them fight, they were the reason why this castle was safe in the past, 'till the counsil had made that foolish decision.!!!" Lancelot shouted back as both men saw the awsome powers of the Knights at work. "*snorts* this is going to be a short fight and I can't be unhappy about it." Zhepphyr says before blowing out another flame. "*sighes* neither do I, I want to be with my beloved one and my son.." Gonfindle speaks while using his bow. Yet short before the end of the battle a drow spearman breaks trough the defencelines and throws his spear. "*feels a burning pain as the spear enters his body* AAhhhrrrgh!!!" "*shouts* father!!!!!" Gonfindle speeds towards Lancelot who now lays upon the ground. "*falls onto knees* Father!!! father no..." "*caughs up blood* s...son, I'm done for it...no, listen to me...take care of your child and love..." "*pulls the weapon out* father don't say such foolish words I'll make you better" Gonfindle says while pressing his hand upon the wound. Lancelot however caughs again and shakes his head "I...know when...my time has come.....and that is now....*gasps* don't worry, I had a good life....and I was able to see my grandchild....I'm thankfull for that.....*gasps and caughs* take good care of them both...." Lancelot then closes his eyes and dies. Gonfindle begins to cry while holding his father. Zhepphyr sighes and then gazes at the dead Drow. "We have won but the price was too high...*sighes* I'm sorry Gonfindle..." "*wipes tears away* no need to be sorry for, better get the women and children out of the maze the coast is clear now." Gonfindle speaks with a raspy voice. A little later I'm able to embrace Gonfindle and cry along with him while holding Shea close. "*kisses him* I'm so sorry my heart...ow love of mine..." I say while embracing him again. "*wipes tears away* don't worry, I'll be fine, come we have to get back to the village, we might find more dead, like Uther for example..." Gonfindle says back. Zhepphyr picks up the body of Lancelot and carries it with great respect as we leave the remains of the castle. Llana walks next to me and shivers while holding her small son close to her. "I'm afraid that I'm a widow now...Uther hasn't returned..." "*sighes* I can't give you comfort, for I'd be a liar..." I say while holding Shea. Llana nods and walks further in silence and scared of what we might find as we reach the fields of Dun Natal. "*looks at the horizon* this can't be...my goodness..." Zhepphyr whispers "*looks at him* what is it? What do you see?" Gonfindle asks before reaching the top of the hill. "*wide eyes* oh lord what a massacre...*sees a few men* Uther!!!" Gonfindle shouts while running off the hill in order to help his wounded friend. "*sighes* I'll be fine thank goodness that the women are safe, it is just a scratch. We had defeated the first wave, but we had to deal with a second wave too...*notices Lancelots body* I'm sorry for the loss of your father..." "*helps Uther to sit down* he had fought like a devil, and...guess what..." "Gonfindle...Isilheledh has...a baby? Your baby? I didn't knew she was pregnant..." Uther says when he notices me along with Shea. I approach him and show Shea "this is Shea, Gonfindles son, I brought him onto the world with Zhepphyrs help..." I explain. "*wide eyes* now you need to tell me everything...for I'm curious...but first let us give our fallen friends and relatives a propper funeral..." Uther says while gazing at Lancelots body. Only a little later a huge funeralpyre burns while the villagers of Dun Natal begin to repair their houses. The enemy was defeated, yet the price was high. Uther notices the Four Knights and says "you're welcome to stay at my castle, or here in Dun Natal, which begins to be a special town. Zhepphyr, for you we can build a barn where you can sleep." "*laughs* if i shrink a bit to a smaller size, the barn won't have to be uuge, or else Dun Natal will be the only village with a barn the size of three castles." Zhepphyr notices causing the four knights to laugh too. "We'll stay, if we're allowed to build a house of our own, and if we can advice the town keeper to build a wall of stone around the village..." "*wide eyes* the town keeper, geesh...that was...my father..." Gonfindle notices. Uther gazes at him and says "then you're the keeper now...I don't think the rest of the town would mind..." "*scratches head* well alright then but the minute I'm not good enough I'll organize elections for another town keeper..." "that is a deal...now come this town needs some better houses than wood alone..." Uther says before guiding Gonfindle to the remains of the town hall.
