The Battle of Sengann Fortress

by Jet556

To rescue a comely damsel and a fair lassie, the Evabon warriors of Wilusa march to Sengann Fortress to do battle with the bad heralds of Mumm-Ra and the primitive Labinnac hordes they command. To the surprise of all, the charms of Mumm-Ra will have no power at Sengann. A greater power is at Sengann. The power of the light to counter Mumm-Ra's darkness: the power of Mumm-Rana.

Welcome everyone. This story arc concludes here. Enjoy and review.

Planning for the Attack

Many Evabon amassed not far from Sengann Fortess. Gard was there, Zuvowang the Champion and Dalv the Destroyer too. Kernunnos had followed Dalv, Arnuwanda as well and Kanute! Llud and Balor had followed Gard even if Gard had insisted that the latter stay in Wilusa. The suitors of Henti had come, many of the Zuvowangidae had come the Evabon were myriad!

"Henti and Brigid are there!" cried Zuvowang. "I say we should just attack now!"

Gard shook his head. He did not like the idea. "No, we need a plan and thankfully I have planned a way in."

"Is that why you had us build ladders?" asked Dalv.

Gard nodded. "In deed it is. As Kernunnos informed us there are two gates. We'll have to get through the first gate from the inside, hence the ladders. As for the second gate a battering ram will be needed."

"But the ram isn't even finished!" yelled Zuvowang. He was impatient. He wanted to rescue Henti and Brigid and this planning and waiting wasn't something he wanted to do.

"Not yet but it should be once we get to the second gate. With Mumm-Ra's heralds in there we'll be in for quite the fight, add the number of Labinnac to that… I'd say the ram will indeed be ready once we get to the second gate."

"Gard!" Balor called out to Gard and pointed at the distant fortress. Gard came running over and Balor pointed at a statue above the first gate. "What is that? It is made by Evabon hands yet it does not show an Evabon. Is it animal? Or is it one of those Berbil things the ThunderCats have told us of?"

Gard looked long and hard as people walked over to join in the speculation. It was not Evabon and yet it looked Evabon but Gard believed that since that statue was made by Evabon hands it would have been made to look Evabon. Had it been made by cat hands it would have looked like a cat and yet Gard felt a feeling of the complete opposite to the time he had met Mumm-Ra. All that Gard could tell was the figure was female. What was she? Who was she?

"Whatever it is we have a figure to look over us besides the spirits and the Celestials." Gard turned to everyone and held his axe aloft. "Evabon! Lets show our breeding!" There was a great cheer and everyone began the march to Sengann. If there were to die, they would die heroically.
