All was quiet at the Oaklore Keep. The guards were standing upon the castle top, peering down in silence. Then, out of the horizon, came several small figures. It was what they were waiting for. Several slime blobs and skeletons were marching towards the Keep, their weapons raised and ready to attack.
"Shlop. Humans! Surrender your keep to the slimes! Slopk." One large slime cried out, clearly showing he was the leader of the army.
"Ehm, and Undead…" A skeleton quickly added.
"Flurp. The day of the Slimes has come! Glorp"
Sir Vivor turned to his Captain from the Castle. "Instructions Captain?"
Sir Render watched the army below carefully. "It's just a slime, quite easy to beat. Send the archers."
"Yes sir!" cried Sir Vivor and Sir Valence.
Several arrows suddenly flew down and hit the Slimes. Before the Knights could cheer, the arrows slowly dissolved within the Slimes.
"Something's wrong Sir! Our attacks aren't having any effects!" Sir Vivor panicked.
Sir Render bit his lip in thought. "Reinforce the doors!"
"Victory is ours! Slimes…!" The Slime Boss cried.
"… and Undead…" the skeleton added again.
"ATTAAAAAACK!!"
WWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BOOOM!!
The Slime Boss was suddenly splat all across Oaklore Keep's walls.
Sir Render rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "What happened? Who dropped the bomb?"
"In the sky sir!" Sir Vivor yelled.
"Is it a bird? Is it a glider?"
Sir Valence peered up in confusion. "It's…Wait, what the heck is that?"
The Slimes yelled. "RUUUUUN!!"
"THAT WAS GREAT!"
I hit the air in triumph. The wind whizzed past me, almost throwing me off as I grinned.
That's right, I dropped the bomb. While Trinity was keeping the dragon flying, I lit a light bomb and threw them down upon the unexpecting army.
"Saki!" Trinity cried above the roar of the dragon. "You will need to be careful on how many you drop! We only have a valuable few, they can't be wasted!"
"Then what's your plan?!" I yelled back, picking up another bomb.
"Throw one at a time! Any monsters caught in the radius will die! And any monsters caught within the blast of the monsters will also die!"
"How many bombs do we have?!"
"20!"
I growled. On a large dragon like this, and it can only manage - bombs?!
"Quickly!" cried Trinity. "Before they get away!"
"They won't get away!" I scowled, throwing down a bomb upon the running army. One by one, the army was blown in smithereens.
I tightened my fist as the numbers were reducing quickly, causing it to became harder and harder to get them all.
With only one bomb left I peered across the side of the dragon. There was 6 monsters left. I watched them closely while they ran around, and waited for the moment when they would all be running into each other.
WWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BOOOOOM! SPLAT!
"YEAH!!" The Knights cheered, waving their arms in the air.
"ALRIGHT!" I yelled, hitting the air again. "TAKE THAT YOU UGLY LITTLE CREATURES!"
"WE DID IT!" Trinity screamed happily as the dragon slowly came to rest upon the ground.
"Well done girls!" Sir Baumbard cheered as he open the Keep's gates to greet us. "You did marvellous!"
"We did more than that!" I yelled as I slid down the dragon's back and landed upon the ground. "We saved the Keep!"
"Yes you did." Sir Baumbard said, clapping me and Trinity on the back as she landed beside him. "You two make a great team."
We both raised our eyebrows and stared at him. "I work alone." We both said.
"…"
"Shame," said Sir Baumbard. "The Keep would love to have you both here."
"What did I miss?"
We all turned to see Captain Rolith heading towards us.
"Back from your holiday I see?" Sir Baumbard greeted him. "You missed quite a show. Trinity and Saki both saved the Keep together."
"Saki is here?"
I stepped out from beside Sir Baumbard and crossed my arms. "Yeah, but I'm not staying?"
"You know each other?" Trinity smirked glancing at us both.
"How could I not know her?" Captain Rolith said with a smirk. "She sticks out like a giant Sneevil would."
I huffed and turned my back on him. Stupid loud mouth blonde jerk.
Trinity laughed. "That's cute!"
"What is?" I snapped.
"Unspoken attraction," she giggled while Sir Baumbard chuckled.
Both me and the jerk turned slightly red and turned away from them. "Don't be stupid."
"Come on now," Sir Baumbard said throwing an arm around each of us. "Now we're all here, we can all get to cleaning up!"
"…" I glanced around at the slime covered walls, to the slime covered trees. "Err… Love to, but I'm busy."
I pulled on my bag with the dragon egg, which Sir Baumbard was looking after, and grinned. "I'm on my own mission. See you around!"
And with that, I ran off towards FalconReach, waving behind me as I went.
