Chapter 19: The Tides Turn
The relatively large fighting force that had held back the army of undead had begun dwindling in the last few months of battle, and things were looking bleak. Both Spyro and Cynder led the charge full force, and had succeeded many a time, but for each victory there was a loss. More loss than gain eventually drove the refugees and army back into the inner city of Warfang.
Spyro and Cynder lead small portions of the army despite still being kids, and the Guardians had also provided more than enough help from time to time. Things began to look bleak in the last two months of the war, and the army was loosing more territory by the day.
Then, when things began take an even greater turn for the worst, a band of heroes appeared, and many rumored that the male human who had disappeared before the war had returned. They where not exactly wrong.
The band of heroes pushed the undead army back significantly, but had worked independently from the resistance. Each day passed, more footing was gained. Yet still none knew the heroes besides rumors and speculation.
One day the band had so happened up in a patrol in danger in the more dangerous parts of the city, and the band finally became reality.
The band of six where described as a five human men, and a short stout skeleton. The skeleton wore a blue hoodie with black and white shorts that seemed like pants due to his stature, and pink slippers.
The first of the human men had white hair, wore a weathered black cloth trench coat, black pants along with brown leather gauntlets and boots. He also carried a black and white Damascus sword, and a worn scythe that could be connected to the staff. The second was a black haired man with blue eyes, and wore black clothing, but he wielded a strange magic that glowed with crystals. The third was a tall muscular man wearing black pants and a leather jacket and wielded a great sword and shield.
The fourth was a relatively tall man with lanky stature, and wielded what the humans described as a gun. The fifth was a tall and slender man wearing black butler attire. He wielded daggers and a spear.
The resistance eventually saw the group in action, full detailed descriptions of the battle were absolutely astonishing, and the resistance was happy as a whole to have them on their side.
Soon enough the resistance made contact with the group, and found that the white haired man was indeed the one who had disappeared months earlier. The group was asked to join the resistance ranks, but refused in order to work more efficiently.
The war was beginning to seem almost hopeful.
