Nuada was tired but refused to give up he killed many soldiers who tried to attack him
wink threw many humans off the tower into their death as the dragons scooped them up and starting feasting upon their flesh.
Other Elf soldiers were shooting burning arrows at the humans many tried to climb up the tower with ropes.
The Elves aimed their bows at them and fired one arrow hit one in the stomach letting them burn alive
many soldiers who caught flame jumped in to a river an others were rolling on the ground trying to make the fire out but it didn't it only made the burning alot worser.
Nuada rushed toward a group soldiers one tried to hit him but nuada dodged it he ducked and stabbed him in the stomach.
he pulled his sword out from the corpse.
Nuada squeezed his eyes shut and touched his temple his sister she was talking to him in his mind.
"Brother"! He heard Nuala speak.
"I need a clear head Nuala! I told you not to contact me or I'll Lose focus'! Nuada said.
But for a second he felt that the connection with his Sister faded but then it came back hearing the horrible news.
"They Took her! The humans have her!" Nuada heard his sisters voice echo in his mind.
Nuada froze in place large tears rolled down his face.
"How? How did they find the hideout"? "Why didn't anyone stop them"? Nuada shouted.
But Nuala no longer answered.
Nuada felt so much pain in his heart His worst nightmare became reality. He failed to protect his Queen And now she's paying the price for his sorrow formed into a blind gritted his teeth he felt his blood boiling in his body.
Nuada saw a few humans in the corner of his eye he became mad he ran towards them and killed many of them brutally.
six soldiers charged towards nuada
he blocked a another attack he swished his sword around
and cuts the man's throat.
The soldier grabbed his throat there was blood coming out of his mouth
another one tried to hit nuada with a spiked Bat
Nuada stabbed his sword trough the mouth making the tip of his sword
come out in the back of the human's head.
Nuada panted his chest heaved up and down they were all dead piled up in a large puddle
many humans retreated and Tried to flee when Wink came after them.
But not all escaped from the tower more than the half were hit by flaming arrows there was only a few of them left
wink grabbed a soldier and crushed is skull with is metal hand.
"wink we must go"! He heard Nuada shout.
"What ? what do you mean ? We are close to victory"! Wink roared back.
"It's Celia the humans found her"!
Wink felt his stomach tightened. He never liked Cecelia very much but the news struck him hard.
Nuada ran towards Lugh who was busy barricade the door so that the humans can't get up The stairs.
"Lugh! the Humans got our Queen I must rescue her".! Nuada said.
"Oh No" Lugh said in disbelief but recovered from the stunned feeling all over his spine
"We will come with you sire! You can't take them on your own"! Lugh and Centa claimed.
"No! stay here must keep fighting we can't let them win! Stay here and lead my court into Victory. I'll come back as soon as I can".
Nuada and wink fought their way out. leaving the battle field with the help of Lugh and Centa to make sure Wink and Nuada can leave without getting killed in the progress.
Lugh cupped his hands near his face and mimicked a dragon roar. One dragon heard it and flied towards Lugh And helped Nuada up.
"The dragon can't carry my weight Sire I'll travel on foot hopefully I can track our Queens scent now hurry"!
The dragon hovered above the ground and glided away from the battle tower. Nuada looked behind him.
He could hear the clinging sound of his mens swords. And the tower slowly disappeared in the mist.
Nuada felt horrible for leaving his mem behind but he has no choice. He couldn't let her die.
Nuada caught sight of Wink sprinting through the forest From above Wink sprinted almost just as fast as the dragon..
"Why didn't she followed one single order? Doesn't she give a damn about me"? Nuada thought. "Why did she had to do this"?
"Damn the human race..damn them all". Nuada cried, He couldn't make the same mistake his Father made he will be in time to save her.
The hide out came in sight and Nuada didn't wait until the dragon landed and jumped off the dragons back from a large height. But didn't feel the pain when he landed on his feet.
Nuala sat on a rock crying waiting for her Brother.
"Nuala"! Nuada called out to her.
Nuala heard that and ran towards her Brother.
She clung onto him Letting all her emotions free Brother "they have beaten her and dragged her away"! Nuala wept.
"Nuala were is she"? Nuada spoke grabbing her shoulders. "Were did they go! WHERE!" Nuada said desperately.
"I..I.. Don't know! They went to this direction" Nuala pointed to her right." Towards the shore"!
Nuada was horrified and knew what that humans are about to do to her Wink arrived at the scene grunting and Nuada called him to his side.
"We must follow the footsteps Hurry"!
"Nuala head back to my Fathers castle and keep the children safe!" Nuada ordered.
Nuala nodded a yes.
"Save her Brother" Nuala said before running inside to get the children. She hopes that They won't run into any humans before Nuada saved his Queen.
"Im picking up her scent Sire they haven't harmed her yet! maybe we can take them down before It's too late".
Nuada said nothing he couldn't find it in him to speak the fact that his Queen in still in the hands of his enemy made his blood turn cold he was fearing the worst.
When Nuada looked into Nuala's eyes their mind became one for a moment and knew Cecelia is carrying his son. Now he has to save two family members instead of 1.
"Please don't let her die" Nuada pleaded to the Gods." Please let me save her in time"!
"Stay strong darling Im on my way"!
The humans still dragged a battered Queen but stopped when they found the right place to dispose of her and claim whole Tuatha De Danann before Shreng succeed to kill Balor.
They cut the rope and Cecelia tried to use the last strength she has to escape but the humans held her arm firmly they took her near the Shore forcing her on her knees
Cecelia was trembling in pain staring blankly to the horizon Not saying a word.
"Great view isn't it sweet pea"? Bres said close to hear ear.
"It will only be a short matter of time and you will be slammed into the ground" Cecelia said.
"Killing me off will be the biggest mistake of your life creep".
"Oh really"? "you are in no position to make Threats monster"!
"men! lets teach her a lesson" Bres looked at his soldiers and they pushed her face down on the ground.
and started to beat her many kicked her in the face they broke her nose
and the stepped on her head the brutal assault seemed endless but she didn't
make a sound. one of the soldiers grabbed a whip he walked towards her flogging her.
Cecelia gritted her teeth as the whip hits her back it burned she could feel the pain through the fabric of her dress her she was badly wounded her back bleeds heavily.
Cecelia turned to her side protecting her head from any further assaults.
Bres smirked and kicked her hard against her stomach. Cecelia's eyes grew big she could feel the small life form inside her die.
"Nooo"! Cecelia breathed clutching her stomach and felt the warmth of the blood flushing down her leg.
Bres looked at the Sea and it was time to move on so that they can continue to take over more area's of Elf land.
"Men ! stop with wat you are doing"! Bres ordered.
all the soldiers looked up
"why"? They all wondered.
"Look at the sea it is rising it's almost flood".
Bres grabbed Cecelia at her collar and held her up.
"My dear it's time to deliver you from your suffering".
the Humans dragged her towards the water and chained her to a large rock that poked out of the water.
Cecelia collected herself and tried not to show any fear. She didn't scream nor cry she didn't beg for her life And it disappointed her tormentors very much.
'Listen Queen of Bethmoora" Bres spoke up. "This doesn't have to end like this".
"You can always surrender to us and give us the elf kingdom". "Give it to us and we might let you live". Bres said holding her chin up
Cecelia looked at him she cleared her throat and spit in his face.
he wiped his face and was about to hit her but restrained himself.
"have it your way then".
"the hell with you"!
they walked away and left her by herself to die.
the sea started to rise the water to her midriff it became higher
The water has rised to her neck and Cecelia tried to gasp for air and almost went under water.
The salty water made her injuries sting harshly and tried to break free from the chains but couldn't.
Cecelia blinked her eyes and no longer struggled. She accepted that she can't be saved She got her final vision as the water rises further.
Cecelia could see Glimpses of Tir Na Nog and saw Miach her Father standing in the large Green grass field waiting for her.
He's the only human who was pure enough to enter the heavenly kingdom.
The Gods of the sea made their presence known during Cecelia's final hour she could feel their holy presence taking her pain away.
they appeared in front of her surrounded in a bright light.
But Cecelia couldn't go yet she wanted to see Nuada one last time and prayed to the Gods to grand her wish.
To say Goodbye To Nuada before her soul departs from the mortal world.
