Robin was woken up by Claire snuggling closer to him. "Big brother I'm scared." She whispered.
"Of what my sweet, Ash might be scary looking but like myself he is bound by his word." Robin started. Until he looked outside of the tent and found that they were surrounded by goblins. 'Damn how did they manage to surround us without me or Ash knowing about them. On the plus side it looks like they haven't looked in side yet or we would be in big trouble.' Robin thought as he quietly pulled one of his daggers from its sheath. Carefully he moved to the front of the tent making sure to stay as quiet as possible and to keep himself between the entrance and Claire.
"Alright we have them surrounded lets get them tied up and ready for dinner." One of the goblins said as they all readied their weapons to charge the tents. Robin took a deep breath and waited until the last possible second before using his glamor to bring the wooden poles of the tent back to life with three foot long spikes. Shortly after the first few were run through Robin rushed out of the tent and almost collided with Ash who was fending off another five with his sword.
"Well this is a fun wake up call, don't you think Ice boy." Robin said as he managed to get himself back to back with Ash.
"Shut up Goodfellow I don't know how yet but this is all your fault again." Ash said as he dropped another goblin just to have two more take its place. They continued to fight until a scream from Robin's tent caught both of their attentions.
"Put me down." Claire said as she struggled to get out of the goblins grip.
"Hey boss what's this it don't look like one of them elf thing." The goblin holding her said to the one goblin who had not joined the battle. "Can we still eat it." He continued. Fear spread across Claire face as when the boss goblin nodded.
"Put her down now goblin." Robin growled as he used his glamor on the trees to have the branches pull Claire from the goblin's grip and keep her safe high in the tree.
"Robin, tell me you have some kind of plan to get us out of this mess." Ash said as he dropped another goblin, only to again have more take its place. The fighting continued for another ten minutes before Robin thought of an idea.
"Ash we need to mix our powers together." Robin said as he held a small fire ball in his hand turning to Ash.
"This is a bad idea but at least it's a plan." Ash replied as he too started gather ice crystals in his hand and around the blade of his sword. The two of them stood side by side. Suddenly the wind began to swirl around them creating a storm of fire and ice around both boys. After a few moments the two of them released the storm killing the remaining goblins, leaving only small piles of frozen ashes.
"Well that was fun lets not do that again." Robin said as he used the last bit of his strength to bring Claire down out of the tree. "Are you ok Claire?" He asked as he hit his knees.
"Yes I'm ok big brother are you alright?" Claire asked as she ran over to him. After confirming that he was indeed ok she went over to checked on Ash.
"I'm ok little one." Ash said, flashing a quick reassuring smile.
"Um Ash we have a small problem. That storm we unleashed destroyed all of our stuff." Robin said looking around before he laid down on his back to stare up at the sky.
"You mean everything?" Ash asked as he laid on his back closing his eyes. The three of them laid in what remains of the camp site and tried to work on a plan about what to do next, now that all the supplies they had were destroyed.
"Well both of you are too tired to much of anything right now, I have some magic and I do know on spell that can hide all three of us until you two can move again." Claire said as she stood up and began to cast the spell that would hide them until morning. After casting the spell Claire walked over to Robin and laid beside him with her head on his chest.
"So it's true Summer Fea really are great with children." Ash laughed with a yawn before drifting off to sleep.
'What now with no way to bargain for more supplies trying to find the Wolf is going to be a lot harder. Oh well it's not the first time I have been in a tight spot before.' Robin thought as he too drifted off to sleep.
