Chapter 3: Help

Location: Castle Floret, Cells, Date: June 4, Time: 6:44pm

Fox and Wolf had been arguing the whole time that they were prisoners and Marvin and A.J. had just barely managed to keep them from ripping at each other's throats. A.J. had been sitting in the corner of the cell saying "Why me" over and over to himself. Marvin was just silently sitting in the other corner of the cell. Little did they all know what was happening outside, but soon they would.

Location: Castle Floret, Throne Room, Date: June 4, Time: 6:55pm

King Phillip was hiding in his throne room with the remaining townspeople and castle servants. Shortly after the snake Demons had killed the guards, they had attacked the nearby village of Roaringburn, but fifty of the two hundred villagers that had lived there managed to escape and get to the Throne room. All of the survivors from the castle and village were in the throne room discussing what they should do. "We are all doomed!" one of them yelled, "We are not doomed, we shall make it out of here alive!" the king yelled. "But how? Our weapons have no effect on them and all the warriors are dead!" yelled Steger, the local blacksmith. "Yes what can we do!?" the crowd of people yelled, "I have a solution!" the king yelled to the crowd. The king made his way down the rows of cells in the castle basement, with his two remaining guards following him. The king made his way to the cramped closet- like cell of the prisoners that they had captured earlier that day. King Phillip opened the door of the four prisoners. Fox, Wolf, A.J. and Marvin all immediately looked up upon hearing the door open. "We need your help, those Demons you spoke of are here!" the king said to the four prisoners. "Why should we help you?!" the four prisoners said at once. "Because I will let you go...and give you a nice reward from our treasuries" the king said to them. "Okay, okay we'll help you" the prisoners said at once. "Wonderful come at once! Follow me to the throne room. As they were leaving Marvin noticed in a cell a female rat, he didn't know what came over him but he said, "Let her go" while pointing at the rat. "Beg your pardon? She's a corsair!" one of the guards said. "I said let her go!" Marvin said rising his voice, "Do what he says!" the king wearily said to the guards. The guards unlocked her cell and let her come out. "What's your name my lady" Marvin said to her. "My names Mila, I used to be a corsair" she said to Marvin. Marvin and Mila stood there for a moment looking into each other's eyes. "He's so handsome" Mila thought as she looked into his eyes. "She's so beautiful" Marvin thought while looking in her eye's. Fox, Wolf and A.J. all looked towards each other and then rolled their eyes at Marvin and Mila. After a few moments A.J. broke the silence by saying: "Okay you two that's enough of that crap!" "What do you mean?" Marvin said to A.J. "Never mind, now let's go upstairs!" A.J. said.



A few minutes later they all entered the throne room, "Okay, first of all how many survived the attack?" Fox asked the king. "There are fifty- six of us left, but you four are the only ones that can fight them," the king told them. "Make that five" Mila said as she walked up to them. "Make that six," an otter said as he walked up to them. "What's your name?" Marvin said. "My name is Dammon, and I am the captain of the castle Floret guard" the otter answered. Suddenly a soldier ran in and said to Dammon "Sir! There are at least a hundred of the Demons!" The king then said to the group of six: "Only you six can stop them!" A.J. then said "Do you have a good Blacksmith and forge?". "Well, yes we do, we have one of the finest blacksmiths in all the land his name is Steger. We also have a forge, but it's in the village, and its way to dangerous to go there," replied king Phillip. "Okay, if you want us to save the your kingdom, we're going to need two things." A.J. said. "What is that?" the king asked. A.J. replied, "First of all we need all of the stuff that we had with us, second of all I'm going to need the help of your Blacksmith and his forge". "Okay, I will personally retrieve your stuff that you had with you" The king said to Fox, Wolf, A.J. and Mila. King Phillip left the room, and a few moments later returned carrying the two duffel bags filled with guns belonging to A.J., Mila's dual Cutlass and her Dagger, Fox's Blaster Pistol and sword, Wolf's dual Blaster Pistols and Battle-axe, and Marvin's dual Daggers and Halberd. After they all strapped on their weapons, A.J. said, "Okay, now lets get to that forge!" and off they went to the forge.



Now it's a group of six people against an army of a hundred Demons. The odds are about right.
