Marol stepped inside the meeting room. As he stepped inside, he could feel the commotion calming down, and the air thickening with anticipation. What was a lively place just moments ago had changed. What remained was a room full of people who was going to war.

Everybody he knew, had changed. Faces that were once filled with smiles and happiness had been altered greatly by the impending war. Now, all that faced him was grim sheets of expressions, wiped of all former glory. Sid, the blacksmith was clenching his enormous hammer with his gigantic hands of his. Clenching, unclenching. As Marol approached him, he repeated the pattern even more. That's because the last member has arrived.

" Yes, I see you have finally come. There is no more time for words. Let us discuss."

Captain Tail-Hawk stood up, towering all over the others. He was clad in his traditional green-blue war cloak which means he was serious. Which usually means " Good luck ". For the enemies , that is. They need it.

Marol looked around. There were 12 people in his group, consisting of 3 paladins, 3 champions , 3 high priestess , two sub-captains and Captain Tail- Hawk himself. Their faces and bodies tells stories of hard work, determination and sacrifice. He himself was a sub-captain. That was the responsibility that had been given to him. He would honor it and stand by it till the end.

The group traveled. Their mission was clear and their faith steadfast. They were to directly hit out at the main enemy, the Maya that sparked all of this. If they succeed, then the war would be over as fast as it begun. If they failed, well, there will always be others.

In a matter of days, they have located it. Sending his falcon out to scout, the captain made clear a fact to the group.

" It is alone."

" Should we attack it? Its our best chance to get rid of it, isn't it?"

"No… even it is alone…, we combined are not a match for it…besides I don't want to sacrifice anyone."

"Captain…"

Though it may be unspoken, they all know that their mission must be completed. Even if they could not succeed in killing that monster, they might slow down its approach. They will slow it down.

Looking at each other, they nodded. There was no more need for words, they knew what each was thinking.

Through the glaring afternoon sun, they could single the lone shadow in the middle of the large clearing.

With that, the group of warriors proceeded to meet their destiny.
