The winds started picking up, the army was struggling to keep their feet on the ground, It's like the wind was following them wherever they go.
"We must reach there before the moon worshippers do, I'm leaving anyone who gets lost!" a former lady which had a skull as a head exclaimed to her army. The winds were REALLY picking up closer they got to there.
A few cave beetles were already flying off to the sky, the bones of the skeletons were starting to crack, Nyx worried she could lose half of her troops before arriving at the Fae Pyramid.
"There it is..."
At The Pyramid
"I told you for the last time little fairy, we cannot grant you invisibility powers!" The old lady covered in leaves exclaimed.
"But I already proved I am capable enough to have it... Please just let me have it." The tiny fairy replied.
"I already know you're great with it..."
Knock Knock
"My worries is that you will use it to prank your sister, again." She leaned back against her rock chair.
"No, I won't, I pro- You can enter Diana." The little fairy recognized her sister from the way she knocked the door.
"Hello, Grand Quésse Marlin." Diana bowed down, then took a seat beside the window.
"Oh! We were just talking about how beatiful the weather is." The lady took a sip of her yellow wine.
"Just got back from magic training, extremely tired right now. Can I lie down here a little bit?" Diana asked.
"How dare you speak like that to your-" The purple eyed lady asked in shock, noticing something in her student's words.
"Diana... Your last magic training was 3 hours ago, and you never really came to that too, what's with the sudden interest?"
"Oh?" The girl suddenly shape-shifted into a giant reaper, or reverted back into it's original form. It's roaring shook the entire room.
"Come on! You gotta give me invisibility right now." The fairy exclaimed, shocked.
"UGH!" Diana shouted unintentionally, taking the hit of a dead Viking.
dozens of troops were breaking down the main entrance to the Pyramid, troops capable of bending physics were already inside.
All of the fae troops were in other places, some in The Cathedral, some in The Grand House. Thankfully the Fae Trickster was capable enough to fight them.
She got her wand in 6487, 80 years ago. She found it stuck in a enchanted stump, waiting to be pulled out. She thought it wasn't magical the first time she used it, but it somehow gained magic once The Sun Goddess did her sacrifice. Weird.
4 vikings surrounded her while she was busy fending off an attacker from one of her colleagues.
The other student made a run for it, not even looking back once.
Diana sighed, and left a glitter bomb on the ground, then blinked away, leaving behind a immobile decoy... She needed a way to control it somehow.
The 4 vikings got knocked back, all of them landing on spikes.
crack crack SMASH
The door finally gave up, thousands of dark troops appearing in it's place.
"Oh crap..." The Trickster climbed a few leaves, going to the upper floor. One of her friends managed to land a hit on a skeleton with red robes with acid color on her lower body.
"Rise!" It transformed its little frames into a huge giant, one of the masters cast a "fade from existence" spell to it, which was replied with another former Viking jumping and tanking the hit, thus blinking away from existence.
The caster teleported away, probably to some other place safe.
Diana could not believe people were running away so easily, she thought people were more loyal to their ancestors than this.
"Silly... Chances are he teleported to a place overrun by my men."
The Fae casted a magic ball to it, Nyx responded with magic of her own, destroying the ball.
"The Tomb Raiser" picked a purple energy which was floating around it's body, casting another skeleton down from the ground.
Diana vaulted over to the side, shooting another ball along the process. The Giant tanked the blow instead of the woman.
SMACK
The Trickster blinked away at the last second, the creature obliterating her decoy instead. She appeared behind the creature, and directly in front of the originator of it.
She created 3 staves identical to her's shooting rapid projectiles at all the threats, this was her favorite trick.
"Ha!"
"This is nothing!" Nyx exclaimed. The screams of the remaining survivors could be heard from here, a few vikings have notices the battle and were interrupting it.
The staves have killed the golem, it crumbled to pieces, each piece shining off a purple aura, then dissipating.
Nyx had already another fleet of skeletons to turn into another golem, each skeleton got pulled into one piece as the beast was unleashed once again.
Diana got the 3 vikings pretty easily... By dodging and casting magic balls.
She turned her face towards the danger while the danger smashed it's shoulder against her, flinging her enough to break multiple walls.
The Fae was out for a couple of seconds, the golem and Nyx already beside her when she woke up.
She tried to reach out for her wand, but it was too far to be taken from here. Both of them were getting closer, Diana was praying something would save her right now.
2 identical distant sounds from above distracted both of them at once...
"You just had to come now!" Nyx quickly transformed into a visible transparent ghost, and tried to roll over to the side, but it was too late.
2 Shadow giants placed exactly right to hit The Tomb Raiser and the golem, appeared from a portal and landed on them, breaking the floor along the process.
Diana quickly stood up, and grabbed her wand, checking what happened to the victims instead of fleeing.
The skeleton was mostly fine, her ghost form probably protected her from the harsh impact... Same could not be said for the golem.
The Fae broke a piece of the giant glass, that was her ticket out of here.
"Enough of this!" The unlife smashed her wand on the floor as hard as possible, the wand cracking a little.
Starting from the wand, a dark matter was spreading through the floor like crazy, transforming anything it comes into contact to her command.
Diana used the stairs instead of jumping down, not wanting to get caught in it.
A few of her friends were already transformed, pale skin and purple eyes. The Fae looked at them in shock, not long before something grabbed her from behind.
"Come on, we gotta go!" The voice of her miniscule sister cheered her up a little, though she was not visible.
"Where are you? Who is grabbing me?"
"The Quésse gave me the power of invisibility before she got infected by that dark thing spreading through the floor and walls."
The good thing about her sister was that she was almost as strong as herself, which was a good thing sometimes.
They came across other infected people and a giant spider, The Trickster casted her staves and took cover. After a few seconds, the path was clear.
The floor crumbled just as she was about to step on it, she grabbed her sister and put her in her pocket.
She suddenly remembered about the window she was gonna jump out of, crap!
The newly open hole in the floor showed a shadow giant and a fox with a spear fighting the skeleton girl and her golem, she blinked under there, and hit the Tomb Raiser along the way with her wand. She looked back one more time to see the fox tackling down the woman.
Once outside...
"Damn... That was rough." The girl exclaimed, wiping her pink sweat from her neck.
"What do we do now?" Diana asked, grabbing a mushroom that was on the floor.
"Well... Marlin told me all our other places to stay were overrun, and that, this one was the last one standing."
"Well, not now."
"The only other place that isn't in the Fae Wilds is the home of a group of Knights I met 2 weeks ago, their commander seemed nice enough, invited us to stay anytime."
"Let's go then." Diana said, putting her wand in her magic pocket.
