Stan looked out the window at the gates of Fablehaven. In the distance an army of black splotches appeared, Growing larger by the minute. There were tall blotches, huge, massive ones, and the closer they got Seth could see more behind them. "Quick! we all need to prepare for battle, Seth and Gavin, get armor and weapons for you, Kendra, and Bracken. Dale and Warren, try to convince some creatures of Fablehaven to assist us." Stan gave orders to his wife and sent everyone off. He position himself by the window to warn his family when the army approached.
Good thing Seth was a fast runner, Kendra was glad he walked in on her and Bracken, not Gavin. She didn't want Gavin to see her kissing Bracken. They imminently stopped when Seth walked in, and followed him to the weapons room. They got light armor. Kendra got a strudy bow, some arrows, and a dagger strapped to her calf. Bracken had a heavy sword and a spear strapped to his back. Seth had Vasilis, which he could keep now thanks to Bracken negotiating with the singing sisters, he also had a knife in his boot. Gavin had his own massive dagger and a crossbow slung over his shoulder. Dale and Warren returned with some nymphs, satyrs, fairies, and a few angry elves. They got armor and weapons for all of them. Seth was strapping a chest plate on when his Grandfather yelled "Hurry, set our forces in front of the gate, try to prevent them from entering." When the team exited the house they were stunded by all of the enemy forces. There were soldiers, cyclopes, giants, griffins, demons, zombies, a nemean lion, even a chimera. They positioned themselves far in front of the gate, and stood with their heads held high. Kendra raised her bow, she shot a zombie in the first row. It collapsed to a pile of flesh and bones, it didn't get up. She shot another, an arrow flew back in her direction and Braken hit it away with his sword. The army kept advancing, until they were less than 100 meters away. A single man stepped forward.
"My name is Ravogus, I am here to destroy you." The man said. He wore a sly grin on his face.
Gavin held his breath and leaned next to Kendra "That's the man who kidnapped me." Gavin whispered.
