It caught up with the soldiers and all of them in the front wave died! The four knights couldn't believe this, but the Dark Lord's sorcerer was calm!
He knew immediately that it was the light of Albion! She was alive. Alby pushed the flames even further, and this time, it was going to reach the Dark Lord's sorcerer, but before it could reach, the Dark Lord snapped his fingers and extended his hand forward, so the flames got neutralized! Alby fell down on the ground, she was weak.
Hornduras and Mantis rushed to her
"What happened to her???" Asked Mantis looking worried and terrified
"She will be okay. She just lost a lot of energy. I guess is all up to me now
"Hornduras said
"You are all we have now" Said Mantis. Hornduras stood up, but she was only one, she stood up tall, Mantis helped Alby back off, so they joined the others where Cassey was.
There was Hornduras, their only hope. Two knights got off their horseback, followed by half of the remaining soldiers, the knights knew that she was a worthy opponent and she was too strong to give her the soldiers alone. They drew their swords, very long, and looked fierce, and strong.
They charged slowly and quickly, one thing was sure, they were already defeated, even if Hornduras succeeded in killing them all, the Dark Lord's sorcerer was there.
Hornduras did something they never expected. Instead of fighting, she looked back at her friends, and in that instant, waved her hand and covered them with a strong protection, Only Alby understood what this meant.
The soldiers and the Two knights charged at her!
"Hornduras, no please" yelled Alby who tried to stand and go for her, but she couldn't break the barrier, Hornduras at this time was alone.
Hornduras looked at her with a smile and for the first time, with tears. She covered herself too with protection, but hers wasn't strong enough, they would still break it if they kept trying!
"I'm sorry Albyon, I'm sorry Castro, you must stay alive, you must save the lands, I will die a hundred deaths for you" Hornduras said, looking ahead of her, the soldiers were near! They started hitting the barrier, but it wasn't opening! The two knights chanced them and started hitting it hard with their swords!
All hope was lost.
"Nooooooo!!" Cassey cried out! They all wept in pain, this was really bad for them, and with another hit from the strong sword, the barrier started cracking, Hornduras even smiled and cried more altogether!
This time around, the soldiers added their own strength and sword. The barrier fragile, more fragile, more fragile, it got cracked, she closed her eyes, and suddenly…
Waves of arrows descended on them! It messed with all the soldiers present there! It wouldn't kill them anyway so more was shut, it flied through the air, they couldn't find the source, and it landed with fire! And oil! Fire wasn't good for them, so they backed off!
Cassey and his friends looked back to see where the arrows where coming from, Lo and behold, it was the King of the kingdom of the borderlands with his finest warriors and soldiers. They weren't expecting any help, just went all hope was lost they showed up!
The Dark Lord's sorcerer and the knights were very angry. Hornduras let go of her protections and went back to check on Cassey, help had come, they might still win!
The King got down from his Royal chariot, with two of his personal guides, they were among the very best of his warriors. He didn't take all his soldiers with them, but they were two times bigger than the Dark Lord's soldiers.
The King came near them, and stood by their side. Cassey's wound was getting bad, but he managed to got up with the Trielz sword.
"I never thought you would come. Thank you, now we can win" Cassey appreciated.
"I wouldn't keep quiet when a fight is on in my kingdom. Look at the greenlands, the trees, they are living and I don't want them dead" The King said
"You care about nature, you're a good king" Alby added
"So, shall we do this Cassey?" Cassey was surprised that he called his name, the last time they met, he never told him his name
"How did you know my name?" Asked Cassey, to his greatest surprise, the King removed his helmet, and who would have guessed It was Senar!
"Senar is the King of the borderlands kingdom??" Exclaimed Allen, who couldn't believe it, even though he was seeing it
"Wow, this can't be true" Cassey said, unbelievably
"But it is my friend! Haha"
"I knew it, I smelled royalty in him. But I would never have guessed he was the king of the strongest Kingdom around" Orlswen said
"Orlswen, you're a great fellow, so we meet again, all of us, fighting together. Let this day be remembered till eternity" said Senar, drawing out his sword, he lifted it up and his soldiers gathered around them, all battle ready, fresh and strong.
Cassey found new strength, they all did, for there's nothing greater than fighting with the people that matters to you, and two and more was better than one, unity is infinite of strength!
Cassey, Orlswen, Senar, Hansel and Allen stood together, ready to face the worst.
Hornduras gasped, as the sun shined so bright on them
"The Sky Heirs" Hornduras said, looking up to the skies,
"What's that?" Asked Alby
"Prophecy has been fulfilled. It is said that The white-winged stallion horseman, would bring his Sky Heirs together, meeting them from the four cardinal point of the earth. From the north, the east, the West and the South… "Hornduras concluded. Alby was surprised, she never knew about the prophecy
" Allen from the east, we met Orlswen in the west, Hansel in the south, and now, Senar in the North" it was now making total sense to Alby.
"Yes. Aren't they glorious? The first time in millennials, the Sky Heirs existed… that means, The Trident and… the gateway" Hornduras realized, with their togetherness, They were stronger, the Gateway would open for the legends, because of The white-winged stallion horseman and His Sky Heirs.
This was the fight, years have been waiting for. And on that day, they had it.
