It was early in the morning on the battlefield when the Sky Heirs and Cassey's companions were still asleep that the fields got disturbed again.
They woke up to a noise which brought smoke with it. Unsure of what it was, fearing danger, they didn't bother drawing their weapons or getting ready for a fight.
Just then, a Portal opened, this time around it was quiet. It was like a dream to them, because their eyes were still filled up with sleep.
And inside the Portal stood a man, who they could only see his shape, he extended his hand to them and invited them in.
They got up and started entering, one by one, like they were climbing a step.
It was as if they were under some kind of control spell and when they all passed through the portal. It quietly closed too.

The next place they saw themselves was on top of a tower. It was so dark and full of wrecks. They got up to realize that they were not on the battlefield anymore.
And the man who had brought them stood there, shining in Gold, he held the golden Trident, full of Glory in his Armour, Castro the Legendary white-winged stallion horseman who stood behind them, raised his voice
"Welcome. Your people have been waiting" said Castro. His voice was like that of the rumbling and thunderous sky, but it was cooler than the waves of the sea. They slowly turned around, still dumbfounded, to see who was behind them
"I would like to wake up now," Albyon said, eyes wide open, and unbelievably, Castro smiled. He was tall, strong, muscular and handsome, even his hair shone in Gold.
"Cassey?" Allen called him, to check if it was his best friend
"Allen." Castro replied, Scanning through their faces, they had so many questions to ask.
"I know, as much as I would love to answer your questions, our lands are already on the verge of being history, as you all know, The Dark Lord occupies the Castle" said Castro, pointing at the Castle which was covered with evil darkness flowing all around, it was far from the Tower.
"Unfortunately, we have no time, and we have no Ally. The ones who survived the waves of attack are weak and unwilling to fight. And to add to it all, a good number of our brothers and sisters, and the creatures of Albion are locked deep inside the Dark Lord's dungeon. We are all we need, we have nothing to lose. For the first time in thousands of years, I have my Sky Heirs with me" He looked at His Sky Heirs, going to Orlswen. He brought out The Treilz sword.
"... And I'm one of you. Today, here and now, I proclaim myself a Sky Heir, the very first in service to our kingdom. And here my friend, I believe this belongs to you" He handed the Treilz sword over to Orlswen, Orlswen took it with pride and honour, it was rightfully his, he smiled at it.
"Albyon, your people need you in your Best now. Hornduras, your name shall forever be remembered for your brevity and strength. Thank you Mantis for your work. But we are all far from done. We still have one more work to do, and that will be our final victory, and we fight now"
" I see a great number of them, but umm, how do we get off here, is pretty tall" asked Hansel looking down in fear
"Victory is ours my friend, you're stronger than you can ever imagine,'' concluded Castro, whose eyes flickered with lightning, and at that moment, he sent them down. They saw themselves down, like they were never up. Their body shook from the rush
"Oh that was… incredible" said Mantis, trying to maintain his stand, supporting himself with his staff. They looked ahead to see the hordes of soldiers they were going to face. They were much bigger than the ones they fought before.
"We have already won, know that" Castro reminded them again, and assured them that all will be well, because from the looks on their faces, they had already given up.
"It will take us time to get to the Castle on foot, and how are we going to pass those soldiers?" Senar asked Castro
Castro whistled and horses came running to them, they shifted from the horses as they whine, they were impressed by this
"Orlswen, Senar, Hansel, Allen, you fight the soldiers, Albyon, Hornduras and Mantis with me, let's go break the Castle, the Dark Lord awaits his doom today" Castron commanded, and mounted on a horse, the others did, he raised his Trident up and it got struck by lightning, he absorbed the energy and rode off! They followed him to the soldier's territory, they blocked the Castle from being penetrated
"Sky Heirs, cover us, we will pass the soldiers and penetrate the Castle"
