"Demons are coming! Demons are coming!" cried the sentinel. Perched atop the highest tower the sentinel could see for several kilometers. The relay messengers called to each other so that in moments the entire wall began arming for the battle to come.
"Heat the oil! Ready the ballistae! Firekeepers ready your firespears!!" Bobby called out. He was on watch during dinner having experienced a foul bout of the runs after something his new girlfriend Astrid made.
Along the wall were ten cohorts of ten heroes with additional soldiers from the army. Surprisingly Bu Li was commander in the army and directed the battle from cohort 5.
Konigsdottir was in cohort 6 along with nine heroes from the competition yet no one from her school. All nine were magic users and crowded near the ballistae. It was their job to set up a magic barrier between after each ballistae fired.
They spoke little to her as Konigsdottir did not understand Western Common other than "Avec moi et tu?" It was a nightly question they asked each other before pairing off. She would have none of that and especially not with a human.
The very thought of all that saliva gave Konigsdottir nausea. Only another Sylvan Royal could she even consider such a thing. Not with a Fey nor human. Not even Mike, though not human, was also not Sylvan.
Astrid fretted about the discomfort Bobby had after eating her honey pudding. She looked over to him as she adjusted the straps on his plate mail. "Demons, it's finally Demons Bobby, let's get this over with and head home. I mean back to our real home." Astrid said.
Bobby looked at her and asked "Will you be my girlfriend? I mean we're friends and all. So I thought you know more than just hang out after training and stuff."
Brain standing next to Bobby said. "Nice timing man. You finally asked her. "
"Yes, Bobby, yes I'll marry you when we get back home!!" Astrid said excitedly.
