Chapter 3 - Battle of ScaleWind

When the people of ScaleWind saw what was slowly marching toward them everyone faces lit up with fear. Vlad reorganized his soldiers but we probably won't make it out of this one alive. Vlad ordered all the Sorcerers in the back and all knights cover the hole in the wall and send all spare archers to shoot all who get to close to the wall. Vlad's plan sounds like it would work then I asked," Vlad what can I do to help, do you need me in the front to help them not get through the wall." He answered with," no you have to run and take all my people to safety. You need to flee all the way to the capital to call in reinforcements." Then the enemy army began to run toward us. I yell out" why can't I stay and fight you obviously need my help." All he answered with was " GO NOW!" while he draws out his sword for battle. Next I know is a Kimlascan soldier with a spear tries to stab me, I thankfully dodged it and draw out my sword. All of a sudden I hear a hissing noice while a spear barely passes my ear. Then a enemy soldier took his sword and swung near my belly and nearly hit me but I return his strike with a stab near the guys chest. I managed to pierce his shoulder but I couldn't make it through his armor. Then all of a sudden the man's mind seem to have gone blank. He just stood up but it surprised me to see him take off his chestplate and stab himself with his spear. I there heard Vlad's voice yell," I told you to run to O'khasis now it's to late we're stuck here in the city.

Then in the distance I see Brandon near the gate with only one other guard fighting for there lives against at least 12 enemy soldiers. Brandon is holding both a sword and a spear. Taking enemies out one by one. But then his friend gets shot by an arrow. He then falls to the ground and Brandon become enraged. He basically goes mad and starts taking even more enemies out. But Brandon is shot by an arrow as well even though he does not fall he takes out another soldier before another arrow hits him in the stomach. Even with 2 arrow in his stomach and chest he continues to fight on, I'm not sure how he becomes so powerful. But Brandon finally falls after he gets shot by 3 more arrow in his back and leg. All he does is sits on the floor trying to get back up but he can't even stand anymore when he tries reaching another enemy soldier, for he sees this and stabs him right in the chest and Brandon finally falls. Vlad tells me not to mourn his death for which he gave us enough time to set up a defense for the town square.

Thankfully the enemy stopped there attack for now to regroup there men. And now we know what we're up against so we can better prepare for them. First we gave weapons to all those who were willing to fight for ScalesWind then Vlad came up with the perfect trap. First we would send a small fast group of archers and Sorcerers to attack the enemy then run back to the square. That where are legion of archers will be waiting on top and inside the buildings all around the square. Finally when we open fire are Sorcerers will use their magic to keep all enemy forces inside the square and all our knights will pick off all those remaining. But just in case I am there Ace up Vlad's sleeve because if things go side ways Vlad wants me to use my power to eliminate them.
