After a while, a wagon appeared. It was holding a cage filled with little children .
The wagon was pulled by two skeletal horses which were being controlled by a single skeleton seated in the driver's seat. Four other skeletons were walking alongside the wagon , surrounding it on both sides.
Mordecai addressed the group, speaking softly; " Listen, those are basic skeletons. They are very weak and can easily be killed by destroying the glowing orbs in their chests."
"Why can't we just dismember them?" Viola asked, staring at the skeletons with sheer hatred.
Everyone gave her a look.
"What! It's not like they're alive...well, they are but....ugh! you know what I mean!."
"That will only slow them down or possibly aggravate them. Also, as long as their core is still intact, they can put themselves back together again."Mordecai said.
"Noted, now let's go " Archie finally spoke up. He had been silently trying to come to terms with the existence of supernatural creatures.
They crept out of their hiding place and ambushed the wagon. Mordecai took care of the driver while the others took care of the skeleton guards making sure their cores were properly destroyed.
However, Henry was having trouble with killing...i mean slaying the skeleton before him. Using, the magical weapon he was given which was a jade paint brush, he drew a picture of a wolf in the air and the wolf came to life. The wolf bared his fangs and pounced on the skeleton, whacking it's head off.
The wolf disappeared and Henry made his way to the skeleton's headless body which was laying on the floor, to destroy it's core.
Suddenly, the body jerked upright and began to attack Henry more fiercely. The skeleton's attack was so fierce, it gave Henry no opening for him to draw anything to defend himself. Thus, Henry focused more on evading it's attacks while trying to find a chance to draw.
