him, David. He’s trying to taunt you. Don’t take the bait” said Erin cautiously.

“Give it up, General. You’ve lost. Your army is nearly defeated and soon you will be overrun by our forces” she said.

The wolves bared their teeth and growled threateningly. Finally, the largest one spoke. The sound was raspy and deep.

“No one speaks to the King that way. You have no idea what he is capable of. You speak of winning, but the battle has yet to begin.” he said, his lips moving in an unsettling way, revealing his canine fangs.

“What do you mean?” asked David.

“What he means, is this is only the beginning. And now, you will witness the rise of the Darkness once again.” The General laughed hysterically. “You fools; you’ve brought me just what I needed, just as I had expected you would! Bring me the boy, and kill the girl!” he screamed, pointing at David and Erin.

The Wolf Guard sprang into action, leaping down the steps three at a time with their enormous, powerful strides. They rushed at the company with alarming speeds and drew their curved blades from their backs, readying their attack.

Immediately the company responded and prepared for the oncoming attacks. They formed into a loose triangle, bracing for the impact, swords drawn and at the ready.

Orin began casting a series of fireballs toward the incoming wolves, but they were too quick and dodged them easily.

David ran forward and somehow flung himself backward and slid on his knees under the wolves’ legs, before jumping up and rushing toward the General. He threw up his hand and cast a powerful blast, sending a shockwave through the air towards the General.

The General’s eyes lit up green and he deflected the wave of energy with a casual swipe of his hand then quickly sent a counterattack towards David with his own energy blast, throwing him against the wall and knocking the wind out of him. David slumped to the wall, stunned by the savage attack.

Enraged to see David hurt, Erin went into a mad frenzy. She parried the attack of the wolf in front of her, then quickly ducked down and sliced her blade into its calves, causing it to step back and growl in pain. She took advantage of the opening and rolled in between his legs and darted off toward the General.

“Erin don’t!” cried Orin, trying to stop his friend from confronting the General alone.

Immediately he began waving his arms in large circles around him. His hands began to glow, and a gust of air began swirling around him. He threw out his hands and a powerful wave of super-heated air surged from around him and outward, throwing the remaining wolves against the walls, knocking them down and out of his way.

Captain Ryan and his company of soldiers quickly ran from outside, finished with their fight, and began clashing with the wolves as they sprung up ready to fight.

Orin rushed toward Erin and the General as quickly as he could possibly move, trying to reach her before she was hurt. Time seemed to slow as he watched Erin holding up her blade to attack before being thrown through the air with a single flick of the General’s hand. She hit the wall hard and lay motionless next to David, who was only now just stirring.

When he saw Erin lying unconscious next to him, a trickle of blood running down her hairline, his body filled with an uncontrollable rage. David stood up and began walking toward the General, his eyes and orb hand glowing fiercely like never before. His hair and clothes began flapping wildly in a powerful whirlwind that began circling around him. The marble at his feet began to crack and splinter, sending small fragments of rock swirling through the air with the violent gusts.

As he approached towards the General, David flung out his hand and a powerful beam of energy shot from his hand, soaring through the air. The General’s eyes opened wide as he saw the incoming flash of light, but he wasn’t able to stop it in time. It flung him backwards into the staircase, causing several steps to break beneath the force of the blow.

But David continued his attack, calling forth the power from within. Drawing his blade, he jumped into the air; his sword glowing a brilliant blue hue to match the aura of the orb. He swung the blade down in a final effort to finish the General, but he recovered too quickly and dodged the attack, rolling away just in time for the blade to slice deep into the granite where he had just laid.

Recovering from his roll, the General unleashed a series of his own attacks. He sent a flurry of green and black swirling balls of energy toward David who was able to deflect them time and time again with a flick of his sword.

The General increased the ferocity of his attacks, angered that they weren’t making an impact, but David still parried the attacks, as he began moving slowly toward the General, eager to close the gap and finish this once and for all.

Recognizing his plight, the General quickly changed tactics and began gathering his energy. David, seeing an opening, quickly rushed toward the General, raising his blade high to strike him down.

Just as he was about to strike, the General opened his eyes and threw forward his hands, unleashing a powerful green light that threw David tumbling several feet through the air and skidding across the floor. He landed hard on the ground, knocking his head again and leaving his vision spinning.

David slowly tried getting up but fell on his first attempt. He could hear the General laughing at him, taunting him to get up and fight him like a man. The sounds all seemed so distant and far off. Time seemed to slow. He could see the General slowly making his way toward him, gathering energy in his hands again…preparing to finish him off.

Suddenly David heard a familiar whisper. “Let
