A pair is sitting on top of a cliff gazing at the stars

S:Can I be honest for a second...?

Joyful girl:Of course S!

S:I...don't think I'm ready for what's to come tomorrow...I even feel a bit scared...

S feels a hand being put on his arm

Joyful girl:S...it's ok you can do this! We can do this!

S:But...what if I'm not good enough...what if I can't be there to save everyone what if-

S starts to tear up a tiny bit messing up his words

Joyful girl:Hey hey! It's ok think positive!!

S:...yea *wipes tears* yea your right

Joyful girl:Whatever happens
tomorrow,whatever comes at us tomorrow we can all pull through if we all work together!

S starts to perk up a bit feeling much better

S:I'm so glad that whenever I talk to you you can always make me feel better, it's magic isn't it?

Joyful girl:*giggles*Come on you know the answer to that question!

S:*snickers*Yea I do...

S quietly turns to the sunset in front of him

S:It really is beautiful...can we stay up here a little longer?

Joyful girl:Of course... *puts head on Ss shoulder*
S does the same and the two gaze upon the horizon ready for anything that what would come tomorrow.

...1 Day left...

George:So it really is true...

Alad:Even I find it hard to believe sir but our scouts from the mountains have reported a massive army of goblins making their way to Greycott

George:How long until they get here?

Alad:13 hours maybe more or less judging by their army size

George sits in silence with his eyes completely lifeless

Alad:Sir are you ok?

George:*ahem* yes summon our commanders to the war room

Alad:Will do sir

A bit later in the night and everyone gathers around in the war room standing around the table with a map of the lands.

George:The goblins are making their way slowly to us from the mountains.They will arrive approximately in the morning.

Alad:Unfortunately one of our scouts has been spotted he just barely made it out alive back to the town so now the goblins know that we know they are coming.

Leth:I don't like the sound of this one bit...

S:Does the town have strong enough defences to stop this army?

George:...No

S:No? How?? With you knowing there's this many goblins in the area how could you not have better defences? And you call yourself a king.

Alad:That's enough out of you!

George:No he's...right.I've been living in fear knowing this day would happen and yet I never prepared for it at all...

Alad:Nonesene! You spent that time expanding the town you were just gathering the recourses so you co-

George:Alad that's enough...this won't do any good I'm not a perfect man.
