Twain : You Two

.3

The sounds of heavy and quick footsteps echo throughout the closed stair ascending to the room near the Castle Walls.

Count Deruth Henituse quicken his trembly pace, a little more steps and there he go. The wooden carved door is in his line of vision, he almost run before turning the doorknob on.

"Basen..."

"F-Father..?!" His son, Basen, slightly squeak. A bit surprised but relieve nonetheless.

"How is i--.." He's question was cut off when he caught sight of the blond Crown Prince's face present on the communication device.

"Y-Your Highness..! May i ask how is it regarding the incoming reinforcement? I'm afraid our forces is barely holding on in their current state." Count Deruth continue to ramble with worries. The average looking brown haired father is almost pleading to the crown to send for more allies.

"Yes, Count Deruth. I have already sent the remaining Knight Brigade and also the first line of Mage Brigade. Please, don't worry."

The words of reassurance of the Crown Prince makes Count Deruth to heave in a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Your Highness." He spoke with gratitude as he slightly bow hi head.

"I'm just doing what i need to do." Is the response of the blonde.

Deruth raised his hand and puts it in his chest, seemingly calming his shaking hearts.

Screech~ Screech

The deafening sound of the loud noises echo throughout the territory. All the Knights and employed people tried their best to cover their ears. The screeching sound that's coming from the Wyverns is too much, it's as if they can felt the blood trickling down. The flapping of the gigantic wings resonates around, as if wanting to blow them away.

The crazy laughing of someone with the used of amplification magic reach their sense of hearing.

Count Deruth and Basen look through the window when they heard it-- There, they can see the Guardian Knight of Paerun Kingdom overlooking them from the sky. Looking down at them as he spread his arms wide, as if he conquered the world.

"It's now time to bring ruins to this old Kingdom!" The white haired bastard keeps on speaking nonsense atop the large Wyvern.

It all happened in an instant.

First, The Indomitable Alliance was ready to put an ending to them, in the seconds there's a large rumbling throughout the Henituse territory.

"Your Highness..! The reinforcement came quicker than expected..!" Basen immediately informed the Crown Prince. A sigh of worry and relief escaping his lips knowing that the help have come to them.

"Your Highness, thank you, you even sent so many knights and mages..!" Count Deruth seconds after, seeing the large rumbling in the forest and ground means there's so many people who arrived.

Wait. Forest? Why would Knights and Mages use the forest as their path?

"But the reinforcement i send is just on the way tho?" Crown Prince Alberu Crossman lets out a confused noise.

What?!

Then who's the mob coming out in the forest?! More importantly, why are they coming out from the Forest of Darkness, one of the forbidden region?!

Count Deruth froze on his spot.

The gears is quickly moving in a rapid pace. His mind is quickly recalling the secret residents residing in the depth of Forest of Darkness.
