Chapter 30

The four of them were fighting, of course the only help they could get was from the person who put them in jail. Kenshin and Tingle were trying both to defuse the situation. Fang was determined to force their jailer to break them free, Tauren her, seemed to believe that it was worth giving Drake a chance. It was the familiar decision that shifted the situation, Kenshin knew that Drake was strong he would be valuable. But could he be trusted?

-There good inside of him, please give him an hour, said Tauren

-No Horn, you hear them out there, they are training we can hear the metal clash, if they are training, we can't be waiting. We need to act and soon. Said Fang

We can't fight an army, not us four alone, said Tingle

- Lohan is still resisting, said Drake

The four friends turned around; Tauren ran to hug him. The rest of the team stayed behind, the familiar held their meeting

-He did come back and its Raleigh that was chosen to mentor him, said Eryman

He was the one that created the race, we know he is with the celestial, but this race had never had familiar, it's a risk

I was hoping Sangoku would be here, he helped me create the draconian he can vouch for their purity

Everyone turned to Kenshin, but Kenshin shook his head he had not seen his familiar since the ritual, he was worried, he was from this world but even his friends didn't know what could have happen the familiar were chained to them, it was a mystery. Kenshin stepped forward he knew the situation was critical, but if Lohan was resisting, they needed assistance. Truth, is he knew there was a possibility that Figwit had enslaved Sangoku with a dark spell perhaps. He wasn't sure he could beat Figwit, he would have too but not now.

-Lohan is resisting we should go, I vote that we give Drake a chance, a test, we need to help them, there are elves then maybe they can convince the elves warrior tribe. I know that the king is awful Fang but we need all the help we can

Thanks to Drake ability they travel fast. There was a small army of the devil tribe at the gate. Around sixty if Kenshin analyzes ability was right, was followed great sight , a group of armor soldier wearing the color of the Lohan kingdom.

- You see those big one there, Fangs you get those

- I'll get the winged gargoyle

- Tingle, I want you to make sure that there is no surprise, use your speed, you see a danger , you alert us or you take care of it

- Tauren you are crucial, you see the cliff there are archer there, use your winds to make sure the arrows never hit the target.

- I'll fight any enemy you asked me to fight, said Drake

- Prove us we can trust you. answered Fangs

The fight went as planned even better than expected, the Lohan fighter were well trained. The archer attack was also their biggest downfall, Fang enemies were almost giants, Tauren used the wind to direct the arrows at them, they were easy target, with Fang strength they were soon down, Fenrir took care of the goblins, they were sneaky but weak, Tingle also did well as well, some enemies were carrying small bomb, the enemy number were greater they could sustain some, Tingle took care of them and shield Tauren. Lastly Drake did better than expected, he would change enemy position make the enemy confused and daze and killed the archer. They met back on the battlefield

-Well done all, said Drake

- What a victory, said Kenshin

-We did have some lost, but that's war I guessed, said Tingle sadly

- Is there any other enemy attacking, we need to make sure we protect this place, let's make sure the next fight happens soon and, on our terms,

-Thank you for your help stranger, we were losing, please you have to meet our king

Kenshin had a very poor opinion of the king of Lohan, he had delt with him before, he knew this meeting was destined to be a Katastrophy, but it was too important to not try

-Fine, but remember there was two elves in your groups of saviors, said Kenshin

They walked toward the palace; Fang whispered

-Nicely, said horn

As they were entering the castle, the five friends became nervous it was the perfect place for an ambush and they didn't know how many soldiers Lohan had.

-My ring isn't alarmed; said Kenshin I think we are safe

The horned elf wasn't sure about Drake but his legendary artifact, was very helpful the ability to communicate telepathically was impressive, they entered the throne room and were shocked. Kenshin felt relieved, he saw that a new king had replaced the old one and the new man was none other than the old guard, who fell in love with his mother.

-We'll all hope isn't lost, guard this elf is Kenshin, remember the kid who freed another kid with no money at all that's him, why don't you present me your friend over dinner

The dinner was splendid unfortunately the meat was to cook to get any ability. But the conversation was as fruitful.

-I'm glad you are the king, you were a great leader who showed everyone respect, we will be happy to help you, said Fang

-Thank you, Kenshin, it was hard but the men fighting here are willing to die for the sake of this land, said the king ,I knew the old Figwit but this new one is scary and I have no idea what he planning or what help we are getting.

-Tell us all you know let compare note, said Kenshin

-Then I probably need to start from the beginning, said the king , I got kick out of Lohan because of my relation with your mom, I traveled and traveled as a mercenary , not my proudest moment, I met bad people there was a bandit telling me tales of a horned elf, it made me think of you , but after hearing about him , it couldn't be , he was leading a band of bandits and committed countless murder, I decided to follow him to learn more, the first week I overheard his name Figwit.He went to forbidden place and committed forbidden ritual. I was there when he summoned the devil tribe, I don't know how I escaped I tried warning people but they didn't believe me. I still was respected by some soldier and they were loyal. We found out the king had made a pact with Figwit , our freedom for gold. He was exposed and imprisoned. Then the attack started and here you are, your turn

- Each of the five celestial champions went telling the king their version, when they were done

- Werewolves , minotaur's and orcs all unlikely allies but if they heard Lohan is still resisting and if they are true to their words they will come here

You can't be saying , what I think your saying , said Tauren shaking

This is the last stronghold; this is where the fight starts and end

Kenshin remembered the Seer words, it's a war we loose. He smiled sadly looking at his companions the irony that where he had been given a second chance started and there it would end.
