"Master Taiga!' Simon shouted,"The enemies are approaching!" I gasped,"What?Quick!Call our men!" "Department 1,2,3 prepare yourselves.Head to the East gate!Archers,head to the top!The rest of the soldiers, separate yourselves and head to the remaining gates!" the audio system blared.

"What's happening?"my little sister, Dawn,was awoken by the loud announcement.She rubbed her eyes and yawned."The enemies are approaching,Dawn.Don't worry.I have prepared for this battle." I said reassuringly. "Master Taiga!I need you to see something!" one of the soldiers shouted. I commanded some soldiers to stay in the room while I went with the soldier.

We climbed up fleets of staircases and finally reached the top of the castle. "Look there!" the soldier pointed at the north gate. A few witches were floating in the air,cackling as they threw some gleaming balls into the garden.

When the balls touched the ground,they exploded and my garden was set on fire."Call the fire department!" I shouted. The soldier took out his walkie-talkie and dialled."Fire department!Head to the garden immediately.Put out the fire!Bring some henchmen to attack the witches! I repeat. Head to the garden immediately." he shouted into the walkie talkie

As the battle continued , an ominous feeling washed against my body. I immidiately returned to my room to find Dawn and to my horror, a enemy soldier was attacking the soldiers and was aiming for.........Dawn! "No!" I exclaimed,remembering years ago when I failed to save my little brother. I cannot let Dawn die! I quickly rushed over to defend Dawn.

"Aaah!" Dawn screamed as the enemy soldier pierced his spear through my arm. A deathly sharp pain jolted through my body and my life flashed before my eyes. "Die!" one of the soldiers who had mustered enough energy to stand up shouted as he took his sword and attacked the enemy soldier from behind. The enemy soldier had no time to respond and was swiftly killed as the soldier stabbed through his heart.

"Call the nurse!"the soldier , my life savior, shouted to some soldiers that were rushing past. I collapsed onto Dawn , my vision blurred. The last thing I saw was Dawn's anxious and agonizing expression. No... Dawn, please don't make that face....

I woke up to a bright room with Dawn sitting beside me. The nurse assured me "Do not fret , Master Taiga. The wound is not deep, but you should stay in bed to assure that your body does not inflict any more damages. " Dawn heaved a sigh of relief and her eyelids began to close. " She has been taking care of you and refusing to leave your side ever since you fainted," the nurse whispered, "let her have some rest. "

Just then, I heard a knock on the door. " Come in" I ordered. My favourite general, Madarame, walked in with his usual gentlemanly style and kneeled down before me, reporting: " The soldiers heard of the attack on Dawn and are now fighting more furiously. They do not want any harm on you and Dawn.Their motivation is to ensure your safety." I nodded to acknowledge him and gazed out of the window, sighing at all that had happened within one day. Just yesterday, our castle was peaceful and filled with laughter. Now, it has turned into a battlefield, my gardens stained with blood, my once blue and azure fountain stained with dark red, and my pure and innocent Dawn, scarred by the many deaths that had taken place in front of her eyes.

The sky was getting dark. Just then, I saw a enemy soldier flying in the air, heading towards my room. I immediately took out a catapult and shot some stones at him. The parachute that was carrying him broke and he fell deep into the darkness of my river. I saw a giant jaw biting him and knew that it was my pet crocodile, JaggerJack.

After what seemed like forever, the battle ended. The enemy general tried to escape but was caught by one of the generals,who hauled the him back to the castle and threw him into the prison. I called for the doctors and they went to take care of the injured. The generals were put in a special room seperated from the rest of the soldiers.

I went to visit them. Simon was badly injured and had scars all over his muscular body. He spoke in a muffled voice with his big mostauche covering his mouth. Madarame had only some minor injuries and was sound asleep. Frank had a deep gash on is body. He was sleeping too and I could hear him muttering" Kill.....Kill them" The rest of the generals were alright andjust had some scratches.

I then went back to my room and slept.
