Frank's POV
I was on guard with another group of guards.

There was Ken, Jason, Will, Jack, Kevin, Mike, Rob, Bruce, Tim, Drake, Hayden, Keith, Lee, Nick, Justin, Jonas, and Christopher.

"There's no sign of Flames anywhere, sir." Drake said.

"Keep your eyes peeled," I say. "I have a feeling he's going to show up any moment."

"Yes sir." all the guards said.

"Sir," Jack called. "Look!"

He pointed to a flock of owls coming towards us like a thousand torpedos.

"What the-"

Soon the owls were clawing everyone.

Everyone except me.
The guards were running frantically, trying to get the owls off their faces.

Some were successful.

Others... not so much.

"Ugh! Get it off my face!!!" Kevin screamed as the owl named Bo slashed at his arm.

Kevin screamed in anguish and soon all the guards were drawing out swords.

It was sword against claw.

Who would win?

I didn't know.

Adam's POV
I followed Soarin to the back of the tower.

Soarin's plan must've worked because there were no signs of any guards around.

Unfortunately there was no ladder to climb up to the window.

"Dang it!" I shout. "There's no way I'm getting in there now!"

Soarin shook his head and started hooting some more.

"Hoo, hoo, hoot!"
"No problem! Hey Windsor, Finn, Claws, Grayson! Get over here!"

Soon I saw four more owls come towards us both.

I saw what they were going to do.

They all lifted me up to the small window leading into the castle.
Once I was in, I turned around and waved.
"Thanks bud!" I say.

"Hoot! Hoot!"
"Glad we could help! We'll be waiting down there for you! Don't worry, we'll take care of these guys for you."

I smiled and Soarin and the other owls flew off to help their friends.

And I rushed up the stairway.

Frank's POV
Where in the blazes did these owls come from?!

I didn't know that of course.

But it seemed like whenever one owl was down, more popped up.

It was unbelievable!

Then I hear a hooting noise come from the distance.
It was another owl! And he was calling for reinforcements!

I grabbed my crossbow and I was about to shoot an arrow at it but something struck me.

I sensed that there was someone here...

"Flames..." I sneered.
"Hold these hooting fools out here! Nelson, come with me!"

"Yes sir!" Nelson said, as he pierced an arrow through an owl's stomach.

Then, we headed into an old archer tower.
