Colour throne

Mt.Orb

I charged along with Richard and Nos. Antitso scrambled up to his feet and Conex yelled something to the Red Kingdom soldiers. They began rushing out of the house through the main doors.

"After them!" Richard yelled to our troops.

They cheered and ran after the fleeing Red Kingdom soldiers. We raced them until they had their backs to the rocky cliffs of Mt.Orb. Suddenly, it started to rain. Hard. Thunder boomed loudly in the backround. Lightning flashed off the peak of Mt.Orb, casting a shadow over us.

"Ivor will be here soon!" Conex shouted over the wind to Antitso.

He nodded like he understood. Then, in a brilliant flash of light, a dark silhouette appeared at the peak of the mountain. That must be Ivor, the person that Conex was talking about. He drew his sword and I noticed right away that it was glowing the same colour as the lightning.

In another flash of light, Ivor was gone, along with Conex, Antitso and the rest of the Red Kingdom soldiers.

A few moments after Ivor and the others had disappeared, the rain stopped. A few minutes later, the clouds broke and sun was out again.

"What just happened?" I asked Richard

"Well, only one way to find out," Replied Richard, pointing his finger up, "They probably teleported up to the peak or something. I think they went to that camp of theirs up there. We should climb up there and check it out."

I agreed and during the next few hours, we climbed the mountain. It was hard and very dangerous work. Many parts of the mountain were very steep, and we had to boost each other up. Finally, after a very long time, we reached a ledge. I asked the soldiers to set up camp there for the night while I checked out the plains below for signs of immediate danger. When I looked down, there was a grateful sight.

To the south and west, I saw fields of open grass for as long as the eye could see. To the east, you could see the giant walls of the Green Kingdom. The green flag stood proudly waving in the strong wind. In the north, though was the most interesting. Just to the edge of the mist, you could see a giant wall. Almost four times as big as the Green kingdoms one, it was built with stone, rocks and even a little bit of dirt. Just on top of the wall, was a flag. It was pure yellow, just like all the other flags in Gala, but there was no Yellow Kingdom.

"There is no Yellow kingdom," I thought "why would anyone build a giant wall and put a weird looking flag on top of it?" Just as I was about to examine the place further, a wounded soldier came up to me. "Lenard," he said between gasps,"we're under attack."

         When I arrived back to camp, our soldiers were lined up in rows in a battle formation, so I didn't see a problem. Then, a quick as lightning, a shadowy figure emerged out of the shadows and snatched up a bunch of screaming soldiers and ran away.

      "What was that?" I asked Richard, who had joined me

      "I don't know, but I do know that there are creatures and monsters on Mt.Orb," He replied

      The figure attacked again, but this time, our archers got a few shots on him. A soldier hit it with his sword. It screeched in pain and it stopped long enough for me to get a clear look at it.

It was a huge green lizard with three huge heads. I recognized its long, slender body from a few books that I had read. This creature was a Norripod.
