The Lightning Bender and The Battle Of The East

The White Witch Of The Mountainside

The crowd was so amazed at my device and King Illius is so happy with it. He looked at King Mortheus and smiled.

"That thing the lightning bender has introduced is so good." he said to King Mortheus. "Do you propose to make more it?"

King Mortheus looked back at King Illius and smiled back.

"I propose to make more of it to ensure the safety of the land." King Mortheus suggested.

Then King Illius looked at me and smiled.

"Your device is good and very impressive, Sir Alex." he started. "I, King Illius of Yesterwood, and King Mortheus of Exphoria agreed to your device. We'll make more of the same device that you have now."

I smiled at King Illius.

"I just wished that you have more metal and steel to make more of this device." I apologized to King Illius. "This wooden contraption is not that durable and strong, not like the plan that I showed you last night."

"What do you propose, Sir Alex?"

"Make more of this device that I created," I replied. "but I'd rather suggested to make them in steel."

"So steel it is!" he decided. "We'll make more of this contraption of yours durable."

"And also," I continued. "twenty arrows on each windlance."

"More arrows too." he continued.

I bowed down and put my right fist on my chest to respect King Illius.

'Thank you, Lord Illius." I said.

King Illius immediately ordered his men and his workers to make eight windlances with their weapon forges. King Mortheus asked his men to help King Illius in building windlances at the gates. The forge workers fired up their weapon forges and immediately created the metal foundations and the bows. The workers immediately walked to the surface and assembled the windlances with my directions and head back to the forges to get the other parts. They also created wheels made out of wood and immediately applied them on the windlances. They also crafted some arrows made of steel and copper and immediately put them on the arrow bags inside the windlances.

Evening came when the construction of the eight metal windlances finished. King Illius asked us to go to the dining hall for the last feast inside Yesterwood. He asked his maids and cooks to make more food that they could cook and also asked them to cook some delicious food for the night. I, King Mortheus, Lady Victorious and Sir Edward are so happy for the hospitality of King Illius and his counsel and also to King Illius's maids and guards.

King Illius stood up and smiled at me and King Mortheus.

"The windlances are so beautiful indeed, my Lightning Bender." he commented on the windlances. "They're huge and very powerful on their looks. I hope they've got a huge help for the sooner battle."

"The windlances needed aid from a man to make it more useful, My Lord Illius." I warned. "It will not be useful if no one will hop on those windlances and maneuver them."

King Illius sat back to his chair and smiled at King Mortheus.

"Do you tell Sir Alex more about the prophecy, Lord Mortheus?" King Illius asked King Mortheus.

"No, I haven't." King Mortheus replied.

I started to get confused on what they're talking about. So I leaned my head to the two kings and smiled.
