" For Ravenna!!!" roared the humans as they charged the skeletons. Drake got back up and slashed his way to the human army. The human army was roughly 60 men, half of them who didn't know how to fight and the others deadly warriors. A farmer with a axe almost cut Drake's head off but stopped the swing before it decapitated him.  " Watch where your going fella " the farmer said " You don't want to die from a old farmer like me would ya? ". Drake nodded at the farmer and made his way to the warrior side. The skeletons had a larger number but the humans could fight and were very durable. Drake slashed a skeleton and ran to the captain of the humans. The captain was a very tall man who had a brown handle bar moustache and a small goatee. He was wearing his Captain badge proudly. His armour was dented and broken from many sides but he didn't seem to care. He had a long broadsword and his head was straight and his eyes noble. He was fighting a skeleton until he noticed Drake. " You don't seem to be one of my men, who are you?" the man said. " I am Drake Akaison from the Immortal clan" Drake said. The captain looked at Drake in awe and disbelief but quickly made a stern face " A Immortal eh?" he said " Well I guess you can help us with our problem if you survive". He stared at Drake and took his hunting knife " You'll never win with this piece of junk!"  he said and threw his hunting knife away. He handed him a heavy broadsword. " Now this will help you to kill those oblivion skeletons!". Drake ran and slashed a skeleton. He screamed in agony and disintegrated. He understood. He kept on killing the skeletons until only the archers were left. The human archers fired there arrows and finished them off. The arrows and swords were enchanted by shaman to vanquish evil, and they worked. Drake ran to the captain who was examining all the causalities. As Drake ran up to the Captain who had tears in his eyes but wiped them as he saw Drake. Drake and the captain walked beside each other. " So your name is Orin? " Drake asked. Orin grunted. " So what is the task you were asking me? A thing only a Immortal can do?' Drake asked. " Not only a Immortal but a Immortal specializes in" he said. Drake understand immediately. " A Bleedingmoon has been terrorizing our village" he said. " Farmer's were sending complains to our elders saying that if the Bleedingmoon isn't killed, they will leave the village with their livestock." he said. " And that means no one will pay the tax so we can't progress.". " We set out into the Outlands to find any sign of the dragon but we found you instead." . He stared at Drake like he was not worthy. " So we thought it was a good idea to help you.". He said thought in a very somber voice. " Anyway, we don't want to lose anymore lives and the Oblivion Skeletons won't be bothering us for a while. So Drake Akaison of Immortal, do you accept the challenge to kill this bleedingmoon and bring back his head?" Drake stopped walking for a second then started to walk again. " Yes." Drake said. " But I must be prepared... If that's okay." Orin laughed a hearty laugh and said " Drake Akaison, what a foolish question! We lost more armour and weapons to that dragon then to you!" and he laughed all the way to the village
