Charlie was thrown to the ground, his breath knocked out of him. "You didn't think it was that easy did you?" Abaddon snickered. He wielded a magical sword, and the fire that was once in the pits now swirled furiously around his weapon.

Charlie's eyes widened

Charlie's eyes widened. "..h-how..?" He stuttered. "Haha..It's simple. You're a incompetent little kid. You're not trained.. At all. You just stepped into my palace expecting this to be easy. Well guess what. Your plan backfired." The king held up his sword and pointed it towards the pits, and the fire that was circling it then returned and lit the fire pits back up. He then sheathed it and sat back down on his throne. "I think next time you should be a little less mean," he remarked. And before he was going to order Charlie to go away again, Akuji ran in, being a roaring mess.

"SHUT UP! What is it Akuji!" He demanded. "The-The..Q-QUEEN!" He panted. "What?! Inconceivable!" And with that, Abaddon arose and ran over to a window to see an army of unicorns galloping towards the castle.

"ORDER THE CENTAURS TO GATHER! NOW!!" He shouted

"ORDER THE CENTAURS TO GATHER! NOW!!" He shouted. "Y-yes Sir!" Akuji obeyed. He ran off to round up the centaur army. They all immediately grabbed their bows and arrows and set out to face the unicorns. They all had armor, and some even had swords. They galloped away from the castle, crossed the mote, and by then, the unicorns were about 40 meters away.

Suddenly, the army of horse men halted, along with the unicorns

Suddenly, the army of horse men halted, along with the unicorns. Once the unicorns were stopped, one of the centaurs ordered a smaller, less capable one to distract them. It was a young boy about 15 years old. He ran to them and ran past them, bringing their attention to the opposite direction.

(Warning: next paragraph contains -kinda- graphic fight scenes)

"CHARGE!!" One shouted, and the fight broke out. Some centaurs hid behind boulders to shoot with bows and arrows, and some ran ahead and used swords. The unicorns needed nothing but their horns. One of them skewered a centaur straight through the heart. Dropping dead. One by one. One unicorn ran too close and a centaur shot its leg, in effect, the others, including other unicorns, trampled over it while fighting each other. It all came down to one centaur and two unicorns. Who'd win? One of the two- obviously less intelligent- unicorns charged forward and was immediately slaughtered by the bloodthirsty centaur. The unicorn and centaur circled around a boulder, not able to decide who'd make a move first. Suddenly, stopping the hesitation the unicorn leaped over the boulder and brought down the centaur. It begged for mercy, but the unicorn didn't give in. Not a minute wasted, it rounded up enough energy to at least painlessly kill the centaur. She gathered more energy than the sun holds and gently tapped the pinned-down centaur on the forehead with the tip of her horn, releasing the energy. And he fell into an eternal sleep..

- minutes later -

The victorious unicorn started its journey to the castle again, this time, feeling more powerful than ever. She reached the mote, and she slid to a stop. The unicorn arched its back and slowly, wings like an eagle grew from her back. She flew across the mote and reached the gate. She looked around, and made sure she was "safe". She silently crept into the castle, and trotted into the Royal chamber. "What a pleasant surprise, Queen Serenity," King Abaddon greeted. The Pegasus grinned and shifted into Queen Serenity. She curtseyed, "King Abaddon."
