Saga Of The Celestial Warriors

THE LAST STAND

The golden twilight was slowly giving way to the cold night. Autumn was giving way to winter. Hilbert, Elwin and the others arrived in the Southstar realm on white dragons. Amadeus was outside the castle. The castle wall had been repaired by Hanemann with magic, and there were traces of the funeral pyres in the open field in front of the castle. The companions descend from the dragons staring in woe. Morgan goes to a tree and rests from the long trip. Everyone goes to meet Amadeus, who hugs his companions and shakes Matilda and Elwin's hands when Hilbert introduces them. Timo messed Amadeus hair as usual and they smiled at each other.

"It's great to see you all!" said Flick with a smile on his face.

"What happened here, Amadeus? Does it seem that this place was the scene of a devastating battle?" Hilbert asks scanning the battle site.

"Three malevolent creatures attacked last night! We defeated them, but we lost almost two thirds of our allies. It was a very fast and ferocious attack." Amadeus had sudden a change of expression.

"Are Marjorie and Charlotte okay?" Hilbert looked concerned when he asked.

"Yes. Charlotte was decisive in yesterday's victory!" Flick tried to recover from the grief he felt. "Let's come inside, my friends. King Allende awaits your arrival in the meeting room."

Everyone enters the castle, Charlotte runs into Hilbert's arms, and Hilbert kisses her with great passion.

"I said I would return the kiss, didn't I?" says Hilbert looking into the bright blue eyes of his beloved one.

"I thought it would be doubled!" Charlotte kisses Hilbert back. Hilbert's companions were leaving for the meeting room. Leon was approaching.

"Hilbert! Don't take too long. We need to discuss a serious matter!" Leon scolded as he was coming down the main stairs.

"I missed you too, Henry!" Hilbert laughed at his friend's serious face. At that moment, Marjorie jumps on Hilbert's back, covering her brother's eyes.

"Guess who?" said the princess with a laugh. Charlotte laughed at the scene.

"The gray-eyed brat? C'mon Marjorie that old trick again?" Hilbert started to laugh and Marjorie irritated, tugged on the ears of her brother who held the helmet in one hand.

"You fool! I missed you." Marjorie hugged Hilbert and he kisses the princess on the forehead as usual. Gödel was laughing at Hilbert, Marjorie approaches Gödel who was protecting his lower parts, but is surprised by a hug.

"I missed you too, Gödel! You smell so good I could fall in love!" says Marjorie with a smile on her face. Gödel was starting to blush.

"I also missed you, little brat! Come back in five years maybe." says Gödel embarrassed by the comment.

"Let's go to the meeting hall or Henry will come back here and pierce our asses with his spear!" says Hilbert and the others laugh at the comment.

As they entered the hall, King Bruce had dark circles under his eyes and was seated in the center of the large round table. Holt was on his right and Hanemann on his left. Everyone else had already sat down. Hilbert and the two girls sit close together. Hilbert is shocked at Bruce's worn out appearance. The king began to speak cadently.

"Greetings! Drackonius Dorogon, the celestial golden dragon, sacrificed himself in order to prevent, Leviathan, the black dragon, from arriving at our planet!" Charlotte and Marjorie start to tear up and refrain from crying.

"There is no more energy signature from Drackonius or Leviathan. Even their spirits were destroyed." says Elwin with regret at the loss of his friend.
