It was a Time For Gargoyles

I saw everything

the walk to the castle is a long walk filled with Goliath Alyssa and I discussing the plans ahead, but it's also a chance for me to talk to Gabriel and Angela, so as we near the castle, I walk up next to them, joining in the conversation. "So Gabriel, Angela, what's it like living here? I've only ever lived in Scotland and New York".

The two young gargoyles look at me kind of poleaxed. We've never lived anywhere else besides here, so we don't know precisely the differences, but we have everything we need here. A lot of our brothers and sisters are farmers. None of us are warriors, but we utilize the land to make it our own."

I look up, kind of shaking my head. I really don't know what that's like; I have been a warrior and a fighter my whole life from a hatchling. My visions were incompetent in my battles. The older members of the clan and eventually the humans took a vantage of it, which protected us for a while before I guess my visions didn't warn us about. I pause in my sentence, not to Saralee able to continue, and the two young Garbo's hand look at me with sympathy, obviously hearing the stories but still not understanding what it's like.How could these two young gargoyles that though have lived probably about 900 years haven't necessarily experienced the things that me and the rest of my clan? I look at them, though, and see the end of the sentence and understand that this is a new clan where they don't have to go through the pain we went through, so I should've put them through that.

" Anyway, tell me about the archmage he showed up yesterday, correct?" They nod their heads as I continue, " it probably means that somebody else is involved in this. The arch message doesn't have enough power from what I understand to be able to travel in time and control magic to this extent."

Gabriel puts his hand on my shoulder. "Avalon is the birthplace of magic; whatever the archmage was capable of is 10 fold, but I agree he must have help for the harm and destruction he had caused."Smiling at him, I see the familiarity in his face, the shadow of my old clan members on his face. I know who his biological parents are, but like I said, I can't change the past, but my heart still aches.

We finally arrive at the castle and walk up the stairs leading up to the main entrance seeing gargles fly around guard the ledges making me smile. It's just like the old days. Goliath asks them how many are wounded, and Angela tells him too many we look around in a vast fast room, which I guess would be a dining hall filled with tables with blankets over them covering bodies making me go cringe. These were our children making my eyes frown. Who would do such a thing?

" We weren't prepared for battle Angela comments, which habitual replied, "before tonight, there was no need to hone our combat skills."

"Princess?" I hear Goliath say, turning around and meet eyes with Princess Kathrine, making me gasp and run to her

"Goliath! Delphi! Tom, you found them," she says, excited, her voice shakily slightly as I hug her tightly, and she hugs me. Katherine is much older than the young women I once knew, mostly in her late seventies, early eighties."This is more than I could have hoped for," she says, making me let go looking at Goliath. The look on his face is of sadness and grief almost but also gratitude "the way you've guarded our children is more Than I dreamed of; I'm glad to be here," he says.

"As am I," I tell her, making her smile "without the three of you, we want UPD have never seen this or imagined it could have been possible.

We heat a groan, making us look over, and Katherine runs to help the injured youngling; I notice on her body laser Marks meaning someone came here to attack them without magic.

"I only wish the time were equally glad," Kathrine says, making the gargoyle more comfortable. "Lazer burns?!" Goliath asks but also shouts, demanding they tell us what happened.
