The four rush through the path as they head their way towards Itaka village. Silence grip the group as they think about what's ahead
" The bridge is a couple yards away, so everybody be ready ",. Said Dramon

" I can sense alot of signatures getting close to the village, can you feel that too Dramon? ", Asked Igris

" Yes, I'll say more then a dozen. I can also sense two human signatures, one is slowly fading. That must be them, we need to hurry "

Embracing the kiss the two hold each other's hands as they await on their pending doom, but he senses something not so far,
" I sense a diffrent signature, it's also heading our way ",said Vic

" More of them? ", She asked

" No, these are human signatures. They are converging towards us ", vic smiled as he felt Igris's presence.

" Are they going to make it on time?",

" No, it dosent seem so. Those beasts are already here. I need to buy some time for them ", said Vic as he tried to move

" Your to injured, there's no way you'll be able to move ", Autumn said

" ... Then I won't need to move. I'll use the last remaining Ore I have to gain more time. This move may be suicidal at my condition but it'll give them more time ", His Ore brace appeared as he chanted,
" Ceberius, Gatekeeper Of Hell "

A fire ring formed around the home, forcing steaming air around the area. A large fire swooped up as it formed into the head of a legendary creature . It roared with such ferocity it sent the creatures back a bit. One creature tried to pass but was quickly chewed by it as the rest begin to burn. Being to injured Vic could only manage for a small amount of time.
" As long as Ceberius is on top of us he won't let no creature close. Hopefully they get here before my Ore runs out ",

Feeling the pressure from the heat from afar, Igris sensed his mentors Ore,
" That's Vic, I can sense him. This pressure is heavy, he must of released a technique ".

" This heat. Is that really your friend doing that? ", Asked Crolen

" From the looks of it this may be his last bit of Ore, His last resort. We need to hurry or else he'll die", Igris said

Dramon and the others hurried. As everybody else was locked in and ready. Dramon was slowly losing it. Scared of the possibility of losing another child. The possibility of him being alone. He couldn't stand the thought, it's clouded him. Noticing his fear and thoughts Igris called out to him,
" I know you think we might not make it, it's a hard thought but you gotta believe in your daughter and yourself. I know Vic will do whatever in his power to save her. Now it's your choice if youre going to make it on time or not ",

Knowing what Igris says is right, he needed to focus, for the sake of Autumn, " Your right, now is no time for such thoughts. Let's kill these son's of bitches ".

Cesbirus was burning those necros left and right as they kept trying to get through but it began to fade as the heat loosened up. Knowing they can walk forward more willingly now, the creatures gather up and slowly walk toward the home. Cesbirus continued to chomp on the beasts as they get closer but not at a good pace because of its lack of Ore. A little one makes it past the doors as it charged towards them. Vic throws a set of blades in it's eyes to fall back. But more takes its places as they try to bulge through the doors. Filled with anger and knowing he has to stop them from busting through the door hinges. He needed to muster a little more Ore to stop them in their tracks. He took a deep breath, knowing it might be his last, his golden brace began to flicker,

" And to think I'll die in a battlefield somewhere except in this torn village. If this is my fate so be it, at least I'll get to take some of you fuckers with me ", water began to pour out his brace towards his hands forming some sort of weapon,
" Atlantis's Slicer ",
