A lone figure stood on the edge of a cliff. His eyes were cast low, looking out at the bloodshed happening on the ground, several feet below from where he was. An angry mob of little green monsters were gathered around a group of warriors. The kaspas had their spears and pitchforks raised threateningly, preparing to attack the intruders. Gabriel did not budge nor did he lift a finger to help the men. He knows that the warriors could not be overpowered by the small creatures. "Look at those kaspas," he thought to himself, "with their buttcheeks hanging out behind them and their floral bandanas! If I do not know better, I might think that these thugs are queer!"

He knew what the kaspas were so angry about. The warriors were there to eliminate their king, Patri. Small creature that the king was, he is considered by many as a brutal ruler - holding two axes, one in each hand, both stained with the blood of his dead enemies. Patri was a rich king. His minions were loyal to him because of his wealth - a walth he had amassed by seizing the villages around Biryu, pillaging them of
their riches and then burning them to the ground.

The green minions of Patri snarled and growled at the intruders but they could not do anything against the ferocity of the warriors. The kaspas numbers were diminishing. One by one their green comrades were being felled by the men's fierce blades, sharp arrows, powerful blows and their fatal magic spells.

Patri looked around and saw the dead bodies of his kaspa men. He then knew that it was a losing battle that he was fighting but he knew that he can never surrender. "No," Patri shouted defiantly to the warriors dressed in black, "you'll never take me alive!" "Don't worry, King," answered Russel, "we have no plans of keeping you alive!"

The mantra weavers positioned themselves behind the men. The two Samabats of the group, SyotaNgBayan and LilBabyDemon13, huddled together and chanted, "Gates
of Mara open unto us, from the pits of hell we summon thee fire demons! We call your names now, Incindis, Ignis! We are your masters, do not forsake us! Fire demons, arise!" Flames errupted around the white witches and from there arose two demons cloaked in garbs of coal, "We await your command, mistresses," the demons answered the Samabats.

"Ready men," shouted PUAL2 and carlozito04, ringleaders of the Yaksas clad in bronze and brown armors!

"Prepare to cast Abikaras," said honneylly to the White Witches, "raise your staffs!"

"Last chance, Patri," asked Wamus, "Surrender now or face the wrath of my spear!"

"Never," Patri shouted, "Ventus venenum! Die by my poison!"

The samabats reacted first, "Incindis, Ignis, cast your judgment against the vile Patri! Burn his insolence to the ground," and the fire demons shot flame arrows at the evil ruler.

The Abikaras were next, "Levitas et Flamas! Strike!" as thunderbolts and fireballs singed Patris green flesh.

The Asuras and Rakshasas of the Black Armours rushed upon Patri, and struck him with their swords. Some fell behind to shoot their arrows at the green king. The Yaksas and Ghandarvas in the Brown and Bronze Armours where right behind them, landing bone-breaking punches to the king.

Gabriel was enthralled by the scene below him. His eyes were glued to the group of warriors. "Such chivalry and courage," he thought. "Never had I seen men and women stare so boldly into the face of death and laugh." The smoke and flames of the mantra weavers' spells engulfed the whole scene. He could not see what was happening anymore. Though the warriors clearly outnumbered the king, Patri alone had the strength of one hundred men and his poison spell is a thousand times more venomous than the bite of a cobra. He whispered a prayer to the three gods. "Let them live," he said.

Soon the smoke cleared and Gabriel saw the lifeless body of Patri amidst the men. "He won't bother us anymore," said Blossom, a child whose village was burned to the ground by Patri as she helped LiLBabYEviL13 tend to the injured.

Gabriel smiled when he saw that no one perished from the warriors. He looked up at the skies and saw Shiva nodding in approval, "Yes, my children, destroy the evildoers as I did before you," he said. The warriors heard Shiva speak and they too raised their eyes toward the heavens. "We will, my lord," they answered in one voice. Shiva, smiling, faded into the clouds upon hearing their answer.

"Let's go," said Baretate as she took Russel in her arms.

"Right," answered Utara and Vampirella, "we're tired."

"A good night's sleep to everyone," said Hojou.

"Yes, we need to gain back our strength," answered Rommel, "we still have Angul to face."

"Our spies, Fujioka and Lagbas3nity, have just come back from the Ruins. They received news that Angul will put up his camp there in a fortnight," said Pizza4Free.

"And we'll be ready for him, won't we," asked AngelStar?

"Definitely," answered khimmyrh01.
