“Time is up! I want an answer, Fairy Queen!”
The Earth Spirit demanded an answer from Queen Aoivah. A large army of dragonkins are waiting outside, ready to take down the village walls and anything that stood in their way.
Not a moment sooner, the Fairy Queen flew above the Village walls to deliver her answer.
“Merciful Earth Spirit! Since you have given us an hour to make our decision, we offer you a chance to walk away now! Walk away, and nobody has to die tonight!”
The Earth Spirit simply laughed at the Fairy Queen’s empty threats.
“Such a shame. We could have been beautiful together, Kill them all!”

The Earth spirit commanded his forces to advance. The Dragonkin started their fierce attack at the village gates. They attacked fearlessly as they knew the fairies arrows cannot penetrate their thick hide.
“FHHWICKK!”
A dragonkin howled in pain as it fell on the ground. It was horrified as it noticed that he was missing a leg. The impact of the Mana-reinforced steel arrow was so fierce that the bone of the dragonkin’s leg has shattered into pieces. Gus’ steel arrows did its job and started to shave down the first wave of dragonkins that attacked the village.
The Earth spirit was shocked as he didn’t expect his first attack to fail. As he approached a Dragonkin corpse, he picked up a steel arrow that was firmly lodged on its back.
“Metallic arrows?!”
As the first wave of dragonkin retreated, the Earth Spirit proposed an all-out attack on the fairy’s defenses. With the dragonkin’s great numbers, they could easily smash the village walls before the fairies could shoot them down with their metallic arrows. The earth spirit is aware of how weak the fairies are with close-quarter combat, so he plans to finish them off once he penetrates their village walls.
“Dragons! We will attack with everything we got!Our numbers are greater than them! It’s our victory, if we smash their walls to the ground! Now, Attack!”
The Dragonkins roared loudly as their morale returned fiercely. All the Dragonkin forces has rushed into the village to attack. But the fairies’ defenses got even fiercer, as more steel arrows rained down on them. Soon, They noticed that the fairies have thrown multiple rucksacks in the air, making the shiny things inside scatter across the ground.
“Squish! Skrtt!”
The dragonkin’s attack has slowed down, as howls of pain, bellowed in the air.
“Now! Fire at them with everything you got!”
The Fairy Queen was anticipating for the enemy’s second wave to fall victim to their mysterious weapon which Gus called, a Caltrop. It is an area denial weapon made up of two or more sharp nails or spines arranged in such a manner that one of them always points upward from a stable base.
According to Gus, the enemy’s howl is a signal for the fairies to launch a counter-attack by raining down steel arrows on the enemy with every fairy they have. The dragonkins number dwindled severely as they couldn’t avoid the arrows and the caltrops at the same time. Some dragonkins have slowed down to avoid the caltrops are quickly shot down by the fairies’ steel arrows. The dragonkins who wished to avoid the arrows were hindered by the scattered caltrops. These effective weapons have seriously reduced the Dragonkin’s forces.
“What’s the matter now?! Why did they stop attacking?!” Then the Earth spirit has remembered that the fairies have flung something earlier. The fairies have slowed them down by using Steel Caltrops which was very effective against quadrupeds such as the dragonkins.
“Graghh!!! Useless!!! I’ll have to do everything myself! Oi you lot! Gather around! We’ll bring the fight to those Bastards!”
The Earth Spirit seems to have commanded a new group of earth species besides the dragonkins to stand beside him. It seems that the battle is not yet over for the Earth Spirit just yet.
The Village Walls—
“We did it!”—
“The Dragon kins are starting to retreat!”—
“Hurrah for our Saviors! Hurrah for our Great Queen!”—
The fairies celebrated as the few Dragonkins remaining started to retreat. But suddenly, their victory was short-lived as the ground started to rumble.
“Th..the Earth Spirit is approaching fast!”—
One of the fairy archers has alerted everyone of an attack no one expected. Every Fairy Archer focused their steel arrow on the approaching enemy. The Earth Spirit howled in anger as it endured the torrential rain of steel arrows. Unfortunately, everyone’s efforts were not enough to stop the rampaging Earth Spirit that was able to smash the Village walls.
“SMASH!”
As the dust settled, eight Ogres have appeared in their sights. Ogres are inhumanly large and tall and have a disproportionately large head. It also has abundant hair, unusually colored skin, a voracious appetite, and a strong body. In their hands, were makeshift clubs that were made from a large and heavy tree. They waved around their enormous clubs with no effort at all, taunting the fairies of their impending doom.
“Ogres! Ogres have broken through!”
Trina was first to respond and shot a steel arrow at one of the mindless giants.
“TWHICK! THWICK!”
Her steel arrows managed to penetrate through the skin of the thick ogre. Unfortunately, The skin and fat of the Ogres were thick enough for it to sustain the wound from the steel arrows. Soon after, every fairy started to shoot their arrows at their unwelcome guests. The Ogre was able to push himself through the attack. It quickly raised its club to attack the horrified fairy, little Trina.
“SMASH!”
Dust flew everywhere as the club managed to hit the spot where Trina once stood.
“Trina!” —
“By Gods! They killed her!”—
As the dust settled, everybody was surprised that the Metallic Rat has successfully defended Little Trina. Chiz E. Mouse has raised both its arms and intercepted the Ogre’s club successfully.
“Get out of here now!”
Chiz E. Mouse asked Trina to retreat. Daniel didn’t expect that his metallic suit would save him and the young fairy’s life. The suit which he thought was a curse, turned out to be a blessing from the Gods!
“Gyahh!!!”
Daniel punched the Makeshift club shattering it into splinters. With his suit, he completely pummelled the Ogre down to the ground with raw, brutal strength. Besides the strength of the suit he was wearing, he was completely unaware that his stats were also empowered from the toast they ate earlier. fist after fist, the ogre’s head smashed open like a watermelon.
After witnessing Daniel, The rest of the Pizza Palace brigade jumped right in and picked their Ogre to kill. Their metallic bodies were so heavy, that the Ogres were having a hard time trying to push them away as they mercilessly ground and pound on top of the Ogres. Their pounding stopped eventually until the Ogre’s heads turned into meat paste. The fairies regretted mocking them earlier. Besides being a useful piece of kitchen equipment, they were very strong warriors who could topple Ogres like the heroes of old.
Horrified, the Earth Spirit desperately ran towards the Great tree. The fairies who were not paying attention were on the Spirit’s path. Anyone who gets in the Earth Spirit’s path will be surely trampled to death! As Fuzz E. Bear Gus was about to intercept the Rock like Monster, he shifted his direction and saved the fairies who were about to get trampled instead.
“No, The Earth Spirit is heading towards the Great Tree!”
The Queen shuddered as she attempted to stop the Earth Spirit from taking a step further into their home.
“Bastards! If I cannot have the Great Tree, then no one will!”
The Earth Spirit knows that he cannot win this fight anymore. If he is going to die, then he plans to take the Great Tree with him.
“This is as far as you go!”
Being fully aware that her Earth Magic is useless against the rampaging Earth Spirit, She still tried to stop the Creature that threatens their Tree. Queen Aoivah cast multiple barriers and summoned Stone walls to hinder the rampaging Spirit. Although it managed to slow the Spirit down, A swing from his mighty rock fist smashed the Queen’s defenses by a single punch.
“CRACK!”
Queen Aoivah was blown away and severely wounded after the Earth Spirit’s monstrous blow.
“Queen Aoivah!”
With no hesitation, Trisha threw away her bow and ran towards her Queen. She was horrified at the sight of blood, slowly leaking out of her. What scared Trisha the most, is that her life force was slowly fading away.
“Your Highness! Open your eyes!”
Trisha was crying and begging for the Queen to stay awake.
“Th…The Great Tree Trisha… protect it…”
Queen Aoivah was already knocking on death’s door.
“Noooo!!!!”
Little Trisha screamed in anguish, knowing she can’t do anything to her dying Queen.
Meanwhile—
“Haha! Foolish Fairies! You’re too late!”
The Earth Spirit winded up his arm, striking down the Great Tree in a single Earthshaking strike.
“BAM!!!”
