were getting overpowered.
           Virgil was now surrounded by the soldiers and was about to get killed but Leosher, looking out for his brother, took both of his spears and shot them. They both hit their targets. They pierced through the soldiers’ chests and killed them.
         Now armless, Leosher was bare handed, again, just like he was against the Yeti. Leosher knew he had to help somehow, therefore he improvised and pushed down the heavy tree he was hiding behind. It was hard, for the tree was at least half a century old. He struggled but he did it and the attack wiped out almost half the infantry. Then, Azar, getting tired of all of this, created a giant fiery phoenix out of his staff. The phoenix came out as a ball of fire but slowly gained shape. It was glorious in the dark forest and burnt the soldiers, but there was a downfall to this technique too. The whole forest caught on fire because of the fiery phoenix and now, they were caught in a forest fire.
         Neiham quickly shouted out “gather around the horses!”
         Everyone listened to her and stood in a circle around the horses. The hot flashes and the fire were around them and the trees collapsed around them. The forest fire was spreading every second and standing just seemed pointless.
          “What are we doing just standing around?” asked Leosher anxiously “We can be running and trying to save our lives.”
         Neiham smiled at him “Son, observe.” She pulled her stack of cards and chose one of them. She put it on her hand and closed her eyes and in an instance, a blue elephant made of water rose up out of the ragged brown card. The elephant levitated in the air until Neiham clapped her hands together without bending her elbows. The elephant suddenly turned into a blob and then into a water bubble and protected them all from the forest fire.
           Now they were enclosed in a water bubble like a new born’s caul. She then pointed her hands up to the heavens some of the water broke out of the bubble and began pouring down from the sky. The water was endless, it was unlimited. The forest fire died down and everyone was safe now. Neiham let go of the water and soon, the shield turned back into the elephant and the elephant went back into its house, inside the card.
         “Thank you Neiham” said Leosher “You have saved much of our time.”
         “That is the reason I brought her with me” Azar smiled proudly “I knew my sister has a lot of skills.” He looked at the sky and then continued talking “Anyways, we should keep on going now.”
         They got up on their horses and began the journey to the Land of the Dead….
        Just as Azar had told them, there was a beast that lived in the Land of the Dead. The beast was known as Mortemus. She had the body of a spider and the head of a pale woman with green snakes as her hair and dark, all-black eyes. She was hideous and was cursed by the gods to stay there. Whoever looked at her would turn to stone and the soul would stay stuck in the prey’s body.
          The warriors walked and after going through the grasslands and the mountainous roads, the sky began to go dark. As they walked forward, the sky got darker but the sky they had left behind was fine, there was something wrong with the sky above the Land of the Dead.
         The terrain began to become harder to travel on and all the live out of everything was slowly fading away. After some time, the whole entire sky became dark. There was fog everywhere and sight was dim. The ground was cold and hard and the atmosphere was very grim.
         As the traveled further, the horses began to get scared and restless and suddenly, Usere’s horse bumped into something. It was an Orc that had been turned into stone by Mortemus. When all the horses stopped, suddenly, there was a humming sound which slowly transformed into a slight, sweet singing. The voice was sweet and luring and the
