Mason Order Main Base...

3rd Person POV:

A watchtower horn is heard from the distance and the Mason and Templar troops are running from place to place, working overtime to protect everything they have left. Women and children are being evacuated from the city and small villages. 

"Commander, what's going on?" Edelina asked,

"Aafiq's armies are here." The Commander replied, "I suggest you leave before all of them get here."

"No, I will stay and protect." Giroldus blurted out,

"What?! No, you can't do this! What about our son? What am I going to say to him if you don't come back?" Edelina question,

Giroldus sighed and looked down, "I need to stop him. If I don't try to stop him here, we won't ever have peace for our Religion."

"Please come back to me." Edelina requested, kissing her husband and king.

Aafiq's Arabic and Mamluk forces can be heard in the distance, getting closer and closer towards the city.

All Mason and Templar knights head outside the outer walls. A templar commander thrusts his sword up over his head.

"It has fallen to us! We are one of the very last organizations that defend our beliefs! We need to stand up and show them no mercy! For the glory of Jesus, and for the glory of God!" The Templar Commander yells,

The Christian soldiers shouted: "Deus Vult!"

Aafiq and his forces can be seen in the distance, slightly out of firing range. The Arabic forces chant their war cry "Allahu akbar!" "Allahu akbar!"

The Christian and Muslim armies charged head-on and the swords' clashes and screams filled the air. Aafiq is on a killing spree, slicing Templar and Mason soldiers down, flying down the plains on his armored horse. The Templar knights were much stronger than average-trained Mumluks and Arab soldiers, making Aafiq's force struggle to fight against their enemies.

Minecraftia 10/11/1275...

Within a week of fighting, Layla, Zack, Hammy, and some mief'wa reinforcements set up trebuchets and transportable towers. The Arabic knights load up in their towers until they were full, some that remain manned the trebuchets and went back into their military formation.

The catapults are launched, sending netherrack fireballs towards Mason Order's city's walls. The towers are sent in and struggled to get close to the wall, only a few of them managed to get up next to the wall. The tower's drawbridge drops down and the Muslim knights charge over the city wall and take out the Christian knights toward the gatehouse.

Mason and Templar soldiers that were remaining close by the docks got on board their ships and opened their sails. 

"Prepare the battering ram!" Aafiq ordered.

Mostly Mamluk soldiers start pushing the battering ram toward the city, taking moderate fire from volleys of arrows. The Muslim army set up the battering ram and starts ramming the wooden door. The Templar commander and the remaining soldiers start readying their bows and their one-handed weapons.

Monk Giroldus stands alongside the Commander with his armor on and draws out his sword.

"Everyone, The Mason Order is your home. Don't let it fall!" Giroldus ordered,

Layla's POV:

Hammy and I charge in with a group of Mief'wa soldiers, meeting with medium resistance. Hammy and I mowed down the remaining Christian knights, with only the commander and Monk Giroldus remaining. The commander dropped his weapon, but Giroldus refused to surrender. Aafiq and Zack walk past me and my small squad.

"Giroldus... it's good to see you once again." Aafiq spoke, growling Shasta's father's name.

Aafiq charged at Giroldus and he managed to dodge Aafiq's moves. Giroldus fought hard with all of his might, tiring himself out. Aafiq grabs him by the neck and starts choking him.

"Aafiq, is this really necessary?" Hammy asked,

"Yes." Aafiq responded, dropping him.

Monk Giroldus gasps and coughs, regaining his breath. Unknown to Aafiq, Giroldus gestured the Templar Commander to leave. The Commander nodded and ran off. Aafiq heard his footsteps and tries to kill the knight. I gestured the 'Hold your fire' to all of the forces. Giroldus swiftly grabs his sword and starts to fight both Zack and Aafiq.

"It was unwise to try to fight with us. You're completely outnumbered and all of your allies won't be here to save you." Aafiq said out of laughter, "Once I kill you, I'll kill both your wife and your precious son!"

I became really angry and start fighting Aafiq, assisting Giroldus in the fight. Some of the Arabic forces start to attack me, Hammy and her Mief'wa knights provide cover for me while I was fighting. Zack decides to make his tactical move on me, making me focus on him. Zack was weaker than me and my Ears and Tail pop out of their hiding places, letting my anger fuel me.

I grabbed zack by his hijab and used it to blind him, I swiftly grabbed a second sword and stabbed him through the center of his chest, blasting blood on me, Aafiq, and Giroldus.

"Our deal is off, Aafiq. I'll NEVER let you or your knights lay a finger on my beloved Shasta!" I screamed, out of anger.

"You don't have much of an ar-" Aafiq tried to speak out.

 Giroldus tries to make a fatal blow on Aafiq while he was distracted, but failed miserably! Aafiq pushes Giroldus, making him expose his chest and arms. Aafiq struck through Gline's original King's arm, leaving a large gash half-way down his arm. Giroldus screamed in pain, holding tight on his injured arm. Aafiq laughed and lifted his sword up over his head, Hammy ran over to defend the injured king.

A Muslim archer quickly shot Hammy in the shoulder, making her completely defenseless.

"Hammy! No!" I yelled, running to both of their defense.

Giroldus tried to take on Aafiq again, and this time, Aafiq stabbed Giroldus in the chest and sliced Giroldus's head clean off. Me, Hammy, and the remaining Mief'wa soldiers retreated from the Muslim-occupied city with high casualties. We sought shelter back in Hammy's kingdom, where we decided to lay low and set up seige weapons as defenses.

I can't believe Aafiq didn't keep to his word, all he was, was a greedy King that wants everything to himself! I won't let Aafiq touch Shasta, he is the love of my life and he will be mine!

Back in the Ice Lands, Months later around dusk...

Luna's POV:

My Boyfriend and I are a few days into our mining expedition and have collected tons of raw materials. We got loads of coal and iron from the caves, but have not found a way into the ravine just yet. Nixon has been scouting around the ravine while I controlled the mining party in a cave nearby. When it got dark, Nixon returned.

"Nixon, have you found a way to safely get to the bottom of the ravine?" I asked,

"Kind of, it's sorta flawed, but I believe it will work." Nixon replied,

"I would love to try out your plan, but we'll have to wait till the sun comes back up." I yawned.

Nixon and I changed into our wolf forms and cuddled up for the night.

3rd Person POV:

A small cog-class ship that has the blood red templar's cross on it, is sailing in the ocean with a sleeping templar knight in it. The ship enters cold and partially icy waters. A small chunk of ice hits the ship followed by a loud bump sound, waking up the sleeping Templar knight.

"Whoa." The Templar commander said to himself.

He looked around his ship, using only the light of the full moon and the stars. All he could see is small patches of ice bobbing in the water and was shocked to see a few large icebergs sitting still. The commander quickly got behind the wheel of the ship and tried his best to get around them. The ship made it through the ice field, but it knicked part of the sail and made some slight damage to the hull, inches above the water line.

"Oh crap, the hull's damaged. I need to fold up the sails." the Commander spoke, whilst tying the sails up. The ship was set adrift, letting the water currents move the ship around. The ship was spotted by Wolf Knights. The Knights start to howl and it can be heard on the mountain tops of the ice lands close by the ocean. The Commander gets spooked by this and hides in the captain's room in the ship.

The Commander takes off his helmet and sits it down on top of the end table. The ship violently hits the cold beach, making the ship shake and make it fall on slightly on it's starboard side. And the lonesome knight looked out the small glass window. His assumption was confirmed that his ship beached. He crepted over to the door and was about to open it, but got spooked by another loud howl.

He quickly grabbed some wooden boards that were laying around and barricaded himself inside. The Templar Commander went underneath the sheets, hiding himself the best he could. He stayed awake a few hours during the night. Eventually, his exhaustion overcame his fear.

Next Morning...

Minecraftia 1/13/1276...

Shasta's POV:

Nixon bursts into Sadie and I's bedroom of our Castle ubruptly, startling both of us out of our sleep.

"Alpha, Beta, our scouts from the towers have spotted a ship that sailed into our territory and ran aground." Nixon reported,

"When?" Sadie asked groggily,

"Last night." Luna replied, walking into our bedroom whilst looking at a book.

Luna looked up and saw us both in our undergarments, making us hide under the sheets.

"Oh. Sorry about that... Nixon, let's leave." Luna blushes, pushing Nixon out of the room.

I got out of bed and went into a changing curtain to put on my armor.

"Babe." Sadie calmly called out,

"Hmm?" I answered, looking back toward her,

"When do you think this war would end between the human race?" She asked,

I sighed, "I don't know. I hope we can put a stop to this." I replied.

I slowly exited the bedroom and went to the beach site where the ship ran aground. I looked up towards the masts and I knew exactly who this ship belongs to. I climbed aboard the ship's top deck and looked around the ship's compartments. I eventually went to the captain's quarter's door, I tried to open it but it wouldn't open. It was like someone or something is blocking it.
