Battles to come
"You have to admit the kid is a very talented mage" Stampy said to the golden king who nodded, "Yet we have a single problem with that". Sky raised an eyebrow, "That is". Stampy sighed deeply, "Sky no one in our army is a magic user, we can't find someone who can teach him or even be with him". Sky groaned remembering how his army lacks mages, "And your here to remind me that the most powerful mage beside my father is our enemy" he said making Stampy shake his head. "Sky we need mages and fast" he yelled, "What about Jin he's a mage and well our only one", Stampy dug his claws into the stone floors, "I don't get a good feeling from that mage, something is dark about him. Maybe someone else". Sky sighed, "We don't have a chance Stampy, beside I trust Jin he wouldn't do anything to betray me". Stampy sighed and mumbled that's what you think, "Listen cat all my allies betrayed me for that squid so I can't really do anything right now, guard bring in the young mage". Stampy sighed, he never liked Jin he always felt that something was off about that mage. He seemed to interest in dark magic, a form of magic that is forbidden, outlawed. Placing a young mage under his teacher ship is well in his words dangerous, it's like placing a child with a psycho, the child will so mimic that people around them.
"Alright kid" Sky said snapping Sky out of his thoughts, "You'll be under the training of our mage and a friend of mine. He'll be your mentor". Ddawn sighed deeply, "Though my father is a better mage I'll agree with thus". Sky chuckled, "Like you have a choice kid, besides my father is the best mage in Minecraftia. Follow me". Ddawn rolled his eyes and followed the golden king leaving Stampy alone, "O stars I have a bad feeling about this" he said before padding after them. Ddawn was not excited but he knows he has no choice but to obey the king, he may be able to hold his own but Sky has the ability to kill him. "Relax, the tension is thick around you" Stampy spoke out trying to get the young mage to relax but it didn't seem to be working, Sky sighed to himself mentally before pushing the door open to his castles library. "Jin", Ddawn watched as someone walked out of the large shelves of books. He did seem to be about Sky's age with a head of black hair, he was wearing a purple cloak on top of his long sleeves white robes. "What's with the kid" he asked making Ddawn cross his arms, "Jin this is Ddawn, since we have no mages I'm putting you in charge of teaching him". Jin crosses his arms looking at Stampy and quickly saw the felines glare, "Sure I won't mind having a student" he said shooting the glare back in the felines direction.
"Great, show him around will you. I have ton of work to finish" Sky said pushing his glasses up his nose, "Yeah yeah I get it" Jin said holding a hand for Ddawn to shake, "Names Jin kid". Ddawn shook his hand, "Ddawn and don't call me kid". Sky took his leave mentally mumbling to himself since he was buried with work, Stampy hissed at Jin before walking out of the room. Jin watched the ginger leave and turned back to Ddawn once Stampy's tail flicked out of view, "So kid what kind of magic are you into healing, fire, water. You get what I mean". Ddawn gulped, "We my father taught me magic but I don't know what category that would fall under" he said making Jin nod in understandment, "Same kid, come on I'll show you our room and then we can discuss things there in more detail". Ddawn nodded and silently followed the purple mage to where they would be staying, it was a decently large room with a small bookshelf in the far back. There was a desk filled with ton of books, papers and maps. "Not the cleanest but I live here" Jin said picking up the books on his desk.
Ddawn picked up on of the papers but couldn't read the large amount of scribbles on the blank sheet, "I think I was drunk while writing that" Jin said with a chuckle before stacking his work in a neat pile. "What are these papers" Ddawn asked throwing away the one in his hand, "Well I've been looking more into our history and found something that could benefit the army" Jin said cracking open one of the books. "It's called the tome of knowledge, it said to contain the history of minecraftia and was written by the god of knowledge himself" Jin said practically bouncing up and down with joy. "Hopefully if I find it, we can find something to defend ourselves against those dragons. I remember hearing stories of mages who would enhance warriors weapons so they can pierce ender dragon scales" he said now catching Ddawn's attention, "Iron and gold only scratch the surface of those armoured beast and not even diamond can do much damage to those dragons, so you can see how we have trouble with them". Ddawn mumbled something remembering Nightingale, "So far nature hasn't been much help since it hasn't rain in a while and were in the middle of summer so we can't use snow against them. Now do you see why we need this" Jin said. "Yeah I can see that this army is in pretty bad shape" he replied, "Then you understand. Sky says I shouldn't meddle with the gods and no one seems willing to help me search". "I guess since your my teacher I guess we can both search making Jin smile, "That was the plan kid, now enough talk. Let's go get you some armour fitted and then find something to eat". Ddawn chuckled, "Sure thing, as long as I don't look stupid". Jin held back a small laugh, "Love your spunk kid". Ddawn smiled lightly, this wasn't so bad. He could get use to this.

"How long has it been" Dashlie asked herself, "It's been about half a year since you arrived" Winter moon answered for her. "I was talking to myself" she said tying her white hair into a ponytail as the white warrior rolled his blue eyes, "Come to think about it I think your more than ready for the battlefield" Shadow said while Aqua have a thumbs up making Dashlie laugh. "Have any of you even seen battle" she asked, "Absolutely not" Eclipse said while Winter moon growled, "I've been in battle before" he yelled making the enderman roll his eyes. "You all don't have to wait long anyway", Winter moon looked up, "Oh Dark stripe are we going out soon" he asked. Dashlie looked up to see the large dark grey feline with pitch black paws and tiger stripes all over his body, his deep amber orange eyes showed no current emotion. "Yes we are ordered to go to the eastern front near the creeper kingdom, apparently someone sent a message to Ty and the dragon wants to go over there and check it out". Shadow tilted his head, "Isn't that kingdom neutral though". Dark stripe nodded, "the kingdom was originally ruled by one of Ty's friends named Martin, he ruled next to the wolves but one day they threw him out and imprisoned his friends". "Wow harsh" Eclipse said making everyone nod in agreement, "We plan to met with this Martin if he's serious on joining the moon army and soon we'll break out his wolf allies. That's where you all come in".
"Wait what" Dashlie almost yelled, "Once a breach is made in the wall you'll all head in and make your way to the dungeon, break the wolves out and stay alive" Dark stripe growled, "Can you apprentices do it". Winter moon stood up and nodded his maned head, "We'll accomplish it sir" he said making Dark stripe give one of his rare smiles, "Good get your armour and horses saddled, we leave in an hour". Dashlie felt the tension slowly vanish as the deputy walked out of the room, "our first mission and it's the most important" Shadow breathed out, "Try not to think about it" Dashlie said even though she was nervous as hell. Winter moon took a deep breath, "You heard Dark stripe Shadow take everyone else to get their armour, weapons and horses. I'll catch up with you, I have to do something real quick", "Whatever man" Shadow said not questioning the white feline. "We'll meet in the courtyard" he called as they all left for the armoury, "Try not to die out there guys" Shadow said to his teammates who all looked scared to death, other then Aqua. "I guess your here for your armour" Brook said, Brook was a wolf hybrid from the baka kingdom and was a master in smithing. "Duh you probably were heading out, so hurry up" shadow said as the wolf hybrid nodded. He first came back with their weapons, "Dashlie I sharpened your swords, a bonus from me. Sharpness and fire is a good combination. As for you Shadow, sharpness as wall".
"Thanks Brook" Dashlie said with a smile, "Your armour is over here if you follow me" he said leading the way to where he prepared their diamond and steel armour. "Thank you again Brook" Dashlie said, "It's my job now hurry before your all late" he said. Dashlie made sure her hair band was tight before armouring up, first came the chest and boots. Soon the helmet and gloves came on, Shadow had lighter armour since he'll overheat quickly in the summer from all his fur. Aqua wore light armour as well to increase his mobility while Eclipse wore obsidian armour, Winter moon being a proud warrior didn't wear any armour. "Nothing wrong, any adjustments need" Brook said making sure his armour was stable, "it's good brook" Eclipse said making the wolf hybrid sigh in relief. "Okay everything's good, let's go" Shadow yelled at Dashlie who rolled her eyes and ran after the bacca, this armour was surprising flexible and that is why Brook is a genius. "Where are you all off to" Dory asked seeing them run past him, he didn't get a response making him even more confused. Once at the stables Dashlie was surprised to see Dres with her horse, a white mare that she named Serena, "umm hey" Dashlie said awkwardly as Dres chuckled. They all haven't seen each other in a long while, "I just came here to say good luck" he said handing her the reins. Dashlie smiled, "Thank you". "Duni and Don wanted to come but Duni was busy with the wounded and Don left with Ty early this morning" Dres said as Dashlie climbed on top of her horse, "Try not to die". Dashlie chuckled, "I don't plan to".
Dres watched her ride off with her team before turning away and walking back to his post, he hopes Dashlie survives. He saw the wounded when he goes to visit Duni who seemed to have accepted his medic position, Don has also seen battles but he doesn't talk about them so he doesn't know what to expect. He and his squad are going to fort serina in the oceanic region, nerve racking as it is he signed up for this. This is all for Ddawn he thought, believing his brother was dead. "Dres you okay", the vampire looked over to see an enderman, he was named Star gazer and was put in his team a month ago. "I'm fine" he said making the enderman sigh, "Tiger claw says we have one hour before we leave with Iceberg" Stargazer said making Dres stretch his wings. "Let's go and get the others then" he said grabbing the enderman lightly by the hand making a deep purple blush spread across his tan skin, the vampire hid his amusement, Stargazer was known to get embarrassed easy and Jazz song teases them saying he only gets embarrassed around Dres. The vampire huffed softly at the thought, he'll think about this later.

"All of you wait here and don't attack without my command, Snow fur your in charge"
The pure white tom nodded as the dark grey tom bounded away, Dark stripe scanned his armies current position, hopefully those dragons can make a hole in the wall he thought seeing the large stone walls in the distance. "So mind I ask why they dethroned you Martin was it", "That is a long story that I will tell to the others not you cat" Martin said making Dark stripe growl. "You are talking to the deputy of the United clans, they sent me to take back your kingdom so be grateful that we are sending our army to help you. Especially since we heard about your ties with Sky", Martin gave a slight scoff. "I have no more ties with the king, after the first war he dragged my kingdom into he didn't give me the resources he promised to rebuilt it", "So I'm guessing that's why they dethroned you" Dark stripe replied making him nod. "Me and Simon did our best and after all we did all we get in return is a jail cell, I am the rightful heir of the throne not who ever they threw on the throne". The feline licked his claws lightly, "You humans gave a strange way of picking your leaders", "Like yours are even simpler". Dark stripe was about to say something till the sound of flapping wings made his ears prick up and look up to see a dragon circling them. "And that's our que, if you wish to fight stay near me human I don't want to waste my time taking this kingdom if you are dead" he said getting onto his paws, "Like I have anything to fight with" he said tossing Dark stripe a key, "Use it to get my allies out, they'll know once they see it".
Dark stripe picking up the key in his jaws before padding over and giving it to Dashlie who nodded in understanding. "Squadremnt A move with me, B squa stay in the middle and got engage unless absolutely necessary, C squadremnt stay at the rear. The rest of you protect the human king, now move out". A loud roar that could only belong to the dragon started the attack as Dashlie snapped the reins of her horse as Dark stripe gave a loud lion like roar before charging out of the brush with the others following him. The dragon squadremnts plan was easy to follow, make a hole in the wall and take out the archers, to easy. The opposing army who was ready for this attack charged on their generals orders, Dark striped jumped back as one of the five dragons dived down spitting out a large purple flame that stopped both armies from engaging each other. "Come on" Winter moon said to his team as they took this distraction to sneak away, Dark stripe nodded in as he and his army slowly moved a few feet back it'll take a lot of water and few hours for that fire to stop burning. Dashlie quickly abandoned her horse in the woods as they neared castle grounds, "okay Winter moon we need you to find something to cover your white fur, you stick out like a sore thumb" Shadow whispered making the warrior groan, unlike Dashlie who can hide her hair under her helmet the warrior needs to find something to hid his white fur.
Aqua pointed at a pubble of fresh mud from the heavy rain that occured last week, Winter moon gulped before counting his blessing and jumping in. Dashlie and the others stepped back as the large feline rolled around in the mud, caking his fur and cringing at the same time. "Okay that's good enough, I think" she said seeing his fur now a light brown with clumps of mud, "Ugh you smell" Shadow said as Winter moon glared at him. "Enough fooling around come on" Eclipse said as he found the crack in the castle wall they were looking for, Shadow and Winter moon had to be pushed in while everyone else managed to slip in without a problem. Dashlie was the last to slip in and she was surprised to find that the crack lead them down from the ground level to the lower level, Winter moon sniffed the air but stopped only smelling the horrible mud he was covered in, Shadow's sense of smell was also beyond useless now. "I'll make sure it clear" Eclipse said vanishing into a puff of purple dust, Aqua pulled out the map they were given and held it out for the others to been seen. "So we are in the storage area so we have to move to the armour, then brackets before getting to our destination" Dashlie said showing the way with his fingers, "We have a long hallway to go through, kinda risky". Shadow pointed out making Winter moon groaned, "okay we might need a discretion but what" he said making Dashlie think.
Dashlie held back a shriek as a rat ran under her legs, "Guys halls clear" Eclipse said as he teleported back. "Let's move" Winter moon creeping out of the room they were in and down the hall that was surprising empty, outside that dragons above the palace were circling their target. The lead dragon gave his orders before diving down with his team follow but instead of their usual tactic he landed in the courtyard bring instant panic to the human soldiers as the five dragons swiped at they, smoke coming from their jaws. The leader shot a purple fireball at the gate making part of the wall give away as another charged the wall but was stopped as a pair of chained wrapped around his left wing dragging him down to the floor, he yanked it away while his comrades rammed the wall causing it to fall under the large reptiles weight. The loud crash reached everyone's ears, both armies wasted no time as Dark stripe ordered a charge with the flick of his tail as the purple fire burned away. Both armies clashed but the dark warrior had other plans as he ducked under a soldiers mount and racked his claws over the horses under belly and dashed out before the horse collapse.
Winter moon growled hearing footsteps down the hall, "Dashlie, Shadow go" he growled as he turned down the hall to face the soldiers who spotted them. "Come on D" Shadow growled grabbing her arm and running down the hall, no point of stealth now. Winter moon looked at Eclipse and Aqua before nodding as the enderman nodded back and pushed the mute healer behind him as the feline snarled and charged the soldiers. He dodged the arrows that flew his way before pouncing at the nearest one, the leather armour didn't block the sharp claws that dug into the soldiers side. Eclipse quickly pulled out a bottle from his satchel. He pulled out the wooden cork with his teeth and dumping out the dark powder in his hands before blowing it at his enemies causing the hall way to fill with a thick black smog, Eclipse grabbed tightly onto Aqua making sure not to lose the squid healer. Winter moon had to blink his eyes a couple of times to rid them of the tears from the smoke before slashing his claws across his victims chest and jumping off allowing him to bled out. He scowled in pain feeling one of the other soldiers stab him with a spear, the warrior swiftly turned around before crashing into the narrow walls of the hall.
Normally anyone would be at a disadvantage but his high hearing and sight gave him a high advantage, Winter moon jumped back as the same soldier tried to stab him again but the warrior was prepare and grabbed the spear in his jaws and yanked it away dragging the soldier closer to him. He narrowed his eyes before slashing through his throat with his claws, he didn't mind the crimson blood staining his white and brown paws. Eclipse pulled his dagger out as the last soldier stumbled towards them and the enderman created a magically set of thorns to impale him. Winter moon painted lightly, more will be on their way now. Dashlie coughed a bit from the smoke but she didn't lose her grip on Shadow's hand, as they both rounded the corner the wolf like creature pulled his axe from his belt and threw it at the unlucky soldier, the axe landed in his soldier making him give a loud scream of pain but was more unprepared as Shadow pounced on him. Dashlie watched him wrestle with the soldier before pulling his axe from his shoulder and biting down on his exposed neck, the demon cringed at the loud snapping sound. Shadow spit out the chunk of flesh in his jaws, his usual black muzzle was stained with blood making Dashlie cringe a bit. But that didn't stop her from helping him up to his feet before Shadow sniffed the air trying to find a trace of wolf.
Both moon soldiers caught the sound of loud howling, "This way" Dashlie yelled pointing at the stairs that lead deeper into the palace. They down climbed down their and Shadow wasted no time on ramming the wooden door down, it fell from its old rusted hinges. Dashlie stepped over to the door and held her sword tightly before hearing a loud bark that belonged to canine. She found a row of cells that contained at least two large wolves, each as large as her feline allies or maybe even larger. Once they saw her they all started barking and pulling on the chains around their necks, Dashlie fished the key out of her pocket and unlocked the first cell that contained a pure white wolf who had a stripe of light orange down his muzzle. A large brown wolf next to her barked and pulled on his chains, Dashlie could see a collar with dark and light green stripes under the metal collar. "Listen can you understand me I'm gonna get you out" she said putting the key in one of the keyholes, the brown wolf snarled making Shadow growl back but his ears stood erect hearing more voice. "Oh crap hurry up Dashlie" he yelled getting into a fighting stance, Dashlie quickly started fumbling with the key in her hand and breathed deeply hearing a click and a clang of the collar coming of and falling to the floor. The white wolf shook the chains off as Dashlie started to unlock the brown wolf as two soldiers bursted in making Shadow snarl but as the chains of the brown wolf fell off he instantly ran out and tackled a soldier down making him scream.
He snarled loudly as the white wolf tackled the other one down, Shadow took a few steps back as the brown one bit the soldiers head with his strong jaws, Dashlie tried to focus on unlocking the other shackles but a sickening snapping sound was heard as the wolf tore off his enemies head and threw it in a random direction. Shadow gulped as the white one got off the dead soldier, soon Dashlie unlocked all the chains. There stood five large wolves, each looked at the two soldiers. Dashlie opened her mouth to stay something but was quickly shocked when the quiet wolf barked a look out as one of the previous thought dead soldiers lunged at her but a loud roar filled her ears as Winter moon appeared out of nowhere and pounced on the soldiers tearing his throat with his jaws. "No one messes with my team" he growled but stopped seeing the wolves, "Great your all out we need to move, I doubt Dark stripe can stale them for long" he said making the brown wolf nodded. "My name is Simon feline" the collar wearing wolf said his voice heavy and thick with a certain accent that Dashlie couldn't point out. "Thank you for saving me and my allies, this is my beta Baki" he said pointing out to the white orange muzzled wolf. "Umm your welcome" Dashlie said looking at the other wolf, one was a golden blonde, another a dark black, and a lit tanish wolf. "Let's save introductions for later please" Shadow said making the wolves growl at him, "Is he to be trusted" the golden blonde growled making Shadow cross his arms, "I risked my live to get you all out". Winter moon shook his head, "I doubt you heard but a few months ago Jerome joined the cause which explains Shadow's presence here but please I've trained with him for months so I believe he's trustworthy". The wolves whispered among each other till a large crash made their heads shot up, "We must escape, all of you climb on our backs" Simon said.
"Wait I still have allies waiting for me" Winter moon said, he told Eclipse and Aqua to stay put while he goes after Dashlie and Shadow, "Where are they" Baki asked. "In the hall near here" the warrior replied, Simon nodded at the tan and black wolf before they ran off, "Come on now we don't have all night". Dashlie nodded as she climbed onto the golden wolf while Shadow climbed on the one with the orange muzzle, "Hold on this could get bumpy" Simon said with a slight growl as they shot out into the hallway with Winter moon following close behind. Dashlie held her head low into the wolves fur as she felt the wind rush past her, once they dashed their way into the courtyard were most of the soldiers were in a full blown panic. Simon let out a loud howl making the soldiers freak out even more as the wolves weaved past the humans and out the broken wall, once Dark stripe heard the howl he yowled for his army to fall back into the trees. Dashlie lifted her head up once she felt the wind settle down, "Thank you" she said climbing off the alpha wolf. "Rookies, are you all okay" Dark stripe said walking up to them, "So your Dark stripe" Simon said making the feline nod. "Simon, I believe someone wants to see you. Rookies get rest and go to the medically bay. Follow me wolves" the grey feline said padding away with the pack following him. "We survived our first mission" Eclipse said with a satisfied smile and Aqua smiled back, "Winter moon thank you for saving my butt" Dashlie said making the feline purr lightly. "I was just doing my job".
Dashlie saw the blood staining his fur, "Winter your bleeding, shouldn't you let Aqua patch you" she said making the feline look at his fur. "This isn't mind blood" he replied but Aqua pointed a fresh wound on his side, "There's a stream nearby we can get you guys cleaned up there" Dashlie said leading the way for her team, Eclipse stayed away from the water since everyone knows what water does to enderman. Shadow took off his gauntlets and scooped up some water in his paws and used it to wash the blood off his muzzle, Winter moon jumped into the stream making Eclipse jump back with a hiss as the water sighed in relief of the cool water. He climbed out and shook his fur making Dashlie backup, the mud and blood was now gone from his now pure white fur. Aqua took his backpack and walked up to the lion like feline, he can clearly see the others injury now. Winter moon sat down letting Aqua treat his wound, "Again I can't thank you enough for saving me" Dashlie said making Winter moon chuckle, "It's my job Dashlie" he said making her laugh softly. Eclipse whispered something to Shadow making the bacca push the enderman lightly, once Aqua finished treating the wound he patted Winter's head as a thank you making him purr lightly. Winter moon held out a paw and Dashlie took it and they both did a strange hand shake before Dashlie hugged him not bothered by his wet fur, Winter moon purred as she rubbed his head, the white warrior lifted his head and licked her check making her turn red and Shadow and Eclipse snicker. She quickly pulled back, "Whoops sorry" the warrior said as he began walking back to camp, "That's all whoops" Shadow joked following him and soon everyone went back to camp.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Glad you have you back Simon" Martin said hugging his bulgarian wolf ally, "I'm just glad your not" he replied hugging back in a way. "We will need some rest before we can return to our human forms" Baki said to the feline deputy who nodded, "We have food and skilled medics, get rest and food if needed. We leave at first morning light if your fit to travel" Dark stripe said. "I believe we are fit to travel Dark and thank you again" Martin said making the warrior chuckle, "Your our ally now, once we return you will speak with the rest now rest up, we have a long journey ahead of us". The feline walked out of the tent, Simon licked Martin's nose making him chuckle, "I missed you too puppy" he joked rubbing his head making the wolves tail wag. "Now let's do what the cat suggested go to sleep" Baki said seeing the rest of his allies asleep on the floor, "You better not have fleas" Martin said lying near Simon as the wolf laid down. "Maybe I do, maybe not" he joked laying his head on his paws before yawning. Martin petted his head again, one more addition to the already large moon army.
