He
knew
this
was
something
Alex
had
put
together
and
the
vampires
had
been
created
by
Alex
because
he
had
seen
some
of
the
fallen
vampires
turn
to
stone
,
but
he
still
felt
a
need
to
rescue
her
because
it
was
his
fault
anyone
else
had
been
there
.
He
landed
just
outside
the
cave
he
saw
the
vampires
go
into
.
He
closed
his
eyes
and
created
a
large
army
of
wooden
winged
men
.
He
gave
them
weapons
of
stone
mostly
some
he
gave
bows
and
arrows
too
.
He
took
flight
again
and
led
his
army
into
the
cave
and
smashed
into
one
of
the
guards
,
killing
it
because
of
the
momentum
behind
the
hit
.
He
landed
and
kept
running
.
He
followed
the
long
cave
as
it
descended
deep
into
the
mountain
,
fighting
as
he
went
.
The
vampires
had
put
torches
in
the
walls
so
they
could
see
.
He
fought
his
way
into
a
room
and
saw
Bryn
on
the
ground
with
two
vampires
guarding
her
.
Tom
quickly
destroyed
them
and
shook
Bryn
.
He
heard
fighting
just
outside
the
room
so
he
picked
her
up
and
ran
out
.
His
army
was
struggling
to
push
the
vampires
back
.
Each
side
losing
many
warriors
.
He
knew
they
were
made
of
dirt
and
stone
so
he
closed
his
eyes
and
made
many
of
the
vampires
explode
,
most
the
enemy
force
was
still
alive
,
but
he
had
destroyed
many
of
them
.
He
ran
through
the
path
he
created
and
soon
was
behind
his
line
.
His
army
followed
him
as
they
escaped
the
vampires
'
lair
.
Bryn
started
waking
as
they
flew
back
to
the
fort
.
The
warriors
he
created
were
fighting
the
enemies
that
were
still
chasing
them
.
When
they
landed
Bryn
was
awake
“
What
happened
?
All
I
remember
is
dozens
of
vampires
attacking
then
nothing
.”
she
asked
.
Tom
told
her
what
had
happened
since
the
attack
.
Suddenly
Alex
appeared
at
the
gate
and
Tom
motioned
to
let
him
in
.
Alex
walked
in
and
sat
on
a
chair
next
to
the
fire
. “
I
was
surprised
you
went
after
the
vampires
so
quickly
,
even
if
they
took
Bryn
.
Well
,
it
just
gets
harder
from
here
.
I
just
came
to
warn
you
and
teach
you
a
new
spell
.”
Alex
said
,
Tom
'
s
and
Bryn
'
s
eyes
widened
. “
Harder
!?
How
can
it
get
harder
?”
Tom
asked
.
Alex
smiled
evilly
“
It
can
,
trust
me
,
it
can
get
much
harder
and
it
will
.”
Alex
answered
,
Alex
taught
Tom
the
spell
and
walked
out
the
gate
.
The
spell
helped
him
control
metal
so
he
could
make
better
weapons
.
Tom
quickly
created
a
new
axe
,
knife
and
shield
for
himself
and
made
some
new
arrows
,
a
knife
and
short
sword
for
Bryn
.
They
each
went
to
their
huts
to
rest
for
the
upcoming
challenges
.
In
the
morning
Tom
made
some
metal
weapons
for
the
flying
warriors
and
put
wings
on
the
ones
without
.
As
Tom
walked
to
the
middle
of
the
fort
for
lunch
he
heard
a
strange
sound
and
looked
around
.
A
guard
suddenly
yelled
and
pointed
,
seconds
before
a
large
stone
smashed
into
the
walls
.
He
ran
up
stairs
to
one
of
the
towers
.
Another
stone
smashed
into
the
walls
as
Tom
got
to
the
top
.
He
saw
a
group
of
bandits
big
enough
to
attack
a
large
town
,
or
a
fort
.
They
had
archers
,
infantry
,
cavalry
and
siege
weapons
.
A
catapult
sent
a
large
rock
flying
at
the
fort
and
Tom
blasted
it
apart
.
A
different
rock
hit
the
gate
and
it
gave
way
.
The
bandits
surged
forward
and
Tom
'
s
archers
,
led
by
Bryn
,
fired
.
Tom
glided
down
to
the
ground
where
his
warriors
stood
waiting
.
Tom
block
the
entrance
with
rocks
and
he
and
his
warriors
flew
out
of
the
fort
.
Tom
destroyed
the
walkway
across
the
moat
and
dove
down
at
the
enemy
.
