"Die you assholes!" Ian swung his double-bladed axe in a roundhouse arc, and managed to relieve a goblin of his head, the arm of the orc standing beside it, and a couple of hairs from his friend Ephraim.

Ephraim ducked under an overhead cut, and his own katana blade licked out and opened his attacker's throat before leaping back to berate Ian.

"Oi, Ian! Watch where you're hitting lah! Can you stop swinging like an idiot anot, hah?"

Ian grinned sheepishly. "Paiseh lah, Ephraim. I was too engrossed with these guys."

Frammie gave him a dark look. "Yah, but does that give you the right to come and chop my head off?"

Ian shrugged. Suddenly a great shadow covered him. He turned and he saw a huge black dragon soar above the fortress, and immediately his heart was filled with fear.

"Shit...One of the Black Flight!" Ephraim yelled. Ian only knew them all too well. They radiated a demonic aura that supported their armies but struck unholy terror into the hearts of righteous men, especially those against them.

Right now, he was pretty much still okay. If the dragon descended around to ten or twenty feet more, he would probably be shivering uncontrollably. And if it continued to come closer, he would soon release his bladder.

Or maybe not. The term "scared peeless" seemed to apply to him now.

A moment later, a bright explosion of light rocked the area, and it continued to shine, illuminating the area for miles. Fortunately, his vision was miraculously unaffected and his heart suddenly seemed to soar with courage, hope and strength. The dragon screamed, and it turned back towards the Burning Mountains. Then he realised what happened.

"The Lightbringer." Ephraim remarked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Ian laughed and shook his head. However, he saw that when the dragon had appeared, several of the men had been overwhelmed and knocked down.

Ian and Ephraim were now the only conscious ones on the left side of the wall, and now around nine orcs were on both sides of them, trapping them in a pincer attack. The backs of the two friends met, and there they remained, back-to-back. Each raised their weapons and waited.

Then the orcs charged.

And now I shall say what I think of my poor bro's situation.
