Chapter 11 The fortress was in sight. Dren and Zenotar stared at the fortress, waiting for something to happen. When nothing happened, they decided to wing it. Dren drew his sword, and pushed open the door. The guards attcaked them with out mercy. On of the shouted,"You killed our commander!" The group fought them. It toke a couple of hours to kill them all, but they eventaly feel. The group went into the fortress. It was like the other two. The prisoners were all in one room. When the prisoners were free, they asked qustions about Berix and his fortresses. An old drow, he looked older than 12, came up. He wore torn up rags instead of clothes. He said,"Berix needs these fortresses." Dren asked,"Why?" The drow told them, once Dren unroled the map,"That fortress,"he pointed to the big one,"is his main one. It flys." "How?"Ter asked. "Each fortress has been enchanted. These four fortresses,'He pointed out the other four,"make the main one fly, unless their comanders are killed." "Like the man in black armor?"Zenotar askeed."And the one in silver armor?" "Exactly,"he replied."How many fortresses have you faught, and how many comanders have you killed?" "Three fortresses, two comanders,"Dren stated. "I see. He is keeping one safe." "What do we do then?"12 asked. "You go for this base,"he pointed to the one farthest away. "Then what will happen?"Dren asked. "Berix will come to you." "Then lets go,"47 stated. "Wait!" Some one came up in torn clothes. She had long black hair, pale skin, and emerald eyes. She said,"Allow me to join you." Ter, 12 and 47 looked puzzeled. Dren looked at her and said,"Can you fight?" She pulled out a small axe and said,"What do you think?" Dren asked,"What do you have against Berix?" She smiled,"He killed my father. He was all I had, and Berix killed him." "Gather some supplies and you can join us."Dren walked away. An hour later, after everyone gathered some more supplies, they got ready to leave. The girl came up. She had tied her hair back, showing pointed ears. She was an elf. She had changed out of the torn clothes into iron battle-armor, axe strapped to her side. On her back was a pack full of supplies. They left. Berix was angered that he couldn't see what was happening to them. When Zenotar ripped out his eye, he lost contact with the body. The girl in gold armor carried in Venderel. Venderel looked even worse than the last time Berix had her brought to him. Her face was swolen in multible places. she had bruises all over her arms and legs. Along with cuts on her sides. She laughed at Berix."You will not stop them Berix. Drender will come, and i will be free." Berix slapped her across the face."Quiet whelp." "Master?"the girl asked. "Ready the fortress to fly. Were going for my last fortress,"was his reply. The girl bowed and left. Berix chained Venderel to the wall. Venderel didn't bother fighting. He strength gave out a few days ago. She both hated and felt sorry for Berix. He woul die so soon. The group set up camp. The elf said,"My name is Elender. pleased to meet you all." They all introduced themselfs to Elender. Once they were all introduced, Ter said,"Elender, would you mind if I called you Elen?" "Thats no problem at all Ter." They continued to talk for the following hour until the food was ready. When they finished eating, all but 47, 12 and Elen went to bed. 47 kept watch over the camp, since demons don't sleep that much. 12 and Elen were talking about what their lives were like before Berix captured them. 12 had lived with his borther and father. They were enjoying a fine feast with their friends. Berix came to the feast and killed everyone, except 12. Elen had lived with her father all her life. She and her father were traveling to a new country. On their way, Berix stopped them, faught them, toke her, and left her father for dead. She knew her father was dead. Berix showed her his body two years after she was taken. They continued talking until the sun came up. Elen felt happy when she was with 12. 12 felt the same. When the sun rose, they woke the others. They traveled for twelve hours, eating while walking, until the sun had set. They had covered so much ground that day. They went to sleep after eating, except Elen and 12. Even 47 slept that night. They talked about many things. They talked about what made thme feel happy. All was going well. 12 said, after a few hours of talking,"Another thing that makes me happy is being with you." Elen blushed. That statement made her feel a bit embarised. 12, realizing what he said, said,"I'm sorry if I said something wrong." Elen replied,"No, its no problem at all. you just surprized me." 12 starteed laughing. Elen blushed and joined in laughing. They continued to talk until the other woke up. The group did the same thing for the next eight days. They would travel for twelve hours each day. They would camp after they traveld far enough. They would eat a small dinner. then sleep. Except Elen and 12. They talked the night away. After eleven days of traveling, they reached a small ridge. The fortress was in sight. They traveled a great distance in such a short time. They set up camp, and ate up a good meal for the battle to come. That night, the group slept. Elen woke up in the middle of the night, to see 12 starring over the ridge. Elen was wearing a silk night dress. It made her look even more beautiful than before. She went up to 12. 12 looked at her and smiled,"So i'm not the only one not sleeping." Elen blushed and said,"I woke up not that long ago." 12 laughed. Elen blused when he laughed. 12 then said,"You look beautiful Elen." She blused so hard, you could swear she was angry. She looked to the ground, heart racing, and said,"Your kind. I'm not that beautiful comparec to most." 12 grabbed her hand and said,"Maybe not on the outside, but on the inside, your more beautiful than anyone else." Elen pulled her hand free and backed away, heart racing faster than ever. 12 looked surprized. Elen, when she was herself again, went up to 12 and said,"Your words are like poetry to my heart.' 12 blushed. "I have a question,"she asked."Do you love me?" 12 was at a lose for words. He had to stop and think over the past few days. When he found what he was looking for, he said,"I do. I love you Elender." She smiled and said,'As do I 12." She looked him in the eyes, and kissed him. 12 closed his eyes enjoying this moment, hoping it would never end. Berix was in his throne, watching the ground move under him. His flying fortress was only a days jorney from the last fortress. Armys from the other fortresses were heading in the direction of the last fortress. They meet together only the day before. The giant force would be at the last fortress in only a few hours. This would be the last battle aganst Berix.
