The group took what they felt was the best positions. They all heaved a heavy sigh, wishing they had more help ( namely Lytra, Danidar, and Morgan ). Gramp's looked over to Ophyllia. No amount of apprentice training would prepare anyone for the battle they were now getting into.
" Ophyllia, I got an idea that may help us beat ‘M' . The rest of you work on the monsters, I'll try to hold ‘M' in a spell until you're all done. Then you can all fight ‘M' at the same time "
" But gramp's, what if your spell doesn't hold ‘M' ??"
" Let's not think about that. "
Bart and Razor snuck to the top of a near by hill an hide behind a couple of rocks. TymeKeeper took a position in a tall tree so he could see everything, this would also help serve as a lookout just in case ‘M' tried an attack on the parties flank. Gramp's looked into the crystal on his staff again and cast an invisibility spell. Ohpyllia retraced he steps that she had used to spy on ‘M's forces. She was to give the signal to attack at the time it looked best.
They were all ready. Ohpyllia noticed that ‘M' had taken the trolls and gnorc's to the back of his armies. This would be the best time she could think of. She turned around to whistle to the others when she saw a bright light came screaming in, and three people appeared. Gramp's , being the closest, was startled.
" WHA, WHA, who are you,, oh it's you Lytra and Danidar and MORGAN. "
Gramps ran to his granddaughter and hugged her.
" Thought I'd never see you again. "
" Were have you been ??"
Lytra filled the others in quickly in her finding Morgan and Danidar. She explained that she found she had the special ability to travel at lyte speed so she was able to catch up to them fast.
" Hey you guys, ‘M' saw that light. Reenact the reunion later, we need to move Now ! "
With that they all took their positions again with Morgan teaming up with Ohpyllia so she could get close to ‘M' so her and Gramps could trap him. Lytra and Danidar joined Razor and Bart. The optimal time to attack was gone, now they would have to take their chance. ‘M's army was moving closer, Ohpyllia gave the whistle. Bart and Razor both let out a yell and ran down the hill waving weapons in the air like mad berserkers. Morgan stood up and began an onslaught of arrows. Ophyllia laid low, she would have too keep down if she was going to sneak up behind anyone in the middle of the fight.
The Big fight had begun. Ohpyllia saw Rasor and Bart run into a large mob of ‘M's army and then lost the two in all the dust. What looked like a hundred Gnorc's went running up the mountain strait at Danidar and TymeKeeper. She couldn't tell were gramps was. Then she saw ‘M' get closer to were her and Morgan had taken position. Morgan dropped her bow and ran at him with a ring in her out stretched hand.
" Lets hope Gramps is on the other side of him, we have to end this battle now, and stopping ‘M' may be the only way. "
Morgan got into the proper spot for the spell to work but nothing happened. Gramps was not on the other side of ‘M'. She looked in to the devilish eyes of the demon ‘M' and wished now that she had brought her bow along, but it was too late. She too was knocked down by the mob of ‘M' armies before she could turn around, and Ohpyillia lost sight of her also. It was then Ohpyllia heard a pair of foot steps behind her.
" Well, if it ain't my true love, Miss Ohpyllia Wymsy ! Now what's a sweetheart like you, doing in a dump like this ?"
Funny she thought, that sounded like an old Bob Dylan tune. But turning around she noticed it was that creep Warder Spindelshakes. He grabbed her and shook her.
" WAKE UP OHPY, WAKE UP "
Something didn't sound right about that statement. She opened an eye too look again.
" Wake up ! "
She looked again. There starring down at her was the long forgotten face of Flower instead of Warder. She noticed that she was in her bed, back at her outhouse. And old Bob Dylan song left playing on the stereo.
" We won ?? "
" Won what ?? "
" The battle with ‘M'. Did we win ?? "
" I don't know about any battle with any ‘M'. But you definitely lost the battle of the booze. Judging by the 10 empty flask of dwaven ale you left lying around, girlfriend you must have one serious hangover. "
Flower handed Ohpyllia a coffee cup filled with some syrupy looking stuff.
" Take this, it'll help so you don't get sick. "
Ohpyllia drank the stuff and started to feel better. Gradually her memory came back. She remembered celebrating Tippelfestmas. She had gone home and feel asleep. Now the events all came back to her.
Ophyllia filled Flower in on what had happend up untill the time she was awoken. Flower was shaken by the events, but asured Ohpyllis that none of those thing really happens and she must have just thought them up.
" You mean I dreamed the whole thing ??"
" Ophy, you've been out cold for two days. "
" So that means everybody's OK. Torner is still alive, and Danidar, and Gramps and Morgan, and the others ?? They're all fine ?? No one was killed ?? "
" Who ?? "
" The others that were trying to defeat ‘M'. But they were all killed. "
Flower went over the Ohpyllia's closet.
" Girlfriend, the only thing that ever was killed around here was those 10 flasks of ale, and your sense of fashion. "
" Yeah, I guess I must have dreamed them up too."
Ohpyllia's heart sank. Somehow it had all seamed too real for her, and now knowing that it wasn't just made her feal more convused then was normale for her. Flower looked at Ohpyllia. She seemed quite depressed. There must be some way to cheer her up. She noticed the moon shaped cutout on the door and got an idea.
" Hey Ophyllia, let's go to Tiny's. I think you need some new curtains."
