End of part 2

THE COLD CITY WHERE THE LIGHT NEVER SHINES.

Apostolos stepped forward so he was looking over the wall at the forest bellow him he eased his hand up to his thick beard as he eyed the soldiers who were watching the walls. “Anything?” The first looked over the wall. “Nothing general, there has not been any movement all night.” Apostolos felt a cold sneer form. “They’re toying with us.” He adjusted his horsehair helmet. “The bastards always try to come over our walls…” He looked up eyeing the full moon which was high up the sky its white light streaming through the clouds. “There bound to come any time now.” He folded his arms feeling the frustration hit home. “Where in Tartarus are my reinforcements!” He slammed his fist down hard on the stone. “I need them!”

He watched as is his second in command walked up the steps towards the wall shaking his head. “There’s been no word general.” Apostolos grunted aloud. “This is second time! We have already lost our first unit of reinforcements to those filthy disgusting beasts!” He watched as his second in command looked away. “Maybe these reinforcements will make it through.” He turned looking at the town bellow which was quite the only noise that could be heard was being made by the soldiers who were stamping their boots bellow as they patrolled the city. “The Amazon group made it here and so did the Centaurs.” Apostolos looked up slightly. “Yes they did and they’ve been helpful but there’s only so much they can do and we need more man power!”

He turned hearing sharply hearing the distant sound of stomping hooves, it was faint but he could make it out. He turned watching as the soldiers spun in to action grabbing their spears and swords while others pulled back their bows getting ready to fire. He narrowed his gaze watching as a horse came in to view he couldn’t really make out the shape of the rider that well. He breathed in deeply, waiting until the person got closer got closer, he tapped his fingers on the stone as a light coloured horse came fully in to view on its back were three people. The rider who looked female had hold of the reins sitting in front of her was another girl who looked like she was about to pass out. While on the back was a tired soldier, he raised his sword slowly getting ready to make a signal, he wasn’t stupid he knew full well that his enemy liked to play tricks.
