A cultist desperately ran up to a man in crimson and gold robes sitting on a throne. The leader of the group...
"Sir!" The soldier exclaimed. "A paladin, a magician, and a mechanical knight have broken into our palace! We mu-"
The door suddenly bust open, Ove, Astra, and Essy stood in its wake.
"Get your fellow men." The man said. "I will handle them."
The soldier ran off, and the man stood from his throne. He readied his magic.
"You will pay for disrespecting our lord and injuring our fellow cultists." The man said. "However, your pain will make up for your crimes..."
"Alright, we get it, you're edgy!" Essy said.
"Hush, child!" The man said angrily. "You know nothing abo-"
The man was suddenly slashed from the back, he turned and shot a bolt of lightning, but he saw nobody there, he suddenly was slashed again on his back leg. He fell onto his knee and pulled out a dagger, he spun his blade around in a circle around him, Astra lunged back and blocked with her spear. The man shot another blast of lightning at Astra, she narrowly dodged.
Suddenly Essy lunged at the man and her blade arms clashed against his dagger, throwing them into a a power struggle.
Astra slashed at the man's back once more and he fell to his knees, but still managed to maintain his strength. Suddenly, a crackle of electricity ran throughout the room. A bright light ran up to the tip of Oves wand and grew brighter, and brighter.
"Shi-"
The man was blasted with a powerful beam, even more so than the one he had cast before...
Before anyone could comprehend what was happening, the man was sitting in a crater on the castle floor. They had actually defeated him.
"Yeah!" Astra said as she stuck her arms in the air.
"TAKE THAT B*TCH!" Essy said as she flipped off the man in the crater.
"I... I did it!" Ove said, shocked. "I DID IT!!!"
Ove jumped up and hugged Astra with glee.
"I will... not..." The man muttered. "LOSE TO CHILDREN!"
The man stood a charged up the last of magical energy, and shot the dagger towards them...
Right towards Ove.
Ove looked towards the quickly approaching blade. He tried to step out of the way, but...
Slash.
