More calvary come through the portal. Two soldiers come rush over and attempt to constrain Zaden. Zaden gets up and swings his long sword at the two soldiers. More soldiers join and Zaden is completely surrounded by the enemy. The fight continues but Zaden is quickly overtaken and succumbs. His sword drops to the ground. Zaden is on his knees and is being held down by several soldiers. He is breathing heavily. Another soldier walks up and cuffs Zaden on his hands and feet.
His wolf battered and bruised from fighting, Tering is taking away in a put into a cage.
The archers are coming through and then the foot soldiers. The generals come through the portal and last is the Dark Lord himself. Zaden is moving trying to break his chains but now he is too exhausted.
The army’s attack is swift. The city of Flemery is quickly overtaken with fire. Civilians are being killed in the streets of the city. The opposing army of the sixth realm sends their dragons and several air battles takes place.
Two opposing dragons clash in mid air and bite each other falling out of the air. Arrows are flying everywhere and fire is burning down buildings.
Zaden is stood up and escorted to a cage. He is thrown into a cage and the door is locked. Zaden gets up and rushes to the door and shakes the bars.
VICTORY
Zaden watches helplessly from his prison cage. A white flag is flown above the city fortress. The Dark Army drops their weapons and cheers in victory.
The remaining soldiers of the opposing army are taken prisoners. They are escorted and chained then escorted into cages.
The Dark Lord emerges and he watches the scene. He watches as his soldiers cheer in elation. The dead are left to rot in the streets. As he stands and watches he turns his head to look at Zaden. He locks eyes with him for a moment then walks off. Zaden shakes the bars of his cage.
Zaden’s cage begins to move and he is being wheeled to an unknown location with hundreds of other prisoners. The horses pull the train of cages down a trail. Foot soldiers walk aside making sure no one escapes.
“That's the gatekeeper,” one soldier says. “I’m surprised he wasn’t killed,” says the other soldier. “The Dark Lord wants plenty of prisoners to build his tower. We don’t know too much about it’s rumored to be some sort of weapon of mass destruction,” says the first soldier.
Zaden is perplexed by hearing this news. What could he be building? If it is a weapon what could it be and what could it do?
The caravan stops.
