//------------------------------// // Siege on the Castle // Story: Pony and the Yak // by Majestical4729 //------------------------------// Meanwhile, in the yak's castle... "I can't believe it, we were so close..." Gallus sighed. "At least her majesty did the right thing," Silverstream told the griffon, placing her claw on his shoulder. "But, he will come back, he said he will!" Ocellus reminded, trying to cheer every creature up. "May I remind you that he said that he will come back, if he could?!" Smolder corrected. "Hey, I see some lights down there!" Gallus announced to the others, when he saw the torches that Cozy Glow's army was holding. "IS it Sandbar?!" Silverstream asked. "Is he coming back?!" Ocellus added, rushing to the window. The four creatures gasped when they had a clearer view of the approachers. "That's not Sandbar!" Smolder pointed out. "And I don't think they're anything like him!" Silverstream cried out. "They look more like invaders!" Gallus commented in shock. "And look! The one leading them has got the magic mirror that her majesty gave Sandbar!" Ocellus pointed a hoof at Cozy Glow. The creatures all gasped in unison once again. "What do you think she has done to him?!" Silverstream asked. "Nothing good I presume," Smolder answered. "Uh, every creature? They're getting closer!" Gallus reminded his friends about the upcoming threat. "I'll tell her majesty!" Silverstream told her friends, before racing off. "And we'll get every creature ready to hold these invaders off!" Gallus added, before he, Ocellus and Smolder spliced up. "Take whatever booty you can find," Cozy Glow told her army, "But remember, the yak is mine!" Inside the castle, the castle servants, griffons, hippogriffs, dragons, changelings, kirins and buffalos all raced to the castle entrance, which was being banged on by a huge log that Cozy Glow's army had obtained from cutting down a huge, tall tree on their way to the castle. "Don't just stand here every creature, we got to stop them!" Gallus instructed, leading the servants to block the door. Meanwhile, Silverstream reached Yona's room where the yak was sadly looking out the window. "Your majesty!" the hippogriff cried. "Just leave Yona in peace." Yona sadly responded. "But, your majesty, the castle! Your castle! It's under attack!" Silverstream informed in a panicked tone. Back at the doors outside the castle, Cozy Glow's army was still banging it with the log, gradually breaking their way in. "This is not working!" Smolder informed every creature, as they struggled to resist the force of their opponents. "But if this won't work, what will?!" Ocellus cried. "Wait a second, I know!" Gallus told the others. In Yona's room... "What?!" Silverstream asked Yona, "You can't be serious!" "Just let them in! Yona doesn't care about anything now..." Yona sadly said, feeling like nothing without Sandbar.
