Seeing Inno's injured leg, I wish to avoid direct contact with the Ogre's. I signal up at the boulder, "While I don't have the strength to push it allow, I believe that the three of us together might be able to move it and take out that Ogre in one fell swoop!" Still a bit wary of the wayward lion, I start off towards the boulder. As I climb I feel a growing fear for my fellow knights. Five departed for these caves and yet, despite our sidetrack, we are the only two here.

(Could I have a ping for the next game...? >:3)

I nods at Ash. I think it is a wise idea. I nudge the lion I am currently riding toward the boulder. We could move that boulder with teamwork, I muse as I look around. I am not liking the fact it is just Ash and I. What has happened to Zeo, Kada and Jack? Were they all killed? Did they get sidetracked?

As the two of them try to budge the boulder before waiting for the Ogre king, they notice 2 sylestis assisting them. One is a small lupora while the other is a adult zolnixi. They both seem to have a will to help the two humans, and try their best t to move the boulder.



Before long, both of you hear a movement, and look uneasily from the boulder slowly. The ogre is coming out! However, he has a helmet on, which is made out of metal and steel. It seems nearly a big as the boulder, which could prevent the two knights from knocking him out.

You need a decoy, but the balloon Innocent received it long gone, popped by the lion and the flower bouquet was given to a female ogre Ash had received. You can either ask one of your sylestis you earned through out the journey or use of yourselves as a decoy. However, this means that there could be serious consequences. Being the decoy could mean being killed, by the ogre or along with it and using the sylesti has the same consequences. Which choice do you choose?

@Ash,
@Innocentwings,

I spots the adult Zolnixi and the young Lupora. I picks up the small wolf and cuddle it close. My face pales as I look up at the big ogre. I mumbles some colorful obscenities then I sighs and nudge the lion I am riding forward, I hold my pup close to my chest.

"Ash, please go on ahead. I will be a decoy with this young Lupora. I will be of no use once we push this boulder off the cliff. I have an injury. Serious one at that. If it is not treated soon, I will die. Ash, I do not think I can survive for very long so I must do this. Forgive me" I speak softly to Ash then I look up at the ogre.

"Kind sir, will you assist us in pushing this boulder over? We must rescue Their Majesties. Surely there must be a reason you ogres attacked the castle and took Their Majesties? Surely you can help us out on our journey? If not then at least, please kill me and spare my fellow knight Ash. I humbly ask this of you, Oh Great Ogre" I speak, hoping to stall long enough for Ash to escape or get boulder off the cliff and onto the King Ogre.

The young Lupora in my arms simply turns on its signature rresistable adorable puppy look

Taken aback and humbled by Inno's bravery, I am filled with a newfound determination. With a quick pat on the wild Zolnixi's head I urge him to hurry along with me. I glace back a moment and watch Inno and her wolf cub taking off in the other direction, and pray that luck will be with them. Focused on the task at hand, the Zolnixi and I get ourselves into position, ready to take make full use of the advantage Inno have given.

As the female knight acts as a decoy, the ogre takes note that one of the legs are gone. He had not eaten a human for a few centuries, and doesn't seem to be listening to the words the tiny humans spout out. However, he feels slightly agitated now that one of the people try and reason with an almighty being such as himself, and quickly kills her in one fell swoop. The courteous knight dies, in one of the most bravest and knightly-est way possible.

Ash uses his chance and pushes the boulder with all his might, the nixi assisting him. After a few minutes, where as the ogre has finished throwing the knight's corpse away, the boulder finally budges and manages to head straight at the ogre. The monster only reacts a second too late, and it's face is smashed by the boulder as it looked up. You rush over to the king and queen and explain how he is the last to survive, and that his other friend bravely sacrificed herself for the sake of the royal kingdom. Congratulations! You have won the game, and saved the kingdom! Please look at this free picture of succession : D.
