The arrow whistled as it travelled through the air and directly pierced the spot in between the eyes of the centipede. Like he intended, it didn’t stop but still pierced two more centipedes nearby. The guards looked and see the son of the village chief, they didn’t know he was such a good archer. Killed three birds with one stone( or in this case, three centipedes ) “Clear a way for him” A high ranking guard ordered the others. Someone could finally do something, who were they to distract him! The guards in front of kulin changed position and either went left or right. Kulin drew another arrow and placed it on his bow. One eye closed and target locked, he fired again. This time it pierced not one or two or three but five centipede’s. “wooo!” The guards cheered. One of them threw his spear in excitement and it surprisingly penetrated another centipede. “use your spears!” The high ranking guard ordered seeing what had happened. The guards beat their chests as a sign of approval and immediately started throwing their spears at the centipedes like they were athletes at the Olympic javelin games. A group of men in whit decorated armor arrived at the gates. There were about fifty of them. Each with his own weapon and a stage type of equipment attached to their waists. In a matter of seconds, they had set up a high group which the they climbed on to with ladders. “Brave disciples of lykeson. Today you lay your lives to defend what is yours. Today you shall prove yourselves to be worthy of his teaching. Aim!” a ginger haired man with a brutish look and rough beards spoke to the group. “it’s commander granger!” The guards looked in awe at the man as he gave his speech. This was the commander of the white waterfall brigade. The most elite group in the village. The members of the waterfall saluted and with fierce expressions many of them dived from on high directly at the crawling centipedes, While the others remained on the platform. Commander granger dived with the rest as he held his heavy sword and slashed. The sword looked like it was making an opening in space as it fluctuated and force manifested itself in the form of a huge tidal wave that flooded the lot as commander granger landed. The guards cheered the waterfall group on as they brought destruction and terror to the battlefield. The once imposing centipedes were now being slaughtered like defenless sheep. General granger was the most destructive of them all, his years of training and experience was no joke. The numbers of the centipedes slowly but surely reduced. As general granger Killed, he wondered what had happened for the centipedes to be so provoked…even the queen was here. Since the time of kulin the great, nothing like fhis had ever occurred. “Die!” He spun himself around in a circle steering up an air of dust around him. He was like a tornado! “Waterfall; Tornado form!” The general granger voice rang from inside the tornado. The sand around him gradually got wet and soon they were overshadowed by water. The tornado got bigger than ever and started travelling though the battlefield. Decimating any creature in its way. “Join me!” general granger spoke from the travelling tornado. “Waterfall; Tornado form!” The rest of the waterfall members roared in unison as dust was raised in multiple areas. The dusts turned into water and got larger just like granger’s. As the tornados travelled around the battlefield, a beautifully strange scene came into view. The waterfall member were too strong! Kulin had unrealisingly stopped firing his bows as he took in the display of strength the waterfall group dished out. “hey boy, get on here!” one of the waterfall members on the platform spoke to kulin. Kulin looked around for a moment before pointing at himself “Me?” he said. “Yeah, you’re an archer right? Come on here and join us” the woman said to him as she threw him a bow. Kulin caught it and sampled it, damn! It was od a higher quality than his bow! He dropped his previous bow and was about to take the arrows when the woman stopped him saying “you won’t need it” as she said that, she fired a blue colored arrow. It made a loud sound as it left her bow. As the arrow travelled though the air, its appearance gradually changed. The tip of the arrow began freezing and the ice spread to its whole body. Before kulin knew what was happening, it had turned into a massive icicle. It landed on the battlefield and the wet grass around freezed. The ice spread covering about five metres until it stopped, leaving a bunch of ice and frozen centipedes as proof of its destructive power! They were gaining on the centipedes! The tides were turning (pun not intended…). It was slowly looking like they were gonna win! “ice section, do your jobs!” The woman screamed at the rest. They couldn’t just stand there, they had to support too! Icicles rained down on the battlefield bringing the message of the ice Lord to the centipede “its time to freeze”. Kulin watched all these with starry eyes. “here take some of them” the woman said as she passed some arrows to kulin. They were like the blues arrows she fired earlier. The arrows felt cold to the touch, like he was holding a packet of ice. “attack” The woman commanded and kulin followed suit. Bow, arrow, fire…death! That was how the centipedes were Killed, the force of the waterfall member were just too much for them to handle. Suddenly the advancing centipedes started retreating and a wide oath was made in their middle. From there exactly twenty variants of the centipedes walked out. Their backs reflected the moon light like some smooth metallic object. They were longer than the average centipede on the battlefield and their hundred legs pierced the ground whenever they walked. These twenty were giving off really threatening auras!
