Chapter 29: Elendil Ablaze

He arrived to a Elendil that was completely in flames. The gates were closed and the walls were in tatters, but the humans were still defending the walls.

Several hundred meters away, the demon army had a camp set up, with flames everywhere. The demons brought out several boxes and opened them, facing the city. People stumbled out in the darkness and walked like zombies towards the city. But they looked different...

He watched in horror as what looked like men and women without their skins scream at the top of their voices and charge the walls from outside, their bodies engulfed with an element. As they reached the walls, they exploded in flames, or water, wind or earth, killing themselves and destroying the wall and the lives defending it.

Cyril and Thor jumped down and landed right next to Brightstar. "About time you showed up. Is help coming from Elvenstar?" Brightstar asked hopefully.

"No, we only just got news as the demons attacked Elanil from this direction" Cyril answered.

"Damn. Then our messenger we sent never reached?" Brightstar continued asking.

"No. I only got here fast because of my mode of transport" Cyril answered. "Have you seen my friend Kyra?" he asked in return.

"No, I assume she was in StarRock. We haven't seen her in weeks. StarRock is probably as heavily guarded as here" Brightstar answered.

Cyril nodded hopefully. Suddenly they heard a loud scream from a familiar sounding voice. They looked into the distance as what looked like a skinless man was engulfed in a huge flame. He must have been a very powerful fire weaver. Instead of running, he flew into the air and shot towards the wall like a meteor, causing a gigantic explosion, completely destroying the wall and knocking Brightstar and Cyril to the floor.

"That... that was Glorian!" yelled Brightstar as he held his bleeding ears. Cyril's eyes opened wide in horror. If that was Glorian, what about Kyra?

As he thought that, the large army of demons started charging towards the large hole in the wall caused by Glorian's suicide. 

He instantly flew towards the demon camp, and in mid air, he unleashed Thor and the monster army that started defending the city.

Thor flew with Cyril, defending him from attacks. In the meantime, the city was guarded by two huge dragons, Fenrir the giant wolf, the giant fire demon Surtur and the ice demon Ymir. Each monster started plowing through the demons, killing several in each strike. He threw his son Fenrir a bag of holding for him to travel back later.

By now, Cyril had landed in the camp and saw several boxes. In horror, he opened them one by one, but as he opened them, men and women with insane eyes looked at him and started screaming. Not wanting to detonate them, he stored them into his bracelet in suspended animation.

Kyra wasn't here. He summoned Thor and touched his hammer Mjolnir again, and instantly both were transported back to the StarRock.

He summoned his eagle and both of them alighted it and rushed to StarRock with the wind assisting them.
