Allyssa finally spotted Tempest, and climbed on. She saw Vim and a few other Vikings. "Where are you going?"

Metal lead the 9 bowmen up the rocky side of the Volcano, from their position they could see the entire school they took position along the ridge and watched the exit with their bow strung, metal put his hand on Boethiah to get her to lower her bow, regardless of her spirit she was shaking, he presented her the Chest with the half dozen lock "This is my final gift to you as your teacher"

At the armory, Dotta threw on a pair of spauldors and a helmet. Her weapon was the trusty battle axe. Having suited up, Dotta then searched for Lil' Blackie. ((hey, are we gonna start a new chapter for the actual battle?)) OOC/ no chapter 2 is about the battle / siege |

The group of guys, 7 of them, landed at the top of the volcano. They scanned the ocean and saw the sails approaching rapidly. There were a lot of ships.
"Okay," said Vim, "destroy the sails then get the Hel out of there. We just need to slow them down." They all flew down.
Thorntail tucked in his wings and dove at terminal velocity. His eyes watered as he approached the lead ship. About 20 outcasts were on each boat. One pointed a crossbow at them. "Barrel roll!" Shouted Vim as the arrow wizzed by their heads. "Now!" Thorntail shot a blast of fire and spikes at the same time. The spikes caught on fire and imbedded themselves in the mast, setting the sail on fire.
"Get us out of here!" Vim screamed as more arrows wizzed by, barely missing them. "Retreat!" He called to the other guys. They shot towards him at top speed. One guy was missing. Vim didn't want to know what happened to him.

She wasn't ready for this. Only after a day of practice, she really wasn't. But she had to try as much as possible. For her family. For the school. She felt a hand on her shoulder and Metal's voice. Lowering her bow, she saw the box in his hand. Hesitantly, she took it and looked at the lock. "Thank you...What is it?" she asked. It was locked securely. She had no idea what he could possibly give her.

Vim landed back inside at the school courtyard. People were lined up at the barricades, waiting. "Ready the catapults!" Vim shouted, "the ships are nearly here!"

Just as Dotta had found Lil' Blackie, she heard Vim's warning. "Quick, girl!" Dotta called out to her dragon. "Carry the rocks!"

Allyssa sighed, then put her hand on Tempest. "Whatever happens in this battle, I just want you to know, that you're the best thing that has ever happened to me. I couldn't have chosen a better dragon."
Tempest roared in agreement, and they both waited for their cue.
"The rocks!" Allyssa yelled, and Tempest understood immediately.

Dotta watched from her saddle as Lil' Blackie and several other dragons loaded the catapults. She turned and asked, "Did we get 'em all?"

Vim found Boethiah and made a note to remember where she was. He wasn't letting the Outcasts get anywhere near her. He lined up at the stairs going up from the beach where the ships would land and waited.

"I think so!" Allyssa said from on top of Tempest.

"It is a tradition..." he carfully undid each lock, the chains that fell to the ground rang out deathly loud, The box had exquisite detailed cravings of a forest on and animals. " ... for a teacher of the bow to craft their student a weapon to take to war....." Metal undid the last lock and inside was a long bow, the wood had detailed carvings etched into it, that depicted dragons and on the top that held he bow to the string was her dragon. "....... this is yours, The finest I've ever made use it well" Metal then went to check on everyone else leaving Boethiah with the bow and box

"Then lets line up with the others. There may be more orders." Dotta said. She turned Lil' Blackie around and flew back down to join the rest of teh vikings.
