The Great Fordoi

"Whrrrrr.. THUMP!" A huge axe lodged itself into a tree trunk after narrowly missing the rescue knight. Growling in anger, the Vordoi charged the knight. Sidestepping, Destiny swung her Altair in a diagonal arc which loped off the Vordoi's arm as it began its axe swing. Blood spattered and the Vordoi screamed in pain.

Looking up, Destiny saw the rest of her squad holding off the horde of Vordoi but slowly backing towards the huge metal structure atop a grassy knoll. Then it came...
A Great Fordoi appeared, towering over 10 feet. It gave a guttural growl and charged into the ranks of the knights. Three rescue knights raised their Elite Black Dragons and released a volley of steel bullets into the Great Fordoi but it barely flinched. It barreled into the trio and threw them into the air with a mighty sweep of its tail. "Take it down!" Fate shouted, as she moved to face the Great Fordoi. Two other knights followed. Blocking its claws and massive strikes, Fate struck again and again with her enchanted Altair, but the blows seemed to only increase its fury. It tore into one of the knights and shredded her armor.

The vordoi sensed their victory and swarmed in greater numbers. Only eight remained of the patrol that was twelve strong. Backed against the metal structure, the knights prepared their last stand. Suddenly the sky turned black! Shrieks of agony filled the air as black bolts rained from the sky and assaulted the pack of Vordoi. As the killing darkness faded, Storm faded into being, her cloak of invisibility melting away. The dark wizardess levitated in front of the Great Fordoi and dark bolts of magic fired from her Dragon Rod and tore into the beast. The Great Fordoi roared in anger and swung at Storm, but to no avail. Its claws could not reach the wizardess. "Now!" Destiny shouted, sensing the opportunity. The knights charged the beast from behind. Enraged by the wizard, the beast was oblivious to the knights. Finally, its wounds brought it down, and with its demise, the rest of the Vordoi fled.

As the knights tended their wounded comrades, Destiny looked for the wizardess whose appearance had saved the day but she was gone. "Sure is good to fly" Destiny muttered as she sheathed her sword...
