The Defeat: Chapter 6


“She had soon an army of giants, trolls, dragons by her side. She was slowly bringing them under her influence. Schinda can spellbind a person who looks in to her eyes and can tune them to act as she wishes, but this influence, she could not enforce on all beings. Only creatures of weak, wicked and cruel nature could succumb to her enthrall. She tried creating hassles among the different groups, but could not since peace and love were strongly bonded amongst those living in the Brookeyn forest.”

“She then gathered the forces of goblins dwelling outside the forest. They soon succumbed to her wishes. Thus she had formed a huge army and was planning the downfall of the Brookeyn forest and its dwellers. However she had one key hindrance, the Irvathias. She soon found a way, the Irvathias had a secret meeting every full moon in the nearby mountains and hence would not be guarding the Brookeyn forest” At this instance, Darra paused. Pietre was growing impatient, and she wanted to know what had happened to the forest people. In vain, she tried not to show her impatience and curiosity, but curiosity won. Darra remained silent, as if in deep thought. Pietre stirred, trying to hint her need to know further. The eyes of the dwarves, elves, and other creatures were filled with deep sorrow. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity to Pietre, Darra continued; “This meeting of the Irvathias remained a secret, till date we have no idea so as to how Schinda came to know about it.”


“Schinda planned for an attack on the people of Brookeyn forest on a full moon day. It is said that the cunning goblins from other parts of the forest, under the spell of Schinda, worked day and night in tunnels to create swords and other weapons. On the fateful day, Schinda’s army attacked the Brookeyn forest. The inhabitants were caught unawares, but fought till their last breath. The fight took place for three days and in the end Schinda won. She has held the survivors as prisoners for ages, and still most of them are being subjected to torture in the dungeons of the Brookeyn forest”.
