Mickey delivered his message and became unconscious. Everyone one in the village is screaming for help. Elders of the village are are at the shrine of Indra begging for help.

Diamond: Father! Noooo! Why has it come to this? Even you couldn't finish those goblins. What is going to happen now? What am I going to do now? Ahh! my head hurts I can't think straight.

Eris: Clam yourself Diamond! You can't loose hope! You have to protect this village.

Diamond: No nothing can be done now, we are lost. Mickey can't fight, Gold is not strong enough. I am the only one who can fight general but what if I loose too.

Eris: Have faith in yourself Diamond. You will beat the general. The entire village is depending on you for protection.

Diamond: Everyone depends on me. I have to care for everyone. But why is there no one I can depend on! I thought Gold will be that guy but even he disappointed me. I promised father to protect him and never betray him. But what has he done for me? He couldn't even become someone I can rely on.

Eris: Maybe he couldn't become as strong as someone so gifted like you but unlike you Diamond he never lost hope. I have seen him train hard for years. Trying to be strong enough to stand beside you. He gave it everything he had and this is how you think of him?

Diamond: Leave me alone Eris! You go and hide because that's all you can do.

Diamond goes away from there.

Eris: I have to find Gold! Only he can fix Diamond now.

Diamond: Where are you Gold? I have to talk to you.

Both Eris and Diamond look for Gold seperately but they can't find him anywhere in the village.

Eris: Where are you Gold? Have you gone to the forest?

Diamond: Where have you gone? Don't tell me you have left the village. But i won't be surprised if you did because after all even I gave you a cold shoulder. Talking to Eris made me remember your hardwork and all you had to go through since childhood. You never gave up hope. Now remembering that I am filled with hope. But still how can you just leave the village at a time like this, that's unlike you. You would never leave people in help like that. I know you will return Gold.

Villager: Diamond! The doctor is calling you.

Diamond goes to see the village doctor.

Diamond: How is Mickey's condition now doctor? Will he be alright?

Doctor: He is stable now he will be fine. But he hasn't regained his consciousness since last night.

Mickey starts to regain consciousness.

Diamond: Mickey! Wake up!

Doctor: Hey don't shout!

Mickey: keep it down.....

Diamond: Mickey tell us more about what happened.

Doctor: Don't force him he just woke up.

Mickey: Chief killed the ...... General........Then Chief died..... I escaped.

Diamond: What? How did he die if he killed the general? Explain Mickey.

Doctor: He can't even speak full sentences let him rest. It's unbelievable he is even awake right now.

Mickey looses consciousness again.

Doctor: See! He is unconscious again.

Diamond: How did father die if the general is killed? Did he die fighting the general?

Hunters: But this is good news for us! It means that only goblins will be attacking the village. We can easily take down as many goblin as there may be.

The entire village started celebrating. The elders at the shrine of Indra started to thank him for this blessing.

Diamond: If the general is dealt with then why did Mickey come to this village in such a bad state and warn us about the attack. What is pushing himself so hard. It doesn't make sense.

Hunters: Diamond we are fully prepared for the attack. What are our orders?

Diamond: Stand by. Make sure everything is prepared once again and if anyone sees Gold then tell him to come to me.

Hunter: Where Is he gone? Have you sent him somewhere?

Diamond: No I haven't.

Hunter: I think he ran away.

Diamond: Don't you dare say that again!

Hunter: I am so sorry. I won't.

Hunter takes his leave. Eris arrives there.

Eris: Diamond! Where is Gold? He is nowhere to be found! Did you do something to him?

Diamond: I haven't done anything. I just asked him to fight. I won and ........ I called him weak. I know I was wrong.

Eris: Wow! Amazing Diamond! You had to fight him in a situation like this? And you called him weak? No wonder he is nowhere to be seen. You know how he is! He is currently somewhere alone working hard. But this is no time to be alone. We have to be together.

Diamond: You know he doesn't understand what it means to be together.

Eris: You think he will come back?

Diamond: I believe he will.

The day of the attack comes.

Villagers: Goblins have arrived! We are under attack!

The huge goblin army consisting of 300 goblin foot soldiers and 200 flying goblins surround the village.

Hunters: Hey! I have never seen goblins like this.

Diamond: Flying goblins? Everyone we have to be careful about attacks from above!( I can take out half of these myself but I won't be able to move after that. The other half would be to much for the other hunters. Where are you Gold? I need you to fight beside me.)

Mary and rose: Don't worry we won't let any one of those flying Goblins attack from above. Our barrier is unbreakable.

Hunters: That's good to hear.

Diamond: Everyone attack! Protect our home!

Diamond along with the hunters attacks the goblins. Goblins are no match for Diamond.

Hunters: Woah Diamond is so strong.

Diamond quickly takes out half of the foot soldiers.

Diamond: I have to rest before I am completely unable to move.( Good thing we are protected from above.)

Hunters: Rest Diamond. We will hold on.

But the goblins start overpowering the hunters. Some hunters get heavily wounded.

Hunters: We have to fall back!

Diamond: Everyone fall back!

The goblins swarm inside the village destroying everything.

Diamond: We have to do something. We can't just let them destroy our Village.

Hunter with a scar on his face speaks to Diamond.

Max: They are too much for our forces to handle right now.

Diamond: I know. If only Mickey was not so badly wounded.

Max: What about your other friend? Where is he?

Diamond: You mean Gold? I don't know where he is.

Max: Your father and I were partners since childhood. We had fought countless battles together.

Diamond: I know that. Why are you telling this to me right now?

Max: Why did he not take me with him? Why did he leave me here in this village? We had a dispute long ago. I didn't like the decision of his to let that cursed child and his mother stay in the village.

Diamond: Max! I won't hear that again. Even from you!

Max: And I was right! Look at this, this all happened because of that child.

Diamond: How can you say so?

Max: The night that he was born, there was a thunderstorm like I have never seen. It was the wrath of Indra.

Diamond: But I was also born that day.

Max: Yes! But i saw that same thunderstorm when that child touched the holy pillar. You saw it too didn't you. Have you ever seen a thunderstorm like that? Doesn't it seem strange to you?

Diamond: No it doesn't.

Max: It should, because he has abandoned you.

Diamond: No he hasn't. He will come back.

Max: When? After this village is destroyed completely by Goblins.

Diamond gets up and gets ready to fight again.

Diamond: I won't let this village be destroyed!

Diamond and the hunters attack the goblins again.

Before the attack on the village

Goblin king: My soldiers are you ready to attack!? Then let's destroy everything in our path!

Goblin king leads his army towards the village. But then suddenly he hears a noise. A huge number of birds cover the sky making it dark and hard to see.

Goblin king: What is happening?

The goblins with weak visions are completely blinded.

Goblin king: Soldiers stay where you are. Flying goblins make those birds go away.

The flying goblins attack the birds. But one by one they start falling.

Goblin: What is happening? Those flying goblins are being attacked? ( I can't tell my soldiers that we are under attack it will cause chaos especially since they are blinded.)

King orders the flying goblins to stop attacking and get down on the ground.

Goblin King: Okay then. Guess I will have to take care of this.

King raises his hand and uses the power of one of his rings to light the path.

Goblin king: You think we have never attacked at night. Haha. Let's move soldiers these birds are useless now.

Right then the king notices that half of his foot soldiers are are gone.

Goblin king: What! How did this happen? My 600 foot soldiers have been reduced to half? How did this happen so quickly.

The king gets angry.

Goblin king: Whoever you are now I am gonna kill you personally. Your fate will be worse than death. I know what to do.

The king orders his army to continue moving towards the village and attack.

Goblin king: Alright now! It's just me. I know it's just one of you as well. This is what you wanted right? To make me angry and use my ego to make to fight you alone. But do you really think you have a chance to win? Fighting alone?

Gold comes out of hiding.

Goblin king: So it's you. You will have to entertain me before I have my main fun with Eris. Haha!

Gold is surprised.

Gold: How do you know her name?

Goblin King: I have the ability to know the past and the secrets of anyone. But don't get so angry. I promise I won't let anyone of my subordinates touch her. She will be my personal play thing.

Gold gets furious and attacks the king. The king blocks his attack with his bare hands.

Goblin king: You can't even hurt me Gold. Being able to see Aatma won't help you against me. I don't use Aatma you see.

Gold stands infront of the king with his eyes closed.
