Path of Totality; A TDS Eclipse Event Story

🌘Chapter 3🌒

      Towers were scrambling in a panic as they tried to get together a defense. They had been so care free that they had failed to keep ready. Maid Commander was in despair. Out of all the times Commander wasn't here, it had to be this time!

      The rangers and snipers were playing cards in one of the watch towers when one of them spotted it; Frost Spirit. The ice titan was a some miles away, but special equipment let them see a bit far out to prepare.

      As soon as the cliff tower spotted the giant snow turkey, they went crazy on the emergency button. There was barely any towers ready and most of the camp was in a state of chaos from slacking off for a whole week. Maid would need to address this huge issue if they didn't die first.

      "Just find something, damnit! We'll be turned to ice!" Maid screamed as she ordered around confused towers. "This is hopeless! We're going to die!" Maid cried out.

      Maid quickly pulled down her skirt as a gust of wind began to blow through the camp. It was Frost Spirit, he was right above the camp. Despite being assaulted with a couple rounds from some towers, he wasn't attacking. Instead, he was trying to gently land.

      At seeing his landing spot was clear, Frost Spirit gently lowered himself down, his wings beating up to keep himself study. It would be seen as quite graceful if it wasn't for the panic around.

      Rounds of gun fire were still fired at him, but a familiar, pissed off voice had them go silent. "Quit shooting! I'm here!" Medic screamed out as she crawled out of Frost Spirit's fur collar.

      Frost Spirit gently put Medic down then the fourwheeler with the speedy still attached to it. "Medic! What is going on? Please don't tell me you plan on keeping it," Maid had a hint of worry in her voice when asking that last bit.

      Medic snorted and scratched the back of her head, "Well, not really. You might want to gather everyone so I can tell them some big news. We gotta hurry though." Maid looked at Medic in confusion but called on her walkie talkie for the commanders to round up every tower.

      "What about... it?" Maid pointed up at Frost Spirit. "Oh yeah, he was my flight home. Also, that's one thing I was going to talk about. He's staying here for now. They all are," Medic gave Maid a warm smile. Maid sputtered out, "They.. 'a-all' are? What do you mean?"

      Scout looked up, his jaw wide open in shock at seeing the Fallen King right in front of him, docile. Fallen King took no notice of him until he happened to glance over, his bright blue eyes locking onto the puny tower.

      That didn't settle well with Scout as he hurried away, afraid that Fallen King would squish him. "Look at that, they run away from your ugliness just like I do," Molten Boss stepped over, mocking the bigger titan. "You look like an orange bird dropping," Fallen King insulted back, making the fire titan boil in rage.

      "Keep calm with one another. I was afraid that we might pick fights with the towers but now I have to worry about my own kind scrapping with one another," Void Reaver came over, making the two quirlling titans quiet down.

      Fallen Swordmaster was staring at Ranger, who was on the watch tower and ready to start shooting titans. He squinted his eyes at him, "I don't like this one. It's staring at me weird."

      "Well, maybe if you stopped staring back at it, it wouldn't be so bad," Void Reaver assured Swordmaster. Ranger scoffed, they were talking about him as if he were some kind of animal. They were the animals!

      Frost Spirit was craning his neck, trying to find something, or someone. He'd sometimes flap his wings, almost as if ready to take off in search. He was getting some stares, especially from those who would get a bit blown away when he would flap his wings.
