"The gates m'lady, they've nearly burst open!" Reefshiver announced to Queen Coralgem. The squire scuttled over to the side awaiting orders, or more likely, her swift action to defend her fortress.
Just as he anticipated, Queen Coralgem swirled up from her throne and called for Narwarrior. The majestic creature swam immediately up to her majesty, lighting arcing across its horn.
"They want the gates burst open? So it shall be" the queen said. "Let's go, Narwarrior!" she cried, hopping onto the back of her mount and speeding away to the gates.
Queen Coralgem and Narwarrior raced to the last defense of her bastion, and with the gates in sight, Narwarrior's horn surged with crackles of explosive electricity. The duo shattered through the gates, sending the wave of enemies behind them backwards, and electrocuting any within arcing distance of Narwarriors flashing lance.
"Oh goodness" Reefshiver said, leading his team of diligent decapods in rebuilding the mother-of-pearly gates. Oysters sat at the ready, letting the crustaceans harvest their shimmering lining for the sake of the gates. Chitinous spikes soon readorned the front, once again offering some protection to the city.
After Narwarrioir had speared several enemies, and electrocuted dozens more, she and Queen Coralgem retreated back to the safety of the fortress. She'd have to come up with sounder defense plans, but at least she bought them some time.
"Thank you, Reffshiver, your swift announcement helped secure our boundary. Please keep an eye on the gate while Minister Marrowshell and I determine the best course of action going forward."
Reefshiver bowed, then set his team on patrol of the gates, encouraging the oysters to continue creating a reserve of mother-of-pearl lining. Chef Shrimp continued feeding the oysters enchanted essence of squid beak to ensure the lining would be able to withstand the blows of the Odious Ones.
