What happened next was that Prince Z told Flare he could give up now and survive or fight and die. So Flare decided to fight untill reinforcements arive but the mages couldnt send a message to Telur so they had to send a gaurdian out at night. So they decided to send heather and make a distraction. As a distraction they decided to send another gaurdian who then died. The gates fell a few days after heather left and flare himself fought prince Z and severley wounded him and prince Z flew off. Then a troll kills Flares girlfriend in a sword fight she was a gaurdian as well he goes crazy because he thought he loved her and killed the leader troll who was 17 feet tall and then beat back the forces that were inside the fort all by himself in his rage. Then like an hour later Heather arrived with reinforcements. After that Flare and his fellow gaurdians went back to Telur and they were thought of as heroes. And that was the end of the first book in the series. So i was really sad that two of the gaurdians died in this book. the worst was when flares love died though, i almost cried. anyway i was als really suprised when flare went insane and killed that troll and all of those goblins i thought he would get himself killed. I was really happy when he and all of the gaurdians were anounced heros.
