Your Highness, we just got a report—we lost the cargo!" shouted the queen's most trusted servant.
"The demons attacked our shipments and killed all the knights. We are losing this war. What shall we do?"
The queen looked down at her hands for a few seconds, then stood up and said, "Let's go, Mirell."
"Uh, yes, Your Highness," she replied.
They walked out of the throne room and down a long hall. A few seconds later, they opened a door leading into a large open chamber with an altar in the middle. A priest and several followers were there, almost as if they were waiting for the queen.
She looked at Mirell and said, "I've been saving up my mana for a while now, just for this moment. I'm going to summon a hero to help us defeat the Demon King!"
With determination, she stretched out her hand and began chanting a spell.
Mirell watched as a green circle started spinning around her queen. She stared in amazement until a thunderbolt struck the altar, causing a lot of smoke and shattering all the castle's windows.
When the smoke cleared, all Mirell could see were five human-shaped figures standing behind the haze left by the lightning.
End.
