Chapter 12

Within seconds she could feel the cold wind rushing pass her face. She thought this would be probably be her last day. The wall of the castle simply passed her by and the fall seemed endless.

Then, from the sky came a screeching sound and a majestic eagle came swooping down out of nowhere , rocketing down as if catching a prey, but this time, its talons grabbed hold of the jacket collar worn by Lessie. With a loud call, it swooped down and up again bringing the girl to a safe distance from the evil castle.

Indeed, the eagle must have her earlier call to help her and the brown wolf.
From the air, her earlier tears turned to a smile as she enjoyed a bird’s eye view of the land. Some soil is beginning to appear as the snow melted away. Rocks were beginning to be seen on the mountain sides. Snow was falling from the branches of the trees.

Then she remembered, “ My friend ! The brown wolf !!”. She shouted in concern.
The voice of the eagle boomed above her,

“Don’t worry young lady! His friends, the other animals are all there to help him battle with the witch’s soldiers and white wolf. Everything is under control. All thanks to you. “

Soon they landed on a high ground not too far from the castle and stood together to watch the castle, wondering about the fierce battle that must be going on.

Then a terrible scream filled the air, cutting across the air. It came from the castle. Of course Lessie knew it to be the evil white witch.

“ARRRRGGHH !NOOOOOO!!! !’

Lessie gave a smile and knew that victory was in their hands. She could hear the sounds made by the other animals. The roar! The cry! The wail! The whistle! There must be a hundred types of animals in the castle fighting the evil of the witch.
But all these sounds had one meaning. Victory!

She could see the walls of the ice castle cracking and the towers shaking violently. It was only a matter of minute before the end of an evil reign.
Then the front wall started to collapse, crumble and fall. The sound of the breaking ice was enough to send chills of fear down the spine of anyone near enough to hear it.

The next scene was something Lessie knew she would never ever forget …. The main castle began to fall with a deep rumbling roar sending dust of snow flying into the air !

Then, the dust was blown away as if by a giant fan and out of it, emerge a white dragon with long pointed wings, equally long sweeping tail which ends with an evil-looking arrow head tip. It struggled to take off and was flapping its giant wings in desperation as if running away from something.

What a sight!
