The sunflower faeries of the
Tower of Sugar thought they were safe. Work was going slowly as they begun setting up their tower-city in order to shelter themselves in the face of an alien, yet welcoming new world, the thundering of a befriended pack of elephants watching vigilantly as the first beginnings of the outer walls were being set up. Their mystical sunstones and wondrous spell-cards bedazzled the nearby elven merchants, and they had received bows and other weaponry to start the first beginnings of a militia, one that they hoped would never see use. The fairies thought that, after leaving their doomed sunflower field, situated within a fading magical border via dimensional portal, that they would be free from the horrors of the wicked factory which had led to their destruction, as well as the many machines.
They thought wrong.Springing into action, a pair of elephants attempted to fend off the metal beast with their might and girth, something which proved invaluable in surviving against the hostile living dead from the East. Yet, try as they might, even the two grey titans could land nary a scratch on the soulless, iron wagon, and tragedy eventually struck.
The elephant howled in pain as it collapsed onto the earth, bloodied after having its body crushed apart. Its partner bellowed in terrifying rage, brutally slamming the car into the ground in vengeance of its fallen matriarch, however in vain.
Several days passed, and it seemed as if the construct would prevail at any moment, where it would then proceed to reduce the tower's populace to roadkill. Not willing to fall so easily, however, a single brave warrior grabbed a -bronze spear- from the stock pile in a desperate attempt to aid the grey colossus in battle. Stoically marching, fully expecting to fall, the foot-tall leprechaun dashed madly at the marauding machine, shouting at the top of his lungs as he plunged his weapon into the beast's engine compartment after biting on its
chewy, rubbery wheel.
Yet, in a stroke of luck, perhaps granted by the sacred Lady Yuuka herself, he did not die. Indeed, he had managed to strike a vital compartment of the iron beast, which then proceeded to explode in a flash of burning wreckage. The chaun, one
Leaf Limbsquid, and the elephant, dubbed
Tiquoashi, were hailed as heroes. As of now, no goblin or kobold has managed to get past their vigilant watch, and programs for a yukkuri auxiliary troop are being considered as other fairies experiment using the bow and arrow.
