Part 3: The Delay and the Lost Brother

The fortress of the Order of Troublemakers was abuzz with activity. Everyone was deeply engrossed in preparations for the upcoming battle, yet there was always time for a joke and a moment of humor.

Richard, the brave and patient blacksmith, was busy as usual in the forge. His arms seemed never to tire, and his calm demeanor brought a certain serenity to the hectic environment. Tristan, friendly and humorous as ever, helped Richard by organizing the blacksmith tools in his own unconventional way. "Richard, how about we arrange the hammers alphabetically? That way we can find them faster!"

Richard rolled his eyes. "Tristan, that makes no sense. But thanks for trying."

Meanwhile, No Fear was busy reading the latest reports from Neja, the clever and determined assassin. "The Spaniards are farther away than we thought," said Neja. "Bad weather is delaying their arrival."

Hisoka, who loved to tease others with his remarks, grinned broadly. "Ah, the Spaniards and their weather. They probably don’t dare to fight because their beautiful hair might get wet."

Tristan laughed out loud. "Yes, and their magnificent mustaches might curl up!"

Eve, determined and creative, was drawing a new battle plan on a map. "This gives us more time to strengthen our defenses. We should make the best of it."

No Fear nodded. "Good idea, Eve. And we mustn’t forget that we have to fight without our brother Drizzt. He’s on a grand journey to improve his skills."

Richard sighed. "Drizzt was always the best in combat. It’s hard to miss him."

Enja, adventurous and loyal, added, "Yes, but when he returns, he’ll be stronger than ever. And who knows what new skills he’ll bring."

Skinny, helpful and charming, brought everyone a round of hot drinks. "Here, fortify yourselves. We still have a lot to do."

Mia 12, the cheerful and curious newcomer, bounced around enthusiastically. "What else can we do to prepare?"

Blondie, generous and open-hearted, smiled. "We could reinforce the defensive walls. More hands make the work lighter."

Hati, analytical and calm, studied the maps and calculated the best positions for ambushes. "We need to make sure every possible weakness is covered."

Nebus, responsible and down-to-earth, checked the supplies. "We have enough food and weapons for a long siege. But we need to be careful."

Pain, passionate and tenacious, was training the warriors in the courtyard. "We’ll be ready, no matter when they come. No one will overwhelm us."

Sami, optimistic and flexible, motivated the others with encouraging words. "We can do this! Together, we are unbeatable."

DARKNESS, ambitious and determined, was already planning the next steps. "Let’s surprise the Spaniards. They won’t know what hit them."

Tywin Lannister, strategic and dominant, oversaw the preparations with a keen eye. "Everyone needs to know their place. A well-organized army is half the battle."

Isabeau de Vaillant, brave and compassionate, took care of the wounded, ensuring everyone was well cared for. "We must also think of our injured. They are part of our strength."

Luna, gentle and empathetic, spoke with the warriors and calmed their nerves. "We’re all in this fight together. None of us are alone."

Eisenherz, brave and loyal, stood like a rock. "We will hold out. For the Order and for our brothers and sisters."

Er_mario, charismatic and energetic, spread good cheer and motivated the troops with his speeches. "Let’s show what we’re made of!"

Arvid, creative and meticulous, designed impressive banners and symbols to boost the Order’s spirit. "A strong symbol can work wonders."

Alvar, patient and wise, gave valuable advice and reminded everyone to stay calm and focused. "Strength lies in calmness."

Mimi, playful and loving, brought laughter and joy to the fortress. "A smile can move mountains. Don’t forget that!"

The days passed, and the members of the Order of Troublemakers continued to prepare for the arrival of the Spanish army. Despite the looming danger, the camaraderie and humor within the Order were unwavering. They knew they could rely on each other, and that made them strong.
