^^I ban myself for getting political and mentioning Trump, and his wall. But, honestly, couldn't someone dig under?

---

I pace around the Edge's Common room again, a familiar sight the four other girls in the room knew. Heather and Trista sat by the fire, bored, while Atali waited at the door. Astrid was still held hostage but was allowed to walk around freely. She'd given up trying to escape the moment the wall was finished being built. I also think she didn't exactly hate us, and only disliked us for using her as bait. Well, it was a war, and it wasn't like the opposition wasn't going to play dirty.

We'd just got a cryptic note from Red, that she doesn't care about bonus points anymore but wants Astrid back. This lifted the spirits of the group, the war was going to end before it began! But the Mongols were coming... There scouts had already passed the edges of our waters, a war was on the horizon. Astrid still waited eagerly for Red to trade-off the bonus points, but Red still hadn't arrived.

So we waited.

But we had a new problem. The Mongols can dig under our wall! We needed a new plan.

"What about lava..." Astrid muttered to herself, knowing that I could hear.

"LAVA!" I shouted, ignoring Astrid. "We need a lava moat! Let's get to work!"

Atali walked out to fetch the abundance of Gronkles on the island, to begin making the moat.

"Are you ever going to give Astrid credit?" Trista asked.

"I would... but Nah. She's the enemy, technically, so I can't let our team know that the enemy is helping us." I replied.

"Why are you helping us, Astrid?" Heather asked.

"Eh... this is fun, you guys are pretty much useless at defences, and I'm bored. Also, I don't think the Mongols care about me, so I wanna live."

"So wanna create a temporary alliance?" I asked.

"Sure, why not?" Astrid replied, excited. She hadn't done anything for WEEKS, and she could finally do something. She got to work on the Edge's defences.

I watched as our defences built and expanded over the next couple of days. There was Monstrous Nightmare Gel coated ropes, a trebuchet, and crossbows at the mountains. An Eagle Artillery was built, along with other air defences.

As I landed on the beach at the back of the Edge, I saw a soaked guy walk up onto the beach.

It took me a few seconds to realise who he was.

It was Newt.
