Unexpected Allies

Write about a battle scene where your main character’s traditional enemies come to their aid in the heat of conflict.

This prompt allows you to examine the nuances of alliances and how shifting dynamics can upturn the traditional ‘good versus evil’ trope. You could delve into the reasons why these traditional foes decided to lend their support – is it due to mutual respect, a bigger common enemy, or something more complex? This scenario also helps you to explore the characters’ reactions to this turn of events and how it impacts their perspective on the battle and their adversaries.
