Chapter 8, in which a
demon causes some trouble, and dwarves chants ancient spells
Vodok
"Will
be done. An'y las' wishes?" the dwarf yelled as he ran against the entrance to Kazordoon. "YOU
SCUM COWARD!! He heard someone screaming at the dwarf who hadn’t gotten
that far because of his short legs. He turned around and grabbed a random rune
and shot against the beast. It didn’t hurt him that much, it just annoyed him
that someone had the guts to shoot something at him. So he directed a great
fire ball at the short dwarf and the short dwarf flew several feet away from
the blast. "Don'' 'ave time for 'is" he yelled and took up
another rune and shot at the beast and ate a fish and made an intense healing
rune at the same time. What happened was that a sudden death hit the beast, he
choked at the fish and didnt get intense healed. "Gak. Ak. Ick" the
dwarf got from his stuffed up mouth. Finally he managed to shoot up the piece
of fish before it killed him. Killed by a fish... wouldn’t be able to stand
that shame if I choked on it. He intense-healed, even though he hardly had
the strength to short after he healed another great fire ball hit him so with
his last effort he dived down into a nearby hole.
Pheonix
- She
reached the hole seeing the old man. "Stand back!" She yelled pulling
out her fire sword. She used it to make the hole big enough for the old man to
get out. "How did you get in there?" She said grasping his hand and
picking him up nearly with one arm. "You are indeed a strange old man. She
said trying to read his mind and failing.
Danger
The
young mage never ran from anything. and he was not going to start now!
"If you think I am going to leave all the glory to you, you have nothing
coming!" He said trying to sound like he did not care what happened to Red
Un.
"Here, this will help. Utamo Vita!" he yelled shielding him and Red
Un.
Roku
Yarit
"I don’t
really know. I woke up here." Roku looked around quickly.
"Wait...were is the half-dwarf? Did he make it to Kazordoon? What about
Oriel?" The Sorcerer was confused. This was not how he had foreseen
it...well how Detlin had foreseen it...
Red Un
"No...you
don't...understand...this is no ordinary demon. Only the spells from ages past
can stop it. I need someone to warn the Emperor! He knows what to do!"
Red Un got up on his knees and kept mumbling the mysterious words.
"G'NYAH R'TAFH ZOOKUTH R'LYEH!"
Vodok
After the
short dwarf had dived down he saw a figure. He couldn’t really see what he
looked like. "What brings you here short one?" the figure
asked in a misty voice. "I... I... Ummmm... Look... Ummmm... I'm sort'a
wounded 'ere" the short dwarf said to change the subject. "So
I see. I know what evil haunts this land. You must go to the Emperor and warn
him at any cost.” the figure said, then ultimate-healed the dwarf two times
and threw two backpacks to him. "Thanks" the dwarf said. "I
have saved these runes for important... YOU SHALL DIE!" the misty
figure said and drew a dagger from somewhere. The dwarf was stunned and scared
and didn’t dare move. He closed his eyes waiting for the blade to fall, but it
didn’t. "Demon... taking over me... run... YOU SHALL DIE NOW!!!” the figure yelled. The dwarf opened his
eyes and saw the figure holding a dagger in his hands a few inches from the
dwarfs neck. His hand seemed to be trembling to stab him but he wouldn’t do it.
"Beast... full control of me... take my runes and warn the dwarf lord.
Old man’s last wishes." He seemed very sane when he said this but the
short dwarf wondered what he meant with "last wishes". "I...
kill... self... for you... warn emperor now. Run... take my runes... YOU SHALL
DIE NOW!!” the figure yelled. The blade was one inch from the dwarf’s neck
when the man said his last sane words: “Remember... my wish will be done...
fates of many... in your hands... bye... take my runes.” The dwarf didn’t
understand a thing at the moment. "YOU SHALL DIE NOW DWARF!! YOU WONT
STOP ME FROM TAKING OVER!!” the demon said through the man. The man took a
swift swing at his own neck making sure he wouldn’t stop the dwarf saving
Kazordoon. He seemed to have been in the Demons power and killed himself so he
couldn’t act for the Demon. Right... this seems to make a lot of sense... the
dwarf thought sarcastically. He found a candle and lit it. The candle made so
that the whole room was light. He could see everything. He took all the
backpacks and bags that he could carry. He threw out all his meat and fish to
some more backpacks. He roped himself out of the hole with magic rope and ran
towards Kazordoon.
Danger
The mage
merely stared at the demon.
"Look you cannot take him alone! And I will not let you." he said coldly.
"Besides if I have to I will invoke the spirit in my amulet..." His
face seemed to show a little fear. Was it because of the demon or the amulet?
Pheonix
-"Who are you?!" she yelled at the "Old Man" "How do
you know my brother's name?"
-She could not read his mind and he knew more than an old man should! He was
not normal...
-"Tell me, why have we been running into each other over and over
again?"
Roku
Yarit
"Well...uh...I
read it somewhere. Yes, that’s it. I just guessed his name was Oriel and maybe
you’re the one who keeps running into me?" He couldn’t keep people
guessing forever and right now there wasn’t time. He would have to change the
subject. "We must make haste, child. The Dwarf needs out help."
Red Un
"Alright...you...crazy...people...I
said in the contract...that I wouldn't pay...for burials..."
Red Un was thinking hard of more ancient spells to hold back the horrible
demon.
"V'GANH! FOROTH! B'TAH!"
Vodok
The short
dwarf was running, now he came to some wolfs who attacked him. The dwarf simply
sliced all the wolfs with his two handed sword and was still running. He
remembered he could use haste on himself to go faster. The dwarf used great
haste and reached the roping place to Kazordoon. He fumbled in his backpack for
his rope and found it. He climbed up the rope with some difficulty. Rope
climbing has never been my strong side the short dwarf thought as he
finally reached the edge. He slaughtered a spider and ran on. He jumped down
the hole and ran as before. His haste ended and he ran pretty slowly now. He
finally reached the staircase into Kazordoon and went down it. There he saw
someone running from a murderer. Since he couldn’t think clearly after all that
running and he was pretty dizzy he said "'Eep 'e good 'ork goin'
on" He ran on and got a little lost on purpose and
"happened" to come into Jimbin’s bar. "Gimme a Flamin' demon.
NOW!! Jimbin slid a beer over and the dwarf cut it open with a knife he
always had. "Ahhhh... Gimme another 'un of 'em... Ahhhh... Another
'un... Ahhhhhh..." The dwarf was brick red in his face when he started
to sing a little song that didn’t exist. "What're you doing here,
Vodok?" Jimbin asked, he knew the short dwarf’s name since he came
here and drank a lot of beer as a child (yes, as a child.) "'As 'un o'
'ings yah know anyway 'ere 'as 'is
weird 'ing I 'pposed tar say to some stupid emperor. Summing 'bout some
legendary demon comin' tar life or summin'" Jimbin yawned since he
didn’t believe a word of what Vodok was saying. He just said "Take this
ring on" as he gave Vodok a ring, a dwarven ring. Vodok put it on and
remembered everything. "Oh dear... 'Otta run 'ow" and the
dwarf ran away with out paying for the beer. "COME BACK HERE RIGHT
NOW!! Jimbin yelled after the short dwarf.
Danger
Crazy?
him crazy? hah that wasn't the half of it.
"Fine. Here, let me show you." The young mage closed his eyes. his
amulet began to glow. Then the three gems of destruction began to move. First
the brown one. Then the black one, then the grey one. They began to swirl on
the amulet faster and faster slowly getting closer to one another. Then they
combined into a single white gem. "Salshme maralat toa" the young
mage chanted. But... The voice was not his?
A green light came from the amulet. It focused into a ball and shot toward
them demon hitting him, only knocking him back a step.
"My my, he is powerful..." the other voice said. "Who exactly is
this demon?"
Red Un
As the
demon laughed, Red Un tried to explain.
"P'faard is the Demon of The Scrolls. He usually guards books of great
evil, but this time...someone...has summoned him to destroy us. Your magic
won't work against him. Do as Vodok does and get the Emperor! I will hold the
beast back!"
Then he yelled the old spells again.
"YME-LOG! YOG-SOTHOT! F'TAGHN!"
Vodok
The short
dwarf had come to the emperor. "Look... 'Is demon is comin' tar
Kazordoon. Some'un said... you could 'ill it... with some weir' kind'a magic.
So c'mon.” the dwarf said through all the spaces of his sentence he panted
since running around was hard business for a short dwarf. "Errrmmm...
How do I know you’re not bothering me." the emperor asked the short
dwarf. The short dwarf answered: "'Cuz if there ain’t no demon 'ere
I'll give ya 500 gold. So get 'ere now! 'Ope yeh 'ave 'aste..." "I'll
come since I could use 500 gold." The short dwarf and the emperor both
did haste with their dwarf guards trying to keep up but couldn’t. At last they
reached the plains and they heard someone yelling "ARNOR HUR-STOR ANKOR
TRORKOR!" It sounded like the demon. It was the demon. "EEEEEKKKK!!"
The short dwarf screamed in fear. The emperor looked at him almost saying
"You coward!" "Errmmmm... you see... that’s the ummm...
it’s... it’s our family war cry! Yeah! Family war cry.” "Wha ever you
say..." the emperor answered.
Red Un
"Oh,
our most benevolent...ungh...Emperor...It's P'Faard, the Demon of the
Scrolls."
The Emperor of Kazordoon looked up at the towering beast. Then he looked at Red
Un who kept mumbling formulas.
"We'll talk about where you found those top-secret formulas later. First
of all, we will need more magic power."
He took a deep breath and yelled out over the plains.
"WE NEED ALL THE MAGICIANS WE CAN FIND AT THE BRIDGE NOW!"
Pheonix
- Rhia
stared at the old man for a second. "I have no time for this!" she
said frustrated. “Hurry up, we must go... oh for christ’s sake... "She
picked up the slow moving man and began to run into the forest. She made a
swishing noise and a tree leaned over to pick her up. She made another command
and the trees tossed her from tree to tree.
Danger
"Now
who do you think I am halfling?" The voice said to Red Un. "I believe
you have mistaken me for the body I inhabit. My magic comes from the earth
itself. I need not worry about the demon. But I will tell Pheonix to tell your
king."
" Good evening lady Pheonix. You must not worry about your brother, he
is safe at the moment." the voice said. Te seemed to be extremely
wise. "you must find the small dwarf that was in the group and help
him.“
Roku Yarit
Roku Yarit,
The Great Sorcerer of Carlin, was being carried around like a child. He felt
ridiculous. "Alright, that’s it! I’ve had enough," he yelled,
motioning for the woman to stop. He dropped out of her grasp and onto the
ground below as the tree's threw her forward.
Not taking the time to see if she was out of sight, his body burst to life with
a blue flame. His once tattered and dirty robes were now blue and red without a
spot on them. His beard and hair lost its grey and uncombed look and became
smooth and black. His eyes went a deep grey and the flames faded. He looked and
felt as he rightfully should. "Ahh, much better." Throwing away his
walking stick, he took off at great speed, moving faster than his legs should
carry him. In the distance he could see the demon. One he could not remember
from his books. And Oriel was at his side, actually fighting along side what
looked to be the half dwarf. "Well I’ll be damned..."
Red Un
Meanwhile,
the Demon had had enough of amusement, and decided to end it all.
"TAKE THIS LITTLE MORTALS!"
He held out his clawed hand and started to materialize a fireball in them. It
kept growing. Meanwhile, some dwarven sorcerers from Kazordoon had gathered
among the defenders. The Emperor sighed.
"We need more magicians!"
Vodok
"GAAAAAR!!"
The short dwarf
yelled as he took up a rune and shot at the demon witch happened to be a sudden
death.
Another elven mage seemed to have heard the plea for help from someone. He ran
towards where he heard the yelling. When he reached the plain he was awestruck
at the sight of the demon standing with a growing fire ball in its hand. The
elven mage drew a heavy magic missile in each hand and started to fire at the
Demon. The demon hardly seemed to notice.
Danger
"...Waltti
Vitso Lamarta" The voice came from the amulet this time? A black orb
surrounded them, quickly getting smaller until it disappeared. It reappeared
behind the demon. "Quickly... hit him from behind. It may catch him with
his defences down!"
Pheonix
-Rhia had
to get to the dwarf fast! That voice said he was in danger. She was fixing on
his aura...
"Ah found him!" she said taking off in that direction. "Good, he
is not far... should be able to get to him in only a few seconds!"
Red Un
The Emperor
sighed.
"Alright lads, get some soldiers back there while we prepare the frontal
magic assault."
The fireball in P'faards hands was steadily growing...
Vodok
The short
dwarf put his backpack down and the elven mage seemed to be throwing some magic
walls in order to trap the demon a little while. Vodok found a backpack totally
full with sudden deaths. "'Is beauty 'ill kill the demon!!" the
short dwarf said even though he knew it would take much much much more to take
down a demon. The short dwarf started to fire his sudden death runes. Soon the
fireball seemed big enough to blast off the whole dwarven bridge. Was the demon
just going to stop the dwarf troops from coming or simply blow the small troop
to smithereens?
Roku
Yarit
Roku was no
surprised to see a giant ball of fire ahead of him and would be even less
surprised if it suddenly came hurling towards him. In all the battles Roku had
been in he was surprised he still had his eyebrows.
The Sorcerer was getting close now, his legs moved swiftly and silently. The
grass did not make a noise from his steps until he was already gone. His blue
and red robes flailed about in the wind but he kept his arms straight and his
back arched.
Red Un
The Emperor
spied Roku at the distance.
"Ah, another magician it seems. I think that we have all we need when he
gets 'ere."
The fireball in P'Faards hands was taking on huge dimensions, and some of the
dwarves covered their eyes so that they wouldn't be blinded.
Vodok
The short
dwarf yelled "'Urry up!! 'Our our 'ast 'ope!! C'mere!! 'Urry!!" The
elf was out of sudden deaths and they needed to buy some time.
Red Un
The dwarf
soldiers had gotten behind the demon and started to fire crossbow bolts in its
back. Red Un sighed.
"That is never goin' to work."
It did. The demon roared in pain, the fireball shrunk a bit and he turned to
face the brave dwarves.
"Now he's distracted. Quickly!" yelled the Emperor. "'Vrey
magician 'ere get each others hand!"
Roku was almost there.
"Hurry up, Mr. Magican!" yelled the Emperor.
Roku
Yarit
Roku hear the
yelling of the dwarf but had other matters to attend to first. Fire was an
element easily tamed by water but the Sorcerer had no experience with natural
magic such as that. "Woman?" he called, looking around for Rhia.
"God damnit, Where are you?"
If she was quick to listen he would neutralize the beast’s temporarily and have
enough time to join the mages on the bridge but where was she?
Danger
The
spirit in the young mage's amulet watched from afar.
"I really should help them..." He said teleporting over by them.
"May I be of some use?"
Pheonix
-Rhia
followed the so called old man...
"He has the same Aura... Who is this guy?"
Roku
Yarit
"You,
woman" he said, pointing to Rhia. "Can you control the rivers and
lakes?"
Vodok
The short
dwarf connected his hands with the emperor, dragging him around to hold hands
with everyone else. Some of the people were a little doubtful to this idea but
the dwarf got their enthusiasm back by yelling "'OLD 'AND 'ITH EACH
OTHER OR ILL GO 'EALLY GRUMPY!!" And most people didn’t need telling
twice after that. "We still need one more powerful mage to perform this
magic." the emperor said and sighed. "'URRY UP!!
C'MERE!!!" the short dwarf yelled across to Roku. Then suddenly the
Demon turned around against the mages holding hands. He preformed one powerful
spell on the elven figure who had just come. He was sent flying away and
crashed against the mountain and fell from 20-30 foot up. He landed, then the
demon did a not too powerful spell, but it still killed the elven figure. The
emperor started cursing in a high voice and then said "We need a really
powerful mage now to take this thing down.”
Red Un
Red Un
stood up.
"I guess I'll have to be the heroic guy again" he muttered. Then he
ran towards the towering demon with its growing fireball.
"Hey P'Faard! Over 'ere!"
"WHAT IS IT, PUNY MORTAL?"
"I have something 'ere that ya might be interested in..."
"HAH! I HAVE NO INTERESTS IN MORTAL THINGS!"
"Well, how about..."
Damn, I am good at dramatic pauses thought Red Un.
"...The Key to the Ancient Library?"
"THE LIBRARY?"
Red Un smiled. He tried to buy time so that the Emperor could prepare the
spell...
Pheonix
"I do
not control them... They are my friends. They do what I ask because they care
for me."
-Rhia stared at her brother... "That is not my brother..."
Roku
Yarit
"Quiet
Dwarf!" he yelled at Vodok, turning to Rhia. The Sorcerer took hold of her
hand firmly. "Call them here then, Woman. Leech what magic you need from
my body and I will take care of the rest."
Red Un
The Emperor
sighed.
"Alright me lads, let's get over to those two and start the spell."
The whole group started to run for Roku and the woman. Meanwhile, Red Un was
playing a dangerous game with P'Faard.
"LITTLE MORTAL, GIVE ME THE KEY, AND I MIGHT SPARE YOU!"
"Can you promise me that?"
"I PROMISE YOU!"
"What do you promise on?"
"I PROMISE ON THE SCROLLS!"
Dammit, get into place thought Red Un.
Roku
Yarit
"Bah,
forget it. We have no time now and it seems the Dwarfs aren’t going to give us
much choice in the matter. Dragging the women behind him, Roku joined the
Dwarfs and Mages alike. "Alright, what do you want me to do?"
Red Un
"Just
get into the circle and hold hands."
The group of magicians stood in a circle, each holding hands.
"Alright people, let's see now."
The Emperor took out an old dusty book and opened the page. He squinted with
his eyes.
"Oh, right!"
He took out his small looking glasses and pinched them on his nose. Then he
read.
"Right, just say after me:
OGTHROD AI'F
GEB'L-EE'H
YOGGOE-SOTOTHE
'NGAH'NG AI'Y
ZHRO!"
Pheonix
-"It
takes no magic!" Rhia said.. She began making a splashing noise. The wind
picked up... dark clouds circled over head. The rivers, lakes and streams began
to flood over making their way over to Rhia. They surrounded her and engulfed
her, making a giant creature around her. it was a creature purely made of
water.
-"Now we shall see how the demon deals with something that cannot be
killed."
Danger
The
young mage joined the circle.. well perhaps it was the spirit that has now
taken over him... He began muttering the chant with Red Un.
"OGTHROD AI'F
GEB'L-EE'H
YOGGOE-SOTOTHE
'NGAH'NG AI'Y
ZHRO!"
Red Un
Red Un was
looking up at the demon as the spell took effect. There came a great shiver
through P'Faard.
"NOOO! NOT THAT SPELL!"
His red skin changed into black.
"DAMN YOU, MORTALS! I SHALL CRUSH YOU NOW!"
The Emperor looked up at the demon.
"He's weak to physical attacks now! GET 'IM!"
Red Un wasted to time and drew his sword. the demon swung out with its claw and
threw Red Un away like he was a puppet. He hit the ground hard...
"Ow...this seems familiar..."
Roku
Yarit
Roku broke
the circle and took up a position on the other side of the water giant, who was
doing battle with the demon, however futile its swings were. "I am not one
to use my fists but I can call upon someone who can." He drew up his
sleeves quickly, exposing his bony but muscled arms. "Utevo res
Palin!" Whistling softly, in a gleeful tune that echoed across the hills,
a great shadow formed in front of the sun.
The great green dragon, Palinthalasa, barrelled down upon then, casting his
shadow over the dwarfs and mages. Palin came down with a rumbling crash that
almost knocked Roku to his knees. The dragon stood as tall as the water giant
and both stood around the demon. "Prepare for fiery death, demon!"
the dragon bellowed, drawing his head back and exposing his razor teeth,
stained with blood.
Red Un
Red Un got
on his feet. Then he saw the dragon. Not understanding what was happening, he
muttered "damn, now there's a big fire-breathing lizard to take care of
too. But first, the demon."
He picked up his firesword and ran towards the battle.
Meanwhile, the dwarf guards had taken position and fired bolt after bolt from
their crossbows. P'Faard roared with each it and swung out with his huge claws,
sending dwarves flying all over the place...
Vodok
A crossbow
went flying 30 feet above then dwarf then landed on his helmet. Lucky I had
this trusty helmet or I'd be dead the dwarf thought as he took it up. The
dwarf bent down to a dead dwarf soldier and looked in his bag. Ooooo!!
Bolts. I'm not the bolty type but I think I’ll fire some bolts. I never got to
do this in Kazordoon, most dwarfs there said I was a danger to me and everyone
else with in 100 feet. The dwarf started to fire and he got the demon in
his toe. The demon didn’t seem to notice the small dwarf that couldn’t hit him
even if the demon would be one foot from the dwarf. The short dwarf dropped the
crossbow on his toe. "YAOW!!" the dwarf yelled since his boots
only were of leather. "'UPID 'ING's TRYIN' TAR KILL ME!!" the dwarf yelled. He took the
crossbow and threw it with all his might against the demon’s face, not on
purpose though. The demon let out a yell of pain. "A FEW MORE BOLTS
SHOULD TAKE THIS DOWN!!" The dwarf guards threw down their crossbows
and drew the hammers and charged the Demon. The demon was dying.
Red Un
Red Un saw
that P'Faard was soon to return the realm where demons live. He quickened his
pace.
"Don't wanna miss out on the figthin'."
Roku
Yarit
Palinthalasa's
jaws clamped down on the demon’s arm, tasting its bitter and foul blood. The
demon was livid in pain and was quick to strike the Dragon across the side,
causing him to loose his balance and topple over. Palin quickly drew his head
up and let loose a blazing inferno on the demon.
Roku tore off the necklace he wore to keep the telepaths out of his head and
put on a dragon necklace to protect him from the flames. Amplified a thousand
fold, the fire sizzled and burnt the ground but not him.
Red Un
Red Un
finally arrived at the fight. P'Faard was groaning, and as he saw the
half-dwarf that had caused all this (in a way), he swung out with his claw
again. Red Un made another beautiful arc in the sky and landed far away again.
"Aaaw dammit!"
Vodok
The short
dwarf took up a rune. It was a fire bomb. Since he saw the demon was made
mainly out of fire he assume it was immune to it. The short dwarf took up a
heavy magic missile and shot at the demon. The demon seemed to be in pain
mainly from the dragon and a little bit from the dwarf guards. Everyone who
stood around could see how fireblood flowed out of the demon. I've heard
these things use very powerful items. It's probably only Demon's who use them.
I've also heard how very valuable those things can be the short dwarf
thought. Hellloooooo... The dwarf was hatching a plan that almost anyone
at this point would have come up with. Or at least every greedy person like
Vodok. Vodok went closer the Demon from behind in order to jump onto the demon
and take everything worth something, then blame it on anyone near by. The short
dwarf noticed other dwarfs who seemed ready to pounce onto the demon once it
died. If I do an energy wall in front of them... The short dwarf
thought. Then he heard somebody. "Hey!! Look!! It's Vodok the
Bad-shot!!" "Well I'll be darned!! It is!! Hey!! Bad shot!! Going to
take a crossbow and shoot your own dad in the leg by mistake again?" another
dwarf yelled and those who heard this burst out laughing. The demon didn’t care
about this since he was having a problem with a dragon in his arm. Suddenly one
of the dwarfs that had been teasing Vodok threw a crossbow and 5 bolts to the
short dwarf. "Here's your chance to kill me! I'll step out with no
armour from 70 foot range, you have my permission to shoot a bolt at me!
Everyone watch out!! Vodok the Bad-shot's got a crossbow!" The short
dwarf took a bolt and loaded his crossbow with some difficulty. I was good
at axe throwing, but I'm NOT good at crossbow shooting the dwarf thought.
Suddenly the dwarf got another plan. The short dwarf raised the crossbow over
his head and threw with all his might towards the teasing dwarf. It hit him
right in the nose and he started to bleed violently. "YOU UGLY LITTLE...
LITTLE... LITTLE... LITTLE BIG FATTY!! WE ALL HATE YOU!! AFTER THIS DEMON’S
DEAD WE DUEL TO DEATH!! THE WINNER GETS ALL THE LOSERS STUFF!!" The
dwarf did some quick thinking now. "SURE!!" Vodok yelled back.
Red Un
Red Un got
on his feet once again and started running for the almost dead demon.
Meanwhile, on a hill further away, two persons in black robes looked down at
the scene below.
"We failed. This time."
"Yes. But they will go into the desert soon. And they won't leave
it."
Roku
Yarit
"Palin,
stop playing around and get up!" Roku shouted over the bellows of dwarfs,
apparently teasing the funny little Vodok. But that did not concern Roku.
Taking out his broken and withered hands from his robes, he began to weave blue
strands into a sort of net in front of him. Chanting and weaving, the net grew
in size, much size. This was the delicate part. Roku crept up behind the demon
slowly and silently, suspending the net of magic in the air. He got close
enough that he could smell the seething flesh and the rope sped forth from his
fingertips, wrapping around the demon several times, causing it to topple over
with a thundering bang. "A creature such as this should not go to waste.
Palin, take this thing to my castle. Tell Detlin to take care of the beast with
utmost care. I do not want such a delicate prize damaged anymore then it
already is," he said aloud, casting a angry glance to the dwarves.
Palinthalasa was reluctant to move towards the demon at first but he had faith
in the Sorcerer’s magic and the net that bound it. "As you wish," the
dragon muttered, if a dragon could mutter.
Motioning for the rest to stay back he yelled over the hills, "Your battle
is won. I will dispose of this thing."
Red Un
P'Faard
struggled in the net, and laughed mockingly at the mortals below.
"IT'S NOT OVER YET!"
There was an amazing flash that made everyone shut their eyes, and when they
dared open them again, the net was empty. A faint echo of a voice could be
heard.
"I SHALL RETURN!"
Finally, Red Un got back.
"Hey 'vreyone, did I miss something?"
