The bitter cold of the outside was replaced with warmth. Inside the giant hallway were massive lit torches." Eco" I shouted as my voice carried all the way to the end of the hallway. Both Hailey and April behind as we walked down the hallway it seemed like it went on forever.
We got to the other end and there was another great door however this one was noticeable different as it had the face a giant on each ear there was a scale one was up to his earlobe and the other the ground.
It opens its mouth causing me to jerk in surprise, the girls were unaffected by this." It's a puzzle door" the girls said in unison. The door spoke it said in a booming voice " only water can balance the scales however thy who fills the scales stays behind" after his voice reverberated and we took in what it said ,we looked at each other.
"well only u too can control water" Hailey said knowability.
"Nak must go on only he can fight Taven" Said April with a smile.
I nodded in agreement. April stood in the centre of the door and raised her arms. April's eyes were fixated on the scale to the right and lift the water out. The ball of water was floating above are heads both scales were now on the ground, but the door did not move an inch.
"there on the ground and the earlobes there are marks" Hailey pointed out.
She was right at the bottom there where black marks and the top yellow." So, balance is the middle" I added. April now with beads of sweet on her forehead took a deep breath. Then suddenly the ball of water burst into two streams and landed on each scale.
The door opened but so did the bottoms of the scales." Go quick" April shouted with batted breath, I grabbed Hailey's arm and ran through the door. It closed behind us as soon as we made it pass the threshold. We were standing in a room with a small bridge.
"it's too easy it got to be a trap" I said worryingly to hailey who's eyes keep darting to the edges of the bridge.
"Do you smell that" she clinched her fingers around her cute button nose
I too smelled it the smell of rot and decay. I pondered about what it could be. I did not have to wait long for my answer as two small dwarfs appeared " Taven has paid us a great deal to get rid of you" the air was colder in here as I look upon the dwarf he was covered in golden battle amour.
I did not even have a second to breath a word when the small dwarfs lunged at me. Quickly I drew my master revolvers and shot two bullets into each of the skulls. They dropped like a sack of potatoes. "that was easy" I boasted loudly then the ground shook. I thought my boasting may have caused an avalanche, but the actual source was worse. About a hundred dwarfs appeared from under the bridge.
They all marched towards me I fought some back. Swinging and swinging a light blade as they drove us thill, we were at the door again." I know what to do" said hailey puffing her checks out till they turned red. Hailey realised her breath and the torches went out. We were in pitch darkness for but a second. Just as I was about to ask Hailey what is going on, she climbed up then I heard a rumble like she broke something.
What happen next, I could not believe her hair started growing and glowing illumining the entire room the dwarfs dropped their weapons and stood in awe" they love gold more than anything run now". Not needing to be told twice I ran across the bridge I hope what hailey did will stick long enough to come back for her>
The final room was a circular chamber rows and rows of empty seat formed arrows to the bottom where there was a smaller circle platform with two burning circles behind in and Taven in front. And in the middle of the triangle was a large flame like being with only half a body.
I snuck as quietly as possible behind the rows of seats. I could finally see what was in the circles of fire, one was a hooded figure the same height as me and the second was a pirate with two horns coming out of his forehead.
"oh, holy mother the mistress of darkness, Killer of angels be reborn and reclaim this world" Taven said his arms raised
"all hail" the other two which at this point must be her two sons. What am I supposed to do if she comes fully through the portal? Without pausing to think I leaped up and shot a beam of light at the portal. Lucifryia gave out a long no before disappearing,
While the other said u failed us Taven and both left. All the lanterns in the room lit up the roof of the room was nowhere to be Taven flew up into the darkness. Moments later he swooped down knocking me to the centre below.
"you will pay" he shouted as he swooped again. I stuck out my arm blasting him with water but he dodged scrabbling my left check as I feel back he drew his sword, I got to my feet and drew a dark blade remembering only dark weapons can penetrate dark amour.
"ah so the basterd son of a goddess can be turned" he said showing his large white fangs.
"you wish "I said with bitterness
"how is master limp...
At the mention of my master I lunged but he parried my strike. Duelling with Taven was hard as he was far better than me. The only thing that kept his sliver blade from tearing me to pieces was the fact that I could push him away with blasts of water.
"enough of this "he shouted as he tore of his amour and turned into to his other form, it did not stop there as he grew and grew. I jumped on his leg as he tore through the roof the wind and rain where pelting my face as I held on for dear life.
He grabbed me of his leg with a great Gray hand. Then I realised his mistake, he was amour less now I thought to myself as Tavin's giant hand was crushing me. I concentrated with all my will and turned myself into a ball of light he opens his now burning hand as I fell to the mountains edge.
Rising to my feet I shouted "by Aszu I banish you from this earth" the clouds formed a black swirl as lighting struck the spear I formed. I threw it with my might as it pierced the dead centre of his chest. He stepped back in anguish as I leaped towards him like time stooped moving.
I just about caught my spear as now I was gliding down a waterfall of blood. I landed in what was now a pool of Tavin's blood his body parts all over the chamber. I swam to the edge and pulled myself through the door and collapsed.
