Chapter 45 - Battle with Warhoon

Hadrian heard roar from Toruk,as he quickly went out and both Nuala and Dejah also followed behind them.

Hadrian had already guessed this placed having some sort of alarm and the Keepers probably noticed their entry into the temple.

As they came out and from atop the Gates,they stared down at a grim sight.

The cliff side above the river… where teemed with Warhoons. Tars Tarkas had described the Warhoons to Hadrian: snarling, savage, piratical cousins of the Tharks, with deadly gnarled teeth and sharply hooked tusks. Hundreds of them stood massed on the bluff, firing off an almost solid wall of spears and arrows at our direction,even though none came close.

Some Warhoons sat astride thoats while others rode banths, eight-legged beasts with rat tails and sharp lionlike claws.

Hadrian saw Matai Shang among them,but he soon disappeared.

Hadrian then looking at both his lovers said"You both get going,I just saw a Keeper."

Dejah and Nuala nodded and quickly climbed on to their Banshee's and flew away,as avolley of arrows whizzed between them.

Hadrian uses the flying spell of Voldemort

as he turn into pillars of black smoke and rushed through the air. 

In jet out of the darkness,Hadrian whoosh!.As the pillar of smoke plummets through the sky

and lands on the ground like a shadow ripples across like a kite made of water.

He landed at a distance infront of the Warhoon army,just as a piercing horn blast rang out, assaulting his senses. The Warhoon horde charged, bearing straight down on him. A hundred howling, slavering beast warriors, each of them four times his size, spears and arrows cocked and flying.

Hadrian eyes sharped as he muttered"Protego diabolica."

He spins and draws a protective circle of black fire around himself.

Which suprised Matai Shang who watching this from a distance.

Hadrian sends a wall of flames into the air at the incoming army of Warhoon.The Warhoon just turned into dust upon contact with cursed blue fire.

The fire becomes more monstrous, lashing out with eellike spurs. The black flames are coming toward the Warhoon, fast.

But the circle of fire lashes out in ever more violent spears.Hadrian just waved his hands as the forks of fire strike at all the Warhoon,who now knows the emotion of fear.

The black fire pursues them like a manyheaded hydra, erupting out into the sky,the fire has unleashed soon took the forms dragon-like creatures intent on annihilation.

These flames chased them as though they were alive, sentient, intent upon killing them. Now the fire was mutating, forming a gigantic pack of fiery beasts: Flaming serpents, chimaeras, and dragons rose and fell and rose again, and the detritus of centuries on which they were feeding was thrown up in the air into their fanged mouths, tossed high on clawed feet, before majority of the Warhoon army was consumed by the inferno.

Hadrian watched as the remaining Warhoon fleeing from sight and leaving nothing,but scorched earth.As he thought "I must take out Matai Shang and Urassan from play quickly otherwise things could get ugly."
