Chapter 41 - The Secrets of Eldritch Menagerie pt#1

All three of the Scorchers looked up at Kai, their eyes filled with anger and frustration, but they had no other choice besides to listen to Kai. "FINE! WE'LL DO WHAT YOU SAY!" 

As the Scorchers spoke, the Eternal Blade turned the quicksand back to the normal sand and removed the barrier around the Scorchers. The Eternal Blade then flew next to Kai, waiting for Kai's next command.

Kai then grabbed the hilt of the Eternal Blade with his left hand and pulled it down from hovering.

The Scorchers stood up from the sand and said, "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!"

"We'll see about that later," Kai continued. "Right now, I want you to carry that carriage to the Eldritch Menagerie."

As Kai said, he turned around and approached Rin and Luna. Kai looked at Rin and said in a gentle tone, "Rin, I'm going ahead. I want you to heal your horses and then come after me."

Kai then released the Eternal Blade from his grip and said to Luna. "The Blade will lead you to me, and if the Scorchers try to do something stupid, it will kill these three and summon three more."

As Kai said, he walked towards Shadow and grabbed his crimson cloak. Before leaving, Kai glanced at Eiera. She had a look of disappointment on her face.

After glancing at Eiera, Kai and Shadow marched ahead at full speed. As Kai left, Rin walked towards Raven and Starlight. Both of the horses were extremely tired, unable to move an inch.

Rin gently placed her hand on both of the horses. Rin surged her healing energy into the horses with her gentle touch. In just moments, the horses' energy was restored.

Luna flew over to the Scorchers, she said in a nervous tone. "We...We are ready. If you..."

"RAAAAHHHH!" Before Luna could finish, the Scorchers roared at her.

"YOU DARE TALK TO..." The Scorchers stopped talking as they saw the Eternal Blade hovering behind Luna.

"FINE!" As the Scorchers said, all three of them walked towards the carriage.

Luna then flew over to Eiera. She spoke to her in a gentle tone. "Eiera, we have to leave."

Eiera responded to Luna with a nod and mounted her horse, Starlight. Rin joined Eiera on Starlight. Aiden also mounted his horse, Raven. 

Luna flew over to Eiera and Rin, with Eternal Blade following her. She said to the Eternal Blade, "Please lead us to Kai."

The Eternal Blade turned around and flew away in the direction which Kai went. Eiera and Aiden followed the Eternal Blade, with Luna flying with them. Leaving the Scorchers behind to carry the carriage.

One Scorcher said to another, "DO WE REALLY HAVE TO CARRY THIS!" He was in disbelief at what was happening to them.

"WE HAVE TO IF WE WANT TO LIVE!" The Scorcher Continued, "IT'S THE WIELDER'S ORDER!"

After listening to the other Scorcher, the other one nodded and said. "LET'S GET OVER WITH THIS!"

As the Scorcher said, he stood in front of the carriage, grabbing the ropes that were tied to the horses before. While the other two placed their giant hands on the back of the carriage, ready to push whenever.

Scorchers took a breath of disrespect. They slowly started to push the carriage gradually, increasing their speed with each step they took. In just moments, the Scorcher's speed was faster than the horses.

"How could I forget that!" Aiden suddenly shouted, startling everyone.

Luna immediately asks Aiden, "Is something wrong?"

"I forgot to ask him about the Eldritch Menagerie," Aiden says.

"ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO THE ELDRITCH MENAGERIE!" Scorcher said.

Aiden and everyone looked to their right. They saw the Scorchers already had caught up to them, and all of them were in disbelief to see the Scorchers matching up their pace by carrying two tons of gold with them.

Aiden nervously asks the Scorchers, "Do you know about the Eldritch Menagerie?"

"YES!" The Scorcher yelled at Aiden.

The other Scorcher said, "HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ELDRITCH MENAGERIE!" The Scorcher continued, "IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SACRED PLACE!"

Rin said, "My brother knows about it. He took us there a bunch of times."

The Scorcher asked, "THEN YOU ALSO MEET THE GUARDIANS OF THE ELDRITCH MENAGERIE?"

Aiden interface, "You three know about the Eldritch Menagerie. Tell me everything you know about it."

"WHY WE SHOULD TELL YOU!" The Scorcher said in fury.

Aiden took a moment before answering, "If you don't tell me about the Eldritch Menagerie. Then, all three of you will be beheaded."

"BEHEAD US WITH YOUR PUNY HANDS!" The Scorchers made fun of Aiden.

Aiden responds with an evil smirk, "You see, the wielder of the Eternal Blade is my best friend. If he found out you three disrespected me, you know what could happen."
