Chapter 2: Enemy Confrontation

“According to the map we should be almost there,” Mosspath announced.

“I don’t see a rock shaped like a banana,” DarkSkies responded.

“It’s a crescent, idiot,” Mosspath snapped.

“Guys, I think I found it,” HadiesStar interrupted.

The trio went into the clearing and found the rock shaped like a crescent.  

“Isn’t Zadimus Bloodgod’s apprentice, Wizshark, supposed to be here?” HadiesStar wondered.

“Welcome friends, I’ve been expecting your visit for some time now and my orders from Zadimus Bloodgod are to destroy you,” threatened a deep voice from behind the rock.  “CLAW, ATTACK THESE FOOLS!!!” Wizshark ordered.

“Furrocious, want some frosting?” yelled DarkSkies.

Furrocious attacked Claw, and then Wizshark taunted, “Frosting? How about some ICING?” and shot ice at Furrocious, freezing the ground and making him slide into a tree.

“MRROW!” yelped Furrocious.

“How dare you do that to him!” DarkSkies cried wretchedly.

“I dare because soon, you and your friends will be destroyed,” Wizshark warned, “And my Master will rule this wretched kingdom as his own! I’ll also kill you for thinking you could catch my master, you insolent fools!” Then, he struck a bolt of lightning towards the group. Then the lightning bolt broke into several smaller bolts to electrocute them all.

“Guys, I’m on low health right now,” HadiesStar told them.

“Eat something,” replied Mosspath promptly.

“I have no food,” HadiesStar returned dryly.

“Why not?” inquired DarkSkies.

Before HadiesStar could respond, he was blasted by a bolt of lightning and died.

“Dang it, I have two lives now,” yelled HadiesStar.

“It’s your fault for not being prepared,” Mosspath retorted.

“Whatever, Furrocious ate my food,” HadiesStar muttered.

“Denial,” Mosspath whispered to DarkSkies within earshot of HadiesStar.

“I heard that,” HadiesStar shot back, sharply.

“Keep fighting, please. It’s very entertaining, but unfortunately I have to kill you now,”  interrupted Wizshark, summoning a fire drake.

“Not today!” roared HadiesStar and attacked.  HadiesStar banged Wizshark in the chest then hit him in the face with the end of his staff and Wizshark lit up in a great, bright, brilliant light.  It was the light of something turning evil to good.

“I feel better now.” Wizshark got up. “I feel good.”

“HadiesStar beat you up so badly you turned from evil to good, it’s his fire magic,” Mosspath explained.

“HadiesStar gave you a whupping, I wasn’t surprised you got changed,” DarkSkies added.

“Well, I guess you can join our guild,” suggested Mosspath.

“I guess I can,” replied  Wizshark. “If you guys can forgive me for what I’ve done.”

“Forgive and forget, but only if you give HadiesStar some food and ale,” Mosspath offered.

“Fine,” whined Wizshark. “But only if you patch Claw up because Furrocious slashed him.”

“Fine, but only if-,” DarkSkies was cut off.

“Enough with the only if’s, ok?” HadiesStar interrupted. “But that food and ale would be nice right about now.”

“Guys, let’s be smart and focus on our real goal: finding and killing Zadimus Bloodgod,” interrupted Mosspath.

“Good luck with that,” mumbled Wizshark.

“SO, YOU WANT TO FIND ME?” Zadimus Bloodgod had crept up behind them without noticing.

“Yeah, that would be nice.” HadiesStar got a fire spell ready. “It’s about time you stopped hiding behind your servants.”

“Traitor, that’s what you are, Wizshark, don’t you want to see your family again?”  Zadimus Bloodgod sneered.

“My family is gone and you can not bring them back,” Wizshark retorted hotly. “You lied to me!”  He sent a million shards of ice flying around himself, and charged, using the shards as armor. HadiesStar sent a bolt of white hot fire straight at his face, while Mosspath jumped on her black feathered mount, NightStar, and took off into the air, shooting another exploding arrow at him. It finally looked like things would go right this time

Suddenly, a portal appeared right in front of the arrow, sending it flying at DarkSkies. The fireball was deflected towards  Wizshark, melting his defenses.

“Oh, dang it,” muttered Wizshark and DarkSkies, as they both have to deal with an ultra hard attack coming their way, without their defences up at all.

Furrocious dove in the arrow’s way but survived.

“How did that happen?” asked HadiesStar.

“I have an underworld spawn, fools!” bellowed Zadimus Bloodgod. “Nothing can stop me!”

“Except your looks,” taunted HadiesStar

“Furrocious is invincible!” shouted DarkSkies across the battlefield. “It’s that simple!”

“Charge!” yelled Wizshark to Claw.

That was another bad idea, as another portal appeared in front of Claw and sent all of Claw’s body onto HallowFire, sending them both crashing to the ground.

Zadimus Bloodgod disappeared through a portal to the underworld

“Oh no, we lost him again,” HadiesStar fretted.

“Don’t worry, if we can defeat all his minions, he will be weakened,” Mosspath encouraged.

“Well, in that case I will find them, and I will kill them!” HadiesStar boasted arrogantly.

“Leave some of them for me too!” piped up DarkSkies.
