It was a long walk but the three friends eventually arrived at the Speartip Mountain.
But the walk here was nothing compared to the work it would be to climb this Behemoth of a Mountain.
Dozens of cliffs, falling rocks and breaking paths were besides the harpies and Lamias the only thing they would encounter.
It took them hours and when they were only one cliff away from the cave of the harpy king two colourfull Harpies blocked their path.
The Male one had deep blue feathers with white dots on it making it look like as if he was carrying space in his wings.
The female one had bright Rainbow coloured feathers.
"Let us through and we'll spare you!" growled Diria.
"We won't. I am Aurora and this is my brother Borealis. We are the elite of the elite in the army of the harpy king. We guard his highness from any danger and that means you!" shouted the female Harpy.
"We can take them, Isaac. When you see an opening go for it and rescue Amalia!" said Harz.
The two Harpies dashed towards the group which split up to dodge the attack.
Isaac immediately ran through the defences and climbed the cliff that the harpies were trying to guard while Diria and Harz distracted Aurora and Borealis.
When he reached the top he ran to the cave entrance but suddenly a spear with a chain on it landed right infront of him.
Something pulled on the chain and dragged the spear back in the Shadows of the cave.
Now a Sodu Kanis showed himself and smiled by the sight of Isaac.
"Who are you?" wondered Isaac.
"Is that how you greet an old friend of yours, Isaac?" replied the Kanis.
"Wait... You're Tenebrus!?"
"Things changed, didn't they?"
"Before I tear you to shreds answer me two questions:
A. Why did you kidnap Amaliaand
B. How are you capable of remembering me? Didn't the Crystal delete your memories?"
"To answer your first question, Isaac, I only needed her to attract you to my cave so I can get my revenge after all those years. But I sadly can't answer your second question. I don't know why I can remember... But I'm happy that that's the way it is. Wouldn't it be horrible if I were to forget all the fun we had back then in Pre-hell? I'm sure Viridia would agree with me- oops I forgot..." laughed Tenebrus with a wicked grin.
"YOU BASTARD!!!" shouted Isaac and dashed forward.
The two began a brutal fight which even destroyed parts of the cave behind them and eventually took them to the edge of the cliff.
Some Harpies were watching the two fight and even Amalia managed to see some of it through the bars of her cage.
She tried to convince some of the harpies to help her husband but she wasn't succesful. However one harpy felt sympathy for her and opened her cage after putting it down from the ceiling.
Isaac was pinned to the ground by Tenebrus who pressed the spear's handle against Isaac's throat making it hard to breath for Isaac.
"I wanted to do this for so long, Isaac! You don't know how much I'll enjoy cursing you!!! Say goodbye to everyone you loved and especialy to your own sanity!!!" Growled the Kanis but Amalia came out of nowhere and used a sharp rock to stab Tenebrus in his right shoulder in which the piece of the dark Crystal was imbeded in.
