Chapter 7

The beginning of an all out war…

"Tech, you lead the archers" I said, she saluted me and left.

"Des and Seher, you go to the mages" They nodded and left.

"Xavier and Czaph, you come with me to the front lines" They both nodded and stood at either side of me.

An army of undead dracolich appeared holding large boxes. I waited for the archers to cut some down, before I gave the signal. Sepulchure's speech only filled me with more determination.

"Alright, it's time. Grab your sword Ash, let's go!" I raced to the battlefield.

"Chaaarge!"

All my friends, a group of togs, and an army of undead skeletons charged for the minions. It was chaos for awhile, and I watched helpless as the guardian tower went down.

"Sepulchure!"

"Your army is defeated"

"This ends now!"

He appeared in the middle of the battlefield, my heart sped up. Even after all the things he has done, I can't help how I feel. But I won't let this continue any longer, I raised my sword.

"Hmph" He raised his sword.

"I've been waiting a long time for this, Intex" I charged at him.

I fell on my knees after a blow and Fluffy roared, a little red dragon flied toward us and landed beside Sepulchure.

"A…Another Dragon?"

"Recently hatched" His voice as always, was void of any emotion.

"Akriloth…"

"His father happily welcomed him to this world"

No….

"Your circle of allies grows smaller, Intex"

"Celestia…"

"You will watch your friends… your towns… fall to me"

"You will be the last, when all is lost you will surrender to me!"

"I will teach you the ways of the darkness, and together we will rule this world!"

"We had a deal"

"Fool, I never planned to side with you"

"This… This is true power"

"This is the only way to bring her back" He whispered more to himself.

"I may not be able to defeat you alone… but your army is gone and this world is still full of heroes"

He laughed, it wasn't like the first time I heard it, this was more hard and unforgiving.

"Defeated my army?"

"Did you think it would be that easy? That was just the first wave, fool!" He laughed and disappeared.

"Intex" I heard Ash call.

"Intex, are you alright?" I stood up.

I faced Ash and the Guardian, "I'll live"

"By the Avatars, look!" he said and looked up.

I looked up. A new wave of minions was flying our way. "This war isn't over yet"

"But I will not rest until I see the Orbs safe. The darkness beaten" I looked down.

"I will fight Sepulchure with my last dying breath. The Light will break through!" I said determined.
