Chapter Ten

Unlocking Mohair

Back at Zeig's Lair, Cory reported what he did.

"Hmph," Zeig chuckled. He was again sitting on his throne. Phantom and Jack were sitting back to back and it looked as though they were unconscious. "So, David betrayed us?"

"Yeah," Cory replied with a sad sounding low voice. "But he wasn't trusted enough by me anyways. Besides that, I killed him, and warned Lance that if he comes, then his fate is mine."

"Excellent," Zeig replied, and for the first time in his life, he smiled decently. "Although," he started as his smile faded away, "now we're one less soldier. You just had to kill him didn't you? I'm partially ashamed. And you told Lance not to come? Do you know what he'll do?"

"Well-" Cory started as he was cut off.

"-No," Zeig finished him. "Now, if he listens, he'll have more time to recruit soldiers!" Then, Phantom and Jack awoke.

"What'd we miss," Jack asked.

"And where's David," Phantom asked as they both started to rise.

"He's in hell," Cory told them. "He's dead, gone, deceased, lifeless! Do you need me to say anymore?" Cory asked with a rising, but yet low voice and a drawn bloodstained dagger.

"Nothing," Phantom said with a trembling voice and Jack said with a brave voice.

"Oh shut up all of you," Zeig yelled at them all while rising from his throne. "Now the next plan of mine is to draw out Mohair from the Dark Dragon Stone, and send him to the forest. That's where Feyrbrand comes in. Feyrbrand will sense Mohair in the area and attack! Now all we need to do is release Mohair." The others just watched as Zeig telepathically opened a door that blended in with the walls next to it. Then he entered the dark corridor, leaving the others behind, and closing the door again. Zeig then yelled out, "Blazer," and all of the torches around him lit up in a heartbeat. The room looked all moist and wet. It was, of course, a dungeon where the walls had dried blood on them, and dried bones lying against them. Even though the torches were lit, the room was still dark in some places. Zeig moved onwards into the darkness. After that, he turned down a hallway and the room was pitch-black. Zeig obviously knew where his destination was. He moved onwards even more. Then, he came to a big and open area. A glow of a very dark purple lit the room. Then he noticed a huge, dark, stone dragon who sat in the middle of the dark and moist ground. "Mohair," he said softly, "it's time to awake." Then, he took out his dragon stone, and raised it up. It sparkled and shined a dark light. The stone dragon's eyes responded with a dark purple glow. Then the dragoon stone resonated, and glowed a blinding dark light, that broke the magical seal holding Mohair. When the darkness faded away, the dragon Mohair was released! His body was a dark blue, purple and black all combined into one color. He also had giant wings and razor-sharp claws.

"GRAWERL," Mohair roared.

"You will obey me," Zeig said loud and clear while holding the stone in hand up high. The dragon roared again as Zeig gave command, "You will follow me to the forest. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

"GRAWERL," Mohair roared again.

"Now break the ceiling that holds us here, and bring us to the forest!" Then Mohair stood up, and his razor-sharp claws destroyed the damp ground below. Zeig then transformed into the Dark Dragoon, with all the same armor as Lance, except that the armor that Zeig had on was black and a very dark purplish-blue. Then the Dark Dragon Mohair slammed through the ceiling, and Zeig flew after him.
