chapter 10
Gregor asked Vikus if Fang can go to save Ripred. "Gregor, you are leading the quest. Do what you want."
Vikus said. Gregor, Mareth, Luxa, Aurora, and Fang took off to get Ripred. Gregor thought about the quest.
Eight will go,
six will come back.
one over, two under,
one gnawer, two fliers one hisser, one crawler.
"Gregor!" Mareth yelled "Do you have a sword?"
A sword! How could Gregor forget? "No, I forgot." He said. "Here, take this." He tossed a sword at Gregor.
He easily caught it. "Thanks, Mare-" He looked at the sword. It was sandwiches sword! The sword that he killed the bane with... Gregor stared at the sword. It was exactly as he remembered. Several hours later, they stopped so the fliers can rest. Luxa had first watch. Gregor couldn't sleep, after 20 minutes Gregor couldn't stand it. He walked over to Luxa and sat down by her. "Why are you awake?" Luxa asked Gregor.
"I couldn't fall asleep." He told her. They didn't talk for about an hour. "Gregor," Luxa finally said, "after this can you show me the Overland?" Gregor looked at her before smiling "Sure, I love to." She kissed Gregor.
Luxa said "Thank you,"Gregor said "No problem, Lux-" He stopped. He turned around and looked at Mareth.
Then looked over to thier right. "What is it?" Luxa asked him. "Nothing, I thought I heard something."
A little after Gregor heard a noise, he saw a red-figure. It looked like a... cutter!
"Luxa, I think I saw a cutter."
"Gregor your eyes are just-"
"Ahh!" They quickly turn and saw a cutter over Mareth, he was losing blood, and fast. "Mareth!" Gregor yelled as he ran towards the cutter. He cut it in half. Blood sprayed every where. "Mareth!" Luxa said. Gregor checked to see if his heart has still beating. It was! "Fang, take Mareth back!" Gregor looked to where Fang slept. Fang was dead. How did he died? Gregor's Rager kicked in. Cutter where starting to close in on them.
"Luxa! Take Mareth back to Regaila on Aurora!"
"Gregor, I will not lea-" "Go!" Gregor yelled "Get out of here! I don't want him to die. I will be ok." Luxa started to cry when she took off. Gregor knew that she had never cried since her mom and dad died. Gregor looked at the army of cutters. Gregor was furious, He felt his Rager side growing, It was taking over his body. His vision was getting blurry. He ran towards the cutters, killing one after another. A couple of hours of fighting,
bodies were every, and the cutters finally gave up. Gregor's Rager was giving up too. He was tried, then he noticed the cutters were running away. Gregor followed them to find Ripred.
When they stopped Gregor looked around for a cage. He snuck past a couple of cutters. After 6 hours of searching, he finally found. Of course, it was locked. He was spotted by two guard, they sprinted at him.
He had to hurry, What did he have? A sword! He felt stupid. He pulled out his sword and broke the lock.
"Ripred!" He said when the cutters attack him. He didn't have his Rager this time. He knew he was dead.
Then a cutter flung itself at Gregor. But for it landed a tail smashed the guard into the wall, and Gregor sliced the other one. He made sure it was dead by stabbing his sword thought it so many times.
"Well, someone finally comes to get me. I was in there for days!" Gregor looked up and saw a rat with a diagonal cross on his face.
"Ripred!" Gregor said.
"How are you, warrior?" Ripred said. Gregor smiled "Sorry, there is another prophecy and I'm the Hero this time."
"Of course there is." Ripred sighed. "Ok then let us go."
Ripred followed Gregor away from the cutters. They were about a mile away, then something tripped Gregor. He looked down and saw he was bleeding. How did that happen? He turned and saw a red branch. No it was a cutters leg! "Ripred! They surround us!"
Ripred yelled "I can tell!" Gregor turn to Ripred and there were hundred of cutters! When the first dove for Ripred,
a sword drove through its head. They looked up and he saw Luxa on her bond "I leave for one day and you get your self in a war." Luxa was about to land, but something with white fur, jabbed Aorura in her right-wing. She was able to land. Blood was rushing out of her wing. "Aurora! Are you ok?" Luxa said. "Yes." She was clearly in pain. Gregor looked over at where they got attacked. What he saw made his heart stop. It was the Bane!
