Well here is Chapter 12. The end is coming. I have the prologue for Phantom of The Labyrinth written. My betas are looking over it. Thanks for the reviews. Now enjoy chapter 12.
Chapter 12
Kalida raced down to the entrance of the Castle. She began throwing crystals at the Golems' gems. All the goblins and warriors around her cheered as the golems fell into rumble. The giant beings weren't too hard for her in fact it was becoming dull.
"This isn't as hard as I thought."
Kalida climbed up a wall and looked out over the courtyard and what very little else she could see. Fire kept the ice creatures away while the stone being through at the golems were working. It seemed that everything was going according to the new plan.
XOXOX
Malek looked out over the battlefield from the small balcony outside the Throne room. He watched as Kalida became bored with attacking the golems. Yes it did become repetitive. Then he looked out farther away from the Castle. That was when he saw it.
He knew Eira would try to get one to join her. A giant was a good ally for her, since they were really nearly indestructible. Also they are extremely rare. She must have done something to gain its trust. Kalida probably didn't know its weakness and the thing was heading right for her. He had only one choice. Kalida would be angry about finding out, but then she would realize how much she meant to him, hopefully.
XOXOX
Kalida glanced out over the battlefield. Then she saw the massive creature. She had never seen one, and she didn't have a clue what to do. But she did have an idea that just throwing crystals at it wouldn't work. Suddenly the Raven flew past her. The black bird soon landed on the ground beside her.
Then Kalida watched as the Raven, whom she considered her best friend, who knew all of secrets, her dreams, and her worst fears, transformed into Malek. The High Princess stood in shock, but slowly anger began to fill her.
"It was you!"
Malek nodded. "Yes it was me. And before you go off, your father knew."
"He knew."
"Kali, we don't have time. We need to aim at the giant."
"Giant?"
"The massive creature coming this way."
"Oh. We can take it. Now start explain why the hell you were following me since I was little!"
Malek raised his right hand at the giant and hit with a blast of power. "I did it to be sure you were alright." The creature groaned, but kept coming.
Kalida threw a crystal full of magic at it. "That doesn't mean you can watch me. God, when I think of all the things I told you." The giant had slowed at bit.
"Kali, your father did the same thing." He threw more magic at the creature. "Besides you needed a friend. There was no there for you to talk to." The giant barely moved and groaned in pain.
"I don't care what my father did. You should have told me earlier." Kali threw another crystal, this time turning the giant into a statue. "I thought he was my friend."
Malek moved towards her. "I am. I've never told anyone what you told me. Not even your father when he asked. I didn't want to lose your trust." Kalida stood still as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against him. "Kali, I should have told you sooner, but I've been worrying about your father's plan and being sure you and your family was safe."
Kalida wrapped her arms around his neck. "Just promise me there will be no more secrets."
"I promise."
Then they heard a sound coming from the entrance. They turned to see a group of goblins clearing their throats.
"King Tobias says you are needed back in the Throne room, your majesties."
Kalida and Malek nodded. Slowly they unwrapped their arms from around each other and made their way back to the Throne room.
XOXOX
Malek and Kalida entered the Throne room. Toby stood near the map of the Underground. The two walked towards him. Toby turned to face them.
"Well, the army is destroyed, but she still has Jareth."
Malek glanced at Kalida. "Well, we don't want her to think we are coming after so soon. I think we should fly. Besides no one knows our forms. Do they?"
Kalida looked at her uncle. "As far as I know, no."
"We better get going."
Toby nodded. "I agree, but, Malek, what will we do if this fails?"
"It can't."
The three moved to the balcony. Malek transformed into the raven, while Kalida turned into a Merlin falcon and Toby into a hawk owl. The three birds of prey headed towards the Crystal Castle to finally free the High King and save the Underground. The army followed after their leaders ready to free the land of the Ice Queen.
