Chapter 13
The dark being went around the tent that was housing the pathetic security detail assigned to protect the old temple of Spirit that held the forth seal. He would destroy the seal and bring his master one step closer to escaping his ancient prison.

Calling apon the evil magic's that the Triforce of granted him, he knelt to the ground and started communicating with the tiny bugs inside of the sand. He began chanting a spell, and soon the Leever began to emerge from the sand. Filled with evil energy, these creatures would sneak up on Knights that were trying to protect this seal and make short work of them. After this task was done the dark being started toward the tan colored temple of Spirits to capture the Geurdo woman who was the descendent of the wise men/Sage that had trapped his master between dimensions…

General Signus was sitting in the command tent checking the surveillance equipment that was monitoring the area. He was sitting in a foldable chair and was looking over his desk display when an alarm went off on the screen. He quickly pressed the alert and it showed the ground monitoring equipment going off of the scale. Signus shouted to his men in the tent, "Get out side and find out what the hell is goin…"

Suddenly the General was knocked out of his chair by a creature popping out of the ground. He hit his head on something hard and the tent started to fall down. "Get the fuck out of the tent!" the General exclaimed.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" A solider outside out screamed. The General grabbed his pistol from his belt and turned himself over and got up and the tent collapsed. He had fired the pistol at an area in front of him disintegrating the material.

The General climbed out of his newly made hole and found him self surrounded by green…blobs? They were spinning around in the sand and they were going after his men then one turned and went after him. He raised his pistol, aimed, and fired at the creature. To his surprise the beam of energy bounced back and the general had to hit the deck to dodge the beam of energies rebound at him. He rolled to his right to avoid getting hit by the creature, then he saw one of his men lying on the ground, his body looked swollen like he had been stung multiple times by the creatures. He ran over to him and checked for a pulse quickly, while dodging the strange creatures. Damn he's dead, he was a good officer too, the General thought to him self as he jumped to the right avoiding getting hit by one of the creatures.

He then brought his comm. unit up to his mouth and pressed a button and said, "Everyone retreat to the HU's, we can't help the downed ones right now, lets get the hell out of here!" the General said as he ran to the HU area. He quickly entered the proper key sequence to gain access to the vehicle and quickly shut the door behind him. Luckily the HU's they had brought were Personal carriers, and he could tell apon entering that it was a good thing that they were because there was someone on the floor, who's arm was swollen to twice its normal size, and he had a burn mark on his shoulder. The General bent down and checked the man's pulse. It was there, but faint, he was tossing and turning on the deck of the vehicle.

The General left him and quickly made his way to the front of the unit and saw that someone was already getting ready to take off. The Lieutenant snapped a salute as the General got into the co pilots chair next to him and said, "We've got reports sir, all crafts are ready to go, we only have two dead."

The general sighed, and said, "I hate to leave them here but we have no choice, tell the others to begin moving out."

At that the General placed his head in his hands and began to shake, for he had never been that close to death before…

The dark being grinned as he entered the Spirit temple, for they had made it very difficult to get far beyond the entrance, but that was no matter to him. There were two large blocks preventing access to either side of him. The room had two torches that lit the entire area, and the entire area had tan brick holding it together. The two large blocks that were blocking his way were black; he cast a spell apon himself that amplified his already super strength twenty times. The went to the right and pushed the block which was preventing him access to the temple. The rock creaked at the strain but began moving forward. After about twenty seconds the rock was out of his way and he made his way down to the area where his next target lay.

Moving in the shadows through a few rooms of the temple he found the woman he was looking for, meditating in front of a large statute which looked like a large woman. From the platform he was standing on he quickly began casting a spell that would make her remain unconscious. Again began his encapsulation spell that would turn her form into a crystal and finally he miniaturized her form and went down to the crystal and picked it up.

He made his exit from the temple and was pleased to see that the Knights were gone and there were two dead bodies left in his wake. He went down the steps in front of the temple and pulled the crystal out and held it in the palm of his hand and cast the levitation spell apon it again. He could see the seal at the top of the Desert Colossus and began chanting the spell that would destroy it.

Lighting began surging between the crystal and the seal, and it broke. Moments after the breaking of the seal, great winds started plaguing the area around the Colossus, and sandstorms began storming all around the area. The Dark being sneered at his dark work and left the quickly left the area, in pursuit of his next target, the grave yard, where he would destroy the seal of shadow….
