"THE PUPPETMASTER"
PART VI- CONCLUSION
By Alpha Draconis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The early mourning sunlight peeked into the inn room. Sheila stirred, and opened her eyes. She got up and noticed Adrian was gone. She looked around. His flail, his shield and his Helm, were here, but he was not. As she donned her own outfit, she realized he must have been talking to the others. She gazed out the balcony into the city of Lut Gholein. She noticed that all of his minions were still guarding the city's walls. This was odd. She left the room and knocked on the door opposite to their room. After several minutes the Hammer opened the door.
"Oh hey She-"
"Where is Adrian?" She asked bluntly. "His weapons are back in the room and his minions are still guarding the city's walls. Do you where he is?"
"Uh no, but this isn't the best time-" The Hammer cut off by a familiar voice.
"Hey where is my shirt?" Asked Ice Angel from somewhere in the Hammer's Inn room. Sheila gawked at him while the barbarian turned a deep shade of crimson.
"I don't even want to know..." She trailed off. "So he's missing? Will you help me find him?"
"Uh, well... you see the Arcane Sanctuary-"
"Oh I get it, the place is more important than your best friend's life?"
"LOOK! This is bigger than you or me, or anyone here. If you want to search for him, do it yourself then!" After that the Hammer quickly guarded his groin but Sheila scratched him in the face and walked off to find her friend, while the Hammer cussed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adrian felt tired but was half awake. He bolted up when he realized that he was in large Tomb-like library with thousands upon of thousands of bookcases. Something tells me I'm not in Lut Gholein anymore, he grimly thought. He realized that he was only wearing his armour. He had no weapons except... for his Yew Wand of the Magus. He was given this a long time ago, but he kept it for adornment and summoning purposes, but he may need it to save his life. He looked around the large room, and a voice seemed to echo throughout the chamber.
"Ah, good. You're awake..." The feminine voice began. Adrian tucked the wand into his belt. If he could get in melee range of his attackers he had an ace up his sleeve. A large rock portion of the ceiling slide aside as a mysterious being floated. At first he thought it was Ice Angel pulling some joke but when he realized that this person was not even human he knew he was in trouble.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sheila had been walking in the blazing deserts for nearly an hour. She noticed no foes in the desert except for maybe one stray Sand Maggot. She was suffering sunstroke but walked on. She knew the odds of finding him here were slim, and even slimmer of him being alive. She ducked behind a large boulder as she saw several Sabre Cats speaking in their native tongue. She was shocked at what she heard. The legendary demoness Arial had captured a bone mage as the said, but Sheila knew it had to be Adrian. The cats left. How was she going to rescue Adrian from the most powerful Sabre Cat on Earth? She knew where temple was, and that's a start. This was not going to be easy she grimly thought as she followed the other cats.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adrian watched the cat approach. She bared her fangs in a twisted smile. In a blur of motion, Adrian pulled out his Yew Wand and slammed it across the side of her face, with that her turned to run, but his legs were frozen to the ground. Her turned around to see the cat.
"Well, it seems as if you will harder to control than I had anticipated." She gloated. She raised her sceptre and out of the skull, a greenish mist emanated from it. Adrian tried not to breath in, but the mist covered him. After several minutes Adrian could hold his breathed for no longer and breathed in the foul air. He struggled, and yelled out in pain for several moments and then stopped moving. In his eyes the blue colour, was gone, and a cloudy dark colour fogged up his eyes.
The cat laughed maniacally and her hideous laugh reverberated throughout the decaying, dank crypt of the underground temple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Hammer swung his twin maces fearlessly, streaming through Blunderbore flesh. The beast wailed and lurched over as the Hammer continued on relentlessly through the demon-infested Harem. Ice Angel let forth bolts of ice freezing and shattering hordes of Horror archers. The two had ventured down far beneath the palace, but had sadly found no survivors. The stopped to catch their breaths, once the monsters in this level were crushed and laying in piles on the floor.
"Not *pant* bad for a *pant* weakling magi." The Hammer panted.
"Yeah, *pant* as least your better in the field *pant* then in bed." She retorted.
"What? *pant* You dirty bitch!" He yelled.
"What's the matter warrior? The truth sting like a cobra's bite?"
"I wouldn't be talking miss 'Easier-to-make-than-a-peanut-butter-and-jelly-sandwich!" With that the Hammer was once again upon the ground in real pain.
While in the desert wastelands Sheila had tracked the other cats to their final destination ...
The blazing sun burned down upon the arid, endless wastelands of the Aranoch. Sheila strained to stay conscious in the insanely high temperature of the desert. As she crept through the narrow valley after the other cats she stopped and saw an amazing sight. Hundreds of cats, maybe more than the ones who besieged Lut Gholein were in this large canyon. After noticing the ruins picketed throughout the canyon, Sheila came to the conclusion that this was the legendary canyon of the Magi.
The cats seemed organized in large battalions. Each battalion was lead by some more powerful cat. Luckily for Sheila, the cats were leaving. Several battalions walked into large portals while other went off into the horizons. Leaving the large temple like structure they near unguarded and empty, like... a tomb.
Sheila checked and double checked that all of the other cats were gone, and she readied her javelins, buckler and slipped several throwing knifes into her belt which she had 'relieved' from Ardidar earlier. She took a deep breath and stealthily ran towards her goal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sheila walked deep into the temple, with the light from the entrance diminishing to nothing more than a tiny flicker of light. All around the walls were grand tapestries and hieroglyphs, depicting the Tal Rasha, and the three prime evils.
At long last she approached a large doorway, stained red with blood, and carved to look like the gateway of hell, with skulls and tortured souls, it was quite a sight to bear witness to. Sheila readied her weapons, nervously looked around. She looked up the doors and opened them. With great noise the doors swung open. Sheila readied herself as she lunged into the room. It was an incredibly large library with bookcases stretching high up. In the room centre was a large throne. She was about to walk when she was slammed to the ground. She turned behind her and saw... Adrian. No, not her Adrian she thought as he saw a dark glow emanate from his eyes. She rolled to one side as this evil Adrian slashed at her with some wand.
"He is under my total control." A Sabre Cat spoke as she emerged from the shadows. "And he is my ticket to rule this world."
"What have you done to him?" Sheila sneered.
"I have made him my slave, and he will be my weapon to defeat Diablo himself! After Diablo is dead, I will be able to control the World Stone in Mount Arreat. Then I will be the most powerful being, even more powerful than the High Heavens, and The prime Evils!"
"You were the one who sentenced me to death!"
"You were a thorn in my side, and you could've have ruined everything, but now you nothing. I'll see you in hell." With that she raised her hand, and the corrupted Adrian attacked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Wanderer and his companion Marius steeped into the cold and dank crypt of the tomb. The Wanderer walked boldly and fearlessly into the tomb while Marius stood at the doorway, looking back into the desert and slowly following his companion into the dark, dark tomb.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The demoness Arial had walked her way over to a large Demonic iron altar while Sheila was trying desperately to avoid Adrian.
"In mere moments, I will teleport all of my troops to destroy Diablo when he is not in his full form, then Baal will be easy to destroy. Then the weakest one, Mephisto will be fair game."
Sheila was backed against a wall and Adrian was menacingly advancing.
"Adrian," She whispered, "What happened to you..."
He rushed forward and began to choke her. There was an unnatural evil in his eyes that seemed to darken. "Adrian please..." She struggled to no avail. "I-I love you."
Adrian nearly fell back, colour returning to his eyes. It was shock to him but it seemed so... right. A black shadow seemed to ooze out of Adrian, and then quickly dissipated into nothing. Adrian felt a pounding headache, and remembered everything... especially what had just happened. He looked towards the evil Cat who stood over the iron altar conjuring unknown power before them. Adrian had enough. Standing up arms outstretched, he concentrated harder than ever before. Blue mist whipped around him, making his brown hair move as if it was alive, while Adrian's eyes gleamed a bright glow.
The cat had nearly made a portal suitable to move her troops with when the iron altar burst upwards, twisting and contorting in a spiralling pattern, eventually forming into a large behemoth of metal, towering before her. She held up her staff defensively, only to have the have the Iron Golem simply stab out his arm directly into her chest. She gagged blood and fell to the ground. The Golem melted back into a metal state, with his task completed.
"Adrian..." Sheila tried to begin, but instantaneously from the other cat's corpse, a red bolt of energy shot towards the throne in the large desert sanctuary. A chain effect, or trap set of explosions throughout the room causing large sections of the room to collapse. Adrian conjured a town portal and pulled Sheila and himself into it mere seconds before the large desert building smashed into rubble.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The town portal opened up in Elzix's Inn, and both of the warriors were flung into the room. Sheila landed comfortably on the bed while Adrian hit the floor instead. Adrian stood, and walked over to Sheila.
"About earlier..."
"I'm sorry Adrian, I was just-"
"No it's not that... I care about you too."
For a moment the two just stared at each other. Then Sheila smiled and hugged him tight, silently crying tears of joy.
Adrian hugged her back thinking over his life. Most Rathmians, left home at a young age, and had to accept that love was not going to happen, but just about everything he learned, had just been turned upside down recently. He left his family when he was five, so he never knew his family. The closest thing he had were the Rathmian Elders who would teach the students, but until now, something had always seemed missing in Adrian's life. Now he knew. And he never wanted anything to change.
The rest is history...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mystic blue portal from Tal Rasha's tomb formed in the marketplace in the center of Lut Gholein. From it came the Hammer, and Ice Angel, covered in blood, and what seemed to be white, maggot-like blood. The Hammer's war hammer was dented in several areas, and Ice Angel's staff was nearly split in two. Both looked like they had been to hell and back.
"I never want to see another tomb as long as I live." Ice Angel moaned. The Hammer just grunted in agreement. Ice angel walked off in another section of Lut Gholein. The Hammer was dead on his feet, and headed straight for his inn room. He trudged up the stairs and noticed that Adrian was back. How could he tell? Adrian leaves his boots out front of his room. The Hammer banged on the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adrian awoke, hearing the Hammer. He stood out of bed, put his shirt on, and walked out to meet his old friend. He opened the door to meet the barbarian.
"Adrian?"
"Ardy?"
"What happened to you?"
"You first."
"Diablo beat us, yadda-yadda-yadda we need to find him and Baal, before they enter hell through the gate in Kurast. You?"
"Was a pawn in a plot for world domination, but killed the evil demoness, with the help of-
"Your kitten friend."
Adrian smiled.
"We're more than friends."
Adrian closed the door, leaving behind a befuddled Barbarian.
Adrian walked into the bedroom, seeing that Sheila had awoken and was staring at the sunset on the balcony. Adrian walked up to her.
(Start playing 'She Likes Me For Me' by Blessed Union of souls)
He stood beside her as the two looked out to the sun as it seemingly sunk into the ocean. Adrian put his arm around her and spoke.
"There's just one thing I don't understand..."
The Sabre Cat looked up at him.
"Why did Ice Angel sleep with the Hammer?" Adrian asked.
"She was probably thinking of you."
"Well you can't blame her." Adrian joked as the two watched the sun set out of sight...
