Chapter 11: The Northern Mountains
AN:I just want you all to know that I feel incredibly stupid. I've been spelling poor Isaac's name wrong for the past 10 chapters! Sorry!
The trek was over huge foreboding mountains, looming over them. They had to climb over huge rocks, and the very forest seemed to be closing in around them.
This was the Northern Mountains of Hesperia that Isaac, Garet, Ivan, Saturos and Menardi had to cross to get to Jupiter Lighthouse.
They had been on the march for a whole morning when the group finally stopped to rest beside a little stream. Suddenly the whole place was strewn with fire and ashes, as Tiamat landed, folding her great dark leathery wings around her.
"Tia! What the hell are you doing?" Garet yelled above the hiss of the flames she had emitted meeting the stream water.
The immense dragon looked embarrassed. "I thought you might need some help…you all looked pretty tired coming up this mountain."
Scorch tiptoed up Garet's arm. "We summoned her…we didn't think you'd mind…" Garet rolled his eyes.
"Of course I don't mind that I have ash all over me! Why would I?" He grumbled sarcastically. Scorch made a hasty retreat, diving into Garet's pack.
Flint, on Isaac's shoulder, stifled a laugh. Isaac looked up at the Djinni and grinned. "Garet has a real great relationship with his djinn, don't you think?" He muttered. Flint snorted with contempt directed at Garet, who spun around and glared at the djinni.
Menardi and Saturos looked curiously at the Djinn. "Those are the little creatures you use in battle, correct?" Saturos asked. Ivan nodded. "Menardi has one as well."
A fire djinni scampered out of Menardi's pack. It was oddly larger and stronger-looking than Garet's fire djinn. Menardi patted it affectionately. "This is Lava." She said, while the djinn squeaked cheerily.
"How come you've never used it in battle before?" Garet asked loudly. Menardi rolled her eyes. "Because I just found him, that's why, you moron." The group snickered.
A loud roar from Tiamat brought their attention back to her. "Do you want my help or not?" The dragon grumbled.
Garet stroked the spiky tail affectionately. " 'Course we do! C'mon, you guys!"
"Although she might be quite big, we're not all going to fit on her." Kraden observed. "And Procne still is tired out from carrying us all around Allamir."
"Can Lava summon?" Isaac spoke up.
Menardi shrugged. "I guess so…"
"Good idea, Isaac." Saturos nodded approvingly, as Lava crawled onto Menardi's shoulder and glowed for an instant, then returned to normal. "Eiryath is coming!" Lava squeaked.
"Eiryath? What the hell is that?" The landing of a huge dragon, a gleaming gold with glistening red eyes, whose incredibly huge wings were made out of fire, answered Garet's question. "Holy crap…" Garet gasped, staring at the fiery beast.
Menardi patted Lava. "All I can say is, Good job!" She said. Lava squeaked happily.
"Climb on." Eiryath's deep voice seemed to rock the mountain; it was so loud and strong. Ivan covered his ears and winced.
Fearless as always, Menardi was the first to climb astride Eiryath, her long blond hair ruffled by the wind. So of course Saturos climbed up after her, followed by Isaac, who didn't want to be stuck with Garet.
Garet, Jenna, Kraden, and Ivan, who gave Isaac a glare for sticking him with Garet, climbed on Tia, and the two huge dragons flew off, one flapping dark scaly wings and the other flapping wings of flame.
AN: Agggghhhh…short again! This was actually supposed to be part of chapter 10, but my comp got messed up. Anyway, next chapter will be the final one! The group arrives at Jupiter Lighthouse, but a fierce battle awaits them there. With who? Will them win? Find out on the next chapter of Fateful Journey. (I meant to sound cheesy there! Mwahahaha!) Tigra: Rolling her eyes. Anyway, don't worry, there will be a sequel to this story, as it ends at Jupiter Lighthouse. The sequel will be about Mars Lighthouse, obviously. SO pleeeeease REVIEW, and look out for the finale of this story!
