I don't own Deltora Quest, BUT I do own Jeeordina and her crew as well as
the dangeronts, and anything else that isn't in the previous book that I
cant be bothered mentioning. Again I am soooooo sorry about the riddle in
chapter 9 not working. If u haven't seen it yet, then go to my reviews
where you will find what the riddle was supposed to say.
Chapter 11- the dangeronts
Leif looked up into the faces of the dangeronts. Their flashing eyes stared back at him, thinking of the meal they would soon have. The boat had stopped dead, as if it knew its danger. The sky was dark now but every now and then a brilliant flash of lightning would illuminate the clouds. Rain began to fall as Leif swallowed, waiting for the dangeronts to strike. The rain trickled down their large heads, but they did not move. Suddenly, as a massive clap of thunder roared and lightning flashed, the dangeronts lifted their scythe-like arms above their heads and let out a piercing screech. Leif covered his ears in agony as the sound echoed in his head. Then with lightning speed, three of the dangeronts leaped out of the water and dove towards Leif. Leif yelled as the boat swerved to dodge the knife-like teeth, as the dangeronts plunged back into the dark water. The boat sped onwards, but Leif cried out in dismay as he saw the other monster dive under the water to give chase. Kree screeched as the two grey shapes streaked in front of the boat. I am about to die, and I am dragging down Kree and Filli with me, Leif thought to himself sadly. He was suddenly flung to the front of the boat as it stopped abruptly. Two giant sickles sliced through the air, trying to sever the tough timber of the boat. Leif gasped as the front of the boat splintered into tiny pieces. Leif looked up into the flashing eyes of the dangeront. I am finished, he thought as the monster slowly lifted its arms. Then from the back of Leif's mind came a part of the message on the rock. If you are not here soon, Jasmine's life will end. He could not let Jasmine be killed! Suddenly Leif was filled with new energy, an energy fuelled on hatred, and fear. Hatred for Jasmine's captors and fear for her life. He grabbed his sword and held it ready. The dangeront let out a terrible screech and dived towards Leif. He shut his eyes as the grinning mouth gaped wide ready to kill. But nothing was happening. Leif opened his eyes to see the monster's face twisted with pain. He felt cold blood trickle down his arms to settle in a silvery pool at the bottom of the boat. Then the dangeront's long body began to crumple and melt. It's body quickly oozed into the ocean and turned to water. Leif sighed and sat down. He closed his eyes, completely forgetting about the danger still lurking around him.
