Dying of the Light
Ch 11
Dante opened his mouth as he slowly pulled Kaye away from it with his tail. "I almost forgot how sweet human blood could taste." Dante said with slight amusement.
"You monster! How dare you! Put my parents down, now!" Sian replied angrily as his eyes lit up like fire.
"Monster? Look who's talking?" Jakobe said as he gave Sian a skeptical look.
"Sian, I was wondering what it would take to finally get you here. Now I know." Dante replied as he waved Kaye's bleeding body in front of him, and then threw her to the nearest wall.
"Mom! Why you!?" Sian spat angrily as his scales started to change colors.
"Uh uh, I don't think so, aren't we forgetting someone?" Jakobe asked as he held up Kento by his tail, and then he too threw Kento into the wall next to Kaye.
"Dad! All right, that's it! It's so on!" Sian replied as his scales turned totally red.
"Yes, that's it, Sian, let the rage take you over. Let it consume you." Dante taunted as he and Jakobe started to circle him.
===========================================================
"I can't believe that we're doing this." Sage said as he and the others were following the warlords in one of the many secret tunnels that were all over Talpa's castle.
"Get over it, already," Cale replied as they continued walking. "And keep it down, we don't want to alert the soldiers topside."
"I don't take orders from you, Cale." Sage shot back.
"Sage, back off." Ryo replied as he got a hold of Sage's arm.
"Sage, calm down. We're as worried as you are about Kento, Kaye and Sian, but if you go off on Cale and the rest of the warlords now, we won't be able to help them." Rowen said as he tried to reason with Sage.
"Alright, I get your point. Now let go of me." Sage replied reluctantly.
"Are you sure that we're going the right way?" Cye asked as they continued on through the tunnel.
"Look Torrent, you didn't have to come with us. You could have tried your luck and burst through Talpa's main gate. But if you did that, then it would have taken you twice as long to find them.
Besides, by taking this tunnel, there's a possibility that they could still be alive when you get there." Skehmet replied.
"This is it." Anubis said as he stopped.
"What's it? Anubis, what are you talking about?" Ryo asked as he looked towards him.
"This is as far as we go. Just go straight down the tunnel, and when you get to the end of it, pull down on the second torch and then a secret wall shall open for you. But it can only be opened from the outside, once in you're on your own." Anubis replied as he and the other warlords began to leave.
"What?! That's it? You're just going to turn tale and run?" Sage asked in disbelief.
"We did what we were suppose to do, and now we're leaving." Dais replied as they started to leave again.
Ok, now at this point, Cye had more than enough. He knew that his family was in extreme danger, and could possibly die, and the warlords didn't act like they even cared. "Alright that's it!
I'm tired of always being the quiet level headed one! You bloody cowards are going to come with us, and I don't bloody care if you like it or not!" Cye spat out angrily as he got ready to deliver his sure-kill at them.
"Have you lost your mind, Torrent? If you do your sure-kill down here, the whole place could come down on top of our heads!" Cale asked in surprise.
"Cye, what are you doing?!" Ryo asked as he grabbed onto Cye's Yari.
"Ryo, in case you didn't notice we're up against two very large dragons. And you're just letting those cowards walk away! We're going to need all of the help that we can get!" Cye replied as he glared at him.
Just then a very loud roar erupted into the air. "What was that?!" Sekhmet asked as the tunnel stopped shaking.
"It's Sian, it looks like the poison has ran its final course." Rowen replied as he looked down towards the tunnel.
"Well, are you going to come with us or not?" Cye asked as he glared at the warlords angrily.
============================================
"Am I dead," Kaye wondered as she slowly began to come around. "Nope, not dead, just have a major gaping hole in my side that just won't stop bleeding."
"Anyone get the license plate of that truck?" Kento asked groggily as he finally came around.
"Kento, hey Kento, are you ok?" Kaye asked as she tried to sit up next to him.
"You mean besides the ringing in my head, very sore ribs, and the possibility of a...ah! Broken leg, then yea, I'm feeling just fine." Kento replied as he looked over to her.
"You missed the part of where you have a gash on the side of your head that's bleeding." Kaye said as she tried to give him a small smile.
"Yea, I guess that I did. What about you, are you? Shit Kaye! Your side!" Kento exclaimed as he saw the hole in her side and the pool of blood that was beside her.
"It's not as bad as it looks." Kaye replied as she was trying to put up a front for him, but in actuality, her wound hurts a lot more than she's letting on.
"Come on, we're getting out of here." Kento said as he was slowly getting up as he stabilized himself against the wall.
"Kento, in case that hit on the head that you got somehow erased your recent memory, we can't get out of here because there's no door. And besides, neither of us are in much of a condition to be traveling anyway." Kaye replied as she reminded him of their situation.
"Did someone say something about not having a door?" a voice asked as soon as the smoked cleared.
"Ryo, you know, all you had to do was pull down the second torch, you didn't have to blow a hole in the wall." Rowen replied sarcastically.
"Hey, it worked didn't it? I got us in, and I also provided us a way out." Ryo said with a
smirk.
"If you would stop patting yourself on your back, then you would realize that we have
trouble...Big trouble." Sage replied as he drew their attention towards the hunters.
"So you've made it after all. And I see that the warlords are actully working along side with you." Dante said with light amusement.
"Yea well, it wasn't our idea." Sekhmet replied in slight annoyance as he glanced over at Cye.
"It doesn't matter if it was your idea or not, when we're done here, the only thing that'll be
standing in our way for total world domination, is Talpa. And he will be an easy push over." Jakobe said in an arrogant tone.
