Part XVII

Cammi felt his heart freeze when he saw Lilli and Sammi, their hands were bounded together, they were also gagged, they looked to be hanging from invisible thin air until he observed closer and actually saw a thin rope holding them.

They appeared to be unarmed which Cammi was relieved for, but now his attention was fully focused on Tarquan who gave a shrill, cold and empty chuckle before he said

"I knew you would come (pause) now where were we,"

Cammi shuddered slightly at Tarquan's words that dripped with filth as he observed him he looked to be slouching, kneeling down. Cammi knew instantly that Tarquan was not kneeling but instead was bending down on his knees if that what Tarquan considered his thin, black scaly bones to be as it launched at Cammi full force. Cammi however was expecting this and immediately swatted Tarquan away, carefully trying to avoid Tarquan claws as in his other life that what had ended his life along with one of Tarquan's spells, of course he never told anybody this because he thought they wouldn't understand. Beside he knew it was just too horrible and painful to tell them so he just left it at that. Cammi could see Tarquan racing towards him again as the two got engaged in a deep, fierce and furious battle, fighting to the death.

Meanwhile the knights had just cut the rope, which hung the two cubs as they fell into the knight's arms below them.

They untied the two cubs, who were still evidently crying with tears streaming down their cheeks and staining there faces, occasionally a wail would erupt and escape their lips as they clung to the knights with all their might completely shakened and scared. They could see that within the cub's eyes and their expression that they were scared but what cub wouldn't be after seeing, a hideous, old scaly black reptile, an unknown species, which was enough to freeze your blood. The few knights that had come with Sir Plucki and his friends took the cubs and went outside away from sight of Tarquan and his lair while the three remaining knights, Sir Plucki, Sir Blastus and Sir Gumlittle remained behind watching the battle between Cammi and Tarquan.

Sir Plucki seemed to be holding his breath as he watched his son that he had adopted as his own, fight against Tarquan. He felt hatred and anger beyond he'd ever known overwhelm him just by watching the battle, he never thought he'd feel such hatred with a passion again since the battle with the humans but meeting Cavin only a hundred years ago had taught him otherwise, that humans could change. But this he couldn't take, this was his son and only son, defending for his life because this creature Tarquan wanted to take over the entire world and all its inhabitants.

Though he knew he couldn't intervene in the fight because the prophet had said that only one person could defeat Tarquan and that would be a young cub, a reincarnated knight who had once fought Tarquan and became legend though he died while in combat, fighting gallantly against Tarquan, and that young cub was Cammi.

Cammi was now fighting Tarquan hand to hands since his sword was knocked out of his hands, as he looked out of the corner of his eye he could see his father and his friends waiting by ready to give him a helping hand though he knew they couldn't. He partically looked at his foster father and could see he was just about ready to join in the fight by looking at his face, he looked like he was ready to blow up. But that was not was got him interested, it was his father's hatred he could clearly see shining in his eyes, never before in Cammi's life had he seen so much anger, hatred and… defeat in his fathers eyes. He knew what caused the defeat knowing his father couldn't help him, but where did the anger and hatred come from, he thought it was probably because of Tarquan. Cammi's attention soon turned back to Tarquan as he dodged Tarquan scaly black, decaying hand with long razor like claws aimed for his head. He dodged several more attacks before seeing Tarquan summon upon one of his spells, next thing he saw was something of a green mist coming out one of Tarquan's fingers. He quickly realised it was a toxic cloud that Tarquan was summoning and just as Tarquan threw it he teleported to where his father and friends and touching his father's shoulder he teleported them a different location in the cave just as the cloud made impact with the ground. Cammi, his foster and his friends had just appeared at the other end of the cave when a blast of forest green smoke along with deadly black fume surrounding it as a black like skull could be seen in the middle at the other end of the cave.

"Very good" a cold, empty voice spoke to Cammi.

Cammi pulled a face, disgusted as he left his father and friends and continued on with the battle between them, summoning a fireball spell as he did.

But little did they know that somebody was watching them, the strange intruder wore an outfit between a ranger and a warrior, the person smiled as Cammi teleported away from the toxic cloud. It meant that Cammi was prepared and that one of the visions Cammi must have seen and was quick to act when it happened. Though it was dangerous spell being a toxic fume he cared about the lives of other people, even if they weren't near the spell, he still teleported them to the other side of the cave to make sure they were safe.

Cammi felt someone's eyes on him but he shrugged it off thinking it was his father and friends, though he knew they were watching him he was sure someone else was here watching them. His fireball spell had been a bit successful in harming Tarquan slightly when he wasn't expecting it, causing a nasty wound to him enabling him to retrieve his sword.

The fight never seemed to be ending to Cammi, he wondered how much time had passed outside and longed to finish this battle once and for all as he fought against Tarquan just when he summoned another spell to throw at Cammi. This spell was unknown to Cammi as it resembled a small light blue ball but held a lot of power. He suddenly felt like he couldn't move like he been paralysed again just like he had been in that prison Tarquan had kept him in a few weeks ago. He felt afraid and a sad feeling insert him like he had failed, seeing Tarquan aiming the ball at his heart. He froze in his place ready to take the blow from Tarquan as he threw it, he tightly closed his eyes as he awaited the spell, and it felt like an eternity like time itself had frozen. He felt really hot, feeling the energy of the spell drawing closer, the heat raiding off it causing him to sweat.

Everything seemed to be going so slow when his eyes suddenly snapped open hearing someone call his name. It was a familiar voice calling his name as he felt someone run in front of him taking the blow meant for him then felt he could move again. He shielded his eyes with his arm, the spell that tried to blind him, then a scream filled the cave, a scream he was all too well familiar with, it was a scream of death, pain and fear. He slowly opened his eyes to see who had stood in front of him and felt his blood run cold, the colour drained from his face making it deathly pale like he was going to be sick, his eyes beginning to blink with tears and his expression unreadable. His legs gave way and collapsed beneath him as he took the person in his arms he loved. He couldn't believe it, it couldn't be happening, NO!, she couldn't be gone not now when he needed her most. He began to cry as he cradled the woman in his arms and whispered

"Mother"
