Chapter 5 - The escape of the volcano
"Do you not know who I am?" A voice echoed all over the room. "Other than a creep? No." Slade answered. "Very funny." The voice said. Then, they eyes got closer and closer. Suddenly, a gigantic creature appeared. It was at least 8 feet tall and it had the biggest arms Kaster had ever seen. Its face looked just like the other the ones Kaster had seen, but its eyes were yellow instead of white. "It's me.Gluck.Perhaps you've heard of me." Gluck said. Peter turned pale. "What is it?" Slade asked. "Gluck..He used to be the advisor of Volcanon." Peter said. "I knew he looked familiar." Slade joked. "Very funny.But you won't be able to escape, I'm afraid." Gluck sneered. "Oh yeah? Take this!" Slade said and charged Gluck. Gluck grabbed Slade's Katana out of his hand, easily. "Dang you! I have a better one, though!" Slade said. He took out his Gisarme and charged once more. Gluck quickly dodged and nailed Slade in the face. Slade went flying backwards into the side of the volcano. He fell unconscious. Peter then went after Gluck. But, Gluck cast Sleep and Peter collapsed. Kaster just dropped his sword and backed up. "Kid.Come with me." Gluck said. Kaster ran over to Peter. Gluck grabbed Peter, with Kaster attached, and also went and picked up Slade.
Kaster woke up inside a huge room filled with Ogres. The room was at the bottom of the volcano, and it had a big pit of lava in the middle. Ogres were all over the place. Kaster looked to his left and right and saw his teammates tied to the wall. He was, as well, tied to the wall. Then, he looked in the middle and saw Gluck leaning over a stone table. "Where are we?" Kaster asked. "We're inside the Ogre home." Sarah said. "Why are there Ogre's everywhere?" Kaster asked no one in particular. "Sacrifice." Peter said, grimly. Gluck turned around and faced them. "You should not have come to our island. But, because you have, you mustn't be allowed to leave. And so, we will do to you as we've done with many others in the past.. Sacrifice!" Gluck exclaimed. "Why sacrifice us? Who are you sacrificing to?" Jaha asked. "Why.. Me, of course." Gluck said with a smirk on his face. Gluck lifted a sword into the air, and, swinging it down, he broke Kaster's chains. He grabbed him, and threw him onto the stone table. When Kaster landed, he saw that the table was stained in both red blood, and black. "Sacrifice is not only for you humans you see. Ogres have also tried to leave here. And so, they died. And now. It's your turn!" Gluck yelled as he brought his sword up. "Stop!" A voice said. "Who said that?!" Gluck yelled with a panicked look on his face. "..Sir...Astral?" Chester whispered. Suddenly a great light appeared in the middle of the room. And, a cloud-shaped form came from the light. And on the cloud was Sir Astral. "Ogres! Attack!" Gluck screamed at them. But, before the Ogres had a chance to attack Sir Astral, he cast a spell on the ground; and the ground collapsed into the lava on which the Ogres stood. Then, Sir Astral looked at Gluck. "Let them go." He said sharply. "Make me old man." Gluck said. "If that's the way you want it." Sir Astral said. And with that, he cast a spell. Gluck looked around him. "Looks as though that spell doesn't exist." He said. Astral smiled. "What?!" Gluck yelled. Astral tried not to laugh, but, let out a little chuckle. "Look above you.." Sir Astral said. Gluck looked up to see a giant boulder hovering above his head.
"Let them go. Or else the boulder will crush you." He said. Gluck just smirked and ran to the right. "I can out-run a rock!" He said. But, the boulder chased him. And, before he had a chance to run again, the rock crushed him into the lava. Sir Astral got off of the cloud and went over to Kaster. "Sir Astral!" Kaster screamed and hugged him. "Yes, I am here." He said with a smile. "You're late!" Slade yelled. "And I have a right to be! You left me on the ship!" Astral said. "You were sleeping!" Slade said. "So?! I wanted to go. So, it's only fair that I show up late." He said and stuck his tongue out at Slade. "And now, I'm sure the Ogre's will have something to say." He said and left with Kaster. "Sir Astral. How did you do that?" Kaster asked. "One day, I'll tell you." Sir Astral said. "..Um...A little...Help here..Please.." Jaha said.
Sir Astral went out of the volcano into a small village, where the villagers questioned him. "Where is Sir Gluck?" They asked. "He has fallen." Sir Astral said. Suddenly the crowd shouted with praise. "Finally he has been defeated. Thank you!" A villager said. "It is alright. But, there are still people roasting in there. Please go release them." Astral said and pointed to the cave entrance. "Of course. You five, come with me!" A villager said and left with five Ogres. Kaster looked at the village. He saw mostly mud-houses. But, there were a few nice sized, wooden houses. And on top of a hill was a gigantic house. "Gluck's house." Kaster thought. Sir Astral was busy talking to a villager about repairing the ship. Kaster looked back into the cave to see the force coming out. Kaster ran towards Chester and Jaha. Sir Astral went over to them as well. "Why'd you leave us in there?!" Slade yelled at Astral. "Maybe it'll teach you to be quiet next time." Astral said. "Peter. Was Gluck really the Advisor of Volcanon once?" Kaster asked. "Yes. But, now is not the time to talk about it." Peter said. "Tell us. Please?" Chester asked. Peter looked at Sir Astral. He nodded. "Very well." Peter said and began. "Sir Gluck used to be the smartest Ogre alive, and the nicest. He was considered by many to be the next Advisor of Volcanon. And, on that day. around three hundred years ago, Volcanon accepted him as Advisor. But, little did everyone know, Gluck was just trying to become King. He killed the king and blamed it on Volcanon's anger. Volcanon was furious about this and he destroyed Gluck, or so we thought. We had only found out around a decade ago he was still alive. But, Volcanon said that he probably died. And, to this day, we haven't had a Advisor to Volcanon." Peter said. "Who was the king?" Jaha asked. "King Bedoe's father." Peter said.
"And his name?" Jaha asked. An Ogre came up to Sir Astral and starting whispering. Astral left the conversation.
"All kings of Bedoe are called 'King Bedoe'. But, his father's name was Luke. The mother of our Luke felt it was reasonable to call him Luke." Peter said. "Nevermind that. It looks as though our ship will be repaired tomorrow. We should all get some rest. Follow me to the mansion." Astral said. They all followed him to the mansion and picked out certain rooms inside them. Kaster liked the dark blue color of the house. It looked like a tornado went through it, though. It was very messy, with papers and weapons all over the place. "We will rest here tonight." Sir Astral said. And with that, Kaster dozed off into a deep sleep.
"Do you not know who I am?" A voice echoed all over the room. "Other than a creep? No." Slade answered. "Very funny." The voice said. Then, they eyes got closer and closer.
