Chapter 61
"Master Talpa," a harsh voice called out. "Master Talpa."
The lord of the Nether Realm teleported back to his throne room, "Does something trouble you Anubis?"
"Master," Anubis supplicated, "I wish to fight Ryo of the Wildfire in open combat."
"You do not need to," Talpa replied, "Wildfire and Strata will be destroyed by the fire ball."
"No!" Anubis yelled, "He took so much from me. I must kill him myself!"
"I'm assuming that you're talking about your partner?" Talpa questioned.
Anubis almost had a heart attack. When Talpa saw his Warlord of Cruelty's face, the floating head chuckled. "Do not think I don't know about the Partnership. I can promise you one thing: when Wildfire and the other four armors are defeated, you will have your partner all to yourself."
"Wildfire took her from me," Anubis began in a more frantic tone of voice, "I must kill him with my own bare hands."
"Are you questioning my decision?" Talpa asked in a threatening manner.
"No master," Anubis began, "But letting the fireball destroy Ryo of the Wildfire does not fulfill the required law of vengeance."
"ENOUGH!" Talpa yelled, "I WILL NOT PERMIT YOU TO SECOND GUESS ME!"
"But master…" Anubis began, before two bolts of red lightning shot out of the floating head's eyes.
"YOU WILL NOY DEFY ME AGAIN," Talpa's voice boomed, "NOW LEAVE MY SIGHT."
Anubis protested, but was spirited away.
The battle was fierce, but somehow, Jazalyn managed to hold her own. 'Why aren't more soldiers attacking me?' She thought, 'And why haven't reinforcements showed up?'
Jazalyn was snapped out of these thoughts when she heard Sarah scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
NOTES:
1. In Anubis' time, to take revenge against a wrong was considered honorable. There was a formal process in an act of revenge. The person must present his or her case to the Daimyo and after the Daimyo studied the case, then he would give the person a letter authorizing the death of the offending party. During the Meiji Restoration in 1873, the tradition of revenge died out.
