REVIEW REPLIES:

Wiggle Lizard: I your tail grows back! :)

Annie: Your welcome. I hope you have enjoyed the junk food and this story immensely!

Autumngold: If I told you wther Danny dies or not, well, then that would ruin part of the chapter for you! I hope I don't let you down!

Macha the Temptress: I'm glad you understood it, and you're right. The Lunch Lady would be a good ally to have when there's no food around! :)

Divagurl277: I'm touched by your words...... tear rolls down my face. Truely touched.

Well, I have nothing else to say, so without further ado, I give you:

Chapter 18: Ending the Battle

Keona's pov

I took deep breaths, trying to regain enough energy to move. Finally, I could move my arms. I snapped my fingers and felt energy flood into my legs.

I tried to walk, but I couldn't do that without putting pressure on my injured leg. I winced as the pain from the Razor Boomerang shot up and down my leg. My right side was a mess of blood. I tore off a piece of cloth from end of my pants and tied it around my thigh. I didn't have enough cloth for my right side however. So I didn't even bother.

Then I suddenly remembered Danny. I crawled over to him and measured his injuries. A torn up stomach, cuts all over his body, and some nerve damage. I checked for a pulse. There was one, but it was faint. At least it was steady.

I put my hand on his stomach and I put the Light of Health to action. I saw cuts heal bruises shrink. The gash in his stomach shrunk and disappeared. After a couple of minutes, Danny came around.

" Whoa. I have to say, that was the worst experience of my life," he said, smiling weakly. " Thanks."

"Anytime." I stood up, shifted to my left leg, and helped Danny up. It was then he noticed my health.

" Keona! You're bleeding! What happened?! Are you okay? Hey, where's Gyrier?" he sounded extremely confused.

" Yes, I know I'm bleeding. I got hit with a razor boomerang and that White Fire spell did a number on me. I'll live though. Gyrier is long gone. I used the Globe of Destruction." I myself was still amazed at that last fact. And I wasn't the only one.

" You used the Globe of Destruction?!" he asked, and I nodded. " Dang! I would have loved to see that! No wonder I didn't see his body anywhere." He looked at me again with a concerned expression. He came up to my right side, ready to help me walk. I looked at him gratefully, then said:

" Danny, let's go. We need to find Sam." there was urgency in my voice. She cold be seriously hurt. " And why are you not with her?" I suddenly remembered the directions I gave to him.

He explained," I was caught up in the battle at the front of the house. then as I escaped and was checking rooms, I heard you scream. I followed its echo and it led me to where you were. I opened the door and saw you ith Gyrier hovering over you. I figured I'd better try to do something." He smiled and we walked out of that room. ( With Danny helping me, of course.)

We began searching all sorts of rooms, but we never found Sam. When I found I had enough energy to fly, I told Danny and he let me go. We began searching by flying. It was so much easier. We could cover more ground.

About ten minutes of searching and still no Sam, we began to worry. We already had covered half of Gyrier's castle. My adrenaline kept rising with every room we checked. I saw a tear stream down Danny's face.

I couldn't help it. I read his mind, ignoring my conscience.

Sam! Where are you? Please be okay. Please be alive. I need for you to be alive. Don't die before we get to you. I love you, Sam.

As we came across a room with a metal door, I reverted back to my own thoughts.

Metal?That's strange. Most people don't have metal doors in their homes.

Suspicious, I opened it, and there lying by the wall, was a body. Sam's body. Sam's limp body.

Danny and I looked at eachother, fear in eachother's eyes, then ran inside. Danny hovered over Sam, seeing if she was still alive. She was breathing, but raggedly, and her heart beat kept on skipping a few beats.

" Sam! Don't die!" Danny cried out, holding her head in his hands. It was the most heart wrenching site I ever saw: Danny now holding Sam's body, placing his face next to her's, and crying out for Sam.

Suddenly, her heart beat started skipping more, and I saw her breathing get worse. She was extremely pale. There was no more time for dancing about.

" Danny, stand back. I'm gonna wake Sam up." I gathered some of magic as Danny reluctantly stepped away from Sam. I threw the Light of Health at her.

As the light engulfed her, Sam's breathing turned normal and her heart beat grew stronger. I saw her complexion come back. Her eyes opened after a couple of minutes.

" Sam!" Dany shouted, and he planted a kiss on Sam's forehead. Even in the dark, I saw him turn a bright red. " Uh, sorry. Just got caught up in the moment."

Sam smiled shakingly and tried to stand up. She succeeded with our help. " Thanks. I'm so glad to see you guys! I seriously thought I was a goner!" And she hugged both me and Danny. I snickered a little as both of them turned red when they touched.

Sam's health was fully restored and we walked out. The pain in my leg was just bearable, but I still needed to limp. And my side wasn't helping any.

I felt Sam hand on my shoulder as she and Danny helped me walk. " What happened?" she concerned. I explained quickly to her all the events she had missed. Her eyes widened as I old her of the fight between me and Gyrier.

" Wow. I really did miss a lot. Wait a minute, why can't you use that health spell on yourself?" Sam asked.

" Well," I told her," scorceresses build up tolerance to their own magic. I need someone else's."

" Oh."

We all came across a hallway and followed the sounds of battle. Soon,we came up to the main battle field. Most of the ghosts were still " alive" , but they were weakening. The other side was losing men left and right, but the Lizards made up for it. In fact, if it wasn't for them, we might have won by then.

" Danny, get Sam out of here. I need to get rid of these Lizards," I shouted over all the noise. He nodded and flew Sam to safety.

I flew up about 60 feet in the air and concentrated on the Lizards and threw a spell called Midnight Attack. It calls upon swords and maces to destroy whatever you're thinking about.

I heard the screams from the Lizards as they dropped dead. I smiled triumphantly and descended. But I stopped smiling when I felt extreme pain in my shoulder. I looked at it, knowing exactly what I'd see. An arrow.

I grimaced as I pulled it out. More pain shot through me and my already blood soaked clothes met even more of my blood. I figured I probably looked like I just came back from the dead. Actually, probably even worse than that. I turned myself invisible before anyone else could shoot me.

As I held my shoulder and tried to keep the world from spinning, I noticed the tide of the battle had changed. Gyrier's men became frightened and some began fleeing for their lives.

I wasn't sure how much time had passed, but I soon saw the other side surrender to us. Skulker held a laser pointing to their commander.

" Yes!" I whispered, punching my fist in the air. But I stopped short when hot flashes of pain helped me to remember that was my bad arm.

I flew down to the fround and turned visible. I took a sword that was lying on the ground and I raced around, trying to find A-ani and Thorn.

I finally found A-ani in a tree. When she saw me, she flew down to greet me.

" Keona! We won! We- what the heck happened to you?!" She dropped her bow and arrows and put her hand on my good shoulder. " You're bleeding! And badly!"

Although I was touched by her concern, I didn't feel like explaining everything again. " Ask me later please. I need Thorn. Where is he?"

She replied," He's finishing a rope spell on Gyrier's men. You know, I would try the Light of Health on you, but I never learned it. Oh, so that's why you need Thorn." I nodded. A-ani was a good friend, even if she was a little clueless, but she was a terrible scorceress.

She led me to Thorn. As he broke his concentration, he looked our way and did a double-take. His wide eyes locked onto mine.

" Keona! What the heck happened?!" He rushed over to me, his eyes holding worry and concern for me. Suddenly, all my energy escaped me, and I fell backwards into his arms.

" Sorry!" I croaked, my voice hoarse but my cheeks red. " Could I tell you later? Four people have already asked me and I'm tired of repeating myself." I winced as Thorn gently laid me down on the ground, checking the extent of my injuries. I heard him whistle.

" Dang, Keona! You don't have one part of your body that isn't covered in blood. You're lucky A-ani brought you to me when she did." I was starting to see everything go black.

Suddenly, a great big light hovered over me, and I felt myself relax to a point where I could have gone to sleep. The light disappeared and I then figured out what happened. " Thank you," I whispered to Thorn. My wounds were healed. The light had been the Light of Health.

" You know," Thorn said, " You're going to have some major battle scars though. I couldn't do anything about that, sorry." He looked at me with an expression I couldn't place to one emotion.

I stood up without trouble. I didn't really care about scars. Then something hit me: We had won. Areon was now free.

I hugged my friends and whispered," We won. We really won! " After I hugged A-ani, I hugged Thorn, and I have to say, it felt really good in Thorn's arms. The sun was coming up, and off in the distance, I saw Danny and Sam holding hands, watching the sun rise.

Another chapter completed! After this, all I have is the epilogue. I really hope I didn't let any reviewer down. And, if you can review as soon as possible, I might release the epilogue sooner than expected! :)

So, stay tuned for the last chapter of Back to the Middle Ages:

Epilogue: A New Beginning
Coming Soon

PS:If I can get six reviews for this chapter, then I'll think about adding something in, and it would make Keona's and Danny's stories a little longer..................... But it's only if I can get six reviews........ :)
