Elvengirl10: Yay, chapter 2. Now POTC comes into play. Just to let you all
know..... I have everything up to chapter 4 finished and probably more as the
week progresses. Ah, the joy of a boring French class.
Reviews:
Itzel: Thanks.
Sword of Seals: Thanks. I never thought of it that way but yeah, it is like LOTR. Thanks for the thought.
DrillingPlanet: I'm fully aware that I made Jaffar more talkative. I am trying to get his real personality out in later chapters. Thanks for being my first reviewer.
Chapter 2.
Ephidel collapsed against the wall. He and Sonia's fight had ended. Neither had been the victor. Both were exhausted and breathing hard.
"Don't...think...this...is...over...yet..." gasped Sonia. Ephidel rolled his eyes again. Jaffar appeared at the door. Sonia looked over.
"So, you don't bring the siblings, yet you bring the angel of death."
"Once again, I'm not that stupid," replied Ephidel, trying to get up and failing. Jaffar went over and helped him up. Brendan Reed went over to his wife.
"Get that abomination out of my sight!!" she shouted at Brendan, before collaspesing in his arms.
"Finally, peace and quiet," muttered Ephidel, "so what happened? I thought you were going to do the talking?" he asked Jaffar.
"I did. While you were engrossed in your little cat fight, I talked with Brendan Reed and he will give us assistance."
"That's good," said Ephidel, right before he fainted from exhaustion.
"Would you like to stay the night?" asked Brendan.
"Do I have a choice?" replied Jaffar.
The next day dawned and Ephidel awoke feeling much better. Sonia did not appear at breakfast, with good reason. It was settled that Linus and Lloyd would accompany Ephidel and his prisoners to Badon, mostly to keep Ephidel from getting lost.
So with that, they went back to Leila and the prisoners. When they got there, Ephidel discharged the barrier he put up and went to get them ready for travelling.
"My lord, might I ask why you put up that barrier?" Leila inquired.
"Two reasons. One, to prevent the prisoners from escaping, and two, to prevent Sonia from finding them."
"Why's that?"
"Because she'd waltz in, take Ninian and Nils to Lor Nergal, and get all the glory. While I, who did most of the work, get squat."
Leila nodded and dropped back a bit. She had a feeling that Jaffar wasn't in a very talkative mood and even that was rare, so she just travelled in silence.
Traveling to Badon was uneventful, except for a few bandits, but they were no match for three of the four fangs and a morph.
This was their last night with Linus and Lloyd, because tomorrow, they would reach Badon.
The night seemed to drag on, especially for Jaffar, who was on sentry duty. He wished that this wouldn't have to end. It would mean that shortly after delivering the children to Nergal, he would have to return to Bern, and Sonia. He shuddered at the thought. There could be a million possible thing that she could do to him for siding with Ephidel. Luckily, he couldn't count that high. Jaffar was just about to drift of to sleep when he heard a sound. He looked over. There was a faint light in the distance, in the direction of Badon.
"That can not be good," he muttered and got up.
"Ephidel, wake up," He said, shaking Ephidel's shoulders.
"Huh, wha?" said Ephidel, still half asleep.
"I think Badon's under attack"
"Is that all? No big deal," Ephidel was obviously annoyed.
"I think they're pirates."
"So?"
"They could've easily ransacked our ship. Our only way of getting back to Valor."
"You're right this is a problem," he was awake now.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Shut up, I'm thinking"
"Mother Earth and Father Sky," prayed Jaffar. Most of Ephidel's off –the –top-of-the-head plans usually turned into disaster.
"Okay, I'm going to go ahead. You stay here and wake everyone else up. I'll tell you what's going on when I get back."
"Fine."
Ephidel teleported to the action, He was right outside Badon, and it was burning. Jaffar was right. There were pirates, pilaging, plundering, basically doing what pirates do best. The ship that had been waiting for them was already gone. Ephidel went back.
"So?" asked Lloyd, when he got back, "what's happening?"
"Badon's burning and our ship's gone. The pirates have practically taken over the whole town. And it looks like they're going to stay awhile."
"That's not good, is it?" asked Elbert.
"No, it's not. And I'm fresh out of ideas," said Ephidel as he sat down.
"Here's a thought," said Linus, "If the pirates are planning to stay awhile, then they are most likely to start exploring the area. Therefore, we should find someplace safer."
"Good plan," said Ephidel, looking up. Soon it looked as though they were never there.
