Chapter Eight: Final Conflict Between...Ozum

As Jedah walked from the once Castle Doma, he had to pause, as his thoughts turned. He did not want to leave Marionette. He still might have loved her. Who knows. There was still so much he could hold for his dear wife or x wife, which ever. Anywho. He turned and glanced once more upon the dark castle. He could see Marionette staring down at him from a tall window, and then." Jedah" She whispered soundlessly. Abruptly Ozum yanked her from the window." Stop! You're hurting me!" She cried.

"Marionette." Jedah mouthed and nearly forgot all of what had occured. And dashed back into the castle.

" let me go!" Mariontted screamed, as Ozum drug her forcefully up a large stair case to the tallest tower. He only threw her in and locked it. Only a bed and a barred window above the clouds, nothing more for the poor puppet.First her beloved Jedah turns cold on her, Ozum locks her in the tower...Her eyes widen and now the baby is coming. Her water at long last broke.

" Ozum!" Jedah's voice echos through the throneroom, where Ozum sits proudly upon the Doma Seat.

"Ah, Jedah I thought you'd be long gone by now." He mused.

Jedah paused in his movements." Forgot a few things, Ozum." He said with a calm voice." My wife, Ozum, is one."

"Your wife? Why Jedah I thought she was not your concern."

Jedah shrugged." Loss of temper I suppose...Oh yes...my throne. I want that back." His voice rose slightly.

Ozum glared and stood, approaching Jedah, and standing face to face with the rightful king." If you can kill me, Jedah, the throne, your whore and your worthy child are your's." he stated." You know, I remember once you hated the pupper race."

"That was then, feelings change once love is experienced. now where is Marionette?" He demanded to know. Abruptly there was an echoing cry of pain.Both males glanced up. Jedah glared and slashed Ozum hard in the face and took off towards the tower stairs.

" Not yet!" Ozum caught up and tossed Jedah to the wall, in turn Jedah kicked his back and repeatedly slashed his chest and stomach. Ozum drew his sword and shoved Jedah back.Jedah drew his scythe and caught the blade of Ozum's sword in mid air. And he preceeded towards the stair. Ozum shoved him into the next nearest wall. And punched the demon's stomach. Jedah head butt him and ran further up the stairs.Ozum leapt up to Jedah and tackled him as they where going up the stone steps. Jedah kicked his face several times and again continued.

He reached the door and slammed his palm into the hard wood," Marionette!" He called into the door.

Marionette, her back against the bed, her legs open. Her head sweating. Glanced over at the door," Jedah!" She cried." Is that you! Please let me out! Ahhhh!" She screamed." The baby is coming!"

" Not yet! My mission is not complete. Hold him back!" He screamed, but without trouble kicked the door down and ran over to her. However Felt a sharp point. And a dagger went through his neck. He gurgled up blood and fell to the floor. " Jedah!" Marionette cried and looked up as Ozum yanked out the dagger.

"Now my little puppet! It is time to die." He hissed.

" Not yet!" Marionette said, a string, sharp as thin silver wire came from her elebow joint and caught Ozum in the throat. The demon fell near Jedah and his eyes widened with fear. As Jedah's body began it's transformation, the raptor like form. And his pure white eyes snapped open and Jedah arose to his feet. While Ozum yanked out the string and stood. Jedah growled lowly and leapt at Ozum. And not surprisingly he changed too. Into a were wolf like creature with bat wings. And goat legs.

" Lucifer..." Marionette mouthed.

Jedah's dark form smriked, " I knew you'd return in another form for me."

" yes. I kept my vow to you." Lucifer started." When you took what was mine. And killed me, my soul swore it would make you pay. "

Jedah and Lucifer leapt at eachother, scratching to biting. Jedah used his tail and hoisted Lucifer up and hurled him through the door. Where he rolled down the stairs Jedah followed. Marionette's eyes widened by this. She had never seen this side of him before. Frankly it kind of creeped her out.

Anywho!

In the thorne room once more Jedah tackled Lucifer to the floor, where Lucifer rolled over and leapt to his feet and kicked Jedah back. Jedah slashed Lucifer in the chest then the face. Lucifer caught his claw in mid air and tossed Jedah back. where the demon flew into a piller which crumbled to bits. Before Jedah could get to his feet, Lucifer rammed him in the stomach and sent him flying through the air then into the doors, where Jedah crashed right through and hit the Doma gates. He growled inwardly and leapt into the air his wings outstretched, Lucifer followed both held in mid air growling,waiting for one to attack. And then something happened, Jedah began to glow his aura became a black. What is going on? Lucifer wondered.
