Final Confrontation

Part VI

"The Final Confrontation"

Siegfried couldn't believe that the old warrior that everyone had been talking about was standing in front of him. It was Olcadan, "The Great Owl Warrior." Siegfried had heard about his remarkable skills in every weapon known to man. This was a complete shock to him. Why was Olcadan in this village? And how does he know what was going on?

"I'm telling you boy, he is a part of you." Olcadan said. "He will always be a part of you until you deal with him for good. But that can only happen in the spirit world. You must fight him there." Siegfried looked at him with confusion and asked, "What do you mean fight him in the spirit world?" Olcadan looked disappointed to this. "You must destroy the body in which he possess now and get him to return to your body. Once you have done that then, you must enter into your own spirit and defeat him there. That is the only way you can live a peaceful life and pass away peacefully in the end."

Siegfried thought about this for awhile. He then asked him how they were going to do this. Olcadan then looked over to him and said, "When his spirit returns to your body, I will knock you out so that you will enter into the dream world. You will then meet him there. But do be warned, when you are there, it is his world. He will have every power that you could ever imagine." Siegfried had agreed to do this. He then grabbed his sword and both him and Olcadan went to go look for Nightmare.

3 days later.

They had been searching for quite some time now. They sat down to rest for awhile because they have searched for 3 straight days with no sleep. They relaxed to eat some food that they had packed. When they finished eating, they began to start on their search once again. But before they were prepared, Nightmare jumped out. He was still in control of Zasalemel's body. When Siegfried looked him in the eye, he could feel a sharp sting in his head. He then heard Zasalemel's voice. "Help me! Destroy me! It's the only way."

The sting went away and Siegfried told Olcadan that he was ready. Olcadan had a plan, he mentioned it to Siegfried, "You will fight him head on. I will be a fighting distraction. When I get the chance, I will steal his scythe, then you can finish him off." Siegfried agreed that it was a good idea. They had charged him head on and began their brutal battle.

Nightmare struck at them with everything he had. But with the wisdom of Olcadan and the strength and skill of Siegfried, they had achieved their goal. Olcadan grabbed the scythe and managed to get it out of his grasp. He then struck him in the back and held him there. "Siegfried, NOW!" Olcadan yelled. Siegfried then took a powerful upward slash and then… well you can use your imagination.

When it was over, what was left of Zasalemel's body started to spark with energy. It then shot into Siegfried and he could here Nightmare's voice. "No! This can't be. I'm trapped in this body again." When Siegfried was finally able to get him coped down, Olcadan mentioned returning to the village.

Several days had passed before they finally returned to the village. They had spread the word that Siegfried stopped Nightmare and that they were ready for the ritual. They all gathered into the town hall and prepared for the end. Olcadan was ready to perform the ritual. "Alright. When you reach the spirit world, don't forget that he will have more power than before." Olcadan said with assurance. Siegfried told him that he was ready. Olcadan then said a chant, then, he began speaking in a sarcastic voice, "One, Two, Three, and… G'night!" Olcadan karate chopped him in the head and knocked him out.

A villager walked up to Olcadan and asked him what was going on. Olcadan replied, "He is now entering into the spirit world and he will fight the remaining Nightmare. We have now forced a
