Dante`s POV

I ran down the path as fast as I could. At the end was Zhalia pinned down by Incubain.

"Wilder." I cursed under my breath. I pulled out my amulet and held it up in the air. "Metagolum!"

"Sabriel!" Sophie cried, calling her titan as well.

"We`ll need all the help we can get. Lok. Luna. We need Drahand to hand combat Titans."

"Come on Iron Squire." Lok yelled.

"Freelancer!" Luna screamed.

"Focus your attacks on Incubain." I ordered. The four titans attacked Gargool. He leaped of Zhalia and I ran over to her. I cradeled her in my arms. "Zhalia, are you okay?"

"Dante.." Was all she could muster up before she passed out. I looked over at where everyone was fighting and the only titan left against Gargool was Metagolum. Even then. He was defeated. I felt my magic drain as Metagolum returned to the amulet. Gargool was called back and DeFoe stepped out of the shadows.

"Dante Vale. How nice to see you." He sneered.

"Wilder. After Rokhan I see." I said.

"Why shouldn`t I?"

"Raypulse!" I shot the spell at him and knocked him off his feet. I looked down at Zhalia in my arms and shot another at him.

"Augerfrost!" Luna cried, shooting DeFoe with the spell. Lok and Sophie were sending spells at him too.

"Honorguard!" Wilder said, blocking most of them. But when he let his guard down, he was hit by two Boltflares. He flew against the wall of the cave and crumbled to the ground.

"He`s down for now." Sophie said "But not for long."

"Let`s move." I picked Zhalia up and carried her further into the cave, the others close behind. Zhalia was really pale. She was hurt. I could feel it.

"Is she okay?" Luna asked.

"She will be." I looked down at her face and stroked her cheek "I promise." My eyes got misty with tears , but I wiped them away and kissed her cheek.

"Dante!" Sophie called "I found something!"

"What is it?" Lok asked.

"'The key to Rokhan lies in the heart of the one who`s loved and lost. Just as Niobe did with her fourteen children.'"

"What does that mean?"

"Niobe`s fourteen children were killed by Apollo and Artemis. Loved and lost. Someone who has someone who died in there life." Luna explained.

"My parents died in a fire. I watched the house burn to the ground." Sophie said.

"Okay. Now how do we get in?"

"Look at this. There`s a hollow shaped like a hand. Sophie. Put your hand here." She put her hand in the hollow and the wall split open. The three were blown back by a gust of wind. I held Zhalia close. Making sure she stayed safe. I walked into the next room where a giant statue of Niobe stood in the center. Zhalia groaned in my arms and her eyes slowly opened.

"Dante?" She asked. I set her down by the wall and she huffed in pain.

"Are you okay?" I asked worried. I nelt down beside her and put a hand on her arm.

"I`m fine." She tried to stand, but whipered and sat back down.

"No your not. You were hurt pretty bad." She whipered again and leaned into me. "Search the room." Luna, Lok, and Sophie spread out around the room and started riffling through things.

"Dante. I`ll be fine. Go help the others." I kissed her head, and helped her back against the wall. I went over to one of the bookshelves and rifled through the books.

"All of this is information on Niobe." Sophie said "What should we be looking for?"

"Information on Rokhan." I said.

"Maybe we don`t need information on the titan." Lok said. "Maybe there`s a passage through here." He started looking around the room.

"Lok. There`s no passage." Sophie said.

"No. Let him look." I said.

"I found something." He said, kneeling on the floor. "But there`s a puzzle we need to solve." He fiddled around with it for a while but got nowhere. He pulled out one of his amulets "Springer!" The titan played with the puzzle for a moment and the door opened.

"Good job Lok." I picked Zhalia up again, despite her protests, and carried her to the door. I handed her to Lok and climbed down. I took her back and she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Uncle Dante." Luna said "We have trouble."

"What is it?"

"More suits!"
