Chapter 7

The two charged forward with their horses, and their javelins clashed. They charged again, and Gazelle was almost pushed right off his horse, but he managed to balance himself back on his horse.

"They don't call me Gaia the Fierce Knight for nothing!" Gaia yelled, as he struck Gazelle once more.

The javelin never hit Gazelle this time, because Gazelle's horse suddenly jumped above the javelin, and landed right behind Gaia. Gazelle's javelin slammed into Gaia's right arm, nearly knocking Gaia down, before Gaia's javelin stabbed both of Gazelle's legs, making Gazelle fall hopelessly off his horse.

"Like I said before, they don't call me Gaia the Fierce Knight for nothing," said Gaia. "Now, if you want to stay alive, leave now. Go! Before I change my mind and kill both of you!"

"What?!" yelled Gazelle and Milus, in unison.

"That's not fair!" yelled Milus, angrily. "I take back what I said earlier!"

"The fate of the world depends on Blue-Eyes being restored to life!" yelled Gazelle. "Tri-Horned Dragon is obviously stronger than you! The only one who can destroy him is-"

"Blue-Eyes!" said Gaia. "No, I have things under control. Now GET OUT!"

"I'll take him on!" said Milus.

"No, Milus!" said Gazelle. "You saw what happened to me. I can barely walk." He tried to get up, but had to hold onto one of the walls in the throne room. "We'll just have to go and pray that things will get better."

"Actually," started Gaia. "If you really want the dragon back, then do it yourselves. I have some magic that can help you. It brings monsters back to life. Take it, and go! Now!"

Gazelle and Milus were given a blue beam of light. After that, they left the throne room, escorted by the two Celtic Guardians. Suddenly, one of the guardians attacked them.

"What are you doing?" asked Milus.

"Gaia told us to kill you once we escorted you this far," said one of them. "He gave the order before you jousted with him. He wants his magic back, too."

"That trickster! That lier!" screamed Gazelle, angrily. He once again transformed into a 'Were Man', for he had changed back into a man once he fell off his horse earlier. Though his legs were in bad shape, he managed to lunge at one of the Celtic Guardians. He stabbed his claws into the armour, and killed him.

"NOOOOOOOO!" cried the other one. "Argh!" The other guardian stabbed Gazelle in the heart with his sword.

Milus was in complete shock, but he put Gazelle on his back and, with much difficulty, ran from the Kingdom of Earth, out into the open fields of grass.

Author's Note: I've decided to kill off Gazelle, because I don't like his character anymore. So please ignore what he said in the Prologue.
