Dark Sorcerer and the Blade of Light
Chapter 7
New Allies, New Crisis
"RAH! RAH! RAHHH!" the Dark Grimoire roared as he flew over Kardia,
Destrucive Mountain Dragon: Dark Grimoire
"This is going to be one bad mother-" Brodik growled, "What do we do now?!"
"RAH!" Dark Grimoire launched a searing hot fireball towards the town,
"Ha!" Iris countered it with an ice blast, "We need to get him away from here!"
"And down here, too!" Cinnamon yelled, "We can't attack him all the way up there."
"Well, then... Let's go!" Raguna said and dashed off on Lupux, holding a bright red cloth high above him.
"HRUH?" Dark Grimoire looked at the cloth, and followed Raguna out of the main town,
"Let's go!" Brodik said and quickly mounted his horse,
"Wait for us!" Mei said and got on with Iris,
"Think you'll get the action without us, eh?" Camus hopped aboard Brodik's steed.

"Hot potato, Hot potato!" Raguna laughed as dark Grimoire tried to incinerate the fast moving Lupux and mount, but missed every shot.
"Wah!" Mist screamed as one flame burst struck a little too close to home.
"Rar!" Lupux jolted at the impact and lost some speed,
"Right here!" Raguna said as he took a hard right and passed his ruined home,
"BRAAA!" Grimoire was fed up and landed right on the rubble of Raguna's home,
KRAAKKK! What was left of the house was crushed by the Dark Grimoire's body,
"Oh come on!" Raguna yelled, "I only just finished the bathroom remodeling!"
"AAAAAA!" Grimoire screeched and sent a huge gust of wind toward them,
"Woah!" Mist said as Lupux was being lifted off the ground,
"RARA!" Lupux barked in shock,
"Yoikes!" Raguna exclaimed as they were launched a considerable distance.
"Hey! You big newt!" a voice called out to the drake, making him turn,
"HYAH!" Mei appeared and did a vertical slice, impacting the creature's thigh.
"RAH!" Dark Grimoire growled in pain, though it was nothing more that a surface cut and did not do any real damage, "BRAAAH!" the drake breathed a sinister wave of fire.
"Woah woah!" Brodik stopped his horse just in time, then the two dismounted,
"I'll take the front, you take the rear!" Iris said as she grabbed her ice magic book, "Cinnamon, you get his sides."
"Alright!" Cinnamon grabbed her Hell Staff, and ran to the scene,
"HRAHH!" Dark Grimoire roared as he saw the people nearing him, tensing up like a cornered cat.
0000000000
"Ahhh..." Raguna groaned as he groggily stood up,
"Is that you, Raguna?" a voice asked him, "And Mist?"
"Who?" Mist turned to the voice, seeing a graceful white figure,
"Sharron." Raguna said as he saw her, "Wow... Long time, eh?"
"Yes." Sharron nodded, then held a spell book in her hands, "You're in trouble, I foresaw this... Let me help."
"How did you-"
"I can see into the future." Sharron answered, "I am an Oracle after all... I had a vision of a knight clad in light fighting a hideous serpent... A Dark Grimoire?"
"Absolutely..." Raguna said, then turned when he heard the drake roar in the distance,
"We have to keep him away from here." Sharron warned and looked back to where they where,
"Kassimir Ruins." Mist mumbled as she saw the complex,
"I still believe the secrets of my people lie in here." Sharron muttered, "So please, let's not let that fiend destroy it."
"Alright." Raguna said, "Lupux!" he called his mount, which obediently came, "Let's go!"

"Wah!" Camus was thrown to the ground by the Dark Grimoire's massive tail,
"Get over here!" Brodik yelled and did a terrific slice with his longsword,
"GRAH!" Dark Grimoire growled, the sword had actually penetrated his scaly skin, "BLAH!" he breathed fire in retaliation,
"Not on my watch!" Iris said and countered in with an ice laser, which subsequently froze part of the dragon's jaw.
"ARRR!" Grimoire bellowed and used his great crunch to free his frozen mouth, he was angry!
"RAHHHHH!" he roared fiercely and did a 360 degree spin, hitting all of them with his tail.
"Wah!" Cinnamon was sent back,
"Argh!" Brodik was knocked away,
"Hyah!" Iris screamed, being closer and hit with the most dense part of his tail,
"HRAH!" Camus appeared, and with his greatsword, cut a piece of the monster's appendage off,
"RAHHHHHH!" Grimoire screeched in pain, then released and huge blast of fire at the man,
"OH CRAP!" Camus yelled as he saw the fire column heading for him, then braced for the worse,
SCHLING!
Camus looked up to see the fire was being repelled,
"I'm here!" Sharron said, having put a magical barrier, "You should be thankful."
"Raguna!" Mist told the Earthmate, "That's still Grimoire!"
"What?" Mei asked,
"What do you mean?" Raguna muttered, then concentrated, "Woah..." he sensed Grimoire's runic energy,
"Looks like Grimoire's been taken over!" Iris, who had the same ability, commented, "He's been possessed."
"A little help here!?" Sharron cried out, fire still being spewed at her barrier,
"Oh, yeah!" Cinnamon said, then blasted the side of the dragon's head with a fire blast,
"RAH!" Dark Grimoire was knocked upside the head, then turned to the aggressor,
"We have to find a way to removed the curse from him!" Mei said, "We'll distract him while you think of something!"
"Yeah!" Brodik chimed in, "Hey! Lizard brain!"
"Come on!" Camus taunted, trying to get the dragon's attention, however, he was fixated on Raguna and his glowing right hand,
"What in the world?" Sharron looked at the Earthmate,
"Woah..." Raguna said as his palm shone brightly, "Huh?" he turned to Mist,
"Raguna..." Mist mumbled, her left palm also shining, "What does this..."
"I know!" Raguna yelled, and quickly grabbed her hand.
0000000000
SHWEEOM! The two received another vision,
"What in the world?" Raguna looked off into the distance, were a glorious knight battled against a giant mintauros,
"Darkness!" the knight yelled, "You are expelled!" he added and held up his right hand, which sent a blast of light at the monster.
"RAH!" the Dark King Minotauros bellowed and covered his eyes, but was having the darkness particles ripped out of him. The freed monster then fell to his knees.
0000000000
"Wha!" Mist said as they returned to the real world,
"Wah!" Mei was knocked down,
"Raguna!" Iris called out, "Help us!"
"AHH!" Sharron was sent back by a fire blast,
"Let's do this!" Raguna said and held up his right hand, "Darkness! You are Expelled!" he yelled, and the runic symbols shone and launched a terrific light beam at the dragon,
"RAH!" Grimoire screeched in pain, having the darkness particles removed from his being,
"What in the gods?" Mei muttered,
"RAHH!" Grimoire gave one final roar before he collapsed on his knees, he was now back to normal...
0000000000
"It's still there." Camus growled as he saw the floating mass of dark energy hovering over Grimoire's unconscious body,
"Wah!" Cinnamon gasped as the energy expanded, revealing an opening,
"So..." the cloaked figure appeared on the other side, "You're the.." he paused, noticing Raguna's palm, "NO!" he yelled, and quickly shut the portal.
0000000000
0000000000
"He's back!" the cloaked figure roared in rage, "The Hero has been Reborn!"
"Master!" the submissive figure cried, "What do we do!?"
"We kill him!" the cloaked figure yelled, "We can't let him get the Sword of Oracles!"
"But Master!" the submissive figure said, "The Sword of Oracles is gone! It disappeared in the last encounter.."
"Oh... Yeah..." the cloaked figure calmed, "But we still need to kill him... We can't let the Hero rise up! Sword of Oracles or not!" he looked at his map, "He was there when we last saw him..." he pointed, "But we need to head here..." he pointed to a part North-East of the Sechs Empire, "That's were I'm guessing the Oracle Blade should be..."
"The last of your forces has arrived..." the submissive figure reported, and the two turned back to the massive army that laid behind them,
"Excellent..." the cloaked figure chuckled...
