Dark Sorcerer and the Blade of Light
Chapter 17
To Save the Gods/ The Sword's New Power!
With the Dark Sorcerer poised to free the Golem from his prison, he did an almost unthinkable move. With amplified power from the Great Evil, the dark wizard managed to use his magic to imprison the Divine Dragons in their original habitations!
Now the Hero of the Runes, Raguna, must free them all before he faces of against the fiend. But will he able to complete the task before the Dark Sorcerer frees the Legendary Golem?

"Almost there!" Raguna said as they flew rapidly on Grimoire, the wind nearly knocking Mist off,
"There it is!" Mist said as she caught sight of Mount Gigant, "Kardia!"
"Well then... Let's go!" Raguna said and pressed Grimoire to do a hard dive.
00000000
"Let's go.." Raguna said as the two landed in front of the cave, "I defeated this before... I can breeze through this." he chuckled and the two entered,
"Woah..." Mist mumbled, seeing the whole place was devoid of inhabitants,
"It's quite empty." Raguna commented, "Yep... Too Empty..."
"No time to waste, Raguna!" Mist pressed him, "We have to check if Terrable is in here!"
"Alright!" Raguna said and the two ran down.
00000000
"Hoo! HA!" The Dark Sorcerer chanted and did an odd dance before the dark portal, "Hooo Haa!"
00000000
"Just a little more..." Raguna muttered,
"RAHH!" the roars of Terrable were heard, and the clanging of chains resonated through the cave,
"Terrable!" Mist gasped at the sight of the Earth God being chained down to the ground.
Multiple spikes pierced his wings, preventing him from flying away, two more pierced his feet.
"These things are draining my power!" Terrable groaned, "A horrible curse!"
"Hold on, Terrable!" Raguna said, "HYAH!" he struck some spikes, making them break into dark particles.
"You'll be alright, Terrable." Mist comforted the ailing dragon, "Here, eat a turnip.."
"Where did you get that turnip from, mortal?" Terrable asked in surprise, "Well... It doesn't hurt to eat it.." he grumbled, then ate the vegetable.
"There, better?" Mist asked, then turned to Raguna, who broke the last spikes,
"No..." Terrable groaned, "This anathema has drained me of my energy..." he sighed, "I believe I may not be of much help now..."
"Ah..." Raguna groaned, "Terrable, you can't give up, ol' man!"
"Ol' Man!?" Terrable roared, "I know I am the oldest of the Divine Dragons! Don't insult your gods!" he steamed,
"Relax!" Raguna chuckled weakly, "Hehehe... It was a jest!"
"Terrable, is there something we can do?" Mist asked, "Anything?"
"Well... There is one thing I can do." Terrable muttered, "But I don't think it can be achieved..."
"What is it?" Raguna asked,
"Long ago, I had a Dragon Priestess who served me." Terrable recollected the past, "A beautiful dame... That was, until I had quite an empty stomach..." he chuckled,
"You ate her!?" Mist gasped in shock,
"Well.. She did smell like pot roast..." Terrable laughed weakly, "I couldn't help myself! Well! In other news... She prayed to keep my power in balance... It did work, I'm not gonna lie."
"Where do we find an Earth Dragon Priestess?" Raguna asked,
"Well, you don't need one." Terrable said, "If you have a lyre... It works the same way.."
"Now how in the world am I supposed to have a lyr-"
"I have one!" Mist said and randomly pulled out the instrument,
"Huh!?" Raguna turned, "Where'd you get a lyre!?" he yelled,
"Um... I practiced once..." Mist mumbled, "Here..." she said and started to play it.
"Ooh..." Terrable muttered, "I like that..." he bobbed his head with the rhythm, "Snazzy..."
"I pray for the Earth God's strength to return." Mist recited, "Pray to keep him well and strong... I pray that he will help the runes... Listen to my lyre's song..."
"Ah..." Terrable said as he felt a power surge through him, "Excellent!" he said,
"Great!" Raguna grinned, "Now will you come and fight?"
"No." Terrable said,
"What!?" Raguna anime dropped,
"I'm still not strong enough physically." Terrable answered, "But spiritually... Look..." he said, "Give me the Sword."
"Um.. Ok?" Raguna mumbled, and placed the Sword of Light on the ground,
"Hm..." Terrable walked over to it, then stepped on the blade, "HA!" he yelled, and a power surge flowed from him to the sword.
"Woah.." Mist said in awe,
"You now have my blessing.." Terrable said, "That Sword has the power to manipulate the runes.. Allowing you to never tire when you swing it, and have the strength to lift the heaviest of stones... It also has Earth magic."
"Ha ha!" Raguna said as he picked it up, "Great!"
"Thank you." Mist told the Divine Dragon of Earth,
"No problem." Terrable told them, "Good luck on your journey! And help my fellow Dragons out!"
"Will do!" Raguna said, and raised his sword in the air.
The Blade of Light has been blessed by the Earth God, further increasing its power!

"This is almost too easy!" The Dark Sorcerer laughed as he stood unopposed releasing the Legendary Golem, "Where's their Hero now!?"
00000000
"This is almost too easy!" Raguna laughed as he removed the spikes holding down Fiersome unopposed, "Where's the Dark Sorcerer now!?"
"Ah... Thanks, mortal..." Fiersome sighed in relief, "But I'm afraid the spikes have drained most of my incredible power."
"We know." Mist smiled, "And you need a Dragon Priestess, right?"
"Huh!?" Feirsome said, "How did you know!? Did Terrable tell you that!?"
"Yep." Raguna said, "So, what's it gonna be?"
"Well..." Fiersome mumbled, "It's been a long time since I've had a Dragon Priestess, really... The other Dragons banned me from having one after the fifth."
"Huh?" Mist gasped, "What happened to them?"
"Let's just say I got a little angry..." Fiersome muttered, "And they ended up at the wrong side of my flame breath..."
"Really?" Mist growled,
"I couldn't help it." Fiersome shrugged his wings, "But anywho... What they used to do was pray for my strength with battle cries and dance."
"Ugh..." Raguna groaned, "Very well... AAYAYAYAHHAHA!" he yelled like Tarzan, "AAAYAAHAHAHA!"
"Ah... How melodious..." Fierome grinned,
"Melodious?" Mist groaned as she covered her ears,
"AAAYAAAHAHAHA!" Raguna screamed, "I pray for the Fire God to regain his strength! I pray that he finds the power to rave and rant! Listen and hear to my dance and chant! OOOOLOOOOLOOOOLOOOO!" he danced around like a tribal warrior,
"Oh yeah..." Fiersome moaned, "I'm really feeling it!" he said, "Hero! Give me your sword!"
"Alright." Raguna said and stopped his silly antics, then laid the sword on the ground,
"Hrmph." Fiersome grunted and stepped on it, "HAAH!" he sent out power.
"Yes!" Mist cheered as the event took place, "Yay!"
"There we go..." Fiersome chuckled, "I blessed your weapon... Your sword will gain strength if your anger rises and you have fire magic imbedded into it. You can also tolerate extreme heat such as Super Fire and Lava better."
"Thanks!" Raguna said as he looked at his sword, which had a brown and red sheen to it if it reflected light.
"This is great!" Mist laughed, "Raguna! We can defeat the Golem now!"
"But we still have to save the two others." Raguna mumbled, then raised his sword up in the air...
The Fire God has blessed your weapon with his strength! You must be really feeling it!
00000000
"The Golem is almost free..." The Dark Sorcerer said merrily as the portal grew clearer, and the bellows of the Great Evil grew nearer, "Then I will fulfill my ultimate plan..."
00000000
"Hyah!" Raguna let Aquaticus free of all his spikes with one great swing,
"Woah! That's rad!" Aquaticus said, "Where'd you get that much power in there!?"
"The other Divine Dragons blessed it." Mist answered,
"Heh.. Really?" Aquaticus asked, "Well, I guess you want me to do the same thing, eh? Well, I had a-"
"Dragon Priestess." Raguna interrupted, "She died a terrible way because of something you couldn't control and she used to do a thing where she prayed for your strength to be plentiful."
"Wow! Someone really studied!" Aquaticus chuckled, "Anyways... I'll tell you." he cleared his throat, "I had Dragon Priestesses who apparently couldn't breathe underwater, which is like, totally bogus." he groaned, "If I would have known not to take them to the sea floor those six times-"
"Wait, six times!?" Mist yelled,
"Yeah, bummer right?" Aquaticus laughed, "But as I was saying.. Terrable and Ventuswill flipped and that was bogus, ya know? Anyways, I would be angry too, those were some fine beach bunnies."
"Are you going to tell us what to do or not?" Raguna yelled,
"Woah, little dude!" Aquaticus said, "Chill! I was getting to that! Alright.." he cleared his throat, "Those girls used to dance around like a luau... It was totally rad!"
"Ah..." Mist turned red, "No..."
"Come on Mist!" Raguna laughed, "I did the tribal dance crap!"
"Fine..." Mist groaned, then started to move her body,
"Ooh..." Aquaticus said in surprise, "Nice one, beach bunny!"
"Oh..." Mist mumbled, purely ashamed of her actions, "I pray that the Water God be strong and brave! That he have power over every ocean wave! I dance like this, and sway like that... Water God, your dominion is from Etricia to Ararat!"
"Nice one!" Aquaticus cheered, "Say, would you like to be my Dragon Priestess?"
"No!" Mist declined, "I don't wanna drown!"
"Ah.. Bogus!" Aquaticus groaned, "But what's not bogus is this radical new power I got!" he laughed, "Give me your blade, little dude!" he told Raguna.
"I am not Little Dude..." Raguna growled and placed the blade on the ground,
"Whatever you say, jake." Aquaticus laughed, "HA!" he surged power.
"This is the third blessing!" Mist clapped her hands,
"Look here, little dude!" Aquaticus told Raguna, "Your sword has my totally radical blessing! You now have the power to breathe underwater, control underwater critters, and do that cool Moses splitting the ocean thing and use water magic with this thing! It's really awesome, eh?"
"Yep!" Raguna said and held up his weapon, "But who's Moses?"
"I don't know, just made it up." Aquaticus laughed, "Don't question me!"
"Whatever." Raguna mumbled, then raised his sword.
How gnarly! The radical Water God has given you his swood blessing, making your sword extra gnarl- I got nothing...
