| The Guardian Epic Book 1: The Beginning |
Chapter 19: The BattleFor the next few days, the Five and Jason waited anxiously for Satasan to arrive with his armies. They were all excited and scared at the same exact time. Codie would pace back and forth in front of the fire at night, and Lurik kept on walking over the edge to check to see if anything was coming. The rest of the group would just sit in their tents or keep looking over there shoulder thinking they heard something. Alainia was getting tired of waiting for something to happen, so she and Snow Fire decided to go for a flight. Meanwhile, Satasan sat upon his thrown made out of human bones in the crushing depths of the ocean. His sleek, black hair flowed over his shoulders and down his back and no one, not even his own son, could look into his cold, black eyes. Satasan's teeth were like shark's and were extremely yellow from eating raw fish all the time. He was burly and strongly built in the shoulders. His son, who was standing next to him, looked exactly like his father, only younger and with red eyes. A blood red demon came walking in to the throne room and bowed so low that his long, crooked nose almost touched the floor. "Ye Majesty," he said to Satasan in a gurgly voice. "Ye summond thee?" "Yes, General Murder," Satasan said in a voice that was as slick as his hair. "It's time to attack the Five Guardians." Murder looked up in shock, showing beady, black eyes. "Are ye sure 'tis time for thy battle?" the demon said in a trembling voice. "Do not question my choice!" yelled Satasan, making Murder cower back against the wall. "Send the attack now!" Satasan's son, David, snickered as Murder starting to shake all over. Satasan then turned to David. "Go with General Murder and go into the battle with the demons." At this, David stopped laughing. "B-but, Father!" he cried. "I can't go and fight. I'll surely die." "If that's the case, then so be it," David's mouth dropped open, but he closed it quickly in fear of being slapped on the cheek. He didn't expect his father to care about him. "Now go. You're a disgrace to me."
Alainia was now up on the cloud that had the Guardian Castle on it. She didn't see any point in becoming queen. She didn't ask for any of this to happen. It just did. Maybe I should just go back to Jeffern, she thought. It doesn't seem like the Battle is ever going to happen, so it doesn't really matter. Alainia walked back up to her room with Snow Fire slowly walking behind her. "Alainia?" Snow Fire said after a while. "What are you doing?" Alainia didn't answer at once, and she started to climb the stairwell to her room. Snow Fire growled in frustration. "Al?" the dragon tried again. It took Alainia a few seconds to realize that Snow Fire was trying to talk to her. "What?" she snapped. Snow Fire looked shocked at how Alainia had said this. Alainia never yelled at Snow Fire even if she was mad at her. "What are you doing?" Snow Fire asked as calmly as she could. "I'm going home," Alainia said in a sort of dreary voice. Snow Fire stopped walking, but Alainia kept on going. "You mean, you're going back to Jeffern?" "That's my home, so yeah," said Alainia. "I am going back." Snow Fire stepped in front of her, forcing Alainia to stop. "But you can't!" cried Snow Fire. "There's a war upon us and you just plan on leaving the Guardians against Satasan's armies? We don't stand a chance without you and Miecyzslaw being together." "I don't belong here, Snow," said Alainia sadly. "I never asked to be a Guardian and I didn't want to be one. And now I'm supposed to be the Queen of the Guardians?! I don't think so!" She marched off angrily and stormed into her room. She sighed and looked down at her hands. "And I can't watch Jason die. I just can't." Alainia wen to her dresser and pulled out all her clothes and put it in her bag. Snow Fire walked into the room and flopped down on her stomach. Then, out of no where, they heard a deafening shriek come from below the clouds. Satasan's armies were attacking the Guardians...
After about ten minutes of trying to persuade Alainia into staying, Snow Fire finally took off with Alainia on her back. They were both nervous about the battle and they didn't know what to do exactly, but Alainia had a hunch that she would know what to do after they got there. Snow Fire dove down to the stationary cloud at a ninety degree angle. Alainia looked at what was going on on the cloud. Miecyzslaw was swinging her sword this way and that, cutting down all the demons that trried to kill her or get in her way. Lurik was right now using his sword in one hand and a fire whip in the other. He knocked over a blue demon and drove his sword into its chest. Blood was everywhere Alainia looked. She then remembered that she didn't see Jason anywhere. Just then, Snow Fire landed in the middle of the great battle and let out a roar that shook everyone and everything. Alainia unsheathed her sword and attacked a boy that wasn't much older than her and had black hair and red eyes. The boy sensed her coming and unsheathed his own sword. The swords clanged against each other. "Who are you?!" cried Alainia. The boy swung his sword around and made for her leg. Suddenly, the sword veared off course as if being pushed aside by an invisible shield. Alainia stared down at her leg in amazement. The boy had a look of horror on his face, but it was quickly replaced by rage. "I might ask you the same thing, your leige," his voice was icy and it sent chills up Alainia's spine. "I am Satasan's son, David. A.K.A. your worst night mare!' And he let out a roar of rage and attacked Alainia. Speaking a run-on sentence in the language Anglo-Saxon and a flash of blue light erupted around her, sending David sprawling across the floor. Alainia walked up to him and kicked his sword out of his hand. "Actually," she looked down at his bruised face. "I think it's the other way around. I'm Queen Alainia Montez and your worst nightmare." But David's face had an expression that Alainia had not expected. He was smiling. She heard a wizzing coming from behind her and realized that something was coming at her. Turning around, Alainia screamed. A swarm of flying demons came swooping in and she collapsed in a heap. Everything went black and the Battle echoed around her...
Jason heard a scream and quicklt turned around to see demons scratching at Alainia's face. Her screaming continued and blood went everywhere, though it wasn't hers. Even though Alainia was screaming bloody murder, the demons' screams were much louder and shriller than her's by far. Through Alainia's screams, Jason could identify a Anglo-Saxon incantation being cast. Just then, a flash of blue, red, green, and white light surrounded her and there was a loud bang. "Oh my," exclaimed Miecyzslaw, who had walked up next to Jason and was covered in blood and her clothes were stained with mud. "I can't believe it." "What?" asked Jason turning to her, but not before cutting down a mini demon that was coming towards them with an arm already cut off. "She's actually combining all her powers with Snow Fire's," Miecyzslaw breathed. "If she does that, she'll be able to actually tranform into a dragon herself." She paused and her next words were as thought she were actually choking on them. "There's only problem though." "And what is that," Jason shot an arrow at a demon that was gettin ready to attack Alainia. Miecyzslaw took a deep breath. "If Snow Fire is killed, which most likely will happen, then Alainia will die as well," Jason looked at her in horror. Now he knew why he was destined to die in the Battle. It wasn't just to protect Alaini, but Snow Fire as well, a dragon that represented all of the elements. Jason unsheathed his sword and ran towards David who was now getting up and getting ready to attack Alainia. David must have sensed that Jason was running towards him, for he slashed the sword in his direction. The blade barely missed Jason's head. And within a few seconds, David and Jason were in a life threatening battle over who would get to Alainia or Snow Fire first. The battle between the two of them lasted for quite a while and bursts of colorful light kept on leaking through Alainia, who was know standing up with her hands raised in front of her as though she were pushing against a wall, and was muttering in the ancient language of dragon's the whole time. Jason and David continued fighting, but then there was a sudden pain in Jason's chest. He looked down and saw that a sword was sticking out of his chest...
