"Finally it is almost done! Soon you shall no longer be hunted my daughter," Grenia said setting the scroll down. She walked over to Tessa. "You are the one that has been chosen. You shall free our land from this evil! Soon, very soon." Tessa giggled with joy as she played with the little stone that hung around her neck always. Grenia went over to her shelves to get something when a sudden gust of wind slammed the door open. "No! Not now, how!" "Your clairvoyance can be fooled so easily. Now give me the Socerers' Gem," the tall armored man said. "I.. I.. I do not have it." "Do you think that you can fool me that easily? Where have you hidden it?" "Even if I had it I would never give it to you Ratchen!" Ratchen looked around the room. "The child!" he yelled and hasted over to Tessa. "NO!" Grenia screamed and threw a flask at him. The flask shattered at his feet and smoke rose around his feet. Ratchen started to cough. Grenia quickly grabbed Tessa and ran outside. "Where are you!" Ratchen yelled and ran outside. "You can not escape me that easily!" "I can't, but Tessa can," Grenia said. She ran to the cliff and threw the little baby over it. "You fool!" "Fool? I think not!" At that moment a great gust of wind came and Tessa was carried off. "No! I must have that jewel!" "FOOL, you can not chase her, or you shall perish! LIGHTNING... STRIKE!" Grenia screamed. A large bolt struck Ratchen, Grenia began to laugh. "You foolish soceress, you can not defeat me! I to am a head socerer from the table itself!" "You live!" "Yes, but you shall not!" Ratchen said. He raised his hand and red magic came from it. It began to devour Grenia alive. "You may have gotten me, but you shall never touch Tessa! I swear upon the winds of the west!" "Then you have wasted your swear!" "No I haven't, look!" Grenia said pointing towards the west. Ratchen looked and saw a small dragon following Tessa. "A dragon? That is you death gift for the child?" "No, not a dragon, a fire lizard. A guardian," Grenia said as her body dissapeared all together. "A guardian? No matter, it may take me longer, but I will get the Socerers' Gem... I will destroy anything that stands in my way. That is my swear," Ratchen said facing the west. |
