Chapter 24

When I wake up in the Morning the sun is peeking through the Walls. Kit is already awake.

J: Did you sleep well ?

She nods and gives me a kiss.

Z: Breakfast anyone ?

We look at him.

Z: I can knock you up some eggs, no problem.

I nod that sounds good.

K: Well we’ll take any food you can spare but we have to get Moving.

The others also wake up around us.

Z: What ? Where ?

Confused, I lift one Eyebrow.

J: Beyond the Shattered Sea.

Z: You’re in no fit condition to be going anywhere. Neither is the peck. Stay recuperate.

Elora looks at Willow.

E: You ok ?

Z: Oh. Rough weather coming on. Best wait it out.

I lean to Kit and whisper.

J: Something is definitely up, he's acting weirder than Yesterday.

She nods slowly.

B: You know what ? Maybe he’s right. I mean I don’t know what’s one more day when you’re gonna be trudging across the shattered sea for, you know, Ever.

K: That’s fine. You can Stay.

J: We don’t need you.

Z: Well who likes theirs scrambled.

Graydon knocks him out with an oar.

J: What the hell ?!

W: You clouds just said poached.

G: We gotta get out of here Right now !

I look at him and then see one of the Gales coming out from Behind the Counter.

G: Oh, not again.

We rush on the sleigh and Graydon controls it to start. I look at Kit.

J: You stay inside clear ?

K: Urg …

J: Clear !

K: Ok !

I go out with Boorman and Jade. 

B: Don’t worry. Papa’s got a Harpoon. 

He shoots it and he misses by so far.

J: You idiot !

E: FASTER !

One of the gales starts throwing Throwing-stars at us. Jade holds a board in front of us.

Ja: Boorman the Lux ! Try it !

B: No !

J: Why not ?!

B: Because there’s a perfect moment for that. This isn’t it.

The door behind us Opens but before the Throwing star can reach Kit I put my Arm in front of her and get impaled by it. I scream and Kit pulls me inside.

J: Fucking shit ! I Told you to stay inside !

K: I’m sorry.

She holds my Arm up. Willow comes inside. I hear fighting outside and then an Explosion.

J: What the hell is going on out there ?!

And then there is quiet outside.

J: Are they gone ?

B: Yes.

Jade comes inside. Sees my Arm and looks at me shocked.

Ja: Oh shit.

J: Oh that ? Just a scratch.

Ja: Yeah, we have to get that out.

She sits down in front of me.

Ja: Did I ever tell you about that Time when I thought I caught a possum but it turned out to be a Porcupine ? And they had to pull, like, thirty quills from my Foot.

J: You said it was three.

Ja: No it was definitely more than three. The point is everytime they yanked one out they used the same fool- proof method to numb the pain.

She nods and Kit turns my Head to her. I thought she was going to kiss me. Instead she slaps me. At the same time Jade pulls out the Star.

J: OW ! Fuck you !

My hand Immediately holds the wound. I look at Kit.

J: Could’ve just kissed me.

Ja: Ew.

They bind my Arm and Kit gives me a kiss. I lay my Head on her lap, slightly light headed. 

J: Why is it always me that gets Impaled ? First a Dagger now a Throwing-Star. What next an Arrow ?!

G: We need to stop. This Mudmander thing is listless. It’s gotta rest or do whatever Mudmanders do to get their Oomph back. 

We stop at an Island. Thankfully there is Foot and water on the sleigh. We start a Fire and cook. I’m sitting next to Kit, her head on my Shoulder. Jade gets me and Kit something to drink. I drown the Water instantly.

J: Thanks.

Ja: How you feelin’ ?

J: Still a bit drowsy but I’ll live. 

G: All right, come on, Time to eat.

I look at Graydon who’s kneeling by the Shore with a Bucket. I stand up and sit next to him.

G: If you don’t mind, not biting the hand that feeds you and his friend.

He grabs a hand full of the white worms. And the thing slowly surfaces. 

G: That’s it. It’s okay.

It’s so fucking cute. It’s kind of purring.

G: Aww.

J: That’s so cute.

He looks at both of us. And eats the worms out of Graydon's hand.

G: I shall name you Kenneth, after the protagonist of the romantic farce I’m writing.

I look at him from the side.

J: You’re a writer ?

Shyly he nods.

J: Can I read it ?

G: You want to ?

J: Why not.

He nods and smiles.

W: That was impressive what you did today.

J: What ?

W: He let one of the Gales explode.

Impressed, I look at him.

W: What was that you were using ?

G: Oh, just my flute.

He gives it to Willow.

J: Wow How’d you do that ?

G: It was instinct. Just from listening to you and Elora.

W: Meaningful objects can be conduits, but the Magic’s in you.

I pat his shoulder.

J: Writer, Adventure and Sorcerer. What Girl wouldn’t fall for you ?

E: Hey.

We look at her.

E: Time to train.

I look back at Graydon who has a longing look on his face.

J: Oh.

He nods.

J: That’s a tad bit unfortunate.

G: You think ?

I get up.

J: Now let me read your story.

He gets his little notebook.

J: That’s what you’re scrabbling inside the whole time ?

G: Yep.

I nod and pat the spot next to me. He sits down and hands me the Book.

J: Kenneth huh ?

G: Not the best name I know.

J: No it’s… It’s great. Really manly

We both look at eachother and laugh.

J: I think this story here needs a restart.

Confused, he looks at me until I stick out my Hand.

Chapter 8

J: This is a Big ass waste of time.

K: Oh Really ?

I look at her.

J: No need to get Sassy now.

K: Sorry I’m just Upset.

I hug her.

J: It’s ok. I’m too. Let’s go.

Kit nods in my Shoulder. I give her a Kiss on the Head and let her go.

Ja: And where do you think you’re going ?

K: To the Shattered Sea.

Ja: Alone ?

J: You’re More than Welcome to Join us.

K: But we’re sure as hell not waiting around for Muffin Girl to learn to pick the Right finger.

Jade stops in front of us.

Ja: Okay. Her name is Elora Danan, and we owe her our Allegiance.

K: Says Willow.

Ja: She bears the Mark.

K: Maybe he put it there.

J: It wasn’t there before. And even if it was Raziel.

K: How do we know she didn’t mark a bunch of Babies ?

J: Maybe you have one too ?

K: Maybe You’re Elora Danan.

B: Maybe I’m Elora Danan.

I look at Boorman who puts his head in a Bucket and then looks at us.

B: Always thought there was something special inside me.

He walks to us.

Ja: You don’t believe it either.

B: It’s not that I don’t believe it, as much as I don’t Really care. 

I look at Kit who Nods. We both get on our Horses.

Ja: So, you have a better idea how to save the Prince ?

B: Oh, I’m bursting for the Better Ideas. But first I recommend that we Split, before miss chosen face catches Wind and decides to follow.

G: You shouldn’t do that.

Boorman Jumps surprised. I look at Graydon.

J: Lurk Much ?

G: She is Elora Danan. I’m sure of it.

K: How can you provide me one shred of Evidence that proves she’s capable of Literally anything.

J: Magical or not ?

W: Idiots ! Nincompoops ! Where is she ?

J: Yo, what’d you just call us ?

G: Elora ?

Ja: We thought she was with you.

I roll my Eyes and Look at Kit. She has the same look. Great, she ran away. Again.

W: This right here is why no one’s allowed above the Ground ever.

K: Relax she’s probably just frolicking in a meadow somewhere nearby.

W: Oh Yeah, forgot you’re Hilarious. You and your Friend are also being awfully cavalier with the fate of the World Princess.

I raise my eyebrows. Did he just call me her friend ? Thought we were obvious enough.

W: Now think about this for a Moment. Everyone you’ve ever Cared about will be made to serve the power behind the Crone and their only hope of escaping that nightmare is now wandering around in the Woods !

I sigh.

S: Stay in Pairs. Let’s spread out.

Jade starts walking too.

K: Where are you going ?

Ja: To look for her. But you two just do what you want. You always do. 

She walks off. I turn Moon around and look over my shoulder to Kit.

J: Let’s go.

She nods. And starts riding.

J: Maybe she’s also on the way.

K: I hope not.

After we’ve crossed the Woods and arrive by the Mountains. From there on we walk. Moon and Eclipse walk in front of us. I hold Kit’s hand.

K: You really think they’ll come after us ?

J: Elora won’t stay with the Nelwyn. She loves Aryk. 

K: What would you’ve done if I was taken ?

J: Oh I would have panicked a lot. Then I would’ve Panicked even More and then I wouldn’t stop till I found you. Especially considering your Condition.

Kit stops and Looks at me.

K: Did you just call our Baby a condition ?

I lay my hands on her Hips.

J: I didn’t mean it like that. But I worry all the time. What if we don’t get back on Time or you get Hurt ? I won’t be able to Forgive myself if you get hurt when I could’ve prevented it. And I won’t let anything Bad Happen to you.

Kit looks at me with Tears in her eyes.

K: Don’t you dare to get yourself killed to keep me safe.

J: If I have to I would.

K: Please don’t.

She gives me a Kiss. I smile at her.

J: Let’s keep walking.

After a few minutes we hear other Horses. We stop and look back.

J: Told you.

Kit nudges my side. Boor man gets off his Horse. And walks next to us.

B: Wow, you really Covered some distance.

K: I’m really not in the Mood for Banter.

B: Ah, that’s a shame. You know I want you two to know I’m with you. I’m not with them.

We both look at Boorman.

B: I was coming to find you. But, uh, it just so happens we’re all going the same road so I, I duped them into thinking that I’m with them. The truth is I’m with.

J: Yeah.

K: We get the Gist.

B: You know Despite what you may’ve heard I’m not actually a thief by Trade. I’m what you might call an Obtainer of Rare artifacts.

K: Grave Robber.

B: Hmm. Treasure Hunter. And I became this, because when I was about your Age someone told me the Legend of the Kymerian Cuirass.

J: The Kymerian Cuirass ?

B: Yeah. The Cuirass. A legendary Armor …

K: Yeah we know what that is.

B: Kinda changed my Life.

I look at him. 

K: And so, you wasted it ?

J: Searching for a Magical Breastplate that somebody told you in a Bedtime Story ?

K: Yeah that’s like the saddest thing I’ve ever heard.

B: No. Your Father and your Brother Jane, They didn’t think it was sad. No, they spend Five years searching the world for it. I know ‘cause I was with them. I was your dads, Squire.

K: So, what ? You’re telling me you know what happened to them ?

Kit’s grip on my Hand tightens.

B: Oh yeah. They found it.

We stop walking. Boorman doesn’t.

K: Huh ?

Moon and Eclipse walk to us. We get up and keep riding ahead of the others. On the way I see Rabbits. I grab Kits Bow and shoot two of them.

K: Oh, really ?

J: What ? We gotta eat something, don't we ?

I get off Moon, pick them up, pull the Arrows out and bind the Rabbits to Moon's saddle. Then I catch up with the others. When the sun starts to go down, we make Camp. After eating we sit down by the Fire. I sit behind Kit learning on Moons saddle. She’s laying in my Arms and we listen to Willow and Elora Talk.

Chapter 13

We’re Basically in the Middle of nowhere. Kit starts Walking next to me.

K: Jane ? Can we talk ?

J: Not in the mood.

I ignore her.

E: You Ok ?

W: Uh, just need to Rest. Then we resume your Training. You’ve still got a long way to go.

E: Maybe if I had the Wand …

Suddenly Graydon falls to the Ground.

E: Wait Graydon's Hurt !

Willow lifts his Collar and there is a Golden glowing spot.

J: Shit.

G: Bad Magic.

E: We have to get him to shelter ! Something !

B: Yeah ! And what do you Suggest, Huh ! We’re right in the Middle of…  I don’t even know where in the Middle of !

J: Moon.

Moon walks to Graydon and Kneels down. Me and Boorman help him up. I point my Finger at Graydon.

J: If you hurt him, I’ll kill you. Doesn’t matter that you’re Possessed.

He nods.

W: I know where we are.

He walks to a few Rocks and Looks beyond them. I walk there too. It's a Castle.

W: Nockmaar.

The Giant cloud is Swirling Right over it.

J: You’ve got to be Kidding me. Ok, let's go.

I walk forward. Moon right beside me. The others behind me. Willow falls to the Ground. Kit helps him up. 

W: We can’t go in. Don't you see ? This is what she wants.

E: We have to get Graydon inside or he'll Die.

B: And he’s not the only one.

J: There’s nothing around here for Leagues.

W: This fortress  was the Stronghold of the Most Brutal tyrant of her Age, Bavmorda.

B: Yeah. Or as Kit calls her Grandma.

I give him a Piercing side Glare. When we are inside we help Graydon off of Moon. Who then shakes the water out of his Mane. The others Chain Graydon to the Floor. Me and Jade start a fire and soon we’re all dry. Boorman closes the Chain around Graydon’s Wrists with a Hot Iron pickle.

B: Sorry about this Pal.

G: What do you think she used these for ?

B: Bavmorda knew how to Romp. Legendary Parties. Three four days in a Row. All kinds of weird shit.

G: How do I look ?

E: Like a Vermathrax at a vestal faire.

G: What ?

E: It was …

J: No it was a really good Joke.

B: Next time leave the levity to me.

Graydon coughs and vomits on the Floor.

J: Ah, Lovely.

G: What happened to Ballantine and Marrick is gonna happen to me.

Boorman gets up.

G: And you guys are gonna have to stop me before I …

Thunderclaps and I flinch. Elora gets up.

E: What … What was Ballentine gonna do to me ?

W: What Bavmorda started when you were a Baby.

G: The Ritual of the Thirteenth Night. Banishing your Soul to a Realm of perpetual suffering. Only the Combined strength of Willow and Raziel, the two most Powerful sorcerers of all time, was able to stop it. In the end using the Fibonacci Hex, if I’m not wrong ?

Willow hums.

J: Willow obliterated Bavmorda, rescued Elora Danan, You and Saved the World.

Everyone looks at me.

J: What  ? He’s not the only one that Reads.

B: Wow. And then What’d you do ?

W: We all went out and got pissed.

Graydon vomits again.

K: And that thing you did at the Slaughtered Lamb could you …

W: Blast his insides out ? A few moments of the Most excruciating pain ever endured. Probably followed by Death.

J: Maybe not that great of an Idea.

G: The way you’re talking. Sounds like you're starting to like me.

J: Don’t lose your head over it Twinkle Toes.

I smile at him.

K: This is all your fault.

She looks at Boorman.

B: Sorry, how’d you figure that ?

K: You send us on a wild goose chase to find some stupid artefact. And it doesn’t even exist. And now we’re trapped in some cursed castle and Aryk is still half a world away …

B: Right Aryk your brother. And meanwhile your ex-fiancé Grayoncé there, is being Ravaged by a 300-year old demon.

By the word Ex- Fiancé my grip on my Dagger Tightens.

G: Come on man. Don’t say Ravaged.

B: Sorry bud.

We are Waiting. I don't know for what but it’s Boring. I’m sharpening my Axe. While Jade cooks something. Boorman holds a plate in front of me.

J: Not hungry but thank you.

Graydon lays coughing on the Floor.

Ja: How long does he have ? Before it takes hold ?

W: Not long. Sometime in the small hours of the Night he’ll lose control.

I look at my Axe.

K: I mean we all know it has to be done. What was the last thing that Ballentine asked you to do ?

I look at Jade.

Ja: Kill him. He’s the Prince of Galladoorn Kit. We’d be at war

K: Hastur knew. Right ? We all knew that he never should’ve come. And If I have to decide between saving Aryk and waiting for Graydon to turn into some kinda Monster …

I sigh.

G: Kit’s right. I’ve had some experience with this before and I know I’m not strong enough to stop it. I don’t wanna hurt you guys. But I will.

E: If her Highness is in such a hurry to see it done she ought to do it herself.

K: Oh you don’t think I will ?

B: Uh I don’t. Killing someone who isn’t trying to kill you back, it’s not an easy thing to do.

I look down at my Axe. If it comes to it, I would do it.

E: Please you’re the greatest sorcerer alive. You obliterated Bavmorda.

J: There must be something you can do.

W: When she was young, your Age. Bavmorda was bright, curious, full of Promise. She was abducted by Members of a long-forgotten sect. The Order of the Wyrm. The crone radicalised her, converting her with their warped beliefs and gifting her with unnatural powers.

Ja: What kind of powers ?

W: Well for example she once changed the entire Galladoorn army into Pigs.

J: Hm, lovely.

W: Raziel and I, Eventually, changed them all back. It was chaos Pigs everywhere.

B: Sorry, All of them ?

W: Huh ?

B: You … You turned all of the Pigs back into people ?

W: Think so.

I nod. Boorman spits out the rest of his food.

J: So glad I didn’t eat.

W: The point is, the order of the Wyrm practised Taboo magic, against Nature. If a rite exists that can extract that Kind of evil. I think I know where we’d find it.

We all follow Willow into a room. He gets out a Book and lays it on a Table.

W: The Malatrium. Bound in the skin of a satyr.

K: Gross.

Chapter 20

He walks in front of Graydon.

?: What did you say ?

G: I mean I’d love to. But they’ve got me going up to, you know fire up the Troops. Cause I guess the Spirits have been low since they shortened our Breaks.

?: I gave you an order, supe.

G: Right of course. I was kidding. Lead the way Sir.

He follows the Troll and shortly looks back at us.

J: He's so happy. He’s still alive

B: He’ll be fine. He’s quick on his feet.

J: Like a baby cow.

We keep following Boorman. We take off the Uniforms. We walk over a small bridge, me behind Jade, her hand tightly in mine.

J: I’m doing this for Kit.

B: Is that your Mantra ?

J: It helps me stay calm.

Ja: Whatever you do, don't look down.

J: Didn’t plan on it.

E: Yeah yeah Totally. Except I’m one of those People you tell me not to look or think about something, then I…I have to look and think about it, Okay ?

J: Marvellous, absolutely fantastic. Keep going.

She looks down.

E: You were right. I shouldn't have looked

J: Keep going or I’ll push you down.

Ja: Jane.

We come to a set of Steps. 

B: There is a hole.

Boorman jumps over it then Elora. 

Ja: You next.

I nod.

B: I’ll catch you.

J: You Promise ?

B: Yes.

I jump and land in Boorman's arms. Then comes Jade but the board underneath her breaks. She’s holding on with one hand. I immediately lay down and grab 

Her arm. Me and Elora pull her Up. But the wand falls down.

Ja: Did we just lose Cherlindrea’s wand ?

E: Uh huh.

B: Yikes.

J: I just pulled you up and I wasn’t scared.

E: Willow is gonna Kill me.

B: Yeah he might actually kill you.

Ja: Not helpful, Boorman.

Jade stands up and helps m e off the Floor.

J: Maybe just don’t mention it straight away.

We keep walking. We arrive at a dark cave. 

Ja: What happened here ?

B: Fire.

J: Oh.

He stops walking. Looks at us and walks again.

Ja: Do you actually know where we’re going ?

E: Yeah cause this doesn’t feel right.

B: It is. We’re almost there.

J: Almost where ?

B: Wiggleheim’s Tomb.

I seething with anger.

B: Ok look before you three completely flip out, if I’d taken you to the Crow’s cages we would’ve ended up in one.

J: You’re gonna wish you were in one when I’m done with you.

I take my Axe to hand.

B: I know it doesn’t seem like it right now, but everything I’ve done has been for Kit and Willow. The only way we’re gonna ever find them, save them and get outta this place alive is if I’m wearing the Kymerian Cuirass.

J: YOU SELFISH BASTARD ! YOU’RE ONLY THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF ! YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOU !

He starts Running 

Ja: Jane don’t.

I run after Him with my Axe in my hand, up in the air ready to strike. Jade wraps her arms around me.

J: Let me kill him ! He doesn't care about us ! We don't need him !

Ja: Jane he is your brother.

J: No he isn't. 

I slip off my Bracelet and throw it in front of him.

He is just the person who found me. Aryk is my Brother. My Best friend. And we need to find him and for that I need Kit.

Jade takes my Weapons. I sit down. I don’t see the hurt look on his face.Elora sits down next to me and Jade tries to find a way out.

Ja: How do you get out of this place ?

E: Oh God. I’m spinnin out.

Ja: No, No.

E: Yeah. And it’s not the first time either. This panicky feeling happens whenever I get close to. I really thought I was Starting to figure it out.

J: What ?

E: Magic.

Ja; Yeah.

E: But it’s like the harder I try to control it, the more I just … I feel like it’s slipping away. And then I’m … I’m spinning. I don’t ..

Ja: No. It’s not you, Okay ?

E: Okay.

J: It’s this place.

E: Yeah. No. Definitely it's me.

Ja: This is your fault.

B: Uh untrue.

I look at Elora.

J: I’m so sorry.

E: Don’t be. You’re worried about Kit. And that is absolutely not wrong. I should've knows he lied.

J: It’s all he ever does.

B: Maybe let’s all agree that we’re somewhat culpable for something and maybe just try and concentrate on finding the secret door, Yeah? Which should be here somewhere.

J: No.

It starts rumbling again.

Ja: I think there’s another Tunnel back there that we didn’t try.

E: It’s worth a shot.

She pulls me off the floor. We start walking that way.

B: Wait just … please. Wait. I can do this.

J: No you can't, we're just wasting our Time here.

B: I can save everyone. I can fix it. I can fix it.

Ja: Fix what ?

B: Biggest mistake of my life. If I’d just …

?: Boorman.

Chapter 22

She’s holding a sword. I recognize it as Madmartigan’s. Elora also walks in.

K: He didn’t take his sword.

E: You can’t take anything. Not in there.

K: I’m going.

I look at her.

J: Are you mad ?

K: I need to.

I take her arm.

J: Kit.

It starts rumbling and dust falls off the roof. 

E: If you do, you can never come back.

K: I don’t care.

E: I won’t let you !

K: Yeah are you gonna stop me ?

J: I will. We have to get out of here. You can still save aryk.

She starts running. I put my arms around her waist and pull her out. She screams for her Dad but I don’t care. I carry her out and the Tomb closes. She looks around

K: Where is Allagash ?

B: He’s Gone. He got the lux too.

Ja: We need to get out of here.

I pull Kit with me. Outside of the Cave Trolls are waiting for us.

J: Brilliant.

?: Hi there. Which one of you is Elora Danan ?

Ja, B, E: I am.

The Trolls groan.

?: You know what, take both of them, ugh, kill the others.

Graydon throws Willow his Staff and pulls off his mask.

G: Hi Guys.

J: Never been Happier to see you graydon.

He walks to us. Willow picks up his Staff and points it at the Trolls.

?: What are you gonna do, Peck ? Kill all of us ?

W: Don’t call me Peck.

B: I say do it Willow. Flash fry these furry framps. 

?: Seize them.

Allagash comes running out of a Tunnel.

A: Sarris. Recognize these ?

Sa: Not really.

A: I’m here to even the odds.

A fight breaks out there are Trolls all around us. I try to protect Kit as much as I can. She rushes in front of Alagash and saves him by stabbing the Boss. Allagash takes off the Cuirass.

K: What are you doing ?

A: Damn thing doesn’t work. I put the Lux in and Nothing.

B: Ha Maybe a lifetime of lying, cheating, stabbing your friends in the back made you somehow, I don’t know, unworthy of its power  ?

Allagash throws it to Boorman.

A: There’s only one way to find out if it’ll work for you, Kid.

JA: More Trolls coming.

J: How do we get out of here ?

I look at Allagash. 

A: Through that gate.

Boorman opens it. The first one is Willow then Elora, Graydon, Boorman then me and Kit. I keep walking. We fall down some sort of slide and land on trash and see a yellow lava-ie looking platform. Few seconds later Kit also comes down But not Allagash.

W: Where is Allagash ?

She shakes her head. I gently take her hand.

B: Oh Bummer.

G: I think I see a way out.

I walk to him.

B: Ah Great and how do we get there ?

We slowly start walking. I look back for Kit.

E: Kit come on.

She starts walking slowly.

E: Kit we have to keep going. It’s gonna collapse.

K: Then make it stop.

E: I don’t know how.

W: You two please leave it for now.

K: You started this.

E: I didn’t mean to,

K: All that power and no self-control.

J: Kit come on.

E: I was… 

B: Guys ! 

E: I was trying to help.

K: Yeah of course you were. That’s what you always want, it to help right ? To …

J: Love please …

K: To find Aryk and to save Graydon just rescue us all.

J: Kit, you can do this outside.

K: I … I heard his voice.

I look at her. I didn’t hear anything.

K: He was calling to me. To Me ! and I could’ve got him. I could’ve brought him back and I could’ve finally understood why everytime he chose you instead of me.

She's Crying a Tear rolls down my Face.

K: But now I can't.

E: Please.

K: Or what ? What you’ll kill me?

J: No Kit please just …

K: You’re tearing everything down.

E: I know. It is all my fault. You know. Blame me, Hate me, just please, can you do it somewhere else ? Cause if we stay here we’re both gonna just …

She can’t finish her sentence. A rock falls from the sky and Kit falls right into the Hole which closes up again.

J: NO ! 

I run to the hole and try to break it back open with my Bare Hands. They quickly turn Bloody since the skin of my knuckles break open. Boorman pulls me back. I look at Elora Crying my heart out 

J: Save her ! Please ! DO SOMETHING !

Willow tries with a Spell but it doesn’t work. Elora finds the wand. I’m screaming at Willow and at Elora.

J: DO IT !

As soon as it breaks open she gets shot out of it and falls on me. I press her against me. She’s coughing up the water.

J: I have you.

I get up and Carry her outside. Being cautious of the Rocks. I keep carrying her.

K: You can let me down.

J: No, I will not. 

At the beach we stop. I sit her down on a Stone. I kneel in front of her and take her hands.

J: I thought I lost you.

K: You didn’t.

J: I almost did.

She wipes the tears away.

K: I’m sorry.

I shake my head. 

J: Don’t be. You were sad and angry. Kit we didn't hear his voice.

K: You didn’t ?

J: No.

W: We have to keep going.

We start walking with the others. Her hand is tightly in mine. We stop at an endless wet sand landscape.

Chapter 12

After a while Boorman's Horse stops walking.

B: Come on. You are Embarrassing me.

I smile at him still sitting on Moon.

K: Keep going.

B: Oh yeah, I’m trying. I just think his enthusiasm has waned.

K: The cuirass.

I look at him.

B: Ah well after Thuul impaled his little Brother on a spike…

K: The Part about my father and Jane's Brother.

He looks at me with the ‘You haven’t told her ?!’ look.

B: Me and her brother were the young handsome heroic ones. He was our, uh, slightly shorter comedic foil. 

K: And where’d you go ? Why did you come back, and they didn’t ?

B: There is no such thing as Fate. Okay, you get lucky, or you get Dead. I got Lucky.

K: So, you actually saw them ?

B: No but I know what I know.

K: How ?

B: Cause if he were Alive. If he’d come back, things would be different. You know the Cuirass isn’t a weapon. It’s a shield.

K: Against what ?

We look up and see the Giant Cloud over a Hill and Exactly in that Direction are we Going.

I look at Boorman.

J: You’re my Brother, aren’t you ? I’ve been thinking about it since you told that story. I’ve heard it before the exact same way.

Boorman looks at me and plays along.

B: Yeah.

Kit looks between us.

B: I found you in a closet after your Village was burned down by Raiders.

I nod. 

J: And the rest of my Family ?

B: They’re dead.

I stare in front of me.

J: Ok. I still don’t  hate you.

He nods.

B: Thanks.

K: That is so weird.

B: You think that is weird ? You got Pregnant because of a witch. 

He looks at me.

B: You still haven’t told me how that Worked.

Kit walks up ahead. 

J: Well, we needed to give her a Blood sacrifice. First time we brought two chickens. We got some weird Tea. The Witch drew a circle of Blood on the floor, and we had to sit in it. She drew some weird rune things with the Blood on our Arms and Back.

B: You were naked ?

J: Yes, now shut it. Uh she slit our hands and we had to press them together. She started Chanting some stuff. Then Pushed our hands away from each other so that our hands are still connected by the Wrist and the Blood pooled around there. She chanted some more, and a Blob of Blood flew in the Air which spinned around a little and then flew to Kits Abdomen and disappeared in the Flesh.

B: You said the First time ?

J: Took three Times. Second one was a Goat. Third a Cow.

He nods. We arrive at a destroyed Village and Bind our horses to a Pole.

K: It’s a Graveyard.

B: Hey what can I say ? I’m as disappointed as you are.

K: What happened to the Slaughtered Lamb ?

B: Must have gone out of Business ?

J: You’re Lying, aren't you ?

B: How dare you ? At least one-third of everything I’ve said has been true.

I groan.

K: We’re such Idiots.

B: No, you’re not you’re just … You’re just very Young.

K: I’m going back. Don’t care what you are doing Jane.

J: Kit wait.

B: Yeah, Wait.

K: Maybe I can still catch up with Jade.

B: Okay, the Guy who owned this place was a close Friend of your father’s. Okay we trusted him and he’s the only Person we told the Secret of the Cuirass to because we knew he’d take that Secret to his Grave.

A thunderclaps and I flinch. We go to an Opening that leads down.

K: You think it’s Down There ?

B: There’s only one way to find out.

Boorman goes down after me. Kit comes down a few seconds later. We get Torches and wander through the Halls. To a Room with a Well.

B: Over here.

He throws a bucket down and sits on the Edge.

J: Yeah, we’re not going down there.

B: Of course not. I need you to stay here and pull me up. Look out for the Wererats.

K: What ?

B: See ya.

He jumps down.

K: What are Wererats ?

B: Exactly what they sound like.

I sit down on the Step and stare at the Wall. Kit walks around. I sigh.

K: What ?

I look at her.

J: I’m not Sorry for going easy on you. 

She scoffs.

J: You know, considering you were Pregnant and you, you know, didn't tell me.

K: I told you before that I’m sorry about that. Ok ?

J: Yes, you did. But that Doesn’t change it. You could’ve gotten Hurt.

K: And now ?

I stand up.

J: I KNOW ! We talked about Stopping. Stop letting you win. But we didn’t. We just went harder. We never thought any of this would Happen. Everything I ever did was Trying to Protect you. But apparently that has no worth.

K: I really hate you right now you know that ?

I grab my Torch and walk to the Exit. Tears in my Eyes.

K: Where are you going ?

J: Outside. I need a breather.

K: Jane …

I keep walking, a Tear running down my Face. When I arrive outside it’s Raining. Then I see Ballentine Merrick and Keene. And the others.

J: What in the fuck knuckles is Going on here ?

And the Fight begins. I quickly get out my Sword and Start fighting. We all fight everyone. The wagon explodes but we can’t concentrate on that. If Kit and Boorman hadn’t come out of a Brick wall and pushed Ballentine away Jade would’ve been Dead. I try to protect Kit as best as I can. I fall on the Floor. Keene Stabs my shoulder with his Dagger. I scream out in Agony. It all ends in bright light. Ballentine Keen and Marrick get pushed away. The magic fading into thin golden air. I hold my Shoulder, the blade still in it. I see Silas on the Ground Willow by his side.

K: Jane !

Kit and Boorman come to me. 

B: I’m gonna pull out the Dagger and you need to put immediate pressure on it.

She nods.

J: No don’t you dare Boorman. I will kill you.

B: I’m sorry Sis. I need to do that. Otherwise, it will get infected.

J: Please don’t.

Tears run down my Face. He pulls out the Dagger. I scream out. Kit pushes her hand on the wound.

J: Fuck you Boorman.

He Rips part of his Cape and Binds my Shoulder. I hear Jade Crying. I get up.

K: Jane.

B: You need to sit down.

I push their Hands away.

J: Let me. 

I slowly walk to Jade, Blood running down my Shoulder. She looks at me. I pull her in my Arms.

J: I’m so sorry.

She shakes her head and gets up. She cleans her Blade. Elora Binds my Shoulder. Boorman Buries Silas.

B: Horses are Gone. They ran off and I think they had the Right Idea. All except for Moon. The Pitiless pass is about to become the Pitiless Lake. I don’t think we can go the Way out we came in.

E: There’s another way.

K: Those steps ?

W: No, we can't go that Way.

K: Why not ?

He doesn’t answer. I go to moon.

B: Okay, well, now you can do Magic, you wanna fly us out of here ?

J: No ? Well then, I’m going up the Big scary steps.

I take Moons lead and start walking. Boorman walks with me and one after another the others follow us. It’s still pouring Rain.
