Chapter 15 Tarix...

Xander replies to Tasen, “What do you mean, what do you see?”

Tasen says “I see men on horses and a few chariots all with Tarix’s symbol on them. They are heading to the caved in path.

Xander looks around. “Alright we need to warn them.” Xander then looks to Jack. “Jack pick him up. We need to head back.”

Jack picks up Tasen, carries him through the door following Xander and everyone else. Tasen’s vision returns after entering the black smoky mist.

The party heads off through the black smoky mist towards the castle door. About half way there they see a small party of draconians heading towards them. Xander quickens his pace to close the distance with them. As they get closer, they see Sword in the small group of twenty or thirty draconians.

“Sword” Xander yells

Sword Replies “Xander? I thought you had already left.”

“We were about to but we came to warn you” Xander says

“Warn me, of what?” Sword asks

They finally meet face to face.

“Of Tarix he is advancing on your home.” Xander says

Sword Replies, “How do you know this?”

Xander Turns and looks at Tasen

“Because of him” Xander replies

Sword raises and eyebrow at Xander. “Explain”

“Every time well not every time but most of the time we’ve stepped out of here Tasens vision had started acting funny. He says they he has no control over his sight during that other than he can see the ground from the sky.”

“Ok… continue” Sword says

“Well when we stepped into that door” Xander points over to the Bedroom door. “Tasen had another vision; he saw Tarix’s troops coming up the chasm to the caved in door.”

Sword nods “here’s the Problem.”

“Problem?” Xander says

“Aye, these men and I are leaving our elders for the reason that they are stubborn fools they are trying to punish us for having you help us when we apparently could have done everything our selves. Rubbish, with out your plan we would never have defeated that giant. We probably would have kept getting our men slaughtered by that thing. However they are our brethren we cannot sit ideally by and watch our men become slaughtered by that monster Tarix.” Sword says.

Xander nods

Sword then says “We will return and you all shall wait over there for us to arrive.” He then points over to the bedroom door.

Xander nods and Walks off towards the Bedroom door as the rest of the group follows. Sword heads off with his men towards the castle door.

A few minutes later Sword returns with the Golden Lizard and the amulet, “What is this about?”

Xander says “Tarix, hes bringing an army to you.”

The golden lizard raises an eyebrow at Xander, “and you know this, how?”

Xander then explains to the golden lizard about Tasen and his visions.

The Golden Lizard takes a moment to think, “How do we know Tarix isn’t spying on him wondering what we are doing.”

Tasen then says “Because in one of the Visions I saw a Blue scaly wing off to…” Tasen then thinks a moment “my right side”

Jack starts in “Just a Quick question, What is that Black Hole thing in the Closet?” Tasen then translates what he said to the Draconians.

The Golden Lizard Replies “It is called the Orb of Destruction it sucks in anything and it never comes back some say that if you are pulled into it that it feels like an eternity before you die, many try to use it and they fail. When you fail at trying to use something that powerful if fights back.”

“Do you want to know why its right there?”

Xander nods

“one of our mages thought that he would be able to Control it he failed and it followed him where ever he went. It was faster than him and surprising enough he made it so far in just ten steps.”

Xander then says “how will we win the up coming battle?”

The golden Draconian says “Well there are only two entrances to us and one is protected by what we call the Guardian. The other way is through that mirror.” the golden draconian points at the giant mirror.

Xander then says “I suppose we could try to lure them to the Guardian and lock them in and let it take care of it for us. However we would still have to take on a few that didn’t quite make it in before we closed them in, however I don’t know how we will close them in so I guess this plan isn’t to good.”

The golden Draconian says “Actually we have these little balls that explode and if we can put them in the right spots we can activate them and then we can close them in.”

Xander replies “Perfect, however we might get trapped inside and still fight them off unless you guys have an idea.”

The golden wizard puts in “we can have mages set up to come in and open a door way to the Caves where we had kept animals for food and leather then we can Close them in and corner them.”

“Good now, there is only one problem, how shall we kill Tarix?” Xander says.

The Golden Draconian then says “Well we have no idea but I believe we can hinder him at least if we destroy the Soul of his Daughter.”

Xander says “well in the amulet isn’t the soul of a girl it’s a soul of a man, because I looked into it after we got if from the Giant and a girls face didn’t show instead it was a mans, do you suppose it is Tarix’s?”

The Golden lizard thinks for a moment. He ponders the question for a little bit then answers “did you know that Tarix has had six daughters all elven when there is no Wife that has been spoken of also This Daughter would be his Seventh.”

Xander says “yeah I’ve heard of him having a few daughters and what’s your point?”

“Tarix is Human and has been living for three hundred years and his appearance hasn’t changed and none the less the fact that every fifty years his daughter would die under the age of twenty and they appear to come out of thin air.”

Xander then says “do you think he creates his Daughters using powerful magic?” Xander says

“Its very much possible, but you cannot create a soul with magic because it must be taken but such a thing would harm the soul and how he would use it is beyond me.” Says the Golden Draconian

Xander then says “What if, the daughters are just Packages like something to store his soul in. and every fifty years he would store it in one of his daughters and after every fifty years he would kill her and takes his soul back. And afterwards he discards them like an empty case.”

“Well, if that is True then we have his soul and all we need to do if find a way to Destroy it and that’s the only problem.” The Golden Draconian says

“What do you mean?” Xander asks

“Well, we have tried many times already to destroy it but nothing is working. I if believe that if we can destroy his soul the Army would disperse, but we have nothing to destroy it with.”

Tasen the Raises his hand, “Yes Gnome?” The Golden Draconian says.

“Well, Why don’t we throw the Amulet inside the orb of Destruction?” Tasen says.

The Golden Draconian then looks at the Gnome and says, “Hmm, never thought of that, I guess we could give it a try.”

The Golden Draconian walks over to the orb of destruction as Sword his men and Xander along with the rest of the group. The Golden Draconian then tosses the Amulet at the Orb and the Amulet Jets into the center of it and Disappears, as the amulet disappears a Large Quake shifts the Ground and a Large Explosion is heard through the Mirror and the Golden Draconian then says “Sword Take your Twenty men the his Friends to their Station I will send the Engineers and Mages.
