Chapter 4
The Scorpion Returns
The next morning Torrado, Farin a Ziyran woke up with a slam of a door.
“What?” Torrado said jumping up.
“Huh whu-huh who?” Ziyran said falling out of the bed and on his face.
“What was that?!” Farin yelled.
“Oh no oh dear oh my oh no!” Daunty said running down the hall.
“What is up with her?” Ziyran stated getting up.
“Daunty looks scared let’s see what is wrong!” Farin said throwing her blankets off and jumping into her boots. Then grabbing her bow and arrows and her snow white cloak and running out.
“Wait I’m coming too!” Torrado yelled after her jumping out of bed and running out the room with his sword and its hilt and grabbing his cloak.
“Wait up guys!” Ziyran yelled after the two and jumping to his feet. Ziyran ran out forgetting his hat.
Farin, Torrado, and Ziyran caught up to Daunty and she was about to run into a room.
“Daunty, wait!” Farin said running toward her.
Torrado caught up to Farin just in time to see a scorpion break through the wall, splinters flew every which way and Torrado, Farin and Daunty stood idle.
Ziyran saw all this too and he cast a fire spell to blast the scorpion away, it worked. “Yeah direct hit!” Ziyran said flying up.
“Thank you, you three!” Daunty said running into the room she was about to enter.
A little while later Daunty came out of the room real pale.
“What is wrong Daunty?” Torrado said running up to her.
“Yeah, are you ok?” Farin followed.
“You seem sick...”Ziyran said landing next to Torrado.
“T-t-that s-s-scorpion t-t-t-took Dant!” Daunty said starting to cry.
“That fiend!” Torrado said getting furious. Torrado then took his sword out and ran out the huge hole that the scorpion made.
Torrado turned his head to look back and saw the medium sized dwarf house with its entire east wall blown out and even some of the roof. He saw the figure of Daunty crying and the figure of Farin patting her on the back and staring at Torrado. The figure of Ziyran flew past the two and caught up to Torrado.
“You think I’ll let you take on this scorpion by yourself? I don’t think so.” Ziyran said and stop flying and jumped out of it and he ran at the pace of Torrado.
“Hey, Daunty, Mind if I go beat that scorpion up?” Farin said staring towards Torrado and Ziyran.
“No, go get it for taking my husband.” Daunty said staring up then starting to cry again.
Farin ran after the two boys pulling out her bow and loading some arrows.
“Hey you two wait up!” Farin yelled towards Torrado and Ziyran.
The two just turned and glanced at her. “OK, but hurry!” Torrado yelled to Farin.
In a few minutes Farin was right next to the two boys and they started running again. In a couple of minutes they saw the figure of the scorpion in the dwarf city crushing buildings and throwing pieces of big buildings at other buildings.
Torrado stopped, and then Ziyran and Farin stopped behind him. “Only a little more and we will get Dant back and defeat this scorpion once and for all!” Torrado stated seriously.
Ziyran and Farin nodded and they ran towards the city.
When they got there they looked every which way and only saw destroyed buildings. Then in a matter of seconds a building came flying over their heads and crashed into a building that wasn’t destroyed.
“He is near get ready!” Torrado said holding his sword in a battle ready position.
Sure enough the giant scorpion’s face appeared over destroyed buildings.
“Hey ugly give our friend back!” Torrado yelled up to the scorpion.
The scorpion looked down and saw the small group and his eyes started to glow like fire. It then swung its giant right claw down and tried to smash Torrado to smithereens, but Torrado jumped out of the way. Torrado caught a glance of Dant in the scorpion’s claw.
“Guys! I saw Dant he was in the scorpion’s right claw!” Torrado said landing in between his two friends.
“I have and idea Torrado,” Ziyran started “If he swings another claw we should jump on it to get to his back! Then we can go to his right claw and get Dant.” Ziyran finished.
“Good idea.” Farin said smiling.
Sure enough the scorpion swung his left claw and the group jumped out of the way. The claw was going so fast with great power that when it hit the ground the ground exploded into a flurry of sand. The claw also got stuck in the ground.
“Now’s our chance guys!” Torrado told the two putting his sword away, and running towards the claw.
Farin and Ziyran nodded at each other and followed Torrado. When the three reached the trapped claw they jumped on it and hung on so if the scorpion gets free they would still be on it without getting thrown off.
“Guys I feel the claw loosening.” Torrado told the others.
“Us too!” Farin and Ziyran said at the same time.
The claw broke free from the sand trap and catapulted the three on to its back.
“That holding on thing didn’t work oh well, now to get Dant free!” Torrado said jumping up. Farin and Ziyran followed.
The group reached the right arm of the scorpion and carefully scaled down the arm to get to the claw.
“Come on guys lets break Dant free.” Torrado said pulling his sword out of its holder.
Farin loaded arrows and shot like crazy at the claw. Torrado kept slashing and stabbing at the claw and Ziyran repeatedly cast blizzard and thunder at the claw. In no time the claw fell off with Torrado, Farin and Ziyran falling off with it.
Torrado, Farin and Ziyran’s capes were flapping in the wind while they fell above the claw. The claw smashed into the ground and then Torrado landed on the claw Farin landed on the claw and Ziyran crashed into the ground next to the claw.
“Dant!” Torrado said remembering Dant trapped in the claw, he then ran towards the claw and tried to open it.
Farin and Ziyran tried prying the claw open too. Eventually it opened and Dant flopped out on his face.
Farin ran over to Dant and flipped him over and tried to feel a pulse. “I don’t feel a pulse!” Farin said shivering. Farin kept her hand on Dant’s neck and then saw a huge gash Farin then moved her hand to the scratch and then something strange happened.
Farin fainted and had a vision of what happened as if she were there. The vision was black and white. In her vision she saw Dant standing outside the house with bags of groceries trying to open the door when an explosion of sand blew down the barrier wall that the boys built the day before.
Farin also heard Dant say “No, not you!” The scorpion Farin, Torrado, and Ziyran fought the day before appeared from the cloud of sand. The scorpion stood idle just staring at Dant.
Farin saw the scorpion raise its tail and she tried to yell out ‘watch out!’ but when she opened her mouth nothing came out. The scorpion launched its tail at Dant and Dant jumped over it and grabbed a bronze pickaxe he was carrying and swung it at the scorpion.
The scorpion then batted Dant away and sent him hurtling into a shed. Dant limped out and jumped at the scorpion again. The scorpion slashed its deadly tail at Dant again and it actually slashed Dant. Dant let out a cry of pain and just stopped in the air and fell to the ground unconscious the scorpion then grabbed Dant and walked around the house. Farin started to cry and when she tried to get to the Scorpion the vision faded and she fell into the darkness.
“Farin? Farin? Farin are you ok?” Farin heard Torrado’s voice call out and then the darkness became light again.
“Huh? Oh yeah I’m fine...” Farin said sitting up.
“What happened Farin?” Ziyran asked.
“I had a vision, and I know what happened to Dant!” Farin said glancing around the cave the group was in. The cave was a medium sized one with drawings on the wall and a small window carved from the wall.
“So what happened?” Torrado asked.
“One second let me heal Dant” Farin said holding her hands over Dant’s wound and cast ‘Cure’ Dant’s scar vanished, but Dant still didn’t open his eyes.
“Oh no! Dant isn’t healing because he got poisoned!” Farin said standing up trembling.
“What does that mean?” Ziyran asked peering out the cave to make sure the scorpion wasn’t near.
“It means that my cure spell won’t have any affect!” Farin said falling to her knees still trembling.
“Well isn’t there a spell you can cast to get rid of poison?” Torrado said with a slight tone of worry in his voice.
“Well there is a spell called Poisonag, but I have never been able to cast it before!” Farin said with a little less shaky voice.
“Just try it! It may work you never know...” Torrado said reassuring her.
“Ok, ok” Farin said clearing her thoughts. Farin started to hum a little then she stood up and started to glow a bright yellow. “Poisonag!” Farin said holding her hands above Dant’s head.
The bright yellow light that was around Farin all started to transfer to her hands and then from her hands it spiraled until the yellow covered Dant.
Dant opened his eyes and let out a gasp for breath. “Huh?” Dant said staring around the cave at Farin, Torrado, and Ziyran. “What are you three doing here?” Dant asked.
“Well we came here to save you from that rampaging scorpion.” Torrado said with a hint of anger in his voice.
“What that scorpion is still here?” Dant asked. “And why did you save me when you could’ve killed that scorpion?” Dant said standing up and pulling a hammer from his belt. Dant walked over to Torrado with fire in his eyes and whacked him with the hammer.
“AH!” Torrado said falling to the ground with a huge bump on his head. “That is the thanks I get for saving you?” Torrado said rubbing his bump.
“No, that is what you get for leaving the city while the scorpion is still alive!” Dant said putting his hammer away.
“Anyway! Farin what did you see when you fainted?” Torrado asked.
Farin told of the entire vision that she saw, and after Farin finished her story on the vision Dant told them that that is exactly what happened to him.
“Dang, I can’t believe everything that happened to Dant Farin saw...” Ziyran said putting his hands behind his head and leaning back a little. Farin stood there she knew why she was having the visions it was called Past Reflect, she didn’t tell them though.
“This is not time for relaxing!” Dant yelled into Ziyran’s ear.
Ziyran fell back his arms flapping trying to keep from falling but he did and hard too.
“There is a rampaging scorpion out there and we need to stop him!” Dant said taking out his pickaxe and running out of the cave.
“Wait!” Torrado said unsheathing his sword and followed Dant out.
“Wait up!” Ziyran and Farin said. Farin grabbed her bow and her arrows (which were leaning up against the wall near the caves entrance) and ran out. Ziyran started to chant ‘blizzard’ and flew out after the three.
When the small party reached the city it was nearly completely destroyed except for a building here and there.
“This is what happens when you save one small person!” Dant said glaring at Torrado.
Torrado smiled nervously, then the ground started to rumble and once again they saw the scorpion.
“Get ready!” Dant said holding his pickaxe in a battle ready position. Torrado followed, Farin loaded arrows, and Ziyran was still chanting ‘blizzard’.
The battle started with the scorpion lunging his tail and only claw at the party. The party jumped out of the way and counter attacked. Farin shot her arrows at the scorpion while Ziyran blasted the ‘blizzard’ and that did the most damage. Torrado and Dant closed in on the scorpion.
Once more the scorpion tried to strike the two with his claw but right before the claw impacted into the ground Torrado and Dant did a front flip onto the claw and ran up to the body. Soon after Ziyran flew up with Farin in his arms. He tossed Farin at the scorpions face; Farin pulled out arrows and threw them at the scorpion and did a front flip onto the back. Ziyran landed next to Farin and started to chant fire.
The scorpion’s tail kept trying to stab the party but every time Torrado kept blocking it. Once more the scorpion tried to stab the group with its tail but this time Torrado jumped on it a spun a around until he had enough power to slice the tail off. Torrado jumped off and was still spinning when he stopped and dove at the tail slicing it off. He then fell to the ground.
The scorpion screamed in pain and shook off the others. They landed on the ground and started to fight it again. Torrado looked at Ziyran and nodded assuring that he could cast the spell. Ziyran released the spell and blasted the remaining claw. The claw fell off and landed in the sand with grains of sand flying every where.
“Guys, just like in the desert!” Torrado said. Ziyran and Farin nodded and Dant stood there confused. “Dant just follow my lead!” Torrado told Dant.
Dant nodded. So the major attack started. Farin jumped on the claw and loaded an arrow the arrow grew once more into the laser arrow that she had before. Ziyran levitated the claw and flung it into the air.
“Jump now Dant and get your weapon ready!” Torrado told Dant and jumping into the air. Dant followed and got his weapon ready for whatever was happening.
Farin didn’t move at all while the claw fell it was almost as if she was glued to the claw. Torrado and Dant got ready to hit the claw at the scorpion when it got to their level. When the claw reached Torrado and Dant they hit the claw as hard as they could at the scorpion. Farin shot the arrow and jumped from the claw. The arrow and claw hit the scorpion and sent him hurtling back. The group walked up to where the scorpion was and saw it slowly disappear with the arrow stuck in its head.
“That is the end of that scorpion,” Dant said turning. “You guys better get back to my house and get some sleep you’re leaving tomorrow...” Dant told them over his shoulder.
