   Chapter4 Part 2

.:Grant:. 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 ran towards the claw. Farin and Ziyran nodded at each other and followed Torrado. When the three reached the trap 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 appeared from the cloud of sand. The scorpion stood idle just staring at Dant. Farin saw the scorpion raise it’s tail and 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 stopped in the air and fell to the ground unconscious the scorpion then grabbed Dant and walked around the house. “Farin? Farin? Farin are you ok?” Farin heard Torrado’s voice call out and then the vision started to break apart. “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.
