Chapter 14: The Broken Guardian

Our heroes saved Greece from Promethean and repaired that he destroyed. Compass guided them to a Gate of Underworld, the night came and they camped in Erebus. In the morning, they used the compass and found the second Gate of Underworld. They went to the gate and arrived in Egypt. Titan Cerberus wrecked everything. To defeat him, they must awake the Guardian. When they arrived at the Pyramid of Osiris, they had a big surprise.


"Only hope to defeat Cerberus is to awake," said Amanra looking after the Guardian.


"The Guardian," continued Kastor and asked. "Where it is?"


"Let me check," said Shota using her powers.


"You used the wrong spell," said Denna.


"Try together, this time works," advised Zedd and hoped.


"They dismembered it in six pieces and his sword disappeared too in the desert," said Folstag.


"What was the Guardian? Why is important his sword?" wondered Mordred looking at the remaining parts.


"Horus used the sword and defeated Seth," replied Amanra and continued. "After that Horus gave the sword to the guardian, the disciple of Anubis, to protect Egypt from the threat of evil."


"What we do if they destroy him forever?" asked Arkantos.


"We can form him again, but I need a scroll and Son of Osiris to rebuild," answered Setna while calmed Arkantos.


"Who is that guy with half-man, half-eagle?" wondered Denna looking weird.


"Son of Osiris," replied Ajax seeing him dead.


"I try resurrecting him, but don't work," said Cara and hit the ground in anger.


"Only a god can resurrect "A Demi-god," said Reginleif.


"Osiris, best option," pointed Folstag to the dead son.


"The temple is almost down, but is a box with something it in," said Richard analyzing it.


"That is Osiris. Seth cut in four and spread in all Egypt," said Kahlan from memories.


"How we beat Cerberus?" questioned Rahl.


"We must find the missing body parts," replied Verna with ease.


"Verna, you forget the sword," said Chiron warning her. "It awakens the Guardian,"


"To revive Son of Osiris we need three more pieces of Osiris," said Annalina.


"Osiris will resurrect his son," continued Gwaine.


"The Son of Osiris will awake the Guardian," added Nicci.


"The Guardian kills Cerberus and saves Egypt," added Merlin.


"Easy to say and hard to do," concluded Odysseus their plan.

Setna, Zedd, Shota, and Merlin made seven maps with the body parts of Guardian and Osirs and the sword. Amanra, Denna, Percival, Cenred, and Elyan. They went to the Valley of the Kings to find the Sword of Guardian.


"We are going to the Valley of the Kings," said Denna recalling a familiar name. "What is that?"


"In Albion is a Valley named Valley of fallen Kings, is a cemetery for them," explained Cenred what Denna meant.


"We must get Guardian's sword to stop Cerberus," said Amanra angry.


"How and when you become the queen of Egypt?" wondered Cenred.


"Pharaoh told me you became a queen with the help of your father," specified Percival.


"My father was a prominent man in Nubia. During the crisis, he reunited all villages and won the war. After the war, his kingdom fell, but all promised to help each other and they chose me to become the queen. With the help of my friends, we stop Gargarensis." shared Amanra to them


"You rule your people like your father and they get why together can defeat Kemsyt," said Elyan as morale.


"So your people are ready to sacrifice every moment," concluded Denna with appreciation.


"Footprints!" exclaimed Percival and warned. "Someone is in front of us."


"What writes on that sign?" wondered Elyan trying to read Egyptian.


"Something about a cemetery of ancient kings," guessed Cenred.


"Valley of the Kings," said Denna and continued. "We must split up."


"Watch out because we are under attack," informed Cenred and took his swords.


"Greetings, my dears, you are seeking for this?" asked Hippolyta showing the sword.


"Leave your miserable hands of that witch," said Denna taunting her. "You will die!"


"My mistress commands me to be in command of an army," said Kemsyt under confession.


"Listen to me," cautioned Hippolyta. "A duel; you win a sword is yours, you lose and your useless scums, surrender."


"Is my pleasure to slay you, infect crouches," said Denna and attacked Hippolyta.


"You are no match for me; I am the queen of Amazonians," threatened Hippolyta to scare Denna.


"I am a Mord-Sith, experience the power of the Agiel," said Denna and touched Hippolyta.


"How you can hold that thing in hand and don't say a word?" wondered Hippolyta feeling the pain.


"They tortured me with this until I learn to fight with Agiel," responded Denna.


"I am a true Mord-Sith; you are nothing!" exclaimed Hippolyta taunting Denna.


"Mord-Siths are not born," said Denna and continued. "It breaks them, every one of them starts an innocent little girl. I discover redemption and am more powerful than you."


"You win, and the sword is yours," said Hippolyta her last words. "I fall, my lord, Jagang, absolve me."


"Retreat now because Denna kills her," said Kemsyt running away.


"That is Kemsyt or someone who looks like him?" wondered Amanra confused.


"Is Kemsyt still confessed by Nicolas?" asked Percival.


"Kemsyt is under confession," said Cenred eliminating the doubts.

They retrieved the sword and returned to the village. Ajax, Nicci, Lancelot, Rahl, and Gwaine and went to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut to get the head of the Guardian.


"I was an outlaw before I become a knight of Camelot, but in my life, I don't travel so long way from home," said Gwaine.


"How long we have until reaching that temple and get the head of the Guardian?" asked Lancelot.


"You already bored my dear, Lancelot?" asked Nicci looking at him. "I thought you stronger than that."


"You can kiss me to become more powerful?" wondered Lancelot and got closer to Nicci.


"A knight loves a serving girl, interesting love story," said Ajax remembering Arthur.


"Who will be your boyfriend after a relationship will go?" wondered Rahl looking at the kiss.


"Say one more word Rahl and I will boil you again," threatened Nicci and slapped Rahl. "Is no one who can revive you."


"He is selfish because Dennee isn't with him," explained Lancelot and grabbed Nicci kissing her.


"Is an enormous temple in front of us and I expect to reach in ten minutes," said Rahl.


"What is Trojan War?" asked Gwaine. "My father tells me a story about it, but I don't remember."


"Is the war against Troy," replied on short. "Me, Arkantos, Chiron, and Odysseus fight in that war."


"You build that big horse of wood?" wondered Lancelot.


"You don't imagine how long take us to construct it and sometimes we were under attack," answered Ajax.


"Can such fool to accept a gift from the enemy and die in such a stupid way?" wondered Nicci shaking her head.


"You surrender giving them a horse," gushed Rahl and continued. "Troy party and in the middle of the night when all people sleep all leave and demolish the fortress."


"Stop now because a rift comes to us," yelled Ajax looking in the distance.


"A human with an iron hand who makes rifts to the Underworld," said Nicci recognizing the guy.


"I present my general from D'Hara," said Rahl. "After I had died, they arrested him, sent to the jail and because I don't liberate him, he wants to kill me."


"He is mine!" said Ajax and taking his pike. "Time to play."


"Sisters of the Dark everywhere you don't need," said Gwaine annoyed.



The fight began, the general used his hand to cause a rift to the Underworld, but Rahl used a spell to block his magic. Ajax fought with, kicked down and cut his iron hand. Without the hand could not protect against the sword so Ajax killed him. The fight with Sisters of the Dark continued. They got the head of the Guardian and went to the village. Kastor, Richard, Merlin, and Annalina and went to the temple of Karnack to find the chest of Guardian.


"Sorry because I misjudge you, Merlin," apologized Annalina.


"For what?" asked Merlin shocked saying. "I don't remember."


"Annalina criticized you in Camelo for Keeper's rise," explained Richard.


"What we missed?" wondered Kastor not understanding the situation.


"I was the prelate and lived at the Palace of Prophets," said Annalina and continued the story. "Keeper tricked Merlin in his dream causing Caillich death instead of rescuing her."


"When Caillich died, the rifts from Underworld appeared. Caillich was the protector of the Underworld in Celtic mythology. The Keeper replaced her." explained Merlin.


"We find the shadow water and cure all banelings," said Richard.


"Always is good to do everything if you know is good," said Kastor encouraging the others to do the same


"What you want to say with this?" asked Richard worried.


"Krios was the ruler of the Atlantean colony," replied Kastor sharing his life. "The servant of Kronos tricked me and I free the Titans from Tartarus. Yet, me and with my friends was strong enough to beat them. For me, that trial was my test of maturity and my father, Arkantos, gave me the staff and made me the leader of Atlantis."


"Mistakes are ever positive because you learn from them," said Annalina smiling.


"I have an uncomfortable feeling about that," said Merlin and cautioned the others. "Watch out."


"Krios isn't alone. He convinces some friends to go with him," said Kastor after looking in the distance.


"Banelings and Saxons," numbered Richard and lamented. "Oh, and D'Haran soldiers and Imperials."


"I missed your coronation I hope you will like my gift," said Krios pointing to the staff.


"Your gift is a sword? That means you want to fight?" wondered Kastor throwing the scepter down.


"Time to die, infidel," threatened Krios pulling his sword. "You are no match for me."


"Time to join Kronos, hideous you are," said Kastor.


"Soon Kronos will rise and you the world will lose," taunted Krios attacking Kastor.


"I hope that thing hurt you," said Kastor kicking Krios and throw with an arrow.


"You will pay for that," said Krios and ran letting the troops behind. "Kill them."



Our heroes defeated villains and found the chest of the Guardian in the vastest temple in Karnak. They grabbed the head and went to the village. Arkantos, Cara, Gwen, and Odysseus and went to the Temple of Ramses II to find the left hand of the Guardian.


"Cerberus was so upset on Guardian he beat him and tore his body, spreading over Egypt," said Gwen and asked. "So sweet; that you wanted to say, Cara?"


"Roger," confirmed Cara while laughing. "That I want to say, but you said first."


"Last year Kronos failed to escape from Tartarus," said Arkantos.


"He tries once more, but he has two enemies. They are us and Keeper from Underworld," continued Odysseus with the conclusion.


"How much we have until reaching the destination?" asked Gwen.


"An hour, let's move fast," answered Arkantos.


"We travel with horses in the desert. The camels stink very much," murmured Odysseus holding his breath.


"We reach the temple of Ramses II in twenty minutes of fast riding," said Arkantos rinding.


"Hide, hide now," advertised Cara seeing the enemies. "We have troubles."


"Mummies, scorpions, and a dinosaur guard the temple," said Odysseus.


"That isn't a scorpion, is a Serket," said Gwen from memories and added. "Also, the dinosaur looks like a cockatrice."


"That isn't a mummy, is a Nygaax," said Cara looking better. "Nygaax is like a mummy and wants to get new friends," said Cara.


"Let's release them until the Nygaax creates more of his kind using those people," said Arkantos.


"True," agreed on Odysseus and asked, "The mummies come now, to defeat us?"


"Stop," said Gwen and pulled Odysseus. "You don't hear all the story."


"In Nygaax is a living human, they charm bandages of mummies," said Cara and continued. "When Nygaax is dead, the bandages will take a different body to take control over it."


"As a result, we need an excellent plan to defeat him," concluded Odysseus a bit worried and wondered. "What plan?"


"You launch a burning arrow to slay him?" guessed Gwen and took the archer.



Odysseus killed Nygaax with burning arrows and the rest fought with creatures. After the fight had been over, they liberated the people and searched after the hand. They got it and went into the village to assemble the Guardian. Kahlan, Arthur, Folstag, Verna, and Leon, who went to the Sinai Mountain to find the right hand of the Guardian.


"You are ok, Folstag?" asked Verna looking at Folstag. "We are in a desert."


"Is strange to see a frost giant in the desert," said Folstag amused of the situation. "Thanks for your concern, but my mind is at home and I experience nothing."


"Good to know," said Kahlan calmed. "It seems we must climb the mountains and take the right hand of the Guardian."


"I am intrigued about what will happen next, but I don't need troubles," said Leon.


"My father should tell me more stories when I was young about the world," said Arthur upset.


"For?" wondered Verna. "When you grow up, you want to explore them. Now you must consider a lucky because you have the chance to view and see with your own eyes."


"It is fun to travel. You discover creatures, myths, history and more," enumerated Kahlan.


"You are the king of giant's right, Folstag?" wondered Leon being curious.


"I am the king, but nothing more," answered Folstag.


"What do you mean by this? You have done something wrong?" wondered Arthur not understanding what meant.


"I caused many problems in my region and people despise me," replied Folstag. "They comprehend what I do for them and after my redemption, they nominate me as the king of giants."


"We are in front of the mountain," said Leon seeing no way to climb. "What we do next?"


"I create a ladder with my breath," answered Folstag and hoped, "I hope, will sustain us."


"Stop!" exclaimed Verma pressing on the wall. "Is a door or something like this here."


"Stairs, are the lots of stairs that guided us up," said Kahlan.


"Let's see what we find here," said Leon climbing first.


"There must be a door above of us," said Verna after reaching the top.


"Is a door, but why you would let the unprotected?" wondered Arthur seeing nothing around.


"Traps?" wondered Kahlan and continued. "I see nothing around."


"A nest of Griffins up here," said Arthur after looked better.


"Let me frost them all," said Folstag and continued, "I am eager to eat a frost egg."


"We have the hand now," said Arthur, Leon and looked down. "But what we do next."


"Stairs destroyed and are no way to exit from here," said Kahlan.


"I will construct a slide as I do to my kids," said Folstag and laughed, "Will be funny."


"Funny," murmured Kahlan after fall. "Is the last time when I do that."



They held the hand and returned to the village. Chiron, Dennee, Mordred, and Leo, who went to Sphinx to find the left leg of the Guardian.


"I hope the Guardian will cut in pieces Cerberus," hoped Mordred.


"He will return to Tartarus soon," said Dennee.


"These are dogs from Tartarus or other mythological creatures?" wondered Leo seeing strange creatures.


"They are," answered Chiron analyzing them. "That moment when you talk about the wolf and wolf at the door; Cerberus is near."


"How we grab the leg if he is in this place?" asked Leo a bit worried.


"Make me mad, but the leg is moving on the map like Cerberus," said Mordred analyzing the map.


"How we take the leg?" asked Dennee. after saw at him.


"He has a nose," said Chiron and guessed. "We can give the leg to smell horrible to toss it?"


"I can try, but we must hide and when we are secure I attempt it," said Mordred and did the spell.


"Try a tornado of sand and use magic to recover the leg," continued Leo.


"Be ready to act," Chiron after the leg fall.


"Go," said Dennee and continued "Come on because it is under confusion now and it is our chance to take it."


"We have the leg," said Mordred.


"Run and be ready to beat his troops when the leg disappears," informed Chiron.


"He comes after us and ordered his creatures to ambush us," said Leo panicked. "Let's teleport fast in the village."


"I don't want to see his face when the leg disappears like us," amused Chiron and congratulated. "Good job."


They teleported in the village safe and escaped from Cerberus. Reginleif, Freya, Zedd, and Shota went to Cheops Pyramid to find the right leg of the Guardian.


"The last piece of the Guardian is over here in this notable temple," said Reginleif looking at the map.


"Most meaningful things in a pyramid are up," said Zedd and concluded. "So; there must be the leg of the Guardian."


"Pyramid of Osiris has many traps to stop intruders stealing things. The Pyramid of Cheops is much bigger and better protected," said Shota.


"It seems to be the biggest Pyramid I see in my life," said Freya looking up.


"Shota this place is safe? " asked Zed and continued, "I want to be ready to destroy them,"


"I notice nothing more," replied Shota after used magic.


"Is a trap or something like that?" wondered Reginleif.


"I don't get, but let's go inside," replied Freya and hoped. "I hope he will give us the leg."


"No stairs," said Shota seeing no way to climb. "They block us?"


"Use your mind," replied Zedd and explained, "They hide to protect the leg."


"We arrive at the grand chambers with the help of Zedd," said Freya and questioned. "Where is Pharaoh?"


"Dead," answered Leo after seeing on the floor. "Before to die, the Pharaoh let us a message, saying the Sisters of the Dark murdered him,"


"Sisters of the Dark?" wondered Reginleif and continued, "All you must die because you want to ruin this lovely world."


"Your Han will be mine and you can't stop it, Zuddicus Zul Zorender," said Ulicia accompanied by the Sisters.


"I suppose is freezing here, my dear Ulicia? You want to be warmer here?" guessed Zedd and threw with fire.


"You are alone assaulting us," said Leo and asked. "You are mocking me?"


"I am delighted you request that because here are my friends," replied Ulicia


"Your sisters and Mord-Siths," said Shota looking better. "It seems we are inside the bread."


"I will devour you, I am so hungry," said Freya and asked. "Where are the banelings?"


"This is not your concern," replied Ulicia throwing a Dacra. "A Bastet who constrains the powers, very interesting. You are no match for me and the banelings, hold the creatures of Tartarus away from our camp."


"Such a creature to eat or kill. A noble sacrifice in the name of Keeper I suppose?" guessed Reginleif while mocking the Sisters.


They began the fight. Zedd and Shota fought with the Sisters of the Dark and Leo with Freya with Mord-Siths. Some of them escaped and ran away to say Morgause what happened. They found the relic, left from the Pyramid of Cheops and went to the village. With all components of the Guardian, Setna reassembled it. Still, they needed reviving Son of Osiris to awaken him.
