Chapter 16: Cerberus

Osiris resurrected his son to awake the Guardian. All knew something was wrong because the Guardian didn't respond to Son of Osiris call.


"Why the son of Osiris dance with that staff near Guardian?" wondered Cara, Denna.


"He awakens the Guardian," replied Setna and Amanra.


"We have problems," said Chiron after spotted Cerberus.


"Don't say Cerberus comes here," murmured Folstag and hit his head.


"Any idea?" wondered Arkantos, Kastor.


"How we stop him?" asked Arthur, Gwen frightened.


"Nothing," replied Annalina.


"I sense a mysterious power from the Pyramid," said Verna.


"Osiris cast a spell to preserve his kingdom, but he is incapable to kill Cerberus," said Zedd, Shota.


"I knew that would happen," said Theris upset. "I hate these parenting conflicts."


"He wants his popularity back to defeat Cerberus," said Reginleif.


"Cerberus open many gates of Tartarus," said Nicci, Lancelot, Denna, Percival. "So, we must stop him."


"We are ready," said Theris roaring to his army. "We must destroy the gates and complete the ritual,"


"Anubis will aid us to destroy that scum?" wondered Gwaine, Merlin, and Arthur looking at the Guardian.


"Let's close the gates and restore the favor," advised Richard and Rahl.


"That means we must split," said Kahlan, Dennee.



Zedd and Shota marked the gates and the temple of Anubis from the Valley of the Kings. Theris with his army of Anubites remained at Pyramid. Richard, Kahlan, Cara, and Zed and went to seal the first gate of Tartarus.


"All four we travel again," remarked Cara being happy. "How do you feel?"


"Much better," answered Zedd.


"We have to fight against Krono and Keeper," added Richard.


"Is a coward because opening the gates," continued Kahlan.


"I hope Rahl house will rule D'Hara," said Zedd thining at Jagang.


"If we don't stop those nuts, everything will end," shared Cara and touch Zedd arm.


"Middle Lands can wait," said Kahlan and smiled at Cara.


"True, we have a greater evil now," confirmed Richard.


"Why we ride camels?" asked Cara holding her breath. "They stink."


"Kronos wants his power back," said Zedd.


"Kronos wants to rule, but Keeper wants destruction," said Kahlan.


"Kronos and Keeper are in the same place or?" wondered Richard realizing something.


"No!" denied Zedd and explained. "Are uncrossed boundaries."


"Keeper can't face Kronos in Underworld," said Cara.


"We are at the gate," said Richard and pulled his sword.

Kronos summoned mythological creatures. Cara corrupted some of them with her powers and Kahlan used Con Dar. They used the creatures to destroy the gate, killed unaffected creatures. Percival, Lancelot, Denna, and Nicci who went to destroy the second gate.


"It is an honor to be a Camelot knight and being here," said Percival smiling.


"Far from home aren't you?" asked Narev projecting himself.


"Do you want revenge?" asked Nicci taking her Dacra.


"I will not allow you to hurt her," yelled Lancelot at Narev.


"Is a coward, ignore him," said Denna spatting the projection.


"Always try finding your home?" asked Narev and said. "I don't forget about our history."


"I am not the one you know," said Nicci.


"I don't care and love Nicci," said Lancelot and took Nicci's hand.


"Wow, you are very romantic today, Lancelot," admired Percival and kissed Denna.


"MatterS what is inside," said Denna and saw Sisters of the Dark.


"Thanks very much for that," said Nicci. "You send your lackeys after us?"


"As long we are stuck in the Old World, yes," and Narev and disappeared.


"I hate the cowards," confessed Percival and took his sword.


"Time to kill them and return to the Pyramid of Osiris," said Denna.

They fought with D'Haran soldiers, Saxons, and Sisters of the Dark. They won the fight and destroyed the gate. Annalina, Shota, Rahl, and Dennee who went to destroy the third gate.


"Where will we go after we kill Cerberus?" asked Shota.


"I guess Ymir," replied Annalina.


"Ymir," said Rahl twice. "He is a giant troll from Norse?"


"That means we don't need compass now to guide us to the Stone of Tears," confirmed Dennee


"Kronos wants Stone of Tears to seal Keeper in Underworld?" asked Annalina.


"I guess," said Rahl.


"Egypt and Greece are a part of our trail before we begin this mission to stop Keeper?" wondered Dennee.


"Is possible, " replied Shota and looked at the map.


"How long we have until we reach the gate?" questioned Rahl.


"We are close to the gate," answered Annalina taking her Dacra.


"I am delighted because almost things become normal," said Dennee.


"I will regain D'Hara from Jagang," said Rahl smillibg.


"We establish the Orders of Confessors and Sisters of the Ligh," said Shota.


"What your son tries to seize the power?" wondered Annalina.


"Nicolas isn't my son," answered Rahl buffing. "He comes from an alternative future."


"Look ahead," said Dennee seeing Nicolas.


"My father, I am thrilled to greet you," said Nicolas bowing in his face.


"You will die," threatened Rahl taking the sword.


"You want to fight?" asked Nicolas. "You win, the gate is yours, you fall, suffer for eternity in Keeper pot."


"I accept terms," said Rahl attacking Nicolas.


"Say your last words," cautioned Nicolas and confessed. "Jagang name me the ruler."

Rahl and Nicolas fought. After blows, Nicolas fell to the ground and transformed into a crow to run away. They destroyed the gate and returned to the Pyramid of Osiris. Merlin, Arthur, Gwen, and Freya.


"What was in your mind, Merlin?" questioned Arthur rubbing his hair. "I thought I lost you."


"A Mord-Sith disguised in a Sister of the Dark," explained Merlin.


"I am overjoyed you are alive," said Arthur.=


"I go scouting the area," said Freya transforming in Bastet.


"The camel smells dreadful," said Gwen holding her nose.


"She flies," said Merlin weaving to Freya.


"I am thrilled to join you," said Gwen being happy.


"You can take care of yourself and you are more powerful," said Arthur and kissed her.


"We make new friends and visit new places," said Merlin.


"We have one more kilometer with this icky animal," said Freya after returning.


"Besides new friends, we have new enemies," said Merlin.


"Is a hazardous journey but we can save this," encouraged Gwen.


"It doesn't matter how hard is our mission. We must succeed it," said Arthur.


"We are close," said Freya after some minutes.


"They are invisible creatures," replied Merlin sensing something.


"They kill the camels," worried Arthur for a second.


"Mriswiths full of sand," informed Merlin using a spell.


"Let's kill them," said Freya.

They fought with magical creatures. Some Sisters of the Dark came helping their allies, but died too. The group destroyed the fourth gate and Merlin teleported everybody to the Pyramid. Leon, Leo, Verna, and Ajax who went to destroy the fifth gate of Tartarus.


"Why Kronos open those gates?" wondered Leo.


"Kronos has a plan and wants to succeed with," said Ajax.


"Is free for all?" explained Leon in short.


"Better Kronos than Keeper," said Verna.


"Agree," said Leo.


"So you use them and then you throw them like a piece of ragged cloth," concluded Leon.


"That is their mentality," Verna.


"To Norse," answered Ajax. "His name is Ymir and next Titan is Chrhonian."


"Who do you know this? wondered Leo.


"Last year Kronos unlash Titans," confessed Ajax.


"In case of Kronos escapes," said Leon.


"Gaia, Titan of Earth," replied Leo smiling.


"Was cruel what happen to Oranos," said Verna listening to the legend.


"Kronos banished Oranos and took Olympus," said Ajax. "Nobody knows what happens."


"A De-Ja-Vu or something like? That happened?" wondered Leon.


"In a manner of speaking," replied Ajax. "Oranos said to Kronos he would have the same fate as him."


"Kronos live with the fear," concluded Verna.


"A fascinating story of the ideal family," amused Leo. "Why Gargarensis and Poseidon betrayed the Olympian gods?"


"Poseidon betrayed Atlantis to rule with his father. Gargarensis is his ancestor and wants to receive immortality," replied Ajax.


"Mummies, snakes, and Anubites who protect the gate," enumerated Verna.


"This is the last fight in the desert with this vile creature?" wondered Leon.


"I hope so," hoped Leo.

They fought with mythological creatures to destroy the fifth gate. After a battle with the evil, they destroyed the gate of Tartarus and returned to the Pyramid of Osiris. Chiron, Odysseus, Gwaine, and Elyan destroyed the next gate.


"Kronos knows about Cerberus loss or he wants to distract us?" wondered Chiron.


"Hard to say," replied Elyan.


"We fight with little Prometheans and demonic dogs from Tartarus," remarked Gwaine.


"Kronos wants to be free," said Odysseus and stoped. "The rest are details."


"Kronos hopes Cerberus will have enough time to destroy the Guardian to slow us," said Elyan.


"The only thing that is between him and the Guardian is the shield Chiron," murmured Chiron worried.


"If Cerberus breaks the force shield, Theris with his army of Anubites will delay him," said Gwaine.


"Knights of Camelot, are far away from home," concluded Odysseus changing the subject.


"You say about me? What do you think about Folstag and Reginleif?" questioned Elyan.


"Unexpected but they are from the same time," explained Chiron.


"Here are many adventures and you can discover many things, but has a huge minus," said Gwaine holding the nose.


"The camel," continued Chiron being happy. "I am overjoyed I am centaur so I don't have to ride a stinking animal."


"I see the gate, but many ugly mummies with Anubites stay there," said Elyan looking better. "Oh, now I see serkets and scorpion man."


"You forget about the Avengers, Phoenix, and Sphinxes. They look at the temples," completed Odysseus.


"You think the temples corrupt them. If we demolish temples they will help us?" guessed Chiron.


"Rocs above us," said Gwaine hearing noises. "We can destroy that support where our enemies are inside."


"When the roc is dead, they come here," said Odysseus counting. "Also, we take the rocs that landed to destroy temples from above."


"An excellent plan because it is the only way to free the creatures and destroy the gate," hoped Elyan.

Chiron and Odysseus killed one roc with the arrow and two more rocs landed to see what happened. They fought with creatures and slew them. Creatures died because of the crush, took rocs and flew above the temple to wreck it. With the temple knocked down, some creatures were no longer controlled. Rocs landed to help the creatures to destroy the enemies after that destroyed the gate. They returned to the Pyramid of Osiris. Folstag, Reginleif, Mordred, and Cenred went destroying the last gate.


"My father described many things about Egypt and the world to me. Now I can see with my own eyes," said Cenred amazed.


"Here is more than magic, at this moment is a new world with new rules of survival like Norse," said Mordred.


"Albion is almost as Greece and Atlantis," said Folstag specifying. "I talk about weather and climate."


"The next destination is Norse," concluded Reginleif recalling the past events.


"Odin banished from Valhalla many years ago. If we succeed to save the Earth, I will speak with gods to accept you back," said Folstag looking at Reginleif.


"What is Valhalla and why they banish you?" wondered Mordred.


"Valhalla is a paradise where the mighty Vikings went after a heroic death in battle. I don't agree with some Odin doings and here I am," said Reginleif.


"I guess is about the madness of giants death," guessed Cenred. "Don't look at me with that face, I can't believe my father stories are true."


"He is the king of Esestir and knows many things," explained Mordred with ease. "You can share more things about Valhalla?"


"Sure," replied Reginleif saying the next. "Valhalla is the place of Odin, who had 540 doors. In Valhalla could march side-by-side 800 soldiers. Being a palace favorite god Odin, the dead souls it had served there. The souls of warriors made Living Souls Army. With the coming of night, souls were comforting the same treatment as gods. Symbols kingdom was two ravens of Odin, one representing the memory and the other wisdom."


"Now I understand why Odin like very much the ravens and Loki steal them," said Folstag. "That's why I put Denna and Cara corrupt them."


"Loki already corrupted and you released them," said Mordred.


"What is Ragnarok?" wondered Cenred. "I forgot what means, but the only thing I know is something evil,"


"You do this thing for us?" asked Morgana and Morgause.


"Happy to say it," said Folstag and continued the story. "Ragnarok is the ultimate fate of the gods. Also, it causes natural disasters and then sinking in the water world. The gods Aesir will wage this battle, led by Odin. Loki will lead his troops and his children, Fenris Wolf and serpent Jormungandr. In this battle perish part of gods, giants, and monsters, and almost the entire universe."


"How you dare show your face here after you did many bad things?" threatened Cenred, Mordred being angry.


"So I should execute you when I have the chance," concluded Morgause throwing with a magic bolt.


"It seems Arthur is better than me and accepts magic in Camelot," said Morgana and laughed.


"You can change sides; magic is in Albion," said Mordred trying her to convince her to stop.


"You think I care about Camelot when I can rule the entire world now, my old friend, Mordred?" wondered Morgana.


"We will destroy the last gate if you want or not," said Cenred taking his sword.


"Not so fast, my dear, Cenred," said Morgause and took her sword too. "Me and Morgana versus you and Mordred. If you win, I destroy this gate, but if you lose I will kill you."

Mordred made a spell on Cenred to make him immune to magic. Morgause fought with Cenred and Morgana with Mordred. After a long fight, Morgause and Morgana lost the battle and ran away. They destroyed the last gate of Tartarus and returned them to the pyramid. Setna, Amanra, Kastor, and Arkantos to regain the favor of Anubis to destroy Cerberus.


"Our friends close all gates and now we gain the favor of Anubis," said Kastor worried. "How we perform that?"


"We go to the Valley of Kings to find a temple of Anubis," replied Amanra.


"You mean the forgotten temple of Anubis?" guessed Setna and shared the information. "That temple appears when people loved Anubis more than Osiris."


"So we must advance to the temple and reconstruct it to gain his favor," concluded Arkantos.


"Osiris's shield doesn't resist much longer. Cerberus strike it with so much power," said Amanra seeing the pyramid. "We must hurry because there is no time left."


"Theris and his Anubites warriors can't hold Cerberus if the shield is down," said Kastor.


"Cerberus comes after us," said Setna sensing him. "Any ideas?"


"What you talk about?" wondered Kastor looking behind. "I do not observe him,"


"I cast a spell to teleport us at the Temple of Anubis," said Setna after nobody recognized the place.


"We are in this place but where is the temple?" asked Amanra shocked.


"Is down," replied Arkantos realizing what happened. "We can't rebuild another one soon enough to stop Cerberus."


"Isis, hear my plea. I am betrayed and Egypt suffers losses. Send your blessing upon me, and I will have my vengeance," prayed Amanra to the temple.


"Worked," said Setna and explained. "The temple work as a power source for the Guardian. Who dismantle Osiris, destroy all direct the ties between our world and gods world. So this makes Anubis helpless to save Egypt.

Cerberus smashed the shield and Theris with his Anubites was the final line of defense. Theris and his army prepared to attack and all saw a light above the head of the Guardian. In the next second, the Guardian awoke from his deep sleep and saw in front of him Cerberus.


"I am too close," said Cerberus taunted. "I will not get back down from a challenge."


"You will pay for all the disasters you have committed over this land. Rabid dog with three heads are you," yelled the Guardian at Cerberus. "


"Will we see that," said Cerberus roaring to the Guardian. "I stronger now."


"Powerful?" wondered the Guardian laughing. "You crushed me in pieces when I was in my sleep instead of dismantling in a fair fight."


Cerberus fought with the Guardian. It was a fierce fight between them, but Guardian threw Cerberus in Tartarus. Theris and his army remained in Egypt while our heroes resumed their journey.
