‘<\/i><\/b>The Shadow’ moved in the direction of the next gate.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He wanted badly to get there before it was too late.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, up ahead, a creature, maybe made of electricity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It threw a bolt of electricity in their direction explicitly.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>The Shadow’ dived for cover just in time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He looked around and a plan came to mind.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reddish iron ore was seen in the bank.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He dug out a bunch by magic. It stank.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>What are you doing?, Kronos asked.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/i><\/b>I will show you. I will make it to last.”\u009d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Magically, he shaped an iron cage using iron bars.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He flew over the creature and dropped the bars.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The bars of the cage sunk deep into the ground.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The creature had not yet fired a round.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The creature fired off a lightning bolt.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The cage lit up. The lightening went down the slope.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The cage worked as a lightening rod.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The creature was trapped. Now, this wasn’t odd.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>The Shadow’ slipped by and made it to the next gate.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He wanted to get through it before it was too late.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He opened the gate and quickly jumped through.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was all he could think of to do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A nice, warm sunny day, at the edge of some woods.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It looked peaceful. Would it last? He hoped it would.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anika got a read on what planet they\/it was now on.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She had a plan worked out before she was gone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She took the two young panthers with her.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She zapped to the desert village where it would occur.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lumicates, pigmy desert dwellers were there. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They were always mesmerized by her long blonde hair.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She went to the chief and the Witch Doctor mounds.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Told them someone\u00a0 or thing evil was around.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They would reach here before too long.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She wanted their help to stop them before they’re gone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She had known before, when she was there.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lumicates knew a lot they didn’t share.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, she felt they could help her.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Exactly how, she wasn’t quite sure.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was like they read her mind.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Their response was very kind.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They agreed to help and said what they would do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anika was shocked, and you will be to.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, that is for yet another time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, we will find out what they have in mind.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
