Fifteen Journey - Chapter 36

A deep cliff was standing beneath his feet. A mountain holding him. The cliff separated him from his enemies. He had already reached its end and found a river. However, no normal being was able to get there and come alive but he had his aids. Now, what would the tricky future reserve to him? A girl approached.
“What are you thinking of, master?” she giggled with curiosity.
“Nothin’, really.” The dark skinned adult answered. “Have you found them?”
She happily grinned. “But of course! Anyway, there is no need to worry, they are coming towards us… guided by her.”
“So, Rick Flaim has already done that part of the job for me, huh?” he laid in the stone warmed by the morning sun and looked at the other side of the cliff. In those woods, they were waiting to begin the attack.
Sarith just smiled to her master. This was far better…

“I can feel it, we’re coming closer…”
Kathelin was leading the expedition until the enemy. It had to be settled right there. Rick was finally decided to beat Sarith once and for all. He could not risk a thing after the dream he had had with Kane. Something weird was happening. And they were mere puppets.
“It’s here.” The guide led them to the cliff where the battle against Sarith had taken place. The 12 hour sun blinded them so Rick couldn’t see the place where Kathelin was pointing to. But her warnings made him realise Sarith, their enemy, was there.
Still hiding his face from the sun, Rick heard Mike’s signal. The plan had started.
Horous was called and the mutant dog appeared once more. Fred entered his robot and Mike rode in Horous’s back and they were able to pass the cliff to get Sarith. None of them was able to check where Sarith was, due to the sun, but once they had passed the mountains, they could see her hideout.
Finally, Rick was able to see Sarith’s shape towards the sun in the top of the mountain. But another shadow stood next to her. Who was that male?
“Fred, Mike, there! She’s-”
A big and violent wind stroked against the remaining members in the opposite side of the cliff. Rick also felt a smelly and hot breath. As soon as the wind had vanished, he looked in front of him. Sarith was smiling and grabbing her baton. A battle was about to start.
“Welcome, to my stage… Rick.” A male’s voice was heard.
Rick looked up and was finally able to see a dark coloured young adult. Next to him, a big creature was grabbing his fainted friends.
“Mike! Fred!”
For Rick’s surprise, Kathelin made her chess move.
“Vince…”
“You can’t run away, Katie…”
“Stop calling me that!” she threatened the opponent.
Kathelin looked at the companion’s confused expressions. “How do you know…?” But she did not permit Rick to finish his sentence. She grabbed Ashley and Cassey’s hand and started running into the deep wood. “Let’s retreat. Come, Rick.”
But it was too late. With a quick jump and agile movements, Sarith stood right in front of the wood’s entry and placed her baton in Kathelin’s neck. She was still smiling.
“Let’s settle this here, Rick Flaim.” The dark coloured adult replied.
Rick turned around to face him. Yes, it was time to end it.
Cassey made her speech. “That creature…” No doubt, it was really it. The huge dragon made a quick move towards Rick. No way to stop him.
