Moments later, Kaisen and Jian were hurrying north to join Saren, Kalda, and Zorrath, who had already entered the battle.
The road through the tall evergreen trees was rocky, but soon they saw the blackened soil that signified that they were entering the Wilderness.
Suddenly, a powerful burst of energy knocked Kaisen to the ground, sending shockwaves up his spine. But wait, that couldn't be right. The blast had come from the dragon egg.
"What happened?" asked Jian, concerned.
"It knows this is it. We must be approaching where it will hatch! The Mighty One must be up ahead!"
"Convenient, we're going there."
Kaisen walked on, the smell of battle getting stronger.

The black soil of the field was stained red with blood. The battle was raging before them. White Knights fought against Black Knights and demons of varying degree. The ultimate battle for the control of Asgarnia was already in full force.
"I don't see Saren anywhere," muttered Kaisen.
"Maybe there are other battlefields," Jian suggested.
"Or maybe you aren't looking very hard," came a voice from behind them. Kalda had come up behind them. "Zorrath is just finishing a legion of demons over there, and I think Saren is on a wild killing spree in the big battlefield."
"Is the battle going well?"
"Yes, so far. But I haven't seen any sign of Agaben."
The dragon egg shivered. But it wasn't under the freezing curse anymore. These were shivers of fear.
"It wants me to hide it," Kaisen said quickly. He quickly used his earth magic to move a hill over the egg, concealing it from view.
He was just in time. Just then, there was a huge roar. As it echoed, all the combatants turned in spite of themselves to watch.
From the huge palace on the north fringe of the battlefield, a huge black mass was emerging. It was a giant three headed dragon with its evil rider. As soon as Kaisen saw it, he had no trouble identifying both.
Anzaar the Puppet was riding the King Black Dragon into battle.

The wind picked up as the dark mass hovered overhead. The dragon flew away, cutting a jagged curve over the battlefield. As it departed, Anzaar dropped off his perch to the ground, facing toward Kaisen, Kalda, and Zorrath.

"Ah, so you were senseless enough to come here," he taunted. "Very well, I was hoping to fight you."

"It will be my pleasure to tear you apart," Kaisen shot back.

"Complacence is deadly, mage. You have done well, I will give you that, but I am far beyond your skills. It would be better for you to run, and hope that I am delayed in chasing you."

"I will not run."

Anzaar shook his head. "I gave you the chance, remember that."

Without another word, he fired a magical blast of fire at Kaisen. Kaisen dodged, but he still felt the blaze singe his robes. Kaisen returned a volley, but the Puppet dodged it smoothly.

"You'll have to do better than that!"

"Then I will," came a soft voice from behind him.

Anzaar turned and leapt aside, just in time to avoid being cut to ribbons by Zorrath's crystal halberd.

"Impressive. I didn't even notice you sneaking up behind me."

"I'm an elf. It's part of the job."

Anzaar pulled out a rune dagger and sliced at Zorrath. The dagger chipped a scar into the crystal armor, but the elf's skin was untouched.

Kaisen blasted a water blast at Anzaar, but the Puppet sensed it coming. Anzaar jumped aside and sent a Flames of Zamorak curse at both Kaisen and Zorrath.
Both hit their marks. Kaisen collapsed to the ground, his skin blistering from the intensity of the spell. Zorrath was knocked over onto his back, his crystal armor burned black with ashes.
Anzaar held the dagger over Zorrath. "Checkmate," he muttered, but he did not move. He was bound in place.
"Agaben!" called a loud voice over the turmoil. "Come out and fight us yourself, instead of sending this worthless Puppet!"
It was Zharoun. The Sage had sneaked into the battlefield, binding Anzaar where he stood. He walked out of his hiding place and stood next to Kaisen.
Anzaar chuckled. "This Puppet is far from worthless." The binding spell was suddenly thrown off, and Zharoun crumpled back onto his knees. "In fact, its magic is stronger than yours."
Kaisen got to his feet and stood between the Puppet and the Sage. "Your fight is with me! Leave him out of this!"
"My fight is with everyone, for everyone will die in the end."

WOW, That is a nice finishing sentence, "My fight is with everyone, for everyone will die in the end." WOW. But one thing i hope you can clarify for me. Is Zahourth evil? Since I think he follows Zamorak, but why does he go agaisnt Agaben and the Puppet if Zamorak is commanding them?
Nice story.

Anzaar blasted another Flames of Zamorak, but Kaisen dodged. As Kaisen rolled out of the way, he sent a fire bolt over his shoulder. It glanced off the Puppet's shoulder, searing the skin. Anzaar grimaced, but he continued fighting.
He blasted another Flames of Zamorak at Kaisen, who again dodged, climbing up a small hill.
Anzaar blasted the earth beneath Kaisen, and he lost his balance. Kaisen fell to the dirt at Anza**'* feet.
"Yes," said Anzaar. "Enough of your games. It is time to end this pathetic showing once and for all!"
A shadow came over Kaisen as Anzaar blasted another fiery burst of magic. The form stepped in the path of the missle and burned to death to save Kaisen.

It was Zorrath. The elf's face was smiling and grimacing at the same time as he fell to the ground, his body burned and bloody from the battle. "Zorrath!" exclaimed Kaisen in surprise.

"You have to finish this guy off, Kaisen," the elf murmured, death overshadowing him. "I bought you some more time. It has to be you. Your powers are mighty enough to topple Agaben's regime. All of RuneScape, and I especially, have faith in you."

"You didn't have to die for me."

"Yes, I did." Those were the last words of Zorrath the elf.

Kaisen stood and wiped away the tears from his eyes. The sadness was replaced by hate. "You!" he spat at the Puppet. "I am going to kill Anzaar, and then I'm coming for you!"

Anzaar smiled grimly. "You will have to kill the Puppet first!" He fired a Flames of Zamorak, and Kaisen knocked it away with a spell of his own.

"Rage is your undoing," Anzaar gloated, and he blasted the ground at Kaisen's feet.

Kaisen fell backwards, tumbling over the hill.

Kaisen rolled over and over, finally coming to rest at the side of a pit of lava. Anzaar followed him down, blasting the earth once more. Kaisen fell backwards over the pit, holding on to the rim of the crater.
"And so ends the legacy of the keeper of the dragon egg," Anzaar said as he approached, looking down into the pit. "All it will take is for me to stomp on these fingers, and you plummet. Goodbye, mage."
"No! Kaisen!" shouted Zharoun, who had come stumbling over the hill. His battered old form was broken and beaten, unable to stand straight. Kaisen remembered the when he had let Zharoun down. He was going to do so again.
Determination boiled inside him. Not this time.
Anzaar stomped his foot to the rim of the pit, but Kaisen's fingers were not there. It was like they had never been there.
