Chapter Five
Battle With Death (continued)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chazz grabbed desperately for something to hold on to, anything that would keep him, if only for a little longer, from entering that horrible blackness. But he grasped nothing but the earth beneath him as he was dragged into the gaping maw of the dark portal.
He only had time to scream once, the same kind of scream the bandit made, before he was silenced.
The Void had pulled him into itself. Once again the friends could see the victim, this time their friend. And this time, he would be the one whose soul would be shattered.
But instead of Chazz beginning to writhe in pain, the Void stopped and began to shift. It changed from a portal to the beast it had been before, then to a storm cloud, a dragon, and an orb of darkness, but to no avail. it seemed that The Void simply could not hurt him.
Unfortunately, it also seemed to be intent on still holding Tyron to the tree.
Willow simply could not take it any more. She sprang forward toward Smyte, but was knocked back by a flailiing tendril. Apparently, even though The Void itself could not move, its tentacles could.
Willow was about to hurl herself toward the opening in the trees again, but a movement in the bushes across the clearing caught her eye. A tiny figure darted out from the foliage, snatched the glittering diamond sword from the ground, and sprinted over to The Void.
The sword raised and was brought down upon the still-shifting Void. The beast, now in some monstrous, unrecognizeable form, howled in pain. Whoever it was had stabbed it in the foot.
The tendril holding Tyron relaxed, and he ran toward the dark monster, and, jerking the blade from its foot, stabbed it through where its chest would be.
In the blink of an eye, all that remained in the clearing was Chazz, pale and gasping for air, Tyron, and a small girl who couldn't have been more than ten years old.
