Chapter Two

Shara couldn't take his eyes off Dart. It was truly amazing how strong the warrior had become. Watching him fight was like watching a skilled dancer. Dart and his blade were one creature. Deadly. Accurate. Absolutely determined. Striking without thought or pause. The way he stepped, turned, moved, it was so intricate and different each time. It was as though his body adapted to overcome each enemy he faced. Each muscle remembering and moving as if completely independent of each other. He was a killing machine when provoked. A flame that would burn and burn and burn, until there was nothing else for it to consume in its path.

Another body fell without breath into a pool of blood at Dart's booted feet. The muscular warrior turned and motioned for him to quickly follow. Lavitz was up ahead, looking to see if anyone else was going to come around a corner or from a shadow.

"Are we inside a volcano?" Shara whispered, seeing vents letting out sulfurous steam to his left and right.

Dart nodded.

That would explain why it smelled so bad and why it was so suddenly very, very hot. In a dark moment, he secretly hoped the place would explode once he and Dart were safely away. This place was horrible and filled with evil monsters who needed to be punished for the crimes they committed against innocent people. He wanted to make them pay very much. Very, very much.

He knelt down beside a fallen guard.

"What are you doing?" Dart whispered, turning to look back at him.

Shara reached for the guard's wooden bow and quiver. It was still filled with arrows. He raced over to the other fallen guard and took his arrows, adding them to his quiver as well.

"Oh, no!" Dart hissed, coming over to him. "You are not fighting."

Shara looked up at him from his knees, searching the fallen guard's pockets for anything that might be useful. "Yes, I am. I can help."

"It is too dangerous," Dart said, shaking his head. "I am not letting you fight."

Shara narrowed his eyes, slowly rising to his feet. "Let?"

Dart took a step back. His blue eyes suddenly looked confused and then agitated.

"I am not a girl, Dart," he said, putting on the quiver and checking to make sure the bow he had picked up was undamaged. "I may not be as strong or as experienced as you, but I'm sneaky and crazy as hell when I'm pissed." He strung his bow and fired a shot to Dart's left. The arrow pierced the center of a barrel. "Plus," he grinned from ear to ear. "I'm a really good shot."

Dart bit his bottom lip. The blond looked like he was going to argue some more, but Lavitz came running up to them. He had an expression on his face that was part worry, part annoyed.

"Quit arguing," he said, running a gloved hand through his hair. It was wet with perspiration. "We need to get out of here as fast as we can. Let Shara help, Dart. We will need him."

Shara smiled at the knight. "Thank you, Lavitz. I'm so glad you agree." He stuck his tongue out at Dart and walked by him.

"But," Dart said, but Lavitz put a steady palm to his chest. "He's…"

"Grown," Lavitz said as Shara pretended to no longer be able hear what was being said about him. "He's strong. His mind survived the horror of losing his parents, the destruction of his home, and being stuck in this place for who knows what reason."

"But," Dart spoke again, lowering his head. "He's innocent…I don't want blood on his hands…He's not a killer."

Shara steadied himself against the sadness in that deep voice. He was no longer a child. He was eighteen. He spun around and smiled at both blond men. "I won't kill," he said, giving Snowdrop, who was perched on his right shoulder, a gentle scratch. "I'll just shoot them in their legs. Enough to slow them down, so you two can take them out."

Lavitz chuckled.

Dart still didn't look happy.

"My parents have been murdered, Dart," he said, looking at him with all seriousness. "Let me take some anger out. Please? If I don't, I am going to go crazy."

Dart walked up to him, and lowered his head so that their foreheads touched. The taller boy gently began to rub the back of Shara's head with his gloved hand. "Okay…"

I am not going to cry, Shara said to himself, squeezing his eyes shut. I can do it later when nobody is looking.

I won't tell anyone, Beloved. Your tears are safe with me.

He smiled, giving Snowdrop another gentle scratch. The moon spider was going to be a really good friend.

"Come on," Lavitz said, walking by them. "I think I recognize where I am now."

"Are you sure?" Dart asked, leading Shara by the hand. "I should have used my sword to leave marks along the walls."

Shara rolled his eyes. "Blondes."

Dart squeezed his hand.

OOOOOOOO

Frugal was just about to sit down and have himself a bite to eat when a guard came bursting into his private quarters looking and sounding out of breath. The guy was talking so fast, he had no idea what was coming out of his jabbering jaws.

"Slow the fuck down!" He snapped, tearing off the leg from a stuffed bird. "And say that again. Slowly this time. Shit."

The guard took a deep breath, struggled not to piss himself, and began to slowly retell what he had just stuttered and spat out earlier. "Well," he started, feeling a little bit of pee run down his leg. "Well, that knight guy from Basil…I think it was Basil. It's an herb, right? Well, he sort of broke out of jail. I AM SO SORRY, SIR!"

He threw himself on his knees and trembled.

Frugal's left hand slightly twitched as he stuffed his mouth with some meat. "I am not talking about that!" He said, chewing between words. "After that!"

The guard was feeling his bowls begin to loosen. Oh, please! Please dear gods! Don't let me shit myself! These are the only pants I have.

"The guy from Seles was taken by this blond guy in red armor. He's fucking crazy!"

"WHAT?" Frugal roared, rising to his feet, spilling beer. "What did you fucking say?"

Frugal came around the table and picked him up by the scruff of his neck. "TELL ME!"

The guard filled his pants. "He was taken by the guy in red."

With a roar of rage, Frugal tossed him over the railing. The guard screamed all the way down to his death.

"YOU WORTHLESS FUCKTARDS!" Frugal growled, slamming and breaking things. "DON'T LET THEM OUT OF HERE ALIVE! GODDAMN IT!"

Guard's ran in a panic.

"WAIT!" He cried, remembering himself for but a moment. "DON'T KILL THE BOY! MAJESTY DOEL COMMANDS HIM TO BE UNHARMED!"

Guards ran, tripping over each other to get the hell away from him.

"AND IF YOU FAIL ME," he roared after them. "I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"

When the last guard vanished from his line of sight, he took a quick moment to compose himself. He was pissed and he was hungry. Hungry and pissed.

"The red one? I'll get you! I'll rip off your legs and barbeque them over a vent!"

He threw back his head and howled with laughter as he walked from the room. He would meet this guy in red at the only exit from Hell. The end of his mace.

OOOOOOO

Shara had to stop and take his breath. It was beginning to get really, really hot. There were so many vents now.

"This truly is Hell." He said, shaking his long hair in order to cool himself a bit.

Dart wiped sweat from his smooth brow and frowned at the shorter boy. "Are you okay?"

Shara nodded.

No. No, I'm not. But, I am so happy you are here with me, Dart. I'm so happy you came to save me. You have no idea how good it feels for me to be in your arms. Let's just get out of here. I'm never letting you leave me again. I swear it!

"I know where we are now!" Lavitz all but yelled, looking as if he were about to do some kind of happy little jig. "All we have to do is take this basket down and we're out of this hellhole."

Dart smiled and Shara was filled with relief.

"Yes," Dart said, sheathing his blade. "I know where we are now, too. We are close to a friend I made. He's a merchant. Maybe we can sneak out the way I came in. His wagon."

Lavitz nodded with a grin of his own as the three of them stepped onto the basket. He pulled a little lever and the basket began to lower itself slowly.

Looking down, Shara quickly wrapped his arms around Dart's waist from behind him.

"What's wrong?" Dart asked in concern, only to laugh under his breath. "Still scared of heights?"

"Don't pick on me," Shara whined, squeezing his eyes shut. "I'd rather shoot more guards than have this thing suddenly fall with us."

"We're going to be okay, Shara," Lavitz said. "We're almost out of here."

Shara tightened his hold around Dart's narrow waist. He rested his face in between his broad shoulder blades. If he wasn't so scared, he would have been able to fall asleep just like this.

"Shara?" Dart asked, causing him to open his eyes back up. "We've reached the bottom."

Breathing a sigh of relief, he let go of Dart. He followed after the two blondes as they raced along a long, narrow corridor.

"Just down these steps…" Dart said, suddenly coming to a halt.

Shara froze and Lavitz twirled his spear. Snowdrop on his shoulder gave a little hiss.

"Well, well, well," a monstrous looking creature that could have at one time been called a man spoke, looming before them tall and scary. "Are you the one running all over my prison, killing my guards, and acting like a prince in bloody armor?"

"Frugal," Lavitz snarled under his breath.

"Ah, my good knight," Frugal laughed. "You and your blond friend are feed for my Shnookums after I bash your heads in."

"Lavitz?" Dart asked, stepping up beside the knight. "Is this the head warden?"

Lavitz nodded. "He is. He's so crazy, even the people of his country are terrified of him."

Frugal frowned. "You three have such calm faces. Why is that I wonder? Paralyzed from fear perhaps?"

Paralyzed?

Shara's eyes widened.

Snowdrop!

Yes, Beloved?

Can you spit some of your venom onto a few of my arrows?

Gladly, Beloved.

"Did you attack Seles?" Dart asked, reaching for his blade.

"Of course I didn't," Frugal said, laughing out loud at them. "I just gave my men the order."

Shara trembled as he worked. This fat bastard murdered his parents, his friends…

"Why did you take Shara away?" Dart demanded.

"Not a goddamn clue, kiddo," Frugal said, giving his great mace a good practice swing. "Emperor Doel commanded me to bring the boy back alive. So, I did. One mustn't piss off the emperor. He's scarier than I am. But, the order was so fucking boring, I decided to spice shit up by ordering the complete and utter annihilation of Seles."

Shara saw red.

The guard on Frugal's right was the first Shara shot in the neck with an arrow coated in Snowdrop's venom. Before the first guard could fall to the ground, he then shot the guard on the left in the left lung.

"Damn it!" Shara screamed, loading another arrow. "I meant to hit his heart!"

Both guards fell to the ground, not moving.

"BITCH!" Frugal cried, swinging his mace. "I'LL KILL YOUR FRIENDS AND THEN LET MY WARDENS GANGBANG YOUR SKINNY ASS ALL THE WAY TO SANDORA!"

Dart and Lavitz ran at an angry Frugal while Shara strung another arrow on his bow. He took aim.

"Dart!" He shouted. "Duck!"

The blond rolled to the right and Shara fired the arrow into Frugal's right thigh.

Frugal growled in pain and pulled the arrow out. "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Lavitz came up on his left with a strike, but Frugal brushed him aside with a quick swipe of his mace. The blow sent the knight tumbling across the floor.

"Lavitz!" Dart yelled, running towards him.

"I'll get you bastards!" Frugal yelled, moving slowly towards them, dragging his right leg.

Shara fired an arrow into his left calf muscle and Frugal went down on one knee. "DART!" He yelled. "TAKE OFF HIS HEAD!"

Dart spun around in time to watch Frugal fall flat on his face.

"GUARDS!" Frugal yelled. "GUARDS!"

Lavitz was back on his feet with Dart's help. "We have to go," the knight said. "He's down. We have to get out of here now."

"NO!" Shara yelled, going to load another arrow. "HE HAS TO DIE!"

Dart raced towards the smaller boy and quickly tossed him along with moon spider over his shoulder.

"I'll get you!" Shara yelled over Dart's back, firing another arrow at Frugal, hitting him right in the left ass cheek. "TAKE THAT!"

Frugal roared in outrage, cursing them.

"I HOPE THIS PLACE BLOWS UP!" Shara yelled.

They raced around the corner before he could fire again, luckily coming upon two horses that were just neighing to be borrowed.

"We'll take these," Lavitz said, as Dart sliced through the ropes with his blade.

Dart put a yielding Shara onto a black horse and jumped on behind him. Lavitz jumped onto the other one. They both gave their stallion a swift kick and they were racing towards the open gates like the wind.

Guards dived out of their way as they raced through and out onto the bridge. They had just made it through before the gates fell with a deafening clang.

"WE MADE IT!" Lavitz laughed, cheering and yipping with glee.

Dart yipped right along with him, but Shara kept silent. He was fuming and struggled to control himself.

"Come on!" Lavitz said, taking the lead. "We have to hurry and find a place to hide. They will be hot on our trail soon enough."

Dart had his steed follow swiftly after Lavitz as Shara leaned back against him. He took deep breaths to calm himself.

"Are you okay?" Dart asked with controlled worry.

He shook his head. "No."

OOOOOOO

Frugal crawled to his knees, cursing and pulled the arrow from his calf. "Bring him back! Do it now! Or I'll kill you all!"

Suddenly, the head warden looked up and slight fear chilled the heat in his blood. It was the man in the black hood. He was standing on the landing several meters above him. He was looking down at him with a severe frown.

"You!" Frugal snarled. "When the hell did you sneak back in here? You could have helped!"

The man in the black hood chuckled ominously. His laugh sent shadows dancing across the walls and the air suddenly became chilled. "Emperor Doel is not going to be pleased by this…"

"Wait!" Frugal said, stumbling to his unsteady feet. "I will get the boy back. You'll see. This is only a minor setback. Happens more often than you think. But, we always fix them."

"I really should just kill you now," the man in the black hood said. "But, I'll give you the benefit of a doubt."

Frugal shouted at his other guards. "GO! GO! BRING HIM BACK! SLAUGHTER THE OTHER TWO, BUT BRING BACK THE BOY!"

He looked up at the man in the black hood and narrowed his beady eyes into slits. This smug bastard was number four on his list of most hated persons. He hated that violet eyed bitch more than anybody in the world. More than his father. More than his fucking mother.

"You!" He snapped at two wardens that were about to run by him. "Help me to my room."

They both fought not to piss themselves as they did as they were ordered.

OOOOOOO

The man in the black hood watched Frugal limp away with his guards. He really should have known better than to bring that boy to a place like this. There were fools everywhere he turned. Useless. Incompetent.

"Oh, well," he laughed, turning to look at the guards racing out the wide gates. "It doesn't matter. No. Not at all. All is going just as I plotted."

He floated up into the air.

Yes. These fools don't know they're in the palm of my hand. My utopia will rise.

To be continued…
