This is a Continuation story to the popular Maze of the Minotaur story I had recently finished. Other than being thankful that you guys liked it so much, I knew that it needed to go on as our hero got back home. But now he wants to get back to This far off realm of man and beast men. And especially to one beast in particular. Borga. The Ogre he had fallen for.
So as before: This is a fictional story about a fictional land. A land of men and man beasts The realm of the now fallen Minotaur. His minions now seek revenge on Humans for his death. And our hero is the key. Enjoy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Finding Borga (18)
... After the quick collapse of the wall by the world hammers blow by my friend the ogre. We passed through the giant hole left behind by the pulverized wall. We rushed to the door and the hunter went for it. I cried out at him as I saw the red glow of the door. But as he grasped the door, he was flung back many yards. Knocked out from the blow of the force field that Tanji had put up.
"Shiit! Hunter!" I cried out
I rushed to his side. He was out, but breathing. The king if the krells came over as he saw my friend fall. Hunter was okay. But I was pissed.
"Mother fucker!" I growled.
I went to the door and had the ogre come with me. I looked at him and told him to break the door with the hammer. I worried that the blow my hurt him too. But I planned on a duel attack in the door. I grabbed my blade and aimed it at the doors hinges. Then I said to him when I count to three we both strike at the same time. He nodded and I paused to catch a breath. He did too. Then he pulled up the hammer, ready to swing. Then I counted down. 3, 2, 1...
"Now!" I shouted
The ogre swung and I used my force of will to pull all the power I had in myself and the blade. A beam of bright blue light shot from the blade as he struck. There was a 'thunderous boom' that shattered the silence around us. Then the door buckled. I told helium to strike again. He did. And again. And then the door was ripped from the frame. Flying in a bent and crumpled heap into the main hall.
"Yess!" The ogre shouted "Come. Let's go!"
The king left a few men behind to guard the hunter. Then we rushed into the palace of Balrog. We stormed it, my self a hand full of ogres and the rest if the krells men. It was a big place. So I wasn't sure which way to go. So I had the men and beast split up. Telling them all to be careful. Then as I stepped closer to the throne. I remembered the passage behind it and to Balrogs chambers. There was a door behind the large chair. So I went that way myself. Barring my blade to be ready to attack anyone I needed to. Cautiously moving up behind it and reaching the curtains that hid the doorway and long hall to it. I took a breath as I paused at the curtain. I then reached for it slowly. Worried something was waiting there behind it. But I knew I had to go in there. Was this where Tanji was, was thia where Borga was kept. And I still wondered if he was okay.
"He better still be alive" I said "Or you fucking death will be legendary"
I took a swallow as I grabbed at the curtain and pulled it back fast. There was nothing but a dark corridor. The long dark corridor. The lanterns on the walls were out. Obviously so could not see what lay in wait in the darkness. . I gripped tighter to the blade in my hand. Prepared for what ever came at me. But all was still and quiet. My heart began to beat faster as I crept through the darkness. Hugging the wall as I moved along it. Then I saw the tiny red dots as I moved in more. Four of them. Gleaming in the darkness. I figured I was reaching the chambers door. But what we're those lights up high. I gulped as I couldn't see what they were very well.
"What are those?" I said to myself "I need light in here."
My heart was racing now as I grasped my other hand and rubbed at my palm. I needed light and I figured I could create some with the power. So I rubbed at my fingers and palm a moment. Then my had started to glow a dull blue. Brightening as I continued. Then when it was bright enough I raised my hand up and aimed the glow at the dots. There at the huge door to Balrogs chambers stood to minotaur statues. Big and ebony looking things. One at each side of the door. I did not recall seeing them before when I was here last. And they looked so real. They were near as big as Balrog had been. Stunning creatures they were. Holding huge spike covered clubs in hand.
"How did he get the eyes to glow like that?" I asked "It's fucking creepy."
But then as I started to relax for a millisecond. Seeing nothing had been waiting for me. That was when the statues moved.
"Shit. They aren't statues.!" I cried out.
The two then moved, one after the other and towards me. Then the clubs began to glow red. He had given them more power. No wonder their eyes glowed as they did. The huge beasts rushed me in the corridor. I moved as one raised his club and swung at me. I thrust the dagger out in front if me in an arch and a blue shockwave of energy blasted towards them. The two beasts simultaneously bared they glowing clubs and they bore the brunt of my assault. Only pushing them back. But the beasts quickly returned to the attack. One slammed the ground with his club causing a powerful quake that knocked me over. The other then bore down in me to swing. I thought I had little time to react.
"Back!" I heard a cry near me
That's when I looked to see the ogre from before. The one that I have power to his club. He swung above me and struck the minotaurs club. There was a brilliant explosion that blasted the two back. The minotaur smashing into his brother and both crashing down to the floor. The ogre flew back hard and I heard him grunt. I welded my hand up and somehow caused a shield of light that protected me from the powerful blast.
"Are you alright?" I shouted back to the ogre "Yes" He shouted back "I am alright".
I crawled back to him and then grabbed the club he had. I poured immense power into the club. Then told the ogre to smash the floor with all his force. He got up and grabbed the club. The two minotaurs started to get up and prepared for another assault. Then as the ogre reared up and prepared to swing I poured more power into his body. Touching his back and pushing my lower through him
"I hope this doesn't hurt" I shouted "So it!" He yelled.
His body erupted in fire as he swung. He struck the floor and it literally shattered. Exploding in shards. I threw a wave of wind at the shards and the glistening marble pieces flew away from us and blew towards the beast that were trying to charge back at us. The sharp and jagged shards sliced through them and the fell fast. But the eruption from the strike continued as the floor buckled behind the fallen bodies. The door behind then cracked and then exploded inward life a sonic rush that tore through the castle. There was a cry beyond the now crumbling remains of the doorway. My hope was I struck him. This piece of shit that had taken the one I loved.
"Go now" the ogre said to me "Borga is in that chamber" "I can smell him" "Is he alive" I said looked back at him
He looked back and me and then gave me a soft smile.
"Yes. He is" he added "Now go" "I shall hold the passage"
I turned to head into the chamber. I knew what chamber it was. For I had been there before. Help captive myself so long ago. Then I saw another figure come through the corridor. It was the hunter. He looked battered. But he stopped as he saw the ogre and myself. He too smiled
"I too will hold this line" he said "Now go. Save Borga"
I smiled back at him and passed through the shattered doorway and into the chamber.... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Next. The final chapter
