Chapter 18: Suprise!
Slaga had just made his darring escape down the mountain. Gertian and the sligs were still up at the top. "I'm almost to the end! I'm almost to the end!" Exclaimed Slaga while he was running back to the temple. Before Slaga could go to the temple, he had to check on the war. Once he got to the battlfield, he couldn't believe what he saw.
There were mudokkons happily cheering and dancing. This must have meant they have won the war! Slaga could also see many sligs lying dead on the battlefield. They have also tossed away their weapons. It made Slaga's eyes widen. But then, someone yelled, "Enough!!!"
Gertian and the slig troop came running out. the mudokkons ran as the sligs and Gertian tried to shoot them. Finally, Slaga came out and things grew silent. "Suprise, Slaga. Welcome to your death hour." Said Gertian. Slaga, who was still holding the blue fire at his side, held it close. "You just see, Gertian. Soon, I shall light the last torchholder and then I will become immortal!" Yelled Slaga. "I'm afraid I can't allow that." Said a voice.
Molluk had came out of the bushes. "Who are you?" Asked Slaga. "What? You don't reconize me, Slaga?" Replied Molluk. He turned into the mudokkon shepard. Slaga pointed a finger at him. "Traitor!" He yelled. He ran towards the shepard, but the shepard pushed him back with a beam from his staff. Slaga got up in agony. "So Slaga. Give me the blue fire, or else you'll die." Ordered Gertian. Slaga stood in silence.
