Chapter 44 Dawn of the Guardians Children

The sleek silver vessel flew in and out of the huge clouds that dotted the morning sky for miles on end. In the distance loomed the Fortress of Clorn upon a dorment volcano and below lied the great swamp lands. It was nearing sun rise and Trilas was growing ever more confident with himself. As he approached the fortress his sleek vessel began to transform back into a normal sphere. It came in for a landing on a small platform. The hatch opened and out came Trilas with the Lost Relec of The Omega in his hands. A slight breeze blew over him and made a quite howel as his black cape blew in the wind.

"Open the gates!"

"Yes sir!"

Suddenly a dark mud walked up to a lever and pulled it and the huge gate to the fortress opened. Trilas moved in.

"I HAVE THE RELEC! STAND ASIDE!"

"Yes sir!"

Quickly Trilas headed for the dark room as the halls seemed to go on forever.

"Open the gate." as Trilas ordered the chamber guard.

The gate opened up to the dark room. He moved to the end of the platform and called out to the voice of the dark void.

"Master I have the relec in which you sought. Give me your attention."

"SO YOU HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL MY FRIEND?

"YOU WILL GIVE IT TO ME WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. BUT RIGHT NOW TAKE IT AND SUMMON THE CHILDREN OF THE GUARDIEN. THEY ARE HEADED THIS WAY MY FRIEND BE GONE AND TAKE CARE OF THEM!" said the voice.

"But master?"

"HAVE I NOT MADE MYSELF CLEAR BE GONE AND RETURN WITH IT!"

"Yes master."

Trilas then left the room and headed out of the fortress thinking to himself on how easy this all sounds to him. He began to laugh.

"hehehehehehehehe hahahahahahahahahahaha! so my master doesent need this relec right now eh! Well then my plan is working ever so perfectly. I will summon the children of the guardian to destroy that pesky glukken and his friends. Beware Clorn, the time is at hand that I Trilas will be devine hehehehehehehehehehe hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Trilas then flew off in his vessel towards a cliff along with the relec. Meanwhile our heroes were approaching the swampland flying so gracefully on Wheely back.

"Wheely, how much further?"

"Not too much Kleek. Me see Clorns fortress in the distance!"

"Very good, keep on the presant coarse."

"Silak what has happened here, it looks different." asked Zin.

"I don't know, Clorns power must be growing!"

"Silak is correct. When the three of you left in search of the relec the armies of evil took these lands and drove out the races of peace. My people too were driven out by the forces of Clorns great army." explained Kleek

"Just how big is this army Kleek? asked Kluna. I can't believe the Alpha Sligs were too driven out of their kingdom!" said Kluna

"My boy, it is of tens of thousands of solders that belong to the forces of darkness. But a resistence is forming at the coast ready to attack the fortress. That battle is looming close my friend!" explaned Kleek.

"Wow!"

As they were moveing quickly through the morning sky in and out of the clouds Trilas was standing high upon a cliff over looking the swamp lands watching them closely through his visor.

"So Silak, you really think you can out smart me now eh!" You are in for a big surprise hehehehehehehehehehehehe hahahahahahahahaha!"

Then he took the relec in his hands and held it high in the air calling out the words.

"I summon the children of the guardian! Arise from your graves and take revenge of your sauls doom!"

Suddenly he pointed the relec to the ground and there came upon a deathly silence when the ground began to break open in front of him as Mudokin skeletons came crawling out of the ground. It was more than just Mudokins for it was other skeletonal creatures as well. Some with wings and others like sepants. Then the mudokin skeletons took out poisoned tiped arrows and pointed upward into the sky aiming for our friends.

"On my orders my children, fire!"

The skeleton mudokins stood streight in a row waiting for the orders. Meanwhile our friends were flying towards this when Zin noticed what was occuring.

"Silak whats that?"

"I don't know! They look like...oh my we need to keep flying!"

"What is it Silak?"

"THEY MUST BE THE CHILDREN OF THE GUARDIAN!"

"Who?" said Kluna.

"The children. Fallen creatures or dark Muds who have died in combat. They are skeletons that will attack even in the air!"

With a frighten look on Zins face they were flying towards the small group of skeletons. Trilas then ordered them to shoot. Suddenly they came flying in as each skeleton started shooting at them. Dodgeing a sworm of arrows they escaped the first round.

"Fire my children keep fireing bring them down as the scum they are!"

More and more poison arrows were being fired upon them.

"Keep dodgeing them Wheely!"

"Me trying master Silak!"

"What is that?"

Suddenly out of the clouds came flying skeleltons attacking them fiercely. Suddenly Kluna was hit by one of the poison arrows causeing Silak to fall into the dark swamps below. Trilas looked on and saw Silak fall and headed awey. Meanwhile our friends managed to escape and land on the other side of the swamp.

"We need to land Wheely! Kluna is wounded!"

"Yes me master Kleek!"

They landed in a safe spot on the other side of the swamps and rested as Zin looked on in disbelief.

"What do we do now Kleek? We lost Silak in the swamps!" said Zin. And Kluna is hurt!"

"We need to hurry for the poison is leathal if ignored. Our only hope is to find a wich doctor named Lazlo the Vykker. He lives on the edge of these swamps in the Vykker kingdom of the trees. He is our only hope for Kluna and for us." explaned Kleek.

"But what of Silak? He is lost in the dark swamp lands!"

"He is a resourceful and strong Glukken. I am sure he is ok. We will find him Zin, I promise you that!"

As Kleek put his hands around Zin holding Kluna with Blunk and Wheely stareing on at the swamps. What will be of Silak?
