The two other knights got off their horseback too, The Dark Lord's sorcerer joined too, they drew their swords, but the soldiers first.
Half of the soldiers that were remaining charged at them. Orlswen as always stepped out first! Senar fought like a king, the Dark Lord's soldiers were no match for his warriors.
Cassey and his Sky Heirs fought together, supporting each other in the battlefield, Hornduras, Alby and Mantis stood back and watched them fight so powerful and strong. It only took them a little time to lay waste to all the remaining soldiers.
But what stood before them was even greater than what they had just faced. The four knights were very powerful and strong, coupled with the Dark Lord's sorcerer, who represented the Dark Lord himself.
"I have been enjoying the exhibition, and now, I think it is time I join shall we?" Said the Dark Lord's sorcerer, stepping forward, and coming closer. But he stopped, and commanded the knights to strike!
Orlswen rushed first, but they gave him a terrible blow before he could reach them! Their swords weren't no match for theirs, so Cassey tried!
Meanwhile, Alby, Hornduras and Mantis had joined, they fought with their powers and the Sky Heirs fought with their skills and strength.
Cassey got into a sword fight with a knight, he striked with the Treilz sword, and the knight blocked the attack with his, they pushed their swords for sometime, until the knight's sword started fuming fire, It made the Treilz sword to get hot too, it was too much on Cassey because it was burning his hand, but after much struggle, the Knight knocked him off, and the ground was his, he now saw that his friends and his Sky Heirs have all been dealt With, each suffering from their hit.
The Dark Lord's sorcerer laughed and clapped
"No. There's no need to even try!" Said the Dark Lord's sorcerer. But they got up again, they would never give up!
"We need to do something now," Mantis suggested.
But Cassey stood aside, he dropped the Treilz sword, and stretched out his hand
"No need" Said Cassey as he stretched out his. The Golden Trident found its way to his hand, very swift like lightning.
He held the Trident with his two hands, as it shaked his body, golden light running like lightning all over him, his eyes turned bright sunish gold, its light flickering in his eyes. The Dark Lord became worried, he was surprised and the knights were a bit afraid, this was a new found strength and they had no idea what it could do, but not for long.
As he finished stabilizing the Trident and absorbing part of it, he looked at them with a smile, and immediately, like lightning, he was in the face of a knight. The knight quickly moved to attack With his sword, but Cassey hit back with his Trident and the knight's sword broke into pieces. Unbelievable! Their swords never break but the Trident broke it!
As Cassey was still standing in front of him, he nodded him with his head, and the Knight got knocked off and down by a powerful force!
The three others charged, Hornduras came in, it was her fight too! She took on a Knight, but she had no weapon like them, she Only fought with her powers and body. Her body was impenetrable, but their swords could, if tried many times
Then, just then, Earth shooked, The Sky rumbled and the forest bowed! There was so much wind that it could blow off all the trees in the Forest, but they all held strongly on a host.
With so much shake and rumble, it was as if the sun was coming down, and just ahead of them, Lightning struck from the Sky repeatedly on one spot, they were all terrified, The Trident started to shine , it's light was so much that it could make a healthy eye blind
It shone so bright in Gold, and at the spot that the lightning struck, it was as if the rumbling and the howlings were getting directed to that spot.
The lightning formed a circle, a Golden circle, circling around it with golden lights, it was as if the sun was forming in it too. This was so glorious!
Lo and behold, The last gateway to Castron and the Albions!
"This is not happening! No way" The Dark Lord sorcerer said to himself, he looked at Cassey with the blazing Trident
"The time has come" Concluded Hornduras,
"Cassey! We must hurry, it won't stay up for long, remember!" Alby reminded Cassey. And as Cassey took some steps forward, he turned around
"Let's go save the lands, they have been waiting for us!"
"No! No way! We can't let you go anywhere! You must die by This sword, right here and now, all of you!" Raged the Dark Lord's sorcerer as they moved to enter the Gateway
"Cassey, I have something to tell you" Said Hansel
"What is it Hansel, this is not the time"
"I'm sorry Cassey, but your Mom died by that sword"
Boom! It all hit on Cassey! He had felt that something was wrong but never took it seriously! It was as if the whole world was running down on him, His mother was his everything, life meant nothing now. He raged and wailed!
"Noooooooooo!!!" cried out Cassey, and as he yelled and raged the Trident raged too, the power got so much in his body! They all felt sorry for him, but they had to leave, or risk never getting to Castron and The Albions
"I'm so so sorry Cassey but we have to leave now please, the Gateway will close if you get distracted" Alby cried out. But Cassey stepped out, he was ready to face the Knights and the Dark Lord's sorcerer
"Damn it" they joined him for the fight
The Dark Lord couldn't take it anymore, so he raged and got out his own sword, even more mightier.
"Leave her she is mine" The Dark Lord's sorcerer told the Knight, chancing him, he didn't want to fight Cassey yet, so he went for Hornduras, because she was strong too.
Cassey was attacked by two knights who combined their sword's strength on Cassey, but he defended with the Trident, they pushed and tried to pin him down,but with much strength, he spinned the Trident as they pinned him with their sword.
The trident's spin knocked off their swords, and in an instant, a power wave formed and knocked them off their feet! Cassey stopped spinning the Trident and hit it on the ground which made the ground break straight to one of the Knight's on the ground, it swallowed him and compressed him till death!
At this moment, they only had two more knights and the Dark Lord's sorcerer, so the Sky Heirs took on one, making a mess of him! And as they fought, The Dark Lord's sorcerer pinned Hornduras in a tight spot and hit her with his sword, he did it again but it never penetrated, but at this moment, Hornduras was weak from his attack
So he pushed himself back and gathered much power with his sword, he raised the sword up and it blazed with fire, with rage and much power, he dived at Hornduras, stretching out his sword which was moving with fire to thrust into Hornduras chest…
Cassey who was fighting with a knight, hit the knight hard, and saw that the Dark Lord's sorcerer was about to kill Hornduras, and Hornduras whose eyes was shut and weak was clearly going to die from it , so Cassey, with the strength of the Trident, in the twinkle of an eye, like lightning…
Blocked the attack! Alby held her chest and fell down. Allen rushed but it was too late
"Noooooooo" cried out Allen
The Dark Lord's sorcerer looked down,and saw the Trident's blade thrusted into him, burning his soul, he looked Cassey eyeball to eyeball
Hornduras gasped, as she saw Cassey in front of her, and at his back was the sword of the Dark Lord's sorcerer… the sword was thrusted into Cassey instead!!
"You killed my father… uncle" said Cassey faintly to the Dark Lord who was now on his knees. Cassey then thrusted out the Trident from his body and he fell, and died, vanishing.
There was a moment of silence, Mantis, The Sky Heirs just stood in shock, Alby was still on the ground, wailing in pain.
Cassey turned around to Hornduras his eyes were faint, his body was shaking, he falled down and Hornduras held him
"Yes. I can do the same for you" Cassey said, touching her face, tears ran down her face uncontrollably, she remembered telling him hope he could save her life too, Cassey did, sacrificing his own life, he had cleared his debt
The gateway couldn't stay open, so it gradually closed and disappeared. Gone for eternity
His Sky Heirs rushed down to him. Allen held his hand crying for his best friend
"Cassey what are you trying to do right now?! Huh! What are you trying to do right no??! , Don't even think of leaving me alone," Allen cried uncontrollably, Cassey's eye was closing, his body was getting cold
"I'm sorry Allen boy, I can see Mama face, I'm going to meet her soon, we have to accept our fate"
"No, don't say that, please you're not going anywhere"
"Always fight for what you love. No one can break you, except you want them to, there's a treasure in your heart,it is called love, it is all you need to be strong, don't let anyone take away your dignity and pride,and remember, you're your best friend. And in your heart lies strength, very powerful and unbreakable. I choose my fate, live for nothing, or die for something… I made the choice that suits me most"
Alby for up from the ground, feeling to die herself, it dawned on her that all hope was lost, and worst, her love was dying, she knelt down beside him, crying her eyes out, to the point that there was no strength to cry again
"I promised that I will find you, and will never lose you again. But here, the Earth has taken my beloved, in the face of the sun and the Sky, I'm better off dead, I'm sorry that I failed you Castro"
Cassey managed to smile, his last smile
"No, you didn't fail me. But trust me,my death will not be in vain. I died for Castron and The Albions to be free, a part of the Dark Lord is destroyed, this is Castron and The Albions first victory, and victory is ours."
"I love you" was Alby's last words to Cassey, and as he kissed him goodbye, he gave up the ghost… Gone.
They all weeped for him, confused on what to do, it was as if they were lost and would never be found. They mourned him till the night.
Orlswen lifted him up and carried him in his arms. They dug a grave in the battlefield and laid him to rest with the Trident by his side, Orlswen also stuck The Treilz sword on top of his grave. And on the soil, Hornduras used her nails to carve the words "Legends Never Die" .
