Drake's body trembled with exhaustion, barely able to keep himself from passing out. He fought the fatigue as it grew stronger, all he could think of was getting them both to safety. He felt himself start to slowly giving into the overwhelming tiredness, but Amanda's voice and hand brought him back with focus again. "You are right Amanda. I cant just throw myself away, I have to be stronger. I hope we can reach them for morning Tea at least."
The green aura seemed to grow brighter as he held Amanda tight, focusing his energy to push them faster through the air. Amanda's words brought his focus back to reality, visualizing what he must do and what is to come. {I will not fail you again mother.. I will not allow my actions to cause havok.. I will overcome this beast and the beast inside.}
The two vanished off over the horizon heading toward European shores.

Amanda looked up at Drake. "It's okay, Drake. We can stop this thing together. You mentioned going to find Brian and Meggan. Let's do that. Let's go find them and all sit down together and see what we can do to stop this beast." She knew Drake needed a rest too. He was bloody and beaten, he needed to sleep and eat.
"you need rest too. If you're going to take this thing on, then you're going to need all the strength you can get. She said placing her hand on his chest over his heart. She gave him a soft smile. "We can discuss this with Brian and Meggan, maybe they'll have some sort of insight on what to do. And I promise to help in anyways I can." |

Drake looked to Amanda, his face beaten and bloody. He didn't say a word but turn his eyes back to his destination. He was ashamed of himself, but glad she was awake and somewhat unharmed. After a few moments that seemed to be hours he spoke a reply, "No.. I failed.."
His grip of Amanda tighten slightly as he looked forward through the sky, "I failed to keep you safe and released that beast to the world."
"Once I get you to safety I will finish what I started with that thing.. one way or another it will be stopped." His eyes slanted slightly in anger, vowing to restore honor and protection to the innocent victims he had unleashed the beast upon.

Amanda woke with a scream in Drake's arms. "Let me go!!!!!" She screamed as she dug her nails into Drake's shoulder. "Let me go!!!!" She looked at Drake and then blinked twice before she let out a sigh of relief. "Drake? Is that you? What...What happened?
The energy that had been in Amanda's body had seemed to be gone for now, but she still felt violated, like someone had read every thought in her mind. Amanda wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked down, noticing that Drake was taking them upwards. "I'm...I'm okay if you need to stay." She lied, actually she wanted to get as far away as she could from here, but didn't want to ruin whatever Drake had set out to do.
"That thing...did you defeat it?" She asked. |

Drake fueled with rage battled the invisible force as well as himself from being overtaken by rage. The squeal of pain echoed through his ears causing him to snap his rageful graze toward the sound. As he watched Amanda falling to the ground in slow motion, his rage filled narrowed eyes slowly began soft as his heart fell to the depths of his stomach. "Amanda... noo. AMANDA!"
Drake dove for Amanda shielding her limp body from the falling rocks. He cradled her body in his massive arms. "Amanda, you ok? Amanda?!"
~Awww... did I kill your toy so soon?~
Drake snarled narrowing his eyes, he looked back down to Amanda then slowly stood up as rocks bounced off his head and back. {What have I done... Why do people always get hurt or die around me.. I wont let you die Amanda.} Green mist swirled around Drake. The pressure of the compressing power buckled the ground beneath him in a 10ft wide crater.
Drake curled his top body around Amanda to shield her from what he was about to do. Releasing the energy he exploded upward, crashing through the ceiling of the temple and through the weight of 20 tons of sand. The ground rumbled as he tore through to reach the surface leaving a large hole in the temple and sandy ground. As he was just about completely free something grabbed his ankle from the depths of the dark temple.
~Where you going greenie.. we are far from done here.~
Drake was pulled back down into the temple but not before tossing Amanda just outside to safety from what lurked beneath. The powerful creature slammed Drake down to the temple ground shaking the earth around them for miles. Drake slowly pushed himself up to his hands and knees as blood poured out to the sandy ground. Sounds around him was muffled and his vision blurry from the impact. {What.. what just happened}
A large hand grabbed Drake by the back of his skull, lifted him from the ground then tossed him face first into a wall. Drake bounced off the wall tumbling across the ground leaving spotted trails of blood from his path. The large dark figure approached Drake from the darkness.. its red evil eyes was all he could make out before being pounded over and over in his face, blood splattering all over the walls and ground.
~Ha Ha Ha.. Weakling! I think I am done with you.. Lets see how your Toy likes to play with me~
Drake reached out weakly to grab the creature's foot in attempt to hault its destructive path toward Amanda. "I... *cough* ... can't .. can't let you *spits blood* do that"
The creature narrowed its red evil eyes down at Drake lifting its foot up above Drake's head. ~Afraid you dont have a choice in that matter.. Now Die knowing you could do nothing about it!~ The creature slammed its foot down toppling the entire temple upon them both. Sand poured in like a rushing river to fill the empty void until the temple was once again lost.
Moments later the surface of the sand sturs as a huge being pulls itself from the depths of the sandy tomb. It lifted its head and raised its arms out in victory. ~I AM FREE AT LAST!~
It looked down over toward Amanda, slowly reaching out toward her it turned its attention toward over the dunes of sand. ~I Sense you.... I Hunger for You... Dark Wielder~ He left Amanda alone and marched off toward a certain direction he was looking toward.
Later, the sand sturs again as drake slowly pulls his wrecked body from his sandy tomb with one arm dragging limply in the sand. He spits out blood on the ground and slowly pulls himself to his feet stumbling toward Amanda's location. He falls face first in the sand next to her grabbing his arm in pain. He manages to pull himself to a large stone then pulls Amanda to him. "Its ok Amanda.. I'll get us out of here.. You are going to be ok."
Drake gently lifts Amanda to cradle her in his arm then jumps as far as his power will allow him to "Closet outfit is the Brits.. Brian and Megg better be home."

Amanda would be lying if she said she wasn't worried what was happening. The thing that was even a bit scarier than that was that she didn't really have a clue what was going on. She had followed Drake blindly into this. The temple shook and pieces of stone began to break away from the ceiling and rain down on them. Amanda threw up her arms and created a mystic force field above her and Drake.
"Drake, what's going on?" Amanda said as she tried to get a look at his face, but the lighting was so dim she couldn't get a accurate emotion. She hoped that he had an idea what was going but she'd bet that he didn't. Not really anyways.
Suddenly Amanda collapsed to the dirt ground and a chuck of rock that she had been holding up with the force field fell on her leg. She let out a squeal of pain, as she felt a weird sensation course through her body, almost like she was being shocked from within.
Then she blacked out. |

Drake stepped through the openning looking back to Amanda, "To the one who feeds off fear and hatred."
He stopped in his tracks as a wave of emotion blew over him, a normal person would have broke down in fear but this drove Drake further into the tunnel. "We find the door and report back.. nothing more."
Drake narrowed his eyes looking down the torch lite tunnel. "I aim to keep the promises I made."
The two slowly and cautiously traveled down the tunnel making note of the etchings on the walls as they came to a stone door. Drake approached the door, "These match what I seen in my vision."
[Welcome... visitors... Its been many centuries since I last felt the presence of mystic power and cosmic forces.. Come inside so I might take a better look upon you..]
An eerie echoing whisper floated across the wind as something spoke to them.
Drake could feel something inside him want to enter, to battle whatever awaits inside the room. He gritted his teeth trying to hold back the Savage Dragon inside him. "Not... Good Amanda.... My Rage is Taking over... Whatever is inside I am feeling drawn to destroy it"
[Mmmm Ha yes... I cant feel your hatred young Drake.. so powerful... so full of Rage...]
Drake snarled at the voice, "Its... We must leave.. It was a mistake to come here.. My presence is feeding the monster and it is making me lose control.."
He slowly reached out his hand toward the door, his other hand trying to hold it back. His body growing in size and a green mist aura started to flow around him. The clash of two powers sends vibrations of power and starts to make the temple shake and rumble. |

Amanda watched as Drake headed towards the tunnel. Part of her didn't want to follow him and yet she couldn't just let him go alone. She waved her hands to try and create a portal to get themselves out of here. "Something is inhibiting me from opening a portal up." She shook her head. "I don't like this one bit, Drake." She said moving closer to him.
"Looks like we're gonna have to take this tunnel. I just hope it doesn't lead us into more of a mess than we're already in." Amanda said as she thought about the possibility of them in a situation that they couldn't get out of. "I really wished I would have let Kurt know we were heading out...." Her voice trailed off as she thought about Kurt. She loved him very much, they had been together off and on for years. And at this point of her life she wasn't sure if they were on or off. It really didn't matter, because she knew they'd always be close no matter what.
"So...in this vision you had...Where does this tunnel take us?" She whispered. |

Drake pulled the sharp object from his shoulder then tossed it aside as if it was nothing our of the ordinary. He looked around the room, "Defiantly some sort of temple, none of the glyphs look familiar though they do resemble what I seen around that door."
The room almost seem to predate the earliest Egyptian era. The walls gave hints of early Egyptian craft and stone work with a huge throne that rose 15' from the floor with stairs leading down from it, large steps. Drake walked to the stairs leading up to the throne, "What ever they worshiped must have been huge."
A cool air blew through them like a ghostly whisper calling them out to follow.
Drake shivered slightly feeling a creepiness crawling up his spine, "Spooky place. Seems like there is a slight air current, maybe we are not the first ones that found this place."
He walked toward an unsealed stone door where the air was flowing into. "There's another room over here."
As the two walked into the room it was obvious they now stood in a sacrificial room, with a large stone sacrifical table stained of thousands of years of stale blood and chains for hands and feet. Drake felt his rage building up just before the stone door slammed shut with a loud bomb.
Drake spun around then ran to the door, trying to grip the sealed door somehow, "Damn.. We are trapped." Drake held out his hand feeling another cool breeze. "There is another way it seems." He followed the air flow a wall, cracked with etched images of what seemed like an evolutionary chain. Drake rubbed his hand over one of the drawings then looked back to Amanda, "Perhaps Keillia was right.. these look very familiar"
As Drake rubbed the drawing the wall crumbed to pile of stone with a passageway hiding behind it. "This Tunnel... I remember this Tunnel.. it leads to the door." |

"Yes, I'm alright." Amanda said as she dusted off the sand from her pants. She had hit the ground pretty hard but not hard enough to hurt her. Where ever they were it was completely dark and covered in cool sand. "I should be able to conjure up some light for us. Just hold on one second." She said lifting her hands and closing her eyes for a moment. Orbs of white light began to appear and they lifted high above Amanda and Drake's head, illuminating the room.
"There, that should do it." Amanda said, letting her eyes get adjusted to the new surroundings. She looked over at Drake and quickly walked over to him to see if he was okay. "How about you? Are you alright? You took a pretty good hit."
Amanda looked up and around at the new place and then back to Drake. "Where do you suppose we are? In a pyramid or a temple or something?" |
