Chapter 29

We were both sweating heavily when I lost the block on his communication. He suddenly lunged at me as he screamed, “Rathma! Send all of them now!”

While he was screaming, I had taken both his legs and his other arm. I had almost removed his head when he actually fell from the sky, hitting the ground.

I cursed as I slowly followed him down to where he was. As I approached, he was again laughing manically. “You’re too late, without you, they will take all the human world in no time.”

I smiled as I opened a portal to the huge field behind my Aunt’s house. As we appeared, his smile seemed to fall as there were at least twenty Jinns and another twenty mages.

The main thing that shocked him was the guarding knight that was taking out the undead with ease. Hajib’s mouth dropped open as almost a million were down.

He then turned toward me with a new look of astonishment on his face. I cursed to myself as I saw that he was healing astonishingly quick.

I smirked as I told him, “You really thought it was going to be that easy? Especially after I saved the mage prince and they reunited? Please, you have far more enemies than you ever had.”

He suddenly smirked at me as what was left of the undead started to grow to over twenty feet high. “Now little abomination, let’s see if you can defeat that!”

He then snapped his fingers and his face grew worried as nothing happened. “What’s wrong, Jibby? Can’t seem to leave or do anything? Yeah, tends to happen when you’re spelled to have nothing.”

I flew at him swinging my fist at his face, which he managed to mostly duck away from. What did meet his face stunned the hell out of him as he again hit the ground.

He then shocked me as he started to laugh like a mad man. “You think you have defeated me, but I will not be defeated,” with that, he turned a ring on his finger and vanished.

“Ah damnit!” I yelled as I shot a beam at him, smiling as he screamed. I dropped back to the ground as the leader of the undead was kneeling before me.

“I accept what destruction and punishment you desire to flay me with,” he said. He then lowered his head as he awaited my decision.

I looked down on the undead leader as I thought it through. I knew that a lot of what he’d done was completely against his code.

I then looked at my sister and both the Jinns that were mine. Then my parents, my aunt and her Jinn each had a different look on their face.

“Why am I feeling that all of you want me to destroy him? From what I can see and feel, most of this wasn’t his want or doing,” I said.

My sister was the first to look at me like I had lost my mind. This was followed by almost the same look from the others.

“Master,” my Jinn started. “We will do as you say, but truly, this thing helped our enemy to try and kill you, us. I am not sure that I,” here she looked at Cythina. “That we can forgive what was done.”

I sighed as I nodded my head and all there were staring at me. “I know, I know, but I am feeling that Jibbly really didn’t give him a choice.”

I could see that this was going to take a bit to convince them. That and I was going to have to go after Jibbly to finish him off.

I mean, I had a bead on him, but that was a bead. I still had to find him before, I snapped my fingers as I suddenly knew exactly where he’d be.

I asked our parents the time and date, then a smile creeped onto my features. Yes, I thought, I knew exactly where, I just had to make sure I was ready and I only had a day.

I turned to all the mages and Jinns that were there as I discussed what I had planned. A great many of them listened as my idea brought true smiles to their faces.

I then brought out all of the protections and weapons that I had gathered. I knew that they were strong as they had gathered energy from me the total time they had been with me.

I looked at all that were there, as many were astonished that I had all that I did. “Do you actually know how to use all of them? Especially this?” Cythina said as she held up the strange ruby red ring that Queen Amylin had given me.

I half nodded as the ring I was pretty sure of, though it was the only thing I wasn’t completely sure of. I knew that no matter what he had, I had a lot of force for good.

We all set up for the next day, for what would be an extremely traumatic day for me. It took all that day into the night and most of the next day to get it all ready.

I had still been trying to scan for Hajib though I still wasn’t feeling him. I sighed as the hour, I knew what would happen, when and where.

I and the rest of them, I guess you’d call them a troupe, were there waiting. It was a full hour before it was supposed to happen. I was still afraid that it might fail.
