Kronos Escapes Hell (Chapter Five)
Over two months had passed.
The end of Kronos at last?
Then, suddenly, he was back again.
So fast that it made their heads spin.
Black lightening hit the Wizard patrol.
Turned them to ‘crispy critters,’ you know.
Then, like that, he was gone again.
Things were like he had never been.
Other Wizards mourned over their dead.
There was no time for anything to be said.
Word was sent to Vantera via wand.
Where Anika and her family had gone.
They immediately held a meeting.
The Power Of 12 were superseding.
“Care MUST be used. He killed 6 Wizards.”
“It was instant. He cooked their gizzards.”
“Tremendous power. No time for a shield.”
He now has more power than we can wield.
“It seems Anika, that he wants you.”
“We need a plan. What can we do?”
Ideas were not coming in very fast.
“He waited 2 months, then, ‘smash!'”
“He seems to be goading us into action.”
“It looks like a trap. That’s crap then.”
“He is arrogant. His downfall will depend
on how we can use that against him.”
“We don’t know how he escaped hell.”
“Was he released, or was it a spell?”
“He also seems to have more power.”
“This is truly the bewitching hour.”
“# 1, he can never catch us all together.”
“He will have Anika bound in leathers.”
“Ties she can’t break with any spell.”
“Then, her life will be a living hell.”
“He doesn’t know about the panthers or eagles.”
“They can help us wherever we go.”
“They are fast, hard to hit with a spell.”
“They just might send him back to hell.”
“I don’t think Kronos will be beaten that easily.”
“But, we don’t intend to make it easy peasy.”
“First, we’ll return to earth and get our bearings.”
“Try to find out where Kronos’s Keep is there.”
Back on earth they made an exhaustive search.
No sign of Kronos anywhere on earth.
Could he have gone to an off world planet?
Somehow, Anika felt he wouldn’t plan it.
He has never tried to find out where we were.
She doubted that such a thought would occur.
Then, Kronos struck again.
Bringing a building down on some of them.
Shocked, they felt he must have had help.
Who could it be who would help that whelp?
6 more Wizards dead without warning.
There wasn’t any time for mourning.
More is coming down the road.
It is bound to turn your blood cold.
