Warrior of the Way Chapter 189: The Warrior's Blade
"Renny!" Pux called out to her, but it was too late; she had already crossed over the boulders and stood in the middle of the dark faerie circle. As soon as both feet had touched the concrete within the circle, she felt the surge of power twist around her, jerking her spine straight as she became locked into place. Panic gripped her as she struggled to free herself, straining to move an arm, a leg, even a finger, but nothing obeyed her will. She glared at the dark elf as power coiled about her, licking at her flesh and scalding her. Pux stood at the edge of the circle, his arms extended toward her, but he also was frozen in place, trapped by the dark elf's power. Glancing around the best she could, she noticed the other two gnomes were gone. Where they went, she had no idea.Behind Aradhon, she heard a door open, and then watched as dark elves and gargoyles led several humans into the room, each bound and gagged. The humans' eyes seemed distant, almost vacant as they were led to form

Trace held Giselle in his arms, blood seeping from the wound in her stomach, the blade still protruding. He was unsure whether he should pull the knife out or not, not sure if the blood would gush or not. Finally, he chose to pull the blade out and wrap as much of her shirt around the wound as possible to try and stench the blood flow. This was not a video game, and Trace was lost as to what to do. Tears flowed from his cheeks, his shaggy hair dropping in his face as he leaned over Giselle, doing his best to whisper words of encouragement, begging her to hang on and not leave him.The basement then filled with Renny's scream, yanking his attention to the dark circle of large stones in the middle of the room. He swiped at his tears with the back of his arm as he stared at Renny, her body wrapped in dark coils of what appeared to Trace as lightning streaks sizzling around her body. Her head snapped back, and she screamed at the ceiling, her body one giant spasm of pain as it jerked and s

Renny felt her entire body shake, twisting in small jerky motions as she stood, locked in place. She noticed when Trace and his girlfriend entered the basement, witnessed Aradhon thrust a knife into the woman's stomach and Trace catch her before she hit the ground, watched as the woman's tongue shot from her mouth, stretching to latch onto one of the victims around the dark faerie circle, and still, Renny remained frozen, agony coursing through every nerve-ending in her body.As the dark elves and the gargoyles turned to fight Trace and the woman, Renny felt herself slipping in between worlds, the concrete walls and floor fading, replaced by a grassy plain and the bluest sky. She heard birds chirping in the distance as a soft breeze blew around her, and yet, the magical coils still held her bound in place, scorching her as she stood frozen. Another scream sounded in the distance, another woman in torment. Renny searched for her and could have sworn she saw a young woman off in the dist

"No!" Trace screamed, spinning away from the dark elf who charged him to block Halafarin from reaching Giselle. The elf's sword came down, swinging toward the aswang's neck, but Trace shoved her out of the way as he ducked under the swing. Turning, he kicked out at the elf, catching Halafarin in the back of the leg, sending him tumbling forward as Trace hit the concrete floor, the air rushing from his lungs. He wasn't sure what shocked him more; that he did it or that the move worked.Another elf entered the room followed by Kree as a jingle of bells sounded, and a small girl floated in the air, slashing a dagger at the nearest gargoyle. Giselle ignored them all as she turned back to the victims draped over the obsidian boulders, opening her mouth and stabbing at the next body, this time a woman of middle years and a frail structure.Halafarin was quick to get back on his feet, but Trace stood, blocking the elf from reaching Giselle as he stood in front of her, allowing her to finish t

Rhychard rushed into the basement, the Guardian Sword held protectively in front of him. Halafarin was right behind him, followed by Kree, Famallumi, and Fitz. As soon as the Warrior entered the room, he heard the familiar jingle of bells as Tryna popped into the room, dagger ready for battle. The first thing he saw when he entered the basement was Renny standing in a ring of black stones, wrapped in what appeared to be coils of electricity, her body jerking in shattering spasms. Her mouth was open in a scream that seemed silenced. Pux, the gnome who promised to protect her, appeared frozen in motion just outside the circle and neither of the other gnomes were visible. Trace stood facing a dark elf, dagger in hand, ready for battle, while a woman, which Rhychard assumed was Giselle, sucked the blood from a dark elf with her elongated tongue.Rhychard moved to reach Renny, calling out her name, when one of the dark elves attacked, his sword arcing through the air for Rhychard's head.

The white lights exploded in front of her, driving the dark elf back. Then she saw the two gnomes, who had accompanied her from the hospital, leap from her shoulders, bursts of white light exploding from their fingertips as they seemed to fly through the air and land on the elf's chest. She watched as one of the gnomes dropped to the charcoal ground beneath them, sinking out of sight into the blackened earth. The other gnome continued to explode white bursts of light in front of the elf's face, causing him to shield his eyes as he tumbled backward.However, he didn't get far as the ground under him seemed to swallow him. Renny stood there, shocked as he began to vanish from sight. He jerked his arms downward to try and stop his downward motion, but the ground swallowed his arms as well. The gnome that had disappeared in the ground first popped back out and started to use his magic on the dirt around the dark elf, swirling it into a hard morass of darkness until the elf couldn't move a

Rhychard stared in awe as Renny lifted Aradhon from the floor as if the dark elf was a little girl's doll. The gnomes leaped from her shoulders, each running after either Pux or Fitz, waving their arms and screaming something Rhychard couldn't make out. The way she seemed right then, he wasn't sure if she would kill Aradhon or not. "Renny?" He took a step toward her, his arms at his side, gripping the Guardian Sword tightly. "Renny, are you okay?" He took a couple of more steps toward her, Renny his only focus at the moment.Aradhon clawed at his throat as if there were actual hands strangling him and his feet kicked back and forth, no longer touching the ground. Everyone just stood around, watching. Famallumi dropped his illusion of a flaming forest, and Trace stood, staring, dumbfounded. Even Halafarin forgot about his quest to send the aswang back to the Nether. The gnomes took up positions at each directional point around the faerie circle, their hands out as they watched Renny as

Tansy stood on one side of the bed, while Wanda and Jayden stood on the other. Laci's mother had left, knowing nothing of what they said next would make any sense to her. "What are you talking about?" Tansy asked.The nurses had restitched Laci's wound, unsure how the stitches were ripped out in the first place, this time adding a bandage on top of the stitches to keep Laci from toying with them. She had then sent her sister to get the other two witches, adamant that something wrong had happened to Rose. Jayden thought she was crazy, but Laci didn't shut up until Jayden went to get them."I saw Rose," Laci said. "Don't ask me how or even where, but I saw her. I saw Renny as well. Both were in this grassy field with cords of magical power wrapped around them, hurting them. Renny's was black, and Rose's was red, but they seemed to be holding them in place, connecting them to something. I went to help Rose, but some…creature…appeared, monstrous and ugly, from behind Rose. He said he was c

Warrior of the Way Chapter 263: Summerlands
While their mother piddled in the kitchen fixing them a plate of fajitas, the Valentine sisters sat on the living room sofa, legs folded under them. Maria Valentine put most of the house back in order after Baltabek's attack, but the destruction remained obvious to Laci. She held tight to her sister ever since the Summerlands, scared to let her go. Jayden, of course, fussed at her to stop being a mother hen.Once everyone arrived back at Rhychard's Thinking Rock, a place Renny decided would cause the least amount of sightseers, the witches and Famallumi returned to the Murky Cauldron while Rhychard placed a still-weak Jayden in the back of Laci's car. The eldest Valentine wasted no time or words as she headed straight for home."I almost lost you," Laci said. "I don't know what I would have done if that happened.""Probably moved into my room since it's the biggest," Jayden said with a shrug."That's not even funny," Laci snapped, shoving Jayden's hand away from her in disgust.Jayden
Warrior of the Way Chapter 262: Summerlands
Rhychard wasn't sure what he hit, but he found himself spinning backward, the Guardian Sword leaving his hand as he hit the ground with a hard thud, the air whooshing out of his lungs. Scrambling to his feet, a pain tugging at the back of his head from where he hit the ground, the first thing he noticed was Laci sprawled on top of Kree. Renny! He jerked his attention around until he saw her still gripping Jayden's arm as both women lay stretched out on the grass. However, he didn't see the wall he ran into, knocking him back on his ass. Another glance around, and he noticed the salt circle and the three witches sitting on the ground, eyes closed as they chanted. An older man he didn't recognize stood behind Wanda, his face a mask of admiration.A groan alerted Rhychard to Baltabek stirring, and Rhychard lunged for his sword. The demon moved faster, however, and shot a burst of his demonic power at the Warrior, knocking him back against the invisible barrier, the air he just managed to
Warrior of the Way Chapter 261: Summerlands
Rhychard heard screams, but he couldn't tell whose or where they originated. They might have even been his for all he knew. Pieces of the broken table jabbed him in his back and legs, and he felt blood making a trail down his side. Groaning, he tried to sit up. He must get up. Renny needed his protection as did his parents.:Warrior, Baltabek is heading to your home,: Kree sent. Rhychard could hear the elven hound moving toward him through their connection. :He hid among the woods along the creek.:"Rhychard!" Renny shouted, and then he felt her hands on his arms along with someone else's on his other side.:Well, he knows how to make an entrance.: Rhychard sent.He could hear shouts of panic coming from the parking lot and other apartments, people screaming at the sudden explosion.Glancing up, he noticed the other set of hands helping him to his feet belonged to his father. His mother stood by the sofa, her face pinched with concern, and Tryna picked herself up off the floor from whe
Warrior of the Way Chapter 260: Summerlands
Tansy walked over to where Alex's backpack lay on the ground from where the gnome dropped it when they first entered the Summerlands, pulling out the container of salt that rolled halfway out. As she stood, she couldn't take her gaze off the dark pack, remembering its owner and how far he came since walking into the Murky Cauldron that first day. Her heart twisted, and she did her best to keep the tears at bay. She didn't know how much time they had, so she needed to make sure she completed the barrier spell before Renny arrived with Baltabek.Kayla and Wanda sat off to the side, Kayla with her arms wrapped around her knees as she stared at the last spot she saw Alex, and Wanda absorbing her surroundings. Since the demons had been cast out of the Summerlands, the dank grayish color slowly faded away, replaced once more by the lush greens and vibrant colors of the flowers that filled the Land of the Dead. They had even seen the return of some of those who had already passed on from the

"Mom! Dad. What are you doing here?" Rhychard just stood there, staring. He didn't need this right now."Your father thought I was crazy," Catherine Bartlett said. "He even made sure I didn't have any hidden wine bottles anywhere. Empty wine bottles, that is. I had to drag him here to see for himself.""You're alive," Rhychard's father said as he stood there and stared at Renny, his brows bunched in disbelief. "How is this even possible?"Rhychard sighed. "I've discovered just about anything is possible these days.""Hello, Mr. Bartlett," Renny said as she casually closed her purse, hiding the gnomes from sight for now. Catherine didn't handle them well last time, and Renny didn't know how Rhychard's father would react. "I'm sorry we didn't come over and tell you. We've just been…well, we've had our hands full."James Bartlett swooped in, wrapping his arms around Renny and giving her the tightest bear hug she ever had. "I can imagine you have," he told her, his voice filled with enthus
Warrior of the Way Chapter 258: Summerlands
Rhychard watched as Renny gathered up the other Warriors and returned them to the Guardian Sword, only to reappear a moment later with Pux on her shoulder. Laci paced the entire time until Renny returned, eager to be on her way to protecting her sister. With the bridges gone, she had no other way back to the Land Above than Renny. None of them did, actually. Rhychard ran a hand over his long, dark hair, worried about what they would find when they arrived in the Valentine household, concerned for his brother, just as Laci showed concern for her sister.Tansy still stood off to the side, holding a sobbing Kayla and a shaking Wanda. Both witches shifted back to normal once the demons left them, but still wore the wear and tear from the possession. Rhychard hoped they would continue to heal with time, at least physically. He highly doubted Kayla would heal emotionally anytime soon considering her hands snapped Alex's neck even though the demon controlled her. That would be a heavy weight
Warrior of the Way Chapter 257: Summerlands
Karl stood there, still not sure what he should be doing or even what was actually happening. He saw what those demons did to downtown. He couldn't possibly stop one if it showed up now and took over Jayden's body. Glancing over at Famallumi, he wondered just how much power the elves possessed. Gormec seemed to always have his giant hammer nearby, and while Karl had seen its power before, was it enough to stop the demons? There were only five of them against a demon like the ones who killed a witch and almost defeated his brother, the Warrior. Karl didn't particularly care for his odds."How do you feel?" he asked Jayden, his hands over his chest."I'd feel better if you'd stop staring at me like I'm about to go off my meds," Jayden snapped."How about I go and fix us all some lemonade?" Jayden's mother suggested. "It'll give us something to do while we wait for the others.""Do we even know they're going to be here?" Gormec asked, leaning on the handle of his hammer. "It's been longer
Warrior of the Way Chapter 256: Summerlands
The witches continued to shout their chant, their power strengthened with their success. Baltabek sent a blast toward them, but Rhychard blocked it and hurled the power at the demon's feet, the ground exploding and shoving Baltabek up and backward into the air. The other Warriors quickly pressed their attack while the demon lay on the ground.Kayla let out a wail, slicing the air, and dropped to her knees. The demon inside of her wasn't so easily taken, however. With clenched fists, he shoved his power at the witches, doing his best to stop their chanting. Rhychard caught one of the bolts before it struck Tansy, but the next slipped past him and struck Laci in the chest, somersaulting her backward to land on the ground in a heap.Kree leaped up on his back paws, spinning in midair before racing over to the fallen witch. Rhychard could hear her moan and breathed a sigh of relief that she still lived. :Is she okay?: he asked Kree.Kree leaned down, pressing his muzzle against Laci's sho
Warrior of the Way Chapter 255: Summerlands
Rhychard blocked another blast, sending it off to the side to explode into the ground. The gnomes fought from inside the ground, churning up the soil the demons stood upon and causing them to slip and lose their balance. Kree darted in all directions, drawing the demons' fire while he attempted to get close enough to bite one of them. The witches sent their power at the demons, Rose from behind and the others in front, doing their best to keep Baltabek and the others from focusing on any one person. They all did their best to bide Renny time to bring the other Warriors out of the sword, but Rhychard wasn't sure how much longer they could keep it up.The demons who possessed the witches spun, one sending a bolt of power at Rhychard's head and the other one sending one at his feet. He swung his sword, blocking the bolt to his head, but missing the one aimed at his feet. The magic snatched at his ankles, spinning him around and dragging him to the ground. His sword arm hit the ground, his
