Amaranthine Dawn Of the Supernatural

Part 18

Meanwhile in the entrance of Wakefield Falls fully guarded by the DAWNEGARD. Diana's car approaches as the guards let it approach their gate. The security guard approaches the window and the car window opens and they see Diana inside with a smile.

"Agent Diana? Shouldn't you be at the airport?" asked the guard. "There was a complication, I need to get inside, now!" said Diana who then smiles after saying it. The guard backs off and lets them in. The car rides in and goes close the weapons' tent. Then it stops whereas Peter gets down from the car with Diana. "Five squadrons on east and west, send in the…" Said Peter when Diana interrupts him.

"I am an experienced military Commander; I can do far better than that." said Diana with a smile like always. "Great, at least you can think on your own." replied Peter when he hears noises of fi close to the command post. "Come on." said Peter as Diana follows him. Peter suddenly approaches to see Lynede is being restraint by the guards and are being taken to the command post.

"Stop it, now." said Peter to Diana. "Hey! Stop right there! yells Diana which makes the authorities immediately stop while holding Lynede restraint. "What is going on here?" asked Diana. "This girl was roaming in the woods, we caught her immediately and was bringing her to the command post, like you asked. "I wasn't roaming, I came all the way across yelling! Your friends are in danger." said Lynede.

"Shut up kid." replied Guard. "Release her." whispers Peter to Diana. "Gentleman, you did a really good job, now takeoff her handcuffs and let me take it from here." said Diana. "But…" replied Soldier. "Do it." replied Diana which the soldiers obey and releases her.

"Lynede are you alright?" asked Peter. "I am fine... but your friends won’t... who is this?" asked Lynede. "Long story, now what exactly happened?" asked Peter. "They were caught when scouring through the woods, we need to move, now!" replied Lynede. "She's right, Diana…um… Agent Diana, prepare the forces, we will march on them now." said Peter. "Roger that." said Diana.

Meanwhile at Wolfcre, the prisoners are once more brought before the stage with a axe waiting for their head. "Aww.. s**t, didn't expect I would die like this." said Eve. "You think, if I had headed out alone, I wouldn't be here." cried Jim.

"Stop whining, we will get through this." said Eve. "Get through what? Look at that Axe." said Jim who points out as the executor is eagerly waiting with his sharp Axe. Declan who arrives on the stage too. "Let the cleansing begin! But with whom do we start? Is it the sweet innocent girl?" said Declan. "She's not innocent!" added Jim. "Shut up, you are making things worse." whispers Eve.

"Or is it the whining little devil?" asked Declan as the people chant much louder when Jim is mentioned. "As you wish, we will start with him." said Declan as Jim is brought in front. "Eve! Do something!" yells Jim. "No, you can't!" yells Eve which drives the attention of Declan. "What do you mean no?" asked Declan. "You think the people of Crinos would let you live after an execution like this?" Asked Eve. "Why would the people of Crinos even care if a murder a bunch of kids?" asked Declan. "I, maybe one, but not him." said Eve indicating on Jim. "What?" asked Jim.

"This person right here is a direct descendant of the Crinos King." said Eve. The entire crowd succumbs to fear with the word of the Crinos King, except Declan who begins to laugh. "You... expecting be to believe that this kid is a Crinos, he looks like a weasel." said Declan. "Half-blood sweetheart, Jim right here carries the blood of the Crinos and the blood of humans, he's a…bastard." said Eve. "You're bastard." said Jim.

"Shut up… your majesty, now Declan I presume, what do you want to say now?" asked Eve. Declan looks upon the people after giving a thought. "Well, I was going to just cut out your hands and leave you alive, but now… draw them both to the execution, we will cut off their heads!" yells Declan to which the people chant. "Great, you just killed us both." said Jim.

"I didn't know… I thought it would work." said Eve. "Like Game of thrones? Let me handle this, Hey Declan!" yells Jim. "What is it your majesty?" asked Declan sarcastically. "You guys are wolves, right? You live by honor?" asked Jim. "Yes, you are correct, we do live by honor as all wolves do." said Declan. "Then what's the honor in murdering us this way?" asked Jim. This isn't murder, it's a mercy, if I put you in a trial by combat, my people would devour you." said Declan.

 "But I can choose a champion for fight for me, right?" asked Jim. "Indeed, you can, but who among here will fight for whiny kid!" yells Declan which make the people burst of laughter. "I will fight for him." yells a familiar voice. The crowd becomes silent and make way for the person, it is revealed to be Griffin who had actually arrived all the way from Hospital.

 "I, Griffin, will fight for him and her, and if I win, you must leave, leave away from Wakefield Falls and never return and free my friends." said Griffin. "But freeing us comes first." said Jim. "Shut up." added Eve. "Those are… heavy demands indeed… if you could somehow win them that is but, what if you lose, what do I get out of this?" asked Declan. "This!" said Griffin as he shows the Amaranthine. "My, my, this keeps getting better and better… very well then, Griffin, I accept your challenge, as champion, I will fight you myself." said Declan to which Griffin smiles but then Declan takes out his own Amaranthine attached to his Amulet and wears it which makes the crowd roar and making way for the fight and Griffin's smile wear out. "Come on Griff, you got this." said Jim.

"He definitely doesn't." whispers Eve in worried tone. Griffin draws out his energies and as he becomes supercharged, Declan calls him out to which Griff lunges at him, he punches continuously with much effort as possible but each are dodged by Declan who leaps aside and pulls out his leg, knocking him down. Then instead of using this, Declan backs away and gives another opportunity for Griffin to fight back as he gets up.

Griffin then charges once more and tries to get a hold on him but Declan easily counters and puts him down on the ground again, this time breaking his leg.

Griffin gets up once more time and immediately tries to punch him despite having his leg broken but Declan dodges each attack and starts punching his own which critically injures Griffin as he falls down bleeding. Instead of attacking, Declan approaches closer to him and spits on his face.

This makes Griffin angry, but is unable to retaliate since he is heavily knocked down. "Come on then, Griffin, why don't you get up, I wasn't even trying to get started!" yells Declan to which the crowd burst of laughter.

Griffin tries his best to get up, despite being seriously injured. Seeing this, Declan grabs him by holding his throat and sees him eye to eye. "Why on Earth would the Amaranthine pick such a weak champion?" said Declan. "I… am…not…w….e.." said Griffin. "What was that?" asked Declan. "I am not weak." said Griffin who reaches his mouth close enough to bite Declan's amulet and picks it off, which instantly drains Declan off his strength, and not a split second has passed, bullets start bursting through from all directions which one lucky silver bullet gets shot in Declan's eye.
