The Wanderer
Chapter 16
"The Temple"

---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

"I can feel her movements inside of my head about to turn me evil. Don't let her
do it, my precious Kismet. Don't let her do it," Kismet heard the Fairy Queen
say over and over in his head.

Kismet, Diana, Ruby, Stry, Snott, Allie, and Danny were at the entrance to cave
that lead to the Temple of the Fairies' Crystal Door. The rest of the group was
left at the Tomb of the Fairy Queen. They weren't the holders, so they didn't
need to be in danger besides someone have to be there if they fell and Katie
place the dark crystal in making every fairy including the Fairy Queen evil.

The temple was inside the biggest mountain in the Fairy Kingdom that laid on the
border of Fairy Kingdom and King Robert's country. It was in the mountain range
called Destiny that guard Kismet's home from the evils of the east and the
south.

The entrance looked like any other cave, but usually there were fairies guards
protecting it from intruders. It was a sign that Katie got to it first and she
laid inside waiting for them.

"It looks creepy in there. Do we have to go in?" asked Danny.

"Yes, we must," said Kismet.

"Okay. Along I don't get stuck away from you guys I guess I be okay."

"Sure you will. As long as I'm with you nothing will harm you, I promise," said Diana.

"Thanks."

"Anytime."

They enter the cave and soon as they did one of Katie's soldiers was waiting for
them. It was a large orange lizardman with a long tongue.

"I'll stay here and fight this thing. The rest of you go," said Snott.

The rest ran off leaving Snott and the lizardman only to fight. Snott made the
first move. He took his ax out and sliced the lizardman's arm off, but he just
grew other one in the matter of seconds.

"What!" said Snott blindfolded from what the lizardman done.

"Lizards can grew back to there original state," the lizardman replied.

"Great."

Snott only chance was to turn the lizardman into something else. Being a genie
he could, but without the right words he couldn't.

The lizardman took left hand scratched Snott across the chest tearing Snott's
shirt with his longs nails. Then he took right hand and scratched Snott again.
He repeated this rapidly until Snott find the right time to kick the lizardman
back.

Snott shirt was tore to pieces on the ground and his chest was covered with
blood. The lizardman finding Snott helpless did his strongest move. He spat out
his tongue and it wrapped around Snott. Then his started to suck energy out of
him.

"Someone help me," Snott said weakly.

Then he saw his beloved Cleini in front of him.

"The words are inside of you when they've been from the moment I set you free,"
he heard her say. Then she disappeared.

"Power of my heart," Snott begin to say weakly, "Turn this lizardman into a..."

Snott's eyes closed as he fell into a sleep like state before his death.

"Wake up Snott. Open your eyes. Please Snott wake up," he heard Cleini say
weeping into his ear.

"A rabbit," Snott said.

Then a burst of smoke came and the lizardman became orange rabbit making Snott
fall unto the ground where he fell asleep.

(

The rest of them walked suddenly in the temple. The cave slowing turned into a
hallway of the temple and they didn't noticed it until they left the cave
surroundings completely and they also found other of Katie's soldiers, a catman
that was a hairless wearing a soldier uniform waiting for them.

"I'll take this kitty-cat," said Allie.

"Okay," said Kismet.

The rest of the group ran deeper into the temple.

"You're will find that I'm no kitty-cat," said the catman.

"I'm sure you I will," said Allie.

The catman strike first with his claws but Allie dodge, took out her blowgun,
and fired at the catman knocking him against the wall. When he got up Allie
kicked him back down to unconscienceness.

"That was easy," said Allie. Then a horde of kittens attacked her knocking her
to the ground, "Shit! I'm being attacking by death kittens."

Allie knocked some of them off but more keep coming.

(

The rest of the group walked into a small room that was occupied by a woman. Her
blonde hair was tried up in a high ponytail and wore a black leather pants and a
red halter top.

"Nice for you to come Stry," she said.

"You know her," Ruby said.

"Yes and no. She's the slayer," Stry replied.

"A slayer?" asked Danny.

"She slays vampire."

"Oh."

"Now I'm going to slay the almighty Stry," the slayer said as she took out two
stakes for each hand.

"You guys go along. This will only take a few minutes," Stry said. Right after
he finish, the slayer kicked him on the right side of his face, "It started
already?"

Stry took out the daggers of the weather and blocked the stake that came towards
him.

Kismet, Diana, Danny, and Ruby ran out the opposite side door. Ruby looked back
to see the fight, but Diana pulled her away.

Meanwhile, Stry was blocking the stakes the slayer was trying to stab him with.
After a few minutes of this, the knives got stuck in the stake. They struggled a
little, but then the slayer flipped back pulling the stakes out and landing on a
spilt. She did a handstand then pushed off the ground and did a upside-down
flying house kick. Stry was lucky to block the kicks except the last one which
hit him across the face. The slayer took the moment to wrap her legs around Stry
neck and then flipping him over. She took a double-sided stake and stabbed Stry,
but Stry got grabbed her hand right when the stake touch his skin. He used all
him strength to push the stake into the slayer's heart. After the slayer died,
Stry just laid there out of breath.

(

The group approached the deepest room in the temple, the Crystal Door, the
Balance, the Fate of Fairies, but the door was blocked by Nala.

"To enter you must get pass me," she said.

"I'm taking her. I need the pay back," Diana said.

"I'm staying with you," said Danny.

"No, you're safer with Kismet and Ruby."

"I don't think so. Katie is in that room and frankly I'm more scared of her than
her."

"Fine, but don't get in the way. I don't want you to get hurt."

"I promise I won't."

Kismet and Ruby went to go to next room, but Nala stopped them.

"Did you hear what I said? You can't go in there," she said.

"They're going in," said Diana as she punch Nala in the face. That time Kismet
and Ruby ran in the room.

"You're paying for that," said Nala.

"No, you're the one that will be paying."

"For what?"

"Killing me."

"I never kill you. I hardly know you."

"Remember Apollo."

"That annoying boy."

"He was me."

"You're Apollo. Well, you kind of look like him."

"You will soon find out more like him than the looks. I bring his revenge with
me."

She took out the Bow of the Elements and aimed it at Nala.

"Arrow of Water," she said as she fired the water arrow.

"You are him," Nala said soaking wet. Nala took out her claws, "Catstrike."

Diana tried to block, but she it didn't help, Nala scratched the right side of
Diana face badly. That made Diana mad, so Diana kicked Nala in the face. Their
battle seemed the bloodiest of the rest because they fight was intense. Diana
wanted revenge and so did Nala. Danny watch as the two fought, he wished that he
did go with Kismet. The fight end when Nala stabbed her claws into Diana's
stomach. The same place Apollo was stabbed that brought to his death.

"You killed her," said Danny.

"Yeah, so?" Allie replied.

"She was my friend."

"Friendship is so overrated."

"No it's not."

Danny took out the Mace of Strength and got ready to strike.

"You're going to fight me. Ha!" Allie said as she was laughing, "But you're
welcome to try because you caught me in a killing mood today."

"Earthquake," Danny said as he banged the mace to the ground making the ground
shake that knocked Allie down. Then he jumped on top of Allie and started to
punch her like crazy.

"Stop," Diana said breathlessly.

"You're still alive," said Danny in excitement.

"Yes, but you should stop before she's not."

"But she deserves to be dead."

"You're bigger than that."

"Okay."

"Danny, make sure I don't fall asleep."

"Why?"

"I will die if I do."

"Okay."

(

Kismet and Ruby ran into the room where Katie was about to put in the dark
crystal into the keyhole.

"Stop!" Kismet said.

"Why? I have no reason too," she replied as her horns grew out of her head.

"Katie, you must stop this," Ruby said.

"Haven't you heard. Katie's not her no more. It just Tojf Sjhxmob, the demon of
the dark crystal and I will rule this world."

"I won't let you," Kismet said as he pulled out the Sword of the Fairy Queen.

"What can you do that can stop me? That little sword of yours won't do a thing.
My power are more powerful than that of the Fairy Queen. Let me so you. Dark
Sphere."

A dark ball of energy grew in Katie right hand. It grew to the size of orange
when she threw it. It hit Kismet and shocks of electricity ran throughout his
body.

Ruby used her magic to retrieve the ball from Kismet. Then destroying it.

"Katie or whoever you are, you will stop this at once," she said.

"Or what? You going destroy me with elf magic. Yeah right, let that will work.
Do you know how the high-elves became a dying race? Demon like and still do
killing them. But if you don't mind I have a crystal to place in the keyhole."

Katie walked back to this circular pillar and was about to place the dark
crystal into the hole in it, but Kismet blew her away using the magic from the
sword.

"Fine you want to fight, so be it," she said as she got up. Then two demon wings
that look the wings of an angel but was dark red from innocence blood grew out
of her back making her transformation complete.

"No!" said Ruby, "It's completed. She's not my baby no more."

"Don't worry Ruby we will get her daughter back," Kismet said.

"Don't you get it. I am complete. I can never go back to being that brat," Katie
replied.

"Then I guess I have to kill you then."

"Don't! Some where in her is my precious little girl," Ruby said.

"I'm know what I'm doing."

"I hope so."

"Sword of the Fairy Queen give me the strength and courage."

The sword started glowing a bright blue. The light grew up his arm and to his
whole body. Then he put the sword in a thrush position and ran towards Katie.
Katie place her hand out and the sword went through it. Kismet pulled it back
and Katie's hand wasn't hurt.

"What!" Kismet said.

"I have great magically powers, so you can't hurt me," she replied. Then she
made a sword with her powers made out of fire.

Kismet tried again by trying to slice her across the stomach but Katie stop him
with her sword. Then it was Katie's turn, she raised her sword and slashed down
making fire fly out, hitting Kismet in the left arm making it useless.

Katie started to rise from the ground. Her wings expanded and rose up to the
farthest point. Then they started flapping.

"Catch me if you can," she said as she flew out through a hole on the ceiling.

"Oh no, she going to the sky where she most powerful," said Ruby.

"I have to go after her," Kismet replied.

"Try to bring her back to the ground if you can."

"I'll try."

Kismet flew up there the hole following Katie. When he got up into the sky,
Katie was waiting for him. The sky was dark with black, rain clouds and the
thunder was roaring. The perfect atmosphere for the fight.

Katie rose her hand and lighting strike her making her more powerful. With the
other hand she used the lighting to strike Kismet, but the sword of the Fairy
Queen which he was using to block it, soaked it up.

(

"What's that?" said Knows-a-lot pointing to the sky. The Fairy Queen turned him
back to a child and now him, the Fairy Queen, King Daven, Cleini, Kiki, and King
Robert was going to the temple.

"It's Kismet and Katie fighting," the Fairy Queen replied.

"I hope she dies," said King Robert.

"She mustn't. She's a precious fixture in the future of this world. She will
bear a child that will bring peace to all of this."

"Nothing nice can every come out of her."

"Don't talk mean about Katie," said Knows-a-lot.

"I forgot you're still on her side."

"I feel much pain. We need to go in," said the Fairy Queen.

They walked in and found Snott laying on the ground asleep.

"Snott," said Cleini as she ran to her. She sat down beside him and picked him
up in her arms, "By the power in my heart, help me heal my beloved."

Snott wounds healed up and then his eyes opened.

"Cleini, why are you here?" Snott asked, "It's dangerous here."

"I came with the Fairy Queen and King Daven. Good thing I did or you'll be
dead."

"No I won't."

"Cleini stay here with Snott, okay?" the Fairy Queen said.

"As you wish," Cleini replied.

The rest walked unto Allie laying on the floor still trying to get the kittens
off her. Kiki ran to her and changed into a bigger dog scaring the kittens away.
Then she turned back into her normal self.

"Kiki, you're fine," Allie said. Then Kiki said something to Allie, "Funny,
Kiki."

"You two head back to the entrance to the temple where you will find Snott and
Cleini. Stay there," said the Fairy Queen.

"Yes ma'am," replied Allie.

Allie and Kiki walked back to the entrance while the rest walked to the room
where Stry laid fast asleep.

"Sleeping on the job, I see. You'll never change," said King Daven as he push
Stry awake with his foot.

"I need my rest. I haven't have a good night sleep since Hobbit Barrows," Stry
replied.

"Get up, old friend. Go to your friends at the entrance of this temple now."

"Yes, sir."

Stry ran out the room whence he came. The Fairy Queen, King Daven, King Robert,
and Knows-a-lot went the other way to where Danny was trying to keep Diana
alive. King Robert ran to the side of his dying daughter.

"Diana, don't die," he said.

"I'm all right daddy. Danny been doing a good job keeping me awake," Diana said
softly.

"Let me take a look at her," said the Fairy Queen as she kneeled down beside
Diana, "Fairies of the healing powers let me use your healing powers to heal
this girl and her unborn child."

The fairy queen laid her left hand on Diana's forehead and the right onto her
stomach. A light pink grew around them and all of Diana's wounds were healed.

"Is the baby..." Diana started to ask.

"He's fine," the Fairy Queen said.

"It's a boy?"

"Yes, a strong boy that one day rule all of Fuxec and be as great as my
husband."

"Are you sure of that?" King Daven said.

"Of course. Robert, take your daughter and her friend to the rest of their
friends at the entrance."

"Yes, my queen," King Robert replied.

King Robert pick up his daughter and walked with Danny back to the entrance.
King Daven and Knows-a-lot walked up into the Crystal Room, but the Fairy Queen
stood back.

"My love, come on," said King Daven.

"I can't go in there," said the Fairy Queen, "After I placed the grey crystal in
the keyhole, I was forbidden to go back. Only once can someone can place a
crystal in the keyhole. Only the chosen one can go back time and time again"

"I'll stay with you."

"No you must go in."

"But..."

"No buts. I will go to the others. I'm more use there than here."

"Okay, my love, but be careful."

"You're the one that should be careful."

The Fairy Queen walked off back to the entrance while King Daven and Knows-a-lot
walked into the most important room in the temple and the reason the temple was
here.

"King Daven is that you?" Ruby said, "And who's this? Wait this is Knows-a-lot
isn't it."

"It is me."

(

"You're a determined little bastard ain't you. After I finish with you, you
won't be," Katie said.

"Sword of the Fairy Queen gave me the strength to defect this monster," Kismet
said breathing heavily. He was beaten badly and Katie didn't have a scratch on
her.

"How dare you call me a monster! I'm a demon and don't you forget it."

"Whatever you are I'm going to kill you."

Kismet plunged towards Katie, but of course Katie stepped at of the way. Then
she brought her hands together slammed them on him hardly. Kismet fell unto the
mountains and tumbled down unto the forest ground.

"He's dead," Katie said. She started go back to the Crystal Room when she heard
something coming towards her. She turned around and saw Kismet flew towards her.

It was too late as soon as she saw him, the sword of the Fairy Queen was stabbed
through her stomach and was sticking out the other end.

She fell into the hole and all the way done to the top of the keyhole. The sword
went in the hole and her blood dripped in to it.

(

The Fairy Queen was with the others at side the temple when she felt a pain in
her stomach.

"They didn't stop her. Someone get my husband," the Fairy Queen said as she fell
to the ground.

"I'll get him," said Stry as he ran back into the temple.

The Fairy Queen hair turned blood red and had black streaks in it. Her beautiful
white gown turned into a skimpy black, leather mini dress. Her already pale skin
turn sickening whiter and her beautiful butterfly wings turned into wings of
fire.

"What's happening to her?" Danny asked.

"I don't know," replied Diana.

(

"Katie!" Knows-a-lot said as he ran towards her. Ruby was already there crying
over her dead daughter hand.

Then Stry rushed in.

"King Daven it's the Fairy Queen. She's turning," he said.

"But how? The black crystal didn't go in. Wait! The blood of Katie. I need to go
to her," King Daven said. Then he ran to out of the room.

"Ruby are you okay?" Stry asked Ruby as he walked towards her.

"What do you think? My daughter is dead and it's all his fault," Ruby said as
she pointed at Kismet who was standing on the other side of the room.

"I'm sorry Ruby, but I couldn't find any another way," Kismet said.

"I know. You did what you have to do."

"We need to get her off there," said Stry.

Kismet walked up and pulled the sword out of Katie. Then Stry picked up Katie in
his arms.

"She looks like you," Stry said as he pushed back her hair from her face and
then he kissed the girl's forehead.

"We need to take her to the Fairy Queen," said Knows-a-lot.

"Ruby give me your hand," said Kismet.

"Why?" she asked.

"If blood from the demon of the dark crystal can act like the crystal itself,
maybe the blood of the holder of the light crystal can revise it."

"Do it."

Kismet took the sword and stabbed Ruby's right hand with it. Then they placed
her hand over the keyhole and let her blood dripped in it.

(

"My beloved," said King Daven as he saw his wife evil self.

"Now we are the same," she replied.

"What happened to you?"

"I can feel the darkness running through my veins and it's feel wonderfu..."

Then the Fairy Queen turned back to herself. King Daven ran to her and kissed
her.

"Why are you here? What happened?" she said.

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing you couldn't handle, xacu quoimanib liuuc," King
Daven replied.

(

"We need to take her to the Fairy Queen," said Knows-a-lot.

"She's her only hope," said Stry.

"Take her to her," said Ruby just finishing healing her hand.

They walked out of the room. Stry carrying Katie and the others following
behind. As they walked down through the temple, they saw the dead enemies laying
on the ground. First, Nala, then the Slayer, then the catman, and finally the
lizardman. Then they walked out of the temple finding everyone resting. Diana
was propped against the wall and King Robert and Danny watch her making sure she
was okay. Cleini and Snott was under a tree. Snott head was resting in the lap
of Cleini while he was sleeping. Allie was with Kiki playing in the grass. And
King Daven and the Fairy Queen waiting patiently for the others.

When the Fairy Queen saw them, she walked up to them. She saw Katie and order
Stry to place her on the ground.

"Please help her," Ruby said.

"Why wouldn't I," the Fairy Queen replied. She led her hands on Katie's forehead
and closed her eyes. The pink light started to grew around them and Katie's
wounds were being healed. Then she started to grew back into a six year old and
the demon of the dark crystal left her body, but Katie remained a demon.

"There's nothing else I can do," the Fairy Queen said.

"It's okay," said Ruby as she wrapped a blanket around Katie.

"Mommy, it that you," said Katie as she opened her eyes.

"Yes, it's me."

"Katie, are you okay?" asked Knows-a-lot.

"Knows-a-lot, I'm sorry for what I put you through."

"It's okay. I'm just happy you're alive."

(

Six months after the quest was finish, there was a feast in Tojf. The feast was
in honor of Princess Diana who was on that day taking the throne of Fuxec. All
the heroes where there. Stry came with his newly wed bride Ruby and their two
precious children, Katie and Mimir. Diana came with her father who brought
Knows-a-lot along, and her newly born child, Daven. Snott came with his bride of
6 months, Cleini. Allie came with Kiki and Danny came with an ego. Kismet
escorted Queen Sara to the party and King Daven and the Fairy Queen came to
support Queen Sara and Diana in their hour.

"I crown you Queen Diana, ruler of Fuxec, the Land of Shadows and Secrets. Xoh
heij juavc qu becv oct gbucmanib," said Queen Sara as she placed the her crown
on top of Diana's head, "You may rise to greet your subjects, fair queen."

Diana raised up and turn around to see everyone. King Daven came up behind her
and placed the royal cloak on her. Then handed her the Staff of the Kings.

"Obb roab Liuuc Diana. Obb roab Liuuc Diana," the crowd yelled in unison.

Kismet walked up next to her wearing the crown of the prince of the fairies on
top of his head and extended his arm to her. She took it and together they
walked down the stairs and out of the throne room.
