5 Chapter 5
{flashback}
Orion was standing still and lookin at someone with tears in his eyes."NO! Master please don't go. There must be other ways to end this."He shouted. But that man didn't even look behind let alone stop. He just kept walking.
[---------------------
Next day, it was storming. The clouds were rumbling. It was dark everywhere. With a beam of light tearing the sky apart came some monsters (wild beasts of unknown origin). They rushed towards Angelina but before they could reach her-
When Angelina blinked and opened her eye she saw them lying on the ground with blood everywhere."Miss Angelina, are you alright?"asked an unknown knight in armor.
"Yes I'm alright but who....are you?"asked Angelina.
"I am Gareth, I'm here to protect you and we need to leave immediately." said Gareth.
[-----------------------
The horses were running with passionate gaits as Gareth, Angelina and Petra were riding them. They were moving towards west.
{quick flashback}
"Leave...what are you talking about?"asked Angelina. "we don't have enough time to talk" he showed a magical hologram as he said "Orion is in danger". "WHAT!! what happened to him?"
Angelina panicked. "Calm down Miss Angelina, he might not be in very good condition but we can still save him if we leave now. I'll explain you everything on the way" he replied. "Okay then, let's go" Angelina agreed."Wait...I'm also coming."Petra said."No Petra it's dangerous" replied Angelina. "But Miss I can't leave you alone...Please let me come." Petra pleaded. They had no time to argue so Angelina agreed with a sigh.

"So, what happened to Orion and where are we going?"asked Angelina.
Gareth said, "We are going to the dark fortress. Far away from Tabera in the west we located a fort which is also the place where those beasts are coming from. We haven't told anyone about that place because it is very dangerous. And mysteriously whoever goes inside the fort disappears entirely from the existence even from people's memories. We didn't want any casualties that's why we have kept that place a secret from everyone. And now we are going there to rescue Orion."
"If that place is that dangerous what is Orion doing there?"asked Angelina.
Gather looked at her with nervous eyes and replied," He told me he was sensing something...he said that he was sensing an attack. And when he used his powers to see some glimpses of future he saw a very powerful monster of the dark fortress in Tabera. He wanted to prevent that destruction so he made the first move and rushed to destroy that monster before he could do something. But...But it has been three days and he still isn't back. That had me a little worried, I mean I know he should be alright but I just wanted to check on him."
"He hasn't returned for three days!!I hope he's alright."said Angelina. She added," Not that I don't want to go but why did you bring me with you?"
"Oh yeah about that, Orion asked me to promise that I would protect you no matter what in his absence before he left. And I thought for that I should be staying close." replied Gather.
"Protect me...why?"Angelina was confused.
"I don't kno- Oh I didn't realize we're almost there." said Gather.
Angelina looked at a huge fortress. The atmosphere became dark, it started storming as they approached the fortress. The negative aura could be felt from afar.
"Miss Angelina, we should keep some distance from the fort. Better to make a camp here and-" before he could finish they hear a explosion."What was that...c-could that be Orion? "asked Angelina. "Yes, it could be him...Miss, you wait here while I go check" Gather left as he said that but before leaving he created a magical barrier around her for her protection.
Gather was going deep in the fortress. His guard was up but he was a little confused, he didn't know what was happening. Even though he reached deep enough he wasn't attacked at all. He kept moving inside as he noticed the craters, there were deep and large craters, structures brought to ruins and blood everywhere. It was clear that a very bloody battle had taken place there and it had to be none other than Orion.
