Chapter 11

Rebecca's face contorted with pain as she endured the relentless assault from XziXzi needles piercing her body. Blood dripped from her wounds, staining her pink manner gloves, but she refused to falter. She could hear the agonized cries of the guests, and her heart burned with a fierce determination to protect them.

"I won't let you harm them any longer" Rebecca spat through gritted teeth. "You may revel in chaos and despair, but I will fight for hope and light." Rebecca clenched her fists

XziXzi's laughter filled the hall, echoing off the walls. "Oh, how precious! This Little girl thinks she can defy me. You are nothing, a mere insect in my presence."

The room fell silent as XziXzi's hair clouds dissipated, and she stared at Rebecca with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. "Very well, let's see how long you can hold out. I shall enjoy watching your futile efforts."

Rebecca's breaths came in labored gasps as she tried to recover from her injuries. She knew she couldn't keep up for long, but she had to buy time. Time for Sedaris and Raia to return.

Meanwhile, Sedaris cautiously made his way through the corridors. The air was heavy with an unsettling energy, and he knew he had to be cautious. His fingers trembled as he notched an arrow,

"Okay okay you can do this you can do this" Sedaris said to himself as he came face to face with the serpent, its heads hissing and slithering in a menacing display. Sedaris locked eyes with the hydra like creature, his determination unyielding. Sedaris took a deep breath " this ends here"

With a flick of his wrist, Sedaris let loose the arrow, aiming for one of the serpent's heads. The arrow flew staright piercing through scales and drawing blood. The serpent writhed in pain, its heads snapping and hissing in fury.

Back in the banquet hall, Rebecca as her energy waned but her determination didn't. The guests huddled together, fear etched on their faces. Rabecca was still taking XziXzi's dark attacks and creating a momentary relief for the guests XziXzi stopped and her eyes burned with rage as Rebecca's determination did not falter. But then a dark hole appeared in the ground and a flaming hand appeared to come out from its depth was massive hell troll

Back in the upper floors Sedaris was trying to find a way to kill the serpent "how did raia say i kill this thing again?" Sedaris said as he was shielding himself from fire that three of the heads were spewing but in that moment the floor gave out and both Sedaris and the serpent started to fall through.
