DP Book 1: Chapter 22: The Rage, The Hooded Man, and The Boy


The courtyard was just up ahead, he made it there quickly.  When he arrived a top the hill, The hooded Man was there, sitting on the King’s throne, overlooking the courtyard.  There was one other person there waiting for him as well.  
“FINALLY, YOU’VE COME TO MEET YOUR FATE BROTHER!” JAMES SHOUTED.  “We can finally end this brother.”

The brother jumped down from the overlooking throne, to confront Sam in person.
“Brother, I’m so happy to see you.  Thats probably the first time I have said that.  Isn’t that funny?”  The brother erupted in laughter.  His mouth was so wide, it began to fill with the cold rain.
The Hooded Man rose from his seat, and glided down.  His staff was already clutched in his hands.  “Finish this, my friend.  I don’t have all day.”
The Rage grabbed his mace and approached Sam.  He swung the huge weapon at Sam’s head, but missed entirely.  “You’re faster than before brother, you’ve grown up.  Your 15 years of life has been a short one, but you have learned so much.”  The man concluded and rose his mace.
He sent out more attacks but missing every one of them.  The Rage was slowing down, but kept attacking the boy.  He finally landed a blow on Sam’s shoulder.  The blow separated Sam’s shoulder form its original resting place.  
The boy cried out in agony, the pain was starting to overwhelm him.  He fell to his knees, barely holding on to his sword to keep him from the ground.  
“AH, I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!” CHE-AHH-KO-DEE.”  The Hooded Man shouted it out the mystical phrase, raising James off of the ground.  The rain was pounding James’ face.  “WHAT ARE YOU DOING MASTER, WE HAD A DEAL!
“I don’t make deals with fools!”  The Hooded Man said.
“Sam, listen to me brother.  You have to save me, but you need the Rage inside of me to defeat the Hooded Man. HURRY, I WON’T LAST MUCH LONGER!  LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND EMBRACE THE RAGE!”
Sam accepted his brothers words.  The eyes of the boy lit up the night sky.  Sam started to chant some mysterious words.  “DRI-HAG-ZYE, DRI-HAG-ZYE!”  The chants got louder, and louder.  The boy was starting to transform into something completely different.  His short dark hair was starting to glow the color of the sun, and lengthened dramatically.  He was beginning to grow taller, the tone of his muscles were more defined than before.  His eyes no longer glowed white, they were bright red now.  The boy now stood up, grabbed his sword and walked toward the Hooded Man.  “I’ll kill you!”  The boy now man spoke.
“So you have grown, and you have gotten taller, and your hair has changed, that doesn’t mean you can beat me!”  
The rain continued to pour down on Sam’s face and muscular toned body.  “Lazarius, you are no more!”
“No, this can’t be.  I feel his power still growing, what are you!”
The sorcerer made one last attempt on Sam’s life, waving his staff high in the air.  The sorcerer sent a wave of energy toward the Prince.  The wave of energy ripped Sam’s leather armor off his body, revealing the strange markings on Sam’s chest and back.  The markings looked ancient, and not from his time.
“The Dragonian markings, it can’t be!  I haven’t seen those markings since.  Sam interrupted Lazarius, he stabbed the sorcerer directly in his belly.  When he fell to the ground, his hood was removed from his head.  The old man was sick, he had growths and warts all over his face and neck.
“I guess you now know my identity boy, hahaha.”  The old man started laughing hysterically.  
“Why are you laughing?”
“Have you forgot about my men, I sense that your precious Spartans have been obliterated, and I hope your precious female companion wasn’t there with them.  Or else she would have annihilated as well! Hahaha.  I guess in the end, I still win!”
The Prince just stood there, hoping to himself, that its not too late...
