Chapter 24: The Attack

Leo and Ariana entered the fortress through the tunnel. They had followed Rax's map and instructions, which led them to the mine shaft. They had found the entrance, which was hidden by some rocks and bushes. They had moved them aside, and entered the tunnel.

They saw that it was dark and narrow, but also long and deep. They saw some wooden beams and metal rails, which supported the tunnel and marked the way. They saw some carts and tools, which were used by the miners who had worked there. They saw some bones and rats, which were the only signs of life there.

They walked through the tunnel, using their torches and senses. They avoided some traps and guards along the way, which were placed by the mage's forces. They encountered some spikes and pits, which they jumped over or climbed out of. They encountered some soldiers and dogs, which they killed or knocked out.

They managed to overcome them with their skills and teamwork. They used their swords and magic, their wits and courage. They also helped each other out, covering each other's backs.

They reached the heart of the fortress, where they found the Dragon's Eye and the mage.

They saw that it was a large and circular room, with a high ceiling and a low floor. They saw that it was filled with candles and crystals, which lit up the room and amplified the magic. They saw that it was decorated with banners and statues, which showed the mage's symbol and image.

They saw that in the center of the room, there was a pedestal with a glass dome on top of it. They saw that inside the dome, there was a large and round gemstone, which glowed with a bright and pulsing light. They saw that it was the Dragon's Eye, the ancient artifact of great power and mystery.

They also saw that next to the pedestal, there was a man with a cloak and a mask on him. They saw that he had a staff and a ring on him, which were his sources of magic. They saw that he was the mage, the enemy of all living beings.

He looked at them with surprise and anger.

He said to them,

"Who are you? How did you get here?"

Leo said to him,

"We're here to stop you. We're here to destroy the Dragon's Eye."

The mage laughed.

He said to them,

"Stop me? Destroy the Dragon's Eye? You must be joking. You don't have a chance against me. You don't have a clue about what you're dealing with."

Ariana said to him,

"We know exactly what we're dealing with. We know that you're a tyrant who enslaves dragons and humans alike. We know that you're a coward who hides behind your mask and your magic. We know that you're a thief who stole the Dragon's Eye from its rightful owners."

The mage sneered.

He said to them,

"You know nothing, girl. You're just a foolish witch who meddles in things she doesn't understand. You're just a pathetic pawn who follows orders from others."

He then looked at Leo's sword, and said to him,

"And you're just a stupid boy who plays with toys he doesn't deserve. You're just a worthless worm who wields a weapon he can't control."

He then pointed at Leo's sword, and said to them,

"Where did you get that sword? Do you know what it is? Do you know what it can do?"

Leo said to him,

"I got this sword from Atlantis after the Sunblade and Moonblade merged into 1 sword. I know what it is. It's the Starblade. I know what it can do. It can cut through anything, even your Dragon's Eye."

The mage gasped.

He said to them,

"The Starblade? The legendary sword that is a combination of the Sunblade and the Moonblade? How did you find it? How did you activate it?"

Leo said to him,

"I found it by fate. I activated it by will."

The mage shook his head.

He said to them,

"No, no, no. This can't be happening. This can't be true."

He then clenched his fist.

He said to them,

"But it doesn't matter. It doesn't change anything. You still can't defeat me. You still can't destroy the Dragon's Eye."

He then raised his staff.

He said to them,

"I'll show you why."

He then cast a spell at them.

He said to them,

"Die!"


Chapter 25: The Showdown

Leo and Ariana confronted the mage, who revealed himself to be Leo's grandfather. He took off his cloak and mask, and showed them his face. He looked old and young at the same time, with white hair and smooth skin. He had a scar on his cheek, and a gleam in his eye. He had a smile on his lips, and a sneer in his voice.

He said to them,

"Hello, Leo. Hello, Ariana. I'm glad you're here. I've been waiting for you."

Leo looked at him with shock and horror.

He said to him,

"Grandfather? Is that you?"

The mage nodded.

He said to him,

"Yes, Leo. It's me. Your grandfather. "

Leo shook his head.

He said to him,

"No, no, no. You're not my grandfather."

The mage sighed.

He said to him,

"Oh, Leo. Don't be so naive. Don't be so blind. I am your grandfather."

He then said to him,

"But I'm also the mage. I'm also the man who stole the Dragon's Eye. I'm also the man who enslaved the dragons."

Leo felt a surge of anger and hatred.

He said to him,

"You monster! You traitor!"

The mage laughed.

He said to him,

"Call me what you want, Leo. It doesn't matter. It doesn't change anything."

He then said to him,

"You see, Leo, I was corrupted by the Dragon's Eye. It gave me immortality and power, but also madness and evil. It made me want more and more, until nothing was enough. It made me hate everyone and everything, until nothing was left."

He then said to him,

"But then I found out about the Starblade. The legendary sword that would be a combination of the Sunblade and the Moonblade if they ever combined. The sword that can cut through anything, even the Dragon's Eye."

He then pointed at Leo's sword, and said to him,

"And then I found out that you had it. My Grandsons fighting each other, fighting with both the Sunblade and the Moonblade. The blades united, since you were the chosen one, the Starblade went to you."

He then smiled at Leo, and said to him,

"And then I had a plan. A brilliant plan. A perfect plan."

He then said to him,

"I want to use the Starblade to amplify my control over the dragons. To make them stronger and faster, more obedient and loyal. To make them my ultimate weapons of destruction."

He then said to him,

"And then I want to unleash them on the world. To burn it and break it, to kill it and end it. To make it mine and mine alone."

He then said to him,

"And then I want you to join me, Leo. To be my heir and successor, my partner and friend. To rule by my side, as my grandson and king."

He then extended his hand, and said to him,

"What do you say, Leo? Will you join me?"

Leo looked at his hand with disgust and defiance.

He said to him,

"Never! Never in a million years! You're insane! You're evil! You're not my grandfather!"

The mage frowned.

He said to him,

"That's too bad, Leo. That's very sad."

He then withdrew his hand, and clenched his fist.

He said to him,

"Then you leave me no choice, Leo. Then you must die."

He then raised his staff, and cast a spell at Leo.

He said to him,

"Die!"

Leo dodged his spell, using his speed and reflexes.

He then raised his sword, and swung it at the mage.

He said to him,

"No! You die!"

They fought in an epic battle, using both swords and magic.

They exchanged blows and spells, hits and misses, wounds and scars.

They used their skills and power, their wits and courage.

They also used their emotions and wills, their love and hate.

They fought for their lives and goals, their friends and enemies, their pasts and futures.

They fought for a long time, neither of them giving up or backing down.

They fought until they reached the pedestal, where the Dragon's Eye was kept.

They fought until they were both exhausted and injured.

They fought until they were both ready for the final strike.

Leo managed to destroy the Dragon's Eye with his Starblade, freeing the dragons from their enslavement.

He saw an opening in the mage's defense, and took advantage of it.

He thrust his sword into the glass dome, shattering it into pieces.

He then thrust his sword into the gemstone, cracking it into halves.

He then thrust his sword into the pedestal, breaking it into dust.

He destroyed the Dragon's Eye, with one swift and powerful move.

He freed the dragons from their enslavement, with one brave and noble act.

He felt a shockwave of energy and light, as the Dragon's Eye exploded.

He felt a roar of joy and gratitude, as the dragons awakened.

He felt a sense of relief and accomplishment, as he completed his mission.

He smiled and cheered, as he did what no one else could do.

The mage was weakened by this, but he still tried to kill Leo with his last breath.

He saw Leo destroy the Dragon's Eye, and felt a surge of pain and rage.

He felt his power and magic fade away, as the Dragon's Eye vanished.

He felt his control and command disappear, as the dragons rebelled.

He felt his life and hope end, as he failed his plan.

He screamed and cursed, as he lost everything he had.

But he still had one thing left: his hatred for Leo.

He still had one thing left: his desire to kill Leo.

He still had one thing left: his ring on his finger.

He used it to cast one last spell at Leo.

He said to him,

"Die!"

Ariana intervened and saved Leo, but she was fatally wounded by the mage's spell.

She saw the mage cast his spell at Leo, and felt a surge of fear.

She felt that Leo was in danger, and that she had to protect him.

She felt that Leo was her friend, and that she had to protect him.

She felt that she had to do something for him: she had to save him.

She used her wand to cast a shield spell around Leo.

She said to him,

"Leo!"

She blocked the mage's spell from hitting Leo, but she couldn't block it from hitting her.

She took the full force of the mage's spell on her chest, which burned her flesh and broke her bones.

She fell to the ground, bleeding and dying.

She saved Leo from death, but she couldn't save herself from death.

She sacrificed herself for Leo, with one selfless and heroic act.

She felt a shock of pain and darkness, as the mage's spell hit her.

She felt a tear of sadness and regret, as she realized what she had done.

She felt a smile of happiness and peace, as she saw Leo's face.

Leo killed the mage with his sword, avenging his grandfather's crimes. He then held Ariana in his arms, as she died with a smile on her face. He cried and mourned for her.

Brought her to Atlantis and buried her there.
