To Bring down a God. 9

Together now the wolves and the dragon, and the angel made their way swiftly to the pyramid. Three sentries walked the grounds around the pyramid. Jayce tapped his pin and became invisible. He then swooped down and grabbed one, covering his mouth. He flew him up high and dropped him in a nearby lake so far away that there was no way he could make it back in less then a day. Blaze as a dragon crept slowly up to the next and startled him. Holding him in place, he sent out his noxious breath and gassed him to knock him out. One left. Jandar summoned his staff and slowly walked toward the sentry. He thought about putting him out with a sleep spell, but instead he cracked him in the head with his staff. From afar they saw the pyramid. It wasn't that tall, and they could could see that it was flat at the top. A large statue stood at one end. It was a huge man gripping the structure. Its head, A bats head reached the top. The statue was of a black stone with glowing eyes and a open mouth. That was were the sacrifices were made. You could also see the pyramid was painted blood red. And from the smell you could tell it was painted with real blood, the blood of the sacrifices and anyone caught trespassing. The closer they got the worse it smelled the flies and insects were terrible. Rage and Blaze flamed them as needed. There were many floors in the structure, Torches glowed in the windows to mark each floor. There were few animal noises about,they must fear this place and the death within. All together they moved to the treeline next to the building. There Jandar told them the plan.
"Jayce, I want you to become invisible and find the children." He said. "Stay with them until I tell you to bring them. I'll make your pin stronger so Ono can go with you. Stay close, it will only work within six to eight feet."
Jayce tapped his pin and disappeared, then he wrapped his arms around Ono and took off. The sound of his huge wings flapping and the wind it made pushed them back a bit.
"Rage." Jandar asked. "What does your senses tell you?"
" I can tell you this." Rage said quietly. "There's no more then twenty five people in there. I can smell them all. And something very evil. Something hungry."
" That would be Cressca." Jandar told them. " Waiting to be fed."
" Then we have to fight a God?" Blaze asked. " To save the eggs." Rage looked at Blaze.
"Yes. So how can we do less for these children. I'd fight a whole world to save Tomar's children." Blaze felt Tomar's love for his children. There children now. He knew he had to get these little ones safely home.
" So how do you want to do?" Rage asked.
" We go in the front with a lot of noise to bring them all out." Jandar explained. " Then Jayce and my brother can get the children free."
Rage smiled. He still had a lot of anger in him. It was time to let it out, time for him to rage.
" Are you ready?" He asked the dragons.
"Ready." They said together.

In the middle of the pyramid,a hooded man knelt at a morbid altar. It was to Cressca the Mad. The altar was made of the bones of Cressca's sacrifices. Femurs, arm bones ,ribs and all. The top was a ring of skulls. On the altar now were several small animals. A small something to hold him until the real sacrifice's began. Cressca liked young life, innocent life. Children pleased him most. Around the top of the altar sat a ring of skulls which glowed when he communicated with his followers.
{THE MOON IS FULL TONIGHT. YOU WILL GIVE ME MY DO.} It said. { AND I WANT TWO OF YOU ALSO.}
"Yes my lord." Joric the hood one said.
{ DO NOT FORGET TO PLACE MY MARK ON THEM. I CAN NOT CLAIM THEM WITHOUT IT}
" I will do as you say." Joric stayed on his knees out of respect for his god.
{I WARN YOU. BEWARE THE WOLVES AND THE RED. THEY WILL TRY AND STOP YOU.} " Give me your power my lord, to do your bidding." Joric pleaded.
{I HAVE GIVING YOU POWER. POWER OVER THE MINDS OF YOUR FOLLOWERS AND MY SACRIFICES. USE IT TO GET ME MORE. I'LL GIVE YOU MORE AFTER YOU SERVE ME.}
