Holias led the way over the ridge and stopped his teragrade. He pointed down into the valley that led to an opening in Death Mountain. A legion of moblins had already taken position. “Agmaraa is well aware of our coming."
"When are the evil ones aren't?" Zoe asked sardonically. "Is there any way around?"
"Not without losing many hours. And there is no guarantee that those entrances are not guarded as well."
"They probably are. Well, we'll have to go through them." Zoe urged her teragrade down the ridge.
Holias followed her lead, shocked at her allowing the teragrade free reign. But that only lasted long enough for her to draw her sword. He quickly drew his; it wasn't wise to chase a legion of moblins without a weapon.
Zoe urged the teragrade straight through the middle of the moblin horde, zapping them left and right. Holias gaped as he hewed down the moblins. The Hyrueliana did not even have to touch the moblins with her Elvenblade sword to send the evil enchantment back to its source. She commanded a sword of white fire.
In a short time, the legion of moblins was no more. Holias reached Zoe's side at the other end of the valley. "Surely, the gods have blessed you."
"I hope so, since it's the gods' fault that I'm here," she answered cryptically.
The teragrades stopped in front of the cave and reared. “They will go no further.” Holias turned his aside. It calmed down to allow him to slide off. Zoe did the same. “Hopefully they have gained us enough time.”
