Chapter 13

The Monster

I still wasn't in good shape after the fight I had with the Crimson King and his dragon. Low on HP and mentaly drained, but right here right now that didn’t matter. This was a fight I really didn’t have much of a chance avoiding. I flapped backwards, sending a whirlwind of feathers in my wake. Four of her eight claws pushed her up through the wreckage of my bed and the other four slashed at me with fierce intensity. Lucky for me, my shield rings that I made did recharge where my health couldn't. Her claws bounced off the barrier, adding momentum to my trip backwards.

I crashed into my makeup desk, shattering the mirror on its back. “Damn it, seven years bad luck.” I frowned at the shards of reflective glass.

“You won't last long enough to experience any of that.” Oracle raised to full impressive height, two claws on the floor and two on the ceiling.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, you are the big and scary spider robot. I’m shaking in my boots.” I settled on the ground, ready for her next strike.

“You may have managed to survive last time, but this time you won't be so lucky!” She took a menacing step forward.

“Cliché much?” I rolled my eyes. “I mean, if you are going to go with the whole time to die speech, maybe make it your own instead of just using the same old line.” It seemed that I pissed her off because one of her claws went flying at me. I parried her claw with my own, managing to take a step to the side as I did so.

“Will you please be quiet?!” She scrambled across the room, quickly closing the distance between us.

“Don’t think I can. You see I’m a bit of a talker when my energy gets pumping.” I moved to the door and knocked it off the hinges. “I get it now, it was you. You were the one who let the Crimson King capture an Elder Dragon and attack here. You needed a distraction so you could get into the castle.” I took a step into the hallway and readied a spell for when she tried to go through the opening. To my surprise, she didn’t go through the place where the door once was but through the wall a few meters away from it. I jerked my hand to point at where she was. “Dark Lance!” It seemed my aim was a bit off, the lance went a bit wide and instead of hitting her it blasted another hole in the wall to my bedroom. The castle wasn’t having a good day. Oracle came clambering to me, her movements jerky and hard to read. One of her claws darted right for my face. I managed to block the blow but that attack was just a faint, the real attack came from below me. Two of her limbs wrapped around my legs and the rest braced themselves on the walls to either side of her.
