Free The Sea of Valour -The Ocracidia Series 1 by Lottie F Yinka

agree to it. You can never be free of the deathly
prison. No one can!’
    Cezar shook his head, he was
not scared of the deathly prison but he knew it was not his place
to offer Talori to anyone.
    'I'm afraid I cannot offer you
Talori,' he replied; but I agree, that the loser should be
imprisoned forever.
    Kantang’s eyebrows furrowed
into a frown then they widened into a most mysterious and evil
smile.
    'I accept,' he said with a
voice that rang out over a great distance.
    Cezar knew that Kantang would
never keep his promise and realised that Kantang wanted him out of
the way so he could get Talori. If Cezar lost the sword fight,
Kantang would have him imprisoned forever and would still go after
Talori.
    Cezar knew he had to win.
    He got out his sword and a
small buckler magically appeared in his other hand. He smiled, his
amulet never ceased to amaze him. Now he wondered if it could save
him from the dungeons of the deathly prison.
    Cezar knew he was no match for
Kantang but he was going to do his best to save Talori from this
evil monster.
    Moments later, Kantang made the
first move; and ran towards Cezar. Kantang pushed Cezar with his
shield as he struck out at him.

    Cezar had his sword and buckler
poised protecting his face. Using his buckler, he deflected
Kantang's sword keeping well out of Kantang’s range.
    He had the advantage of being
smaller and quicker but Kantang had evil magic on his side.
    Both spared for moments without
succeeding to get at the other; then Kantang took a sudden
aggressive stance and said ‘enough of these games.’
    Cezar realised that Kantang was
going to rush an attack on him.
    He placed his buckler in his
throat area and extended his sword towards Kantang but being so
much smaller than Kantang, Cezar’s thrust landed on Kantang's
exposed leg, slicing it to the core.
    Kantang screamed out in pain;
anger filling his body and his eyes darkening with hate. Kantang
threw his sword and shield to one side, he began speaking spells as
he walked towards Cezar closing him in.
    Cezar felt evil surround him
and he backed away from Kantang. He knew Kantang was now using
magic to fight him and he willed his amulet to do something. To his
surprise, Cezar’s amulet shone a bright light, which formed a
balloon shield all around him.
    Kantang’s spells manifested as
small, grey, pea like objects, which stuck firmly to the balloon
shield. Without warning, the grey objects turned and flew back
towards Kantang sticking firmly to all the parts of his body.
    ‘ No!’ Kantang
screamed as he tried desperately to get the objects off him.
Seconds later, only Kantang’s head was visible amongst the grey,
pea like objects.
    The grey objects bore quickly
into the ground like a massive drilling machine, dragging Kantang
screaming and kicking with them.
    The ground closed up after
Kantang and slowly Kantang’s screams died down. 
    Cezar put away his shield and
buckler and Sereta walked towards him
    ‘ What
happened?’ Cezar asked.
    ‘ Kantang sent
spells to take you to the deathly prison but your amulet protected
you and the spells turned on Kantang instead dragging him down to
the prison where he will remain for eternity.’
    ‘ Yes!’ Cezar
said pumping his fist into the air.
    ‘ Thanks to
you, Talori is free;’ Sereta said smiling widely.
    There was jubilation, clapping,
hugging and singing all around Cezar and he was pleased he had been
able to defeat Kantang but he knew he could not have done it
without his mother’s amulet.
    Cezar realised that he had a
most powerful magic in the red amulet his mother had given.
    He felt like staying behind to
celebrate with the Talori people, but he needed to get on with his
quest. ‘I’ve got to be on my way,’ he said to Sereta.
    'Yes' she replied’ but first we
must see Queen Elena.’

Chapter 15 - On My Way

    Back in the palace, seated on
her throne with a beautiful smile on her face; the queen welcomed
Cezar back into her presence.
    ‘ Is
