Chapter Eleven of Doom

The eleventh chapter of Eternal Destiny

CHAPTER ELEVEN OF DOOM
Rune picked up one of the snakes and threw it at Garfield. The snake bit Garfield in the nose, only to get blown off by a burst of wind from his nostrils.

"Not cool!" the snake said.

Trachius slammed his arm into Rune's chest. Rune flew over  the side and landed on the S. S. Noatak. Where he hit the boat, a small crack appeared in the side, from which a small stream of water slowly entered the boat.

"You broke my boat! Pigeons!" Rune shouted before a group of pigeons appeared from the ring and carried him up onto Trachius's boat.

"Pigeons, clever," Trachius said. "The last person I saw using that ring used mostly wolves and horses for fights, but taking advantage of a weaker creature's ability to fly? Not bad."

Rune landed on the boat with his knees bent in what looked like a horse stance and his arms covering his body from a distance. He looked at Trachius with a grin. "Now you don't stand a chance."

Trachius laughed. "Even if you beat me, your boat is in no condition to go all the way to the nearest land. Not that you could beat me, either way."

"Except..." Rune said. "Now I know how I can beat you." He stomped on Trachius's foot as hard as he could.

"You insolent little-" Trachius aimed to smash him, but Rune jumped out of the way right before his fist connected. All Trachius did was break a hole in the deck of his boat.

Garfield charged into Rune's side. He winced in pain - his sleeve definitely looked redder than it had been before. "Here, kitty, kitty," Rune said before jumping again.

One of Trachius's men grabbed Rune mid-jump and held him up for Garfield to get. Rune suddenly wished he had Anoichtó to get him out of Garfield's path.

"Hey... is that pasta I smell?" Rune lied. "Trachius, is it coming from your pocket?"

"Nice try," Trachius said. "Garfield can smell it himself. A Nemean lion, even a hybrid of one, has a sense of smell far stronger than that of a human's."

"Uhh... Hyberborean giant! Giant wolf! Canadian!"

"Please, you'd only be killing all of us if you tried summoning a Canadian," Trachius said sarcastically.

"Hekatonkheire!" Rune shouted without listening. "Pegasus! Drakon!"

Garfield jumped onto Rune and the man holding him and opened his mouth.
