and was about to lead her out of the room when Kalindra called after them: "Our daughter should be called Kellina, this is our greatest wish."
One of the priests gave Tanara an amulet and a finger ring. These were intended for the princess when she reached old age and returned to Shandalar.
The amulet showed a woman, a woman with long hair, to the left and right she is flanked by two large birds and a star stood above the woman's head.(A magical amulet that will later play a big role in Kellina's life.)
The ring is a type of seal worn by every female member of the royal family. These seals are different in shape and pattern.
Roland nodded to his wife and then accompanied the young priestess to the throne room with five royal-imperial guard soldiers.
Because behind the throne was the secret tunnel that led under the castle, far beyond the large royal garden.
Outside the castle the battle raged with undiminished strength. A wild, bloody slaughter broke out.
When Roland, the guard officers and the young priestess reached the end of the tunnel, they saw the Elven King waiting. He was ready to take her to the last open portal.
"There you are," he said to Roland. "Our lead is no longer that great and Dragnor's scouts and spies are everywhere."
"I know," said Roland, "but if the light wants it, we can still do it."
Roland gave the order to the guard officers to return to the castle immediately and to protect the royal-imperial family. They obeyed my word.
The Elven King was already on his horse and urged: Roland quickly helped Tanara mount her horse and then swung himself into the saddle.
They rode off as fast as they could. Fortunately, the portal wasn't very far away.
But what none of the three could guess was that their escape was already being observed.
The battle for the castle continued for a while, but the castle army and even the army of angels had no chance against the overwhelming numbers of black magic in the end.
Dragnor`s army was just too big and too strong. When the last soldier was killed outside the castle, Dragnor touched down with his kite. He now had unimpeded access to the interior of the castle.
"Now the time has finally come," he thought to himself, "Now I will free myself from this indolent hostage that torments me so and endangers my power."
Dragnor ran at a quick pace, his soldiers all struggling to keep up with him. He knew exactly where to look, he knew where the room of the ruling King Kalindra was.
His spies had got him the plans of the castle months ago, he knew about every single room, every single passage in this castle .... (but not about the secret tunnel, what luck).
He was just before Queen Kalindra's room when a lone guard officer stood in his way to prevent him from entering the room.
The guard officer was no opponent for him. Dragnor drew his sword (a two-handed sword) and with just one blow split the officer in half. The blood spurted all over the corridor. (iiiiiiiiigitt)
Dragnor was now standing in front of the locked room and slammed the door, which was torn from its hinges.
The guards standing by behind the door were either slain by the great heavy door or fell victim to Dragnor's sword.
Kalindra lay motionless in her bed. She was very weak because she had lost a lot of strength due to the birth.
She had to watch this cruel game Dragnor played with the Guard soldiers. The priests who were still with her were also appalled.
When Dragnor had finished his game, he stood in front of Kalindra's bed and asked her in an icy, dark voice that shivered everyone "Where is the child?"
Kalindra was now so weak that she could only say "Safe" a smile played on her lips and she then lost consciousness.
The dark prince was beside himself with anger, so beside himself that he tore the four priests in the room with his magic or simply broke their necks. No ....., he did not want to go to the unconscious queen, nor to any other member of this hated brood.
He gave instructions to his people to capture all members of the royal family and keep them in a secret place.
Besides Kalindra, there was the ruling Queen Melena and her two-year-old daughter Felicia. Queen Melena's consort, King Talos, had died in one of the last battles against Dragnor.
>> No << he thought >> I am not killing you yet, I still need you for later and it will give me pleasure to torment you until then. I will have fun with you <<
One of his scouts rushed into the room and reported to him, "My darkest man, we have succeeded in locating King Roland. He escaped through a secret passage with the child and is now riding north together with the king of the elves and a priestess , towards the elven forests. "
Dragnor's eyes lit up red.
>> Roland! << screamed in his mind.
The scout continues, "We also managed to find out where they wanted to go."
"Where?" ask Dragnor in an angry voice.
"To a portal that has been hidden from us until now. A portal that doesn't look like everyone else." The scout shivered, because everyone in the room could feel that Dragnor's anger was growing and that he was very fond of it Bringer of bad news killed.
"Where can I find this portal?" he asked now even more angrily. "It's in a cave, in the small mountain range that lies between the realm of the elves and Serra's realm. In a small cave at the northern end of the ......!" The scout had no more opportunity to complete his sentence than Dragnor had already drawn his sword and .......! (Well you already know ..., iiiiiiiigitt)
The dark prince set off. His big black riding dragon was waiting for him in front of the castle.
He was angry, oh yes, really angry because he couldn't kill the child as he had hoped and planned.
He now had to prevent it from escaping him completely, absolutely. His dark rule and his own life were at stake and to protect them he was ready for anything.
King Roland, the king of the elves and the young priestess Tanara with little Kellina in her arms had now reached their destination. The cave was a little above in one of the smaller mountains. A small path led up it. They started running at a fast pace because they knew they didn't have much time left. A very wise priest, highly trained in magic, was already waiting for them in the cave by the portal. Because he had to open the portal in such a way that it led to the other universe (yeah ... the DBZ universe ^ - ^)
Roland and Tanara entered the cave, while the elven king waits outside to keep watch.
It was dark in the cave, only a few torches lit the path that led to the small and strange portal. It wasn't like the other portal.This one was something special, a portal, as far as he was able to find out for himself, that was created once a very, very long time ago.
But from whom and for what purpose he had not been able to find out
Yes, Roland already knew this portal and this cave. He himself had come to Shandalar through this many years ago. In the beginning he was actually a little scientist looking for an adventure. Then he found this portal in his world, which activated itself as if by itself and went through it, driven by sheer curiosity. And that's how it all started.
But enough of these thoughts, it is now more important to bring his little daughter to safety, his little Kellina, who will come back when she grows up and support them in the fight against the dark.
The priest opens the portal with the power, his magic, which he carried.
"My little Kellina," he said. "You will grow up in safety and with the help of Tanara, who has been entrusted to you, you will be trained in magic!"
"I pray to the light that the day of your return will come soon and that your mother and I will be able to take you in our arms."
As soon as Roland had uttered these words, the elven king rushed into the cave and called out to them: "Dragnor, he has found us!"
Tanara trembled and screamed out loud in fear, so loud that little Kellina woke up and screamed along. (^ - ^ ")
The black riding dragon with Dragnor and a few soldiers, also with their dragons, had now landed in front of the cave.
Dragnor heard the shrine of a baby from inside the cave. >> The child << he thought to himself. >> I will have it in a moment and then I am freed and nothing and nobody can then endanger my power. <<
He ran to the cave and stopped in the entrance. He looked down at Roland, the elven king, the priestess with the child in her arms, and the priest at the open portal. (* Sip *)
Roland and the Elven King immediately drew their swords, even if they knew for themselves that they had little chance against him.Dragnor was not only a master at sword fighting, he was also well versed in black magic.
Dragnor slowly drew his sword and walked slowly towards the two of them. His eyes glowed fiery red.
"Give me the child and I will grant you your life," he said with ulterior motives.
But Roland never even dreamed of handing his daughter over to this dirty, mean and whatever else.
Without warning, Dragnor struck. His target was Tanara, but at the same time Roland and the elven king threw themselves in front of the priestess crouching on the ground and parried his attack with their magic swords. (in a world of magic there are also magic swords, clear case ^ - ^)
The elven king now continued his attack alone and held up very well. He too was magically versed. He also used this magic against the dark prince, but the latter conjures his black magic and repulsed these attacks.
