The Pages of Destiny (The Four Elementals Book 3) by Yajat Sharma (best authors to read TXT) 📕

his eyes and visualized the Sun. When they had taken the Second Page of Destiny outside the Sun’s surface, hanging in space, there was one thing that everyone had forgotten about...

Their spaceship had heated up due to the Sun’s energy by the time they took the Second Page. The Scavenger had already been exhausted from closing down the wormholes.

Due to the time crunch and exhaustion, the Scavenger had left one wormhole open. No one knew that this wormhole could prove to be so useful in the war against Osay.

The Scavenger focused all his energy in his mind, and with a roar, let it out. He raised his hands and, in front of his eyes, a wormhole opened up.

The wormhole linked to the one that was open around the Sun.

Screams from Osay’s soldiers filled the environment.

The Scavenger leapt at the children, bringing them down on the ground, and his FLICK formed a dome around them.

As the light and heat of the Sun, accumulated for days together in the open wormhole, sprayed on Osay’s soldiers, it was too much for them to bear. They dropped their weapons and covered their eyes. From under his armour, the Scavenger took out specially made spectacles. After wearing one, he handed the rest to the children. The spectacles helped the Scavenger and the children to see everything clearly despite the powerful solar light all around.

This was the moment.

The Scavenger pulled out the Lightning Sword, and the sky darkened. “Osay, you always thought you were one step ahead of us. Now let me change your thinking forever.”

The children got up and, together with the Scavenger, wreaked their Elemental Powers upon the enemy.

The Unicorn King’s prayer was heard.

Battle cries and yells all around raised the spirits of the Unicorn King and his allies. Cotton Village was filled with thousands of green figures.

The Greenies had arrived.

The Greenies climbed the compound walls in seconds. The hot oil and the poisoned spikes didn’t seem to hurt them at all.

After landing in the Library compound, Commander Greene shot a huge cannon, blasting the wall apart. The Greenies and the Unicorn King’s army rushed inside.

As the Scavenger and the children dominated the situation, the wormhole started fading away. But it had served its purpose. Due to the massive heat and light from the Sun, Osay – the robot – jerked and collapsed on the ground.

The children appeared next to the Scavenger.

“Thank God, you got what I was hinting at!” James exclaimed.

The Scavenger grinned and nodded. “We will celebrate later. Let’s finish our mission before Osay recovers. I hope, he doesn’t.”

Suddenly, a chariot stopped beside them, and three familiar figures clambered out, rushing towards the Scavenger.

The Scavenger smiled widely on seeing Thomas, Staler and Pyros. There was no time to exchange greetings.

They all marched towards the glass casing, inside which the ‘Book of the Universe’ was lying.

The Scavenger was wrong about Osay. Suddenly, from nowhere, he appeared before the Scavenger and swatted him away with his metal hand. The Scavenger regained his balance with great difficulty.

“You have lost, Osay,” the Scavenger said. “There’s no one to fight on your side.”

“Really?” Osay replied and laughed.

Suddenly, swarms of demons started oozing out from various directions.

Thomas and Staler immediately took position and started shooting arrows at the demons. But they seem to be endless in numbers.

James sent an ice spear flying at Osay, but it just broke apart in pieces. Daniel summoned roots from the ground, which entangled Osay’s legs, but he broke through them quickly.

Archer was sending waves of fire on the demons, burning them to ashes. It seemed that fire was proving useful against the demons.

The Unicorns moved fast, from place to place, skewering demons with their horns.

The Amozaks exhaled fire and attacked the hounds.

The Trolls and Ogres crushed the demons under their feet and leapt to great heights, landing with shockwaves.

The excited Greenies flooded the area and killed any enemy warrior who came in front of them.

But Osay’s army of demons still seemed never-ending.

The Scavenger shouted, looking at James, “The Spice Room! We have to destroy it!”

James recalled the Scavenger’s briefing Scavenger about the Spice Room and immediately realized what he had to do.

James rushed towards Commander Greene and urged him to accompany him along with a few Greenies. He then pressed a button on his FLICK and flew upwards, towards the Spice Room. Commander Greene followed along with a few Greenies.

In the Spice Room, James pointed at the two big machines. “These machines are producing the demons. We need to destroy them,” James said to Commander Greene.

Commander Greene frowned. “But, it’s a bad idea. Isn’t it good that it’s producing demons for us to fight? More demons means more fighting.”

James looked at him and stomped his feet. “Listen, there is no time for this. Just do what I say. You are the only one who can do this task fast. I am rushing back to assist the Scavenger.”

With that, James flew away. Commander Greene grumbled but knew he had no choice. He started to issue instructions to the few Greenies that accompanied him.

When James reached his friends, he was shocked.

Osay and his demons were proving to be too powerful and they were clearly dominating the situation.

Hundreds of demons had surrounded the Scavenger, who was frantically warding them off. There was no way the Scavenger could reach the glass casing. Thomas and Staler were shooting arrow after arrow on the demons, but could not make any dent on their numbers.

Meanwhile, Archer, Daniel and Pyros were fighting Osay – the robot.

With a smack of his hand, the robot sent Archer and Daniel flying away. Pyros ducked just in time.

Immediately, Osay made a superhuman leap and landed right in front of the Scavenger, who was surrounded by the demons.

Osay shouted, “Give up. My demons will never end. You are fighting a losing battle.”

The Scavenger clenched his fists and looked straight into Osay’s face.

Suddenly there was a massive blast. Two huge balls of fire formed a distance away.
