Transcripts

chapter 18 Bahamut

by the time Kendra reached the barn a

pre-dawn gray dominated the Eastern

Horizon her journey from the pond had

been uneventful not a drop had spilled

from the silver bull she went around to

The Little Door Seth had kicked open and

ducked inside

the Titanic cow stood munching hay from

The Loft every time Kendra saviola she

marveled Anew at her enormity the cow's

udder was bloated nearly as badly as the

first time they had milked her Kendra

had the tears now she needed milk and

blood since the fairy queen had been

communicating mentally Kendra trusted

her first impressions the milk would

have to be violas and the blood her own

the cows probably both to be safe maybe

both were required but first the milk

Kendra set the silver bowl in a

protected corner and retrieved one of

the ladders she intended to steal only a

few squirts who has no time for a proper

milking Kendra had never tried to

collect Viola's milk she and Seth had

simply been relieving pressure for the

cow and letting it spill all over the

floor there were plenty of barrels but

trying to dump a barrel into the little

silver bowl seemed tricky and

considering that she would be sliding

down a teat to get the milk out it

seemed like it would be hard to avoid

falling on the barrel herself

she located a large pie tin the kind

Dale used to leave milk around the yard

perfect small enough to dodge but big

enough to catch all the milk she would

need she positioned the tin under the

teat trying to estimate where the milk

would squirt Kendra climbed the ladder

and jumped embracing the fleshy teat

milk gushed to the floor only a little

splashed into the tin she adjusted the

tin climbed the ladder and tried again

this time it was a direct hit filling

the tin almost to the brim and she even

managed to keep her feet on the landing

Kendra brought the tin over to the

silver bowl she poured the milk until

the bowl was three quarters of the way

full only blood remained Viola mood

thunderously apparently upset at having

her milking abruptly halted right after

it began

here gonna move louder than that Kendra

muttered under her breath how much blood

would she need the fairy queen had not

specified quantities Kendra went up to

the closets looking for tools she ended

up with a weed Digger and a pie tin

getting enough blood to pour from a pie

tin into the bowl would be disgusting

but she was scared that if she tried to

put blood from the source directly into

the bowl she would end up spilling

everything

Viola Kendra called I don't know if you

can understand me I need some of your

blood in order to save Fablehaven This

Might Sting a little so try to be brave

the cow gave no sign of comprehension

Kendra turned to the teach she had been

milking it was the one area not

protected by fur so she figured it would

be the best place to harvest some blood

she climbed the ladder only a couple of

steps she wanted to stab the teat low so

it would drip if she had found a knife

she could have tried to make a cut the

only thing sharp about the weed Digger

were the points in the end so she would

have to go with a puncture wound

up close as she contemplated stabbing it

the pink teeth looked alien she needed

to stab hard on an animal this big the

skin would be pretty thick she told

herself that it would just feel like a

thorn to the enormous cow but would she

want somebody grabbing a thorn into her

the cow would probably get upset Kendra

raised the wig Digger holding the pie

tin in the other hand sorry Viola she

yelled plunging the weed Digger into the

spongy flesh the tool sank almost to the

handle and Viola made a terrified Bellow

the heavy teats swung into Kendra

slamming her off the ladder she kept

hold of the weed Digger wrenching it

free of the wound as she fell the latter

clattered to the floor beside her Viola

sidestepped and tossed her head

bellowing again the barn Shook and

Kendra heard the timber splitting the

roof shuddered the walls swayed and

cracked Kendra covered her head gigantic

Hooves thumped against the floor and

Viola let out a long planetive moo then

the cow settled down

Kendra looked up Dustin Haye floated

down from above blood trickled down the

teat already dripping from the tip since

Viola had calmed down and the blood was

flowing freely Kendra cast aside the pie

tin and retrieved the silver bull

standing under the teeth she started

catching drops of blood she had toured a

cave with her family once and the site

reminded her of water dripping from a

stalactite

soon the mixture in the bowl turned from

whitish to Pink the flow of blood slowed

the lower side and tip of the teeth were

stained red Kendra supposed it was

enough

she went and sat by the little door now

for her blood maybe she should just try

the cow blood and see if that worked no

haste was essential how would she get

the blood out no way was she using the

weed Digger unless she could sterilize

it

leaving the bowl she hunted through the

closets again she noticed a safety pin

on a pair of coveralls she unpinned it

and ran back to the Bowl holding her

hand over the bowl she hesitated Kendra

had always hated needles the idea of

being fully aware that something was

about to hurt but having to endure it

calmly but today was not the day to be

squeamish

gritting her teeth she stuck her thumb

with the pin and then squeezed two drops

of blood into the mixture that would

have to do Kendra looked as a pie tin

she should probably drink some of the

milk herself since a new day was

beginning she took a sip then she

realized that her family would need milk

as well when she found them there had

been bottled water in one of the closets

Kendra hurried to the closet selected a

bottle unscrewed the cap dumped the

contents and filled it with milk from

the pie tin the bottle barely fit in her

pocket

Kendra retrieved the small silver bull

swirling the solution a bit she exited

the barn pre-dawn colors streaked The

Horizon Sunrise was approaching now what

there were no fairies in sight when the

fairy queen had given instructions

Kendra had felt no doubt that the

handmaidens she referred to were the

fairies she was supposed to make a

potion for them that would somehow get

them to help her what would it do Kendra

realized that she had no idea what could

it do when their affection then what

lacking other options she had to trust

the reassurances she had felt when the

fairy queen spoke it to her mind

first she needed to find fairies she

wandered the garden there was one clad

in orange and black with matching

butterfly wings hey fairy I have

something for you she cried the fairy

darted over to her looked at the bull

and started chirping in a squeaky voice

and zoomed away

Kendra roamed until she found another

fairy and ended up with an identical

reaction the fairy acted excited and

then flew away

soon multiple ferries were flying up to

Kendra peeking in the bowl and then

soaring off they were apparently

Spreading the News Kendra ended up

beside the metal statue of Dale she set

the bowl on the ground and backed away

in case her proximity might discourage

the fairies the morning grew brighter

before long dozens of fairies hovered

around the bowl they were no longer

showing up only to zip away a crowd was

forming occasionally one would fly right

up to the bowl and peer inside one even

laid a tiny hand on the rim but none

took a drink most stayed several feet

away

the crowd swell to more than a hundred

still they would not drink Kendra tried

to be patient she did not want to

frighten them away

suddenly The Sound Of A Mighty Wind

interrupted the quiet morning Kendra

fell no Breeze but she could hear the

shrieking Gale in the distance as the

sound of the wind tapered off a

ferocious Roar echoed across the yard

the fairies scattered It could only mean

one thing wait please you have to drink

this your queen had me made it for you

the ferry started around in confusion

hurry time is running out whether it was

her words or simply that they were no

longer startled the fairies gathered

around the bull again try it Kendra said

have a taste

none of the fairies took her up on her

offer Kendra dipped her finger into the

bowl and sampled The Elixir she tried

not to make a disgusted face it tasted

salty and nasty

delicious

a fairy with Raven black hair and

Bumblebee Wings approached the bowl

mimicking Kendra she dipped a finger and

tasted it in a whirling shower of Sparks

the fairy grew to nearly six feet tall

Kendra smelled the fertile Aroma that

had accompanied the fairy queen the

enlarged fairy blinked in astonishment

then glided High into the air the other

fairies mobbed the bull a blizzard of

Sparks flashed across the art as the

fairies transformed into much larger

versions of themselves

Kendra backed away shielding her eyes

from the dazzling pyrotechnics in

moments she was surrounded by a glorious

host of human-sized fairies some

standing on the ground most hovering the

fairies were uniformly tall and

beautiful with the leaf musculature of

professional ballerinas they wore Vivid

exotic apparel they still had

magnificent Wings they still emitted

light although the gentle twinkle had

become a brilliant Blaze the biggest

change was in their eyes Mary Mischief

had been replaced by something Stern and

smoldering a fairy with lustrous Silver

Wings and short blue hair alighted in

front of Kendra

you have summoned us to war she

announced in a heavy accent what is your

bidding Kendra swallowed a hundred

human-sized fairies took up much more

space than a hundred tiny ones that used

to be so cute now they were quite

imposing she would not want to be the

enemy of these proud seraphim

can you restore Dale Kendra asked a

peripheries crouched over Dale placed

their hands on him and then helped him

to his feet he regarded Kendra with a

befuddled Wonder patting himself as if

surprised he was attacked what's going

on he asked where's Stan the fairies

healed you Kendra said Grandpa and the

others are still in trouble but I think

the fairies will help us

Kendra returned her gaze to the stunning

silver fairy Muriel the witch is trying

to release a demon named Bahamut

the demon is free the fairy said you

have but to command

Kendra pressed her lips together we have

to lock him up again the witch too and

we have to rescue my grandpa and grandma

Sorensen and my brother Seth and Lena

the blue hair fairy nodded and issued

instructions in a musical language some

of the fairies began rummaging in nearby

plants they pulled out weapons a yellow

fairy produced a crystal sword from the

soil of a flower bed a violet fairy

transformed to Thorne from a rose bush

into a spear the silver fairy with blue

hair changed the snail shell into a

beautiful Shield The Petal of a pansy

became a blazing ax in her other hand

this is your will the fairy confirmed

yes Kendra said firmly altogether the

fairies took flight Kendra turned to

watch them go then a hand grabbed her

left arm and another seized her right

and she was soaring between two fairies

a slender albino with black eyes and a

blue furry fairy Kendra recognized the

blue one as the Downy Fountain Sprite

she had seen in Grandpa's office

the sudden acceleration took her breath

away they cruised low to the ground

skimming over bushes dodging Tree Trunks

and swishing past branches

flying near the rear Kendra marveled at

the Squadron of fairies ahead of her

effortlessly weaving through obstacles

at such Reckless speed the exhilaration

was overwhelming the wind of their

velocity brought tears to her eyes the

pond with the gazebos streaked by

beneath her at this rate they would

reach the Forgotten Chapel in moments

but what about when they got there

Bahama was supposed to be incredibly

powerful even so considering the Legion

of fierce fairies surrounding her Kendra

liked her odds glancing back Kendra saw

no fairies behind her they'd apparently

left Dale in the yard the Mad Dash

through the forest continued until the

fairies ahead swooped Skyward Kendra's

escorts followed rocketing up beyond the

Treetops the sudden Ascent left her

mouth dry and her stomach tingling

and then she was no longer moving Kendra

and her escorts hovered above the

Treetops watching the others plunged

towards the Forgotten Chapel Kendra

tried to recover from the thrill of

flying and digest what was happening

below

four winged creatures were rising to

Meet the Fairies the huge gargoyles were

at least 10 feet tall with razor Claws

and horns like Rams a few ferries broke

off from the main group to intercept

them the winged beasts clawed at their

smaller opponents but the fairies

adroitly evaded the blows and slashed

off their wings sending the Gargoyles

hurtling to the ground

something flashed in Kendra's eyes the

sun was peeking Over the Horizon let's

go Kendra said to her escorts the

fairies Dove Kendra fell in her stomach

rise to her throat as they plunged

towards the church human-sized imps were

spilling out of the front doorway

shaking their fists and hissing at the

incoming fairies many of the fairies

cast their weapons aside and swords

straight at the imps catching them in

vicious Embraces and kissing them on the

mouth in Brady and bursts to spark every

imp that was kissed transformed into a

human-sized fairy Kendra saw the silver

fairy with blue hair plant a kiss on an

obese imp the Imp instantly

metamorphosized into a plump fairy with

coppery wings as The Silver fairy glided

away the plump fairy tackled another imp

forced to kiss and in a Flash the Imp

became a thin Asian looking fairy with

hummingbird wings

the fairies streamed into the church

most did not bother with the door they

glided through the windows or smashed

through the corroded roof Kendra's

escorts held her over a gap in the roof

she saw fairies kissing imps other

fairies drove back a variety of foul

beasts one fairy used a golden lash to

send a toad-like monstrosity crashing

through the wall another fairy grasped

the scabby Beast by its Mane of white

hair and hurled it through a window a

gray fairy with moth-like wings chased a

Brawny Minotaur out the front door with

a scalding blast of steam from the end

of a rod many of the unsavory creatures

voluntarily fled before the terrible

Onslaught others fought back

a demonic dwarf with a hide of black

scales bounded around the room wreaking

havoc with a pair of knives a rampaging

atrocity that looked like a cross

between a bear and an octopus battered

fairies with its thrashing tentacles a

greasy creature coughed Globs of slime

into the air it had the general

appearance of a large tortoise without a

shell its body and amoeboid puddle

beneath a long neck

several fairies crashed into the church

floor Wings snarled in the goopy

substance

the undaunted fairies counter-attacked

the bottom half of the dwarf was turned

to stone tentacles severed the October

retreated a torrent of water Flushed

Away the greasy creature some fairies

attended their fallen comrades healing

injuries and washing away slime

as the room cleared fairies charged the

door to the basement take me to the

basement Kendra said her escorts

immediately responded nearly giving

Kendra a whiplash as they plummeted into

the church and glided to the basement

door the fairies had to tuck their wings

to descend the stairs so Kendra ran down

beside the furry fairy and the albino

the basement had expanded a massive

excavation and renovation had occurred

it was deeper broader and longer The

Alcove at The Far Side had grown as well

now completely unfettered by knotted

ropes the basement was not lighted as

brightly as before although the fairies

carried their own luminescence with them

hideous carvings sneered from the walls

one corner was piled with strange

Treasures Jade Idols spiked scepters and

jeweled masks

Kendra scanned the room for her family

the easiest to spot was Seth he was

inside an enormous jar with breathing

holes punched in the lid there were some

leaves and branches in it with him he

had grown No taller but he looked 100

years old saggy wrinkles creased his

face and he had only a few wisps of

white hair left atop his head he placed

a pruned Palm against the glass

Kendra guessed that the orangutang

chained to the wall was Grandpa the

large cat and fish swimming in the tank

beside him was probably Lena she saw no

sign of Grandma

flanked by her fairy escorts Kendra

dashed towards her family scores of

hideous imps scuffled with fairies those

fights did not last long as kisses

transformed the imps back to their

original forms

Kendra reached the gigantic jar are you

all right Seth her elderly brother

nodded feebly his smile showed that he

had no teeth

a snarling amp pounced at Kendra the

blue furry fairy caught the creature

mid-flight pinning its arms to its size

it resembled the same imp that

apprehended her brother earlier the

albino fairy flew up and gave the

impiciss on the mouth and it became a

striking fairy with fiery red hair and

iridescent dragonfly wings Seth began

tapping on the glass he was pointing

excitedly at the ferry Kendra realized

that it was the fairy he had unwittingly

transformed the red-headed fairy

approached the jar shaking a scolding

finger at Seth I'm sorry Seth mouth from

inside the container he clasped his

hands and made up pleading motions the

fairy regarded him through narrowed eyes

then she snapped her fingers and the jar

shattered she leaned forward and kissed

Seth on the forehead his wrinkles

smoothed and his hair filled in until he

promptly looked like himself again

Kendra pulled the bottle of milk from

her pocket and handed it to Seth save

some for Grandma and Grandpa but I can

see an ear splitting Roar shook the room

a creature who could only have been

Bahamut emerged from The Alcove the

loathsome demons stood three times as

tall as a man and had the head of a

dragon crowned by three horns the demon

walked upright possessing three arms

three legs and three Tails oily black

scales bristling with barbed spikes

covered its grotesque body to one side

of Bahamut floated the spectral woman

Kendra had seen outside her window on

midsummer's Eve her ebony wrappings

flowed unnaturally as if she were

underwater the unearthly operation made

Kendra think of a negative photograph

at the other side of Bahama stood Muriel

now clad in a gown as black as midnight

she leered at the fairies and glanced

confidently at the Towering demon no

imps remained in the room a crowd of

shining fairies faced these final

opponents Bahama crouched Inky Darkness

gathered around him the demon sprang

forward with a roar like a thousand

cannons firing together a black Wallace

Shadow flowed from Bahama like a wave of

tar total darkness engulfed the room

Kendra felt like she had been struck

blind even with her hands over her ears

the prolonged bellowing of the demon was

practically deafening there seemed to be

no substance to the shadow Bahama had

admitted it was just darkness where were

the fairies where was their light

the ground rumbled and a sound like an

avalanche overpowered the Demon's Roar

suddenly daylight flooded the room

looking up Kendra beheld a blue sky the

slanted rays of the Rising Sun fell into

the basement the entire church had been

hurled aside descending from above and

charging from all directions fairies

swarmed Bahamut the demon slashed a

fairy with one of its tails raked

another with an impossibly quick swipe

of its claws Jaws snapping the creature

swallowed a yellow fairy hole many

fairies were following while the

majority attacked other fairies laid

hands on the injured curing most of them

rapidly Muriel stood in a theatrical

pose chanting spidery words a pair of

fairies near her turned into glass and

shattered she extended a contorted hand

and another fairy turned to Ash and

disintegrated into a gray cloud long

streamers of ebony fabric flowed from

the spectral woman entangling nearby

fairies the ensnared fairies began to

loose their luster and wither the silver

fairy appeared slicing through the

fabric with her ax of fire other fairies

joined her using gleaming swords to

sever the black material the fairies

swirling around Bahama now held ropes

they looked like the ropes that had

crisscrossed the front of the Alcove

except now they appeared to be woven out

of gold Bahama kept roaring and swinging

and biting but the ropes were beginning

to tangle them up knots were forming in

them the draconic creature was slowing

down his great Jaws clamped shut tearing

off the Gauzy wing of a fairy with

markings like a ladybug the spectral

woman turned and drifted away her

ethereal wrappings no longer quite as

flowing the fairies ignored her

departure a parapharius had taken hold

of Muriel and they flung her at Bahama

soon she was bound to the demon by

flaxing chords she screeched as her body

shriveled with age and her gown turned

to rags three fairies a lighted Atop The

Demon's head they each grabbed a horn

and tore it out the demon wailed dozens

of fairies seized the ropes binding the

demon and hurled Bahama back into the

Alcove busily fairies began threading

the knotted ropes back and forth over

the entrance Kendra turned the blue

furry fairy gestured towards the

orangutan and the shackles binding it to

the wall fell apart another gesture and

a burst of light changed the orangutan

into Grandpa Sorensen the albino fairy

pulled the convulsing catfish out of the

aquarium and changed her back into Lena

where's my grandma Kendra cried the

red-haired fairy who'd freed Seth

approached the aquarium she left out a

small putrid slug they've been clinging

onto the side above the water and

changed it back into grandma

Sorensen massaged her temples and I

thought my mind was muddy as a chicken

she muttered Grandpa hurried over and

embraced her do you need milk Kendra

asked holding out the bottle to her

grandfather he shook his head we have

not slept and so the veil has not yet

covered our eyes a group of fairies

gathered near the Alcove extending their

arms Palms downward soil clay and stone

began flowing together and piling up

until Hugo was Reborn the Golem

stretched and let out a groan to rival

the Roars of the banished demon the

fairies busily healed one another

mending wings and closing wounds one

circle of fairies spread out their arms

and fragments of glass skittered

together took the form of a pair of

fairies and came back to life several

other fairies joined hands and started

humming particles of Ash swirl Loosely

in their midst but refused to coalesce

the fairies released one another and the

ash dissipated some fairies it seemed

were Beyond rescue

several fairies took hold of Hugo and

lifted him out of the basement others

did the same for Grandpa Grandma Lena

Seth and Kendra Airborne again Kendra

had a view of the destroyed Church the

wreckage is spread across the clearing

from a couple hundred yards the

Forgotten Chapel had not simply been

flung aside it had been obliterated the

fairies set them down a good distance

from the wreckage in the basement all

except Lena the two fairies were

carrying her away the former nyad was

having harsh words with them in a

foreign tongue struggling in their grasp

Kendra touched Grandpa Sorensen's arm

and nodded towards the commotion

nothing to be done about it he said as

the fairies hold Lena away he held an

armor on Grandma holding her close hey

Kendra shouted bring Lena back here the

fairies holding Lena paid her no heed

passing out of sight Into the Woods

the remainder of the fairies assembled

above the basement floating in an

enormous ring they had more than tripled

their numbers with all the imps they had

reclaimed Kendra had seen many fairies

fall during the battle but most had been

revived and healed by the magic of their

comrades the radiant fairies raised

their arms together and started singing

the music sounded impromptu full of

hundreds of interweaving Melodies with

almost no harmonies as they sang the

ground and the clearing began to

undulate the wreckage from the church

slid across the field clattering into

the open basement the ground began to

Quake the walls of the basement crumbled

the surrounding area folded and

swallowed it up the field heaved like a

stormy sea as the undulation subsided

the basement had been replaced by a low

Hill the ferry choir became more shrill

wildflowers and fruit trees began

sprouting throughout the clearing and on

the hill coming to full bloom in a

matter of seconds flowers blossomed all

over Hugo who offered no reaction when

the singing finally ceased a cheery Hill

covered by a fragrant array of brilliant

blossoms and mature fruit trees had

replaced the Forgotten Chapel

they made Hugo look all fruity Seth

complained the Legion of fairies glided

towards them scooped them up and carried

them on a Breakneck flight for home

Kendra relished being part of the

Mercurial procession Overjoyed at the

fortunate ending of the terrible night

Seth whooped the whole way as if he were

riding the coolest roller coaster on the

planet

finally the fairies deposited them on

the yard where Dale stood waiting

now I've seen everything he said as

Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen were set

down beside him the fairy with short

blue hair and Silver Wings stood before

Kendra

thank you Kendra said you did

wonderfully we can never repay you

the silver fairy gave a single nod eyes

glittering as if responded to a signal

the fairies crowded Kendra each in turn

giving her a quick kiss as each kiss was

bestowed the fairy reverted to her

former size amid dazzling Sparks and

darted away the rapid succession of

kisses brought overpowering Sensations

again Kendra smelled the earthy Aromas

of the fairy queen rich soil and young

blossoms she tasted honey and fruit and

berries all sweet beyond comparison she

heard the music of rainfall The Cry Of

The Wind and the Roar of the sea

she felt as if the warmth of the sun

were embracing her flowing through her

the fairies kissed her eyes her cheeks

her ears her brow

when the last of more than 300 fairies

kissed her Kendra stumbled backwards and

sat down hard on the grass she felt no

pain in fact she was mildly surprised

that she did not float away she felt so

light and drowsy

Grandpa and Dale helped Kendra to her

feet

I would wager that this young lady has

quite a story to tell Grandpa said and I

would also wager that now is not the

time Hugo attend to your labors

Dale was helping Kendra to the house she

felt euphoric and distant she was glad

her family was safe but she felt so

inexplicably Blissful and the Troubles

of the evaporating evening seemed so

remote that she began to wonder whether

it had all been a surreal dream

Grandpa was holding hands with Grandma

I'm sorry it took so long to get you

back he said softly I can guess the

reasons she said we need to talk about

you eating my eggs

they weren't your eggs Grandpa protested

they were the eggs of the hand that your

mind was inhabiting I'm glad you can be

you can be so detached

there may still be a couple in the

fridge

Kendra stumbled on her way up the porch

steps Grandpa and Dale helped her under

the porch and into the house the

furniture was back nearly all of it had

been restored with some alterations a

couch had been reconstructed as a chair

some lampshades were made of a different

material Jewels had been added to a

picture frame

could the brownies have worked so fast

her eyes were drooping Grandpa was

holding Grandma's hands Whispering

something in her ear Seth was chattering

but the words made no sense Dale held

her shoulders guiding her they were

almost to the stairs but she could not

keep her eyes open she felt herself

falling and hands catching her and then

Consciousness fled
