Chapter 6: The Endings
By JJN

	Erebus stared into the glowing dark purple orb as he walked. It would pulse once in a while, beaming images to the newt. Images that showed the necromancer the path to his goal. Nit and J'hon were behind the newt as he wandered on. He began to mumble to himself. The newt lead them upwards. Inside the mountain was surprisingly warmer then outside.

	Erebus entered a chamber and before he knew it he and his companions were surrounded by eight cultists. The newt grumbled putting the orb in his pack. He looked up,
"Get out of my way you waste of life!"
Nit and J'hon ducked away, from the sound of the newt's voice he could easily take on the eight cultists that were closing in on him. The cultists seemed to want to kill Erebus more then Nit or J'hon, so it made it easy for the saber-tooth and the bunny to duck away. The hooded figures closed in on the newt.
"You think these pathetic cultist will stop me?!"
Erebus's hood fell back as he shouted, his black eyes flashed purple as the area where he stood began to be engulfed in darkness. Black fire spread to the eight cultist and instantly absorbed them. There was no screams no noises at all just nothing as the eight cultist were simply gone. The black fire got sucked up into Erebus, as if he had absorbed their souls and the newt seemed to have grown slightly as the flames faded.
	A slow clapping noise was heard as Erebus pulled his hood back over his head.
"Well done my amphibious friend. Well done."
Out of the darkness came a white and red figure, he had scares all over his body and dark black horns. He had long golden hair and piercing yellow eyes. Seeing this figure made J'hon and Nit freeze in there spots. The male strolled up to the newt, staring at him,
"You must be Erebus the Fallen."
The necromancer narrowed his eyes, if he was scared he didn't show it. Erebus was slightly shorter then the figure before him. The newt spoke, he knew the name of the creature that stood before him.
"Raul."
The name came out of the newt's mouth, sounding cold. The creature smiled then bowed,
"Thought my name was lost in time. Glad someone knows it."
Raul walked around the necromancer, his lion like tail swayed as he circled the newt. As if he was sizing up Erebus.
"There's not much of you is there."
Raul's voice echoed in the chamber. Erebus for the first time in a long while, gripped his cerimonial dagger and lunged at Raul. There was a laugh as the creature turned into smoke.
"Bastard!"
Erebus muttered.
"You sure you want to do that little one?"
The newt took a step forward and Raul's voice spoke again,
"Your prize is up ahead, but you will have to face me. Maybe I will let you become a god like me and we will fight as equals?"
There was a pause,
"Or I could kill you right now."
Erebus looked back to Nit and J'hon,
"Let's go NOW!"
J'hon got up and ran to the necromancer, Nit hesitated then followed as the three continued.

	Erebus raced ahead, leaving J'hon and Nit behind. A big stone double door blocked his path. The newt yelled out in rage as a purple ball of fire flew out of his hand and blew the doors open. The dust settled and there stood the big black wolf. He snarled at the newt.
"There you are."
Behind the necromancer came Nit and J'hon, it was apparent that the wolf was talking to the saber-tooth tiger. J'hon narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Nit, making a gesture of courage. Erebus pushed past Seico and headed into the temple like area.

	On the pedestal was the book, The Undeath Book. In it's pages was a spell that could turn a mortal into a god. The newt stepped up to the pedestal and the artifacts in his pack began to stir. He opened up the pack and the Umbra Nox orb and the Skull of Raw'Ah were floating. They floated in front of Erebus, glowing. Something deep inside him told him to touch them....
