Chapter 15?!?! No way! My, the time flies.
Chapter 15
Ben massaged his temples wearily. It had been half an hour since he had found out that they were in Daran's temple in Mahal, when a sudden thought occurred to him. "Hey, where is Yeshua, anyway?"
Kaela gasped. "That's right! How could we have forgotten?"
Lindsey blinked sadly. "Don't get your hopes up, guys. Remember, Daran told he he was going to kill Yeshua. That's probably what's going on right now!"
Josh pounded his fists into the wall. "I wish we could do something about--wait. What was that?"
A muffled voice could be heard through the door. "Ben, Kaela, Josh? Are you there?"
Kaela called back. "Tristan? Is that you? Yes, we're all here. What happened?"
"One of those Ogres knocked me out in the garden. I guess they thought I was dead. Let this be a lesson to them; never mess with Tristan Oenhelm! Anyway, do you happen to know where the keys would be?"
It was Lindsey who answered. "No. Ben, can your sword cut through the bars? You said it could do a whole bunch of things, right?"
Ben sighed. "I'm sorry, but I dropped my sword in the garden. Even if it could, it wouldn't be any use to us now."
"Maybe Tristan can run back and get it?" Josh suggested hopefully. "Oh, never mind. We don't have that much time; they'll probably be killing Yeshua any minute! We barely have any time to save him."
Kaela hit herself on the forehead. "Oh, how brainless can I be!" she scolded herself. "I do have my sword with me! Here, let's try."
The girl pulled her magnificant, yet not full-length, sword out of it's plain scabbard. Everytime she did it, shivers ran down her back, knowing how powerful it actually was. It immediately began radiating a pure, clean light, illuminating the whole room.
As if in a trance, Kaela walked over toward the door, and then brought her sword down onto the bars with a clang. "It worked!" she cried triumphantly. "I felt something give!"
She pulled it away and gave yet another whack. Now there was a noticable dent it the bars.
Before she could strike it a third time, Kaela felt the blade vibrate. An instant later, it shot out the familiar, white ray of light that easily pierced through the bars. As a matter of fact, it completely incinerated the whole door, which had been made of strong, thick metal.
Tristan looked at the sword, eyes wide. "How in the world...?"
Kaela merely smiled and said, "Adonai."
Josh, Ben, Kaela, and Lindsey filed out of their former prison into the dark hallway. Not dark for long, however, as Kaela's blade glowed again, this time lighting up the hall.
Tristan looked skeptically at Lindsey, but said nothing to indicate he was surprised at her presence. Instead, he turned and broke into a run. "Now let's go rescue Adonai!"

All my chapters are rather short. I would make them longer, but now I have limited computer time, so I just type as fast as I can and as short as I can, and then go ahead and post it.
