The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 12

The arena was closed off from the world, the only remaining Toxicant Tea stashed inside. Chiron stood above the wreckage, alongside Kai, Jenny, Slav, and Nox.

“This might be a problem.” He said, stroking his beard.

“Why?” Asked Kai.

“Haphis’s body absorbed some of the Tea, and I think he may not be dead.”

“So we’re going to have to track him down?” Jenny asked.

“Hmmm, not yet.” Chiron said. “Let’s wait and see.”

Everyone was glad to see them back in the redwoods, many applauding Slav’s ingenuity to kill Skrake.

“People, please!” Jenny yelled out. She clutched Kai’s hand, both of them shaking, as they had been the past week or so since the battle.

“Haphis, former ruler of the Blue Obelisk Tribe, may be out on the loose and very powerful!”

A murmur went through the crowd, but Kai silenced it.

“So we have to become stronger! We have to tame new creatures, make new armor, and when the time comes, win once again!”

A cheer went up from the crowd, and they set off to prepare for the day that Haphis returned.
