"Josh...they need you," Dumbledore said, pointing to the nearly complete cirlce. All that was needed was for Josh to be there.
Cassidy saw Berii, Terra, and a very tired looking Johann appear by her side int he dojo that was her imagination. She flet a lot more confident now, her friends by her side. She looked at them with a readiness that would have inspired confidence in anyone.
"Let's take this guy down..." she told them, brandishing her swrod once more.
Andrew readied himself as well, his katana gripped firmly.
"All together!" Cassidy cried. "Clear your minds of hatred, of anger! Fill yourselves with love, with compassion! Smite him without negative feelings!"
Cassidy led the charge, lending some of her energy to Johann, whom she knew was tired. She was grateful that he had come to help them. She had heard what he had said about the prophecy, about not being ble to banish Karli's father with this one, desperate fight. This fight was only to weaken him, to keep him at bay.
And to save Cassidy from a terrible death.
"Use spells! Whatever you have to!" Cassidy cried, as she and Andrew attacked Karli's father with swords. Even though she knew that Karli could not hear her, she raised her voice higher, filling herself with positive energy. "Karli, it WILL be all right!"
Andrew was flung against the wall by the snake-man before them. He was hit hard, knocking the wind out of him. Cassidy continued to fend him off as Andrew regained his feet.
She glanced over at Johann.
"He must deliver the final blow..." she realized, blocking another of Karli's father's attacks with her blade. She sliced his snake body rapidly, fighting for her life...and for Karli's.
