We combined our attacks. Macko threw a rock that Fendron lit on fire. Me and Navine surrounded the stone in rings of water and air. It hit the orb. It cracked. 

"Well that certainly did something." Macko said. 

"Keep going. We can't light up." I say. 

We pressed on the attacks. Unfortunately, the sound of the guards coming was ringing in my ears. I hear the others fight, but I can't get distracted. We have to end this here. Right here right now. I can't imagine what would happen if we don't destroy the orb. Yinora would've made a new army entirely of fake Kallikora warriors. We would've been outnumbered, and they would've been more powerful. 

The orb was cracking more and more, but the guards were close. I don't know if they can hold them off any longer. Ila was pushed into the cave. She slammed into me. 

"Ow, I don't mean to be rude, BUT CAN YOU PLEASE HURRY UP!" Ila yelled. 

"Okay, okay, we're going." I say. 

A snake of magic grabbed Fendron and Macko. We stop. We turn around. 

"My, my, I can't believe your free." Yinora said walking in.
