Chapter 4

While Rayman and his friends were up in the air, one of Reflux's hands came around and hit them, sending them all flying.  As they crashed to the ground, Reflux prepared to do it again.

A burst of flame suddenly rose from the ground between them and Reflux, however, causing Reflux to take a step back in surprise.  The flame took a familiar shape, the shape of a figure in a long cloak and really big hat.  The fire suddenly disappeared, becomming that figure.

Dark turned to Rayman, glaring at him.  Then he saw the Snake Cross Amulet around Alaesia's neck.

"Looks like we were right." Alaesia said.  "The dead are comming back."

"Yes." Dark said.  "I have returned.  And this time I will have that amulet and destroy you all."

Alaesia's hand went to the amulet.  "Not if I can help it."

"You think--" Dark began, but was cut off.

"Rayman is MINE to kill." Reflux said, having shrunk down to his original size.

Dark turned around to face Reflux.  "That is where you are wrong.  I have a score to settle with Rayman."

"So do I." Reflux said.

"Well you can have his remains." Dark said, turning back around.  "But I am going to take the final blow."

Reflux picked up the dark mage.  "No, I will!"

Dark threw an irritated glance at Rayman, annoyed about the delay, then finally said, "We'll settle this somewhere else."  Then the two suddenly vanished in a burst of flame.

Sudden heat behind the group made them jump and turn around, but the fire was gone as quickly as the fire that had taken Dark and Reflux.

"Everyone okay?" Rayman asked.

"I think so." Alaesia said.  "But...where's Aneishen?"

Everyone looked around, unable to find the weather sorceress.  When the truth finally hit them, they stared at each other in slight shock.

"He took her too." Ly said.

Aneishen opened her eyes, not sure where she was.  The floor she lay on seemed to be made out of some kind of chocolate, preserved to keep it from melting and to be as strong as tile.  The walls were similarly constructed, only they were made of some kind of cream with bits of yellow candy.

Where am I? She wondered.  There was a door made of chocolate cake with icing on the top to her right and a window to her left.  She stood up and went to the window first and her jaw dropped.  As far as she could see everything was made out of either cake or candy of some kind.  She was in a great fortress in the middle of this amazing land, several stories above the ground.

"Welcome," said a voice behind her.  Aneishen turned around to see Dark standing in the room.  "To the Candy Chateau."

"Why did you bring me here?" Aneishen asked him.

"I was originally going to just kill all of you and take the Snake Cross Amulet from you, but the blasted thing has apparently accepted that girl as its master, making it useless to me unless it is given freely." Dark said.

"And you think Alaesia's going to give it to you to free me?" Anaeishen asked skeptically.

"If she ever wants to see you alive again." Dark said, then he was gone in a burst of flame like before.

Aneishen tried to open the door and escape, but it was locked.  Her attention then turned to the window again.  It was time to get out of here.
