The Crusaders II The players threw out their cards 13.05

1.          Victoria Falls,

Victoria Falls also known as "Mosi oa-Tunya" ("the smoke that thunders") along the mighty Zambezi River's long journey from its source to the sea. The river plunges headlong into a 100m vertical chasm spanning the full one thousand five hundred metres width of the river. Its fall create the biggest curtain of falling water in the world. This constant pounding by the currents of the mighty Zambezi has, over the millennium, cut through the rock faults and fissures and carved out not one but eight successive precipices. The waterfall landscape vary from time to time but behinds its curtain of water, some things never changed. There is a cavern mouth there which is covered by illusion that others cannot see with their eyes. This late evening, Leviathan stood there as he marveled at the greatness of this river.

"Leviathan, I need to speak to you." Beelzebub called on the other Prince. He had just fled from his hideout at the desert when he heard that Lord Seth was defeated. He fear Lord Osiris or the others would come for him next. He had seek refuge here with Leviathan but another matter called for his attention.

"Lucifer sent me a message. He wants to meet." Beelzebub told him. Leviathan in his human form looked like a huge man with a thick beard in a sea captain uniform complete with the cap.

"I know. He sent me one too. We are meeting him in a location of my choosing." Leviathan looked at the other. "Are you ready?"

Leviathan grabbed Beelzebub to jump into the flowing waterfall but they did not drown but appeared on an island, east of Madagascar and two hundred kilometres south west of Mauritius. Its named Reunion Island, under the French administration. They are on an isolated stretch of the beach with no passerby except for a lone figure standing by the waves.

"Hello, my beloved Princes." Lucifer greet his peers. He looked at Beelzebub in his tourist garb; flower shirt and khaki pants. "Sure;y, you don't wear that at the Niles. The crocodiles would had spotted you miles away."

"Cut the small talks, Lucifer. We have told Baal of our intention." Leviathan spoke up.

"Leviathan, the unexpected one. I enjoyed the octopus. Put up a good fight with my hounds. You should know them; the hounds of Hell." Lucifer replied and then looked the duo. Leviathan felt the presence and stepped back. So did Beelzebub. "They won't bite unless I them otherwise."

"What do you want, Lucifer?" Leviathan asked of him.

"Listen to me and then decide." The duo listened to the master plan of the war, and in the end, they agreed to fight on.

"Thank you, Leviathan. I knew I can trust on you." Lucifer wished him the best and left. Beelzebub walked up to Leviathan and asked of him.

"Do you trust him? Could it be true?" But Leviathan did not reply. He just walked away.
