Synopsis for "The Return of Kulan Gath Part Five: A Clash of Red"Edit
As Sonja looks back on her event of kissing the snake, she recognized that she must show no fear, as the large pit viper sticks its tongue out, Red Sonja caress her head against the forked tounge and kisses it.
This satisfies the goddess, and there is a picture of her beneath, Kulan Gath, and in the midst of Kulan Gath are seven demons that are like those to be brought forth by the Borat-Na Fori. With that there is a deluge of water and Sonja comes up out or the waters of her baptism to look up her goddess.
Osin and Suumaro are on a recognizance mission delivered by Kaleval's birds which probable lifted Sonja his horse and himself to Hyrkania. A large rumbling sound and friends of Suumaro on Woolly mammoths appear. They also serve the forgotten god and the book of Kalevala, but they remember the call of the ice and snow. Blyke, a bard, dismounts and embraces his prince Suumaro and tells of the foul armies of the Borat-Na Fori. A group of men who serve the forgotten lords called Ice men, with Dyllyn the leader had gatherd Blyke and others together. Dyllyn tells them to listen to thr ice birds.
Back in the fortress of Borat-Na Fori the seven spawned demons consume the birthing horse-thing. While the father looks on, while eating human flesh, and wants them to fear him only. The birth of the demons like himself was only hours of growth to maturity. The son of the dark god becomes aware of the awaking of the old gods. He is aware that the ice birds bring Sonja and the goddess. Kaleval arrives at the gathering of the Ice men who kneel before him and Sonja. Kaleval proclaims " Tomorrow we fight and die, but tonight we shall feast!" Osin and Sonja give each other awkward furtive glances.
By morning the armies of the Borat-Na Fori begin to march with their demon generals. Suumaro notices many of those he now faces were of his father’s kingdom, and like his father, the shadow of the dark god had fallen over them too. Into the fray they ride with shields,pikes, woolly mammoths and demons against them. They were inspired by Red Sonja and her rush to battle. Suumaro and Blyke from their lofty mammoths are slashing and outflanking their foes. Sonja fights from the tusks and trunk of the mammoth contolled by Suumaro while the ice birds attack their opponents as well. They arrive at the city entrance and confront the Borat-Na Fori as he calls himself. Sonja declares this was her purpose to avenge her family. Suumaro also has a grudge for his lost kingdom and men. The Borat invites them to his holy place for sacrifice. He states he had walked this world before and was killed by a god. Sonja she has been touched by two gods both in spirit and flesh.
The battle outside is fierce with Kaleval cleaving a demon in half by his double head axe and rescues the bard Blyke as well. As Osin and the bard are trying to figure a way out the lone shrouded hunter in the shadows leaps for Osin sayin"now is the time for dying."
