BEHEMOTH
The next town is nearby, and I slept almost the entire day since I feel so bloated with this period. I had a rude awakening when Fries the lion cub slapped me with its paw for me to wake up. I groggily opened my eyes and sat up.
"What?" I groaned annoyed.
"The little Holy Beast is restless this past few minutes, while you are peacefully sleeping your highness, I honestly do not know what it wants, since I offered it food from the Basket that you have given me"
"..." I looked at the voice and recognised it, it was Elinna, the girl who repeatedly kneels in front of me, Fries then clawed the Carriage door in which I opened abruptly.
"Your highness! Please don't do that so suddenly!" Elinna tells me off
"Sorry" Luckily the Carriage is at a halt.
I got off the Carriage while Fries ran off, that's when my senses returned when a loud metal noise clashing could be heard, I looked at where the noise came from, and it was like a battlefield.
"Your highness! Return to the carriage at once!" Commander Alfonso shouts.
"Good Luck then," I was about to hop inside when my ears picked up the little mew of the lion cub. I stopped and worriedly looked for it. "Fries!" I shouted.
I took off looking for the cub when I spotted it scooping it up in my arms, but Fries consistently mew and struggled.
"Stop it!" I shouted to the lion cub it stopped and hissed "now you're having a sass attitude on me?!" It hissed even further puffing its fur.
"PRINCESS!"
A shout from the Carriage made me lookup, the Knights and those whom they're fighting stopped.
"What?"
A blast of hot air behind me made me confused.
"Run!" The people who were fighting the Knights sprinted away.
I slowly turned around to see what the hell made them so scared.
I met a large slit pupil that became thinner, the moment I saw it.
"BEHEMOTH!"
"PRINCESS RUN!"
The Giant Monster that's as big as a 4-Story Mansion, roared at me; adrenaline suddenly rushed inside my veins and I turned around to run, but it's as if time is slowing down, my movements became heavy.
The pounding of my heart rang inside my ears, Fries was crying louder than before and the Knights had dread on their faces watching me.
Now I feel the air being as hot as a dessert so suddenly, it's already hurting my skin. I tried my best to get away a flash of red started to appear in my line of vision.
-Not on my watch!
(Leo)
A voice shouted in my head, the heat disappeared, and a cool gust of air replace it, my body became lighter once again.
I turned around to see a giant Lion clawing at the back of the Monster.
-Get out of here child!
(Leo)
The Lion that's about 6ft. taller than the average lion says, how in the world am I hearing its voice?
"Princess! Hurry!"
Elinna beckoned, as I ran to safety, but a flash of morbid image flash before my eyes.
Elinna and the Knights sprawled dead on the ground, they bathe in their pool of blood, the carriage destroyed as well, the horses are nowhere and large chunks of rock are scattered around.
"What the hell happened here?"
-Child what the hell are you doing still standing around?!
(Leo)
Leo angrily shouted inside my head.
I stopped confused about what I'm supposed to do right now.
"Princess!"
"Come on!"
"While the Holy Beast is distracting and fighting it! We need to escape"
The only one that isn't beckoning or shouting at me is Doctor Edgar, he was observing what's happening.
"Meow!"
Fries slapped me with its paw, telling me to move as well.
"I-"
I felt tears starting to form in my eyes, but I bit my lips holding back my tears, turning around.
-Look out!
(Leo)
A boulder is heading towards me with a speed of 250 mph, if it hits, it's certain death.
"SERAPHINE!"
badump,
badump,
badump,
I breathe and concentrated, I pleaded inside my head that if I do have powers please activate right now. I don't know what that scary image is, but I don't want anyone dying.
That's when I felt like I was falling into an endless void in my mind.
3rd Person POV;
Seraphine stood still while a giant boulder headed towards her at a fast pace, her eyes started glowing in a shade of blue, she raises a hand the boulder stopping only 45 cm away from her.
"..."
Everyone that is watching held their breath in anticipation.
Seraphine gestured her hand towards the sky and the boulder floated upwards.
-This is not good, the Prophecy power is Controlling her!
(Leo)
"Your highness! Come On!"
First Commander Raulyn Shouted agitated at the Princess.
-My son! Wake the child up! If this continues, the Prophecy powers will completely control her mind and actions, without her consent, she and everyone around her is in danger!
(Leo)
Leo tells his son in which, Fries complied trying to wake Seraphine up from her daze.
-The child needs to accept that the prophecy is her powers, if she continues to reject it and summon it when she conveniently needs it. It will bring harm than good to her.
(Leo)
The Behemoth Continues to charge at The Holy Beast Leo while Leo flies around agitating it spewing Blue Flames at the monster.
Seraphine on the other hand started being cloaked with the blue flame again.
The Holy Beast Leo got a little distracted because of Seraphine's Appearance with the blue flame, that it didn't notice the Behemoth casting a spell lifting the rocks around it compressing it,
Hurdling it towards Leo, Leo barely dodge the attacked but its wings got damaged along the process, Leo falls from the air landing on its feet.
-Shit
(Leo)
Leo cursed, The Behemoth raises itself then stomps on the ground, the ground shook and spikes appeared from the ground, coming towards the Holy Beast,
The Holy Beast stood its ground, inhaled then roared the echoes of the roar reverberating through the area, the sound wave stopped the attack of the Behemoth but in return, the monster charged its sharp horns pointed to the Holy Beast.
-
(Leo)
A thin bolt of lightning struck down on the Behemoth stunning it for a brief moment.
-Son, desperate times, calls for desperate measures, bite the Child!
(Leo)
Fries gave an apologetic look at Seraphine, it then positioned itself and bit her arm, the bite is so powerful that Seraphine's arm started bleeding.
"..."
Seraphine twitched ever so slightly, but it wasn't enough to wake her up, the Behemoth gave out a shriek and a magic circle appeared below it.
-
(Leo)
Leo says preparing itself, pieces of earth lifted in the air forming into a giant needle shape form, when it was complete it shot forward, but it wasn't headed towards Leo, it passed by him, it headed towards the unmoving Seraphine.
-NO!
(Leo)
