A Basilisk Attacks Ellis's House

Night dawns on and everyone goes to their rooms. Suddenly everyone hears a scream. The boys come running out of their rooms and seeing Jane's room door is open they run downstairs. As they come down they see Patrick is fighting a creature that was half bird and half snake. Seeing it Gaby says "It's a Basilisk. Serpent king. What's it doing here. Patrick, Jane don't look into its eyes, it's glare can kill you."

It again tries to attack Jane but Patrick attacks it with his sword and comes in between Jane and the beast. Seeing Patrick is in danger, Leonardo leaps and bounds the basilisk in his grip. Gaby summons his sword and cuts a cross in the air. A portal hole opens. As the portal hole opens Leonardo says "Chris, Devon quickly." Both come running and all together push the creature into the portal hole but it comes out again and strikes at Gaby. Seeing all this Ellis gets angry and jumps in between the Basilisk and everyone else.

Seeing Ellis, Jewels says "Ellis, get out of the way. It's too dangerous."

Suddenly the air around starts blowing fast. Thunder begins to strike. Ellis sees the Basilisk directly into its eyes. Seeing his glare is not affecting the human, the creature screams.

Seeing it screaming Ellis says "Getting angry. Your glare is of no harm to me. You might be the serpent king but I'm Ellis Cosmos, ruler of the three dimensions. You dare attack my life and my friends."

Ellis summons his sword and tells Leonardo and the boys to leave the Basilisk. As soon as it gets free Ellis strikes it, throwing it into the portal hole and seals it.

Seeing it's over Ellis takes Jane in his arms and asks if everyone is alright. Everyone says yes and then Jewels says, "Ellis, are you OK?"

Smiling Ellis says "Me, nothing can harm me. That's why I keep telling you all. Don't put yourself in danger cause of me. Whatever comes our way, we'll deal with it, or rather I'll deal with it. And, Patrick what were you doing? You're a mermaid. You don't have powers."

"Ellis, I don't have powers but I do have strength and after the Pegasus …" says Patrick

Taking a deep breath Ellis says "Patrick, the princess told to get the sapphire. The king ordered it. You followed orders cause you were his slave. The king will pay, the princess, if she means anything to you, I won't do anything if not, she will get a lesson. And, you. You are no longer his slave and you are not going back. But now that everyone is safe, let's get you in the backyard. You've been out of the water for too long."

Leonardo asks "Ellis, wait. Are you really not sending Patrick back to the king?"

Looking a little puzzled, Ellis says "Did I just speak in French? Don't think so."

Taking a sigh Leonardo says "If that's the case then keeping Patrick on land will be hard. The fresh water pool will also be a limited asset. Plus, it will be hard to maintain the right temperature in the pool. ('OK, you're the celestial being. So what's your suggestion?' says Ellis).

Leonardo closes his left hand and a light emits. On opening a blue pendant is shining in his hand. Leonardo Goes over to Patrick and gives him the pendant. As Patrick takes it Leonardo says "Wear it. As long as the pendant is in your neck you will be able to stay out of water. "

Hearing this Ellis gets happy and asks "Leonardo, is that possible and how? Does that pendant symbolize something?"

Replying Leonardo says "The pendant holds the celestial water fragment. It holds different significance for whoever wears it. When it connects to your heart, whatever fear you have related to water, the fragment will deal with it. Patrick knows he cannot survive out of water and that's his fear (suddenly a light emits from the pendant). It's ready now. As long as the pendant is in your neck, you don't need to get in water."

"Wow! You amaze me the more I get to know you. Are you a celestial being or a magician?" asks Joel "Hey, Clive can you do stuff like this?"

Looking skeptical Clive says "I don't think so. "

'Guys, all celestial beings have capabilities. And according to our levels our capabilities vary. But Clive, being reincarnated as a human, has limited abilities. And the reason for this is the human body is not capable of handling its powers. But don't worry, I'll figure out something soon. "

Looking at Leonardo, Ellis says "Leonardo, you're thinking about everyone. What about you? (Leonardo looks puzzled) Leonardo, the pain, you need to rest and now this basilisk."

"Hey, speaking of this creature, it's glare is well known to kill. Ellis, you survived it, makes sense, you're the cosmic ruler, but Jane? "

Taking a deep breath Ellis says "Jane is imprinted by me. No power can possess her. And yes, she's my unofficial wife. I have to officially take over as the ruler and then declare Jane as my wife. Then the official wedding and Jane is the queen of the three dimensions and your official sister-in-law."

Seeing it's getting late Denver says "Guy's let's go inside. It's getting late. Hopefully it's the last time we see that thing. "

As they enter inside Ellis says "Gaby take Leonardo to his room and stay with him. Don't let him come out till I tell you. "

"Ellis, I'm the leader of your bodyguard force. I cannot sleep with you up and as for the pain, it's part of my duty. "

"Yes it is and I'm not denying it. Protecting me is your duty but as the cosmic vampire who stands by his words and the vampire who prioritizes his friends and family over himself, I'm not going to let you neglect yourself. And you don't have to exert yourself. No power is above me. No magic is beyond me. No creature can surpass me. Be it the serpent king or any other ruler of its dimension. " says Ellis

Just as Gaby is about to take Leonardo up to his room they hear thunder. Looking puzzled, Denver says "Thunder at this time of the month. Or is something coming again."

Patrick senses something and removes his sword and stands in front of Ellis. Seeing him Devon, Chris and Joshua also remove their swords and stand next to Patrick. Joshua asks "what's the matter Patrick. Sense mermaids outside."

Looking amazed Patrick says "You also sensed them? ('No, I just guessed' says Joshua). The king has sent his force. He's not with them."

"OK, then let's go greet them." says ellis

"Wait, they are not alone. The basilisk is with them." says Chris "Ellis you're not going out. We can't risk you or Jane so, please stay inside and let us deal with it. "

"Chris, if that creature came out of the portal hole after Ellis sent it in, that thing needs to be reckoned with." says Edward

Seeing Edward, Ellis asks "Edward why'd you come down? "

'What to do? Even though I know you can handle it, as a father I can't close my eyes and sleep. Ellis, you need to think before you act and control your anger. Make your family and friends your strength, not your liability."

"Liability?" says Ellis confused

"Yes, that creature angered you, causing you to react. But your anger overtook your thinking. Ellis, the basilisk is one of the dreaded being. Smuggers are babies in front of them. A well that a basilisk drinks water from is poisoned for centuries. It's venom is highly lethal. But why is it with the mermaid king?"

"Maybe, they have made a deal." says Denver

"A snake and a mermaid. I think there's more than what we see." says Clive

Taking hold of the stairs railing Leonardo says, "Joshua go and check. Patrick relax. We'll take care of them."

"Stop," says Ellis "You're right. There's more than what we see. ('What's the matter, Ellis?' says Joshua)"

Ellis raises his right arm and says "by the powers bestowed upon me." and a ray of light goes from his hand into the ceiling.

Seeing this Gaby says "Ellis, why have you put a protective shield on the house? We won't be able to go out."

Edward replies saying "Gaby, no power can breach Ellis's shield. And whatever is out there, is beyond your capabilities. Ellis, figure out what's out there and then only take your step. Leonardo, can you tag along Ellis? If Luke was here I wouldn't ask you but now you're the only one whose power is of the level to fight."

"No, Edward. I don't plan on attending Leonardo's funeral after this. He goes out, he's not coming in. Just have to know what's outside so I can tackle accordingly."

Just then Sam gets a telepathy message from Luke. Sam says "Ellis, Luke and the boys are outside. It's the vamp-wolves, they've come back."

"Great, Sam, tell Luke to take care. Those vamp-wolves are possessed. And, they are not the ones we fought. And that basilisk also."
