How the hell, it didn't break in the power of thunder, agonized Royston.
Lord, I forgot to mention that the masters family sometimes won't give the impenetrable power to the people or creature, rather they give it to their weapons. That iron ball must be impenetrable, said Demontus.
Then I have a plan, Demontus you rush to Manav and pick him up, myself and fire flyer will take care of him.
Lord Royston signaled to fire flyer and took his turn towards the giant Vathroo, by seeing him approaching, the giant Vathroo spun his iron ball hard enough and targeted Royston, the iron ball approached Royston in the meteoric speed, he rightly bent down and saw the giant ball passing above him by touching his eyelashes. The iron ball hit the nearby massive trees and plucked more than 10 trees along with its root.
The Nature Lord Royston got frustrated by seeing his kids been thrown away by the giant iron ball. He rapidly spun his scepter hard and released the violent wind towards the trees, the trees violently floated in the air and hit the giant Vathroo and blocked his way.
By seeing the agonizing lord, the Vathroo fiercely spun the giant iron ball and released towards Lord Royston, its targeted Lord Royston in the speed of a meteor. Lord Royston eyes was locked into the giant iron ball approaching towards him, but he remained calm, as of like the iron ball is not going to hit him. When the Iron ball was in just a foot gap between Lord Royston, it suddenly dropped to the ground and unveiled the hippogriff to Lord Royston's eyes, it was carrying the tore head of Vathroo in its sharp talon claws.
Wow!! That's a brave move, said Lord Royston and patted the fire flyer. Soon they headed towards Nagamalya to save Leonce.
These two humans are at the critical stage we need to feed the medicine soon, said Demontus.
Here we go. We reached Nagamalya, we will rescue Leonce and head to empyrean camp. But I don't know which creature or individual is waiting here for us to delay our mission, said Royston.
Lord!! That's the Naga camp, let's get down search for Leonce and fly to camp soon, said Demontus.
They went down in foot, left Ameer and Manav on fire flyer and checked for Leonce in the naga camp. The camp looked empty; they were searching in each and every tent for him and finally found him in extreme dangerous condition.
Lord!! Seems like he drank more of the dark toxin, he need to be rescued soon, said Demontus.
Lord Royston lifted the unconscious Leonce and headed towards the fire flyer, but when they reached it wasn't at its place. Royston and Demontus shouted its name, but there is no response from it. They searched for it all over the place and finally halted at a giant mango tree.
Where he went, asked Demontus with a wheeze in his words. Soon some liquid fell on the head of Demontus. He looked up to see whether it's raining. He saw the droplets pouring on him, but they weren't rain droplets, those were the blood droplets of Hippogriff, it has been captured by a gigantic 30feet greenish snake Titanoboa on the tree which is folding it on the branches of the tree. Hippogriff was living in its last minute of its life with the swirling Titanoboa on it. The Titanoboa is swirling hippogriff with extreme force and making it to cough its blood out.
A blood droplet of fire flyer falls into the mouth of Demontus and soon he sees the past event. Within a second after the exit of Demontus and Royston, the Titanoboa attacked the fire flyer from its behind, the fire flyer managed to get out from it with the help of its sharp claws and beak. Carried Ameer and Manav and flew into the jungle, dropped them at the safe place and came back to compete against the Titanoboa, but the snake is huge enough to prison the fire flyer with its swirl.
I am on Ameer and Manav, take it out quickly, I will come back within seconds, said Demontus and ran into the jungle to rescue Ameer and Manav. Meantime Lord Royston faced the Titanoboa and tried saving their pet fire flyer.
Lord Royston hit the tree with extreme force and made the Titanoboa fell down with fire flyer. But, very soon the Titanoboa released the hippogriff and targeted lord Royston with its wide open mouth.
I am going to squeeze you like you did my kid, said Lord Royston and held the frontal teeth of the Titanoboa, when the teeth lets out shiny venomous saliva, he held it firm enough and broke its teeth. Not ended with that, he injected his scepter in his jaws and tore its mouth. The Titanoboa bleeds, but was open to more attacks, raised itself of 30 feet and opened it creepy hood and hissed towards lord Royston.
Lord Royston saw the fire flyer recovering from his wounds, ran towards it with such a force and shouted now!! now!! now!! (Place echoed) and made his stepping on the left wings of fire flyer, soon it pushed its wide wings and helped Lord Royston to flew higher, he sliced the Titanoboa at its center and made it two.
Fire flyer!! Are you alright, asked Royston and saw the right wing of it bleeding, and can't able to make any movements. But it managed to get up and bent down for Royston to get on it. By Picking Royston it slowly clasped its left wing and headed into the jungle, soon Demontus joined them with Ameer and Manav. The brave hippogriff flew towards the empyrean camp with its left wing alone.
They entered the Empyrean camp, the hippogriff fire flyer dropped them and licked Royston.
(Empyreans lifted Ameer, Manav, Leonce and went into the camp)
Oh!! oh!! what happened, why are you showing your enormous love at this time, asked Royston and patted the fire flyer.
(Water Portal appeared near them)
Oh!! it's time for you to leave to your world. Hey wow, look what we got here. Your bleeding stopped on the right wings, now you can fly with both the wings cheerfully said Royston.
Hippogriff fire flyer raised its two wings higher and hugged Royston with his wings.
Okay, go to your place, live your happy life, I will surely call you when I need your help, said Royston and patted the fire flyer and soon it went into the water portal, and Royston went into the camp.
Be careful, Hold his leg, and make him lie next to Ameer, saying Ejeeth.
Seems like Leonce drunk more of the toxin, all the way he is blabbering about his love, will he be okay, asked Royston.
Let’s see, I have prepared some medicines, possibly this must cure them, help me in applying these medicines on them, said Ejeeth.
Ejeeth poured the medicines into the mouths of them, and Royston applied some greenish medical substance on their body. But the trios weren’t allowing him to apply it, the inner toxin started its work inside their body, they began to behave like an animal.
Demontus!! Hold the leg, others hold his hand. Help me to apply the medicine on all over the Leonce body, ordered Royston.
(Godmother Isis came out from the river)
Godmother!! Save my friends, they are acting like an animal, said Royston.
Ejeeth, what happened!! Are they fine, asked Isis.
They are in the critical stage. I have given some tamarind water and applied neem paste on their body, but there is no positive result, replied Ejeeth.
Demontus!! What are the substances you added while preparing the dark toxin, questioned Isis.
Dino tail, the venom of ebra snake, hair of chimpanzee, the blood soaked skin of a rhino, tusks of mammoths, and some mushrooms, responded Demontus.
Mushrooms!! Which mushroom, questioned Isis.
I added the Esampios, said Demontus.
Esampios can’t be cured with standard medicine, we need the Emplica flowers, said Isis.
But godmother, the season is going to end. There must be only one or two flowers in Empyrea. In the short time how we could able to find it, asked Ejeeth.
Ejeeth!! There comes the prince, seems like he brings something for us, said Royston.
(Phoenix bird came down and sat on Isis shoulder, it was biting the bunch of Emplica flowers in its beak)
This is why he is the prince, applauded Isis.
Ejeeth!! Don’t delay any further, smash the flower and feed them, we are running out of time, ordered Isis.
Ejeeth without delaying, took the flower and smashed it, extracted the liquid sub
stance, added some neem extracts and started giving to Ameer and Manav. In this meanwhile when he gives the Emplica medicine to Manav, Leonce who is next to Manav went abnormal.
Lee grunts and groans. His muscles spread like a rash on the bone as he twists and turns. Lee screams in dire pain. He struggles against his restraints as his skin liquefies into a muscular mass. It's like something's eating away at him. Gruesome!! His yells become louder and more painful to hear. His human skin started to rip off. A pulse of dark black in the base of his skull sends dark black energy shooting through his body, his skin floods with black from top to bottom, spreading from the base of his skull as the dark toxin shoots out of his brain. Lee’s body starts to swell and stretch and harden.
His round eye pupils turned elliptical, his tooth started to turn sharper.
Leonce!!! Leonce!!! Drink the medicine, Control yourself, fight with this creature and bring out yourself, hollered Royston and fed the medicine to him.
But there is no response from Leonce, slowly his physical appearance started to change.
(Started raining)
Godmother!! The Emplica medicine began its work in Ameer and Manav, they will be normal within an hour, but it’s not working in Leonce. I fear that we may lose him, said Ejeeth.
Ejeeth!! What you mean by losing Leonce!! I need him alive once again as the human. He is the sportive person I have ever met, please save him god mother, requesting Royston.
Leonce turned dark black in color, his heart started beat 5times faster than the human heart, and his muscles became muscular like the muscles of the mighty Mastodon. Lee gave an unbelievable roar of rage and hurled away from the people who were holding him. The people felt a power like a hit and thrown by a mastodon.
Meanwhile, Demontus is in a different mood, it doesn’t know how to react to the situation, it’s just staring at everyone. It’s staring the tensed Royston, blabbering Manav, uncontrollable Leonce, and the tensed Ejeeth. By seeing this Demontus thought, I am not in a situation to help you people!! Please pardon me, lord.
At a point, Demontus noticed the godmother who is looking at it for a longer time.
(Godmother Isis chuckled by seeing Demontus)
Demontus!! Demontus!! Words came from the mouth of the godmother Isis.
(Demontus walked towards Godmother)
Meanwhile, everything got paused. The flying birds are at the same place even on their flight. The people who were hurled by Leonce are still in the air. The river Isis paused its flow. The bird phoenix has got paused while stretching its wings. The surrounding people stood like statues. The violent Leonce also got paused while the dark creature is ready to dominate him. And even the rain droplets were standing at the same positions. Indeed, the entire galaxies got paused, but not Demontus and godmother Isis.
Demontus!! This is the first time I am seeing the tears coming from the eyes of a dark warrior, said godmother Isis.
Godmother!! I feel emotional. I didn’t see anyone who cares for others living in my world. We used to kill people in a matter of a second, and after that, we didn’t even care about the dependents of them too. But these humans and the empyreans are so caring to one another without any blood relationship. Everyone here is giving their full effort to save these humans, saying Demontus.
Demontus!! You aren’t the evil creature, indeed no one is bad in the production of god. The right or wrong depends upon the leader who leads them. You people were known for serving your masters faithfully. Some masters manipulated you and started using your people for evilness. This is the time to rectify it Demontus, are you ready?
Godmother!! I can’t understand your words. What I could do, asked Demontus.
The dark toxin was prepared by you, the foremost essence of the toxin may be the esampios, but it turned as dark toxin because of your blood drop. If you really want to help these people take your blood out of his body, said Isis.
Godmother!! How I could betray my master, then he won’t give the order of death. And moreover, if I suck my blood from the body of this human, the inner toxin may affect me, and then I will never get an order of death from my master, said Demontus.
The fate has been already written in everyone’s head, they will deserve only the things wrote for them. The war between Empyrea and Emrath will happen for sure, in this epic, you will be remembered as a key person for your faithfulness for waiting for more than 5000years and releasing your masters from the curse. You are the key reason and the fate decider of this war. Likewise, the god as written something else in your fate, that event will be remembered by every people on all the planets in the universe, and they will praise you even after 1000years. Take your decision soon, said Isis and blessed Demontus with her hand.
Everything got released from pause and came normal. The birds started to fly, river Isis began to flow, the people thrown by Leonce dropped on the floor and hollered in pain.
We need to kill him for the safety of Empyrea, said Ejeeth.
No need for that!!! I will bring him back, said Demontus and kept its mouth on the left leg of Leonce and sucked out the dark toxin from his body. While sucking his blood, Demontus saw his own past events, it started at the dark steep mountain place in his dark world, Demontus as a kid playing with rhino like dark creatures and feeding them some silver like liquid, next his visualization was in Empyrea as a young dark warrior struggling to survive in the middle of the creepiest creatures of Empyrea.
In the interim, the violent of Leonce got reduced, and his eye pupils turned normal like a human. Everyone got surprised with the move of Demontus, but not the godmother, she chuckled and jumped into the river.
Thanks a lot, Demontus!! We nearly lost him. You saved him like a god, said Royston.
Yes Demontus, your days are going to turn good. Ok, let these people take the rest. They will be coming to consciousness only after 4hours, said Ejeeth.
Soon the empyreans lifted Ameer, Manav, Leonce and took them to their huts for their comfort and for feeding them with other medicines. Except Demontus, everyone left the place. It was in a different mood because the things are new to it. It went to the river and watched its appearance.
The next day morning, Leonce woke up in the empyrean hut, looked all over the hut and the hut was empty. At first he was confused as to how the naga tent changed to a hut but then he tried remembering what had happened. The events flowed into his mind one by one as short video clips.
Oh…!! Oh…!! My head…!! Oh….!! It pains a lot, what a horrible nightmare. Shit..! If I were in my home, I would have drunk some whiskey for curing this headache. At least there is something to soothe my aching head, let me indulge myself in this lovely river here. What continues to puzzle me though is how I got to this empyrean hut, thought Lee and came out of the hut.
Outside the hut things were getting out of hand and were pretty abnormal in the empyrean camp. The once calm camp of the Empyreans turned aggressive and was fired up for tasting victory. The empyreans got ready for war in order to safeguard Empyrea from the cruel hands of the Tyrant family.
Each and everyone took ownership and were preparing for the battle of their lives. They were practicing real hard, with some sharpening and polishing the weapons on one hand and others practicing with their swords and training the rest. Few of them were riding the mastodons and facing them singlehandedly. This scene showed how critical victory was for them in this war.
What the **** is this….! How did I ever get to the empyrean camp? Where is my scepter? Was I captured by these people last night…? But why is there no lock in my hands and any soldiers outside the hut!! Somehow I need to find my scepter and escape from this place, thought Leonce and started to move forward. Hardly had he taken a step when he could felt the sharp point of a sword on his back.
Where are you rushing you back stabber, is there an emergency? We can’t let you go that easily, most definitely not without a fight. Turn towards me. Said the voice from behind and the voice was that of Manav.
