He had Akata standing in front of him. Little kids don't understand politics very well nor do they understand the changing dynamics of relationships along with that political shift . The Third Fox prince was still his uncle and his parents had emphasized well that he aught to be nice to his family. He had no idea he was facing a batant enemy. " Stand still! "The third prince commanded as he prepared to chop his little head off with his own hands. The mourns and sobs were increasing as more and more of the common Fox population began gathering. There was tsunami of murmur building but the first one who could break that dam of silence was still missing. The bodies of the protestors that the third prince killed, were still shivering and bleeding infront of them. " Put your head here you little bastard. "Commanded the one who wished to win over the population with fear for himself in their heart and little, innocent Akata obediently followed his order as everyone gasped. The third
" Crystal! "The Wolf King had several of the undeads, leeched onto his body, but he didn't care. The scenario that his eyes were witnessing, made a shiver of joyous pain, run all over his veins. Crystal, his beloved Crystal was standing in front of him. But she wasn't the Crystal he had known or seen. She was in her true form, the ethereal mer-queen. She had a power ord circulating around both her hands and with every punch she dealt in the air, the undeads went reeling back inside the pit they were crawling out from. The intensity of the shock wave was sending those leeches flying in every direction. She had her eyes locked on the Wolf King and with one blast the ones around him were gone. He ran towards her, before she could come to him. The Wolf King scooped her up and pressed her close. At last, they were in each other's arms, a tender collision that transcended time and space. The Wolf King's strong embrace enveloped the Mer-queen, his rough hands cradling her delicate form
***Somewhere in the middle of nowhere***"It feels good to be alive, doesn't it son? "The original serpent coiled his way away from the Great Serpent and hissed as his son chased after him. " You know, you cannot escape me. I will get you and drag you to that hell hole, where you actually belong. "He whisked a ring of fire around the original serpent, trying to trap him, but tripped. The original serpent had again tricked him with his visual imagery. " Hhhhmmm, the air in this era feels so fresh, so unadulterated... Let me fix that. "And he blew his deadly venom in circles, as if dancing to a symphony, all across the field. It was deadly but the Great Serpent knew it was a trap. His father was planning to disappear on him the moment he rushed to contain that. The world had to suffer a little. It was a compromise. Little did the two of them know, that they were heading towards the Sacred Lands. ***At the Ancient Well***"She has gone for hours. Should we not at least go down an
***Crystal with Mia and Boshu//Stuck at thevoid between the land of the dead and the living because they were exposed to the poison from the underworld, before the barrier collapsed***" Mia, you are the only one amongst the living who has seen the Tree of Knowledge, with her living eyes. "Mia heard her mother's voice in a whisper in her deep sleep. She wanted to move and ask her more about it. She wanted to ask her mother how she was doing and tell her how much she missed her but she could not move her limbs. They felt like solid boulders, immobile. " M... Mother... "She tried to yell, yet nothing came out of her mouth. " Shhhh, Mia, only listen. You are still under their influence. They might hear the conversation we are having. They will never let us close this gate. But the barrier between the dead and the living, must be restored. You and I both know what havoc it will cause if the breech is not contained in the earliest. "Mia was slowly understanding the situation. " The G
" And that's how grandfather killed the snake. He kicked him like this on the head and like this on his tail and he flipped him off like this... like this... "Akata was giving a full performance to his little sister, Merindale, Xie and Ruby's daughter. As an older brother, he was on baby sitting duty while the adults were busy, preparing for Xie's coronation ceremony. He couldn't stop telling her the story of their grandfather's bravery, over and over again with a lot of added spices of course and the little girl smiled and giggled, while kicking her hands and legs in the air. It took a lot of convincing for Xie to finally accept his responsibility in their father's absence. He was the worst hit because he was unconscious during the incident. He was unable to forgive himself for being absent and blamed himself for his father's death. ***The first prince had taken the helm of the Fox Kingdom very well. Who would have thought he would make such a fine king. The subjects cherished
“ Where are we going father? ” Akata asked as his little feet struggled to keep up. They did spend some seemingly peaceful years together but it seemed like their trouble had no end. Akata's powers grew with every passing day. What they never expected was that it could possibly one day threaten the Gods in the Celestial Realm. “ Father, please tell me where we are going? I have been walking for days. I am hungry and… and I miss my mother. “It seemed like the poor lad was on the verge of breaking down. But Lin looked at him with a cruel glare. The affection that he once had for his first born was no longer there. “ You miss Mia? Oh! How sweet is that! Let me remind you if you forgot, the Gods took your mother because you could not help but show off your powers. “He grabbed Akata's shoulders and gave it a violent shake.“ We have to keep walking to get your mother and your sister back. Do you understand? “Akata wiped his eyes quickly and shook his head. Mia and Lin had just rec
The school was nothing like it was during the times of Nanako and Jin. It was reconstructed as their memorials by both the foxes and the wolves. It was built across a large area of land, to accommodate students from far and wide. Merindale marveled at its sheer structure once her parents left her at the gates. “ I will manage on my own. Don't embarrass me by coming inside.Please, Mother. ”She pushed Xie out because apparently, she had grown up. It was considered a sign of weakness if parents showed up in class. Merindale was a teenager, she didn't need escorting. The teachers sorted the new students before the start of the assembly and introduced them to their seniors. “ I am hoping you will show them around the school, just like your seniors did. It is their first day. And it's up to you to make them feel welcome and comfortable.”The teacher left Merindale and the other newcomers with the seniors, to interact. As soon as the teachers left, the seniors exchanged a wicked smile.
Akata watched the beautiful creature beside him squirming in pain. Seeing her suffer was uncomfortable . His iris was still adjusting with the light setting in the outside world. But he reached out to her. “ Water… Water… ” Merindale was shivering and begging to be saved. Akata looked around for any water source. He ran up and down the mountain, but not a drop was found. In desperation Akata strained his shoulder to look beyond. And there was the ocean, far away in the horizon. Akata scooped Merindale up in his arms and ran. The pebbles and thorns under his feet did not bother him at all. He ran as if his own life depended on it, hoping that the ocean would come over to him, because Merindale seemed like she wasn't able to breathe. She was hyperventilating. Perhaps because she was heavily dehydrated after coming in contact with the Eternal Flames. Akata was still a few miles away from the ocean but it seemed like the waters could hear his plea.A gigantic wave splashed over them,
