Were-Beasts
Another type of beasts suddenly appeared from the rear, looking like a combination of dragons and wild animals.
They had four horns each, on their foreheads and very strong teeth. Their front teeth could smash a large wolf at once, into pieces.
I only noticed all these because I was watching closely.
“Hey!” I shouted to them trying to signal to come close to my side. I had no idea of why I wanted that.
One of them motioned to me in agreement, and stalked towards me, with another beast with a bottle of water and another that contained red wine.
“Hey, you werewolf!”
“And, you uncommon and untidy beast!” I replied jokingly.
“What do you mean?” The first one questioned me in anger.
“I was only kidding with one of my non-human fellows.”
“Werewolf, we know no jokes!” The monsters echoed bluntly.
“Oh, I didn’t know that earlier!” I revealed and pleaded.
The two beasts did not seem to understand me. So, I came to discover that they don’t respect jokes or any unreal funny actions or some sort of comic relief.
After ruminating on this, I got to know that, because of the first visitor beast; in his facial and behavioral reaction, I saw displease.
Next, I pleaded with them in a subtly sarcastic manner and tried to have what they carried in their hands.
“Can I help with your loads?” I requested.
Despite all my persuasive requests, these strange monsters still didn’t reveal the implication of their contact with the bottles of water and wine.
The next thing I saw them do was, move away from me, not marrying along what they brought. Even the precious stones I secretly found in their bags was dropped behind – it didn’t seem like they actually forgot to leave without those things.
After seeing them off upon their plea, I waited to watch what would happen next. I was expecting at least one of them, to turn back and perform some stranger signalling activity at me.
Yes, I thought well!
The beasts stopped at a near junction and waited there for long. It was as if they were expecting some kind of a more powerful creature coming or falling down from heaven.
I closed my eyes for few seconds and turned my back to the scene, to quickly settle some things, so I brought out my phone and dialled Diana.
“Hello, babe?”
“Hello, sweetheart!”
“How have you been? And, how’s your health?”
“I’m fine, Herdy” Diana replied bluntly.
“Are we fighting?” I asked her.
I had noticed that, it was whenever I sounded naughty to Diana that she would refuse to call me a lover name and go for my original name instead.
“No, babe,” she said.
“Okay, see you later then!”
“See you soon though….” She returned, and ended the call.
Was I really going to see her soon as she said? Was Diana really going to come to my place that fast? Was she going to fly? How come? Well, I wanted to know.
So, I faced that monstrous spot again, only to find myself surrounded by numerous creatures!
I shook my head from where I was, and it sounded very loudly – as if a bell was rung in my ears.
“What’s wrong? What if I call Diana again?” I asked myself, almost feeling worried or baffled.
I decided to give her a second call; she even loved receiving such from me, especially if it was repetitive or better, if it was done continually.
How Diana would come soon was now my concern, for a long period of time, but a thought stroke my mind! I planned to call out her name and evoke her imaginary powers, which she always boasted of.
So, I moved to a spot, tightened my thick belt and got ready to let out a shout of her name.
There is something attached to her name, which I knew would come to my aid. Diliunis were known for their special characteristics, especially for names.
“Diana looks like the Queen in my memory!” I exclaimed, not targeting anybody to have a direct response from. I was even turning my back to the monsters.
“Queen of?” One of the monstrous beasts asked me, as if I was speaking with them.
Next, I held my back to a pillar, and was expecting them to leave, as well showing them how tired I had become. They only did worse; the horns they had on their heads made them stronger, and I knew it.
Then, another spoke to me wittily, “I have somewhere to take you, man.”
Immediately, I understood that what he said could help me, in fact I was ready to align with the symmetry of the situation. So, I decided to follow suit.
Perhaps I would meet with Diana, who knew that? Maybe I would know the Queen of the Sea? I was not prepared to go with them, but was interested, and so I agreed.
“No matter what, I’m all ready!” I responded calmly.
“Whoa!” The first monster hawled for amazement, “you really want to go with us?!”
“Yes!” I replied.
“But, do you know one Helena?”
“I can only remember that Clara had a sister… and, she…” I blabbered, but as I quickly looked up at the beasts, they dragged me up and flew with strange wings as we traveled to another world.
Down we dropped!
“We are in Plinigola now!” The first beast stated, as he pointed the lady to me, baking and making doughs.
“I hope they don’t appear today” Helena muttered.
“Just a moment!” A voice from behind was heard. She kept silent and didn’t move an inch. It was believed by her that, whenever she was quiet about such strange noise, nothing else would make her fear and next scenes would be erased.
“But, I hope the full moon is not yet out…” She muttered to herself, again.
Helena was not really scared of the forest wolves and beasts, but she always hated to see any of them, so she wasn’t expecting the moon to appear larger than the sun.
She was also a cool Luna type who loved to have little heat in her body, in contrast with the other female icons in that large forest.
“I think it’s time I crawled into my holes…” She said.
So, Helena undressed and went into her cage, which was constructed by an unknown person. She liked staying indoors where there would be some heat to burn away excessive cold, in her body.
“I don’t have the energy to bake bread this night, I hope my visitor comes again to help me” Helena wished.
She rose up from her old wooden bed and tried to cook something, but she collapsed.
“Oh, I thought I could… At least, a little” she said.
“Beautiful!” A voice was heard again. She went for the door to see if the voice was coming from nearby or afar, to know what she would do. When she reached the door, she saw no one and heard no further utterance.
“But I didn’t fear, did I?” She wondered.
“You did! You actually did!” The same voice spoke again and again.
“Come out, if you dare!” Helena exclaimed almost angrily.
“It’s time to show you that I’ve been looking for your life!” The voice returned.
“Whatever! Just come out!”
Two minutes later, no one or nothing appeared. Everywhere was just as it was, earlier. Helena had forgotten about the voice and whether it would feature in form of a human, or a beast.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“My dreams, be sweet…”
“What dreams?!” The voice countered.
“Oh, you’re still here?”
“Yes, I’m waiting for your approval to come down there!”
“There’s no need for that!”
“There wouldn’t have been, if you are not the future Luna of the Prince of southern Numbia…”
“Wonderful, then”
“May I come now, to meet my one and only secret jewel?”
“Your jewel?”
“Of course, I am yours for now!”
“I won’t give you the approval to have me as yours, but to visit, there’s no problem about that” Helena stated.
But, why?”
“I belong to someone at the moment!” Helena shouted.
She wasn’t going to agree with the voice especially because it didn’t appear as she had expected. It was only a voice she was hearing, and to her, she wouldn’t afford to submit to just any strange voice from nowhere.
“If I appear to you, will you accept me as I am?” The voice asked.
“As long as you’re normal, but I won’t still give you my heart.”
“What precious heart you have!” That voice exclaimed and then stopped.
As soon as Helena was tracing the voice to my side, she noticed me and the beasts who brought me, on top on where I stood.
“Herdy Moderno?” She cried out loudly.
