Chapter One
“Arghhh!!! Take that you bastard!”
A jet of blood surged into the air, some splashing on my face and making its way into the small opening of my mouth. It tasted salty, the immortal beast had some blood in him after all, I dived my sword deeper into the torso of the gigantic snake beast.
I have been hunting this beast for quiet sometime with no avail , this sneaky snake beast. Luck is on our side when I set him a trap and it worked.
Slowed my foot steps ,shushed My dog and horse , the beast was feeding greedily on the antelope I set up in the heart of the thick forest.
*smack!*
I smashed the beast’s rough edged tail,which I tried to stop from hitting me from behind with my metallic soled shoes, making the snake beast let out a loud painful hiss with a renewed determination glistening in his eyes.
Heard a painful whimper from behind ,turned to check and in that instant ,I felt a resounding bang behind my head making me loose ground and tripping but widen my stance in order not to fall.
One of my rules when fighting is never to fall flat out on the ground and to always have my sword at hand so I straightened my legs and used my sword as support to make me stop from fighting as I turn to see the big snakes mouth widely open with two sharp long teeth and a long spiky looking tongue diving towards my face.
Too stunned at how dangerous the beast look at the moment that I didn’t realize how close he was to my face till I felt a moist yet spiky feeling on my cheeks but it was gone immediately Hector flew by, swiping the beast with his wagging tail.
“Good boy Hector !”
I said to my dog cheering him to continue with the same enthusiasm and skill he had shown just as I regained my ground and use my strength to dive the sword right into the distorted beasts mouth and he let out a wild wailing, swishing his big body from side to side .
“Oh no? The sword doesn’t seem to kill him because the wounds gets healed right back !”
Darn it. I tied my cloak on my arms tightly and dived towards him again but this time around , really fast with the aim of cutting off the beast’s neck off but he was too fast and getting too wild by the seconds ,the beast’s tail had me flying and hitting my head on a huge tree , held unto my sword and was about to charge when I heard my horse close by bleaching and humping on his feet.
“Don’t worry buddy, we will take him out as usual !” I said trying to look at the beast from behind , every beast should have a weak spot but this one seems to be a more stubborn specie, those messengers of the elites better pay me extra for getting myself injured.
After taking a deep breath, I ran ahead with a full force , my sword rustling with anticipation as I focused on the spot I suspect to be the place the beast’s heart is supposed to be.
*Arghhhhhh*
*hisssshhhh*
*boom!*
And with a loud *swish* the beast’s tongue swiped me so hard that I landed behind my horse with a crackling sound bringing down some branches from the shrubs around me, damn it.
That caught me off guard.
“I broke a bone!“ I winched .This is definitely not an ordinary beast, the tongue is unusually long and snakes with those sharp canines are new. I took cover behind my big black horse while the beast rattled around trying to spot me .
Used my cloak to clean off the sweat mixed with blood dropping down from my damped hair but my horse wouldn’t stop moving around,the sound making the beast turn towards us,towards me …
Hector was a few meters away nursing some kind of injury while the snake with an arrogant glare dive right towards us with a incredible speed.
I immediately dropped my sword and lunched for the bow and arrow strapped on my horse , and with a tang …aimed and shot two arrows at him just before his tongue smashed at us as the beast let out a loud growl and an electric spark went through it immediately the arrow hit making it fall with a thud
“Move buddy!” I shouted at my horse as we tried to get away from the gigantic beast’s weight but with a whop , the stinking ,rough bodied beast feel on us …eyes shut and body still.
Hector came and sniffed the beast before barking toward me.
“He is dead!” I groaned with relief as Hector dragged me from the dirty beast with his teeth while I kept lying down trying to calm my ragged breathing.
“Buddy,why will you do me like that? I teased my horse who moved and let the beast’s body hit only me”
“That was fun boys” I said to the the shadow of Hector and my horse standing over me as I tried to get up with another crackle sound on my back.
Definitely cracked a bone,need to get my bone checked but first, I need to get paid. Might ask for more gold coins, this particular beast caused me some broken bones and I will need more gold coins...to pay for the treatment of course.
Turned around to check the two soldiers whom approached me with an offer but they weren’t anywhere to be found.
“Hector ?!” I asked and he whimpered looking back at me before attempting to fly but he also let out a little growl.
Moved closer and checked his wings , they were strong and not to big but enough to carry his body.
“Would be nice if you can fly all three of us Hector” I teased as he barked back a reply while I removed a sharp teeth from his wings as he remained stilled.
“Flying to save me out there was impressive ,keep it up Hector…just ,what else can you do?” I wondered playing with his fur as I applied pressure at the point of injury, so far it’s not looking poisoned or too bad.
*Niegh!!!*
We both leaped at alert ,Hector running ahead of me as we run towards the edge of the forest to see the three men who were supposed to confirm the beast’s death before paying me running away on their horses.
I gave out a growl.
No one owes me, Hector will trace their smell and I will get my gold coins but for now. I need a long sweet bath ,it might ease with the crackling pain I’m feeling right now.
I turned around and dragged my sore ass back to the horse ,picked our supply …strapped my bow and arrow and climed the horse,turned back and saw the beast already decaying while we head with my companion towards my favorite part of this forest.
The water fountain of Nirvana, I hardly use the word “beautiful “ but this place is actually “beautiful “ with the water making a calming sound when flowing down and the Little Rock’s around the stream running serving as resting places.
My favorite part is the fruits, different kind of trees produce fruits that I occasionally pick and fill my wrap bag before going on missions.
Dropped down from my house, took two whole apples and a gulp of water from the flowing stream before giving Hector and buddy a quick bath.
Washed my sword and sharpened it, counted my gold coins to make sure they are still intact before going to a cave behind the mountain to take a quick nap while our things get dry.
At dusk , with most of my energy restored. Hector and I set out to the nearby city of Garfield to get my back my payment with a “canine tooth” of the beast as evidence
But first I need to see their local healer to check my bones, to b ready just incase I end up into another fight.
But then I noticed that the people of the City of Garfield were looking at us … we normally get odd looks but this time it feels different.
The looks of terror and of disgust were written all over their scared faces as they make way for us to pass.
“Awful creature “
“Is he also a beast?”
“Look at that huge horse and unusual dog!”
“Is that the demon?”
Chapter Two I ignored the annoying looks and whispers, I have heard worse than this and I enjoy it when people fear me. Need to check my body, get my money and I’m out. They won’t see me again, there are a lot of territories out there. It’s high time , I move even though I will greatly miss fountain Nirvana. “Hey jerk!” I shouted at a young boy bullying his friend who immediately ran away when the bulky turned to look at me . “Where is the healer’s place?” I asked as all eyes were at him, the skinny tall boy winched and ran away without a backward glance. “Hmmm” I sighed looking around , a healer’s place shouldn’t be hard to find on my on. Edged Hector to go on as I moved into the heart of the city witch was so busy with trading affair till our presence was noticed. The whispers continued , something is definitely wrong. With a straight face, head held high and a sneering mean looking Hector we continued moving ignoring them. The city looks bigger than expected and it
Chapter Three This place is beautiful but I won’t be deceived , I have come across so many wired and mystical things to know an illusion when I see one. This looks heavenly and it can be heaven because even if I die today, I’m not making it to heaven because I kill to live. “Show yourself!” I said taking in my surrounding with a protective and alarmed stance noticing that my horse and Hector were left behind. If this is heaven,Hector deserve to be in it.There was still no response , I’m a man of few words so I kept quiet and let the people that got me into this place show themselves. It’s a good thing the lady made that Nana heal me, I feel a robust boost of energy and even a sword fighting war will just be fine right at this moment. I stepped foward into regal high buildings while taking in the bright colors , fresh fruits and the bouquet of different kinds of food were kept at the far end of the table with no one there. I could perceive the delicious smell of the turke
Chapter Four Kingdom Of Asgard: Kate’s POV “All hail Asgard!” “All hail the Queen!” “All hail Asgard!” “All hail the terrain of the angels!” The courtroom filled with the loyal and noble citizens of Asgard ruled by Queen Catherine the first of the house of Webster as they all gathered to witness the birthday and official coronation of the heir to the throne.I am Queen Catherine the fifth, fondly called Kate by the Queen of Asgard, my mother.I kept smiling at my people with a little wave of hand, just the way I was trained and brought up to play my role as a proper future Queen should do clad in my extremely tight golden corset with matching large skirt stacked with thousands of diamond pieces and golden rare gems. My curly full long red hair was neatly packed in a tight bun ,atleast that is out of the way with only a golden earring gifted by my father before he died as jewelry. The officiating priest in his royal robe stretched out the golden septer as I moved forward towa
Chapter Five “Think about the chest of gold coins you will get,you have till tomorrow. The Elites will be indebted to you” He said without waiting for my response when he showed me the lady I need to kill. All thoughts of Harem vanish when the beautiful lady in a blue cloak’s face shows in thin air before vanishing. “I won’t do it! I am a beast slayer and don’t touch humans” “Don’t enrage the Elites you poor nobody” The bastard of an Elite in a blink brought me back out in front of the palace without paying me where my horse and Hector jerked up, Hector running to hug me. “Calm down buddy, I’m safe,let’s go home” We walked back to the fountain of Nirvana without wired looks ,since it’s almost midnight. I sighed and laid down on my back in the cave looking at the full moon ,the sky was clear with the stars shining brightly but that didn’t help with my mood at all, deep in thought. “The woman in the blue cloak helped me out there with the healer , she is human and see
Chapter Six Kingdom Of Asgard: Queen Kate’s POV “Don’t worry, the Queen will have everything under control “ he said but his voice carried so much weight than he let on. “It’s bad right?” He kept quiet ,looking at me with a distant look. “Why do they want me ?” I asked him and he cleared his throat. “It’s normal for enemies to attack during celebrations,when they know that the Kingdom won’t be on guard” “Lying to your Queen is the treason “ his eyes widened at my tone but darn it, I need answers! That’s why I needed to know those secrets but no, they kept prosponding it and now I feel like a dumb clueless Queen. He made his mouth as if to say something but kept quiet when we heard footsteps. “Your highness” said Knight Luca saluting with 3 soldiers behind him. “Here to protect you my Queen “ “I should be protecting you all! Get me my armour and dress, I need to be there” “My Queen please calm down and act rationally “ said the Elite and I closed my eyes to take a
Chapter Seven Damien Black’s POV I tried to ignore the feel of my her torso against mine, she is a total stranger. We shouldn’t be doing this and not when I am supposed to kill her. “Maybe we shouldn’t “ I said in ragged tone , knowing that she can obviously feel my hard on when she presssed her soft body to mine and the things her hand did to my hair were knee weakening. “It’s alright Damien the beast slayer” she said ,walking away with so much self confidence and aura of authority ,swaying her delicate hips . Just like that? “Where are you going and how did you find me?” She ignored me and continued moving towards the fountain when I slowly followed her, checked around. She’s not with her men and totally unarmed. She stood under the flowing fountain when she bent down and gently took her last piece of clothing off.Oh shot. I turned back ,biting my teeth but I couple times control it and had to turn and look the deep breaths and 1-10 counting didn’t work. It’s been quite
Chapter Eight Damien Black’s POV “What the fuck princess?!” I shouted ,putting my hands up and looking at the three men surrounding my head with their sword and arrows, Princess… I mean the blue cloaked woman pointing the small sharp looking dagger in hare slender hands firmly to the pulse point on my neck. “Shit!” I growled! My instinct were right and why didn’t Hector barked or warned me?! I thought trying to look around for the horse and Hector. “Or your dog is doing great, being obedient under my charm… you should focus on your last breath “ “Where did all these men come from and I thought we had a good time yesterday?!” I said looking into her still innocent looking eyes. “Oh yes, yesterday was an amazing Beast slayer . Seems like you’re good at being a beast somewhere else too” she mocked with that alluring voice. How can someone be this sweet and cruel at the same time. I took a deep breath ,while seizing the men up and coming up with a calculative escape plan. “Why a
Chapter Nine Damien Black’s POV “What in bloody hell do you want from me?!” I asked again trying not to look at the annoying smirk on his face. “Hell, isn’t that where you from huh?” I ignored him and tried to stand up but winced in pain. But the Elite of Gerald who appeared from nowhere looked really pleased at the dead body of princess before they settled on mine again. “Good job, I underestimated you” I kept ignoring him, trying to put more pressure on the wound to reduce the bleeding. “ I didn’t kill her for you” I said spitting out blood. “Regardless, you know she is a siren hybrid .Half human ,half mermaid …poor thing it’s good that she is disposed off without fully knowing her powers and roots. She has the ability to charm or enchant anyone that’s why most bounty hunters get lured by her and forget their mission” “I am not a bounty hunter but a beast slayer ,you evil old man and she is not a beast” “But you slayed and oh, don’t you know that her mother was one o
