"HEEEEEEEEEELPPPP"
Screamed a man as he got lifted off the ground by two Harpies. It was as if the two birds with the face of that of a woman were trying to snatch the body of the poor man to one another. They ended up tugging at both ends.
"NOOOOOOOOO... Please... Someone... Please make them stoooooooppppp!"
The man keeps on shouting as pain assaulted his body. His cry was a mix of pain and agony. Yet no matter how hard he cried for help, it was to no avail. Everyone was busy defending themselves from the sudden onslaught of these said harpies.
Audrey, on the other hand, decided that she can't watch idly as she saw the man being tortured like that.
" Nero!!! Quick... help him...."
[I'm sorry, Audrey but I cannot. That man over there is a warlock he must have other means to survive. But you, you on the other hand don't have any
That scene of the man mercilessly being torn into half will haunt Audrey on the nights to come and it only goes without saying that it will be one of her darkest nightmares at that. The shrill voice continues to resound at the ship's deck. But it was hard to discern whether the sound was still coming from the Harpies or if it is already the scream of the warlocks who unfortunately fall victim to this onslaught of Harpies. A few Harpies will occasionally look at Audrey's side but as soon as they saw her, they will scrunch their face as if they were disgusted by her sight.HUH! How dare you use that disgusted expression over me????"You are the one disgusting!!YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS DISGUSTING!!!!!Audrey should be happy that the Harpies have no plan of attacking her right???? But she can't help but gnash her teeth due to anger whenever she saw their expressi
"What are you doing??? Get away from here!"Prince Niccoli try to push away the stranger who uses its own body as a shield to block the attack of the harpies. Everything happens so fast! He saw the same harpy who took his wand launch an attack aiming to scratch him, but before it could even land, the stranger put himself between them and the harpies. As a result, the harpy managed to scratch the forearm of the stranger. Yet for some unknown reason, instead of frantically attacking them after the first successful scratch, the harpies halted their onslaught. The harpy who manage to scratch the stranger shriek and flew away in panic. While the remaining harpies crumple their nose upon the sight of the blood. They also flew away one by one! It seems like the Harpies were so disgusted at the presence of the blood and they cannot stand the sight of it. Yet this idea seems absurd and contradicting cause the harpies have been wreaking havoc for quite some time now that
[You stubborn, stinky, little brat!!!! You really deserved a good spanking from this cute little paws of mine!]He was caught off guard by Audrey's sudden action. He never expected her to jump away from his protection so he fails to react on time. Nero can't understand why Audrey did that. As far as he knows, this little girl was not that heroic nor dauntless in nature. Or maybe he was wrong???? After all, it was Audrey who also save him way back on the verge of drowning when he was still a kitten."I don't know what comes to my mind either. I just suddenly feel like I was compelled to protect him. Then before I knew it, I was already shielding him away from the harm."Just like her cat, Nero, Audrey also doesn't know what exactly makes her do that."Last time I check, this Prince Niccoli and I were like oil and water. We never get along well. But I think maybe because I used to know him???
"Are you sure this one is potable???? Don't you think this one expired already??? I think the water inside already gone bad.""Ahem... You are kidding right???? HEHE"Prince Niccoli was not sure what to say. He did not expect that this stranger could be more strange than he thought. How could water expire in the first place???? And what does he mean the water inside had gone bad????What inside is definitely not water. It's a wine!!! For crying out sake!Listening at the side, Prince Nike realized where the problem lies."This good gentleman over there, I suppose this is your first time tasting wine. Is that right????""Yeah?????"Audrey's expression started to turn weird as realization dawn on her.[This poor, soul. TO be honest, at this point I could no longer decide if I should regard you as innocent or simply food. I wonder how you were able to
Being playful and childish in nature, Prince Niccoli continue to admire the end result of the HEAVENLY WINE. He earnestly observes Audrey's forearm in amazement. He was not even satisfied so he tries to poke the skin that used to be bleeding. Prince Niccoli did not mind his action towards Audrey. After all, he thought that the stranger opposite him was a man as well. So he doesn't find his action of anything malicious. Being the elder brother, Prince Nike felt embarrassed for his younger brother's behavior instead. He casually hooks his right arm to Prince Niccoli's neck trying to drag him away."Oh by the way... I haven't got your name. As my savior, I should have at least know your name. So that I can repay you in the future. My name is Niccoli, and this over here is my elder brother, Nike. We are from the kingdom of Corona. How about you?"Shook!Who am I?!!!I have not thought about it yet.
Since both of the cats belonged to same ancient specie of cats, it did not take that long for Nero and Monami to find each other and meet again. Tracking each other's scents was all it takes for antediluvian cats to sense another presence of their kinds. Likewise, under the shade of the moonlight, the small cat that looks like a cotton was gazing on the stars. Facing her back at the approaching figure of Nero. Nero exhales a mouthful of air, relaxing. It was like he was attending his first date. He gently walks towards Monami, calling its name using the sweetest voice that he can muster.[Monami.....]The snowy white little cat, on the other hand, slowly turns her head. Her sparkling two-color eyes reflected the stars in the sky.[Nero!]Nero and Monami met and stared at one another. Looking at their reflection on each other's eyes. The cold breeze of the night brushes their soft fur and the gentle swaying
"The night is getting late now, Monami, we better get going inside and catch some sleep. You can just check out each other tomorrow morning. But for now, we have to go."As he said that, Prince Niccoli picks his cat carefully and hug it in his arms. Seeing that the cute little black cat had no intention of living, he patted its fur head."I'm sorry to interrupt you guys. But don't worry you can see each other and play tomorrow. Okay? We got to go."[Tsss. This little lad sure knows how to get the best timing to spoil our romance as always.]Nero badly wanted to pout at this moment, but to save his image in front of his lover, he tried his best to fight the urge. He took one last glance at Monami and winked before he walks away. Leaving Prince Niccoli and Monami. When he was not too far away from where the prince and his cat were standing, Monami called him.[Keep saf
The ship heading to the Iridos was a smooth sailing one. Audrey and Nero breathe a sigh of relief for this one. At least, they have less to worry about. At first, they thought that their journey to this unknown water will be riddled with hardships especially because the stormy night way back during their departure seems to be a bad omen; signaling that something unpleasant or unwanted was about to happen. But three months had passed already since they left the land. It was about time for them to see the Iridos, finally!"Hmm... I wonder how long will it take for us before we were able to set foot at the Iridos."Audrey blurted out as she greedily inhaled the fresh air. She was standing at the edge of the ship's deck with the railings supporting her lower body, preventing her to fall as she leans on it and spread her arms wide as if she was welcoming an embrace."This was so refreshing... Thank God, we are safe and everyt
