Chapter 17 - BEASTLY TERRITORY

"Shut up, please" Krishna replied, and she rushed into his pocket, her favorite place.

"She's so cute" Ruthie said.

"Thanks, aren't you gonna treat your wounds?" Krishna replied.

"Peony will help me" she said.

"Alright, I'll see you tommorow morning" he replied, and she nodded as he started walking away.

She was walking backwards as she stared at his backside, licking her lips slowly in admiration till she bumped into someone.

"MG!" She gasped, and it turned out to be Ceres.

"Ceres?"

"I should make this clear red girl, Krishna belongs to me and you can't change that fact" Ceres said.

"That's rich coming from someone like you, but you know what? I don't listen to anyone except my mother" Ruthie replied, and Ceres made to come closer, but Ruthie opened her mouth wide.

A ball of fire rolled out, but Ceres was quick to avoid it so it hit a pillar, and the pillar cracked.

"You can't defeat me in a fight, so stay far" Ruthie rolled eyes and entered her room where she met Peony waiting.

"You like Krishna that much? You threatened Ceres cos of him" Peony said.

"The door was closed, how did you..." Ruthie said.

"I can see through doors, one of my powers" Peony replied.

"How cool, where's Sam?" Ruthie asked.

"Probably with Superior Aragon" Peony shrugged.

KRISHNA'S ROOM

Raven was in when Krishna arrived, and Cat jumped on the bed immediately.

"Aren't you going to your room? Don't tell me you're sleeping here again tonight" Krishna said.

"Why else would I be here by this time?" Raven replied, eating a grape.

"Wasn't Superior Orion cool back then? He swallowed a demon's head" Krishna said with a big smile.

"You might fall in love with him at this rate" Raven shook his head.

"I'm not gay, idiot. I'm just amazed, just how powerful is he?" Krishna said.

"He's a wizard, he can be a vampire if he wants to, he can be a ghost, he can be a beast and even a werewolf. He has so many supernatural personalities so you don't expect less from a mythical being like that, but I have a question for you" Raven stood.

"What?" Krishna frowned.

"Do you like Ruthie?" He asked.

Without replying, Krishna entered the bathroom.

"That jerk" Raven muttered.

ARAGON'S ROOM

"You really don't have to do this" Aragon said as Samara began setting the herbs she got from the apothecary on the table.

Aragon is standing beside her.

"You have a wound on your arm and you're planning not to treat it, who does that" Samara replied, pulling him to sit.

"I don't usually treat my wounds, they heal on their own within three days" he said.

"Well I'm here now, and things will change" she replied, and he smiled, taking off his shirt.

The moment she saw his bare body, she swallowed before starting to apply the herbs on his wounded arm.

"You got wounded by his claws" she said, noticing the wound nature

She was expecting him to talk, but he isn't, so she looked up and met him staring.

"Your Superior, you should thank him. He saved you" he said.

"He threw me down after saving me. You're the real savior" she replied, and he locked eyes with her for a bit before looking away.

"But how come he's stronger than you when you're both Superiors?" Samara asked.

"He's the only child born together with his sword, and the sword killed his mother immediately it came out of her. I bet no supernatural being can face him, not even Master Duran himself, unless they find his weakness" he replied.

"He has a weakness?" She asked.

"Yeah, but don't ask me what, cos I dunno" he replied, and she smiled .

"I won't ask"

He returned the smile, and hers grew wider.

••••••••••

Agatha landed in a unbearably calm place, and she stood immediately, tracing her way with her hands as she started moving around.

Gentle breeze is blowing, but even the gentility is awkward. This place is hell and everything about it is pains

Beastly Territory is not for the weak, and now that she's blind, she's hoping she'd be able to make it out alive miraculously, then she can teach Samara a lesson for causing this.

She was still searching for her way with her hand when she stumbled and fell on something.

"What's this?" She muttered, tracing the skin with her palms, and she detected it's a flower tree.

She plucked a rosebud, and immediately she did, the bud began transforming in her palm, and even if she can't see it, she felt the change, and she folded her palm on the bud, but she got stung immediately.

It's a snake!

"Ahh! Father! Father!!!!" She cried loudly as the venom began mixing with her blood.

She threw away the snake immediately, but the serpent crawled back to her, and no matter how much she struggled to shake it off, rolling on the sandy soil, it didn't.

It kept climbing her till it coiled itself on her neck, and it began choking her.

She rolled roughly in the sand, trying to get the snake off, but the more she pulls, the more she gets choked, and she got stung on the neck too.

"Fat...her!!! Help... me!!! Help me!!!!' she cried as another one coiled on her right leg, then another on her stomach.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A RIVER

Princess Mali could be seen sitting silently beside the wide river, her eyes focusing on the currents.

She's obviously sad, and she looks empty inside as she sat hopelessly.

She slowly dipped her leg into the river, and immediately the water touched her, she got burnt on that spot.

"Ahh!" She winced and quickly removed her leg.

She stood and turned to leave, but her eyes widened when she saw Agares behind.

"Agares?" She muttered, and he grabbed her hand.

"Great Queen wants you" he said, and they vanished together, landing back in the coven where Bakasura is waiting.

"You went to the river again?" She demanded.

"I can't help it! It's my original home mother!" Mali replied, and Bakasura sped to her.

"This is your home, nowhere else so think straight once again" she said, locking eyes with her.

"But...

Bakasura grabbed her head immediately, the eyes lock getting more intense as she communicated with her.

"Listen. Tommorow, you'd go to the streets of Delos and find your way into mystic institute" she muttered.

"Tommorow, I'll go to the streets of Delos and find my way to mystic institute" Mali repeated after her, and she smiled before releasing her.

"How will that be possible?" Karazi asked behind, and Bakasura got her staff.

A single wave of it, Mali transformed into a 7 years old kid.

"It's easier this way" Bakasura smiled.

Agares exchanged excited glances with Karazi.

MYSTIC INSTITUTE

It's already 10pm before Samara returned to her room, and immediately she turned on the lights, Orion could be seen sitting on her bed.

"You again?" She said.

"You got bolder, you didn't jump" Orion replied standing up.

She started coming to her, but she summoned her sword and pointed it at him, and he paused

"Get that shitty sword away from my way" he glared.

"No. Who knows what you might do to me the moment I drop it?" She replied.

"I won't give you an easy death like your mother, you don't deserve that" he said, and her eyes widened.

"My mother? What did you do!" She rushed to him.

"Oh...such a loving daughter she has. But what is this shitty necklace on your necks? It brought her back after I killed her, and it brought you back after Agatha killed you. Is there a legend behind it?" He said.

"So you really killed my mother" she muttered disappointedly.

"She refused to tell me if there's another way to cure this shitty wound!" He yelled, raising his shirt from his arm.

"She left me with no choice, and the fact that she woke doesn't mean she's free, I'm still gonna kill her after snatching that necklace away" he said.

"There's no other way except dipping your hand into my blood!" She shouted.

"Which is why I'm here, to dip" he replied, and she blinked.

"Huh?"

"Yeah" he came closer.

"But I'm not on my period" she replied, and he smiled creepily again, making her step back quickly.

His creepy smile always means danger.

"I can make you menstruate, right now" he said, and her eyes widened.

"What!"

"Yeah. I only have to touch your nipple, so don't waste much time. Off your blouse, I'll take off your bra myself" he replied.
