I forgot how much I loved the wind in my face and the adrenaline pumping through my veins. This is the only time I have ever felt I was free. The beast was growing excited as well since it had been so long since I released her bonds. She was now free. I decided to stop by the river for the night to set up camp and begin to lay my trap. If the bounty hunters wanted me then here I am. I had just finished setting up the camp fire when a twig snapped in the darkness. I could not help myself from laughing this was going to be so easy they would never know that their time here was about to be up. A bolt whizzed by my head and landed dangerously close to Legolas.
The trap had been sprung. I ran into the nearby trees as the beast forced her way to the surface. I was expecting the pain to be excruciating but it was quite the reverse. Instead of four legs I was still on two. This must be the change she had been making these last couple of months. My back started to tingle as a pair of massive fiery wings began to sprout. My body was engulfed in flames as the wings grew larger.
The Heat and anger continued to grow. A massive roar can from my mouth. I began to lose control as the beast took over. I could hear footsteps running trying to locate me. My body lifted into the air. I could feel the wind in my face. I tried to laugh but it only came out as a loud roar. The beast was hunting and it had found its first target. The Hunter never knew what hit him. The beast had swooped down and picked him up. I could feel his fear coursing through his veins. His very essence was intoxicating. As he slumped forward the beast released its grip on him sending him spiraling to the ground below. One down three more to go.
The beast roared once more as it made another pass through the trees. The beast snatched up an archer that was positioned in one of the trees. This one however put up a fight. The archer and beast slammed into the forest ground. The archer lashed out with his dagger catching the beast in the side. The beast let out a painful roar. The beast latched on to he archer with all its might. An intense burning sensation seemed to radiate from our body. The Archer screamed in agony. I watched as the skin began to bubble and char right in front of my eyes. His Fear and Anger radiated back at me as he screamed no more. The beast released him and took for the sky once again.
There were still two left hiding. The beast scanned around for the remaining two hunters when it suddenly stopped flapping its massive wings. Something was very wrong. My heart felt like it was being ripped from me. The beast roared in anger and pain. There was something like water dripping from the beasts eyes. Was those tears? What was this new essence I sensed? Could it be another mage? And this one seemed just as strong as me. But I was still puzzled by the second essence. It was vaguely familiar and had a hint of magic. But it couldn't be. I told him to remain behind. The beast was angry and hatred seeped from its eyes. There was a new feeling in the beasts heart. Is that love or am I imagining it?
" - We can not let him die!! it hissed. The beast lurched forward into the darkness in search of its prey. We came across a lit campfire. A menacing voice called out with a laugh.
" - I knew you would come. You are just as predictable as your Mother." The beast flinched back. It was fighting to remain in control but was losing drastically. We tumbled to the forest floor. My body was slowly transforming back to my own. Kill her. I will give you my strength it hissed. My body ached all over. The pain in my side throbbed with excruciating pain. I dug down for all my anger to make the pain subside. I had to save Darkangel. I got to my feet and looked around for my attacker. She made her way into the firelight. HellFire. How was this possible? My mother's childhood friend.
" - Still trying to figure it out little bird. Well let me help you with that. Your mother was the next in line to be the head elder before she fell in love with that bumbling fool of a father of yours. She used to confide in me but that stopped once Mysterio came into the picture. They were always so secretive til she had you. With help from a leak in Defy I was able to alert the mage council to your birth. Once you and your mother were taken back to the clan I was able to work on a plan to be rid of you both. I convinced your mother to leave and head to Fairytail leaving you with the mage council. I promised I would take her to her beloved Mysterio. I figured the council would kill you so I allowed her to convince Devall to protect you if you ever came calling. A careless mistake on my part since it seems you are indeed not dead. She never saw it coming when I gave here the coordinates for an invading guild from another realm. Oh well I guess seeing the light drain from your eyes as you die will bring me the satisfaction that your mother denied me." she hissed.
" - What have you done with Darkangel ?" I demanded. She gave a maniacal laugh.
" - At least your mother had the sense to stay with her kind. She would roll in her grave to know you fell in love with a knight" she said as she spit at the ground in front of me.
" - Hellfire don't make me ask again or you will feel my wrath" I said seething with hate. She began laughing uncontrollably.
" - Don't worry I made sure his suffering is long and satisfying. I shall be done here with you and back in time to see his last dying breath." I was shaking with so much rage. My mother trusted her. I trusted her. She would pay for her betrayal. A Huge ball of light radiated from Hellfire's hands. The raging ball hurtled right for me. I tried to dodge but I was not fast enough. My breath was knocked out of me as I was slammed into a nearby tree. I slumped to the ground. My head was pounding and the immense pain in my side was back. I slowly got back up and cast rain of fire hoping to slow her down as i regained my strength. She laughed once more and a jolt of lightening seared down my back. This was going to be harder without my beast.
" - Concentrate Majesty. Take the beasts strength and I will lend you mine too." Darkangel. I could hear him in my mind even if it was very weak. I closed my eyes and imagined my beast and dark side by side. I used my dark magic to take in all of their energy. I opened my eyes and noticed my body covered in a bright blue flame. My whole body was tingling from all this power. I could sense all the hatred in Hellfire. I could also sense her fear. I brought here worst nightmares to reality as they began to surround her. She tried to hold back her screams as her terrors encased her. I could feel my body fill with her essence as she tried to move. She was growing weaker by the moment. I threw my head back and let out and evil roar. There was a flash of blue light then the forest went silent. There was nothing left but ash where once stood my mother's best friend. I slumped to the ground from exhaustion.
" - I have and always will love you Majesty!!!!" came a faint voice. Darkangel.
" - I know you hear me Dark hang on I am coming for you" I said. I pulled myself up off the ground. I must hurry! I heard a small grunt coming from the trees beyond.
" - Beast lend me your strength! " I screamed. I stumbled to the tree line and found the still form lying on the ground. I collapsed beside Dark and cradled his head. His heart beat was so weak. Tears were streaming from my eyes as I laid my hand upon his chest.
" - Please let me have the strength left to heal him." I silently prayed to the gods. A faint green aura began to flow from my hand into his heart. It wasn't going to be enough. I was depleted. I leaned forward and whispered in his ear.
" - And I have and always will love you til my dying breath." I leaned over and placed a kiss upon his lips. A strange sensation passed through me as memories began to flood through my mind. Memories that had been lost to me. I saw memories of past lives and the love that Dark and I shared. I saw memories of heartbreak and and his death each and every time. We had a very ill fated destiny that was to be short lived. I refuse to give up this time he will live and fate will not have him. I could feel all the emotions flowing from me into him. The faint green light was now a burning blue flame. Dark slowly opened his eyes. I could see all of our love from over time and space in them.
" -You remembered! " he whispered. I wiped the tears from my eyes. My heart and mind were now complete. I knew exactly who I am.
