The Leo Shifter

Chapter Gabriel gets Captured



After the astral projection... Cyra views the roses in the garden, touching them with her hands. “These roses are so beautiful...” said Cyra, talking to herself while looking at the red roses. “Cyra?” said Gabriel. “Yeah?” said Cyra. “Are you alright after the astral projection?” said Gabriel. “Yeah... But I didn’t know that I have siblings and no one ever told me about them after my parents left, it was weird,” said Cyra. “Are you sure that you were told that you really have siblings?” said Gabriel. “Yeah, I just have that feeling about it,” said Cyra.

Cyra sees Art give Madison a sunflower as a loving gift, and Gabriel sees them. “Looks like someone’s got an admirer already,” said Gabriel. “Yeah, I see that,” said Cyra. “Such a beautiful couple,” said Gabriel. Cyra snickered.

“Hey, everyone, I have something to show and tell again,” said Takoda. “OK,” said Cyra and Gabriel, at the same time. Cyra and the others head back inside for the moment.

“I saw the signs of the future that are trying to tell us in the pot,” said Takoda. Takoda places the herbs into his pot, and the huge smoke rises from the pot. The smoke tells about what’s happening now: Dominic is planning for war, Cyra reunites with her long-lost siblings in the Gold Meadow Kingdom, and Cyra becomes the master Lioness warrior.

“It tells about the war that Dominic is planning soon, he becomes angry that you’re achieving more. But Cyra, I can see that your siblings are in the kingdom of Gold Meadow. You must reveal yourself as the Fire Witch to everyone in the kingdom (including your siblings) and possibly after the war, you will become the Master Lioness warrior,” said Takoda.

“Dominic is starting a war?” said Gabriel. “Yes,” said Takoda. The smoke turned red, signaling a danger alert that Dominic and the Red Crows were approaching. “Uh oh, that’s not good!” said Emily, scared. “What’s going on, what does this mean?” said Madison. “They’re coming, the Red Crows,” said Takoda.

Emily and Gilda hide Art and Madison in the closet for safety before the Red Crows get to the location. Dominic and the Red Crows entered Takoda’s home, and Cyra and the others prepared to confront them. “Well, well, well... You must be the Fire Witch that the Red Crows told me about,” said Dominic. “I know you have my mentor and my parents, it was you who captured my parents after they took me to my great-aunt for safety,” said Cyra. “Good guess, Cyra, I took them. And you’re coming with me to see your true fate,” said Dominic. “I can’t let you take her!” shouted Gabriel before he lunged at Dominic. “Gabriel, no!” shouted Cyra.

Gabriel uses his sword while lunging, but is held hostage by the Red Crows. “Now that I have your knight, you’re gonna have to battle us when you get to the tower and you’ll get your family, your mentor, and the knight you love back,” said Dominic. “Cyra!” said Gabriel. Dominic and the Red Crows teleported away, taking Gabriel with them. “Gabriel!” shouted Cyra, trying to follow, but is stopped by Takoda and Gilda. “Cyra, we’ll save him,” said Emily, talking about Gabriel. “I know, we will,” said Cyra. Cyra finds Gabriel’s sword on the floor, which was dropped from Gabriel’s hands when he got captured.

This Evening... Takoda places the rose petals into the bowl, he pours the warm moon water into the bowl of rose petals, he stirs it around to mix the roses in the water, he places the pure rosemary herbs into the bowl of rose water and stirs it again to complete the mixing.

Takoda smudges the rose petal sage stick around the home, opening the window for the negative energy to be released while he brings positive energy into his cottage. “Cyra, come with me to the altar,” Said Takoda. Takoda guides Cyra to his altar, they begin to pray and chant for their strength. Takoda guides Cyra to chant along with him.

Takoda chanted first.

"Give us strength, give us strong will to battle in the war. Ancestors, I called to you to give us strength. Let the truth always be revealed, let the souls and the Great Spirit protect us from death, loss, and enemies. Let the souls of the eagles protect us, let the wolves guard us above. Oh, the Great Spirit, I called to you to give us protection, hear our prayers. Give us strength, shield us from evil."

He and Cyra chanted prayers together.

"Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind, whose breath gives life to all the world. Hear me; I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice."

Takoda puts the turquoise amulet around Cyra’s neck and then places the fire elemental necklace around her as well. Emily nodded when she saw the whole thing of the prayers and chantings, encouraging Cyra.

At Dominic’s tower, Gabriel’s wrists are tied with the rope. Gabriel awakens and finds himself tied when he is held captive in a room where he meets Cyra’s parents and her mentor.

“Who are you?” asked Gabriel. “I’m Madame Leilani, Cyra’s mentor. You can’t break the ropes because they’re stronger than you think,” said Madame Leilani. “Dominic puts dark magic on the ropes so that we can’t be free,” said Cyra’s mother, Melissa. “What?” said Gabriel, shocked. “This is Cyra’s parents, Melissa and George. They’ve been trapped for years after they took her safety when she was little. You must be the knight, Gabriel.” said Madame Leilani. “Yes, I am,” said Gabriel. “He’s the knight?” said George, realizing the new victim is the knight.

Dominic opens the door, along with one of the Red Crows next to him. “Well, well, well, fellas. The war is gonna be here the next day. Finally, I have the knight who is on Cyra’s side,” said Dominic. “Dominic, we’ve been trying to find you to arrest you for years. You can’t take down the Gold Meadow and my kingdom, you can’t take both of them down and rule them forever. You have the weakest link in you and so does your weakest heart, you will never get away with everything you’ve done to the people. My King, their king, and the other royal monarchy exiled you from the kingdom because you have plans of your own to rule the whole world,” said Gabriel. “Do I have the weakest link and a weak heart?” asked Dominic, with a devilish smirk and tone. “Yes!” shouted Gabriel. “Oh, we’ll see,” said Dominic as he grabs Gabriel by the neck, choking him.

“I’m stronger than a weak heart, you are just a knight who wants to save his little Air kingdom,” said Dominic. “Leave him alone, Dominic!” said Madame Leilani. “Or what, Leilani? Call on Cyra to save you and the others from me. I planned the war, it’s gonna be vicious, and it’s gonna be strong as I am,” said Dominic as he lets go of Gabriel’s neck.

“Cyra is the strongest, she can stop you from destroying Gold Meadow and destroying our real world,” said Gabriel. “Oh really? We’ll see about that, only if I can take you all to the war with me as hostages. If she and her allies lost the war, you will be trapped in my tower forever,” said Dominic.

That Midnight before an early morning... Cyra and the others continued their journey, with Takoda joining them. They wear hooded long capes, Cyra wears the red hooded cape.

They went to the mysterious garden house. “This is my friend’s home, she works with the lion magic and she is also a Fire witch of the Gold Meadow,” said Takoda, talking to Cyra and the others. Takoda knocked on the door, and a woman around her 30s opened the door.

The kind woman has a dark tan skin tone, her hair is also curly and brown, her eyes are brownish-amber like the lion/lioness’s eye color, she wears a long brown dress, and she wears a brown cape around her. “Hello, Takoda,” said the beautiful Lioness witch.

“Hello, Lenina. This is Cyra and her friends, we need your help. There has been a war happening soon, Cyra is the fire witch,” said Takoda. “A fire witch?” asked Lenina, looking at Cyra. Cyra shows Lenina her pyrokinesis powers, with her fire turning into colors and then shifting into fireballs and a torch type.

“Please, come in,” said Lenina, allowing the others to come into her home. Her home is like a big greenhouse, the lion cubs are her pets, the glowing butterflies fly around her beautiful, glowing rose garden, and her two white lions with blue eyes are her guards. “Her home is more beautiful like Takoda’s!” said Emily.
