The Leo Shifter

Chapter Takoda



After the battle has ended, everyone is celebrating Cyra’s victory. “Cyra, you did it, girl!” said Emily. “Yeah, I know you can do it!” said Madison, cheering on. “Not bad, Cyra. I got so worried,” said Gabriel. Cyra caressed Gabriel’s cheek with her hand, making him smile with joy.

“Cyra, we have something to show you,” said King Zephyr. “Yes, sire,” said Cyra. King Zephyr guides Cyra to the secret room, and the man follows them while in a hooded disguise.

In a secret room… King Zephyr shows them the book about the 12 zodiac signs. “This is a book about the history of astrology. This book was written by the ancestors of the Gemini Kingdom.” Said King Zephyr. “Astrology?” said Cyra. “Yes, indeed,” said King Zephyr.

While the man overhears the conversation between Cyra and King Zephyr, Gabriel, and the others discover him. “Hey, who are you?” whispered Emily. “Shh, I sensed something dangerous after your friend Cyra,” whispered Takoda. “What is it?” whispered Gabriel. “She’s in danger because someone is disguising himself as King Zephyr, your king is trapped in the basement of the Gemini Kingdom,” whispered Takoda. “What?” whispered Emily, shocked.

“So, I heard that you are being improved by the spirits of the lions and being channeled by the Sunstone Towers,” said ‘King Zephyr’. “How did you know that?” said Cyra. “Because I know you’re on a journey to find your parents and your mentor, but you... Will see the last day of your life,” said ‘King Zephyr’, behind Cyra as he pulls out the dagger.

As he prepares to strike Cyra with a dagger, Gabriel immediately opens the door. “Cyra, watch out!” shouted Emily, warning her friend who is in danger.

Gabriel pushes ‘King Zephyr’ down to the ground, saving Cyra. Cyra gasped as she noticed ‘King Zephyr’ trying to hurt her with a dagger but he was stopped by Gabriel’s hands. “Cyra, run!” shouted Gabriel. “Wait, what about you?” said Cyra. “I’ll follow you after I find the king,” said Gabriel before he kisses Cyra. ‘King Zephyr’ scratches Gabriel’s arm with a dagger. “Gabriel!” said Cyra, worried.

“Let’s get out of here,” Said Takoda, talking to Cyra. Cyra runs off with the others, warning the people that their king has been captured and there is an intruder in disguise while Gabriel fights with ‘King Zephyr’. “So, you’re the knight who is on the fire witch’s side,” said ‘King Zephyr’. “And you’re the real king of the Air Castle, you’re one of the Red Crows in disguise!” said Gabriel as he pulled out his sword.

Gabriel and ‘King Zephyr’ begin a sword battle, ‘King Zephyr’ charges at him first but Gabriel dodges his sword. Gabriel swings his sword and defeats the intruder, the intruder turns out to be Dominic and disappears. “I have to find the king in this castle,” said Gabriel.

Gabriel leaves the secret room and then heads down to the basement to find the king, he hears King Zephyr’s voice calling to him. “Sir Cole! Help me!” said the real King Zephyr. “Your majesty, are you there?” said Gabriel. “Over here!” shouted King Zephyr, who is in a cell.

Gabriel found him trapped in a cell, he is relieved that he’s alive. “You’re OK, where’s the key to the cell?” said Gabriel. “It’s inside a cabinet, Dominic does something to the cabinet,” said King Zephyr. Gabriel tries to open the cabinet, but the cabinet is stuck by Dominic’s dark magic. “It’s stuck, sire,” said Gabriel. “Try smudging the sage, it’ll help,” said King Zephyr.

Gabriel immediately lights up the candle, smudges the sage, and lets it smoke. Gabriel smudges the cabinet with the smoking sage, it is unstuck and Dominic’s dark magic disappears. Gabriel finally opens the cabinet and finds the cell key inside, he picks it up and unlocks the cell, freeing King Zephyr. “Thank you, sir Cole,” said King Zephyr, hugging his companion. “Thank God, you’re OK, sire,” said Gabriel.

“Here, I want you to have these. This one is for Cyra, and these are for the secret codes to unlock,” said King Zephyr, giving Gabriel the secret codes and the jar of magical, curable sun water for Cyra. “Yes, sire,” said Gabriel. “I want you to go back to her on a quest to stop Dominic the evil wizard. Good luck,” said King Zephyr. “Yes, sire,” said Gabriel.
