The Palace Beast

"Of course we are not alone down here. We are surrounded by the corpses of great warriors of Maxis."

Leon was standing behind Gerald and couldn't get a glimpse of the shadow.

"I saw something over there," said Gerald.

"Something like what?" Leon inquired.

"A shadow," Gerald replied.

"Perhaps you are hallucinating because I didn't see anything. If you don't mind, come show me where you buried my father."

Gerald increases his pace as he makes his way to where the healer was buried. "No-no, no..." he cried out.

The place they laid the healer has been broken. The grave cloth he was wrapped with was just lying next to his feet. He quickly drew out his sword and used it to pick the grave cloth. "This is what we used to wrap your father," he said showing it to Leon.

"And where is my father?" Leon asked giving Gerald a wide-eyed surprise.

"I have no idea."

"What do you mean you have no idea?" Leon yelled.

"Perhaps the ghoul we killed is not the only ghoul in Maxis. Perhaps this tomb has been robbed. The ghouls might have taken your father's corpse." Gerald laments.

"This is insane," said Leon.

"We need to inform the king or..."

Gerald's words were cut short as they noticed a swift movement behind them. Swiftly they turned, but there was nothing there. "I told you we are not alone," said Gerald as he positioned the flaming torch.

With no doubts and fully aware that something weird is with them, Leon draws out his sword and takes a stance. "What exactly are we facing here?" Leon whispered.

"My best guess is ghouls," Gerald replied.

As they were scanning their eyes through the tombs, Leon felt as if someone was standing behind them watching. He was certain of it as he slowly turned, his eyes caught up with his father. His eyes were pure red and he has blood on his lips. "Oh no!" Leon cried out.

Gerald quickly turned and seeing the healer, he started drawing back, "This is not your father, we have to leave right now and seal this place."

The healer moved one and half times faster than the theoretical maximum for a human speed towards them and slammed Leon to the rocky wall.

His movement was faster than the eye can see, "What are you?" Gerald mumbled.

The healer picked Gerald up by the throat and lifted him above the ground. The healer's red eyes can really tell a desire for extreme violence and carnage. His appearance has changed into pale skin and range in appearance of grotesque. The red eyes, sharp fangs, and he was lusting for blood like an intense thirst-like sensation. He fangs out displaying his fangs, he brought his mouth closer to Gerald's neck.

From behind, Leon hits him on the head. He released Gerald from his grip and let him slump on the ground. With this action of Leon, he was enraged and switched his focus to him, "Oh-oh!" Leon exclaimed as he quickly started drawing back. Gerald picked up the flaming torch and started waving it in front of the healer. Seeing the fire, he ran back faster than their eyes can see. "We need to get out of here, right now!" Gerald said as he quickly leads the way out.

The Throne Hall As they ran into the throne hall, the king was startled by the way they rushed in, "What's the matter?" King Afa asked with his eyes fixed on Gerald.

"The healer has come back to life," Gerald replied.

"That's impossible!" the king exclaimed.

"Tell the king what we saw, don't just keep quiet," Gerald said glancing at Leon.

"As you said, that's not my father," Leon replied.

Princess Bonnie's Chamber The princess was being kissed by Andrew, who started stroking her with his lips, tongue, and strong, delicate hands.

Kind. Not horrifying. Being aware of what he was doing since the princess had requested it. She and Andrew are becoming deeply in love. The princess gives Andrew extra attention, as many palace maids rumored. 'He's just a slave boy,' they would say. 'Perhaps it runs in their blood to fall in love with people that are from low class and means nothing and has no noble fame of any such,' they would as well argue also referring to the king and Eva. The princess paid no attention to any of that knowing full well what she wants. She just wants to love and be loved by the opposite sex.

Her late father King Gilbert has restrained her in her chambers after the incident that nearly claimed her life while on a journey to visit the late crown prince of Wex. Now is the time she could get all she has ever desired while staying alone in her chamber. Perhaps, she's not alone now. She has someone to tend to her needs emotionally and sexually.

Andrew was startled when she felt her nipples rise.

He moved down the princess's body in a slow, rhythmic, and gentle manner.

She was just her body, nothing more.

A sudden, sharp pain was felt.

Quick.

And then she experienced a lovely spasm.

And she appeared to soar through the air.

There was no more suffering, only sweetness-the most amazing sweetness and then Andrew started to pant.

She pressed him close to her.

The Throne Hall "I am still confused; can someone tell me what is going on here?"

Afa, the King, gets off his throne and walks over to Gerald and Leon. He asked in a composed tone, glancing at them both. "What is going on?"
