Chapter 7 - Chapter 4

Tragic Return

We entered the Dark Forest, The forest is a giant woodland pine tree to the furthest end, Dead decaying leaves from a thicket on the forest floor. Small creatures of all sort crawl through the hidden canvassing of the forest. We could hear the sounds of wolfs and deers . The further we went, the darker, and darker, darker, the forest gets. I don't know how I got myself into this situation, but, come to think of it, if he meant what he said, Eddian Of the Minotaurs; I needed answers.

"How far is this place you're talking about"

I implied, it seems we have been walking for 30 minutes now and still I cannot seem to see any form of civilization.

"Its just ahead your highness "

he said sounding his best

"please call me Tiona"

I tell him, it is strange for someone referring to me as a person of high authority.

We increased our pace, Eddian sworn he believes he is been followed, but I told him we are perfectly fine. He keeps using his glowing eyes to look behind him, maybe scanning the area with his minotaur senses. He then pulls me in a dark corner of the forest in order to get away from what he believed was following him. Watching through small thicket I notice an unseen character with pearly white hair and golden embodiment. It stomps as if a moving deer and retreating back the way we came I notice long shiny blonde hair dancing with the motion of its movement.

"We are safe, quick, follow me Yy... Tiona"

He rushes me into a direction where I then saw signs of smoke.

"This is Camp Theaæson, Named in honour of the previous king, Your father"

He explained.

"My father, you knew him"

I added shocked by his comment

"No, I am afraid I was far too young in the time of his passing"

A couple of the camp members came, they appear to be speaking in different tongues very unusual to me. Eddian told me that they are asking me to get up on a small platform located in the centre of the camp.

I ascended up the rocky step of the platform, By now at least a hundred individuals had gathered around. Then out came an old man at least a hundred years old with wrinkles and a long mustache, he called forth the best warriors to stand in front of me to, eleven characters came out of the crowd, among the characters was Eddian, they are fierce and strong looking and face painted making them hard to look upon. The old man then took out some paint and marked over my face. I felt a strong aura around me it was strongly filled with power. He then brought forth an old horn, suspectingly from a cattle but too large for any animal and gave me these instructions,

"Place your hands atop this sacred relic"

The further I reached to touch the relic I felt my aura getting stronger and I was know shrouded in an absorbing mist when I touched the relic I was Transformed.

I felt different, I felt pure, I felt massive, I felt real.

Opening my eyes I noticed everyone also shrouded in a blanket of mist, Then suddenly, with sparks so angelic, they transformed into animals, no not just animals.......MINOTAURS.

I noticed I had a problem standing myself, looking down I noticed I was at least 10 feet tall with hooves for my feet, the old man beside me no longer old but a massive statue looking minotaur with scars resembling torments and battles. He held my hand up spoke,

"NOW WORSHIP YOUR NEW KING!"

Everyone bowed down and hummed an ancient prayer, Mysterious I now understand them. Then they let out a mighty roar that shook the earth and tortured the sky. Then suddenly out of the forest came a piercing arrow, it went straight through the odd man and he collapsed His last words,

"G,g, go and lead your people"

Out of the forest we heard galloping like a hundred horsemen, the first character appear a pearly white creature, Not a minotaur, Not a horse, not a human..... but a Centaur, It had the body of a horse and a head that looks like, looks exactly like
