Standing on the holographic dragon, Orpheus shouted:
"Thanks to Igor, I'm able to cast summon spells with short words, now you die!"
"incinerate him to ashes, Swampigon!". He said.
The holographic Swampigon dragon reared up and took a deep breath then breathes a huge flame of fire on Zenobios. Being an Elf, he is naturally swift and aided by the elements, Zenobios skillfully evaded the burning flame of the Swampigon.
Seeing that Zenobios evaded the fire breath, he ordered the Swampigon with a hand gesture to stomp him down. Lifting its leg, it stomped at Zenobios. Zenobios evaded the stomp.
It kept stomping each time Zenobios evaded each one. Seeing that such tactic didn't work, the Swampigon whipped its tail at him. Unable to sense the change in the attack pattern, Zenobios was hit by the tail with great force.
He was sent flying off, he hits a tree and broke it, but it wasn't enough to stop him from still flying off, he skid across the ground before finally stopping in front of a tree. His body was wounded and punctured by the splinters of the tree he hit.
"This is one hectic day". Zenobios said standing up and had to immediately run away from the spot as the Swampigon breathes fire on him again.
"If it's fight you want lad, i give you fight". Zenobios said as he ran towards the Swampigon at great speed. He jumped on it feet, then he repeatedly kept jumping till he reached Orpheus.
In response, Orpheus said:
"Creature summon: Bee swarm".
Swarms of bees magically appeared and flew towards Zenobios, stinging him from all sides. Zenobios didn't let that stop him, he ran towards Orpheus to reach out to him. Orpheus seeing this moved back and said:
"Shining bright as light, incandesce as flame, smitten the foe before me to nothing but ash!". Orpheus said a red magic circle appeared on his hands and red beam of light shot out.
The red beam hit Zenobios and the bee swarm _ or so he thought. Zenobios was already up in the air, he summoned his bow and arrow and sets it up, ready to fire.
He released the arrow, Orpheus didn't know this until he saw an arrow covered in green aura hitting the Swampigon. The Swampigon dissipated into dust after being hit by Zenobios' arrow, Orpheus on the other hand fell on the ground.
Still in the air, Zenobios readied his arrow again, ready to fire. The other four members of the group seeing this, knows they have to interfere.
"We are not going to let him fire that arrow are we?" Barbara said.
"Of course we can't, everyone please cast this spell with me, object summon: Tree bark shield, his powers seems greater than mine, i can't stop his arrow alone". Igor said.
"Object summon:Tree bark shield ". All four of them casted as a shield in form of tree bark surrounded Orpheus.
Zenobios released his arrow, but rather than going directly at Orpheus or the shield, it splitted and turned into chains, pinning down Orpheus and the shield together.
Zenobios landed and walked towards Orpheus. The other four ran towards them. Standing right above Orpheus, he bent down and said:
"Kid, we all have past, I'm sorry I tried to use you for an experiment, i only obeyed your father's command, if not I don't know what kind of things he would have done to me".
*Scoffs*
"Oh really, what about the fairies of Fiilar and my mom and those people you turned into abominations of nature, what about them, are they also my father's? You clearly said it to my face that you are interested in people with good affinity for magic!" Orpheus shouted in anger.
"Well it true, i might have delved into some things that should be considered forbidden arts, but they are all in the past, plus somebody destroyed them all so all my years of research gone to waste, until I met those four ". Zenobios replied as he pointed to the group of four that was in front of them.
"I'm sorry lad, if you have it in your heart to forgive me, I'll really appreciate it. And as for your mom, it isn't me you should direct your anger to but your father ". Zenobios said as he released the chains off Orpheus and the shield dissipated.
Orpheus stood up and said:
"Really? Why is that, tell me ".
"Your mother, Linda, was originally not a Theronite but from the kingdom of Owo, she was from a tribe that naturally have high affinity for magic. Because of this, they were hunted by slave traders and sold as slaves. Linda was sold to your father. Knowing her ability, he made her use her magic against her will and slept with her and that was how you were born ".
"You are an illegitimate child, but because it was found out that you possess an even greater affinity for magic than your mother, you were accepted into the family, and around that time, Marquess Gizbert was starting a research to create life, after several failed attempt, it finally succeeded after your mother acted as the host to supply magic, but on the down side, it took away Linda's life, as supplying magic was draining her her life force".
"So my mother suffered till death huh...". Orpheus said in a sad tone.
"When I find father, he is going to pay for all he has done for me... And as for you, i have not fully forgiven you, you also hurt me and the fairies of Fiilar ". Orpheus said.
"Thanks lad, i really appreciate it... Now what shall we do about the giant beast, what name shall we give it ". Zenobios said.
"We are naming it? i say we should destroy it before it causes any mayhem to the people". Larmore said.
"Yes i agree with him, even if we restrain it now it only for sometime, we cannot contain it for long ". Seraph said.
"Actually we can, you know we said we have been working on this for some time, we created failsafe Incase it went out of control". Zalmore said coming out of nowhere.
"See, it's safe, so what shall we name it, we are giving you five the honor because you created it ". Zenobios said.
"Hmm I've got an idea, how about 'Behemoth'" Orpheus suggested.
