Meanwhile at the village, the chieftain had reported to the kingdom that a child has been stolen by the monster. Posters were posted everywhere saying:

Missing

'Picture'

Child

Name: Roll Azarath, Son of the High General had been stolen by a monster of the Shadow Casstle of Dungeons. . .

Reward is: 10,000 G; 5,000 S; 500 C

When the people of the whole kingdom had seen this posters, they are willing to capture the monster but then again they remembered that the paths of the Forest of the Dark Mist, they changed their minds and thought the boy would already be dead even if they still tried to find him. The mother of the child still went crying on wanting her son to be wrapped in her arms as they smiled at each other but she just can't seem to get the thought to forget her precious son.

"This is impossible!" the king exclaimed furiously.

"Why did that monster survived and left that monster running out free!?" he added.

"How are we going to kill that beast without losing any men!?" He exclaimed again as he pounded the arm of his throne.

"Uh, father..." suddenly the prince spoke up gently.

"Yes, son?" the king asked calming down.

"How about letting me... capture the beast?" the prince asked.

"What!?" the king exclaimed.

As the king exclaimed, silence filled the room then the king broke the silence.

"Are you insane, my son!?" he asked in shock.

"No, father..." the prince answered calmly.

"I want to prove myself... of being a worthy prince..." he added.

"You?" a voice interrupted.

"A worthy prince?" the voice asked.

"Your making me laugh... You can't even fight very well not and you can't even kill a single animal... Your just being a show off again." he added.

"Your the show off here, Sir Zintos." the prince said.

"I'll show you... that I'll be a worthy prince." he declared as he left.

"Let's see..." Zintos smirked.

The prince had left the castle and went on to the Forest of the Dark Mist. It was dark and dim not a single light had shown and it was foggy. The prince had carried a sword and traps to capture the monster and had also carried a dagger, just in case. Suddenly, a rustle in the bushes appeared.

"Huh? Who's there?" the prince asked.

Again it rustled. "Show yourself!" he ordered.

Then suddenly, a cute little rabbit that seems to be injured and got left out from its family.

"A... rabbit?" he lowered his voice and sword as he calmed down a bit.

The rabbit jumped onto his feet and stared cutely. The prince smiled.

"A cute one too, but where is your family? Did you got lost or something?" he asked.

The rabbit nodded so then the prince carried it and tended it with care.

After a few minutes, the prince had continued walking father into the woods. The prince was humming a tune. The rabbit joyfully listened to it.

"You like the tune don't you?" the prince asked.

The rabbit just nodded. As they walked more farther, another bush rustled, but this time it wasn't an animal but was a monster. This monster is a different one. It looks like a Bull-like-Bear. It's horns were sharp, its teeth were sharp as a bear's, its paws were claws with sharp ends and its eyes glow like a raging bull! The prince had swung his sword at the beast, slashing and stabbing it.

"Die you killing beast!" he shouted aloud as he stabbed the beast again.

The beast countered his attacked using it's horns tearing his clothes. Apparently the prince learned reflex able skills, so he dodged it very quickly. As he dodged, he quickly stabbed the beast directly through its chest killing it but then the beast countered again making the prince hit his back on the tree making him unconscious. As the beast was almost dying it raised its paw and slashed the prince but before that it was block by another beast. The prince grew weary unable to watch the two beasts fight. Then the prince saw the other beast slashed the Beast-like-Bear's head, then he fainted. The mysterious beast left immediately, leaving the unconscious prince there.

As an hour passed the prince woke up, seeing the rabbit on his chest. The rabbit cuddled him trying to see if he's alright and a way to show comfort.

"It's strange... your a rabbit... but you seem to act like a loyal... dog..." he said weakly.

"I'am a dog, a wolf, to be exact." the rabbit spoke up to explain.

"You are?" the prince asked but doesn't seem to be shock about it.

"Yes, call me Metrion." the rabbit said.

"Metrion... why- I mean how... did you turn into a cute little animal?" the prince asked.

"Ask the Beast of the Shadow Castle of Dungeons the one who saved you... And don't call me cute." Metrion said as he glared, cutely yet seriously.

The prince looked at the far away castle... "You mean..." the prince muttered.

"Yes, that castle. Now, follow me..." the rabbit ordered as he bounced to a rather seemed safe path to the Castle.

They walked and walked and walked. "Be careful..." the rabbit said worried.

"Yes, I will." the prince said as he nodded.

When they came to a stop, it felt like the trees had moved. The prince looked back and observed but then suddenly a tree's branches had grabbed him at the neck choking him to death. The prince shouted for help. Metrion tried to help but he can't. The prince shouted and shouted and shouted again and again, then a beast appeared. In one slash all the branches were cut and faded into ash. The prince fell onto the ground coughing.
