Light of the Ancients
Chapter 10
The Race Begins...
"Huah..." Lest yawned as he woke up, "Huh?" he felt a sudden movement on his leg,
"Kree..." Senti groaned as she popped out of the cape blanket,
"Ah... My bad." Lest chuckled as he stood up, then quickly ran to get his clothes,
"Kree..." Senti giggled as she tried to sneak in a peek,
"Go away!" Lest yelled from behind the tree, "Begone!"
"Kree kree kree.." Senti laughed to herself,
"There we go..." Lest came back out, fully clothed and armored, "Time to wake up Frey..." he chuckled and walked over to her,
"Kreee." Senti told him,
"What do you mean by-" Lest paused when something was off, "What.." he looked at Frey, "Oh my..."
"Kree!" Senti said in shock,
"What in the gods?" Lest shot back, staring at Frey's enlarged belly, "How..."
"Ah... Lest..." Frey, hearing the commotion, arose, "What a surprise... eh?" she smiled and rubbed her belly,
"What... what.." Lest shook his head,
"Give me some privacy.. eh?" Frey giggled..
00000000
"What is going on!?" Lest yelled when he looked at Frey's baby bump, "It hasn't even been a month!"
"Let me explain..." Frey told him, "In the Light Realm... Everything promotes life..." she said, "That's why wounds are healed and there is no night... Being that, our baby grows much, much faster here..."
"Who told you this?" Lest asked,
"In my dream..." Frey responded, "A man told me... But isn't this great?" she smiled,
"What do you..." Lest stopped when Frey grabbed his hand and let him touch her bump, "Ah..." he mumbled,
"This is yours... Lest." Frey told him, "The Polonians will no longer die off..."
"But I still don't..." Lest mumbled, "If this Realm promotes life... that means..." he looked at his hand, which stood still,
"What's wrong?" Frey asked,
"Back in the world..." Lest responded, "My hand shook and caused me much pain... Now it doesn't..."
"That's good!" Frey smiled,
"This is very good." Lest chuckled, "No wonder I have so much vigor!" he laughed and reached for his spear, "Say... We must be going..." he said and pointed to the road, which was inside the cave.
"Alright." Frey nodded, "But you're going to have to help me..." she laughed,
"Sure..." Lest smiled and helped her walk, then the two made their way out the rest area.
00000000
"So..." Lest said as they traveled down the cavern road, "When do you think you are due?"
"I don't know..." Frey mumbled, "Ah..." she groaned as she walked,
"What's wrong?" Lest asked worriedly,
"It's not easy walking with another human being inside of you.." Frey laughed,
"How about one over your shoulder?" Lest told her, "That's even worse..."
"Ha ha..." Frey rolled her eyes, but the two came to a stop,
"Ah..." Lest gasped when they reached a strange formation.
Ahead of them the road became a ring road, encircling some rather intriguing objects.
"What in the world?" Frey said as the two walked over,
Surely enough, massive skeletons lay in the middle over a sandy circle.
"Are these..." Lest inspected them, "Dragons?"
"HE LEFT US!" a voice roared, and the bones started to quake.
"HE WILL PAY FOR WHAT HE DID!" another one screeched,
"HE IS A COWARD!" another added,
"THE HERO HAS BETRAYED THE PLANET!" a last dragon bellowed.
Then the spirits of four dragons descended on the bones,
"Those are..." Frey mumbled, "The Divine Dragons!"
"RAH!" Ventuswill roared and shot out a ghastly gale,
"I HATE THE LITTLE DUDE!" Aquaticus started to shoot ghostly jets of water,
"IF I SEE ONE MORE HUMAN! I WILL KILL THEM!" Fiersome roared fiercely,
"YESS!" Terrable told him, and surely enough, the four set their eyes on the two.
"Frey." Lest muttered,
"Run, right?" Frey chuckled,
"Yep." Lest nodded, and the two bolted.
"COME BACK HERE!" Fiersome's ghost howled and blasted some fire.
00000000
"Ha.. Ha..." Frey panted, her pregnancy was impeding her running,
"Frey!" Lest turned back, "Here!" he carried her bridal position, "We're almost there!" he pointed to the cave's end, where the sunlight returned,
"RAHHH!" Aquaticus roared as he appeared behind them,
"AH!" Lest yelled and sped off,
"GET BACK HERE!" Terrable flew to catch them.
00000000
"Hrah!" Lest ran out of the cave, only to find the road led through a vast desert, the sun of the Light Realm harmed them greatly.
"Ha... Ha..." Frey groaned, "It's so hot!"
"You're right..." Lest grumbled, "We can go back into the cave..." he turned,
"THAT'S RIGHT!" Fiersome some said as all the dragons waited in the cave's entrance, "RETURN!"
"Or not..." Lest mumbled and turned back to the desert,
"WE'LL LEAVE YOU TO DIE IN THE DESERT OF LOST SOULS!" Ventuswill chortled,
"FIND THAT BASTARD WHO BETRAYED HIS PEOPLE!" Terrable roared, "HE IS NO HERO!"
