Chapter Three
********************************************************
"AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It would be impossible to say that the body beside her was still asleep. Her scream had practically shattered through the whole forest.
"Whoa woman! Are you trying to wake the dead?" Serena turned to the deep voice. She was stunned for a moment as she stared into his face. She has never seen such a handsome man before; ebony-black hair almost artfully tousled, a skilfully sculptured face with a proud chin and deep blue eyes with flecks of silver staring at her. Staring at her...her naked body?!
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! YOU PERVERT!!!!" Serena screamed again as she tried to cover her naked body with her arms.
"Could you please calm yourself down my lady?" he said with a mixture of amusement and annoyance in his face. "I didn't mean too..." Her mind started ticking...since she wasn't alone in this forest, that would mean... "YOU! You hid my clothes didn't you??!!" Serena's face was changing from one shade of red to another as she forgot about her situation and grabbed his collar. "Where are my clothes?!" she screamed into his ears.
He winced. His eardrums were gonna burst at any moment. He knew he should have picked another women but she was the only woman he had seen in almost a hundred years. Hm...maybe he should try to change the situation a little, he thought and smirked. Before she could open her mouth for another string of curses he kissed her.
Serena was stunned again as she tasted him. She tried to resist but found it useless and so she did the only thing possible; she kicked him in the groin.
"Argh!! Are you trying to kill me woman?" Serena merely smiled smugly until she remembered her predicament. "Okay... I'll calm down. WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES AND WHO ARE YOU?!" Endymion rolled his eyes as he raised from the ground. He still hurt but wasn't going to show that in front of the girl before him.
"Prince Endymion the fifth at your service madame," he said and bowed teasingly. Serena's eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief. "but...but... I thought it was just a tale...a myth. You're the prince of Terra aren't you?" Serena asked with awe in her voice. Her mind fleeted back to the last time she met Henry, the tale-spinner.
"You know about me?" His brow lifted a little as he studied her. She couldn't be more than eighteen but she still had an air of innocence surrounding her. He had barely seen a woman in a hundred years except for the few mares, which preferred surrounding him than those jealous stallions. Her face was not painted like those of his time, yet the natural rosy colour of her cheeks still made her look beautiful. Beautiful? What was he thinking...he had no time for girls!
"Of course! In a myth that is," she looked at him sceptically. "If you're a prince, would you be kind enough to return my clothes?!" With a wave if his hand, Endymion materialised a brown travelling attire and handed it to her. Serena looked at him with saucer-sized eyes. "How did you do that?" He smiled and wink, "Royal family secret." She scowled and grabbed the attire. Giving him a warning look, she hid behind some bushes and changed. Endymion looked up at the sky, his time was running out.
"Are you dressed yet?"
"And I thought patience is a virtue all prince should have," Serena retorted as she stepped out.
"Unfortunately madame, time is something I don't. If you will, please sit down and listen to what I have to say." Serena pursed her lips and gave a thought. Since she was stuck in this stupid forest anyway, she might as well sit here and listen to a fabled prince. "It has to be destiny that we meet...so alright." She swore she saw a thankful smile from the arrogant prince but dismissed it as optical illusion.
"Hm...where should I start? I would imagine that you already half of my story and so let me tell you the rest. Well the story that you know isn't so complete, there's more." A gasp. "My kingdom was also left with a curse...my citizens were turned into stone while the royal army were turned against me and became living monsters. As a beast myself..."
"A unicorn!"
"A what?!"
"A unicorn. You aren't a beast but a lovely creature of myths. The unicorn and oh..." she stopped.
"Oh...?"
"Haven't you thought of why I'm the only one who can see you as who you are after a hundred years?" She questioned excitedly.
"Hm...No."
She rolled her eyes. "It's another myth I heard from Henry; only a virgin maiden, dressed in her first clothing may see the purest of all mystical creature, the spiral-horned creature- the unicorn at the first full moon of the month." Endymion nodded his head as he looked at the dark sky. A full moon.
"Her first clothing... I didn't think it would mean naked..." she pondered as a blush threatened to crept up her neck. Weather he was trying to keep her embarrassment at bay or he really had no time he continued. "The next time I can speak again is the next full moon so I better make the most of this. Serena are you willing to help me?" he asked her, looking directly into her eyes. She gulped; she knew her life had changed the moment she met him. Somehow, it felt right...it was as though she was prepared for this long ago.
"I will you reward you handsomely once my kingdom is restored... I promise. Right now you're the only one who understands my problem and my only guardian."
"Guardian?!" Serena asked in bewilderment.
"Story two, the wandering beast shall find his one guardian and together..."
"Together what??"
"I don't know...the wise man's words stopped there."
"Wise man?" Suddenly blue mist from nowhere appeared and surrounded them. The sun was already making his way to his reign.
"No time!!! Find him...village of...Mirag..gah!!!" He stumbled to his feet, his hands clutching his forehead.
"ENDYMION!!"
At his forehead...a star-like patch glow brightly as his hair was blown longer by an invincible wind. Silver streak his dark mane as grunts drowned his voice. The mist was clouding her vision as Serena tried to grab him. "ENDY!!" A dark blue light exploded from him as a spiral horn shot from his forehead. "ENDY!!!"
The mist vanished as mysteriously as it had appeared and there in the place of the proud prince was an equally proud looking unicorn.
