Chapter 5
The legend of the three headed dog
Cerebrus
"Well done girls you have proven yourselves worthy of you first assignment" Explained Viktor.
"What do you mean proven ourselves? I thought we already had….. o.0" replied Kora.
"Well your first assignment will need more than skills and courage. Yo will need yo use your powers wisely. You are to go to an old church just up in the hills. It is forbidden by all mortals. There you will find the most ferocious creature. Bring it to me alive and I will give you your main assignment. If you did you will come through the wall and be sent back again." Said Markus, pushing them out of the portal, and back into the cave. He thrust a map into Carli's hands and they dove into the water. It was far colder then they had imagined. They managed to pull Carli out of the gap again, and as their heads broke the surface, the icy wind whipped their faces, blowing sand in their eyes.
They rushed out of the water but had no time to dry off or get warm. They ran up the beach in the opposite direction that they had originally came and headed for the hills.
After sprinting for what seemed like an eternity they caught a glimpse of the sunlight peaking over the edge of the grassy hill.
"Oh I hope light doesn't hurt us" said Carli with an anxious look.
They sprinted on and saw that just in the middle of the grass, the church. It looked rather more like an old temple, with a large three headed beat carved into one of the walls. The sun shone right onto Kora's face and she began to cower.
"Eek it burns! I'm melting!" she screeched.
" . no your not." Sighed Carli as she pulled her friend to her feet.
"Ehe " sighed Kora as she followed her friend down the dark stairs.
Kora started imitating the theme of a movie she had watched calls "Jaws" but Carli soon knocked it out of her.
"Shhh!"
They were in a dark room. A large inscription was carved onto the walls, and there were 4 boxes in separate corners of the room.
Carli walked up to the wall
It read:
3 beasts untamed,
One collar to hold them,
Keep them apart,
Or face eternal doom,
The world can't put up,
With what destruction they cause,
The dog with three heads,
And 4 over sized paws.
Apart they must stay,
Or the world will decease
Do not be fooled!
"Err…. What the?" Kora exchanged glances with her friend.
'I wonder what that means.' Thought Carli.
Kora walked over to one of the boxes. She opened the lid slightly and burst out laughing. Carli walked over.
"Some ferocious beast this is." Said Carli, giggling. She reached her hand into the box and pulled out a small black puppy with glowing purple eyes. It sniffed her nose and then all of a sudden, bit her and leaped out of her arms, barking at another box.
"Why that little! That hurt you know." Carli rubbed her nose and opened another box.
She pulled out another puppy, which was also black with purple eyes. It scrambled out of her arms and joined the first one as they ran towards the third box.
There was yet another puppy. But quite different from the others. He was white, with glowing blue eyes and red marks across his face.
"Err…. What's in the last one?" Asked Kora.
"I dunno. The inscription says don't put all four things together, but surly these little angels aren't evil. Look at that pretty little face."
Carli bent over to pat the little white one but it snapped at her fingers so she thought better to leave it alone. Massaging her sore nose she moved towards the last box. It was larger than the others. Inside was a collar. It was gold, with red jewel on the end of it. Was it a ruby, or was it like the one that appeared on Carli's head when she used Pyro.
She picked it up, letting curiosity get the better of her, but dropped it. Kora looked at a small mark on the lid of the collar box.
One of the black puppies stuck its head inside the collar. The other black one followed suit. Then the white one moved into the middle.
"Cerebrus." Kora read out.
Carli looked at her and immediately understood the writing on the wall.
"Oh Shit" She sighed and watched as the dog grew larger. The white puppy turned as black as the others, but kept its blue eyes and red marks.
The girls weren't allowed to kill it, so they changed into their immortal forms and jumped up the wall, in order to miss the giant paw that was trying to crush them.
"Carli!" called Kora.
"Oh yeah sure blame me"
"You opened the box"
"You didn't stop me"
The dog took a snap at them and managed to pluck out one of Kora's feathers.
"Ouch!"
Carli threw a large rock at it but it only hit its nose, which agitated the dog even more.
"Uh... new plan" called Kora as she cupped her hands out in front of her. Her hands were glowing a dark blue, and then she separated them and thrust an icy barrier around the large canine. It broke through it and leapt on top of Kora. The ground underneath her cracked as she was crushed into it. She couldn't breath. Carli panicked.
"Here doggy doggy doggy" called Carli, distracting it.
It charged at her and as she jumped aside hit the wall. It hit it so hard that the wall fell on top of it, knocking him out.
"Is it that easy?" Kora laughed.
They dragged it back to the seaside and were teleported back to the underworld using one of Kora's new gadgets.
"Very good girls. Now your next task." Said Lucian, with a smile appearing on his face.
Well Kora is writing the next one. Our order got mixed up. Plz read and review. Cerebrus has another part to play later
