Endless Dreams Chapter 7: Morrigan's story
Thoughts are in ' ' Spoken Dialogue is in " "
"We should leave, NOW!" Morrigan told Jon severely.
"Why?" He asked, he saw no reason to leave so quickly.
"Pyron always sends more assassins if the first one doesn't get the job done." She explained.
"How does he know Rayne was defeated?" Jon questioned.
"He knows believe me."
Jon turned to run into the house to get Felicia. Before he stepped inside he turned back to the succubus.
"Do you think you could cleanup this mess?" Jon said motioning to Rayne's various body parts. He was positive Felicia wouldn't want to come out to see that.
"I'll try." She replied with a sigh.
Jon quietly walked through the house to the room Felicia was in. She was lying under several blankets. Her tail was poking out of the side of the covers.
'She's so beautiful.' Jon thought. He didn't want to disturb her slumber. She looked so comfortable. He sat on the bed and stared at her. He brushed some hair out of her face, which caused her to stir slightly. "Felicia." He whispered.
Her eyes opened slowly and she smiled.
"What is it Jon?" She asked touching his cheek with her paw. Jon grabbed her paw and held it to his cheek. Her touch made him feel good. She was so gentle.
'I wish we could stay like this forever.' He thought, 'But we can't' he remembered Morrigan. "We have to go." He said softly.
Felicia wasn't one to argue with Jon, she learned when he was being serious, and right now he was serious.
"Okay."
They had been walking for three hours. Jon, now in his werewolf state, was walking in the middle. To his left was Felicia and to his right was Morrigan. Few words had been exchanged between them. Every so often Felicia would ask where Rayne was or why Morrigan was there, but Jon just answered with an, "I'll tell you later." Felicia was very confused, Rayne was gone and now Morrigan was with them. Jon decided not tell her what happened since it would just worry her.
As always, Jon loathed silence so he was driven to break it. "Where are you taking us?" He asked turning to Morrigan. He hated being led around like a dog on a leash, especially when he didn't trust the person leading him.
"You will know when we arrive there." She answered. Jon stopped in his tracks.
"You mean to tell me that you expect us to follow you with no idea of where we're going?" Jon growled.
"Yes." She answered calmly and continued walking.
"Damn." Jon laughed and started forward again. They were walking through what seemed like a desert. The air was heavy and hot, a very uncomfortable day. The desert had black trees all over and black bushes. The sand that was all over was gray. Even the sun seemed to be silver.
"What is this?" Felicia asked whoever was listening.
"It is the Fallen Desert." Morrigan said walking a little faster.
"Fallen Desert?" Jon asked confused.
"Yes, this place is full of great evil. We must hurry if we want to live." Morrigan still sounded very calm.
'Why is she so calm?' Jon thought to himself. The three quickened their pace. After another five hours of walking it began to grow dark. The sunset was a shade of silver but seemed to be more eerie than beautiful. Morrigan stopped walking and turned to Jon and Felicia who were walking behind her.
"We need to stop." She sighed. They were in the middle of the Fallen Desert. There was nothing but black trees and bushes for miles in every direction.
"Wait a minute didn't you say we were in danger here?" Jon crossed his arms.
"If we stay out in the open we will be in danger." Morrigan said looking around the desert.
"Well I don't see any shelter around here so what's the plan?" Jon asked. Morrigan seemed to be looking for something in particular. "What's up?" Jon inquired.
"Shhhhh." Morrigan looked at the ring on her right hand. It had an arrow on it that was pointing directly in front of her. "I had my servants build special protection spheres all over this desert." She began to explain. "Only problem is they are invisible. This ring shows me the one that's closest." She said waving her ring finger at them. "Without this ring nothing can touch or see the spheres."
"How can you be sure?" Jon asked.
"I'm sure." She pressed a button on the ring. A white light flashed in front of them. Jon and Felicia closed their eyes, the light growing to bright to bear. Morrigan pressed the same button on her ring, which caused the light to form into a dome shaped building. It wasn't large, slightly bigger than a house.
"Wow." Jon said sarcastically. He walked up to the dome and reached out to touch it.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Morrigan smiled. Jon shook his head and placed his hand on the dome. Thousands of volts of electricity were sent through his body. He didn't budge.
"That's not so bad. Are we supposed to rely on such a weak toy to protect us?" Jon laughed removing his hand.
'He really is getting stronger.' Morrigan thought amazed at Jon's strength. "We should get inside before it gets dark." Morrigan walked up to the front of the dome and placed her hand on it. A door slid open in front of her.
"Hey how come it didn't shock you?" Jon asked.
"Because I have the ring on." She answered walking into the dome. Jon snickered and stepped into the dome, motioning for Felicia to follow. The interior of the dome wasn't exactly fit for three. In one corner was a bed draped in maroon silk sheets and pillows. In another corner was a small fireplace. In the other corner was a chair with an oak desk next to it. The last corner was empty. On the ground was a beautiful carpet in the shape of a heart.
"Got any food around here?" Jon asked. They hadn't eaten for a while and Jon brought up the subject everyone was trying to avoid.
"No, These domes are meant to provide shelter not food." Morrigan retorted.
"Well I'm hungry." Jon growled.
"Sorry." Morrigan said sitting on the bed.
"Then what are we gonna do? I need something to take me mind off my stomach." Jon sighed.
"I was hoping we could talk." Felicia finally spoke up. "There's a lot I want to know."
"Yeah Morrigan, there are some questions I have that need answering too." Jon said leaning against the wall. Felicia took a seat on the chair.
"Okay I'll talk, but first tell me how you two came to travel together."
Jon looked at Felicia. "You want to tell her or should I?" Jon asked.
"Go ahead." Felicia said sitting back in the chair.
Jon told everything to Morrigan. How he had found Felicia, how he fought Donovan, how they were ambushed in the forest, how they defeated Bishamon, and how they met Rayne.
"And that's everything." He finished.
"So there are more Darkstalkers after Pyron then just us." Morrigan whispered to herself. "Okay since you were so honest with me I will answer whatever questions you have. She said showing a bit of gratitude.
"You can ask her your questions first Jon." Felicia said.
"You spoke of another force behind Pyron, do you know who it is?" Jon asked.
"I don't know who or what it is. But I do know that it is much more powerful than Pyron."
"How did you find out about it?" Jon asked again. He had hundreds of questions that needed answers.
"Pyron attacked Demitri's castle. Demitri and I were fighting Pyron for what seemed like forever. Pyron was a lot stronger than I was but Demitri seemed to be as strong as he was. I was injured but Demitri continued to fight Pyron trying to save me. Demitri even seemed to gain the advantage at one point in the battle. I knew Pyron was going to be destroyed. He was almost gone. Then it happened. An even darker presence entered Demitri's caste. It looked like a flaming shadow. When it came into the room Pyron seemed to get his strength back and then grew even stronger. The black shadow seemed to be talking a different speech, probably casting some sort of spell. After that Pyron killed Demitri with no problem." Tears began to fall from Morrigan's eyes. She still hadn't recovered from the untimely death of Demitri.
"Are you okay?" Jon asked sympathetically.
"I'm fine." She continued. "After Demitri died Pyron came toward me. I couldn't defend myself and I knew he was going to kill me."
"But he didn't." Jon interrupted. "That's another question I had, why doesn't Pyron kill you?"
"You didn't let me finish." Morrigan said quietly. "The dark shadow saved me. He stopped Pyron."
"How can you be sure Pyron didn't just decide not to kill you?" Felicia asked.
"I know. Pyron seemed to be angry that he couldn't kill me. All the times I have fought Pyron he gets angry at the end of the fight because he can't finish me off." She sighed. "After I lost Demitri I had been fighting Pyron. Every effort was pointless. Then I learned something that would help me fight him."
"And what was that?" Jon asked.
"Something I cannot disclose right now." Morrigan smiled. "Ever since then I have been following you two."
The room grew quiet. Jonathan still couldn't say what he had on his mind. The silence started to get on his nerves but he didn't know what to say. He decided he would have to tell Morrigan eventually so he forced himself to talk.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
"For what?" Morrigan asked. She still had teary eyes and Jon felt even worse looking into them.
"I was there." He sighed.
"You were there?"
"I could feel you, Demitri, Pyron, and even the dark shadow fighting each other. I felt everything, how Demitri almost killed Pyron and how the dark shadow gave his energy to Pyron. I was afraid. I couldn't bring myself to help you." A tear fell from Jon's eye. He could have helped but he didn't.
Morrigan and Felicia were startled. Felicia felt bad for him. She stood up and walked over to Jon.
"It's okay Jonathan." Felicia said giving him a hug. Jon wrapped his arms around Felicia.
"It's better that you didn't help us." Morrigan smiled.
"What?" Jon and Felicia both said taken back. Felicia turned around and stood next to Jon.
"If you would have been killed there would be no more hope." She said quietly. "But what I don't understand is why you were afraid. You have fought Donovan and Bishamon with no fear. Why were you afraid of Pyron?" Morrigan inquired.
"I wasn't afraid of Pyron. The dark shadow he destroyed my life." Jon said quietly.
"What do you mean?" Felicia asked Jon.
"I'd rather not talk about it." Jon answered.
They were all quiet once again. Jon was trying not to remember that day. The day the dark shadow destroyed his home and his life. 'Please someone say something.' Jon thought to himself. It was easier to forget things when you were listening to someone.
"Morrigan?" Felicia said.
"What is it Felicia?"
"Why were we in danger outside?"
"Pyron or the dark shadow released fiends in this territory." Morrigan replied.
"What kind of fiends?" Felicia asked.
"They are called Chaos Behemoths. I have never encountered one, but every one of my servants that fought one was brutally killed. They are said to be very strong but I don't know much about them. The one thing I do know is they have the most terrible howl in the world." Morrigan finished.
"Hope we don't run into one of those." Jon laughed. A long and eerie howl rang through the night. "Was that one of them?" Jon asked. The howl struck fear into all three of them.
"Yes it was." Morrigan said quietly. "But don't worry we will be fine in here." The sphere began to shake violently.
"What the hell is that?" Jon yelled.
"How did it find us?" Morrigan whispered to herself.
"I don't think that matters now." Jon sighed. "The only thing that matters now is how we're gonna kill this thing."
