Dimension Traveling: Beast Quest
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I don't own Beast Quest only my own characters
AN-I will probably make it one beast battle per chapter otherwise it would go for far too long. Also sorry for taking so long to update.
After three days of traveling the companions had finally made it to the Western Ocean. Andrew was pissed off with Sepron for sending a tidal wave at them but all he had to do was call out Kyogre to stop the wave and send it back into the Ocean. Kyogre had kept the Ocean calm as they rode to the shore.
Once at the shore Andrew called back his Kyogre and Gogoat before walking up to the shore, turning around and saying, "I'll leave you to your own devices. Meet me on that jagged rock island once you have a boat."
Andrew then bent his knees and did a backflip through the air before diving down and changing into his Basilisk form and plunging beneath the waves.
Tom and Elenna just looked at each other strangely before walking to where they could see some smoke rising form a house in the distance.
At the house they met with the locals and managed to convince them to help prepare and mend a little dingy that hadn't been smashed to bits with the tidal waves. They work hard to repair it and finished after a run in with a dangerously large fire that could have burnt the boat to bits. Luckily Tom saved it with his shield and they left the boat overnight to dry and harden the tar in the hole.
Meanwhile Andrew was currently exploring the underwater realm of the Western Ocean and occasionally passing into Gwildor's Ocean but not venturing too far because of Gwildor's sea beast. He had passed over Sepron's lair many times but the serpent was cowering in fear from The King of Serpents roaming the ocean.
As night fell Andrew swam towards the island that he had pointed out to Tom and Elenna earlier that day. Calling out Talonflame to keep him warm during the night he fell asleep in a small cave he had hollowed out.
In the morning Tom and Elenna were rowing as fast as they could towards the rocky spire because their boat was taking on water. They just made it to the island before there was too much water to bail out.
They collapsed on the shore breathing heavily and massaging their sore limbs. Andrew then walked up to the duo and repaired the boat and took the water out before healing their muscles. Elenna spoke first, "You know, you could have help us repair the boat back on the mainland."
"I could have but I busy exploring the Ocean, scaring Sepron and you need to learn these things anyway."
"What do you mean scaring Sepron?" Asked Tom
"Well what I just transformed into is called a Basilisk, sometimes referred to as The King of Serpents. A Basilisk is has very poisonous fangs and its stare can kill if you look into its eyes."
He told the two a little more about the Basilisk before they got onto business. Andrew would first attempt to destroy the chain using his Basilisk form and if that didn't work than he and Tom swim down and unlock Sepron's collar.
With the plan set in place Andrew transformed and Tom gripped onto his crest as he dived beneath the waves.
After following the chain down to a certain length Andrew turned and snapped it. Because Malvel wasn't expecting anything to have as big fangs as Sepron that would easily snap the chains. Unfortunately only the part that wasn't attached to Sepron disappeared meaning that they would have to go down and free the collar.
Many unsuccessful tries to get to the collar later Andrew brought them up to the surface to enact Plan C. speaking in parsletongue he called Sepron to the rocky crag where they were. He could feel Malvel's enchantments working hard to stop the Beast but the pull to follow a parselmouth was more compelling and soon Sepron had his head out of the water and was staring at them.
"Yes Master"
"Greetings Sepron. My friends and I wish to free you from the dark wizards curse put upon you but to do that we must take off that chain. Is this fine with you?"
"More than fine Master."
"Okay just lay your neck against shore. Tom will put his sword into the keyhole and then you will be free. Okay Tom unlock the collar."
Sepron lay his head near the three friends and Tom walked up to the serpent. He fit his sword into the key lock and the collar and chain shimmered before disappearing.
"Thank you Sepron. You may return to the depthsss"
"As you say, Speaker. I will leave you a gift." With that Sepron disappeared beneath the waves but not before dropping a tooth in Tom's hand.
Tom walked back and asked, "Why didn't you just do that hissing thing earlier?"
"Because you needed experience and that was only for a last resort as Malvel wouldn't have expected the serpent tongue to have more authority then himself. All serpents must obey a speaker of the serpent tongue."
"Yeah that makes sense but right now we have got ourselves another token for my shield." Tom placed the tooth in the shield which emitted another bright light similar to what happened at Ferno's mountain.
When the light receded the tooth was fixed firmly within the shield and in Andrew's staff there was a small sliver of the tooth. When Andrew pressed it a small barrier appeared around him.
"Well, I will see you back on shore my friends." With that Andrew walked into the Ocean with the shield of light surrounding him."
He transformed into a Basilisk once he had passed Sepron's lair returning back to shore well before the others.
Once on shore he cast some drying and warming charms on himself before sitting down to meditate with Gogoat.
Tom and Elenna returned and explained that they would have no more problems with tidal waves before leaving on Storm and Andrew on Gogoat.
Having galloped far enough away they slowed to a trot when Aduro appeared and congratulated them before telling them their next quest and asking if Andrew would teach him parsletongue.
"Sorry Aduro but you have to be born with it or be able to transform into a magical snake."
Aduro agreed and the three friends rode off to the north.
AN-Chapter 3 complete and two beasts down, ten left. I will try to update more often but not sure if I'll be able to. See ya.
