Ari (Child of the Beastman Goddess)

We got transported inside a familiar palace with a familiar throne made of bones and skulls. Walls were made of dark marbles surrounded with eternal flaming torches and glistening crystals that brightened up with our presence. There’s a huge cauldron beside the throne that allows one to oversee the world of the beastmen and the ceiling was too high and dark as if it was covered by the shadow of the Abyss.

“Welcome back my dear children… I’ve long been waiting for you… Oh! Interesting! Are you looking down on me?” he growled as he stood up from his throne and walked towards us wearing a black chained armor with the mark of the Winged Black Wolf.

We were kept down by the shadows controlled by the god of death, but Ayla broke free as she transformed to her passive – aggressive form and ran in front of me to block her father’s way.

“You won’t be able to touch Arie as long as I’m still alive, ‘Father’, ” she snarled while holding a sword against him.

“Hah! So you will only call me ‘Father’ with her around. I see… You were raised by Lev as his daughter’s dog. I should have finished her off a long time ago and brought you back with Hera,” he grumbled furiously while transforming to his aggressive form.

He’s a Winged Black Wolf like Ayla, but his form looks more like a winged werewolf and was a colossal compared to a regular Winged Wolf.

“Shadow of the Abyss, contain these children,” he retorted, lifting his arms wide open.

“You won’t have your way!” I roared as I broke free from the shadows and transformed to my passive – aggressive form.

I flew up and tried to suppress the shadows as Ayla attacked her father with her sword.

He dodged all her attacks so I drew my bow and arrows as I attacked from above, leaving my guard open. I suddenly got pulled down by the shadow as my shot missed Sephtis.

“Nice try child,” he sneered as he howled to call the shadows while dodging his daughter’s attacks.

I did my best to suppress the shadows, but they were excessive in number as Ayla suddenly got repressed by the shadows I couldn’t suppress.

“Let her go!” I screamed as I changed my bow into a sword and leaped from above as I pointed my sword downwards as I fell in his direction.

He suddenly disappeared and slashed the side of my metal armor, gashing the skin with his sharp claws. I jolted as I hissed due to the sharp pain as I faltered to the ground and got restrained by the shadows.

“Arie!” Ayla howled as she broke away from the shadows to dash towards her father with a spear in her hand.

He caught her daughter’s spear and threw her away as the shadow caught her at his command.

“I’m quite sad, Ayla. I’m doing this for you and yet you dare to attack your father. I have no other choice then!” he mumbled as he approached Ayla’s direction.

“I didn’t want any of this!” Ayla cried as she struggled from the shadows.

I broke free from the shadows as I used my power to refrain him from going near her while suppressing the shadows around me.

Ayla broke free and tried to pierce his chest with her sword.

I felt the stinging pain on my side as my blood gushed out, causing me to shudder, “Ugh!”

He broke free from my grasp as he dodged and grabbed Ayla by her head and arm and I was suddenly constricted by the shadows pinning me down on my knees and restricting my hands.

“I think you need to sleep for now,” he implied, as he made her unconscious, placing chains of restrictions on her.

“Now… There’s only the two of us… Shall we play?” he sneered as he walked near me.

“Aren’t you too old to play games?” I taunted, looking at him sharply.

“Come to think of it. You looked exactly like her. Why don’t you just stay here? We’ll have fun together,” he smirked as he grappled my face with his beastly hand.

“No way! I’ll kill you even at the cost of my life,” I declared.

“In your condition? Hah! You’re making fun of me. It’s cute though. Why don’t I start with your newly acquired weakness? It will be so much fun. I love seeing your horrified look. It’s so exhilarating… You really looked hot back then. Burning hot..,” he grunted as he tightened his grasp, causing my cheeks to bleed from his sharp claws while looking down somewhere.

He lowered his hand, slicing my armor open. I panicked and snapped as I released my power that caused an explosion, causing him to slide back from the impact and shadows faltered.

“Stubborn just like your parents! DIE THEN!!!” he howled as he called out thousands of shadows that clung onto me and prevented me from moving.

I used all my strength to break free and flew towards him with a sword in my hand.

He dodged and caught my hand, then pulled me near to grab my head as he flipped me back and shoved me to the ground.

I blacked out briefly from the impact of my head hitting the hard floor. Staring blankly at what was happening-I was nauseous and felt my stomach flip.

I could feel the warm blood gushing at the back of my head as my stomach heaved.

The crest on my chest glistened and warmed up as the pain on my head lessened due to the power of the water on Dylan’s oath.

I kicked him as hard as I could and shot an arrow that pierced through his right shoulder as he flew into the wall. It bled lightly as it didn’t hit any vital spot.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Ayla… Wake up!” I screamed in my mind.

My head, hands and feet felt numb and cold as I was transformed back to my passive form due to weakness. I heaved due to nausea, drooping to the ground as my head and side bled excessively.

The shadows surrounded me and pinned me down defenseless.

He stood up with a furious look and screamed, “DIE!!!”

I raised a shield to protect myself, despite the constraints, but it shattered before my eyes.
