ZOOOOM!!
'My mind was being teleported. Yes, I was indeed, teleported again, but not physically, the familiar space bestowed beneath my sights. The wall, move forward with a flickering light, then, a voice echoing through it.'
'I know that voice, he is Martheuw Cereun, if I am not mistaken.'
"Yes, I am indeed,"
"Huh, why didnt you tell me, the Four-legged was the Moonatoria?"
'I was so angry, if he just tell me the future then, maybe, my parents were still alive.'
"I'm sorry for your lost, but that is not our responsibility to discuss about the future of this world, if only we're allowed to, why not?"
"I hate you!"
"Why are you hating me, did I make evil thing?
"For seven years, where have you gone? I was looking for you."
'I wanted to ask if he is belong to any of the Constellar entity...but, I don't know, Martheuw Cereun, is sound, a name of a guy..ehmm.'
"I said, you will know me in due time, but today, you must choose, between, Life and death."
"Why?"
"But, If you wanted to save your people, who were suffering, writhed in pain, and if you win, without accepting the presence of death entity—"
'Uhm, Death entity?'
"Then, I am willing to be your guardian entity."
"Really?"
'But who are you actually?'
'Wait a minute, what is this death entity? Is he belong to the Constellar entity too?'
"Humans are not actually mortal being, but after the apocalypse in the universe, death entity was born. Human, became mortal."
"So, you came from the universe, huh?"
"After so many generations, people fought one another, kill each other. However, they will dying eventually, even without the presence of violence."
''May I ask you...?"
"Go on...ask me!" Xerxez said.
"Are you able to win in the challenge, without
"Ho there, young man! One bout doth suffice for this field. Yield thee now whilst thou yet standest—else press on, and rue thy folly ere the duel be done."
'whaa...I forgot, I was standing in front of the chubby bellied king.'
"What? I can't really understand you?"
'Oh, look at his poised, he can't stand straight, maybe his chubby belly was too heavy, his legs position in a strong defensive stance, I'm sure I can't let him down if I will try to stumble him.
[Let the battle....BEGIN!] The speaker reverberating through out the amphitheatre arena.
THUD!!! THUD!!!
'His eyes, flickering with fire, but he is not transforming, into a grizzly bear, yet. I can say, he is not moving. Ow, I get it, he can't walk, so, he let me approach him. Obviously, he is obese. He locked his feet on the ground, a testament of his powerful weight, if I get closer, his clutching arms brimming with smoke, an Ursa energy radiating through his skin, one grip, my bones will be shattered. I have to be careful.'
"Come hither, and fight!"
'I move slowly, anticipating his possible attacks. From his position, a punch is possible. But, if he try to break my arms by gripping— I will be toasted!'
"Are you afraid, little man? Come make a move, show me what you've got in seven years of hiding. You know, your father... His sword, melted like a molten rocks, and died...like a rooster, choked! And your mother...died in the same, painful agonizing, and grotesquely helpless!"
"I know..."
'It was hurts, and I hate him, but, now, the pain that still lingering , was not all about my parents anymore, but it is all about, my country, my people, and our future...but I know he is trying to make a move verbally, attacking his prey, internally. Hmmm, an obese cannot fight with an aggressive attack, therefore, he rely on his trap.
'With his position, the weakest point of king Hedromus was at his back. He cannot move fast at human form, but, if he transform into a beast, it will be dangerous. The only option is to attack him at the back, while he is not in a beast form.'
"Everyone, don't be afraid, look at him, I know he is calculating the situation, we have to trust him!" Matheros said.
"Look, prince Xerxez is now running, gliding toward at the back of king Hedromus!" Someone shouted.
"Whoa, that's it, Hedromus weakness is, movement, and so, his back is his weakness."
CLIMB!!!
King Hedromus laughed with suprised.
However, in a swift movement, Xerxez feet climb at the chubby bellied king, like a climbing on tree. His knees, poke at the shoulders of King Hedromus, as he ride on him, and his dagger, gleaming at the air, like a flying robin. The blades sharply stop at the mid air.
"This was it!"
'Head...neck...or back? You killed my parents, you killed Matheros brother, and oppressed the Thallerion's people.'
"I WILL KILL YOU!"
King Hedromus, in his disparate move, grabbed Xerxez and hurdle him hard in the ground, his dagger, fell. He was wounded, by the grip of king Hedromus.
BOOOGHSSSS!!! Awwww!!!!
'Almost there! OUCH! It hurts, I feel like my bones was dislocated. I saw Matheros shocked, but still encouraging me to stand up.'
"Don't give up, you can do it, trust your heart, trust your mind!" He shouted.
"Hahahha, pheeeew!! I never expected that move!" King Hedromus exhaled. Then, Moonatorian soldiers start banging their shield and screeching.
BANG-BANG-BANG!!!! SCREEEECH!!!
'Is he dancing? His belly jiggling by rhythmic noise of Moonatorian soldiers. Well, make yourself busy!'
He run again, grabbing the dagger at the ground, but as he expected, king Hedromus response will step on it, so, then, Xerxez, kick his knee, as strong as he could. Allowing the gravity pull him down, so, king Hedromus fell loudly like a giant boulder fell from the cliff.
WHOOSH!!!! BOOOGHSSSS!!!! SCRRRHHHHHHHHSSSS!!!!
'I saw the dagger, electrocuted him, forcefully. His leg was paralyzed, and his eyes flickering...I think he is trying to transform into beast, but he can't.
'The people around me was shock, their mouth wide open, and stunned like a statue. With that situation , I know he was so embarrassed, he can't even move now because his right leg was paralyzed, and due to his obesity. I grab the dagger and walk beside him, and stare at him with a grim.'
"No, don't kill me." Hedromus eyes flickering, but the power of Ursa entity was weakening that's why he can't transform.
'What? He is begging?'
"Xerxez, kill him!!!" Matheros shouted.
A man echoed in his mind "Choose, Life!"
"Please, forgive me...spare my life and I will promise, I will never destroy your land again."
'He is sincere with his word, I utterly, utterly...feel... mercy? Hump, he killed my parents, brutally, mercilessly?'
"Please... please... I want to go back in Moonatoria. I want to live with my son, Harthur, he hate me, if I can return, I wish he can forgive me.
"No, kill him!"
"He is a murderer!!!! Kill him now" A collective chorus of people around him shouting.
'My grandpa told me, forgiveness is a blessing to everyone. What is this trouble in my mind?
After a few stare, he then, move back, loosen his grip on the dagger.
'He...He still a Human, pawn by the Ursa entity.'
"Go back now in Moonatoria, and seek forgiveness to your son."
****************************************************************************************************
'What is he doing? He supposed to kill him! A beast is a beast, they are not worthy of forgiveness!'
"Xerxez!" Matheros shouted, and the prince look at him. His large machete gleaming in rage.
"Matheros, enough." The prince stop him, gripping his hand. As he rage, towards at king Hedromus.
"Why, Xerxez?"
'How can he defeat him? He just kicked him? Is his spirit energy, level up? I can't believe, he will just defeat King Hedromus by just one blow of kick!'
"We have to kill him, or else we will be toasted!!"
"Look at him, he is paralyzed, he can't transform into a grizzly bear."
"That's it?!!!!" Matheros snorted. "How about the lives he had destroyed? I can't believe you can just forgive him?"
'If not because Xerxez holding my hand, I will beheaded the king of Moonatoria infront of his people!'
"What for? It's been seven years had passed, killing him is not worth satisfying, besides, he just spook us in the forest. He still human."
'whaaaa, how can he so naive about violence? Anyway, king Hedromus is a beast, why he never transform during the duel?'
"What did you do to him?"
"Ah, nothing, I just kicked him! A kick power."
"What? Kick power!?" He mused. But suddenly, the reporter came and rushing.
The prince walk leaving the king of Moonatoria on the ground. His hand, hold a dagger, his vengeance was gone. He inhaled. But, in that very moment, Matheros saw a growing object behind Xerxez, it was black, bearded with grizzly fur.
"Xerxez!!!!" Matheros shouted desperately, hinted with absolute fear.
A fear that he never been expected. "Growl!!!!" It lunged at him, with ferocious moved. King Hedromus now was trying to kill the prince but... The prince's hand, with a dagger, flaring with intense heat and light, electrocute him grotesquely. And stab him forcefully with full of vengeance.
