The Rose Garden

Chimera Unveiled

The frightful shout that Tothaz made shock across the land affecting ebon everywhere. The effect was purification so the Ebon ran towards their only salvation, the Chimera. The Chimera sat on a throne of bones of successful hunts held together with zeva. Bones of unicorns, minaturs, and natives can easily be seen.

A large ebon, that looked more cunning and powerful, sat in her lap awoke from a nap. Chimera had heard the shout too. In a heavily blood stained woven fabric that looked old covered her modestly but not hiding the fact she is a woman. With sleeves decorated with foreign symbols of strength and blessings from Odin. With armor covering torso and arms stitched together from various hides of creatures slain. She remembered Tothaz's voice from centuries ago so she was curious as to the reason for the outburst.

The ebon born with Rosalia's first arrival stood very still praying to not be called to speak about their creation.

Chimera appeared before the little one in a flash. No warning just did almost like she read it's thoughts. She asked in a voice that showered dominance, "Who made you appear? The Titro don't appear through me, someone brought you." The ebon racked with fear replied in tongues. "Rosalia is it? Such a pretty name easily to be crushed. So she was killed already." Looking for her Warriors and noticed nothing more. Letting out a shout of her own rivaling Tothaz's, "She was killed already right!!" she expected them to appear but they would not.

"So she not only lives she killed them? Not possible, the guardian Tothaz must've saved her then. No matter I will kill her myself in due time."

Suddenly more Warrior ebon were created from a mist that spread out from Chimera stronger than ever. Stroking them lovingly she gave them instructions to not kill the wanderer named Rosalia but to make her life miserable whenever they can.

She sauntered back to an area behind her throne to a cave, her pet ebon followed close behind. No other dared to follow the Cthac for it would eat whatever it desired, even other ebon.

She went through a door and saw her teacher and only friend, A'ma'rith. A'ma'rith, a dragon guardian that did not guard but rather helped her in her goal of the garden path. A'ma'rith spoke in a lazy tone, "So Thosvalgam how are you doing today? The shout that you made didn't sound good."

She shook when she heard her birth name spoken to her, Thosvalgam didn't cause the natives to shake in fear the same way Chimera did. She responded in an angry tone, "My Warriors slain by Tothaz and that caused them to let another wanderer escape. That's the third one that's gotten away from me in the last century."

Not caring for the matter A'ma'rith just told her to either finish the wanderer personally or to send the new Warriors after her but to not let her learn zeva. A scoff was retaliation as Thosvalgam had already made her plan, to kill her personally in five years. Let her learn a bit of zeva control it'll never be comparable to her nearly 1200 years. A'ma'rith rolled her eyes prepared for a bloody war to happen in the coming years and to practice once again. A'ma'rith stood and Thosvalgam knew what was about to begin so she sent Cthac to the throne room.

Rosalia alert in bed in her black shirt and the moon still in the sky. Her head pounded with such pain it felt like a heavyweight fight was sitting on her head. She dared not to move to much so she didn't get anything for the pain at this time.

She looked at the time and saw it to be 4 in the morning; not what she thought would happen but she was so tired to care that she fell asleep in a moment.

On her arm there was a soft glow of a mark forming from the amulet. This meant she was now allowed to train with Tothaz. It looked like a cappuccino birthmark when the glow faded.

She woke up at noon with a really bad headache. When she went to the kitchen full of white marble counters and light blue walls. While looking for her mom she recalled her time on Rosé and the warning Tothaz gave her.

Finding her mom on the porch with coffee she asked her, "Can I get something for my headache? And maybe some help with breakfast?"

Her mom quick as lightning went and had her breakfast ready with ibuprofen on the side in a few minutes. Her mom strong inside and out always cared for her in the most loving manner. She looked like Daáe in Phantom of the Opera with curly black hair going part way down her back with tastefully toned muscles that could do anything.

Her mom asked Rosalia, "How did you sleep?" Unsure of a response because of her adventures in another world told her, "As well as I could." with a sad smile as a response her mom told her to go back to bed after her food.

Rosalia responded with an okay and finished her rice cereal and headed back to her room.

This was almost a blessing, she was allowed to go back to Rosé and she didn't waste a moment to do so.
