DESCENDANTS OF THE BLACK MOON

Chapter 21

And today, will definitely be that day.

"Give her some herbs!" The king said to an elderly woman referring to his daughter.

He turned his back on her as he locked his hands behind his backs. Three soldiers walked up to him and asked, "king, what should we do now?"

"Stay here, Ravana will be back any moment from now. Be physical alert and make sure, the princess is well protected." The king pointed out with his gaze fixed at nothing in particular.

The soldiers nodded their heads and went back to their places.

One, two, three minutes has passed and Ravana still haven't descended yet with his monsters, and at the same time, the princess still haven't woken up. She was still motionless on that same spot.

He turned to look at his daughter as the elderly woman squeeze some herbs into her mouth. He silently hoped and prayed that his daughter was just unconscious for now and nothing else.

The chattering sounds of things in his room has distracted him from his thoughts. He diverted his gaze from his daughter to the entrance of his of his room. Though, his room door has been pulled out, he couldn't probably view everything in it unless he takes a step forward.

"I think Ravana is here; get prepared!" One of the soldiers said as other soldiers nodded their heads; holding even more firmly to their swords.

Cautiously, the king began taking some steps forward. With each and every steps he took, the soldiers behind him never seized to take a step forward.

No doubts, they were all terrified, including the king. Would Ravana's and his monsters descend in his room or what?

Even before they got to the entrance of his room, another chattering sound of mirrors or cups could be heard in his room and they became startled that they had to take some refraining steps. This time, the chattering sound was so loud. It was as if someone slammed it really hard or angrily on the floor.

They all stood motionless for a while; silently watching in anticipation whatever comes next. After some few seconds has passed and no sounds could be heard, they began taking some steps forward with the king as the lead.

The people wondered if Ravana and his monsters were in the king's room at that moment. Would they see him and his monsters just the way they are, without taking up some one else's facial utterances? Okay, that will definitely be terrifying. From what they heard monsters are some sought of ugly and scary looking creatures.

The King walked to the door post of his room and summoned up enough courage before taking a very close room of his room.

He couldn't believe his eyes as to what he saw. He turned to the soldiers and said, "everything is still in order. There seems not to be a single broken piece in there."

The soldiers batted their lashes in stupefaction and there decided to see for themselves. Truly, what the king said was the reality. His room was the same as ever before, they where in heaven's name was those chattering sounds coming from? Where exactly? They turned to look at themselves in bewilderment and the only thing they could do was raise a questionable brow at themselves.

The shook his head and turned his back to go check up on his daughter when he and the people of Nazirites heard another chattering sounds, obviously coming from his room.

The King turned around to look in his room, but then everything was still in order.

At this point, they were beginning to wonder if the chattering sounds was only coming from their imagination or they could now hear things.

"Ravana is obviously trying to put us all into confusion, but one thing I am sure of is that, some monsters are really in that roo…" The king was saying when a mug cup which he has earlier used to drink his morning coffee flew from his deck and before he could dodge, it slammed him really heard on his forehead. He held his forehead and he took some steps backwards whimpering in pain.

"Damn! That… hurts!" The king muttered to himself

"King, are you okay?" The people asked worriedly as the king nodded his head.

Hold on, but what the heck just happened now? Who the hell controlled the mug cup to his direction? Is Ravana and his people in his room but they made themselves invisible? Wait, are they suppose to fight with an invisible creature? How would they do that?

So many unsaid questions ran through their minds. They couldn't voice it out cause obviously, no one among them had an answer to their curious questions.

"An positive Ravana and his monsters are in my room." The king voiced out as he took a quick glance of his room. He got a glimpse of something, something bewildering. The chair at his deck was swinging. It was going up and down, just as if a child was playing on it.

"Come look at this." The king called for the attention of the soldiers at they moved forward and the swinging chair.

"Someone invisible is sitting on that chair." A man stated with his gaze not leaving the swinging chair.

All of a sudden, the chair stopped swinging as it began moving upwards until it settled mid air and it stopped. The people were still starting in awe when the chair suddenly started moving with force towards their direction. The King and the people were too fast to step out of the way as they chair slammed on the wall just a few meters away from them.

They breath out a sigh a sigh of relief. At the point, the king knew that his room was now an hunted room. But, why is Ravana doing all this without showing himself? Is he trying to killed them by been invisible? How on earth will they fight and invisible creature called monster.

"Ravana, show yourself!" The king voiced pit as his eyes scanned all over place. One, two, three to ten seconds has passed but, nothing else has happened nor did Ravana show his true self. The King ran his right hand through his hair. Where exactly is this heading to? Cause to him, everything that has has happened doesn't makes sense to him. Why don't he just show himself and then, they get down to business. Ravana was obviously, messing around with them.

A man walked up to him and stood beside him and asked, "what would you say about the whole situation."

"Ravana is obviously messing around us. His intention is to put us all into confusion. Be physically alert, he can do anything at any given time." The king said confidently with his gaze fixed in In his room.

"And do you think Ravana's intention is actually working on you all?" That same one questioned.

The King turned to look at him when he felt like his questions was beginning to sound bizarre. He was a very young and handsome boy which the king couldn't tell if he has ever met him before him. The boy in anyway doesn't seem familiar to him. Well, there is absolutely no way he would be familiar with all the people of Nazirites.

The King uses his eyes to scan him from head to toe before asking, "who are you?" The boy stepped back and made a small bow, "I am one of soldiers of Nazirites, King." The young boy replied still with his face down.

The King diverted his gaze from him back to space as he inquired, "why do you ask?"

"Nothing, just wanted to know." The young man responded.

To the king, he was beginning to sense it that something is weird about this guy. His questions were so unnecessary to the king at the moment. His questions wasn't what he should be asking at the moment. He should be asking for solutions on how to solve the complicated problem.

"I don't think such questions is necessary at the moment. We should be thinking of solution and nothing else. If you don't have any other thing to say, please go back to your place." The king said not even taking a quick glance at him.

"My place? You mean, hell? Am sorry but I can't until I am completely done with you all." The king quickly turned to look at him and the guy now had a smirk on his face.

He knew it! This guy is entirely weird. He has been saying weird things ever since he stood beside him. But, what's up with the questions? Ravana wanted to know if what he is doing to them is getting to their skin or what?

The King took some steps backward and pointed his swords at him, "don't you dare move an inch for…" The young boy's next action has interrupted the king, not only does he interrupt the king, he became wordless at the same time.

The young boy closes his eyes and he held unto his head moaning in pain. He manages to say, his sentences punctuated by moans, "something is going on inside of me. My head hurts! Someone is trying to dominate my body."

The King stared at him in astonishment, same implies to the people.

Wh… what the heck is going on? Is Ravana trying to dominate his body but, he is trying to fight back or this is all an act. No one is to be trusted, but the young man seems like he was dying in pain. He doesn't want to be possessed but then, Ravana is only forcing himself into the young man's soul.

The young man fell on his knees still holding on to his head. The King could see it, this young man was in pain and he was fighting hard within him.

But, on a close look, this doesn't seem like Ravana wanted to possess his body, but it seems like he was fighting the urge to transform into something; something different from his usual self, probably a wild animal or a… vampire.

"Help… me!" The young boy cried out. When he opened his mouth to say those words, the king realized that his suspicion has been right along.

His incisor has stretched out and now, he has fangs.
