The Forbidden Forest

The Trouble

The moon sudden appeared and shone, however, the misty sorrounding turned the bright rays of the moon into murky. He turned his head at every direction that his eyes could see. His snaked eyes become alerted as he looked around. The dim light that the moon give on him was enough to see something that hid at the dark.

A moment later and there were a unknown image of human that appeared behind the towerring trees. Venom made a

couple of steps and felt the danger that about to happen. He clenched the arrow on his fist that he alread had while looking around.

One by one and there were a shadows that appeared. They were not clear enough to know who they were. That shadow seemed like sorrounded him and ready to attack him. However, Venom did not shown any sign of frightening on his perfectly made face.

A few moments had passed and three unknown shadows flew towards him. He closed his eyes and opened his fist widely as he began to release the dark shadow of Venomial power flowing on his veins. The calmness of the wind roared. He held the arrow tighly.

The shadows of the three unknown element begun to emerge clearly. Venom saw the black hallow eyes and sharped nails of his enemy while holding the arrow that point toward him. And he was not wrong to his suspicion about those elemental because of the marked that they have on their arm. They were the Halloxian army that guided the Fenrir forest; the boundaries between the kingdom of Monandria and Desdemonian.

As he know that those elemental being was Halloxian, he gritted his teeth in anger. He sudden felt something strange on his body as the saw the mark that those elemental have.

His fist become more stronger and the shadow that covered him become darker. He stared at the three Halloxian fearless.

One Halloxian army attacked him. IThe arrow scaped from the hand of the Halloxian army and flew toward Venom's back. Venom stepped back and turned his body backward. He used the arrow that he holding moment ago and threw it toward the arrow of the Halloxian army.

The two arrow met at the humid air above. And it flew back toward the Halloxian army. Before the Hallox flew away from the flying arrow, it pinched on the body of the Hallox that caused him too much bleeding.

The body of the Hallox fell down on the ground. Its body turned into a ashes after it fell. The two Hallox witnessed how their disciple killed by their own weapon, they gritted their teeth in anger and ready to attack Venom.

They flew faster than the wind. Their nails become sharper while pointing it toward Venom. One Halloxian flew at his back while the other one flew toward his side. Venom took the arrow head that he kept before he go for the journey out of the Monandria. That arrow head was the reason why he need to explore outside world he had in Monandria to find out who were responsible for entering his kingdom without his consent.

He threw up the arrow head backward and it flew toward the Halloxian army behind him.

Blag!

The Hallox fell on the ground and sudden turned into ashes. The last Halloxian army stopped for a while and took his arrow on his back and used its bow to attack Venom.

The arrow scaped from the vow and flew up to the air toward the place where Venom standing.

However, Venom step back and he evade the arrow that might pierced him. He opened his hands and used his Venomial power to put the arrow that pricked on the ground.

He moved his finger circular motion and the arrow flew toward his hand. He looked back at his enemy who were standing behind him. He made a couple of steps toward his enemy. His decietful smile and the dark shadow that sorrounded him made Halloxian army shocked in fear. It used his magical power to scape out of the power of Venom.It flew up to the air by the used of flying broom and shutted in the humid air.

Venom followed the Halloxian army to the place that it would go. He flew while focused his eyes toward the Halloxian. The wizard flew up and passed through the shaggy bushes.

Thorny vines and deep ravine were the obstacle that Venom encountered for the desire to know where the Halloxian kingdom was.

Far away, and the Halloxian disappeared instantly and Venom could not see where the wizard goes. He stooped below and the thick mist sorrounded the entire forest. Moreover, his attention caught by the towerring rocky mountain below.

Venom flew down to know the hidden mystery of that place.He stepped on the dusty and stony ground and landed on the slope, he saw that the mountain that he know was not just a common mountain that he seen before but it was a cave.

He looked at it entirely and he found out that the front of the cave was look like a mouth of a monster. There was no glance of lights that appeared inside. The whole place was not meant to have any light... the darkness embracing everything inside.

He made a couple of steps toward the mouth of the cave. He stopped for a while and looked around to know if there was anybody who might followed him. As he looked, the sorrounding was so dim to see the image that might hid at the huge rocksFor a moment of pause, he continued his way to the cave. He could not felt any dangered.

More steps he made and he finally reached the front of the cave, his snake eyes get wide when he saw the cave entirely. It was not just a cave because as he saw it, the whole rocky mountain and the mouth of the cave seemed like connected to each other. And they were a part of a palace!

Not a cave? A-and...it was a palace...he uttered himself.

Every steps he made, the rocks rolled down to the ravine. He strikes of those falling rocks was the only sounds that he heard on that place.

There was no presence of the wind that may felt but the cold of the sorrounding embracing him. He took his hood at his back and put it into his head. He stopped for a while to release his power and to protect his fine skin against the cold.

Out of his body, his fine hair become black as night raven that that spread it's wings wide to fly.

He continued walking until he reached the mouth of the cave. There were stalagmites and stalactites that made a whole cave mysterious and wonderful to see. They looked like a He flew between those things to avade his skin to pierce by them.

He landed at the sandy ground and continue in walking. He was stooping at the ground as he walked. For a moment, he heard something creepy inside. He looked around but no nobody was there. He do not mind the creepy sound that he heard lately because he knew that he had a power to protect himself in dangered.

For a moment of pause, the sound was gone.The deafly silent was filled the whole place. He released his dark shadow to hid himself to the dark as he made another couple of steps to enter the mouth of the cave.

He slowly moved to ensure that he would not made any sounds out of his steps. The hole of the cave was so dark and it was getting tight. The coldness of the outside replaced by the humid air that trapped inside. He opened his palm to release light out of his hand.

As the lights enlighten the cave, bats were flew toward him. The gasped of their wings were a creepiest sound that he heard lately that echoed all over the cave. The groups of bats were flew outside and Venom couldn't see them where they were go.

He made a steps toward the place where the bats hid themselves. The way into the cave was getting wide. The quite steps that he made became louder because of the echoed that it produced. There were no passage way for air even for the light rays of the sun.

He sudden stopped and ...." Shhhhhhhhh' Venom grunted to himself. He made a deep breath before he continued his journey. He looked back for a moment and as he turned back, he was far away from the mouth of f ythe cave.

"Krrrrekkkkk..." The sound of the broken bone of a animal was made a sound that echoed to the entire passage of the cave as he stepped on it. He turned around and swayed his hands to know where that sound came from.He stooped and he began to amazed because the cave have mound of bones of an animals that scattered all over the cave.

The light on his hand give him a clear image of bones and skull and some vulture that eating the flesh of dead animals. He turned around and everything he saw was the endless passage for dead animals.

He avade to step the broken bones for the reason of not producing sound out of it. He flew toward the darkest passage to know the hidden mystery that lies behind that cave.

Closer and closer, he heard something strange out to the deepest part of the cave. He landed on the ground and kneeled on the ground.
