Chapter Nine: The Seed of the Dead

The Wild Dragon beneath Leonetta sped forward away from the Solstice celebrations and the clanging ceremonious music just as the Kings were set to light the floating platform afire. She could feel the cold fall air creeping in as the wind blew over her. To her left, far in the distance, she could see the churning anger of the dead King. To her right, the seas began to pick up strength, and a strange feeling floated through her chest. As the wild swooped past the docks and out over open seas, an explosion rocked Leonetta’s senses and she looked back in shock as the dead King emerged from the fiery blaze. She grabbed onto the Wild’s scales as her sight began to waver and a vision flooded her mind.

Through her mind’s eye, Leonetta sat, helpless to control her visions and watched as the dead King snatched the mer-Prince’s bride, transporting her to his mountain lair. As Leonetta’s mind jumped from scene to scene of this terrifying premonition, Shayla was kept as a prisoner in the lonely caves beneath the mountain. Each day, she is released from the cold, damp surroundings of her cell and is forced into servitude to the King and his mate, Malaya. Though Leonetta could feel the fear surging through Shayla, the young human developed strength over time, understanding the inner workings of the dead army, and learning how to survive from day to day. As the vision progressed, Leonetta’s attention was drawn to a man searching the mountain caves, looking for Shayla. It was Pike.

As Leonetta’s strength began to wane from the ever-encompassing magnitude of such a vision, she watched as Pike began to fight the dead King. Blow by blow, the young prince held his own until his attention was drawn to Shayla, hanging over the bubbling red sea of lava beneath the mountain. A flash of fire blinded Leonetta’s view of the events to follow, and as she came back to the present, the sounds of Shayla’s screams echoed through her head. She collapsed forward onto the scaly back of the beast as her eyes changed back from white to green. Her breath slowed, and she laid there, attempting to regain her sight. The Wild below her talked to her telepathically, attempting to gauge whether to turn back or keep going.

Princess, are you okay? Shall I land?

No. Keep going. We must reach Osiris.

The dragon picked his speed back up as Leonetta pulled herself upright and whispered an enchantment of healing. Her strength began to build as they shifted course back over land, growing closer to Osiris’ camp. Below them, all along the shore were small renditions of the Autumn Solstice celebration. The ocean was peppered with burning pallets, and music could be heard even as high as Leonetta flew. The smell of smoke burned at her nostrils, bringing visions of her burnt and tattered realm of Avalon. The Wild began to slow as the flags of Osiris’ Kingdom began to appear on the horizon.
