Chapter 3– The Beast of Old
Mar 19, 2025
Standing and looming before her with its stone head nearly reaching up towards the patchy rock ceiling, lies the legendary beast of old; the former man turned manticore. She’s both shocked and fascinated, and feels the strange draw to touch it to see if it was truly real or not. However, the royal guards have just arrived into the same cavern and were close to capturing her. Despite her attempts at pleading for her life and clearing her name of the apparent allegation that she was a dangerous spell-caster, things take a turn for the worst when tensions climb higher and higher among the uneasy guards, and everything finally comes to a head when she wishes for someone to save her from her inevitable death. And the answer to her call comes from an unlikely source…

Young Mariana finds herself on the run from persecution by the King Magician. She herself is not a practicing witch- nor has she cast a single magical spell in her life- until she realizes her life is on the line. In wake of all the strangeness, she makes the mistake of awakening a dangerous centuries old deity from his stone slumber and releasing him upon the new world just as angry as when he was banished. The world has become a bit darker and more complicated for Mariana to navigate with her ignorant attitude, and the same for the beast, Ciro, who hungers for vengeance on the King and others who wronged him all those years ago. History lies, and the great kingdom Mariana knew is not all it was cracked up to be. But time is of the essence for them both, as it was foretold the time of magic in their land is sooner coming to an end and all magical creatures are to be extinct by the Fourth Super Moon. But the King Magician has to be defeated by then, and their blinded world freed. Will Mariana harness her newfound magical powers until then? And will Ciro transcend from his own overwhelming blood thirst for the sake of saving a world he believes betrayed him? Please read to find out more! ^w^9
