more help from the gods, change your ways and only then, you shall receive the things you want.”
Leosher quickly opened his eyes and saw that his brother had jumped into the water to pull him out. He grabbed Leosher’s hand and swam up to the ship where they all regrouped again, with the original warriors, Usere, Urey, Neiham and Azar.
“This is hard and beyond our power” said Urey “We cannot defeat it. We have not even seen it; all we have been doing is battle its tentacles.”
“Trust me,” said Leosher “We can defeat it, for you all have me on your side and nothing can defeat a god that was created to be stronger than all.”
J ust as he said that, a huge wave rose up and knocked all of them off of the ship and then the beast rose out of the waters.
It was gigantic, bigger than the entire village that Leosher was from. Its scales were shut tight, and did not let any air or metal pass through. His eyes were numerous, like those of a spider. His face was like a turtle, long and sharp. His tentacles were like those of an octopus’s, big and thick. Its arms were long and strong like a bear’s. Its claws were like a lions, long and strong and his legs were scaly and short but he was big enough to stand in the deep sea without having to float. His stomach was not pierceable and it was buried under a thick layer of rock like scales. Its teeth were sharp and countless. If one broke, another grew in its place; its mouth was a void, whatever went inside, never came out; its tail was like long trees, tied together. It swept oceans clean of its creature. Its roar was jaw dropping and heart stopping; even the mightiest ran from its roar. It was black in color and its numerous eyes were yellow with red pupils. Its teeth were yellow and its claws were yellow as well. Its tail had a claw-like end to it, which was capable enough to sweep the entire Empirion army out of the sea without any effort.
Even Leosher was intimidated by the size of this creature but then he calmed his nerves. He got back on the debris of the broken ships and gained his balance but the Leviathan grabbed him with one of its tentacles. Each of the tentacles had millions of sharp, small claws at the end which made them even more deadly. The tentacles were attached to the ribcage of the beast and some of them also hung down from the beast’s chin.
Leosher went unconscious again but this time in the grasp of the Leviathan, and again, it was Asurot, talking to him.
“Son, do not be intimidated by the beast, for help is on the way. Just remember, this is the last time you will receive help.”
Leosher finally responded “Mother, neither did I ask for your help, nor do I need your help. I will conquer this beast with my own might and I do not care what the gods think. I will take over Thraenus and soon, Aseroth, the heavens and even the underworld will be mine.”
Asurot, who was worried about her child, replied “My son, you are dear to my heart and you do not know what you say. You still have time, walk away from your evil desires, for if you do not stop, the guardians will find you and they will imprison you. Do not wage war on Aseroth, the heavens and the underworld, for you will turn the gods against you. Aseroth is yours to rule, for you are the prince of the gods but you have to be pure at heart and if you are not, I am afraid we will have to find someone who is worthy enough to rule but for now, concentrate on the beast.”
Just as the conversation between the prince and the queen ended, Leosher got back to his senses and became conscious again. He opened his eyes and found himself high up in the air, because the beast, the Leviathan, had thrown him up and was now standing with its pit-like mouth open, ready to engulf him. Just as Leosher reached the tip of the mouth of the beast, the beast was thrown out of balance with a strong blow and
