Ch.2 Leopold

“Great. Just freaking great. Where is Garm when you really need him? Lazy mut…” I muttered with frustration as I was wondering the castle keep looking for Garm,the royal necromancer of Gallia. Then, with a puff of ebon smoke, Garm had appeared behind me.
“So, Leopold. What do you want this time?” Garm hissed in his usual gloomy tone. He startled me so bad that my fur stood on end just from hearing his voice. “ What I want is to spar with you. My father is growing weaker from the so called peace offering from the Blackblood wolves and I don’t want any resistance if I am to overthrow him. Do you understand?” I replied in an equally dark tone of voice. “So. If you want to spar with me, Leopold,” Garm hissed in his demonic voice “ Then it is a spar of you life. If you should die here, my master will be very displeased.” He shifted backwards and his robes changed into a cloak that seemed to be made of pure darkness, as even the moons light has no gleam on it or shine of any shade. I drew my sword, which was much lager than me, and placed it at my side.
“AHHH!” I yelled as Garm shot me backwards with a energy blast of pure dark energy. “ That’s an unfair advantage towards me, Garm! You can summon the undead while I have to cut through them all. I…” was all I could say as Serpentina , The goddess of Temptation and all Serpents, appeared out of a huge serpent.”Garm. Lord Thalnosss requires your presence. We need to be there immediately. You understand that Thalnosss has an extremely short temper, yess?” Serpentina hissed in her evil snake like voice. “Garm. Get going. You know how vicious Lord Thalnos can be. Get a move on…NOW!!!” I yelled with a nervous tone of voice. Garm disappeared in a puff of black fog that lingered for a few seconds then dissolved into the night.
That morning, I was going to greet my father for the last time for the rest of my mortal life, as today I planned to overthrow my father and claim the kingdom as mine. “My lord,” a guard said to me with utmost respect and caution “Princess Diana Lionheart wants to see you at this moment. If it is convenient for you, of course.” “That’s fine, tell her I will see her momentarily. Now get out of my sight, or I’ll kill you where you stand, you cur.”
I snapped at the guard with such viciousness, the guard fell backwards, startled and ran off as if death itself was after him. I was informed by another guard that she was in the library. I came to the massive doors of the library, which are a golden color as bright as gold made from the sun, and gently pushed the old, ancient doors of the library. There, sitting in one of the armchairs was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. She was a snow leopard whose fur was a majestic blend of cream and chocolate. Her eyes were a deep sapphire blue, and the dress she was wearing was an angelic mix of gold and silver laced in a ruby red and ivory pearl color. Her voice was enough to soothe even a savage soul as it was the voice of a mother and a friend. “Well, so you’re the prince I’ve heard so much a bout you. I have heard that you are powerful military leader, you have never known defeat. But, you also very love to things you hold dear. Then… you have a dark side to every good cat. You are loyal to those you love, but you kill those who stand in you’re way of any goal you wish to accomplish. And… you’re the black sheep in you entire family. Oooh it gives me chills just thinking on how long I’ve been looking for a man of you’re reputation.” It was then that I wanted her to be mine forever. But, I would need to be careful. For I could tell that she was very talented in the ways of magic and witchcraft and she could eradicate me if I make a wrong move. Even though I choose to marry her, for she may be very devious, but I can tell that she is very kind. I asked her in a shaky tone in my voice “ Diana Lionheart…will you marry me?” She smiled and replied “Of course I will.” We married and a few years later, we had two children, Marino, wild cat of the north and , the tiger of the south wind.
