Night begins to fall and Taker eats the banquet with everyone, his men, Pat's men and the humans who want to dine with Taker. Diana, Kinsey and Pat eat together, laugh together, the soldiers have a push-up contest, Taker sits on his throne, a drink in his hand, watching his people having fun, very happy that nothing has changed during his recovery . But he can't help but think of Pat and his family, certainly his family and his have had a great friendship for generations but his grandfather was killed by Pat's grandfather for a piece of land. What if Pat wants land that I own? what if he kills me? He doesn't know who the traitor is, whether his ancestors spoke of Cassiopeia or his father.
"AHHH!!" Cried Taker holding his head grimacing, he suddenly had a bad headache that made him double over. His mind begins to darken and he can see his dead creature... In his burrow. "Taker? Are you okay?" Pat asked worriedly putting his hand on Taker's shoulder, everyone fell silent when the Majesty screamed in pain. Footage of Markus dead, his creature's blood dripping from his back before the flames appeared to burn Markus' body. I have to save him. thought Taker.
Suddenly, Pat is pushed by Taker who runs outside the castle, not having too much strength to teleport. He quickly runs to Markus' burrow, he realizes there is no fire, not all the creatures are on alert, he walks to the back burrow and sees Markus sleeping. Why did he have these visions if all is well? Is he going crazy? Taker returns to the fortress and then feels a severe pain in his head again, clutching his head. He looks up at the sky and sees the moon begin to be full. "Not here!" He said wincing in pain trying to get away from his fortress.
~!~
Pat is still in the Great Hall with the others, hoping Taker is okay. Since this morning he woke up, he became a bit weird, his behavior changed a bit. He quietly drinks his beer while listening to the girls. "So you're almost done with the weapons?" Diana asks Kinsey who is eating. "Yes..." Kinsey said before taking a piece of meat in his mouth before swallowing it. "Hopefully I'll be done tomorrow." She added before the children, panicked, entered the castle. "Help!!! Majesty has lost his mind!!" cried a crying child, Pat suddenly stood up and looked outside, hoping there is not a full moon. He turns to all the humans in the castle. "Humans stay in castle!!" Ordered by Pat to find out what is going on, Taker and Pat's men follow Pat who is running outside. Diana and Kinsey also follow Pat who gives orders to the soldiers. "Don't die foolishly guys!" he ordered, dividing into a few groups.
Diana, Tigress and some soldiers look east from the castle, Diana rubs her arms anxiously asking what is happening to the Majesty. There is no full moon tonight, She had already heard what it was like when there was a full moon. He was hideous, with eight legs protruding from his back, black eyes, and sharp teeth. Maybe he needs help? Diana tries to reassure herself. "Maj.." A soldier screams in terror, blood splatters the walls of the castle. Diana can't move, he's in front of her. Eating one of his soldiers. "God..." she whispered as she dropped her sword, Taker threw his head back moaning as he watched her, drooling and blood pouring from his mouth.
He's more terrifying than she had imagined, the spider legs that are on his back, his black eyes, his teeth, he looks bigger than usual. But why is his curse activated? there is no moon! He turns to her and starts chasing her, she runs as fast as she can then Taker manages to catch up to her after kicking Tigress who tried to defend Diana. "Taker...please..." she begged, hoping that deep down he would return to normal. Taker was about to kill her, he hears a noise coming very fast behind him, he turns around and is violently hit by Markus, Markus stands in front of Diana to protect her, he gets up, smiles and attacks Markus, Markus defends himself like the best he can with his broken legs, it's not easy but he pulls through. Diana takes advantage of this moment to take refuge by hiding in one of the houses.
Taker kicks Markus as hard as he can while Markus tries to defend himself, Pat coming from behind jumps on Taker's back trying to subdue him. Taker grabs Pat and throws him through a window, Markus kicks Taker who lands at the entrance to the fortress and Asgoth kicks him, pinning him against a tree for Markus to tie him up. Taker tries to walk away but nothing helps, he growls looking at Asgoth and Markus as Pat, in pain but he is okay, arrives with the others. Diana came out of the house, seeing her creature against the wall, wounded, Tigress was brought by the soldiers to have her treated. She walks outside joining the others, she could see Taker, tied up, in his dark form, growling. Pat approaches his friend, cursed, knowing he can't hear what he's going to say. "You will go back to where you were soon!" Said Pat before dodging Taker's bite that was going to bite him. Everyone except Markus leaves, Markus looks at his master trying to free himself, the creature is sad that he didn't arrive in time before nightfall to prevent this. Because of him, men were killed by Taker and he almost killed Diana.
~!~
Mendal has his eyes closed, smiles devilishly seeing in his mind that his magic is working on him. He can control his emotions and his curse from a distance, he wants to drive him crazy.
