Unknown woke up and held her neck as the small sting of the dart hit her again. She attempted to stand only to realise she was chained down by her tail, legs, and wrists. Her eyes turned pitch black as she tried to get out of the chains to no avail. Then she attempted to use her magic, but something stopped her—not physically but rather forcefully. She looked around and saw she'd been placed on a podium inside a large temple.
The temple was dimly lit with torches, the temple drawings and statues were all in the form of Celestials or constellations. Each 'star' is a Luminorite, a gem commonly used in nightlights for children as it emits a faint glow, which made the temple look as if it were the night sky, each Luminorite had been carefully placed to mimic the night sky.
Unknown then looks above her to see a Virelock hanging above her. A Virelock was a plant used by humans back in the times of war, since this plant has dark green, vine-like tendrils that bloom into delicate, black flowers, these flowers release crimson-like spores in the air, causing whoever comes in contact with them to temporarily lock away their powers
Her eyes turn red in frustration "Of course they have Virelock..." She looked around for the group she was travelling with...until hearing a pained wolf scream-
"OOOOOOW! Ugh...why is it always the darts?-" Woof exclaimed "Huh..oh hell no I'm muzzled! And chained? ugh, what is this? WHERE ARE WE!" She growls as she looks around. "Fish face? You too?"
Fin struggled to take his muzzle off "Ugh...This is humiliating"
Slimey was trapped in a Gellarium container "Ugh..hello? Uh...I feel woozy..." She slowly comes out of her puddle only to bump her head against the lid of the container "Ow!-" She held her head
"Slimey, get us out of here, you're our only hope!" Woof went as far as her chains let her.
She shakes her head "Yeah..yeah I can do that" She tried to seep through the lid.
"What's the hold-up?" Fin asks, looking over at her.
"I...I can't seep through...I...I think they trapped me in a Gellarium container! Ugh..." She looks around "Huh.. Guy's where's Fang..." The two creatures look around "Oh Celestials..."
Fang was on the other side of the temple..getting ready to be sacrificed first. He was in his dragon form, muzzled and chained to make sure he didn't run or away.
The cultists entered the temple and gathered around the platforms.
Unknown felt her powers slowly return, only for the Virelock plant to release its sports again, blocking her magic again. "Ugh.."
The head Cultist uses his magic to lift Fang up to the sacrificial bed, then he held his hands up "Brothers! Sisters! Today...we have found a group of savages in our mists! And the enemy...A DRAGON!"
The other cultists boo and shout out slurs. The head cultist raised his hands again causing the commotion to silence "But today...we have the upper hand...May the blood of these creatures be spilt in the name of the Celestials!"
The crowd cheered as one of the cultists went up, holding a knife in a pillow.
Woof looks up "Guys! Look! It's Fang!"
The other two creatures look up and go wide-eyed at the sight of a chained-up Fang. Unknown from her pillar watched and tried to get out
"With this...we also pray that our corrupted sister may be purified once again.. Coelestibus exaudi orationem nostram!" (Translation: Celestials hear our prayer)
The cultists chant those words as the head Cultist holds the knife, holding it up in the air...
"NO!" The creatures yell trying to escape their binds to stop this...
As the head cultist was about to stab Fang in the head...
A heavenly light shone down as a commanding voice spoke.. "Halt this sacrifice!"
Everyone froze as they looked over at the light...
As the figure, with her striking purple and black hair, floats gracefully down inside the temple, a heavenly light envelops her. The soft, golden beams cascade from above, illuminating her features and accentuating the shimmering sparkles on her skin. Her deep, starry eyes glisten with a sense of authority, reflecting the ethereal glow around her.
"You are hereby instructed to release these creatures and allow them to proceed on their journey. I will personally oversee their departure to ensure their safe passage."
The head Cultist dropped his knife and grovels as the figure carefully set foot on Fang's side. "O-Of course...my Celestial...whatever you say! Release them all!"
The cultists release the creatures and Unknown from their binds. "Follow me.." The Celestial guided Unknown and the others outside the temple and back to safe grounds...
"Thank you...so much my Celestial.." Unknown and the others bow
"It is of no concern whatsoever. I could not simply stand idly by while innocent creatures were at risk of harm." She held her purple fading into gold hand and smiled.
"Still...we are in your debt..." Fang looks up at the Celestial.
"May I ask...which Celestial are you..." Woof looks up at the Celestial as well
The Celestial smiles
"I am Ursa Major..."
