The Return of the Beast Princess

Chapter 145 - Head witch doctor Solon *

"This is your last chance to explain yourself Onslo, or should I say, head witch doctor Solon."

"Sister...," Solon doesn't know what to do. He wants to explain himself but he doesn't know where to start.

"If you did consider me as your sister, you wouldn't hide things from me. I have given you a lot of chances to open up and explain what you are trying to hide from me but you stayed firm and didn't utter a single word. I am not your sister, head witch doctor. If you ever treat me as one, you could have just been honest. The reason why I'm giving you this last chance to explain yourself is because you have saved me by telling my husbands what to do to remove the black crystal's energy inside my body. If not for that, I'm sure you'll know that I won't even allow you to set foot on this island. Last chance head witch doctor, don't waste it."

Solon can't stop his trembling hands while hearing Asha's words. He fucked up, bigtime.

"Will you allow me to tell you my whole story Your Highness? Will you hear me?"

Asha raised an eyebrow but Dumu is the one who spoke.

"Your Highness? Are you referring to my wife?"

Solon nods. His eyes not leaving Asha's as the two remained looking at each other.

"It started when the angry mountain exploded. I... I was there."

Dumu stares at Solon questioningly with his scrunched up face, "you were? I did not see you...."

"I was there for seclusion. I was hiding in one of the caves in the Forsaken Mountain when it all happened. I felt the breath of the Old Earth and that's how I know that the old proverb has come to be true. That the descendant has arrived at long last.

I followed and watched. I wanted to check for myself if it is really you, the goddess incarnate, the daughter of the beast god Nabu and mother of all Gaia.

I have waited for the right moment to be able to get close to you so I can protect you. But to do that, I have to disguise myself as well. You see, me and my fellow witch doctors are not in good terms with the royalties of Byakko. Even if we live in the same kingdom, our priorities and principles do not align.

All the witch doctors are following the will of the Chelonian. That is to be able to serve, help and protect the princess when she returns. We have waited for thousands of cycles and I was lucky to be the one serving you Your Highness."

"So, the time I have saved you is not just a coincidence?" Tarik asked.

"It was a great opportunity to join your group. I took the chance where I cannot be suspected."

"Are you really blind?" Theo asked.

"No. I can see clearly well. I thought that if I play the role of a parentless young beast man with disability, the princess will pity me and let me join you."

"You stalked me. Tested me. Lied to me. So you can serve, help and protect me? That's bullshit! Is this how you serve someone who you want to protect? Isn't being honest the first thing you should have done? The way you want to protect someone is so very wrong."

"But would you have believed me if I said that you are the incarnate of the goddess Insha? Would you believe me that the reason why you are here is to prevent Davorin from getting his powers back and kill him? The god of war is here and trapped in the beast world. He was imprisoned here by the beast god and the mother of all took his powers so he would not be able to get out from this place. The god and goddess used all their life force to trap him here."

"So I've heard many times already that I am the reincarnation of that goddess."

Solon's eyes were excited. A sigh of relief made him relax for a bit before walking on his knees towards Asha and kisses both her feet.
