Valkyrie - The Vampire Princess

Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Vincent requested my presence in the main room of his castle. When I arrived, my eyes widened in surprise in the direction of the wild animals that were in his company.

My father was sitting on his armchair and on his lap was a white tiger. Between his feet was a huge snake wrapped around them and on his right shoulder was an owl.

Well, the snake I knew it was Bizak. The owl also, it was the unmistakable Eros. But the white tiger, which was white in name only, because all the wild animals in the castle were as dark as night, who was it?

They took a human form, so I approached my father little by little.

Valeska was the white tiger.

It was as I had imagined.

The three servants of my father remained standing at his side, looking like stone soldiers that couldn't step out of their places.

"You have called for me?" I asked.

"Yes!" my father said with a tranquil voice. "Do you like my collection of wild animals?" his arms moved together with his question in the direction of me.

"That's why you called for me?"

"Don't you like what you see?" He shook his hand and lowered his hands.

Gravely I asked. "Can you get straight to the point?"

My father's face became crucial. "I want to see what you can become."

So I looked to him and asked. "How can I do this?"

His shoulders trembled. I should discover it by myself. "Think of an animal that you wish to be."

"Uh ... what should I do now?" I asked, thinking quickly.

"Did you think of one?" he asked.

"Yes!" I responded rapidly.

Vincent got up and stood in front of me.

He held my arms gently.

"Close your eyes and control the strength of your mind, with the purpose of your desire to be accomplished."

I did everything my master - father ordered me.

Then I narrowed my eyes and focused on what I wished to be.

Seconds later, my body became a dark image, an animal with fur and yellow eyes.

I had turned into a black panther.

"Magnificent!"

My father and master exclaimed, pleased with my choice. I was an extraordinary animal.

Everybody in there was watching my performance.

I walked from one side to other, rapidly, my claws held firmly onto the ceiling wall. I only stopped making my acrobatics when I felt tired.

Then I stopped walking in the middle of the great room and came back into my human form.

It required an extraordinary amount of energy and I had little left.
