An Ancient Prophecy? (Creature Feature)

Chapter 8: the Meeting

---------the next day-------

Stella and Enzi picked us up and took us to a special meeting place. There was a lake with an island in the middle of it. Stella flew us to that island. She landed in the middle of a big clearing and let us off. She went into her human form and I got a look at all those attending this meeting.

There were creatures of all kinds there. Otters the size of grown humans, a wolves taller than Curtis on its four paws, giant snakes, dwarves, a creature that had feathers made of rock and even a dragon. I noticed a Mishipeshu there also.

"Hey Stella, is that your dad?" I asked her, pointing at the aforementioned water creature.

"Yes." She answered.

"I'm glad you could make it, Steltella." A woman's voice said in a Mexican accent. We all looked in the direction the voice came from. There was a Hispanic looking woman with long black hair and hazel eyes walking towards us.

"Of course I could make it." Stella responded with a smile. "It's good to see you, Maria."

"Maria!" A man's voice exclaimed.

"I 'ave to go." Maria told Stella. "I'll talk to you later." She then walked away.

"Who was that?" Enzi asked Stella.

"That was Maria." Stella started. "She's what the humans would call 'Mexican vampires', to put it simply. Now, there's beings from all over the continent here today. I represent the Thunderbirds. My father's here for the Mishipeshu. And there's many others here as well. You both are here because you need to prove that you're the two in the prophecy. You all have to be on your best behavior, got it?"

"Got it." Curtis, Enzi and I said at the same time.

"Good. Now, the meeting should start soon. Follow me." Stella walked over to Wahmenitu and sat down next to him. Curtis, Enzi and I sat down next to them. The others there sat down in a circle and a familiar face walked into the middle of the circle. It was Achak.

"Alright, let's get this meeting started, shall we?" He started. "We have some very special guests, as I understand. Steltella? Would you like to take it from here?" Stella stood up.

"Hello, everyone." She started. "Many years ago, the Great Spirit sent down a prophecy foretelling of two men who shall help protect the human race. Today, I have brought these two here." Curtis stood up and so did I. "Curtis Rx, descendant of the Adlets, and Erik X, descendant of the Shark King."

"How do we know these two really are the Chosen Ones?!" One of the dwarves asked. They all started murmuring amongst each other. Curtis and I looked at Stella. She just nodded at the both of us, then looked towards the circle again.

"I knew some of you would be skeptical about them. So, they're going to prove that they are, in fact, who they say they are."

"Are you sure about this, Stella?" Curtis asked her.

"Yes. Now, show them what you can do." Curtis nodded at her, stepped forward and transformed into an Adlet. Stella then looked at me and darted her eyes at the lake. I started walking into the water.

"What's he doing?" A voice asked.

"Sharks needs to be in water." Stella's voice answered. I didn't look back, I just kept going until my head was underwater. I felt my inner-shark, let it out and transformed into a shark. I did one of those shark jumps so they could see I did it, then swam towards the shore. I went as far as I could towards them, then imagined my human self and transformed back.

"Alright, so they're the Chosen Ones." The dwarf conceded. "But who's she?" He pointed at Enzi.

"That's Enzi. She's staying with me for a while." Stella answered. "Enzi's a Nandi Bear."
