Legend Of Pandora

Chapter XI: Legends

Python arrived at the Bloodmixian village. There was no one there, and every building was destroyed and had blood marks on it.

The last time Pandora was opened, it was before Python was born. His entire life he heard the stories about the horrible things that are inside of it, and he is this really is a Pandora incident, it was rather scaring to him.

He heard a groan behind him. A terrifying creature made out of flesh and bones, started walking towards him. It had no facial features besides a wide, teeth-full mouth.

It shrieked, and an army of creatures like it circled Python. He ran towards one creature and sliced it with his sword. Blood sprayed everywhere, and the other creatures seemed even more angry. The circle slowly got smaller and more tight around python, And one of the creatures jumped at him, but before it landed, Python penetrated through it with his sword. The rest of them jumped at him, too, but his sword was still stuck in the other creature's body.

They climbed up him. There was around 30 of them, and he could see more in the horizon. Soon enough, he had been buried underneath those horrifying things, struggling to breath. One of the creatures bit him in the neck, and he started feeling dizzy.

A few seconds later, he passed out.

Shae stepped out of the emergency room.

"Are you alright?" Heeshe asked her.

She sighed. "I had a dream. Or a vision. I'm not sure what to call it, but the poison caused it."

Heeshe seemed confused.

"One of those creatures talked to me." She said. "It wanted me to join his army."

"What did you answer?" He asked.

"You woke me up before I replied." She lied. She feared they would see her willingness to join it as a betrayal.

Shae exited the hospital building. She looked around. "Where are we?" She questioned.

"In another Bloodmixian village. We brought you here for treatment." He said.

"Who else is here?" She looked around the village for familiar faces.

"Just you, me, Wolfe and Phoenix." Heeshe answered.

Shae noticed Phoenix going towards the village gates.

"Why is she leaving, then?" Shae replied.

Heeshe looked surprised. He ran to Phoenix, with Shae behind him.

"Where are you going?" He shouted. Phoenix stopped and looked at him.

"Horace and Wolfe don't want to help me, so I'll make peace myself. " She answered.

"How?" He asked.

"Now that Pandora's open, we have a common enemy with the Serpents." She replied. "We'll bait an army of those Pandora monsters to their stronghold, to install fear of those creatures."

"Then what?" Shae questioned.

"We'll form an alliance." Phoenix replied.

"That is a terrible idea, Phoenix. The reason Serpents exist is the hatred of us Bloodmixians, and those creatures can't change that." Heeshe said.

"We'll see about that." Phoenix muttered. "So you two are coming?"

"We are." Shae replied quickly. Heeshe looked at her, and she looked at him like she knows what she's doing.

"Fine." Heeshe whispered.

The three Bloodmixians walked back to their ruined village, in order to bait the Pandora Army after them.

As Belle, Cloak and the Protectors Of Pandora arrived near the village, they've noticed the sky was slightly reddish, and a huge cloud of smoke rose above where the Village was.

Belle and the rest stopped and stared at the smoke. Her expression went from surprised, to worried in the matter of seconds.

"They activated it. I can smell the horrors from here." Belle said, without moving her eyes from the smoke for a mere second.

Cloak looked at it himself. It was huge considering the village was still a few kilometers away from them.

"How bad is it?" He asked Belle.

"Bad enough to destroy the entire planet, if we don't do anything about it."

"How would you know? It's never been open before." Cloak told her.

Belle stared at him for a while. He felt like he just had said something foolish.

And he likely did, as Belle began laughing her creepy laugh yet again.

"The Anaconda hasn't told you, has she?" Belle asked. The men behind her were still giggling about what he said.

"Told me what?" Cloak replied, confused.

"The Serpents used Pandora years ago, to demolish Algoria." She said. "It got out of hand, and made the very wasteland we are walking in right now. We, the keepers, stopped it and saved this very planet."

Cloak looked at Belle again. It was weird to think of her as the one who saved the world years ago.

"I was young back then." She continued. "Very young. About fifteen if am not mistaken."

She sighed.

"I must confess, I'm not quite sure I can stop it again. Not at this age." She said and looked down at her body.

"Oh well. Guess we all die now, do we." She laughed again.

"No, we don't." Cloak replied and started walking to the village. "How do we stop it?" He shouted from afar.

"We have to get to the box itself and close it." She replied. "Sounds simple, but it's guarded heavily."

"By what?" He asked.

She pointed at a spot behind him. He took a look, and saw hundreds of strange, fleshy creatures. Cloak gasped.

"They are called Invaders." She said. "It's quite literal. Only two of them spawn when the box is opened, but they mate quickly and the children adult in a few hours, than make children of their own as soon as they can. That's how they slowly invade and destroy our planet.

They can also poison humans, and try to convince them to become one of them in their dreams."

"Then the longer we wait, the bigger their army." Cloak shouted and continued walking towards the village.
