Samson: The Undead

Chapter 16: Chapter 4 Episode 13



"Your majesty." 

"Hm Heed" Twitching foot long antennas the Queen wriggled her giant ant body. "What is it that you want?" she asked through telepathy.

 "We have a guest." 

"Guest?" Halfway lifting her gargantuan body the Queen flopped back on the hard smooth stone. "Who is this guest?" Linking minds with her soldier toop, toop, toop, toop, she began to click her mandibles with excitement.

 "Master Heed."said a door guard, bowing down to the Queen's right hand. "I understand you coming to the Queen Chambers but." slipping a gaze over to Abbott he asked. "Who is he?" 

 "This is Abbott The Omega and he is an honored brother."

"Abbott…The…Omega?" clicked the ant soldier before practically jumping out of his exoskeleton. Converting to his human form the insectoid, tapped his polearm on the ground then bowed. "Abbott the Omega it is an honor to be in your grace. I Meelom give thanks for your role in the Ornithion War." 

 Throwing his hands out Abbott replied, "That was over a century ago gratitude is no longer necessary. 

 Standing up the guard pat his fist over his heart. "In that case, Welcome to the KIngdom of Myrm." 

Transforming back into his insectoid form the guard called the Queen through telepathy. "Your majesty, you have guests."

 "They may enter." responded the Queen with a rock onto her ant legs. Transforming into her human the Queen glided across her chambers in long strides leaping into the Omega arms at the opening of her wall. 

 "Queen Cidae" the words flowed delicately out of his mouth. "My Earth Breaker. How is your being?" Abbott asked with a squeeze of her thick soft body.

 "I am at Peace. And I should be calling you the Earth Breaker after denying my Kingship."

"I stand by my actions, running a kingdom isn't for me. Even if I do possess the qualities."

 "That you do." Dropping to her knees the Queen gave both Samson and Sarai a big smile. "And who are these little ones?"

 "I'm Sarai The Warrior Princess."

"I'm Samson."

"Warrior Princess? I have a couple myself. You should meet..." Cocking her head back in revelation The Queen turned to her royal guard. "Heed take these two to the nursery. The Omega and I have catching up to do."

 Kneeling, Heed placed his fist over his heart. "As you command your majesty. Sarai, Samson follow me. "

Beep, beep, eint, eint, bloop, flickering to life a small circular mechanical device emitted a white and blue light. "Lord Adam." spoke Oneef to the machine. Staticking beep beep Demius popped up on the screen.

 "Oneef" looking from left to right Adams eyes narrowed in on the Djinn. "Tell me the whereabouts of the Princess and tell me what happened to the automatons."

 "My Liege we were captured by the Kingdom of Myrm and the automatons self-destructed. As of the Princess she is within the presence of Myrms and Abbott The Omega."

 "The Omega." Tugging at his beard Demius head bobbed in thought. "and those Myrms. They are both formidable foes." Drumming his fingers on the arms of his throne Adam roared with laughter. "This is a turn of events. Oneef of Shadow Throne tell me how did you escape Myrm army."

 "I transported as far as I could. I will not allow my life to be extinguished before completion of the mission."

 "Good…Good. Listen to me, Shadow Throne. I require a large sacrifice so I can open the gates to the tesseract. I will send you two of my best Beings. They will accompany you on your journey." Scrolling along the screen on the arm of his royal seat, Adam zoomed in on Oneef's coordinates. "I will contact you."

Yah, hah, ah, uf, hearing children's voices from the tunnels, Sarai began to skip. "What's that? Are you taking us somewhere to play?"

 "From the sound and vibrations coming from the nursery I will say they are in the midst of training." Bending a corner Heed took them down the left out of three pathways. "Welcome to the nursery."

 "That's a wall." Sarai exclaimed.

"A wall to others but a door for us." Placing his hand on the wall it opened up inside out.

 Toop, toop,toop, the echo of wooden spears hit their ears upon entrance. 'Woooah" remarked Samson, stepping into the room. "It's enormous."

 "It has to be in order to support hundreds of thousands of children. This is their housing till they learn to go through that door." 

 Turning around to look at the door, bow, a little girl hit her head on the wall trying to escape. "Ouch."

"Princess Ki, what do you think you're doing."

 "Leaving" said the Princess innocently. "You said that if we leave we are grown."

Swooping Ki into his arms, Heed tickled the Princess. "You are a wise one indeed but you have to see growth like all others." Placing her down in front of their guests the Myrm said. "Ki, meet our honored guests. This is Samson and Sarai."

 Running over to the little girl and grabbing her arms Sarai pointed at the sparring children. "Let's play." she said with a leap before dashing off. Running a couple feet the warrior Princess took two skips and burst off using flames from her feet. Landing in the middle of the battle royale Sarai shouted. "Let's play." 

 Stopping and staring in confusion, the older children turned to their instructor who stood on a stone pillar watching sensing, feeling the rhythm and movements of all the children, even Sarai. "Continue."

 "Yaaa!" Sarai hollered, with a leap of joy. Materializing two wooden swords from particles of light the Warrior Princess lowered her body into a squat. "Let's…" taking a deep breath Sarai exhaled flames from her mouth upon the unexpecting warriors. "...play." 

 Bolting through the flames catching her first opponent off guard Sarai smacked him on the inside of his right leg then spun past him delivering a second smack against the back of his left before ducking a spear and plunging her sword into the gut of a second assailant. Kicking her foe foot from underneath him the Warrior Princess yanked him up by his shirt then threw him in front of a fireball.

 "Yaa" stepping in for her family one of the Princesses "Princess Gene" unleashed several more fireballs at Sarai before zipping in and closing the distance.

 Leaping backwards while dodging the blasts Sarai fell into a backward roll weaving a slash. Pushing herself up with her arms once upside down the Warrior Princess tried to kick Princess Gene in her chin but the insectoid spun out the way.

 Staring one another down both combatants took out two other players for trying to interfere with their bout. Locking in on each other once again like two territorial beasts the two Princesses charged meeting midpoint with a clash of weapons.

 Sliding backwards from the blow Sarai bent her knees then swung her right arm up blocking her opponent's strike.Smiling at the sight of her attack being deflected Princess Gene stepped in with six more fierce thrusts. Weaving in and out avoiding the combinations the Warrior Princess pounced cutting her foe along the thigh while taking a cut to the cheek. 

Leaping backwards after the exchange, the two began to circle each other like wild animals until Sarai made the first move by unleashing her fire breath. Raising up an earth wall protecting herself Princess Gene then broke it down firing the fragments at the Warrior Princess who ran in an arc while unleashing balls of flames destroying any projectile that threatened her life.

 "Halt" spoke the instructor. "Princess Gene, you possess the ability to manipulate the earth yet you remain in the nursery." Projecting wings from her back the instructor flew over to the princess. "Tell me…why is it that you wish not to leave." 

 "I don't want to leave my comrades." replied Gene.

"Lose your comrades. Gene you gain them even faster by moving on. That gives them reason to push harder and become stronger. You must always remember that. When you give it your all, you are never left with regrets." Hugging Princess Gene, the instructor gave her a smile. "You are a Princess. One day you will have to rule over this kingdom, your own, or play some role as head in the Kingdom. You must always strive to be your best for not only your friends but your Kingdom in the whole."

 "I will give it my all for all is all i got." remarked Princess Gene.

"Now that's a Myrm mindstate." Turning to Sarai the instructor kneeled. "What is your name?"

 "I am Sarai The Warrior Princess."

"Sarai I give you thanks for bringing out this larvaes strengths."

 Giggling with shyness Sarai gazed up at the instructor with big brownish green eyes. "Did I win?"
