From the city wall, Emperor Lam and Empress Aucelen leaping from rooftop to rooftop. When they land on the roof of a temple"s high tower, they realized it is heading toward the city prison. Why is it heading there? Is Touton have something to do with? Somehow he can contact the monster from there and order it to rescue him? Finally, they caught up with the serpent, it already crashed through the prison wall, quickly slither inside, and bust open a few cell looking for something, making the wardens and prisoners alike running in panic. Amid the chaos in the prison yard, there is a man, a mad man, he walking casually toward the serpent, naked, he laughing hysterically as he walks, his gaze devoid of any sanity, any life, anything indicate that this man was one a loving father and a honourable man. Touton somehow had escape his cell and kill a warden or an inmate and use their blood to drawn those strange symbols on his chest and belly."ha ha ha! witness! Witness the power of holy beast of the old G.o.ds! Ha ha ha!" Touton laughing with a deranged expression on his face.
Noticed him, the serpent turns and stare at the crazy man.
"come, come my child, let show those infidels the glory of the old G.o.ds of yore." He laughing maniacally, yelling and put his hand on the air, spinning on where he standing. "let those foolish, ungraceful sheep, tremble in despair before the majestic of the old G.o.ds, make them cry out in remorse and begging for they forgivene…" Touton cannot finished his sentence, his crazy rambling had been abruptly disrupted. The so called "holy beast", just s.n.a.t.c.hed him between its jaw, and with just one gulp, swallows him whole. Then the serpent starting to turn to the other prisoners still lock in their cell.
"how ironic, let end this madness." Emperor Lam said.
From the nearby rooftop, he quickly leaps ahead, drawn his sword and aim at the serpent head from behind. Unfortunately, the serpent saw him coming and its light fast tail, whip him in midair knocked him to the ground. The serpent stares at the peculiar Downer man with horns on his head, half conscious lying on the ground for a brief second. Then open wide jaw full of fangs arrange in circular pattern, and prepare to strike.
Blood pouring out from where the serpent"s teeth sunk in the flesh, however the blood is not belonging to Emperor Lam but his wife. Seeing her husband is in danger, Empress Aucelen had leap in and push her husband away. And have her left forearm firmly lock between the serpent"s jaw, its fangs pierced her flesh and crush her bone, her blood streaming from her wound, the upper part of her robe turn red by her own blood, the pain was agonizing. Even worse the serpent lifted her off the ground and flair her around, like a ragdoll.
"Aucelen, NOOOO!!!" Emperor Lam face turned pale likes every drop of blood had been drained from his face.
"Lam, stay away!" Empress Aucelen yelling, telling her husband to stay away from the beast, and instead of trying to escape the serpent jaw she turn to it and yell
"ezekpitav rekzaqi!" she yelled, her right hand fingers starting to give off static flash and soon a lightning bolt shoot out from her hand to the serpent snout. The beast convulsed violently from her lightning spell, the electric shock makes the beast bite down more and snap her hand clean off. Empress Aucelen land painfully from a several lias drop, her half bite off left arm slam to the ground first. But yet, she swallows the excruciating pain and quickly get back to her trembling feet, raised her right arm up right at the second the serpent had recover and lunging at her for another bite. Another lightning bolt launch from her hand after she chant the spell again. The serpent jolt backward at the lightning bolt strike, convulsing in agonize. Despite her wound is spraying rays of blood, she kept the spell going until the beast turn into a half burn, smoking corpse on the ground.
Emperor Lam catch his wife as she collapses due to b.l.o.o.d.y lost, and quickly perform healing magic to seal her wound and top the bleeding.
"Aucelen? Aucelen? Speak to me my love." Emperor Lam calling his wife
Empress Aucelen open her eyes and gently spoke "I am fine, Lam worry not, I just need a little rest…"
"thanks the G.o.ds, don"t you scare me like that ever again." Emperor Lam smile in relief.
Empress Aucelen gently smile, then turns her head look at her, now only half of a left arm, mumbling in depress "oh…no, my…. Bracelet."
"wha… by the G.o.ds, Aucelen. You just had your forearm bite off and you worry about some bracelet?" Emperor Lam spoke, haft unbelieving about what he just heard
"oh…. I can grow it back in about a month. Besides, it is the bracelet you gave me, after we marry." Empress Aucelen brush off her husband"s concern.
"that ugly, poorly made silk bracelet? I can buy you more expensive one" Emperor Lam said.
"but that bracelet was made by your hand, it means a lot to me." Empress Aucelen said
"oh alright... I"ll make another one for you. Can you stand?" Emperor Lam said
"I…can… cannot. Oh… my legs lost all of its strength due to the blood lost and the agonizing pain" Empress Aucelen moaning, look at her husband with her puppy eyes and an obvious "damsel in distress" act in her voice.
Emperor Lam rolled his eyes and sigh, after order the city guard reestablish security at the prison. He then carries his wife back to the governor mansion.
