Creatures of Nightmarez

Chapter 9

“Just a wolf with fire powers, like how you are a FrostPaw,” Prince explained.

The group of three wolves ate the whole Dunkleosteus, and tossed its bones into the sea for the piranhas. Then they found a small ice overhang and all decided to curl up. Pax laid on the right and Astra was going to lay down beside him (it was a small overhang) but Prince quickly took the spot. Astra curled up on the left, beside Prince.

The group fell asleep in minutes.

###

Astra was suddenly in a dark place. Nothing could be seen.

“My dear.. so you know now. The prophecies.. the power beyond..”

Shadow’s voice echoed and Astra braced herself, prepared to create an ice trail to run. Yet she couldn’t active her powers. “No magic here, dear, except for mine.”

Astra snarled in disgust and anger.

“If I can even enter dreams, there will be no doubt I can get to the fifth wolf before you. Should be an easy task.. not even the powers of the beyond could save you then.”

And Astra saw a flash of Shadow’s face. More scars. More evil eyes.

“I’m your worst nightmare. You can’t beat me. No one ever will.”

###

Astra woke up, sweat on her face. It was the middle of the night. The swirls upon her sides and back glowed and she created snow that melted on her, cooling her body. Her bright blue eyes glimmered like diamonds this time of night.

She turned to look at Pax and Prince, sleeping softly. She could see Prince was quite cold, shivering in his sleep. Astra curled up closer to him and closed her eyes.

###

Astra woke up hours later. “Pax is hunting,” Prince said to her. She nodded and stretched her legs.

Prince was looking at her with shining green eyes until he noticed she knew and he shook his head and blushed. Astra wagged her tail in a playful way, nudging him.

She pranced over to a large pile of snow her swirls glowed. Soon the pile was on Prince.

He popped his head out, and used his powers to grab Astra with the sea toward him. They lifted each other slightly above ground, giggling and blushing. Astra’s nose was close to Prince’s.

“I’m back!” Yelled Pax. The magic stopped. Astra was flopped on the ground, soaking wet, and Prince was smothered in snow.

“Ohhh-k..” Pax said in an odd voice. “Well, I got a deer. Let’s eat.”

The group silently ate, Pax never asking what happened, and the other two never mentioning it.

Hope yall have a good holiday next week!
