The Forgotten Wolf - Episode 9

 

Prince Philip made his way home after he had met with the village washer man. 

As soon as he got home he went straight to meet his father in his throne room, the father was with their general, Leo, discussing the affairs of the kingdom.

"Father, I would like to speak with you privately", Philip said immediately he sighted his father. King Alexander seeing the serious look on his son face, told general Leo to excuse them . When Leo left them, he turned to face his son and asked him.

"What is it son? I don't like the look on your face".

"I know", Prince Philip said simply.

"You know? Oh, you mean you know of your arrange marriage I and the king of Crescent Moon kingdom are making between his beautiful daughter, Princess Erica and you? I was going to inform you soon son, when you are not always disappearing everyday from the castle", King Alexander said in flow.

"What I want to know is for you to tell me about my past and who removed my memories of my past life. I need to know....."

The full statement of what his father said processed into his head.

Prince Philip was speechless and shocked. 

"What!!?" He thundered.

"I know you are surprised by this, but it is for your own good Philip, I want to put the end of the endless fight these two kingdom are always fond of having, and the only way to end it is by marriage". King Alexander said causally as if it was simple, trying to make his son forget the question he just asked.

Who had told him he has a past?

Prince Philip breathing through his nose slowly as he said.

"Marriage you say? Marriage my foot

. I will not get married to a mannerless girl who calls herself a Princess, if you know what is good for you or for this kingdom you'd better tell them I won't get married to Erica".

"My son, you have to see reasons to this, Princess Erica is good for you. She is beautiful, kind and a well behaved lady who would make you happy". King Alexander said smiling at his son.

"And like I have always told you or anyone who cares to listen, I will not get married to anyone who is not Odin". Prince Philip said not knowing how the words slipped out from his.

He looked surprise and so was his father. But his father, has a look of fear in his eyes which was unlike him

"Odin? Who told you that name?"

"I know who she is father, which brings us to the matter at hand, Who is Odin and what was she to me?"

"I don't know what you are talking about?" King Alexander lied through his teeth.

"DO NOT LIE TO ME", Prince Philip shouted bellicosity, thunder was heard outside. For a moment he saw fear in his father eyes.

"Like I told you I don't know what you are saying son, I don't even know who is Odin".

Prince calm down and turned to go then pause.

"If I eventually find out you know and you are hiding the truth form me, I will cause a great havoc in your kingdom and that of Crescent's". He said calmly and walked out of the throne room leaving his father to his thought.

King Alexander was greatly troubled. If his son eventually find out the truth like he said he would, then everything they had worked for will be gone in a blink of an eye.

No, he cannot let that happened.

He left the the throne room and went to his chamber. As soon as he got in, he fasten the door and locked it securely.

Then he went to his closest, opened it and  pushed out his clothes to reveal a door. He said some magic words and it opened.

He went inside the secret door, and looked at the only occupant in it.

A beast. 

White, huge, hairy with horns that adorned its forehead, he has wings but his eyes were that of rainbow color. The Beast was chained with a razor blade chained, on its neck was a black chain; all over his body were chains of different magic that were made not to free him no matter how he pulled.

The Beast saw the king and laughed softly.

"What brings you here Alexander?" He asked.

"What did you do to my son? He asked me of Odin today", the king asked.

"Your son? I once told you Alexander, a day is coming when I will be free from this bondage and unite with my real body. When he remembers all, I will be free.

. I told you Alexander, my Odin will be back and when I finally unite with her, I will make you pay Alexander that is a promise".

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you and Philip".

"No, you don't hate us, you only hate the fact that we don't follow your rules Alexander. You can't keep me bound here forever, I am Philip as he is me. We are one, and you Alexander can't change it. I have know when Odin was born, felt the pains she has passed through, once Philip remembers, I am out of here; isn't that the only way to break this magic?". The Beast said smirking.q

"Gloat all you want Philip, but I can assure you, I will win over you again".

"Like you did to me 90,000 years ago? I doubt it Alexander. You seems to have forgotten so soon, that my Odin has been re born again".

"Re born?" Alexander asked suddenly surprised.

"Beat me".

King Alexander left the room angrily.

"It is our destiny Alexander and no one can change that", 
The beast voice said as he locked the secret door with magic, no matter how much noise the beast made; no one can hear him.

The Beast and Philip were connected that was why it had lived through those years.

It takes only strong dark magic to separate Philip and his breast from his body. The Beast hold all memories of their past. 

And if Philip eventually remembers then he will have his memories back.

"What am I going to do?" Alexander asked no one in particular. "I can't see everything I have worked for all these years disappeared with a flip of a hand".

Should he call the witch again?

"There is something they are not telling us Erica, I can feel it".

"Me too Eric, but they do not want to tell us what is really going on", then gasped Did you see the look on mother, when the high priestess made mention of someone Arizona?" Erica suddenly asked.

"Yes I noticed, something within me tells me that there is more, something ancient that they are hiding and I am going to find out whatever it is". Eric said

"Me too brother".
