Part 1
"Cough"
As he slammed into the ground he coughed up blood.
"Just how much is the difference between us?"
The disparity of being knocked down with a tongue hurt his ego.
He tried getting up but his body was done moving as a couple of bones were broking.
"Ha, I guess it's time I use what I learned from that bastard who was after my body."
His body started steaming and the upper half of it was buffing up, it grew several times bigger with muscles.
"Huff" "Huff"
The blood vessels in his body were burning up giving him the strength to fight against the lizard.
With one step he started running like a senseless machine and he did look like one.
And opposite him the blade lizard was coming at him, both of them were like trains coming at each other.
Boom
Both of them clashed, it was wracking as the lion was sent flying far.
Following that, the blade lizard split the ground with an uppercut swing of his blade arm.
Half of the lion's body was skinned as the muscle tissue of his body was visible.
Slicing off the lion's right arm the blade lizard started swinging his blade arms slicing off trees and the ground.
The shock of this battle was attracting many's attention as nothing serious happen in the forest on such a scale.
To the Amazons, although this forest is for their pets to roam free and live the life of the wild they also come into the forest picking up herbs, honey, and other plants that benefit them.
When the Amazons come of age at fifteen they are assigned to jobs and the jobs vary some of them are Horticulturalists, Farmers, Constructionists, Glaziers, Carpenters, Chefs, Warriors, etc…
They don't do work for a currency that's how the outside world works but in Amazon Islas, they are all one big family.
Work is done for their community and as their hobby.
Being locked up on an island does not mean they become lazy or are left behind as the world around them develops.
It is everyone's dream to do something they love, and some girls who come here to study plants and collect herbs heard a battle nearby while they were studying plants.
One of these girls wandered off from her group going deep into the forest when suddenly her surroundings were sliced.
She came close to death by the hair as she was shorter.
In a panic, she fell screaming like a siren even the birds that were flying away from the battle heard her scream flying off into the distance.
The swinging of the blades continued and it seemed even if the blade lizard heard her he wouldn't care as the blood lust was consuming him.
With her cry, the other girls came noticing their friend was in danger.
"Anisa, get away from there." One of the girls yelled.
"Sub" "Sub" "Sub"
"I… can't my legs… they won't move." Looking at them with puppy eyes the tiers were floating like a fountain.
It didn't take long for them to realize that Anisa would be next as a tree next to her was suddenly cut down.
But before the inevitable happened.
"Caging Bird" (Meow)
It wasn't long before a yellow electric current encircled Anisa, or the blade swing might have slashed her a second or two later.
"Meow" She seemed to say what bliss that my timing was perfect otherwise the mistress might have killed that oaf.
An orange tabby jumped off from a tree nearby landing close to where Anisa was.
Whispering to the girls she said.
"Meow," (Human girls weren't you warned to not come deep into the forest?)
"Ah, cat it's you!"
They ran up to her, but she jumped like a frightened cat before they could get close.
"Meow" (Don't you dare think I would be swayed by your praises and brushing my fur.)
"Meow" (Hmm, or maybe I'll allow it this once.)
She walked elegantly towards them.
The girls came together telling her she was beautiful and strong which is the only thing that makes her gentle towards them.
After making sure they were okay she transformed into a bolt of electricity and flew to where the blade lizard was.
"Anisa let's go, I think something bad is happening in the forest."
One of the girls said to Anisa she is her friend and when it comes to her friend she knows exactly how her mind works.
"OK sister Jojo but shouldn't we go and see?" wiping the tiers from her face she stood up wanting to persuade the others.
"Absolutely no. Are you this much crazy, you almost lost your life besides the cat is gonna fight with the monster, so do you think this forest would be unscathed?"
With an attitude of a teacher, she got close to her, lecturing her with her finger on her head.
"Now let's go otherwise I'll tell the big sisters you went deep into the forest again."
"Ahh, alright jeez why go like this all of sudden."
Retreating from the forest slowly they headed to the infirmary.
***
"Huff" "Huff" "Huff"
He was breathless as he was clinging to dear life.
The only thing on his mind was to stay strong.
I thought I knew when I came into this world that I was special and no life form other than me should label itself as the highest.
But I saw it wrong my pride is meaningless, this world is ruled by one thing and I do not qualify.
Despite their claims, I know from experience that this is a façade designed to cover up the actual bloodline.
My mother… talked about me being a king, one that she waited for and a king of great strength.
There was something in her bloodline that she, or rather her ancestor, saw, and I'm that something, or so I thought, but now I wonder if I must even consider such a possibility.
Because I'm weak.
I cannot fulfill her dreams and the desires she wished for.
But in life, although I lived for a year and so when life tells your special you are expected to say thank you.
But I said I was born with a kingdom without denizens because I will create them not them making me a ruler.
I'm in a line where I'm one step away from death and in this line, the choice remains the same get up or lay down.
Mother, you said we are slaves, pets for humankind, lower creatures for not being evolved.
I don't know whether to agree or disagree but I stand firm that your death was not in vain and I shall fulfill that dream of yours.
Awaken my heart I die not today for my story has just begun.
Lub Dub… Lub Dub Lub Dub
As the faint heartbeat started it begin to sound like a drum.
The air felt different and those on the island felt the changes but could not point out what it was.
He looked back to the time when he was being taken over.
At that time something made him see the life experience of the blue gem, it was from an entity known as the guardian.
To battle against his enemy from outer space he turned the elements into powers and when he defeated the enemy he felt like it was not over.
And to find a way to preserve his life because in the fight though he won he lost more and was dying.
So he sought to separate his powers into 11 gems each holding part of his power and personality.
Yes, now I know why that thing woke up and wanted my body.
But he saw it wrong my bloodline is a trait of mine and in order to protect itself it showed you impurities.
Leaving my body you thought was a good deal but in that action, you lost the authority of your powers.
You are a husk of ego with nothing the cold energy you carry is not the real thing and my blood took it all.
Now I will rise as the blue-eyed king Monarch of Frost and king of all that is a cat no matter the species.
In bewilderment, the blade lizard look at what was transpiring in front of him.
The lion that was one foot in the grave was rising and a little flame appeared on his forehead.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
This flame was black and an ominous aura was leaking from it he felt like if he neared him even one step from where he is his whole being will be extinguished.
In a flash, orange electricity bolted in between them.
The figure of a cat was revealed and surprises could be seen on her face as something mysterious was making her bow to the injured, almost dead lion.
"Meow"
She was having difficulties understanding as her mind was being overtaken instinctively.
"It is okay to say no but when the king grants you freedom, you bow in thanks."
Kerrakion spoke to her in a demeanor where she could not disagree.
Or, rather her mind longed for the skies but she owed her master loyalty for everything she has.
"So, you have chosen. Be it then."
"But when I call for a favor you do because I give you my promise that I will repay it fully."
She looked at him for a long time, all those times in the past flashed through her mind.
The first time he was introduced he was nothing but a weak little cub.
But he spoke the human language and beast tongue making him mysterious in some ways.
But when he started to follow that bull he become more and more savage wanting to fight and rule despite being weak.
He grew up to be a strong asset just like the ones she raised and they are their own selves but loyal to the kinship of felines.
They are ferocious yes, but not to the point of pointing their fangs at their allies.
And now must she protect this fool who killed the ones who were part of her family.
She knows that although the humans who took them in are not the same or equal to them and she takes it for granted.
They are given homes and no predator threatens them all they do is be of service to the humans in defending this home and in a relationship of guardian type of thing where both parties guard each other.
They play together, live together, and no boundaries are crossed.
And she has a master, one that made her strong, one that made her protector of her family, the one that is loved by beasts and monsters.
On this island there is no prejudice like in the outside world there are no leashes on their necks and no cages to hold them.
Even though this guy the blade lizard is an executioner he does not kill indiscriminately only those who break the rules.
He is a freak of nature yet does not intervene in others' matters even if he sees you killing he will wait until after the murder is done and then proceed to take action against it.
And then she turned to look at the blade lizard the shock was all over his face and it seem he might get serious in this fight like his life is dependent on it.
"Meow"
"NO, I shall do of no things I'm not petty or ungrateful that I would do that."
"Meow"
"Then it is settled I will see you after I awoke from my slumber."
Saying that he closed his eyes breathing steadily and waited to fall asleep.
But something unexpected overtook him.
The black flames on his forehead engulfed him, burning his body to cinders.
First what little skin was left on his body burned and then all the meat in his body melted away.
Only the three major organs in his body remained the brain, heart, and kidneys.
"Meow"
The cat jumped in fright so did the blade lizard.
The black flames seemed to make them agitated and uncomfortable.
As he burned he started screaming in agony but there was no voice coming out and his bones crumbled to dust but the flames reconstructed them.
This continued for 99x making the two monsters get further away from him.
And he rolled over and over to die down the flames but it did not leave his body let alone burn the surrounding only he was burning.
Finally, in what felt eternity for him, the flames died down only a small portion of flame remained flickering on his forehead.
His body started to recover and a blue ice shell covered him just like when he was inside the womb of his mother.
But this time the cocoon was frosty ice dancing like a flame.
It was pretty weird as the cocoon egg was frosty blue swaying like a flame.
And thus entered his evolution hibernation, what he comes out as is up to him if the path of evolution for him is firm then he shall be born as desired.

Part 2
A few minutes ago.
On the east side of the island where the white jungle is situated in the ancient buildings.
A tall figure was inside one of those buildings.
As she walked she looked at the long chains chaining up a tail that was flickering a black flame at the end of it.
This tail was 20 meters long and like a living snake it was wriggling around but the chains kept in place.
"Haa, what a marvelous thing, it was not long ago when you were completely dead, and now 19 years later you move wow!"
This figure is the queen of the Amazons.
15 meters tall with dark skin, and curly long afro hair that is silver.
Long legs define her beauty as she is mature from top to bottom with a balanced body full of muscles.
With great white feather wings attached to her back, she puts all to shame.
And with her spear in hand, she stands at the pinnacle of spear art.
She is known by many names queen of the skies, the wind of freedom. Or tornado the manslaughter.
Queen Malika Zola, protector and ruler of Amazon Islas, and a member of the winged human clan.
From her title alone you'd think she is the definition of a feminist but in reality, she is the voice of reason.
She judges righteously and knows every man is not her enemy but rather those who walk on women are who she slaughters.
She magnanimously wishes for equal rights for everyone but at the same time, Amazon Islas is for those women who are rejected by the world or have no homes.
Because of the position, she's in she takes certain actions which would label her a mad person or a slaughterer but her choice is for the benefit of her people.
The sisters she swore to protect, the sister that she would look all over the world to save from their predicament.
Thus she is hailed as a hero by her sisters and a role model for all women because her love knows no bond.
"What was it that made you old relic of the past tense up?"
She gazed into the burning tail as it burned itself to extinction.
No, rather the tail burning meant that there is a new owner of the flame.
It was not long ago when the monster empress of flame came to the human world from the forbidden land.
The first being, known to ever cross that barrier in human history.
A continent that makes up to 50% of the world's land.
In it are the monster prisoners who will engulf this world in its entirety.
The monsters housed in there are said to be capable of destroying the world.
And when she came out 200,000 trained soldiers who broke the human limitations that ranched from 1 star-6 star warriors fell.
Leaders around the world were alarmed by this since a force of this strength could topple a country in short order.
But for them to fall before one monster was mind-boggling.
For her flame to act again means either she is back or another like her is born.
Her powers are too dangerous to handle, and we need the fire to bring our mother the founder of Amazon back.
Taking off the mask on her face, she blew a breath of air and the chains came undone, releasing the tail.
Leaving the old ancient building, she followed it closely flapping her wings to see where it was heading, and after confirming it, she headed up north.

Part 3
Flying from the white jungle to the residency took her some time but she arrived breathlessly.
Having awakened a unique ability to control the elements, she could travel long distances in a short period, but she prefers to take things slowly and still her wings pick up wind traveling kilometers.
Seeing their queen fly above them the girls started running and waving.
From how happy they were you can tell their love for the queen.
In this world being a ruler means you're in a different class than the citizens or rather the commoners.
But on Amazon Islas, there is no such status she is queen and a sister to them.
They dine together, bathe together, play together, and enjoy life in their way not following how the outside world behaves.
She waved back and seeing their happy faces she felt down a little because of the mask she is wearing she feels like she is hiding her true feelings from them.
She knows why it's because of their safety to keep them out of harm's way.
Her identity can't be known otherwise the island will be at constant war with other nations.
It's clear to her that they do not mind this but when the kids look at her she knows they wanna see her face.
After passing the residential district she neared the castle and saw the many children coming in and out of the castle.
Yes, this is the castle of the ruler but all are welcome to live in it, and because of its designs the newcomers and children like it so much that they come back time after time.
For her, a castle is no different than a normal house.
So, she likes that others spend time in the castle making it lively.
The bird's patrolling the skies greeted her.
These are one of the most dangerous bird's in the world they're trained to kill mercilessly, especially anything that resembles snakes.
Something attracts them to this island and when they are on the island their evolution process is at its highest.
Two hundred blue-level birds of all kinds and thousands of birds who are closer to evolving.
Some of them are cockatiel dragons, owlbears, lighting eagles, and blind sparrows.

Entering the castle she was greeted by her royal guards.
"Welcome back your highness."
In rows, they lined up saluting to the queen and the little girls threw flowers welcoming her.
"Yes, yes!" She waved back.
"Okay, girls go and tell the sister we'll be having a big festival party in about four months and they should stop their work to prepare for the festival."
"Wow, really I love parties." Said one of them.
And in succession, they all started saying the same thing.
After seeing the little girls leave she asked.
Clapping, to get the guard's attention she asked.
"Is Neena back?"
"No, your highness she said she would be patrolling the perimeter of the island."
One of the royal guards stepped up to answer her, she is called sister Ann.
The royal guards are divided into two divisions the attacking division and the defense division.
Ann is part of the defense division and her role is to guard the castle in the queen's absence.
"Call for the Amazons outside to come back home in three months also tell granny Anie to come into my study room."
"Yes, your highness."
The palace is made of a square structure with four towers supporting it on each side, these towers are about 625 meters in height and the palace is 957,835 square meters.
When it comes to buildings they do it precisely as their history goes almost a millennium.
Next to the barbarians their history is tied to the world and is one of the first civilizations.
They never fall short when it comes to military power as they are ranked third and going to war with them has a huge loss outcome.
That is why they're the balance of this world.
Queen Zola walked into her quarter and stood in front of a closet full of gowns and dresses that have their backs designed just for her.
Even with her wings and height she never misses the joy of being a woman and wearing all the clothes she can have.
She tried a few finally settling on a dress that was feathered with diamonds on it.
Yes, real ones and it was split on the leg to not get in the way if she were to ever run or make a movement that would restrict her because of it.
She set in front of a mirror and opening the dresser she took out a half mask that was silver.
Taking off the one she had on.
She looked at her reflection and it was beauty itself her irises had different colors followed by one pupil that was silver.
She as part of the winged human race has a unique bloodline the blood of royalties.
In this world, only two kinds of people have different eye colors, one is royalty eyes they are born with a unique talent because of that this talent ranches from the brain to the body.
A normal person can have eyes like this but dies early due to the illnesses that come with them.
To have eyes like this your body and mind should be able to handle it and that's where the winged humans come in.
They are born with wings that help them sour through the sky like a bird.
And a body that is far greater than the barbarians not in terms of strength but in wielding the ability to bend lighting.
Of Course, there are awakened abilities that are lighting based but you'd have to use the core of a monster to awaken it.
But to them, it is natural as breathing air that is why their body is great because they can handle lighting.
The different eye color tells of the blood but it goes further as their eyes and wings are linked.
An example is if she is evil her wing colors will take the same color as the eye.
Gold pupils are seen in humans with wings, while silver pupils are seen in normal humans.
She is in between.
Putting on the new mask which covered half of her face vertically the covered side could not be seen.
The side that was showing had silver pupils and irises.
She picked up a lipstick made of 100% pure silver diamond crystal.
Any normal human would die from using this lipstick because it is like putting liquefied iron that is burning hut onto your lips.
When it touches flesh it melts on the skin quickly becoming a hard diamond.
Though her mask covered half of her face it did not cover her mouth.
The smile on her ceased getting serious she got up and walked out of the room going into her study room.
Wow, it really is happening and it's here out of all places.
In her mind, all she could think about was how things have been going their way lately.
Maybe it's fate or this accursed century will become more chaotic and our fortune could turn into misfortune.
And again who am I to care about such things what ever comes my way will be dealt with force.
I will not allow anything to happen during my reign even if it means death.
The empire or those filthy mutants can send all the spies they want even if you invade the island you will not succeed.
Ohh we are this or that you must comply with our demands, women are meant to be our sacrifices, you have no freedom, or you are weaker than us, all you talk about is dog shit.
You are nothing Amazon Islas withstood hundreds of invasions and we defeated you all one by one and all together.
One after another Amazon heroes rose and led to our victories protecting our long history of sisterhood.
And in this generation, the best of us are here.
As the queen declares to herself their enemies would not have it easy and they are ready for whatever comes their way.
The world sets in motion for a new chapter because war is on the horizon and every individual with a strong will can sense it.
End of Chapter 8
