Antomea's Chronicle - Hera 1 A Mouse And A Dog

The new friend of this little girl who has just turned eight, leaks through the halls. Breathless, he does not avoid the strange inhabitants of this dark place and uses its small stature who allows it to squeeze between the legs of the hideous creatures that work here.

Terrorized by the child who laughs and jostles the monsters behind it, the little mouse pa.s.ses through many doors hoping to escape from its little pursuer.

Coming out of a vast dark dining room with Gothic furniture, it's heading to its right to take a small corridor.

Thinking it's found a way to sow the little devil it through the narrow pa.s.sage, the little mouse enters in a place whose door should be locked. Exhausted but relieved, the tiny animal, persecuted by the Palace's cherished child, disappears into a hole hidden behind barrels carelessly placed on the floor.

In the corridors, all the beings panic. The alarm is given. The little Princess so dear to His Highness Astaroth has seen fit to play in quarters that are forbidden to her.

From the smallest imp to the Great Exterminators, everyone except the servants who are forbidden to touch her, rush to this usually very secured place.

The little Princess Hera, has lost sight of her friend to this place. She knows that this place is strictly forbidden to her, but this twisted staircase whispers to her to jump her steps two by two.

The hesitant child plays with her fingers. More than anything else she likes to have fun and do silly things, but she doesn't want to see her nice daddy unhappy.

(Hera, my twisted steps are so much fun that it would be sad not to crush them).

These stairs are really talented to reaching children's hearts.

The little devil is forgetting her daddy. Her face lit up by big red eyes, she can't hold back her smile, revealing in pa.s.sing two little canines too cute to be scary.

With a small leap, Hera jumps two of the twisted steps. This game is entertaining, but something is missing to make it very fun.

A bolt of lightning pa.s.ses through her mind. She remembers seeing pebbles of coal in one of the barrels at the top.

"Moon, Star, h.e.l.l, d.a.m.nation."

Jumping up and down on one foot, the little princess with the blackened hands picks up her coal pebble. Her big eyes full of mischief, she looks for a step to reach and when she finds her target, she throws her coal pebble away with vigour.

"Moon, Star, h.e.l.l, d.a.m.nation, Chaos..."

The amused little girl repeats the operation: Aim, throw, jump, pick up, a hundred times, until her pebble of coal reaches a huge platform, surrounded by large lava pits.

"h.e.l.lo the dog, You're huge, but you're far from beautiful!"

The enormous three-headed dog over thirty feet tall, to whom these kind words are addressed, opens an eye.

The Cerberus in charge of guarding this place has very few visitors. It sometimes eats some curious servant, but never before has a mosquito ever bothered it during its nap.

The huge demon grunts at the little girl with black hair who allows herself to go around it. The sound of its cavernous howling runs through the room and heads for the stairs.

"Accelerate, the Princess is in great danger."

When she hears the voices coming from the stairs, Hera knows that if she gets caught, her daddy will spank her.

In a panic, she runs around the big three-headed dog who trying to crunch her.

Why doesn't this room have any furniture for her to hide in?

Hera's little legs are move faster and faster, the monster's jaws are snapping but they can't catch the mosquito whose speed leaves it perplexed.

This room is far too big for Hera who is so small, to see the whole of it.

She avoids once again the impressive jaws of the big dog, when suddenly, what she thinks is the best idea she's had all day, crosses her adorable little head.

Her mouth forming a mischievous smile, Hera suddenly runs towards the back of the big three-headed beast.

The dog has no time to react. It's the perfect time to put her plan into action and see the world from a higher plane.

Hera leaps on the hound's back. When she grabs its hair so tightly that she unintentionally manages to pull it out, the hound lets out a desperate howl of pain.

The angry Cerberus, tired of being tortured, shakes its gigantic body to expel the parasite, but tufts of hair pulled out after tufts of hair pulled out, Hera manages to reach the head of the big dog.

To contemplate this vast world, Hera glides down to the snout of the middle of the three-headed giant. Not wis.h.i.+ng to fall, let alone serve as dog food, she grabs the eyelids of the squealing beast.

"Listen, if you're nice, I will come down of your snout very quickly. That's better, that's my nice dog! You'll be free to close your eyes if you agree to guide me to a place where I can avoid the spanking Daddy will give me if he finds me."

Trapped by the little fingers that made il bald in several places on its back, the Cerberus wants nothing better than to get rid of this scourge.

Without waiting for the demon child to ask for its help a second time, the mastodon gallops without thinking back.

Despite its huge legs, it takes more than two minutes for the red-eyed dog to reach the other end of the platform, from which suffocating heat is released.

Little Hera wonders why the dog led her to this place.

No barrel to hide her, no furniture that could hold her little body, however, when her eyes land on an immaterial blue thing floating above the ground, she is so intrigued that without noticing it, she lets go of the Cerberus' eyelids.

The monster martyred by the little girl does not miss this moment to throw its enormous head forward with all its might.

The little girl, too absorbed by the blue thing she had never seen before, realizes that this strange object is getting bigger and bigger every moment, but for any reaction, she just opens her little pink mouth of amazement.

(Plop)

…

Four immense demons dressed in black are suspiciously watching the Cerberus who is lying on its back.

The priority not being to take care of this this probably slightly disturbed dog who thinks he's a poodle, the four giants démons who came to get their little Princess prefer to ignore the position of the creature, who is ridiculous to say the least.

"Cerberus, the little Princess, daughter of Grand Duke Astaroth, has disappeared. We believe she may have snuck in here. Have you seen a demon child in the last few minutes?"

The peeled-backed dog already felt very foolish presenting in that position itself to its superiors, but when it hears that the c.o.c.kroach it got rid of is none other than Its Highness, its already sweat-soaked truffles begin to trickle on the floor.

The dog thinks for a moment to talk about the dimensional portal that for some strange reason was activated, however, preferring to never have to deal with the little plague again, it shakes horizontally its muzzles towards the four immense demons.
