Blood-Bellflower: A Bellflower Bunnies Tale.
Chapter 6.
Periwinkle had been taking refugee at an old hut for a whole night, he woke up at 7 AM, and had breakfast consisting of bread, orange juice and protein bars. After his breakfast, he continued heading to the temple. While heading to the temple, he stopped at a ranger’s hut. Then he heard a radio sound and turned his head. He heard the news on the radio saying unusual activity happening across some of the extraterrestrial rabbit colonies regarding civilians losing their minds in a savage and violent manner, and it even mentioned unusual activity that happens to be zombie outbreaks becoming a reality in real-life unintentionally in a gruesome manner. It even reveal that is wasn’t just the rabbit colonies happening across the nation Periwinkle currently living in, but also parts of the planet where human settlements are. Czech, New Zealand, Pakistan, Greece and Peru. It also mentioned 2 echidna colonies and 2 bear colonies struck by the zombie outbreaks as well. It even confirmed that USA, Poland as well as China are the next targets too. Periwinkle remained worried, then he continued to the temple. Then he took the path to the temple, and as he arrived, he saw the temple. Then he headed there at once. As got inside the temple, he saw something fascinating and wonderful. He saw hieroglyphs and carvings across the walls, and they even saw worn-down security cameras in the area. "This is the temple, and it must have somewhat old yet strong technology and very old carvings of pictures showing history of the planets we live in and the origins of many religious orders that have ties to God the Father, two of his students St Mythra and St Zeus, as well as the students of Mythra and Zeus including Sothis, Arval and Naguna." said Periwinkle "I don't know what is with that temple, but that's definitely something interesting. There are lot of discoveries about ancient buildings and more.", Then Periwinkle felt something unusual which happens to be something more holy, "I feel something strange.” Said Periwinkle “And that presence is by far more holy. If I could proceed closer, I can find the secrets of not only the temple, but also answers to my questions and answers to find out the cause of those problems since yesterday.". As he continued exploring the inside of the temple, they spotted an ancient door and it has ancient words written in mysterious letters. Those letters implemented consonants, vowels, digraphs, and punctuation marks. Words were separated by spaces. The letters of this alphabet could be written mainly left-to-right or up-to-down. All letters are the same relative size, although occasionally symbols were mirror-inverted to denote capital letters. Those letters belong to the Gree's as well as the Vulcans’ old alphabet spelling system, and it's different than the modern spelling system of both the humans and the alien rabbits. Even researchers and mystics used it on the temples that were built on both hidden islands and isolated spots of Europe and Asia in the Mid-16th Century during their act to protect creatures called the fairy beasts also known as the fairy animals from extinction and of course civil wars orchestrated by nefarious crime syndicates such as Foxhell. Periwinkle then remember something, he was told from Austin and Ruka as well as his parents and of course Nadia that the spelling that was strange was researched about 15 years ago, and those who researched the alphabet had revealed this information to other researchers and science teachers to help them solve clues about the mysteries of the temples and the alphabets and words written on it. Periwinkle looked at the door and its words written on it, “I know what it is…” said Periwinkle “I must've studied those words when I was 8 years old, my parents taught me to read those words and its alphabet. I know what it says, Light and Darkness are connected to each other as part of true existence. Light brings purity, life, sight, hope and daytime, while Darkness brings negativity, death, fear, greed and nightime. You can't always have one without the other. Our kind were once lagomoph fauna who somehow learned to speak, read, communicate verbally, walk on two feet and have strong emotions like other civilizations across the galaxy. To make sure our kind could survive, they must share the same intelligence, emotion, languages and of course sense of justice as other species do. Rabbits are own to be cunning, athletic and easily heard. We have humanoid limbs, five-fingered hands, feet, intelligence, verbal languages, emotions of sentients, lifespans that last for 250 years, crotches for males, breasts for females, stable veins and gifted talents. There are three main proverbs that each evolved animal race should know; The best defense is a strong offense, Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer, and Never become desperate enough to trust the untrustworthy. Five commandments are used for many religious rabbits to learn; "Do not steal", "Do not kill a living being", "Do not cause adultery including adult tyranny or child abuse", "Love your friends and family members" and "Never worship demons and false deities, but only angels, saints, holy spirits and actual deities including those who embrace properly the light such as Sothis, Arval and Naguna". The divine deity Mythra exists in some forms like God the Father, and so do the ancient rabbit and human saints. Nobility comes from Kingdoms, Empires, Republics and Confederacies alike, yet Nobility doesn’t always last forever, yet sometimes, it can be re-established, yet we mainly remained created equal. Each country is fairly ruled by a Sovereign Noble by the title President, Emperor, King or High Chancellor. The 5 common languages that are found across many countries are English, Italian, French, Japanese and Russian, but the language that is mostly common is English. Rabbits may be the dominant race of the planet, but they co-exist with the fairy animals across the world peacefully without any issues. Positive Emotions gives pure and divine demi-gods strength, while negative emotions give insidious individuals strength and madness. Facts and historical trivia will lead you to the power that helps you overcome fear and grief, and of course gain courage, compassion and confidence. May the Saint of Life, Mythra, and the Saint of Courage, Zeus, give you good fortune, honor and confidence. Come to close to the door and it'll let you pass by touching it's center. If it sees your pure and divine magic in your blood, you may be worthy of entering this sacred room. I try to open that door since something tells me something’s calling me.”, then Periwinkle walked up to the door and placed his hand on the center of the door. Then suddenly, the door opened and it showed a glowing light coming from the room the door revealed. Periwinkle then gasped in surprise and delight upon seeing it. He never thought the door would reveal a small hallway that will lead to a room containing a glowing light. "Could this room lead us to something very holy?" said Periwinkle “I might find out and see by following them, there could be a huge answer.”, Then Periwinkle entered the area and walked through the small hallway, which lead to the room where the glowing light is coming from. The room he went to is an ancestral shrine where it was full of stone statues, pillars, and of course a stone gazebo where there's a tangerine-colored orb glowing with light. Periwinkle gasped when he saw the orb and he walked up closely to it. When the boy walked up to the orb, he saw its colorful appearance of many shades of Orange, Blue and Pink. Then Periwinkle heard an unfamiliar voice, it belonged to a male being called Zeus, the ancient rabbit saint. "Hello, Periwinkle Bellflower." said Zeus "My name is Zeus, the legendary rabbit saint of courage born in planet Watership Prime. I know you're surprised to hear my voice, but I can be very wonderful and discovery-oriented.", "I can hear your voice, Zeus." said Periwinkle "But it is possible others can?", "Only Pure-Hearted Beings devoid of both darkness and evil can hear my voice." said Zeus "And you're one of them. A holy being like you has an ability to do wonderful magical powers that are tied to the heavens and the divine deity Mythra. I could see that you're a rabbit boy with a heart devoid of evil and darkness, and yet your powers are somewhat developing since you were 8 and your hidden potential in magic, honor, social skills and kindness combined may hold the key to the future of planet Earth and the planets your kind once originate from, including Watership Prime, in this case it's a good future.", "Are you saying that I can learn unique magical abilities that could help me overcome my insecurities, timid feelings, shyness and fears, and of course learn rare abilities and exotic spells that'll help me overcome many challenges, ordeals and exploits that will someday happen?" asked Periwinkle, “Yes, Periwinkle.” Said Zeus “That’s what I’m saying. I was also aware that you came here to find out what was the cause of those problems you’ve witnessed since yesterday and as well as trying to understand the visions you’ve been recently having every night. Which connects to your parents’ past as well as the past of their friends Papilio and Flora, your friend Pimpernelle’s mother and father.”, "But what must I do now since I'm inside the temple?" asked Periwinkle, "Touch this colorful orb which can help you learn those rare abilities and unique spells that can be useful in future." said Zeus "That way you might learn and understand the connection of your powers, origins, bloodline and connections to those you value deeply, including the visions you’ve recently have in the past nights as well as solving problems including the recent one you had since yesterday. Walk up to the orb and touch it.", "OK, I understand." said Periwinkle. Then Periwinkle starts to walk up to the orb and raised his hand to touch it. Periwinkle took breath while he touched the orb, "Funny, I had touched that colorful orb." answered Periwinkle "The voice of Zeus, the ancient rabbit saint, told me to and yet I need to learn the rare abilities and exotic spells that'll help me overcome future challenges, ordeals and exploits. I’m not insane, but still nothing happened recently. But still, I'll be fine.”, then Bramble arrived at the temple. When arrived at the temple, he saw his son Periwinkle touching the colorful orb, and then the light surrounding the orb shined on Periwinkle and then both he and the orb were seemingly consumed by the light. Bramble rushed to Periwinkle but stopped he ended up seemingly consumed by the light as well. Then Periwinkle finds himself surrounded by a blue glowing spatial area. Periwinkle looked around the place, and then saw glowing white silhouettes of holy beings, and one of the silhouettes revealed themselves to be a slate grey lop rabbit man with viridian long hair and a beard, Periwinkle gasped in surprise upon seeing him. Periwinkle then calmly walked up to the man and spoke to him, "Are you, Zeus?" asked Periwinkle "The ancient rabbit saint?", "Yes, Periwinkle." said Zeus "I am Saint Zeus.", "Wow." said Periwinkle "It is you, you are Zeus, the legendary saint of Watership Prime and you remind me of a famous actor from a republic country located in one of the rabbit homeworlds who played a few mystical characters in a variety of films and live-action TV shows.", “Yes.” Said Zeus as he chuckled “Which is exactly true yet impressive.”, "Are you going to help me practice my abilities and of course my hidden potential that may be the key to the future of our planet?" asked Periwinkle "I am good enough to learn those abilities in honor.", "I am going to help you with that, and so will the others." said Zeus "But don't worry, I'm sure you'll be comfortable with this.", Periwinkle smiled and then Zeus walked up closely to Periwinkle, "Now listen carefully of what am I going to tell you." said Zeus. Then Periwinkle began to listen, he started to learn unique abilities, he learned how to place objects telekinetically to places he can't easily reach, then he learned how to emit a powerful magical shields to defend himself, he even learned other unique abilities. Finally he learned how to do a special ability called a zaliataravos-connection bond, an ability to connect and communicate with not only communicate with magical individuals but also powerful fairy beasts, and some people with powerful magic are strong enough to do that. It is a powerful connection that existed between two magical being with very powerful and unique magical abilities. Such a bond was even capable of being used to teleport most matter. Despite its advantages, a bond could be sometimes manipulated by those using dark magic or black magic. Even if the unintentional bond was detected, it could still be extremely difficult to break, but it is impossible to break the bonds permanently regardless of what the user is connected to. It took three hours and 10 minutes to learn those abilities, and yet it nearly caused Periwinkle to pass out. Periwinkle rested for 50 minutes, while resting he saw the same visions again. He saw the vision of a demonic force who wants to throw Earth into chaos with support from the zealots tainted and driven violent by its madness, Foxhell. He also something in the vision of what is going to happen to his family and his friends, he also saw in the vision a violent zombie outbreak caused by the dark miasma, he also had a vision of what would happen to the humans as well as the extraterrestrial colonists who lived here, and he also had a vision of what will happen to the planet’s fate. He saw in the vision mortals killed by those lethally infected and reconstructed by that black mist will end up being reconstructed into undead within 10 seconds. I even saw something that resembles a black hole and that it was that of a black glowing sphere with a destructive aura and it can suck up anything into it, yet it wouldn’t kill those who have become undead and demonic. Periwinkle feared that something bad will happen. Then he saw demonic being with black aura glowing, and that was Belphegor, the Demon Lord of Pure Evil and Fell God of Terrorism. Then he saw the unholy weapon, Elixemgulat. He then saw a mysterious near-human figure named Thalez Del Moriartagoz along with 5 other individuals who are unfamiliar to him. Then 10 seconds later he saw a demonic grey face with demonic eyes, bloody face and vampire-like teeth, as well as hearing a banshee scream. Periwinkle woke up in shock yet he didn’t scream upon what he saw, he just made a short yelp sound instead. Then Zeus walked up to Periwinkle after Periwinkle woke up. "Although you're born with extremely powerful magic." said Zeus "Your 4 other siblings lack the abilities for reasons that have yet to be revealed. Fortunately, your older brother Poppy has powerful IQ, your older sister Violette and her twin brother Mistletoe have extremely powerful acrobatic skills, and your younger brother Dandelion, he only has strong sense of creativity and very strong running skills. Despite this, you're a full-fledged Demi-God and the wielder of the Holy Magic and Holy Light just like your deceased mother, Isabella.", "So you do know that Mommy has wielded the Holy Magic and Pure Light." said Periwinkle "I somehow had a feeling that the ancient saints know that both me and my mother wield both the Pure Light and Holy Magic.", "That’s correct, Periwinkle, dear boy." said Zeus "Us ancient saints and beings from heaven know everything about you, your mother and your bloodline. You're born with a heart filled with pure holy light devoid of both evil and darkness, and yet your powers were awakened when you were 8 years old and they aren't strong enough. They need to develop every week, but if your heart and mind is somewhat strong enough, it might develop your powers every 4 days instead of every week as usual.", "But are you sure it'll work?" asked Periwinkle, "That depends." said Zeus, "Are you serious?" asked Periwinkle "Surely that I would probably place my life at huge risk if something drastic happens.", "Periwinkle, your divine powers are limitless, but somewhat dangerous, uncommon and risky. There could be a weakness to you, but thankfully you won't be killed by this weakness. Weakness may only last for 18 minutes, but it will be pushed back." said Zeus "Isabella has done gotten a similar matter like this in the past, but managed to push it back. There could be an explanation about your existence and powers, as well as your mother's existence and powers, as well as your maternal grandfather before both you and her.", "But nobody may understand the meaning and existence of those powers." said Periwinkle "Normally magic is passed down to all offspring, but to one offspring by blood, that's very unusual and very rare.", "Sad but strangely true." said Zeus "But you, Periwinkle and your mother and some of your maternal ancestors are rare exceptions. The mysteries of both you and your mother and your maternal bloodlines will be revealed soon enough, but not to all of public at once. It must happen to each group of people at once, starting with your father, Bramble; your uncles, aunts and cousins; and your siblings and your faithful and most trustworthy friends, including you.", "All of my friends and family?" asked Periwinkle “For real?”, "Only those who have a good bond with you." said Zeus as he chuckled "And that'll be Lilli, Anthony, Pimpernelle, Tony, Keaton, Gina, Ruka, Austin, Sylvester and Nadia, the ones who you Periwinkle befriended since he arrived at Blueberry Hill.", "But, Zeus." said Periwinkle "I'm a little more moderately close to them, even though I'm getting along with them very well.", "Don't worry, boy." said Zeus "I'm sure they'll get to know you that often.", "Yes, but..." said Periwinkle, "Hmm?" said Zeus "What could that be?", "Some insidious individuals may get information about me or my family if they kidnap one of my siblings or my friends." said Periwinkle "And yet I have a strange feeling they may come after me as a result.", "Don't worry, Periwinkle." said Zeus "I'm sure nothing bad will happen to you, as long as you develop your skills. Including your athletic abilities and both your maturity and heart.", "I see." said Periwinkle. “One more thing, boy.” Said Zeus “I know you also had the same vision in the past few days while you were resting for 50 minutes. You did witness not only a man named Thalez Del Moriartagoz, but also the demon lord Belphegor, the fell god and the demon lord of destruction and greed. You even saw what is going to happen in the future.”, “Yeah.” Said Periwinkle “But still I need to make sure something unearthly won’t ever happen in life.”, “That’s the spirit, child.” Said Zeus “You need to faith in your heart, your life, your family and friends and the divine spirits including me and Mythra. But still your faith is the answer to deal with your problems and upcoming ordeals and incidents.”, "Are you going to leave with the others?" asked Periwinkle, "I am for now, boy." said Zeus "But remember one thing, Periwinkle, dear child. There are some powerful beings more frightening or benevolent than other regular magical beings. I'm sure you'll discover who they are soon enough. Until we meet again, Periwinkle Bellflower.". Then came a huge flash, and Periwinkle was back at the ancient shrine. Then he saw Bramble, he was relieved to see his son, but was also angry with him he went there alone and had both him and his paternal aunt worried sick. “Periwinkle, my son.” Said Bramble “I’m glad you’re safe, but what the hell were you thinking, boy?! You could’ve died, and you should’ve known better to go gallivanting off to the temple to find answers to what happened yesterday.”, “Yes, Daddy, I know.” Said Periwinkle “And I’m deeply sorry, I didn’t want to worry you and the others. I have reason to go to the temple in the forest to find answers.”, “Well?” said Bramble, then Periwinkle explained everything what happened two nights ago, what happened yesterday, as well as his experience in the temple, and how all of this are connected to each other. Bramble finds it hard to believe at first, but when he remembered something as well as what happened yesterday between Poppy and Violette and Pimpernelle and Emile twice at noon and after lunch and dinner. “If what you said is true, son.” Said Bramble “Then something tells me that both of us must have experienced ordeals that may be connected to each other, when we arrive back to home, I’ll explain to you something what happened long ago, and of course how I’ve witnessed and heard the incidents between two of your siblings and Pimpernelle, as well as the incident between Poppy and Emile yesterday. I promise you that, boy.”, then Periwinkle and Bramble headed back to their home, Blueberry Manor. Periwinkle still had a strange feeling about what he saw in the visions he had over the past few nights, also he recently had a strange feeling about what will happen to Poppy next, as well as Emile.
