ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 36 - Narakas ahead
Belamis tolled the large craft - Starry Princess - with her limbs chained to it. Medora was in the craft, watching Belamis pulling the heavy craft along as they travelled to the void of Galaxy Energy.

Dr. Kitty was on the trasmitter, and said, "Medora, the places you and Belamis are heading, is more dangerous than the journey Princess Aurora, Kugo and others went. Before it was a weakening of Galaxy Energy that caused monters to appear, the Galaxy Energy was still there - the region you are heading towards.... spanning many star systems is completely devoid of Galaxy Energy. There's only the evil energy and the place will be more dangerous - storms, blizzards, fire and many disasters will struck, monsters of unthinkable forms will attack you, and people there are suffering..."

Medora asked, "What will happen to us ? What shall we do ?"

"I believed the guardians of Gariusu giantess turned Belamis to her giantess form for a reason - only in this form would Belamis be able to protect you and fight. Before that she fights primarily in her human form, and cannot transform to her giantess form at will, unless her loved ones are in mortal danger. This kind of waiting is not affordable in this situation." Dr. Kitty replied.

Then suddenly the craft slowed down and stopped. It was Belamis who stopped, and she was staring at a patch of the cosmos not far away.

The patch looked very dark, and there's an eerrie feeling.

Belamis growled like a beast. In her giantess form, her wild blood and instinct was primary, alongside with her human intellect.

"Belamis, what is it ?" Medora asked, as she stepped out of the craft and stood on the deck.

Belamis stared at the patch, her facial expression was serious. She looked at Medora, and uttered, "... inside....."

Medora understood, Belamis told her to get back in the craft. Then Belamis exerted her strength and started pulling the craft.

As they neared the patch, Medora felt it - it was getting colder and colder.

Belamis then carried the craft on her back, and then Medora felt warm again - Belamis was using her body to warm up the craft.

Dr. Kitty was on the transmitter, "Belamis' has an instinct to sense danger ahead, so she warned you. She is now using her own energy to keep Starry Princess warm. The temperature outside the craft is much lower than freezing. If you went out, you will be frozen all over, and crack...."

Medora watched the other screen, showing Belamis carring the craft. A thin layer of frost formed on Belamis' skin. Belamis was naked and was subjected to the elements out there.

"What will the people here be like?" Medora wondered.

Belamis body sustained burns from the extreme cold, and blisters were on her breats, back and limbs.

Medora was saddened to watch all this, Belamis was hurting already from the extreme cold. Then she saw before them a planet.

Belamis stopped, and looked at the planet, and opened her lips, trying to say something.

"What is it ?" Medora asked.

Belamis stopped, and looked again. Then she turned to Medora, and uttered, "...people....people suffering.."

Medora closed her eyes, and in her telepathy, she saw a horrid picture - people were exposed to extreme cold because of the void in Galaxy Energy turned this area into a freezing hell.

"Belamis...we must help them.." Medora said.

Belamis nodded in agreement, she also felt the suffering, a tear drop formed at the corner of her eye, and immediately frozen to a crystal like drop.

Belamis then carried the craft on her back and landed on the planet.

The scene made both of them gasped.

There were scores of people, skin turned blue and cracked.

Dr. Kitty at the transmitter, said, "The people could neither die nor escape from this freezing hell....the only way as to restore Galaxy Energy to bring back the warmth and also heal their body..."

Belamis placed Starry Princess on the ground, and knelt down.

The people never seen such a gigantic being, and screamed in horror.

Medora wanted to come out and comfort the people, but Belamis placed her hand on the exit and stopped.

"Cold....." She uttered.

Medora understood, she would freeze immediately to a piece of ice and crack.

"Belamis....I have to save them..."

Belamis hold her palms out, and Medora hopped into Belamis' giant palms. In side Belamis' palms, she was kept warm by Belamis.

Belamis hold Medora towards the people, and nodded at the people.

"A goddess?" Some remarked, as they saw the giantess before them appeared kind and gentle.

Then Medora radiated out her Galaxy Energy, the people began to feel it - the cold blisters on their body were gone, and gradually the planet got warmer and warmer.

The people cheered.

Then suddenly a large icy monster appeared, blewing blizzard at the people.

Belamis roared, and shielded the people from the blizzard.

The blizzard caused Belamis to freeze all over, but Medora was protected in her palms and was not harmed.

Belamis roared and broke the ice on her body, but some part of her body there were still a layer of cold ice, the monster grapped that layer on her breasts and pulled.

There was a horrible ripping sound, and Belamis right breast was ripped open as a part of her flesh was pulled off with the ice. Belamis growled in pain. As blood streamed out of the wound on her breast, the blood immediately freezed over, the contraction of the frozen blood caused her opened wounds to hurt, and Belamis groaned in pain.

Then the monster blew another blizzard at Belamis turning her skin to a blue color. The cold was extreme and Belamis body suffered the painful cold burns all over, and she clutched her teeth in pain.

Then Belamis moved herself, the movement torn open her skin at her large muscles -- arms, legs, back and pectorals, as her skin became hardened upon freezing - her movement and exertion of muscles tore opened her skin. Belamis roared in pain - but because Belamis had to protect Medora, she could not use her arms and hands to fight.

Blood flowed out of Belamis' cracked frozen skin, along with the pus of the blisters of her body, and those body fluid freezed over too, causing even more pain on Belamis.

Then the monster opened its mouth and spitted spikes of hard ice, tens of them hitting  Belamis, poking deep to her body, with a few poked right through her chest.

"Belamis!!! Put me down!!! " Medora yelled.

Then suddenly Belamis rolled on the ground - as soon as Medora asked Belamis not to protect her, the collar round Belamis' neck tighten abruptly, and sent a shock of electromagnetic blast.

Belamis groaned and growled in pain.

Then a voice spoke to Medora, "You and Belamis must be together...."

Belamis breathed heavily, and looked at Medora, eyes full of compassion and love, and she shook her head gently and Medora. Belamis was trying to tell Medora never to stop Belamis from protecting her.

The people watched the giantess fought the monster so courageously, and were touched. They shouted in support of Belamis. Some picked up stones and threw at the monster.

"Look.... Belamis.... the people are supporting us..." Medora said.

Belamis stood up and leaped at the icy monster, delivering her flying kick at it.

Then Medora's body glowed, a surge of Galaxy Energy shot into Belamis body.

Belamis roared, and she created a energy ball, protecting Medora, and put Medora down behind a large rock where she would be safe.

Belamis charged the monster, and grabbed it. Then suddenly numerous icy spikes sprang out of the monster's body, and the sharp spikes poked deep into Belamis body. Belamis roared, and used her hand chops and broke the spikes, then she let out her strong energy blast as she glowed brightly, melting the monster - then turning it to steam!

The people cheered, and then the cold blizzard stopped, and their body were healed, as Medora's presence was restoring Galaxy Energy around the planet.

The icy spikes on Belamis'  body melted, but her wounds from the spikes were open and bleeding. Belamis fell onto the ground on her knees, and breathed heavily.

"Belamis!!!" Medora ran to Belamis and saw the bleeding body of her. Her nightmares were real, Belamis would indeed bleed all over in fighting the monsters.

Belamis looked at Medora, and uttered, "...OK...." Belamis tried to tell Medora that she's OK, but Medora knew that Belamis was not - Belamis was severely hurt all over her body, the burns from the cold was hurting badly.

The people saw giantess bleeding, and surrounded Belamis.

"How can we help her ?" One of them, an old man asked.

"I don't know..." Medora replied.

"We could collect herbs to help her..." The people said.

They worked together, collected herbs, in large quantities, which Belamis could crush with her hands and stuffed them at her wounds. These herbs could ease her pain.

Belamis and Medora stayed at the planet, and the people came by scores to help tending Belamis' wounds, laying herbs and other medications to help Belamis' wounds to heal.

Some children also came, and they looked at Belamis with curiosity.

"She is my friend....." Medora said to the children.

Belamis nodded. The children liked Belamis, and walked onto her palms.

"This giantess is like a goddess... so kind and gentle...and so strong..." The people remarked.

Then an old man, their priest added, "We have heard about legends of such giantess.....she was just like one of them... kind, brave, strong and also very beautiful...."

The people looked at Belamis with gratitude, Belamis nodded.

After a few days, Belamis' wounds healed, she again lifted up the Starry Princess, with Medora in it, and embarked on their journey ahead.

Medora looked at Belamis, and thought, "It was only the first encounter of a monster...and Belamis was hurt so severely...." She had more dreams..... and her eyes welled up in tears, as she anticipated more of such torments on Belamis.
