Modi touched Lucas on the shoulder and facing the crowd, he began. “This is Lucas, the prince of the night. Many of you may know him in person, he has been the protector of the Western aisles for centuries. He has held the territory together in peace. He has fought many wars and has protected other territories from harm.”
The crowd listened in silence, nodding in agreement as he spoke.
“I am sure that he will do the same for us while I am away.”
Lucas gazed at him calmly.
“I don’t know what will happen to me when I get there.” Modi continued ignoring his stare. “I may even be dead… but I know that I have placed you in good hands.”
“Modi…” Lucas made to speak.
“So you will all do as he says.” Modi continued, ignoring him. he gazed around and noticed that his luna was nowhere to be found. He knew that she was upset and probably did not want to be a part
May picked up her bag and approached him slowly. “Goodbye, my love.” She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a wild goodbye kiss.Modi did not respond. He was too upset to respond. She noticed it and stopped. “Please support me, honey. I want the best for everyone and especially for you. I don’t know where I’m going right now and I do love the idea of Lucas sneaking everyone out but I can’t be here doing nothing.” She paused to study his expressions.Modi watched her calmly. He said nothing but his face was saddened and she noticed it.“I have been a warrior all my life and that is who I am. I just can’t sit back and watch things fall apart before my eyes.” She continued. “If you have decided to surrender, then I must seek help. Don’t try to stop me, baby. I will return with help and back into your arms once this whole saga is over.” She gave him a pack on the cheek and walk
Lyono ran for days. He passed through the outlands and survived the harsh life to the border where he almost approached the world of the originals. He got to a nearby forest and made to take a break since it was just a few hours’ walk into town. So, he set his tent there to sleep for the night.May was close by. She had been watching him from the outlands. May was a fast runner. She got to the outlands in a day and was lucky to find Lyono striving for survival. She did not want him to see her as she wondered what he was looking for in the outlands. She followed closely to know where he was heading.She waited for him to fall asleep then she crept into his tent and made for his bag of food. Immediately he grabbed her by the arm. She gasped as she did not expect that he would catch her.“Who are you and why have been following me?” his eyes shone and his voice was almost a roar. He could sense that the culprit was of his kind so he was not afraid
Lucas had sent his minions to spy on the Southern aisles. He was worried about Modi and wanted to know how he was being treated.Flint did not look too happy. Not because of Modi’s maltreatment but because the priest seemed to have forgotten to keep his own side of the bargain.The priest was excited about settling in the Southern aisles because he had all his magic there. He had his bowl of clouds again except that this time, it was almost damaged. He had been torturing Modi to reveal all the plans he had made with Lucas but all to no avail.Flint approached the priest’s lair to find him in his conjuring room, performing some magic in there.“What do you want, Flint?” the priest asked still concentrating on what he was doing.“We need to talk.” Flint wore a serious look.“What’s going on?” the priest continued his conjuring. “We are getting close to victory; don’t ruin it wit
May and Lyono spent more time in the forest since they had no place to stay and the forest was an easy place for them to be free to express themselves as werewolves when they are sure that no one is watching.Werewolves had the talent for learning really fast and May was not different. She learned everything Lyono taught her about the world of the originals and how she could blend in as one of them.May did the hunting while Lyono would prepare the meal. They soon suddenly started enjoying the forest until they were warned by park rangers to return to their homes or face the law. They had to move to another forest a bit far from the one they lived in and made their home.They sat the fire that night in silence when suddenly there was a whoosh of wind that blew off the fire. The atmosphere suddenly became cold and they made to head into their tent when a soft sonorous voice called out to them sweetly.My children…. Come closer.” It was the Moo
“Thank you so much, Claire for bailing us out of there and for inviting us to this lovely house.” Lyono appreciated her while admiring the place.Claire was trying to study him. she smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. “It’s no bother. I was the one that got you guys arrested in the first place so it’s only logical that I got you out.” She wondered why Lyono’s face was covered in so much hair. She could barely see his face to get what he looked like.May was excited to meet Collen. She sat with Collen at a corner talking and catching up while Lyono and Claire chatted about other things.“Wow! Look at you, Raul. You’ve changed so much. What happened to the fierce and fiery Raul I used to know?” May was amazed.Raul smiled. He was equally happy to see her. “It has been so many years.”“Yeah…”“And we have both changed so much,” Raul admitted.
Back in the mainlands, Flint had made a decree that prevents anyone from leaving the walls of the East wing. It was followed by punishment of death on sight for anyone who violates the law.This made it difficult for the young werewolf and his friends who wished to seek asylum in the Western aisles to move out. There was a curfew that lasted for twelve hours beginning from 6 pm after working hours that allowed citizens to go about their daily businesses.Every day, the young werewolf would gather his friends in his house before the curfew began to strategize on a plan to sneak out of the city. They were about ten of them, all young werewolves between the ages of twenty-one to twenty-five. They served in the palace before they were replaced with the human slaves turned werewolves.These young werewolves comprised of four females and six males. The mastermind amongst them was called Yutti. He used to serve as Flint’s assistant butler where his father was the
The three young werewolves got out of their disguise on arriving at their hideout to the surprised faces of their friends.“What happened?” they chorused in awe.“There is a change in the law.” One of them explained as he undressed himself to get into his own clothes.“There will be a general hunt day on Wednesdays from now on, says the soldier.” Another explained.“There will be monitoring going on in case anyone tries to escape.” The third male concluded.“They know of some escape plans but they do not know who the traitors are.” One of them added.“Oh no! that’s not good.” Yutti sat in disarray on the couch.“It’s not over.” Muna cut in from the corner where she sat.They all turned to listen to her as usual.“This is actually a good chance for all of us to make our escape at the same time.” She explained.
Raul invited May and Lyono to Tom’s place for a formal introduction. Heather was not home this time. She had traveled to spend some time with the boys so Tom was home alone. Though Ella visited often to check up on him and this day, they were both home and waiting for Raul and his friends to arrive.Ella was not much of a cook so they had ordered food for dinner. May and Lyono were going to have their first-ever feast of the human food in the human world. They sat at the table, ready to eat when Lyono displayed a very funny attitude by gulping his food really quickly. He spared no effort in gulping his food not caring whether or not he was watched or laughed at by his friends. All he wanted was to enjoy the meal in front of him.“You never had Chinese food before?” Ella teased.“No ma’am… this is good,” Lyono replied with his mouth full.“Unfortunately Ella, we do not have Chinese foods in the mainlands; wh
Raul could not contain his surprise at what the soldier was telling him. He really did want to grant the soldier his wish but he also wanted to go to the city to meet with the scientist. “So what are you saying now? That you won’t take me to the scientist?” Raul wanted to be clear. At this, the soldier tried to get on his feet. Raul watched him in silence. Then the soldier saluted him and recited. “You are the president we know, Raul. I am at your service. My men and I swear our allegiance to you from this moment on. All I am asking sir is that you let us serve you.” Raul sighed in satisfaction and turned to face the others who smiled back at him. He could see the sincerity and determination in his eyes then he said to him. “At ease.” The soldier managed to stand at ease with his hands behind his back. Raul said with a wide smile. “You and your brothers and family are welcome to live here with me but as free people and not a servant. You will
“I told you he was shady.” Lucas reminded Raul of his words.Raul said nothing but approached Salman and said out loud.“Hey!” he called him.Salman gazed at him in silence.“I am Raul and I am your opponent in this fight. You will not harm any of my friends today coz today is the day you die.” Raul said in confidence.Salman laughed out loud and replied. “You, kill me? I hope to see the day.”“And today will be the day,” Raul concluded with a roar as he transformed.Salman and the others were wowed because Raul seemed different. Danny had promised to combine some of his powers with Raul’s so he would win the war and defeat his enemies. So when Raul transformed, he looked like a divine being, and even Salman was shaken by the view.“What is this?” Salman asked in awe.“I am the one they call the prince in the night.” the voice sound
The president gasped in fear and the scientist could hear his gasps of fear. He laughed and continued.“Meet my son, Salman. He was my first successful werewolf creation. He is programmed to destroy and eat anything that crosses his path. His hunger is never fully quenched so be sure not to cross his path because even you will be torn to pieces.”“You will pay for this.” The president yelled.“Farewell, Mr. President. I’ll see you in hell.” The scientist cut the call.The president watched as Salman began to tear his soldiers apart because they were shooting at it. Raul and his men just stood still. Raul realized that it was not the werewolf god after all and he was careful not to stand in its way. He watched the creature tear them to pieces and some it ate. “Don’t shoot at him.” The president instructed his men.The soldiers stopped and Salman paused to see who he would eat
Not long after Lucas joined in the fight seeing that his colleagues were losing to Thomas I; the president’s helicopter landed in the middle of the field and he came down to taunt them.“Who leads this great country?” he asked after taking a long look at the werewolves in their werewolf forms. Thomas, I walked majestically to stand behind him as he spoke to protect him from any harm.The werewolves were silent for a while. They did not say anything in response to the president’s question. They were surprised to see him as some of them had never seen him before.“I ask again; who is the leader here?”There was silence for a while and then Raul came forward and spoke up in his werewolf form. “I am.”The president gazed at him and said. “Please approach me in a more palatable form. I know you guys have two forms so I’d rather you address me in your other form please.”Raul did no
Everyone turned to gaze at Lucas who stood watching them and wondering what was going on.“Why are you all staring at me like that?” Lucas asked.Everyone was dumbfounded. Lucas saw Kara lying lifeless and soaked in blood in the governor’s arms. He rushed towards him and carried her from the governor’s arms sobbing.“What happened to her?” he yelled between sobs.“S-she was hit and died from the wounds.” The governor replied between sobs as he stepped back to allow Lucas access to his sister.“What!?” Lucas did not quite understand. He did not realize that there was a war going on while he was asleep for months.“You have been in a coma for months.” The witch explained.“What?” Lucas was confused. “Comma?”“Yes, you too were hit by the war tank when the priest was still fighting against us,” Raul explained.At this
Hayley watched from the rooftop with her sister as the war went on outside the city gates on the fields between the Southern aisles and the Western aisles.Kara saw how worried her sister was. she approached her and hugged her from behind. “You seem worried. You need to rest.”Hayley sighed and replied. “It’s not the war I’m afraid of. It’s what I’ve seen just now that frightens me.”At this, Kara was interested. She stood in front of Hayley and asked. “What; you saw another vision?”“Yes. I did.” Hayley replied.“Tell me sister; what did you see?” Kara was anxious. She hoped that it would be good news that could revert her death.“I saw another creature coming to the mainlands. This one is meant to wipe everyone out including the president’s soldiers.”At this Kara was speechless.“I saw death across this field and I can
The president sat in his office watching from a large screen as the soldiers and the clones invaded the mainlands. The scientist had connected his system to the screen to enable the president a clearer view of what was going on.The scientist had inserted chips on all the clones so they could monitor and view their movement as well as pass information to them when necessary. The president was amazed by the development. He was even more amazed at the size of the mainlands. He never expected it to be this huge. He had always thought that the mainlands was a forest filled with wild animals. He was amazed to see that it was a developed little village.“This place is a wonder.” The president exclaimed. “It is good for us to make it a dumping ground for all our experiments.”The scientist gazed at him briskly but said nothing.Then the president asked. “I don’t see Thomas I. where is he?”“Oh, he’s go
The priest was expecting them as he had already listened to them through his bowl of clouds. He knew that the clones were trouble but he needed them as allies in fulfilling his quest so he devised a plan really quick to fight alongside Raul and his friends to secure the mainlands and defeat the president while he would search for means to gain access and control of the clones.He was certain that someone was controlling the clones and he was determined to find out who it was controlling them using his alliance with Raul and his friends to get information. Soon, Modi arrived and the priest asked the servant to let them in which he did.Modi stood at the entrance of the priest’s lair in silence. The priest still stood over his bowl of clouds looking inside and ignoring Modi’s presence.“I can smell you, Modi. I know why you have come. I saw and heard it all.” The priest began without gazing at him.“Good!” Modi remarked k
The scientist was watching from his system where he was monitoring the clone. He observed that it had somehow lost its signal and knew that it was dead. He turned to face the president who was anxiously gazing at him for positive answers.“We have lost him, sir.” The scientist confessed.“Hmm…” the president sighed. He went to take a seat and continued. “But I thought you said that it could not be defeated.”“Yes but it’s still vulnerable to die especially if burned as I suspect it was.” the scientist defended himself.The president was silent for a while and said nothing. Then he caressed his chin and asked. “Where is the first project anyway?”“He has been stored away safely and used to clone the others.” The scientist responded.“Bring him in. he should lead the others…” the president ordered but was cut short by the scientist.&
