Emerald decided to go home after an hour. Instead of using ivictus (power to go to other places), she walked on the road slowly. Her mind was still full of thoughts about the Oracle's vision.
After a minute of walking, Emerald crossed to the other side of the road. There was a mini park on it. She sits for a while on the wooden bench under an oak tree. She finds the place beautiful. Then, after an hour she continued to walk again.
When Emerald was in the middle of the park, she noticed that someone was following her. She act naturally as if she didn't notice it but was alerted. She sensed that it was a group of rogues. She continued walking, then one of the rogues start to attack her.
Emerald flips her finger to summon her elemental energy (in water form) to fight against the attacking rogue.
"Who summons you?" Emerald asked the attacking rogue. But it didn't answer.
"What do you want?" Still, no answer coming from the rogue.
The other rogue started to attack also. Emerald continued to fight against them. Until only one left.
"Tell me, who summons you?"
"No one."
"Who summons you?" Emerald asked again.
"I already told you that no one does." The rogue said.
"Hey, I'll tell you who he is if you spare me." The other rogue said while gasping for some air due to the elemental energy wrapped around its body.
"Sure. I'll spare you." Emerald said. "Deal?"
"Yes. Yes." The rogue excitedly said.
Emerald started to loosen the elemental energy that wrapped around the rogue body. But the moment it was loosened the rogue immediately attack Emerald. It was a trick. Emerald got injured. Her left arm got wounded.
"Ha-ha-ha." The rogue laughed. "You are a fool." Emerald was about to attack when suddenly the rogue head fall to the ground.
"Who the hell..." The other rogue said.
A huge black werewolf came in front of them. Its obsidian eyes are full of anger, while its aura imposed authority. Its canine dig down the body of the rogue angrily. While its comrades attacked the other left rogue.
Emerald who was leaning on the tree just watched the entire fight. Her wounded left arm was now healed.
"Mate..." Morris said.
"Mate...mate is here." Amara excitedly said. "And he is walking towards us."
The black werewolf slowly walks toward Emerald. "Mate..." But, then Emerald suddenly vanished.
"She vanished again." Morris sadly said."Yeah.""But I'm hoping that we can finally meet her again on the night of the pack run," Morris whispered."I'm hoping too, Morris." Alpha Marcus replied.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxOn the mansion of Lord Vermont at the top of Ceres Mountain..."What did you say?""Someone from our allies in West City saw the Oracle go to the Blue-Eyed Pack.""What did he do there?""According to them, the Oracle met Alpha Marcus.""Why all of sudden?""That's what I'm thinking too, My Lord. So I ordered them to investigate more on this matter and have us inform right away if they find out anything.""Good. You may go now."Lord Vermont is a pure vampire from the Roscka Ancestry of Fall City. He was known for being a merciless, dangerous, and heartless kind of vampire. He's been ruling the entire Fall City for decades.Roscka and Ruvia were said to be rivals in the Human Realm due to mafia affairs and in the Demon Realm.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThree days passed.
On the top of the mountain..."How were the new shifters?" Alpha Marcus asked Beta Miguel."They're fine, Alpha." Beta Miguel answered. "Nothing to worry about.""Good." Alpha Marcus said. He mind-linked the Gamma and instructed it to watch the new shifters for a while."Let's go, Beta."'Where are we going?""Just follow my lead." Alpha Marcus said.The two werewolves went to the other side of the mountain. They passed through the shady forest. Then, after five minutes, a pleasing scenery showed right in front of them.A lovely lagoon. The water on it was crystal-cleared. There were plentiful fireflies flying around. As the wind blows, the scent of honeysuckles filled the air. These plants were grown around the lagoon. The light coming from the full moon was giving the whole place pleasant scenery. It was mesmerizing."This place was??""The sacred lagoon.""Wow...I can't believe it," Beta Miguel said. "I thought it was just an old-time story.""Likewise. But it's true.""How did you
"Alpha...Beta..." "What's the matter, Gamma?" Alpha Marcus asked. "Alpha, you need to see this." Gamma Chris answered. "What is it?" Gamma Chris instructed a warrior to get what he was talking about. A black cloth filled with something was placed in front of Alpha Marcus. Gamma Chris opened it. It was a corpse. A human corpse. "Where did get it?" Beta Miguel asked. "We've accidentally seen this corpse near a cave on the south side of the mountain." Gamma Chris said. "I got curious upon seeing it. But right now, what's bothering me was how this human died." "Why? Did you find some flaws in it?" Alpha Marcus asked. "Yes, Alpha." Gamma Chris answered. "I find it a little strange. The corpse's body was all intact except these unique markings and this mark on her neck." "That mark on her neck?" Beta Miguel pointed his index finger at the corpse's neck. "Is it a mate mark?" "I don't think so, Beta." Gamma Chris answered. "That's a vampire's bite." Alpha Marcus declared which start
"Owooooo...Owooooo..." Morris growl. "Everyone, let's go back to the pack house immediately." Alpha Marcus mind-linked everyone. The Alpha and the other pack warriors guided the numerous new shifters back to the pack house. But on their way there, something happened. One of the new shifters suddenly began to whimper. Then, it fell down on the ground and continuously whimpered. A pack warrior immediately approached the new shifter. "What happened to you?" The warrior mind-linked the new shifter. "I don't know. But my head hurts so much." The new shifter answered and continued whimpering. "What happened to him?" Alpha Marcus mind-linked the warrior. He hurriedly asked Morris to run closer when he sensed that something had happened behind them. "Alpha, my head hurts so much." The new shifter mind-linked Alpha Marcus and then whimpered. "I don't know what's happening to me." After saying that, the new shifter held its breath and collapsed. "Luis, take back all the new shifters to
On the sacred lagoon... Emerald stopped swimming. Yessa who also swimming noticed it. "What's the matter, Your Grace." "I sensed something wrong." Emerald started to get dressed. Yessa also followed her. "I need to figure out what it is..." "I'll go with you, Your Grace." Emerald nodded. Emerald immediately sensed where its location. Then, she used ivictus to go there with Yessa. "Shh...shh..." Emerald said to Yessa. Then, she blocked their elemental energy to prevent others from sensing it. Emerald hid behind an oak tree. Then, ten steps from there, she saw a coven of vampires and a group of werewolves fighting. "What's happening, Your Grace?" Yessa asked. "I also don't know. We need to observe first." "Look, Your Grace," Yessa said. "That's the werewolf from the other day." "Yeah, I also noticed it." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Both parties continued fighting - werewolves versus vampires. No one dares to surrender. "I'll never allow anyone from you to hurt my pack," Morris
"I thought all of you learned from your wrongdoings," Emerald said. "But it seems not. I'm now having a second thoughts about whether to punish all of you alive or to vanish all of you at once." "We don't care on what you're talking about. All we know was that we are all summoned here to fight against the Blue-Eyed Pack." One of the vampires said. "Enough of that. Now, I already understood the whole situation." Emerald seriously said. "By the power of water element vested on me, I summoned you to clear the mind, body, and spirit of everyone here." Emerald chant. Then, she made ball-shaped elemental energy and throw it high into the air. After a few seconds, it started to rain. "All of you will be cleansed." The negative energy possessed by everyone started to vanish. When the rain stopped, both the vampires and werewolves felt something change in them. They all felt different. "You!" Emerald said to one of the vampires. "Take your Lord with you when you leave. And have him repent."
"Emerald...Emerald...Emerald..." Emerald opened her eyes when she heard someone calling her name. She saw an alluring lady sitting next to her. Its long wavy hair was like dancing in the air. She was wearing a long pure white dress. She was really an enchantress. She was Selene, the Moon Goddess. "Moon Goddess..." "My niece, I'm glad that I saw you, today." "Same as mine, Aunt Selene." "Time flies fast. You were so little back then but now..." Selene looked at Emerald. "You're really a grown-up. I do remember that you used to be my little student before." Selene smiled while reminiscing about the past. "Correction, Aunt Selene. I'm your little naughty student." Emerald laughed so as the Moon Goddess. After that, a moment of silence passed by. "I know you have too many questions to asked on me." Selene said." But please put your trust in me. What the prophecy stated about you and your mate was meant to happen. There may be obstacles on the way but by being together, you two can
"How are you feelin', Your Grace?" Yessa immediately asked Emerald. "I'm fine, Yessa." Emerald smiled while answering. "By the way, mate. We didn't introduce ourselves yet." Alpha Marcus said. "I'm Marcus. Marcus Ruvia. Alpha of the Blue-Eyed Pack. This is Beta Miguel. And my sister, Madison. She's our pack doctor." "Nice meeting you, sister-in-law," Madison said then she embrace Emerald. "Nice meeting you all, too," Emerald said. "I'm Emerald Scott. Half-werewolf and half-water spirit. And this is Yessa, my assistant." "Let's go, Emmie." Madison held Emerald's hand. "Can I call you that?" "Yes," Emerald answered. "Hey! Maddie. Where did the two of you go?" Beta Miguel asked. "We're going to the kitchen," Madison whispered to Emerald. "Mom was there and she's making veggie soup. That was superb." The two hurriedly go to the kitchen. When they arrived at the kitchen, Emerald saw a beautiful, middle-aged woman who was busy cooking. "Mom, here we are," Madison said. "Emerald wa
