"Now is the worst time for infighting," Lucius began, his gaze sweeping across the assembly of nobles and Alphas. "We stand on the precipice of a great conflict, a battle that will define the future of our realm. It is not a time for division or discord. It is a time for unity and strength.We have come a long way and so many people have sacrificed their life, so many people have placed their trust on the hope that in this moment we will set aside our differences and fight as one. Our predecessors all died with the hope that we will get this right. They all gladly lay down their lives because they believed, the saw from afar the possibility of what can be. They believed in us all even when we had no i

We must act swiftly and decisively to root them out."Lucius nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Ser Novas. The traitors pose a significant threat not only to our realm but to all of us here. We cannot allow their treachery to continue unchecked.But surely these can't be just mere allegations are they, you have proof and you have names.""Indeed we do...For days, we have been tracking the movements of every Alpha and nobleman in this room", Lucius said."You were what...", Hal Mer said."It was necessary, we had reason to do such", Lucius continued. "On whose orders....", Hal Mer sneered."On the orders of the crown and the Royal seal", The Queen replied. "We have reason to believe that some of you have been in league with the darkness so I charged Lucius with the task of fi ding out who it is"Magnus, who had been listening attentively, spoke up with a hint of an

As the two traitors, Alpha Nyx and Lord Randall, were led away from the council chamber, the atmosphere grew even heavier.

They were placed on their knees, their hands bound, and their heads lowered.As Lucius stepped forward to carry out the sentence, Alpha Nyx and Lord Randall, realizing the gravity of their situation, began to plead for mercy. Their voices quivered with fear and desperation as they begged for a chance to explain themselves."Please," Alpha Nyx implored, his eyes filled with remorse, "I know what I did was wrong, but I did it out of a misguided belief that I was protecting our kind. Spare me, and I will spend the rest of my days atoning for my sins."Lord

"They now have all they have to begin the Ritual for the convergence""How could this happen...Nevertheless, there is still time", Seraphina said."Yes there is, albeit a very small window", Hyperion replied. "You have to go the capital.You have to direct them at this point, they need to prevent Deucalion from proceeding with that ritual", Hyperion said."I know what must be done Hyperion...What about you?, what will you do?. This is all out war at this point and your choice will be undeniable", Seraphina said. "Yeah...We need to make sure that the allianc

Lycaon, his form oozing with the shadows that surrounded him, approached Deucalion with an air of sinister satisfaction. "Deucalion, your schemes are inconsequential. I've spent eons in the dark realms, and my powers have grown beyond your feeble comprehension."Deucalion, maintaining a facade of defiance, questioned, "What dark realms have you ventured into, and what did you see in the dark realm?""This world is but only a fraction of existence. There are realms of gods, demons, beasts and all sorts of monsters that defy your imagination. I have seen the truth of it all and I know that this is all a waste of time.", Lycaon replied. "Welcome back, we have eagerly awaited you", Deucalion said.Lycaon chuckled, a sound that echoed through the chamber. "Time, Deucalion, time has been my ally. In the void between realms, I tapped into the very essence of the shadows. The power that courses through me is ancient, unfathomable, and all-encompassing."As the truth of Lycaon's ascent to dar

"You need to stop Jade. We can't keep doing this. Please", Seraphina said to Jade."Please?Isn't it a bit too late for that? This is such a wrong time for this and here you are in my way again like old times. You relish these opportunities don't you?", Jade taunted. She was was so visibly taken over by the darkness that it distorted her face."I never stood in your way", Seraphina calmly replied. "YesYou can't stand in my way.

Rey and Deucalion battled on and Rey struggled on but Rey found herself loosing the duel. Deucalion used his chains to keep her away and she struggled to get in."You are no challenge to me, little one", Deucalion said. "You are way in above your head and you came alone""What do you think imthe fate of a lone wolf is?That omega that moves alone, what do you think it's fate is", Deucalion asked."That would be accurate, but haven't you heard?

"I am not alone", Rey said."You??An Alpha??, what sorcery is this?", Deucalion asked.Deucalion, seething with anger, turned his gaze toward Hyperion, his former ally. "Hyperion, you dare betray me?

"What do you mean by I am the leader now?", Rey asked."It is all about you, you are the key to all of this and you have become the alpha.

You have been the difference between the two sides", Lucius said.Rey tried protesting further as she looked around but she saw that everyone seemed to approve. "I can't lead, I am not a leader""But you have been subconsciously doing it, you have been leading for a long time now without realising it", Seraphina said."I don't know", Rey replied."Just accept it, we don't have much time for uncertainties. I will need you to trust me", Lucius said."I trust you", Rey replied.

As a matter of fact, you are very far from home. You are where it all ends and today shall mark the beginning of the end for the world as you know it", Jade said in a corny voice."Jade...Stop monologuing to the prince", Deucalion said.

Meanwhile Rey, Seraphina and Lucius made their way through the Iron Castle as they searched for the prince but to no avail. They went through several guards and still there were no important leads."Something is wrong", Hyperion said."How?, are we missing something?", Rey asked."Most likely, the castle isnr guarded enough. Are you saying that the prince isn't here?", Seraphina asked. "I'm saying that i doubt he was ever here to begin with, they wouldn't even perform the ritual here. The ritual will be done at world's edge", Hyperion said."Are you sure about this?", Seraphina asked. "It is the only place .....World's edge also happens to be the focal point in this realm during the convergence, it is the point where the main portal will appear and based on Legend, it is the only point with enough energy to pull something Into this realm", Hyperion replied. "Where is world's edge?", Rey asked visibly confused."It is an ancient structure. It was where Elara and Lucian sacrificed

"A hunch?'", Argon said. "You making fun of me?""No I really did follow my hunch because the force that awaited my company at the black sea was too small.They also didn't put up a proper resistance and it didn't help that their leader withdrew early from the battlefield. So I figured that the most plausible reason In such a case was that this location will become ground zero for a major conflict so I decided to mount the corpses of the dead and send them after Deucalion. By now Deucalion would have figured out that he got played and he would have realised that your forces are going to be decimated.", Lucius replied. "You are indeed full of surprises, I would never have imagined such an outcome to this battle. You both are truly impressive and have my commendation. ", Argon said."Well, I'm flattered but it is futile to thank me because you are already dead", Lucius said as he drew his sword."I won't go down easily", Argon said.

"So my question to you really is what kind of man are you?", Lucius asked."Well, there is only one way to find out Lucius. When I have to lay it all down then that is when I will have an answer", Magnus laughed. As he charged towards the incoming army, Magnus couldn't help but smile as he remembered his discussion with Lucius. He had always thought that Lucius was the mad and suicidal one and he never imagined himself making such a decision but now that he was In the moment, he didn't seem to mind. He felt an unusual feeling of Satisfaction. The two armies collided and the battle was intense, but the advance of Argon's forces was greatly slowed down by the presence of all the traps and trenches that the first company had laued down. Magnus's tactics was working well but the disparity in numbers was too great. The first company had a total force of twenty thousand men while Argons army had a force of nearly a hundred thousand. Slowly but steadily Argon's forces relentlessly threw t

Magnus and his company had arrived at the kesk region, it was a relatively poor area with a massive amount of humans and low bloods."What do you think?", Genos asked Magnus."We shall stay here until further notice. Lucius and his company should have already begun engaging the enemy or they would begin anytime soon. We should be ready in case we need to be backup.", Magnus said. "But something feels off""Most of the inhabitants in these regions have fled", Genos said. "No...Something else is wrong but I can't place my hands on it. Keep the company alert.", Magnus said. Magnus patrolled the area with Genos who was confused as to why Magnus was so worked up."What exactly are you looking for?", Genos asked curiously."This place...Everything about is wrong. What is west of this place?", Magnus asked."The Sleep mountains", Genos replied as he looked at the map. "It is extremely rocky and difficult to navigate""And the East?", Magnus asked again as he listened intently. "The Cas
