As Rey held Lucius's hand within the ethereal landscape of his consciousness, she felt a deep connection with him, sensing his emotions and memories. She spoke softly, "Lucius, we need to talk. While you were in this trance-like state, the Lycans sought to settle the conflict while you were incapacitated."

Lucius's brow furrowed as he tried to process the information. "What do you mean? What happened?"

Rey explained, "They offered a truce, a chance to end the fighting and negotiate a peace agreement. But the Alpha King and his guards were skeptical and didn't trust their intentions. The situation escalated, and the attempt at peace turned into a deadly confrontation. The Lycans unleashed their full force, and the Alpha King and his guards were overpowered."

Lucius's eyes widened with concern. "Is the Alpha King okay? And the guards?"

Rey hesitated for a moment before responding, "I don't know, Lucius. The battle outside is fierce, and we're cut off from the rest of the realm in here.

    As the intense duel between Lucius and Deucalion continued, Lucius began to gain the upper hand. Lucius was easily overpowering Deucalion, his moves and reaction rate seemed otherworldly. He was weaving through Deucalion’s attacks effortlessly and landing heavy blows on Deucalion.Seeing that the tide was turning in favor of Lucius, Baratheon, another powerful Lycan and a loyal follower of Deucalion, decided to intervene. He saw an opportunity to aid Deucalion in his fight against Lucius and took it.Baratheon lunged at Lucius from the side, catching him off guard and striking with incredible force. Lucius grunted in pain as Baratheon's claws raked across his side. Rey and Leina immediately rushed to Lucius's side, their protective instincts kicking in."You coward!" Rey shouted at Baratheon. "Attacking from the shadows won't save Deucalion. Your time of terrorizing this realm is over!"“Don’t interfere..”, Lucius said as he looked at Baratheon. “No one interferes"Lucius, despite the

    The exchange between Lucius and Baratheon was brief, almost too brief to even blink. It was almost like Lucius didn’t even move.“What was that?”, Cersei asked Rey. “He has won", Rey said. “I saw it all"Lucius scanned the battlefield and all the eyes that watched him. In a swift second, he had quickly overpowered Baratheon and impaled his heart.Breathing heavily, Lucius stood over Baratheon's fallen form. He had not wanted this outcome, but he knew that Baratheon's actions left him no choice.“Something is wrong with Lucius", Asher said to Rey. “he seems…..”Rey approached Lucius, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. "You did what you had to do to protect our realm and our pack," she said softly. "We understand."Leina nodded in agreement. "Baratheon made his choice, and he had to face the consequences. We must focus on the task ahead."As they spoke, Deucalion, who had been watching the battle unfold, summoned more dark beasts to the battlefield. These monstrous creatures emerg

    Lucius felt a pang of sadness in his heart, realizing how difficult it must have been for Cersei to let him grow up with no idea if she was alive or dead. It must have been a painful existence, being confined to the darkness of obscurity from her owns son's life."It was not your fault," Lucius said, holding her in his arms. "We all made sacrifices to protect our realm, we all fought for our survival. I know that you have lived a difficult life, but we can live to see each other again.""That is what I want", Cersei said, looking into her son's eyes. "I have found peace, but there are things that I wish I could do. There is one thing I wish I could do for you."Lucius knew what she was referring to, but he remained silent. "Let me tell you, when you were a child, you would ask me about your father. I had no answers for you, but perhaps now you will find peace about him."Lucius looked at her, his eyes brimming with tears. "Who was he?, I don't have any memories of him""I believe you

    Lucius opened his eyes and he saw Rey and Cersei looking at him. "I remember it all", he said, the memories rushing back to him. "I saw it all, but I couldn't do anything to save them." Rey ran to him and hugged him. "It was not your fault", she whispered in his ear. "None of us could have saved them." Cersei nodded in agreement, tears in her eyes as she looked at Lucius. "Now you know", she said softly. "I'm so sorry that I had to make you relive such a painful experience." "I know that this isn't what you want to hear, but thank you. It would have been better if I had no memory of that day", Lucius replied. "That's the thing about memories, they stay with you forever. Some days they are just there waiting for you to embrace them, and some days they are there waiting for you to ignore them", Cersei said. "The reason I needed to keep you alive is because you can't ignore the pain and suffering that Deucalion caused, but you can overcome it and heal the wounds of the past." "My m

    In the aftermath of the battle, the capital slowly began to repair itself. The streets were filled with the sound of hammers, the scent of fresh wood, and the sight of determined wolves working together to rebuild what had been destroyed. The Crimson Pack, along with the other packs, contributed their strength to the reconstruction efforts, united by a common goal to restore their home to its former glory. During this time, Lucius and his pack received a summons from the Alpha King to attend a council meeting at the Palace. The council chamber was a grand hall adorned with intricate carvings and tapestries representing the history of the realm. As the leaders of the packs gathered, there was an air of both tension and anticipation. Alpha Magnus and his pack, Rey, and the rest of the pack accompanied Lucius as they entered the council chamber. They took their place among the other Alphas, their presence a testament to the unity that had been forged during the recent battle. “There ar

    In a small town nestled deep within the dense forests, the Lycans led by Deucalion regrouped. The recent defeat at the capital had left them seething with anger and a thirst for vengeance. Hyperion was the last to arrive at Nivelm, Argon and Radon had already arrived and so had the surviving members of the Veiled serpents led by Jade. Hyperion was already suspicious of Deucalion but he was determined to play along for as long as it took till he understood what Deucalion truly after.Deucalion, his eyes ablaze with fury, addressed the gathered Lycans. "We may have suffered a setback, but we are far from defeated," he declared, his voice carrying a dark and sinister tone. "The Crimson Pack may have won this battle, but the war is far from over. We will show them the true power of the Lycans!"Jade stepped forward, her eyes flashing with a cunning intelligence. "Indeed, Deucalion," she said, her voice low and seductive. "But we must be strategic in our approach. The Crimson Pack has prove

    As the days passed, the tension within the Crimson Pack only grew, with each passing moment increasing the weight of the impending Lycan threat. Lucius, Rey, and their trusted advisors were left grappling with a difficult decision: should they trust Nyx's information and potential aid, or should they remain cautious and avoid falling into a trap?Cersei's warning about sinister magic and the realm of mischief added another layer of complexity to the situation. They were dealing with forces beyond their understanding, and any misstep could prove disastrous for the pack.Lucius called for a council meeting to discuss their next steps. The pack members gathered in a dimly lit chamber, their faces filled with a mix of determination and uncertainty. Cersei, Rey, Leina, Orion, Luna, and a few others sat in a circle, contemplating the potential consequences of their choices."I understand the risks involved," Lucius began, his voice steady but filled with concern. "But we can't ignore the pos

    After Asher stormed out of the meeting room, Luna followed him, trying to catch up with him. She couldn’t seem to find him and she trooped the vicinity to find him. She found him pacing in the courtyard, his anger palpable. She approached him cautiously, trying to find the right words to soothe his growing rage. "Ashe, please, you need to calm down," Luna implored gently, reaching out to touch his arm. "We can't let this division tear our pack apart. Trust in Lucius' judgment; he wants what's best for all of us." But Asher's frustration seemed unyielding. "I can't trust blindly, Luna," he spat, his eyes filled with mistrust. "This Nyx person just appeared out of nowhere, and now we're relying on them without knowing who they really are!" Luna sighed, understanding his concerns. "I know it's difficult, but we have to believe in our pack's strength. Lucius is handling this situation with caution, and Cersei is keeping a close watch on Nyx." Back in the meeting room, the remaining pac

    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

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 no no omega. I am an Alpha and one thing about an Alpha is that he always has his pack", Rey said as Luna charged in with a deop kick on Deucalion, he staggered back as he grunted in pain as Hyperion and Seraphina rushed in too. "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? A coward's move," he sneered, chains crackling as he prepared for another assault. "Or maybe this has always been

    "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 become the true reason that we have a fighting chance and you have made tjing such different for us. 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. Although she was still visibly confused and didn't quite accept."Then you shall lead us into battlefield", Seraphina said.Rey nodded and looked at the map, she decided to trust Seraphina's words.

    Jade looked at the Prince who had finally woken up from his sleep."Your highness, you are awake.Just in time for the grand finale. You are gonna be part of the climax to a two thousand year old story. Isn't that fantastic?", Jade said as she laughed.The prince looked around as he tried to process where he was. His vision was still a bit blurry and his head spun like he had a hangover."Don't worry about it, you have no idea where you are because enough have never been here. 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. "What is the status report Argon and his forces?""They have been thoroughly defeated and Argon is dead", Jade said non challantly."What did you just say?",Hyperion said as he tried to understand what Jade was saying.

    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.
