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
