Argon crouched in the shadows of an alleyway just beyond the towering walls of the capital city. Clad in dark, hooded attire, he blended seamlessly with the dimly lit surroundings, his heart pounding in anticipation. Beside him was a mage from the veiled serpents, her robe concealing her identity, ready to lend her magical skills to the mission.

Argon's target was the Prince, the last remaining pure-blooded wolf in the capital, and the key to the Lycans' plans. The Royal Palace lay just beyond the city's main gate, a formidable structure guarded by the elite Royal Guards.

He knew that any harm done to the Prince would alert the Crimson Pack and potentially disrupt their grand strategy, the last thing he wanted was to face off the Crimson pack in the Castle.

    "Sound the Alarm", Daemon said to Magnus. "We must alert the city that there is an intruder""No...", Magnus said. "That will be counter productive.What do you think would happen if the masses learn that a Lycan was able to easily infiltrate the city?""I see your point. Then what shall we do? We must catch him!Lycans tend to be absurdly strong. Both of us won't be enough to handle him", Daemon said. "We need a plan and we need it fast...""What about the girl? Who was she?", Magnus asked."I think that she is a dark mage and she was accompanying the Lycan", Daemon said.The two men quickly rushed into the Royal chamber to make sure the Prince was okay. They increased the amount of guards around the Royal family and went straight to Lucius' chambers."Magnus, Daemon, is something wrong?", Lucius asked."A Lycan was able to easily break in here! And there was a female mage who accompanied him", Daemon said."What?! How did a Lycan get here?", Lucius asked."It doesn't matter. Right no

    In the days following the Lycan intrusion into the Royal Palace, Rey's discreet investigation into the various wolf packs within the capital began. She knew that time was of the essence, and any shred of information, no matter how small, could be the key to unraveling the mystery of the rogue pack that had aided the Lycans.Rey spent her days with an air of casual normalcy, making appearances at pack gatherings, observing pack leaders and their interactions, and subtly questioning pack members. Her unassuming demeanor hid her true intentions. Her silver eyes, however, never missed a detail, and her sharp mind carefully cataloged any peculiarities or anomalies in behavior.She started with the larger and more influential packs, knowing that if the rogue pack had indeed infiltrated the capital, it would likely have come from a significant one.

    "The Lycans infiltrated the capital"?, The Queen asked Rey."Yes, my lady", Rey replied. "We think that they may be after your son""Why?What do they want with Jeremy?", the Queen asked. She was obviously in distress."We aren't fully sure but it has something to do with the ritual of the convergence", Rey replied.The Queen had a look of shock and awe on her face. "What ritual?", she asked."We believe that they want to use Jeremy to harness certain powers. They want to bring something into our world from another world, my lady", Rey said. "We don't have enough details of the ritual or how it works but we know that it has been mentioned in the most ancient texts we have""I need you to keep my son safe, no matter what...He has to be kept safe from harm. I promised King Eulodis that I will keep our children safe and far away from any of this", the Queen begged.Rey met the Queen's gaze with unwavering determination. "I understand, my lady.

    Seraphina sighed as Jade vanished into the shadows. She was really sad and confused but she had successfully concealed her emotions from Jade.

It was his dying wish bit since his death, Jade has been distant since then.

    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 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?

    "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.

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.

As a matter of fact, you are very far from home.

    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.

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.

    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.
