Rey and Seraphina walked along the pathway that led to the great oak.”Where are we going?”, Rey asked Curiously. She still had no idea why Seraphina had requested that she stayed behind while the rest of the pack left for the capital.”To the great Oak”, Seraphina replied.”What am I missing?, I am sure that I have been there before”, Rey said.”Of course you have. The Oak itself serves as a conduit for channeling nature’s energy and hence is the best place for me to teach you”, Seraphina replied.”Huh... Teach me what?”, Rey asked.”Something happened to you while you were on your way to the Temple. Something that none of you spoke of. Almost like you are trying to ignore the fact that it actually happened”,, Seraphina said as she turned and faced Rey.”I lost control, I got so angry but I am fine now. Haven’t lost my cool since then and I’m generally in control of my emotions”, Rey replied.”I see”, Seraphina said as she turned and kept walking.Rey wondered how Seraphina had found
As Rey drifted deeper into unconsciousness, the world around her transformed into a whirlwind of fragmented images and sensations. Flashes of her past flickered before her eyes, fleeting memories that had been concealed deep within her subconscious.She saw herself as a child, laughing and playing with Luna in a sunlit meadow. The warmth of her mother's smile enveloped her, and Rey felt a surge of love and tenderness. Her heart ached with bittersweet nostalgia as the memory faded into darkness.Suddenly, Rey found herself in an ethereal room bathed in soft, golden light. At the center of the room stood her mother, Sonia, a radiant figure filled with love and grace. Luna lay peacefully asleep nearby, unaware of the mystical encounter taking place.Tears welled up in Rey's eyes as she realized the significance of this moment. Sonia's presence brought a mixture of emotions—joy, longing, and a profound sense of loss. She longed to reach out and embrace her mother, to feel her warmth once
Rey opened drifted away from her memories as she slowly regained sensation and Awareness of the real world returned. She slowly drifted back into consciousness as her body came afloat on the river.”What did you see?”, Seraphina asked.”I saw my mother, she was speaking to before she begun the ritual and I saw the markings she used”, Rey replied.”That isn’t enough Rey”, Seraphina replied. “Think carefully, what else do you remember?””Nothing else”, Rey said as she tried to recall anything.”Think carefully Rey!, what else could did you miss?”, Seraphina said.Rey paused as she looked at her reflection on the water trying to recall. She begun having flashbacks as all the memories of everything swarmed into her mind.”What do you see now?”, Seraphina asked.”I see it all. I know how she sealed it off and I know how to unseal it”, Rey said.”Good job”, Seraphina commented.”But.., but, what is this? Mother was terrified of it and now that I think of it you seemed wary of this ‘alter eg
Rey stood in the center of the small house nestled within the Great Oak, her heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. Seraphina, her wise mentor, prepared the materials and markings needed for the ritual to unbind Rey's powers. The room was filled with an array of herbs, crystals, and intricate symbols.As Seraphina meticulously arranged the components, Rey couldn't help but feel a surge of uncertainty. The prospect of facing her alter ego, an angry and spiteful version of herself, loomed over her. It was a battle not only against external forces but also against her own inner demons."Are you ready, Rey?" Seraphina asked, her eyes filled with a mix of concern and determination.Rey took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts. "I am. I have to be," she replied, her voice laced with determination. "I can't let fear control me."Seraphina nodded approvingly. "Remember, this battle is not just about physical strength. It is a confrontation of the mind. Your alter
Rey's heart sank as her alter ego's words penetrated her core. Despair wrapped its icy tendrils around her, choking her determination and sowing doubt within her mind. She struggled to comprehend the truth behind the alter ego's claims."What do you mean I've been in despair?" Rey asked, her voice trembling with a mixture of confusion and fear.The alter ego stepped forward, a twisted smile playing on its lips. "You hide it well, don't you, Rey? Behind your strength and resilience, there lies a deep well of despair. It has been eating away at you, whispering doubts and fears that you try so hard to ignore."Rey's mind raced, memories of moments when doubt had clouded her judgment and moments of overwhelming sadness flooded back. She had pushed those feelings aside, burying them deep within herself in her quest to protect others and maintain her image of strength."No," Rey whispered, tears welling in her eyes. "I can't accept that. I won't let despair define me."The alter ego chuckle
“The alter ego faded away into darkness and what followed was a tranquility and silence that made Rey sigh in relief. She could tell that it wasn’t over but the moment of respite was more than enough for Rey to catch a much needed break. As she slowly begun to walk through the endless darkness, she begun to ask herself what the alter ego was up to.”You...you are the harbinger of Destruction”, called out a voice from the distance. “All you are is all I am. All I am is destruction and that is my destiny. Our destiny and why we live”The later ego re emerged from the darkness but this time it looked different, it was nothing like Rey. It’s hair was pale white and so was its skin. It had deep black eyes that seemed to extend to a bottomless void.”What are you?”, Rey asked as she gazed upon the face of the figure before her. Her question was met with a distorted and prolonged laughter from the figure. Rey patiently waited for her response.”You still think that I am something else that
Rey stood before the child, her heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. The child's innocent gaze held a hint of mischief and wisdom beyond their years. It was as if they were a gatekeeper, the key to unlocking the mysteries that lay within the enigmatic mansion."Yes, I am the master of this house," the child replied, their voice carrying an otherworldly resonance. "But I am more than what meets the eye. I am the embodiment of your desires, the cravings that fuel your spirit."Rey's mind raced as she contemplated the child's words. Desire, a force that had both motivated and tormented her throughout her journey. She knew the danger of succumbing to unchecked desires, but she also recognized the power they held. Deep down, she yearned for a life of love, fulfillment, and purpose.The child's form began to shift, morphing into a captivating figure draped in flowing garments of vibrant hues. They emanated an aura of seduction, drawing Rey closer with every step. The a
Rey stood in the realm of infinite possibilities, the air tingled with energy, and a sense of awe and uncertainty filled her heart. She had unlocked her true potential, but the journey was far from over. The responsibility of harnessing and mastering her newfound powers weighed heavily on her.She faxed upon the enchanted waters of the lake of Silverwood as the silhouette of someone appeared from the shadows behind her. Rey turned and upon seeing the face of Seraphina she sighed. "Rey," Seraphina's voice resonated with a soothing melody, "I have been awaiting this moment for 2 thousand years. It is time to learn the art of manifestation and understand the delicate balance between magic and nature."Rey felt chills run down her spine as she listened to Seraphina, this was her moment. she nodded at Seraphina's words, her eagerness to learn evident. She had felt the raw surge of power within her, but she yearned for guidance and control. She knew that unleashing her abilities without un
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. I have always been more powerful than you and you can't do anything about that. You can't stop me!!!!!I am stronger than you and I will kill you", Jade said."When did we come to this?We used to be a whole", Seraphina said as she brought out her pendant. "Deep down we never stopped being a whole"Jade looked at the Pendant and she paused, she remembered Jade, in a momentary lapse of the darkness that consumed her, looked at the pendant that Seraphina held aloft. The memories of their shared past, of a time when their father, Herod, had given them identical
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. She decided to let go of everything. All her worries and all her doubts
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. "Argon was killed in battle?.That is impossible", Hyperion r
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. "You may be part Lycan but you will need more than t
"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
