34. Observing the Moon Goddess
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Sybil and her father David were sitting up in the section of greenhouse that she was tending too. Many plants were turning more lively colors. Sybil had been working on the means to get through the barrier. David had been helping her tend to some of the plants. She invited him here to spend time with him and to talk to him. Sybil was a bit sad that over the past couple days she really had not seen Aries much at all. She understood though, while their border close to the keep was secure, areas farther down the mountain were suffering. He was out right now checking the protection one more time before the festivities started. Aries was very thorough that was for sure, a good thing for him to be. His people were lucky to have him as their Prime in her opinion.
“So, I don’t get to walk you down the aisle then?” David said as they were sitting on the wall there by the Ancestry tree. Sybil smiled a bit, they had

“You seem like you are avoiding the festivities.” Daral said as Aries walked down the hall with him. He’d been in and out quite a bit. He was letting his people rotate in and out of the festivities until the chase truly started. Aries shrugged. There was a lot of danger, he almost told everyone no. However they had managed to get the upper hand in the fighting the other day and pushed the demons back. Velex was getting more aggressive and Aries had a feeling this was just a distraction for whatever he was really doing.“Perhaps a little, but there is a lot to watch.” Aries had done his vigail like the rest. Giving a moment of respect and connection with their goddess. He felt good having a name this time, but a pain at not being able to do anything about it. That light presence oddly seemed more for a moment in his own head at one point. Like it was searching for somethi

Sybil watched from above the part that was a dance, as they called it. It was symbolic and beautiful to her. How the mates circled each other and then moved through the unmated. It was symbolic of their mating process and society. Knowing who was yours and moving through the obstacles to get them. Those that might stand in your way, those that might need you to show them. At least that was what Sybil saw and then how fast they could all move as they spread out into the woods. Her gaze though watched Aries down below. Her eyes tracked him as he moved back into the keep. Sybil let out a slow breath and knew that now was a good time. She had not seen him much of the night at all. Honestly she thought he was being kind of distant. She did enjoy the festivities, the food and drink but she'd also been watching for him. He’d spoken to her via mind a couple times when she asked him where he was. She also fi

Sybil felt this lightness in her chest and an odd joy. Maybe it was strange to see an adult woman running as she was. Whether it was inside or outside. However this wilder hidden part was the one that needed it. Enjoyed this free feeling as she ran. As she felt the one pursuing her and that he was getting closer. It was wonderful to have all your cares and worries stripped away for the moment.Coming to a rather slender portion of wall that had a hole in it, Sybil slid through. She turned feeling the brush of fingertips on her back. He sure was fast, and she didn’t say anything, just felt a slight laugh that she could not control and continued on through the room. She barely fit through that section of wall and he would not. He didn’t stop to say anything either, he was just gone. Sybil took off and ran going down a flight of stairs. This part she was not familiar with but she ran and sto
Mate of an Alpha Prime 38. One Step Ahead
Velex looked at the burning town from a distance. There was no smile on his face at the destruction. It had not gone the way that he wanted at all. The wolves had shown and added support to this place that had been fighting him hard. That extra edge had stopped them from taking the town and having a foot hold down below Aries and his keep. The fires were being put out and none of his demons or creatures were close to the town or a few others. This uptick in aggression and response by the wolves was a problem.Very obviously Jorogumo was dead for sure now. Her influence and infection of the keep had been flushed out. He’d been managing to get closer and closer to the mountains and the people that lived here. Now suddenly they were growing stronger again and it was a very serious problem for him. Once more it felt like he was hitting a wall rather than slowly creeping up on the enemy. Not only that but

“Wait, wait, wait!” Sybil nearly spilled the liquids she was working with as she sprinted around the table. Niba jumped at Sybil’s intense shout. Omniel also jumped from where she was helping with some of the gardening in here. She was more observing and a few others were also either observing or helping. Several men and women that were good at earth magic. Then a few others like Omniel. However today Sybil was trying to devote her time to working on getting through the barrier.“What?” Niba asked, alarmed as she was about to test what Sybil gave her.“Not on the barrier!” Sybil had asked Niba and a couple others to help her set up a very small scale barrier. It was not true dragon fire but close enough. It was on a stone table here in the garden only about a foot tall but had a heat barrier there. She neede

“I feel it most at quiet moments like this. I guess I’m not sure how I should feel or even be waiting for.” Sybil admitted to Aries when he asked about her wolf. If she was aware of it, or the change. He only knew what others told him. He had changed others, those that were mates but he still didn’t know what it was like to be born without this part and have it develop later.“You know it’s not so much a separate entity.” Aries tried to think of how to explain it. It seemed that most had an issue once they were close to the change. It felt like something else took control of your body and the mind would fight it. She needed to be prepared for that. It could be hard on your mind. There were those that had said in the past it really wasn’t bad at all for them. He hoped it was that way for Sybil.“What do
Mate of an Alpha Prime 41. Holding the Line
The smell of smoke was potent. Half the town was gone and creatures were trying to over take it. To kill the people living here. It wasn’t a full on march of creatures to mount a war attack. However it was pretty damn bad and they had to hold the line here or there would be no defense at the moment to stop creatures from coming up the mountain or to circle back around to other towns making them vulnerable. Or even up toward the keep.The tide was changing though and fast as Aries and his warriors flooded in. He only had twenty with him, but that was enough to start changing the direction of the fighting. Aries was a fast blur that slammed into the side of one strigo and took it to the ground. The creature didn’t even know what hit it, it was dead in seconds. A mutilated throat that it could not heal from. Claw marks that racked deep and tore open the chest. He didn’t stop, he was his guar

“I want this known, and I want it known now!” Aries shouted to those here. His message would be heard and he was at his final straw. At this rate they just might have to flee. Others needed to stand up and fight with him. “If they get up to the portals that is it! This line up the mountain is the last defense for us here to live. Me and mine have been up and down this entire range fighting and putting ourselves in great danger to keep the demons from getting the last portion of magic we have keeping us alive! What do any of you think will happen if he gets up the mountain? Velex will have direct access to our ley lines! No one will be alive after that. No one, our winters are longer, our flora and fauna are dying. The magic is leaving and all of us rely on it to stay alive.

“Are you sure Zekiel?” Aries asked looking back up the mountain. It was a long hard fight with the demon army over the past few months. Pushing them back across the land and farther south. A few other dragons had chosen to wake but the rest still wished to slumber. They were not interested in being awake when there were no mates known to be left. Or even where they were. None were sure now even were the mated dragons might be through the portals it was that long ago. ‘Yes.’ Came his deep voice. Aries stood out on a terrace that put him level with the dragon’s face. ‘We will remove the rocks and I will go through. He needs to be found Aries, and I want to do it. I want to see him dead for all he’s done. So do others including you. Velex will be found and he will be dealt w

Aries passed into the massive cavern that had the dullest blue glow in here. He saw the large sleeping forms but didn’t stop at any of them. He raced through searching for the one he needed, scenting for him. He felt like it was taking forever and yet barely a few minutes passed. Still he was starting to descend into panic the longer it took. The longer Sybil was being chased by Velex. He kept his mind open, feeling her, knowing she was still alive.As he came to the back he found the one he was looking for. A huge dark colored dragon. In the light it was hard to tell his color. Aries knew it was an iridescent black that would have a deep blue appearance in the right light. Though the color did not matter. Aries pretty much slammed into the side of the dragon. Then leapt up and over him before coming down hard on his head and just missed getting stuck by the shorter horns on the back of his hea

Sybil managed to get to the mage and she practically landed on him. She was starting to get her breath back. He gave a cry of pain as she landed on his fresh wounds. The nerve endings raw from the fire. She gripped the box with him. He tried to pull it away but was unable to as she was stronger. He looked at her with pleading eyes.“You don’t understand, my granddaughter. I have to.” Sybil felt his despair and yet in her heart she knew that one life now meant everyone’s life later.“We can’t, you know we can’t. She will die too.” She reasoned as his fingertips dug into the edge to open it.“I can’t. You’ll understand one day.” Sybil held on to the box and kept her gaze solid on his.“What

“Hey.” Sybil said looking up at Aries with warning. “Stop that, you can relax. I’d have thought having me for two days would calm you down.” Sybil stated looking up at him. Aries had slipped his hand into the cloak she wore. It moved under her shirt to slide along her skin. Sybil sure felt sore once the heat wore off, but she sure didn’t regret it. She definitely let him even after, still desiring him too.“If you are hoping I will get tired of you, you are going to be sorely disappointed.” Aries told her looking down at her. They were using a snow prin again to go up to the cave. They didn’t want to run and use up energy they might need. Sybil had to take a couple more days to fix the drink. Neither of them could afford to react like they had that first time. Whether her receptivity was responsible for it or not. All Sybil had to say was if she h

Aries was looking down at the large wooden table. On the surface of it was what looked like a burned in map. It was actually created with magic, so you could make the map shift. Expand or zoom in if you would. Still it was just lines and names. depictions of towns. They might not have computers like Sybil’s old home, but they had other things. He was looking at where Velex had paused his army. Aries had his own line above the bottleneck where Velex would have to march them through.“I think he’s going to rush them. The fastest will move through first. Then the slower but stronger will follow. So it’s the choice of which we let through to fight and who set the traps off for.” Daral said and a good number of his top warriors were in this room. Aries just stood with his arms crossed. This was going to get bloody.“We are g

“Okay.” Sybil said, looking at her one bowl and one jar. Now was finally a good time to test. She’d been side tracked a bit the past few days. Tika had gone into labor a bit early and Sybil had been asked to give aid. Tika had been in labor for nearly a full day before she gave birth. So it was helping to keep her comfortable and monitor her. Sybil took note of all that was used and happened. She wanted to know so she could see if there was anything she could do or make for the next to help at least with the pain.They did not have the kind of drugs that her home world did. Not that you were going to stop labor pains completely. It was different for everyone from what she heard. Lastly being part of it, Sybil saw just how much Tika’s child meant to the rest. The first birth in so long. He was healthy and strong. No adverse effect to the little one, and it just seemed to elevat

Aries was exhausted as he opened the door to Sybil’s room and went in. He closed it softly, the predawn light was barely there. It had taken longer than he wanted to get back. Still had to check in with a few others that were guarding and now he finally got to just lay down. He didn’t even question where he was going to go and rest either. He would go where she was. The moment he entered the room her scent just surrounded him.It was wonderful, and now mixed with the wild scent his people held. He could smell her animal there now and it called to him. It also made him feel giddy and relaxed at the same time. He moved around the bed and looked at her form. She was breathing evenly if not a bit deeply. He moved in sliding below the covers and immediately pulled her to him. Her back had been to him so it was easy.He was sore everywhere, an

“Sybil.” Tika said clearly uncomfortable and kept moving a lot. “Can you just give me something to make this kid come?” Sybil smiled at her as she was helping pack some of the foods away. Since the fighting had started several days ago, a lot of the warriors had been called down to lower parts. Duties had been shifted and she was helping in the kitchen today. Happy to help, she told Tika to sit as she kept leaning on things.“How about just some pain management instead? He’ll come when he’s ready.” Sybil stated. A couple others in the kitchen laughed a bit.“I feel for you Tika. I remember my last week carrying Tre, I was so done with it. Swear to the moon goddess he was kicking my spine or bladder all the time.” Helena stated and there were smiles.
