2024-10-29 19:42:56Sybil drove her car rather fast back home. She had a feeling that she wasn’t going to have much time until someone showed or realized she was gone. She was transparent now as the potion wore off. She was glad that it was late so she didn’t run into anyone and they freaked out thinking she was a ghost.
Nearly running into her apartment she dropped her bag. Sybil shoved all the dishes out of the way and they crashed into the sink. She then started to grab clean ones and got things prepped. It was time to work and she set to heating water and various other liquids that she was going to need. Now she had enough to make for everyone in the hospital. How good she felt that she was going to help them all. Her father was not going to succumb to this sickness.
“Alright, I can do this.” She said with a nod making sure her hair was held back.

“I said that I’d answer for what I did, but I was going to give this cure first. If it were your people you’d do it too.” She said and she’d meant that on both parts. She felt she could guess his character pretty well. He seemed rather loyal, clearly had respect of those he was in charge of from what she saw. His hand was still on the box, holding it in place. She thought about just pulling it away from him but was afraid she’d break a vile or something. “If I don’t let you take this to them?” He asked with no real tone. “You took things from the stores you were allowed to use. We said you could make what you needed, but then you abused that privilege. Took from us.” He stated and she paled a bit. She was feeling sick all of a sudden. It was from nerves. Sybil was not the confrontation type. Didn’t mean she wouldn’t hold her ground. What if he didn’t let her take this, was that why he came himself and had

“We need to hurry, I’m worried we are too late.” She confessed and moved quickly toward the doors. Aries followed her but was glancing about the vehicles and narrowed his gaze. Something was moving in the shadows. He could sense it, and a couple times thought he saw the shadows deepen and move. Aries’s eyes had a sheen to them for a moment as he looked with his animal eyes. He felt a curl to his lip. Sybil was indeed in danger here. Her skill had been noticed by the enemy. He glanced at her as they hurried up to the building. Her pace was quick, he just had to lengthen his strides to keep up with her. Whatever was watching them had not made a move yet. Never good to rush an unknown enemy so he didn’t. Staying close to Sybil was smarter. “This way.” She said as they went in. He was still looking outside, he didn’t like this. His gut clenched and he felt malevolence and it made the hair rise on the ba

Sybil was telling her father what had happened. Where she had been when she got a cold chill down her spine. Her father also paused in speaking and looked about the room. The shadows in it seemed to deepen, like you couldn’t see into the corner and your breath showed suddenly. “Do you see this?” He asked and she nodded standing straight from where she’d been sitting and looked at the corner of the room. Something was there, something was moving. Like it was coming out of the wall or darkness itself. “I thought I was dreaming this before.” He commented and she reached below the shirt she was wearing and pulled out an ornate cross. She had faith in the higher power and she knew belief and real faith was a powerful thing. The belief in goodness and not letting that darkness in was sometimes as powerful if not more so than a glass full of holy water and she

Sybil sat reading through the tome that was really thick and she was making notes. Going through the stores here because that was asked of her. Over the week that she had been here she finally got a handle on where she needed to start. Aries hadn’t told her exactly what he’d like her to help with most while she was here yet. Just help them and she could start by going through what they had. Sounded like he wanted her to get familiar with this room.He wasn’t going to bother her with his main need until she was rested and able. He was very adamant that she be healthy and whole. Sybil kind of liked the chivalry that he was showing. Though she would like to just start now, she didn’t do well with idle hands. Hence why she was down here trying to figure out these stores. If this was where she was to stay for the time being. Especially working with Aries and his people for her tres

“Thank you.” Sybil told Aries as she took the glass that looked like a stout brandy glass. No stem and was a swirling translucent red. Her hand grazed Aries as she took the glass and he felt a slight tingle there. He had no idea what she was doing, but clearly she was doing something major. Who and what was this woman he’d found out in the woods? She might be his mate, but she was clearly a powerful creature. It was a draw he found. His mate was a strong capable woman. Clearly she would also make a very strong leader, and that was a relief to him.“Kal put this over your mouth and nose, breathe normal okay?” He gave a nod and looked at the glass. With a breath clearly steadying himself unsure of what she was doing he did as she asked. Sybil took a silk baggie and took out some yellow powder in her hand. She licked it and then bent so she was level with Kal’s navel

“I’d like you to explain what you just did. What you think this is and how you knew what to do.” Sybil bit her lip slightly and leaned against the counter there thinking for a moment. Then started to explain what she did, what she used.“It was really the energy that made me think of what to do. What was wrapping around the child wasn’t physically doing anything. It was feeding off the energy, draining the unborn of its very life. The parasite like thing that came out is just a tool for what is really feeding. There’s malice there, a hate toward your kind I could feel and a joy at what it was doing. What it was stopping.” Sybil felt a little sick at the idea of being happy at killing something so innocent.“Are you sure you know what this is?” She nodded. Clearly the demonic had a serious issue going o

“So it will just turn colors?” Daral asked looking at the goop that Aries had. He’d divided it up amongst the groups and they were slowly going through the lower area here.“Apparently.” He told him, and Daral was looking around slowly. They all were, they knew that this was probably going to be a surprise. Just jump right out at them, but that was why he put the groups together that he had. He knew who worked the best with who. He and Daral had fought together many times and were close. He’d also decided on Kal and Mecir with them this time because he was comfortable with them as well and wanted to make sure that Kal didn’t lose focus with how personal it now was. Especially since he got to see what was inside of them.“It’s disturbing knowing that something is in us and we didn’t even rea

Fire raced out in all directions consuming the floor below and then upward. There was a scream from a good number of spider demons as they were lit ablaze. The rest had no choice but to come up to escape the flames. Aries shouted for more to be lit and thrown down. No hesitation, they were lit and thrown. However several nasty looking spiders as big as a man came crawling out. That was when the fighting started in earnest up here. There were snarls, hissing and clicks as Aries people and these demons fought. However the most dangerous demon was still not up. Only a handful of minutes, but now the entire area down below was a blaze and the heat coming out of that hole was intense. They had to back up, however that also meant the spider demons could not go down. A large number of them were burning and the smell was atrocious. Something huge shot out of the hole and had gripped the ceiling above them.

“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.
Mate of an Alpha Prime 42. Sending a Message
“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. You will not be a pet to demon, you will be food when the magic runs out and our world collapses. If you rather an end as a dem
