Chapter 1_Coven of the willows

In the middle of the battlefield is a long jet-black hair man with gray-blue eyes. he moves so swiftly and gracefully with a fine sheathed sword, oh his sword! a creation of the dark moon entity and a gift from the moon Goddess.

His gray-blue eyes were calmly dangerous as they darted left and right calculating his enemy's moves and his counterattack, he was very young but very experienced. He is the Alpha king, the leader of the crystal moon packs, and the king of all the kings and queens of the supernatural realm of Akaldama.

With a shrieking yell, Lucian draw out his sword,

"Goddess Damned you all! I will send you'll back to the pit of hell"

#3years back

Akaldama was a peaceful place. a realm with only supernatural beings, full of different supernatural species, with a king or queen as their ruler. but the one and only superior king was the Alpha king, the king of the werewolf pack.

Long ago before the now ruler of Akaldama. Goddess Diana, after creating the realm of the supernatural, the Goddess made one among the werewolf from the Blakewood family the king of all supernatural, regardless of their known savage, impulsive and aggressive behavior. though there were tales that the Goddess gave the first leaders of each supernatural being a test of leadership, they all failed, only the pure-blood werewolf from the Blakewood family passed the test and with that, he has crowned the king of all supernatural, the werewolves were said to have found favor in the eyes of the Goddess as the most devoted worshippers of the moon Goddess Diana. they never see the need to conquer each other as they coexist peacefully.

Centuries had passed, since the peaceful reign of the Blakewood family, and, it seems for the first time since Akaldama came to exist, darkness is lurking around the corner.

In the supernatural realm, during the reign of one of the Blakewood brothers, Alpha king Lucian. the Coven of the willows, the witches of the north began an obsessed practice of black magic banned millennium years ago by the celestial Goddess, as it was written in the ancient book of principalities, that it will bring nothing but chaos and disorder to the world.

Words reach every corner of Akaldama. Empusa, the leader of the willows coven had begun a practice of black magic, as expected she was summoned by the young king Lucian, together with the other leaders of supernaturals, so they could tackle the uprising and fear of impending chaos, as black magic was strictly forbidden.

In the courtroom of the Alpha king palace, the chairs were well furnished and carved with bronze glamorously, sitting on them were the leaders of each supernatural being representing their kinds in their royal-like regalia. in the middle of the long square table that separated the chairs is a huge chair with a well-carved wolf lying in a circle at the upper side.

the court had been waiting for the arrival of the Alpha king. not long before all become impatient, His arrival was soon announced by the herald. Alas, A very young tall elegant gray-blue eye man, with the long smooth jaw, and a white or would I rather say, pale white skin with long silky jet-black hair that complimented his long well smoothened leather coat, his royal gold, and milk-colored-cloak trailed behind him as he walks, the same golden carving on the throne was skillfully made boldly on the back of his royal cloak and also at the top left side of his coat. it's the royal regalia of Akaldama's superior king. everyone stood up and bow slightly to him as a way of greeting and respect to the superior king, the leaders were also all prominent people within their kind.

He gesture for them to have their seat as he sat down too on his throne. The herald brought out a scroll and began listing the matters arising in Akaldama, The last on the list was the most disturbing of them all.

"The...the practice of the...the...the dark magic by the northern witches" The King's herald stammered.

All eyes shifted to Empusa, The young king who had not chipped in much on the rest of the conversation before, rise his head like he had been waiting patiently for this moment. there were multiple murmurs as everyone in Akaldama for donkey years has been very wary of dark magic.

The young king raises his hand as a gesture for silence, the murmurs stop immediately as the royal courtroom becomes as silent as a graveyard.

He gaze so coldly directly at a beautiful white-haired lady with brown eyes, with a calm not bothered voice he asked.

"I presume you know the consequences of practicing black magic, Lady Empusa?'

Nonchalantly, she stared daggers at each one of the others sitting at the table waiting for her reply.

'there's no black or white magic, Your highness' she replied curtly.

With a perturbed voice, Lucian asked yet another question slightly raising his voice at her.

"Do you or do you not know that by practicing black magic you are deliberately exposing our realm to its ruins?

All eyes were on her, and she could feel her body burn from the fire of their glare.

Empusa shifted uneasily in her seat.

"I know, but there are just baseless tales and shouldn't be taken seriously, I'm a black witch and a black witch should practice black magic that's the only right way, my lord"

"Baseless?! you call putting our realm and its people in harm's way baseless tales?"

Ragnarok the king of the dwarf kind snapped immediately at her.

Everyone could feel the strong aggressive aura emitting from the young king as one could tell he was holding back himself from snapping at this discourteous woman.

as if on a wind to save the suffocating atmosphere, Queen Ina of the wooden Elf intervened.

"Lady Empusa, I hope you can tone down that voice of yours, that is never a way to talk to the alpha king' she said with a little frown.

Rolling her eyes Empusa snapped back at her with anger visibly in her voice.

"oh please, spare me those lectures little Ina, we all know the Alpha king crown isn't something of merit, who would have given such a little boy a crown bigger than his head."

Even when it is plausible that he's just eighteen, he's still their superior king and her manners were way out of line.
