It was already mid-day. Both sides were all taking their time planning how to attack and counter-attack. Rio was already awake, he went downstairs and saw Gavino talking to the other sect members, carefully inspecting the possible area that can be used as an opening through the fortress of Dante. He sees Rio coming and asked him to check the map laid over the table.
“Come Sigma, this is our location, and this our main target.” Gavino pointing out the map.
As Rio moved forward to take a look, the other member stared at him. Some with confused looks and some with hesitant feelings. All of them are on the same side now so there is no point in saying what is on their mind. They knew that a negative commentary would just stir up the situation more.
“Are sure about this?” Rio asked Gavino for confirmation and he nods to him as a form of saying yes.
“We must not fail because there are no second chances left for us, we lose we die.&r
Though outnumbered from the start, Dante's men managed to cope up with their enemy. Rio knew that Gavino will soon receive Dante's wrath any moment from now. He tries to push himself as close as he can but to no avail, these Lycan armies are well trained and would not back down from him that easily. He can now see the fully transformed Alpha walking towards Gavino who is now lying on the ground.Gavino tried to get back up to his feet though he was not feeling good after the blow he took from the Alpha. He had managed to stand up but Rio can see that he is wobbling to his feet. The Alpha in front of him seems to have no intentions of giving mercy at all. Gavino's courage was not enough, the Alpha king's strength is incomparable with his and Rio can sense that. He wants to help Gavino but he cannot do anything at this rate yet.Rio went on a rampage and show his force, throwing those Lycans standing in his way one by one. He uses his razor-sharp claws to cut his way thr
Guillermo started to heal Rio, yes, the shapeshifting natives have the ability to heal also. They may not be as powerful compared to war werewolves but their speed, agility, and healing ability make them a tough enemy. Rio had transformed back into his Sigma form; he then lets out a loud howl inflicting fear to some of the Lycan warriors of Dante. The sect and the other supporter of the Sigma have regained their courage and holed back synchronously accepting the call of the Sigma.Dante is now at the bitter end of a defeat. It might be better if he accepts losing to his brother and at least save the lives of his men, but he was too blinded by his hatred. He would not dare back down and holds his claim firmly.Rio sees a signal that Dante has accepted his defeat, so he decided to attack first. He pounced his way through the thick layer of elite Lycans and mad it at Dante’s position. Now the reigning Alpha came face to face again with his brother Sigma.&nbs
"You are still incapable of protecting Esmeralda until now. Even if you have a pack with you how do you supposed to save her from the Dark one?"Dante used all his strength and walked through the shattered debris in the mansion until he reaches his executive's table. It was already destroyed but the swivel chair was still okay to sit on.Limping, he squeezed his way through and sat on his chair. He wipes off the blood covering his face with those sanitary napkins he found on the drawer of the table. Then he brought out the golden case of Cuban cigars and picked up a piece.He reached for his Zippo lighter underneath the table that made its way there when the two of them were beating the hell out of each other.He lit his cigar and puffed a broad white smoke.Rio moves closer to him as if nothing had happened several hours ago."May I?" He asked Dante as he was pointing at the golden case of Cuban cigars at the top o
“Don’t worry Leo, he knows his place now, after all, he knows where to start.” Rio is trying to convince him to calm his thought, after what Dante did to Mathilda, he thought to himself that Dante cannot be trusted. “Yes, you are the boss now, but I was just warning you. We have been through hell because o him. You cannot expect me to just sit here and buy everything he’s selling to us. But if that is the only, we have, to get Deadrei from that much awful monster than he is, then let it be.” Leonard finally agreed with Rio. Dante was just listening with the two, he hears them but pays no attention to their argument. He knew that it was all about him becoming their ally. How ironic, he thought to himself. He had been trying to kill Rio to revive Esmeralda, but now, he is planning to help him save Esmeralda from the Dark one. It would not be an easy task; Augustus is of a different level compared to war werewolves. Werewolves are brutally s
It was dark, too dark that Rio could not see a thing. He can almost hear himself breathing and his heart pounding as he walks through the endless abyss. He can feel that his legs are starting to numb while he continued walking.“What is this place?” He mumbled to himself as he starts to breathe heavily due to the scarcity of breathable air. The stench of dead bodies was too strong for him to not recognize this kind of smell. He felt like it was Deja Vu.It felt like he has been here before. As he continues to go on his way, he began to see something glowing from afar. Yes, again he sees that same fountain glowing with fireflies surrounding it.“Don’t tell me that this is a fountain of blood?” and to his surprise, it was blood running through that fountain.It all came to him that he has been here before, and he is a hundred percent sure about it. He then holds firmly the sword that he realized he had and anxious
There was an uneven glowing light fluctuating in the Darkness of the abyss.Deadrei is trying to perform a spell to create an exit portal but to no avail. The pattern she had created seems to be working for few moments but eventually dissipates through time.She had a lot of cuts now in both of her wrists using her own blood as fuel to the spell, but she always fails every time she tries.Her frustration began to grow; tears roll down from her eyes.Deadrei was a strong girl and had endured a lot of hardships when she was training to control her own wolf and practiced magic, under the guidance of her adoptive parents.She learned to use and cast spells but not as good enough compared to her abilities back when she was Esmeralda in her previous life.The howling cries of the restless souls being tormented for eternity in the abyss had added up to her frustration, she cannot fully concentrate. If only she has th
Upon hearing what Dante had said, the others have realized that this situation was not just about personal to the Alpha, but is also important for all the people of Amberwood.“I also wish to save your future queen from the hands of the dark one. So, I will ask all of you now. Those who are willing to help us can stay in Amberwood, and those who lack trust in us may leave this place and find another community to join. But believe, if we fail, no one else can save your sorry lives from the wrath of Augustus.” Rio stopped walking and looks at them one by one.Some noded to their agreement but few others turned their eyes away from his. Though the room was filled with silence from what they have heard, nobody decided to walk out the door.“If things are already clear, then I declare that this meeting to be adjourned.” Rio closes the council meeting and everybody had started going on their way.“So, it has been agre
Days have passed by and winter had ended. The search for the last surviving sorcerers had nearly four weeks already but still, not a single one was found.Rio cannot see anything wrong with how they are handling the mission. The elite tracker Lycans are really resourceful but still not good enough to make any progress.They have gone farther north, search every possible community that might have been their possible hideout. It had always been the same until they have reached the seaside, a dead-end for their search.It was almost negative forty-seven degrees Celsius, lucky for Rio and the rest of the crew that they have this internal warmth in them so they can withstand this kind of cold weather.“I believe we are missing something; we have been following possible traces of these people but every time we are we think are so close to finding them, we hit always a dead end.” Leonard may have lost his patience but who could blame hi
After defeating the Dark one, Amberwood had once felt security. The new Alpha had made his promise to his people by eliminating the threat of Augustus. Not only that he had restored the trust of the people to the throne, but he had given them a Luna, a sign of hope and prosperity. Rio reunited his people under his full authority, there are no more pro and anti-party because he had offered all of them a seat to the round table council of the new Amberwood. “You have done well my brother; you truly are a man of your words,” Dante tells Rio with satisfaction, his hatred towards him was no more. He finally sees that Esmeralda is in good hands now. Dante was thinking of leaving for a long time now and told Rio about his plan. “Where do you want to go no brother? You can stay here if you want.” Rio tries to persuade him in a polite manner, but he knew that Dante had made his decision already and there is no stopping him now. “
Augustus had long waited for this moment, for someone who can end his long-suffering in the abyss.Although he had been expecting this, he was surprised the Pius would be the one to end his life in the body of Rio.Rio had wings that grew in his back and were coated in shining golden armor, with the silver sword in hand, he looks so glorious and mighty.This was the same image Augustus saw when he was as young as Rio. Those days of his youth, having the talent and quality of a protégé’.He had seen Pius before in his dream, he had talked to him and was chosen by him to lead all the fallen servants of the creator to their reconciliation. It was an ambitious plan to him, he was fit for this position but because of the tragedy he suffered at the hands of the first Lycan king, he had moved away on the right path. Seeking more power that he can accumulate in the easiest way just to have his revenge.Little did he know t
Rio and Dante, a silver and a bright white war werewolf, both Alphas, joins forces in front of Augustus the golden enormous werewolf.In lightning speed, the two Alphas started their assault to Augustus. He was looking like a fiery dragon in front of two eagles, a mismatch at its finest.Though they are against all the odds in winning the fight, they do not have any other choice but to act or die where they are standing.Augustus screams at them, “Come at me and I shall rip your bodies to shreds!!!”Rio gave the first blow on the left side of Augustus and the second by Dante at his right. The two of them where shocked when Augustus caught them both mid-air like flies using a chopstick, impossible, the two of them utters as Augustus throws them at each other. They both stumbled in the dark vicinity.Though the scene was vivid, Deadrei can clearly see how Rio and Dante are being handled like toys by Augustus.He reall
Dante uses his sharp claws to hack and slash these creatures that are attacking them. Geovanni helps by using strengthening spell on him. Imagine powerful Lycan having a sorcerer by his side making him indestructible.The two of them are doing great but these creatures seem to not to be diminishing in numbers, if this will continue, they well lose stamina to fight and soon become overwhelmed by them.“We must get to Rio before we end up looking like these hideous creatures,” Dante tells Geovanni as he returns to his human form. He realized the he will just be wasting his time trying to clear this wave.The two of them evades the creatures by moving deeper into the abyss.…Rio continued walking but he suddenly stopped upon noticing the same creatures that have attacked Dante and Geovanni.These creatures started attacking him also. He slashed them with the silver sword. As the blade of the sword slices throug
Primo coughed out blood as Rio fell down unconscious on the floor. The old man had used all his life essence and started to fade into bits of glowing particles. Dante saw fireflies coming out from the broken window and being carried away by the breeze. Dante knelt down to his feet; he was sure that it was Augustus who had processed his brother. He knew that it was possible but did not really expect he would actually do it. Leonard returns to his consciousness and saw Dante with his clothing ripped off, a sign he had just transformed. He could not believe what has just happened to them. That old Incur was unlucky. Leonard followed Dante who had just stood up and went back inside the town hall. Geovanni was left speechless looking at the glowing particles, recognizing Primo’s sacrificing his very soul to cast such a powerful spell. All he could do was say a farewell to his old companion. He also went inside and followed Dante as w
With the sword in hand, Rio’s confidence was boosted. His doubts have vanished from his heart and mind which had haunted him for quite a long time since Deadrei’s abduction.Indeed, it was a good opportunity to take all the matters at hand and end Augustus’s life once and for all.Rio looked at himself in the mirror, convincing himself that he can do it. He picks up the sword and then went on his to the town hall.Leonard was waiting for him outside his door and asked him what took him so long to get out of his room. Rio just shook his head and did not reply to Leonard’s sarcastic remark.The two of them walked side by side on their way to the mansion.Dante was at the entrance of the town hall smoking.He saw the two of them approaching so he throws the almost finished cigarette at the metal bin near the post, he then turned his heel in the direction of the meeting area.Prometheus and the three
The room was filled with silence as Rio entered it. He laid the put the sword on the wall at the left side of the bed.Rio sat at the bed and stared at the sword while his mind was floating.As if his thoughts are flying in somewhere.He can see his own reflection in the shiny part of the holster that hid the sharp blade of the majestic silver sword.He thought to himself that he had been surviving this new life of his in the most unexpected ways.As he was contemplating in his silence, he hears a knock on the door.At first, he ignores it, maybe the person would go away after he care not to open for who might it be.The person was persistent and knocked again for the second time so Rio decide to see, was it. He peeped at the glass hole in the door and saw Patricia standing outside.Rio remembers her, and he felt ashamed of himself about what had happened to them when they got drunk that night.He does not
He uses both his hands and grips properly at the handle of the silver sword.A surge of something electrifying inside him as was felt by him as he exerts force, pulling the sword from where it is stuck.The ground shook and everyone was disturbed by this phenomenon.Leonard was astonished and cannot believe his eyes; Rio seems to be another person. His aura definitely changed as he wields the sword, swaying it from left to right slashing through the air.Though Augustus was smiling at himself, deep inside him crept fear. An icy chilling feeling from his bones.Deadrei felt the power also surging within her, maybe because her wolf is tied to Rio’s that is why he felt that power too. She had noticed herself, glowing like Rio as he was holding the silver sword of Pius.This had definitely turned the tide for them. At least now they stood a chance against the Dark One.…After pulling the sword out, the g
In his dream, Rio saw Deadrei again. She was wearing a white dress that made her even look more gorgeous. Her angelic aura made Rio want to not wake up anymore but Deadrei pushes him away from her. She was smiling at him and uttered to him, “soon my king”.Rio snaps out of his dream and gets awakened by the sound of birds chirping around. He then decided to get out of his tent and stretches his body.He was sure he had a good night's sleep he deserved even it was just for several hours.He went to Leonard’s tent and found no one inside.Rio then decided to look for him and saw him together with Incur, Geovanni, and Primo in front of the campfire. They were having tea already.Leonard calls him out to join them and so he went near them. Leonard then poured tea in an empty cup and gave it to him saying, “special tea for you your highness,” while laughing a little bit.He took the tea and sat with the
