*Meadow*I am in the middle of a field, vast and empty. I can feel the wind on my face and there is a sad atmosphere surrounding me. I am calm but empty. I walk slowly and close my eyes as I enjoy the sun on my face and the bliss of nothing to worry me. But something is missing, I don't know why, yet I know I am not complete. Laying on the grass, I sigh and keep my eyes closed with the beautiful whispers of the emptiness."This is the future…" A voice echoes from nowhere in particular.My eyes snap open and I look around, but I find nothing. My peace is interrupted and I feel confused; I am not happy, but nor am I sad. What is happening to me?"You are in a dream… and through that dream, I reach to you…" The same voice comes again but the origin is everywhere and nowhere at the same time."Where are you? What are you?" I ask, finally convinced that there is nothing but wheat and wind around me. A dream? This is a dream?Suddenly, I feel the wind getting stronger, and a shadow dra
*Caleb*I run to the front of my pack and growl in anger. I see the necromancers heading towards us and I howl again to signal Demark and Smithson. Our plan is simple, we just need to execute it to perfection. The first bodies to reach us are weak and we subdue them without a problem. Our bodies crash against them with such a force, the hit itself disarms most of them. They seem to be hundreds, which would have worried me if I cared, but now all I care is to reach Ignitious and eliminate him.Everything is happening fast. I growl again as we get more waves of dead manipulated bodies crashing against us, they seem to have prepared for this much better than we anticipated. I howl twice and watch Aeneas reach my side. I howl three times and Cyrus reaches my other side. Alex is crushing bones as he howls back at me, and I take notice of what he is pointing at; two necromancers are chanting and trying to bring back those twice dead. I start to aim for those two and wait for the confusion
*Meadow*I shudder as the light coming from Ignitious is almost blinding me. Raziel keeps me tight in his arms as he tries to protect me from him."Keeper, it has been a long time since we have faced each other. But I never thought you would be one to take sides with creatures," He finally speaks and I gasp at the voice that comes from him. It terrifies me to a degree that I never thought a voice could."You have gone too far, what is it that you want?" I hear Raziel say emotionless as his grip remains tight and firm."I want to take what belongs to Us… This Earth, this World, and soon, all that comes with it. They are ALL... Ours to play with," Ignitious says. I pay special attention to his choice of words. Are we facing a mad Angel who believes we are toys? "I can use your knowledge, if you wish to join… Power has been boring… the necromancers are of no fun…" He laughs viciously."I know you will fail, and I am not going to be on your side. I will not live in a world ruled by
*Meadow*I have no idea where I gather the energy to pull Raziel further away from the chaos, but I manage to do this as I watch Ignitious cut a part of Caleb's side. I gasp, but I quickly notice is only a superficial wound, so I do not worry about it too much, as he quickly moves to strike again. Zareen brings both Ebony and Ivory towards us, and I see them in bad condition, but healing as slowly as Raziel does.I make sure all three of them are not bleeding anymore when I hear a strange chanting that pulls my attention. I look to the left and not far from us there is a necromancer who looks at Caleb and Ignitious fight. His chants are aimed at them, and I fear it is trying to cause something on my love.I can't let that happen, I had enough of playing it safe. This is not a place to hesitate, so I close my eyes and merge with my wolf, letting all my primal nature take over. I shudder briefly as the shift finishes, then I launch myself with anger towards the vicious creature that a
*Caleb*I hold Meadow's hand firmly, trying not to let my nerves merge with hers as she tries just as hard not to let her pain and own fears reach me.She is so brave, her face contorts but she doesn't cry or scream. The nurses are doing a great job as well, as they assist her and the babies as they come. The first one was Ian, the boy did not stop crying or throwing fists here and there. As soon as he was out, his brother Xavier followed. It took us a long time to decide their names, and so we settled with my father's names on each. Our last baby is coming now, our baby princess is a little bit late, and has her mother worried."The head is now out, please push Luna, a long one," Says one of the nurses.Meadow squeezes my hand and I kiss her forehead. 'You are so strong… you are amazing my love,' I whisper to her.I see the other nurse pulling our baby out, slowly and gently, and then we hear her cry. I smile and feel a tear slip down from my eye. I can't help but feel overjoyed.
VOLUME 3: SIMPLY ETERNAL*Meadow*I stand up and head to the door; I am not happy, but I won't lose my temper with these other ladies. I only nod my head to Caliope before I leave, as my respect for her has never diminished, only grown. Raziel follows me closely. As soon as I am out of the building, his face reflects his worries, but for the first time, I don't care.We get into the car and he sits next to me in silence. "To the residence, please," I politely order Maxwell, my bodyguard, who happens to be an Angel."I take it you didn't reach an agreement," Raziel finally speaks out. He is not happy either, but I have made a decision.I nod. "No, we haven't. I understand is not easy to get a room full of women to agree on something so important, much less when it comes to women who belong to different races. But I am not going to let my children be raised in a school full of distrust and mothers with a temper," I sigh and look at Maxwell through the mirror, he is chuckling in
*Solveig*I feel a tight pain in my chest. Xav and Ian are watching the news while Cara shows some concern. She tries to look like there is nothing to worry, but I can't dismiss the fact that there is a tight pain in my chest."Sis, look!" Ian calls my attention. "Mom is there, she is fine, see?" He points at the TV.I nod. Watching mom between other people over there makes me feel scared, but relieved that they are ok. "Is Carl at the Command Center?" Xav asks Cara."He is there with Agape and Gideon. They are restructuring the defenses," She answers."I am going to go there and keep an eye on things. I can't stay here doing nothing," Xav says and stands up, I look at him worriedly. He comes to me and kneels in front of me, taking my hands in his. "Everything is going to be ok Sol, no one tried to attack any of the races directly in their territory…"I sigh. "Yet…"Xav shakes his head. "You do know we have the largest surveillance system in the world, right?" He says with a g
*Caleb*I am angry, so close to being furious about whatever is out there that we don't know or understand. Meadow is quiet as she sits next to me, and her thoughts are just as conflictive."I extended my powers as far as possible; everything was uncorrupted. I don't think the dark Angels had anything to do with it... their aura signature trace is completely absent," Amra reveals to us.I nod, taking Meadow's hand in mine. "So we can discard the obvious enemies but we are left with no other options..." I add.Caly sits in front of us and Amra gets closer, she sighs as he rests a hand on her shoulder. "If Amra can't feel anything, I am clueless to what or who can it be..." She says with frustration.Meadow nods. "Well, let's see... the previous attacks have been in minor scales, we had a lot of damage, but the one thing they all have in common is that they leave no physical or spiritual trace. What can cause destruction and no trace? I am afraid to assume anything but at this point
