Birth place

My mind was spinning from the shock of hearing about my birth mother’s real identity to the point that I fell on my knees. 

“ You cant be serious , “ I said. “ My mom is … , “ 

“ Not the woman you were raised by, “ Vixen interrupted. “ Cindy Wingfoot was the beta of the Purple Moon Tribe for decades . But before that, she was Luna’s confidant , “ 

“ What do you mean by that ? , “ 

“ Let’s just say life was not always easy for a demigod whose father abandoned them . As Luna and Dalia struggled to find their place in the world , they each stubbles into two very different tribes that would accept them. Your mother found a home with the Purple Moons. However, Dalia found her home with the barbaric Crimson Moon tribe, “ 

My eyes opened wide with shock as I heard the mentioning of the Crimson Moons. 

“ My tribe has been a war with that tribe for centuries, “ I said. “ But I thought they all died out when Lyconville was created, “ 

“ You thought wrong, “ Vixen replied. “ The Crimson Moons have been living underground for decades, waiting for the perfect time to strike . In that time, they have be nurturing Dalia’s daughter to master her magic so that she could overthrow your pack and take it for herself,” 

“ Jennifer , “ I clutched my hands in fury. “ I knew Jamie wouldn’t betray me that easily, “ 

I leaped out of the stadium and began to make my way back to the village only to be stopped by Vixen. 

“ Calm yourself. Lycon. Dalia’s daughter has had her entire life to master her connection to magic while you have only just now tapped into a fraction of what you are capable of,” 

“ What are you saying ? , “ I asked. 

“ You need to train before you can liberate your people from their current circumstance, “ 

“ Liberate ? You mean to tell me that Jennifer has already enslaved the tribe ? , “ 

Vixen bit her lip and confessed to me . 

“ Yes. She has, “ 

“ That’s impossible. Ive only been gone for at least five hours, “ 

“ It only seems like it has been five hours to you. But when you came back to this village, you stepped fought in a area where time moves slower than that of the outside world. Think of it as a lunar paradox. This paradox in particular has been housing you in Lyconville for the past five years, “

Immediately , my mouth dropped from hearing what Vixen had told me as crazy thoughts zoomed through my head ; 

Five years ? That’s insane. How could I have not noticed five years past me by. What happen to my parents ? What about Jiah ? Is Jamie still with that horrible she-wolf ? Is my tribe even still alive.

My head continued to pulsate as I balled up underneath a tree trunk, clutching my head  with anxiety and utter shock. 

Vixen kneeled down to me and attempted to give me some type of comfort as I slowly began to collect myself, “ 

“ I know this is a lot to absorb. I have been trapped inside this Lunar Paradox for over three hundred years and it still is overwhelming to me from time to time , “

“ Lunar what ? Why didn’t you tell me ? , “ 

“ To be fair , I did not expect anyone from the outside world to stumble upon this village after its untimely destruction. Let alone one of the few Lycons in existence, “

“Whatever , just tell me how to get out of this loop , “ 

“ Only a decedent of Chronos can unlock the loop but you are still far too inexperienced to break the spell, “ Said Vixen. 

“ Maybe not on my own. But what if you walk me through it ?, “ I asked her. 

“ You do not release what your asking me to do. Magic always has a consequence . Especially for those who are not familiar with how to use it efficiently, “ 

“ I cant just stay here while my people are kept in chains. Please ,help me save them, : 

“ Listen , Young Cub. I can’t …, “

Before she had a chance to finish her answer , I got on my knees and clutch my hands around hers. 

“ I am begging you, Vixen . I will do anything to free my people, “ 

Vixen reached out to me and placed her hand on my forehead as the autumn leaves blew pass us.

“ Will you swear to kill the leader of the Crimson Moons when the time is right ? , “ Vixen asked with a cold hearted scowl on her face. 

My eyes glowed white as I agreed to her request . 

“ Yes, I swear, “ 

Vixen than cracked an ominous smile and lifted me up while holding my hands inside her palm. 

“ Repeat after me , Buffy, “Vixen said before closing her eyes. “ By the power Chronos , I his decedent break this paradox , “ 

“ By the power of Chronos, I his decedent break this paradox, “ 

Instantly , the strange blue plasma from before flowed through out by body as I transformed into my she-wolf. Vixen released my hands as my body began to float eight stories high , levitating me over the entire landscape of Lyconville. 

I released a loud howl that caused the skies to burn with the intensity of a green star, slowly tearing a part what appeared to be a large dome around the forest. 

As the paradox was destroyed, my body hovered back to the ground as I slowly changed back into my humanoid. Feeling uneasy from the spell , my body struggled to keep its bearings as I began to collapse to the ground . 

But before I hit the soils underneath me, Vixen came to my rescue and helped me up . 

“ Not bad for your first spell, Young Cub, “ 

“ Why do I feel so weak ? , “ I asked. 

“ I told you . Magic has its price  Now lets get moving. We have a long trip ahead of us , “
