Who's the Mate Bride?

People died, kingdoms end, new generation arises, but he, being immortal continues, and has no choice but to watch the rise and end of every civilization, and to bear a new name in each era.

" Thousand years...I am already waiting for a thousand years, and yet not even a shadow of Cybele had I seen,"  Rhysher sighed.

I have already met the guardian of the water and fire, and recently the wind...there's still one I am looking for...the earth guardian. He thought to himself.

After my fall, the messenger sent me a recent prophesy that my bride would possess some of my natural powers due to that incident I did before I drifted away, that day in Valhalla, and that would serve as a sign for me that she's the one. Yet, the problem is that later some time we found out there were four of them who were born with such elements of mine. This is getting complicated. If only you have the same face in this lifetime, Cybele. He thinks.

Ofedin was known for being a feisty wolf that was given with powers of the fire element. Rumors said that the wolf's footprints appear burnt on the path it walks upon. Commoners were scared of their pack, and no one has ever attempted to intrude on their land because of Akash, the shaman warrior who was suspected of the fire wolf.

But of course, the element was once his, Rhysher knows how to tame its guardian. Also, good thing that she meet him at a time when she was still exploring her abilities. He had been her mentor.

How would he describe Akash? Well, she fits to be the fire guardian for she was fire herself.

Fiery. Hot. Untamed and Sexy.

There's only one thing he didn't like about her. She's too confident and ill-tempered, perhaps because she grew up being a warrior.

While Rain was the exact opposite of her.

He met her one summer. He was searching for an oracler that time that he traveled out of Scandanavia, and destiny had brought him to the pack of wolves that was guided by a priestess.

Rain, at a glance, was the shy type, with a modest and innocent face. Her black hair and her gentle eyes of her were deceiving, and he didn't expect she's the water guardian.

She is beautiful too, and like water, sometimes she's serene, and sometimes she's dangerous.

Astrid the wind and sky guardian was feisty too. His spy told him that she was a demi-god. She's a daughter of Balthar to a certain goddess and that was kept to be a secret. They were protecting something he doesn't know yet.

There's still one he hasn't met yet, the earth guardian.

But if ever I met all the guardians would my heart be settled then? Rhysher asked himself.

These she-wolves were all close to me as if they connected to me at some point but still, I am uncertain why...maybe because the powers they wield were actually mine? Or maybe because one of them was probably my beloved? I don't know yet until now, as thousands of years unfolded I'm becoming unsure if I would still find you...Cybele...or I am even doubting myself If I will know that it's you. Rhysher thought to himself.

" They said I would be cast down with my divine abilities remaining in me. Yeah, they're right at some point. At least aside from my fangs and claws...there was still the element of lightning and ice left in my grip,"  Rhysher whispered.

Yeah, ice. Without the other elements present in me, this, elemental ice is somehow a curse to me. Because of this, I was forced to reside in cold snowy mountains with the pack which I had established. The Lycan Blood to me has become my family, and this snowy mountain has become my little kingdom. Yeah, little... compare to what I actually had before in Valhalla. Rhysher thinks.

Meanwhile in the Howling Valley

" Ultima!"  one of her lead warrior wolves was rushing unto her. He's looking like he has some bad news to say.

Gaia rose from her throne seat with furrowed brows.

" What is it?" she asked.

" One of our packs has been raided!"

" raided?"

" yeah..."

" who's the intruder?"

" base on the warrior's suit...they were from the Lycan Blood!"

" Lycan blood?"  Gaia muttered with gritted teeth, of course, she knows the Lycan Blood.

" Are there casualties?"  she asked.

" Yeah... some Omegas and pups," the warrior replied.

Hearing that, Gaia then walked out of the chamber, rushing.

" Uhm...Ultima..where are you going?"  the warrior asked

" I'll take care of those fu*** Lycans!"  she yelled without even looking back.

The Next few Hours

Gaia was standing on the edge of the cliff, facing the direction that's heading to where the Lycan Blood's land is located.

She was looking fierce, in her combat suit and warrior headdress she's wearing, which symbolizes their kingdom's strength.

She is Gaia. She's the earth guardian.

And now...these Lycans would taste her wrath.

Gaia then began to close her eyes and clasped both hands as if praying. She was concentrating. The wind began to blow on her face as she began to harness the earth energy that she needed for this retaliation she wanted.

" This globe...This sphere...hear me land and soil beneath. Let my wrath be poured unto them, "  Gaia whispered.

And in time, it's like the plates under the crust had heard her call. It began to waken, but it was selective, only those parts where the Lycan's kingdom was inhabited.

Gaia flashed a smirk when she confirmed felt that the earth had followed her command.

And from a distance, she saw their land being shaken, horrible voices of despair reached unto her ears.

That equals to the cry of my people whom you killed. Gaia thought to herself.

Meanwhile

Rhysher rose from his bed realizing that the earthquake that was shaking his land isn't just a natural one but motivated by an element. Of course, he knows it. That element was originally his.

" The earth wolf?"  he gasped.

The element will not recognize me since it now acknowledges another guardian. He thinks.

Rhsyhere rushed out of his room and waved his palm in certain motions. He is harnessing energy that was under his authority.

Light... he whispered in his thoughts.

He was asking light for a shield, for protection.

And as he exudes out incredible, blazing and unassailable force out of him, great light had covered the entire land of the Lycan Blood.

It was as if two great powerful forces were wrestling at that moment.

Two elemental powers.

Two guardians.

The earth and Light.

But Rhysher felt that the earth is not gonna give up.

And so he pushes through.

With a scream, he waved his hand for a stronger blow, and in a snap, the entire land had turned frozen.

Yeah...freezing even the earth's tectonic plates beneath.

" Hey...earth wolf... I know very well the weakness and strengths of your element, for before you were born with it...that element was originally mine!"  Rhysher whispered sending a message through a telepath.

Weakness? Did he just say weakness? Gaia thinks.

I am supposed to be a she-wolf, a guardian of no weakness! She thought to himself.

Whoever the light guardian is, for sure he was connected to those Lycans and he had said something he's not supposed to say. Gaia thinks.

To show that she's unyielding nor threatened, Gaia let out a howl that's reverberating loud and fuming unto the Lycans Kingdom.

Hearing that, Rhysher's eyes crinkled to the side, soon he was flashing a mocking smile.

How brazen? How could a wolf howl at a Lycan...oh a Lycan God?  He thinks.
