XI - Beau

1734 I looked down at the knife protruding from my chest. He stabbed me, he actually stabbed me. He never went this far. "Why?" I whispered, as I cried. "Why would you do this?" He didn't answer just twisted the knife, before ripping it out. "You ever sneak food again, and I will kill you!" He snarled, before he looked at the disguised clones with interest. "You did good for once." He said, a look of approval on his face. As he led the clones away, they all gave me reassured pats on my arm, before I lost sight of them, and then I fell to the ground from the blood loss. If no one got to me in time I really would die. I was bleeding out too much. I lost consciousness and when I woke up it was to one of Thomas's workers using magic. He stopped when he saw I was awake. "D-d- "I won't tell him," I interrupted, as he helped me sit up in the bed. "What's your name?" "Percival Pott, Ms. Oadham." He said, noddin

XII - Arung

1734 She just laid there looking dead, and then I looked at the Changeling. He looked scared and I knew it was because of me. Astrosphinxes were mostly known for eating Changelings but I wasn't like that. He would learn that soon. After all I only ever really truly ate my clones and the occasional meals. "Go get Thomas Mills, I still have some spells I need to perfect." I told him, before I focused back on Beau. I then stopped her heart and made her smell slightly of death, before I cooled her blood down. I then moved to stand next to the door, before I spelled flies to fly around her body. Shortly after Thomas came storming in with the Changeling who looked terrified. "Fuck!" Thomas growled, before he looked at the two of us. "Wait twelve hours, I want to make sure she isn't faking this." We nodded and he stormed out of the room. "What are we going to do?" Percival asked me. "She can do this for 24hrs, she's stronger

XIII - Killian

1794There were two things on my mind when I received a new letter from Arung. One he said he had loyalty to the gods and goddesses, and could only give me only certain information about the black marketer we've been trying to catch. That pissed me off. The second was that he was still not telling me what he was. There was only a handful of creatures that were immortal, and no one could figure out what he was.I unsealed the letter and read it carefully.Alpha King Killian,Unfortunately this is the last letter I will be able to write you, I and a select few others must go into hiding. We set fire to one of Thomas Mills hideouts, there were a lot of deaths. I will write once again when it is safe. I was told to tell you good luck with Elila, by Voivode Vlad. You need to choose a Beta soon, it's too dangerous to not have a Beta during these times.Arung Singkang,  Head of the Singkang Clan of Astrosphinxes

XIV - Marlowe

It's been decades since we heard from Arung, the man Anne had asked to help us. The man was a mystery even though I hadn't even met him. Anne had warned us that Arung was someone we did not want to get close to or piss off. That he was a dangerous demon that could survive off of eating his own clones. That his magic was just as dangerous as Beau's.I was broken from my thoughts when a raven landed on my desk. It had two letters. One from the Alpha King, the other was with a seal I didn't recognize, but it had been written in Beau's blood. I opened that later, letting out a sigh of relief when I recognized the handwriting.Marlowe,I am sorry that I haven't been completely truthful with you, but it's for the best. One of these days I will tell you, but right now you need to start packing. The Stripe you are to be accepted in is one of the ones that is looking for a Beta during the trials. I wish you the best of luck. Tell the others that Arung and I

XV - Marlowe

Two weeks have gone by and I've already had a majority of my fingers regenerate multiple times from being bitten off by animals or to stop infection. A few of the tigers I had grouped with already called it quites, they couldn't take it anymore.I hated the Amazon. There were still tribes of humans out here, so we had to be careful, even though certain groups of humans knew about us. I looked at Eidrich and John, who were whispering with each other, smiles on their faces. Mates. They were going to be killed when others found out.I got to my feet; Picking my pack up, I cleared my throat and everyone looked at me."Time to go?" Eidrich asked, as he and the others grabbed their packs."We took a longer break than usual. If we want to get to the ruins, we need to keep going." I told them.I put the fire out and we began to walk. An hour hadn't gone by when a raven appeared with a letter.Stay where you, everyone is getting escorted out. An Alpha has gone mi

XVI - Marlowe

Three weeks of sleeping out under the stars, and we were still following the Wisps. Others had joined us, when they found out we were going to look for the Alpha; Hoping that's where the Wisps were leading us. We were going on week four when the Wisps stopped right next to the river. You could see dolphins in the water. One swam our way, jumping out of the water as it turned into a young man."You must be looking for the Alpha, those feral Werejaguars took?" He asked, while looking at Nevara, who also happened to be a Werejaguar. "You are from a shadow here in the Amazon?"She shook her head no, with a smile."Argentina, but my ancestors are from here." She told him, as she looked at the other dolphins that were staring at us, keeping an eye on the young man. "You all are Encantados, right?"He nodded as he looked at the others."Have any of you been in the Amazon before?" He asked, focusing back on us."I have," I answered; He gave me a loo

XVII - Killian

The sun was setting and the Demons with us were still coming back with groups of men and women, we could hear faint screams while the portals were still open, but then there was a familiar scream, one that was similar to mine. There was a Vampire Weretiger in the A****n, and he or she was pissed. The portals closed and it was silent. "Inform everyone that the trials are finished." I told one of the other Alpha's. "You all are to pick from whoever stays till the next day." He nodded and I left, leaving a few Warriors behind. May the gods and goddesses protect the Alpha and those still in the A****n. I ended up going to a nearby village before sending a letter out to my Stripe saying that I needed all available doctors and warriors. We were going into the A****n to bring back the group of men and women that were in there. Hopefully with all of them alive. It was dark by the time demons showed up with the warriors and doctors. I put us into groups before we all

Sorry for not updating but some family emergencies popped up so I won't be updating for another 2 weeks. I have the chapters ready but I am also going to use these 2 weeks to make sure everything is okay with them. Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week. This will be the first time I actually share battle scenese I've written so I would like to know what you all think. What do you all think of Arung, Killian, Marlowe, Anne, and Beau so far? I'm thinking of adding another historical figure, I've got another few options but if you all have ideas let me know. Once again chapters will be updated twice a week, unless otherwise noted. See you all in 2 weeks.

XVIII - Killian

The Feral Werejaguars kept coming, and men and women on both sides were dying. There was a demonic growl as a large creature with a skull over its head and covered in black fur with a tail made of bone appeared. I had never seen anything like it before. The Ferals stopped when they saw it, all shifting into their human forms. "The Great Beast." They whispered amongst themselves. "Take your fallen and leave, the Queen of Demons is not happy." It growled out. The creature watched as the Werejaguars left, taking their dead with them. Then it walked over to the Alpha that was still tied up and not moving. It's tail wrapped around the man, picking him up before a bright light surrounded us, and I was back on my territory, in my office. A scroll with my name on my desk. Alpha King, Alpha William is back in his territory. I have also returned everyone to their rightful homes. Included is a list of everyone I believe would be suitable as
