The ground begun to tremble once again as they sat up, the ritual was now complete. Lucius looked around nervously."What is happening?, Did it work?", Lucius asked."I can't tell for sure...We followed all the instructions and made no mistake", Rey replied as she looked around.The trio tried to find their feet as the ground beneath them trembled. "Well, we did something...", Luna said as she rested on the wall to maintain her balance. As they spoke, the wraiths begun flooding the room. They encircled the trio continously."This doesn't seem good...", Luna said nervously.The wraiths suddenly began leaving the room and re entering."They want us to go outside, they want to show us something", Rey said as she hurried outside. The others were quickly on her tail as they all rushed to the exit of the structure."Look...", Lucius said as he pointed a green spot on one of the branches. "We succeeded", Rey said as she smiled. "Silverwood is responding to us"As time passed, the once ba
"If I tell you what should happen next, it won't happen", Seraphina said. "You three have roles to play and so you must figure it out on your own""You knew we would revive you and the forest, didn't you?", Rey asked."I hoped, I hoped that you would find your way here and so I took a gamble", Seraphina replied."A gamble?, I have been wondering how this forest barrier was broken through. But it wasn't broken through, was it?", Lucius asked. "You allowed them in... why?"Rey turned to Seraphina in shock, she had never considered that possibility but as she thought of it, it slowly made more sense to her. Seraphina had to have let the Lycans in and she had to have allowed the forest be destroyed."You gambled on your own life?", Rey queried. "It doesn't make sense.""I had to make sure things go according to plan", Seraphina replied. "I had to make sure we have a fighting chance and so I had to put everything on the line""I don't get what the play is here...", Luna said."You will see.
Two strangers walked along the road as horses and carriages blazed past them, it was obvious that something was happening in the capital. One of the strangers stopped a peasant who was on a carriage. "What is going on?", asked on the stranger."The capital..., it is in chaos. The alpha king has been killed and so have a lot of the alphas, the Crimson pack is no more and their allies have been killed too.It's chaos in the capital and people are fleeing for their lives.""Hmmm...", replied the stranger."Where are you going to?", the Peasant asked."Isn't it obvious, we are going to the capital.That is where we need to be now.""Didn't you hear a word I just said? Going to the capital is a death sentence.""No worries... we will be fine.After all, we are already dead.", said the stranger as the two strangers begun walking. They used black cloaks to cover themselves from head to toe and their identities were co cealed due to the overgrowth of facial hair and the hoods over their heads
Argabus led the two men towards the direction of the explosion.They saw a large amount of smoke in the air and they all rushed towards it. "Is this how it has been in the capital?", Magnus asked Argabus as they arrived at the scene."Pretty much", Argabus replied."Wait... something isn't right", Asher said as he stopped.The two men quickly stopped and looked at Asher."What is wrong?", Argabus asked."Black magic... lots and lots of it", Asher said. "This isn't just some pack, this is the veiled Serpents""We will need back up then...", Argabus said."We don't have time, I can sense their energy. They are headed for the castle, we have to intercept them before they do so.""Are you crazy?", Argabus replied."No, if the Alpha Queen or her sons are hurt then this Will actually become a disaster.You said it yourself", Asher said."But if the veiled Serpents are here then that must mean that...", Argabus said."... the Lycans are closeby", Completed Magnus. "We know"Argabus nodded an
Like I said before, I hoped that you all will step up and I still do. You need to return to the capital and protect those who need protection, for only then will you be ready.Only then will you be able to move forward, only then will you be able to claim your destiny and only then will the world be truly safe.""I still can't believe that Asher could be alive", Luna said excitedly."We have to get going then, you will get your answer soon enough", lucius said to Luna as he turned and walked towards his horse."What about you?", Rey asked Seraphina. "Will you be okay here all by yourself?""I'll be fine, I'll have my hands full with keeping an eye on the forest and making sure it is back to it's full power.And when you are ready, I will have the answers you need.""Thank you, for everything" Rey said."Don't mention it. You guys better get going."They all nodded and mounted their horses and rode away, towards the capital.***A day later, Argabus, Asher and Magnus stood at the entran
As the voice echoed from the back of the crowd, all eyes turned towards the source. Stepping into the light, with a determined look on his face, was none other than Alpha Daemon, Rey couldn't believe her eyes. She had thought Daemon was gone for good, but here he stood, aligned with them in their time of need. A mixture of surprise and relief washed over him. Luna looked at Lucius nervously as Daemon made his way to the to the front of the crowd."Lucius is right. Surrender is not an option. We've all suffered losses, but it's not the time to dwell on our past differences. Our common enemy, the Lycans, threatens everything we hold dear. I've returned to stand with Rey, Lucius, and all of you to protect our realm.So Rey, I will help you and so will my pack""Why should we ever trust you", Rey replied."You shouldn't", Daemon replied. "But you can trust her", Daemon said as he pointed towards Aurora.The crowd was abuzz with murmurs and whispers as they processed Daemon's unexpected r
The preparations for war begun almost immediately. The various alphas and nobles begun gathering supplies and messengers were sent out to every corner of the realm.The preparations went on into the midnight. Asher stood at the entrance to the Royal Hall with Lucius when Luna came to him."I'll leave you two now", Lucius said as he winked at Asher and walked away."Hey Luna", Asher said tenderly."I have been searching for you for some time now", Luna said."We have been trying to ensure that the presentations go smoothly""I can see that", Luna replied. "Come on", Asher said as he took Luna's hands and led her out of the Royal Hall. They made their way to the tower which was situated at the middle of the city."Quite the view, isn't it?", Asher said."It is...", Luna replied. "I've missed you""I missed you too", Asher said."You could have come looking for me", Luna said. "I thought you would be in the capital, I hoped you would be in the capital. There hasn't been a day that went
Boom!!!A large explosion rippled through the capital as confusion and panic swept through like wildfire.Rey and Lucius had just discovered that Silverwood forest was destroyed and so they rushed back to the Capital sensing that the capital would be next. The King, who had organised a banquet, was still in a festive mood, but his happiness was cut short by a sudden attack.Boom!!!Boom!!!Explosions continued to ripple through the Capital as screams and wails of despair and agony continued to resound through the sky.The wolf packs and noble houses quickly mobilised their best warriors and Alphas to face an unknown foe and the Royal guards were dispatched around the capital.Boom! Boom! Boom!But it was useless, the attacks continued to happen in quick succession and no matter how much they looked for the culprits, they couldn't find them.The Capital was quickly thrown into a panic.Rey and Lucius rode into the city gates just in time to witness the explosions."You go and rendezvous
