Ellis
I did not know what to do about the Sam and Alex situation. If Apophis' vessel was Alex, then whose body was Luna riding? I was very worried because being in the dark wasn't a good thing. I did not know where they would strike from.
I had expanded the dome and made it more homely for the people there. Luna Michelle and Alpha Phelix were distraught and kept praying about their son. I had to quiet their prayers a couple of times. It was weird that these people did not get the memo that the gods were on leave. Every time they prayed, they threw me off guard completely.
I knew I needed to move quickly. Searching through the memories and knowledge of all three gods, I found nothing that told me how to find Lun
Samantha My entire world had collapsed. Ellis locked me up in a room, and I did not like it. She claimed it was for my good, but how could it be? My mate was missing. Alex was my life, and I did not know what to do. I hated the fact that I was helpless. I was a bit ill and the mages were trying their best to bring down my fever. Ellis was the most worried. I felt her fear and pain. I did not know how, but for some strange reason, I could understand her plight. With Alex gone, I wasn't of any help or use to anyone. I would often stare out the window. The news wasn't great either. There was no news in the studios anymore. The humans that were fortunate enough to survive attacks usually gave updates from their basements. The vegetation was dead, even the plants that did not need much sunlight to survive had died out, and there was hunger. People were dying of starvation, and the cannibalism rate had increased tremendously. Nowhere was safe anymore. Strange wolves were rumoured to attac
Ellis I remained hopeful that all this would come to an end, but as things were, the dark side seemed to be winning. The fake moon was becoming a serious issue for me because I felt a mad aura radiating from it. The erratic behaviour of people was caused by the energy the moon radiated. The wolves, on the other hand, we're being controlled by Apophis. If Alex was his host, then who was Luna's host? I hated my new job. Being a god sucked, and I wished I could resign after all this, but I knew I wouldn't be able to do so. Helio was very clear on the consequences of taking his essence, and ascension was inevitable. I would have to leave Derek, the twins and William behind. I sat alone in one of the rooms of the dome and wept. The whole thing was overwhelming, and there was no one to lean on. As much as William was supporting me, it wasn't enough. At the end of the day, I was just a human that was given the responsibility of a god. I was prone to mistakes, missteps and miscalculations, an
Ellis, Seeing William's state of mind, I asked the mages to go. They hugged me and left quietly. I went to meet my husband on the couch. He had tears in his eyes. I could relate. " William," I said and knelt by the couch. He looked at me, snapping out of his thoughts and sat up. " I have never felt so helpless in my life Ellis," he confessed to me. I used my thumb to wipe the lone tear that had escaped his eyes. He grabbed my hand and kissed it passionately. " I am sorry I can't help you, darling. I feel so useless watching you carry all this weight upon your shoulder. I should share your burden, but I can't". He said, and I hugged him tightly and wept in his arm. All William needed was a break. We had our backs to the wall with nothing to fight with. How did the fates expect us to survive this? " I miss the sun, and I miss the way it made your skin glow, Ellis, and I wished I could put it back in the sky, and you wouldn't have to lift a finger, but I can't. I cannot do anything,
Ellis William and I returned to the real world feeling relaxed and renewed. I kept my encounter with the fates personal and, also the fact that she had mentioned Selen and Aries. I did not know when we would meet them, but it better be soon because we were running out of time, and things were already ugly for all of us. I Linked the mages to bring the ring, and Melena said Audrey would bring it. I sat on the couch in William's arms. By now, we kept the curtains closed because there was no sunlight to let in or moonlight to admire, but it was just death and darkness out there. If we ever survived this, I would thank my stars. When my father brought me to the estate, I never knew what life had in store for me. I did not even know about the supernatural world then. My mother told me a lot about them, but I believed they were just stories and unreal and everything was so physical, but now, my perception was different. I had evolved beyond my imagination. From a powerless human that had
Ellis I held Sam in my arms as she lay while we tried to revive her. Luna had stolen her live essence, which meant she would be weakened. For a human, when the life essence is stolen, the life of the human is cut by the amount that was stolen, but for a supernatural being of Sam's calibre, it means that her powers, abilities and strengths would be divided into two, weakening the original. She was blue, and I knew we had to move quickly before her spirit discorporates from her body. I forcefully sent Ephraim's life aura into her, and after a few minutes of this exhausting action, her skin began to regain colour again. It would take a bit before she could get up, but she would be okay in a few hours. Abel appeared in the room, which meant he sensed the presence of a dark god in the estate. "What happened to Sam?" he asked, concerned, and I told him how we came and found luna stealing her life essence. He was worried and helped me lay her in bed. The mages came to help and attend to her
Ellis I could not believe what I had learned about Samantha. How did I miss it? I knew something was off about her because of the way she reacted to the seed, but other than that, I did not see it. Why did I not see it then? I remembered when Fate's sister had mentioned Selene and Aries. I had thought they would come and join me. I did not know that they were already with me. I searched Dinah's memory to see if she knew and held back the information from me, but she didn't. One thing she was sure of was that Samantha was very important, and both she and Alex had a huge role to play in the darkness that was to ensue. I did not know what to do. Why were they dormant or powerless? Was this what it meant to be on pilgrimage? Was it punishment or penance? I searched the memories and knowledge of the three gods and tried to understand why it happened this way, then it made sense. If Fate did not cause us to go into the in-between, events would not have transpired that would cause the gods
Samantha I woke up with Ellis and everyone in my room. It was as if they were waiting for me to wake up. I tried to remember what had transpired before I fell asleep, and I remembered everything. The memories came crashing. "Luna," I said softly, and Ellis pleaded with me to calm down. "She was trying to help, and you chased her away," I accused her, and she was a bit sad. "I am sorry, Sam. I thought she was hurting you. I did not know." She pleaded with me, and I knew she was telling the truth. "You said you found Alex?" I asked her, and she nodded. "I used the eye of Apophis to find him," she said, and I was shocked because I remembered the evil the ring brought. Raphael told us all about the disadvantages of using it. I could not believe that William and Ellis would risk that much to find Alex. "To find a dark aura, we have to use something dark," she said, and I understood better. "So let us go now," I said, trying to get up, but she held me back. "You are not at a hundred
Alex My mind was going crazy. I was tired of living in a cave surrounded by messed up horny wolves. If I ever survived this, I would be absent from Clearsand parties for a while. It was sickening to watch. Yet I had to because that was how Apophis sent magic into them to share. It was weird. While most of the wolves were not in their senses and were being controlled, others were deliberately in league with Apophis. They were Alphas and Betas of the lesser pack. Every day new wolf packs joined up of their volition, and it baffled me how these bastards would team up with the likes of Apophis. They had referred to him as Alex Wildbreed a couple of times but soon realised that I wasn't serving the god, but the god was inside me. It was hard, and I hated myself. During one of those orgies, I felt a foreign aura present. It was dark and faint, so Apophis did not think much of it until a little light came through, and he realised that it was a good aura that masked itself in darkness. The a
