Argon crouched in the shadows of an alleyway just beyond the towering walls of the capital city. Clad in dark, hooded attire, he blended seamlessly with the dimly lit surroundings, his heart pounding in anticipation. Beside him was a mage from the veiled serpents, her robe concealing her identity, ready to lend her magical skills to the mission.Argon's target was the Prince, the last remaining pure-blooded wolf in the capital, and the key to the Lycans' plans. The Royal Palace lay just beyond the city's main gate, a formidable structure guarded by the elite Royal Guards. But Jade had assured them that the Prince's security was not as tight as the rest of the Royal family.Argon's plan was to infiltrate the palace quietly, avoid detection by the guards, and extract the Prince alive. He knew that any harm done to the Prince would alert the Crimson Pack and potentially disrupt their grand strategy, the last thing he wanted was to face off the Crimson pack in the Castle.With a nod to the

In the days following the Lycan intrusion into the Royal Palace, Rey's discreet investigation into the various wolf packs within the capital began. She knew that time was of the essence, and any shred of information, no matter how small, could be the key to unraveling the mystery of the rogue pack that had aided the Lycans.Rey spent her days with an air of casual normalcy, making appearances at pack gatherings, observing pack leaders and their interactions, and subtly questioning pack members. Her unassuming demeanor hid her true intentions. Her silver eyes, however, never missed a detail, and her sharp mind carefully cataloged any peculiarities or anomalies in behavior.She started with the larger and more influential packs, knowing that if the rogue pack had indeed infiltrated the capital, it would likely have come from a significant one. Rey engaged in casual conversations, probing for any hints of association with external sources or knowledge of the Lycans' actions.One evening,

Seraphina sat on the great Oak and looked across the stream that flowed through all of Silverwood. She sighed deeply."I am counting on you Rey...The whole world is counting on you both", Seraphina said.It all came down to the next few weeks and there was so much uncertainty. Seraphina felt nervous as she though about all the possibilities that could unfold and it made her body shiver with dread. As she sat there and gazed upon the horizon, she suddey felt a peculiar presence approaching Silverwood. It was Jade, she hadn't seen of spoken to Jade in nearly 1000 years and all of a sudden Jade shows up at Silverwood. She knew it wasn't a good sign, Jade's presence was never good news."Jade", she sighed as she got up and walked down from the oak.She made her way to the entrance of Silverwood and she waited for Jade. The spirits of Silverwood were riled up, they did not like the aura that Jade possessed and they were reacting to the presence that approached.As Seraphina waited at the e

Hyperion looked at her, he was surprised by how emotionally she was talking."What do you mean fail him?", Hyperion asked."When I was a kid, my dad asked me to look out for my sister. It was his dying wish bit since his death, Jade has been distant since then. She has only made more wrong decisions since then and we have only drifted apart more and more.""How has this been affecting you?", Hyperion asked."Well I have a lot of responsibilities now and I worry a lot about her. I feel like I have let my father down and I have failed him.I can't lose Jade. She is all I have left, she is the only family I have. I don't know what I would do if something happened to her. I fear she will take the dark road.""I don't know what I should do. I am so confused, I don't know where to begin.", Seraphina said sadly.Hyperion looked at her with a sympathetic gaze."You are strong Seraphina, you have to push on and not let anything slow you down", Hyperion said.Seraphina looked at him and sighed,

Lucian and Hyperion were gone for a few days, most people in the capital had barely noticed their departure. Seraphina counted the days of their absence with patience and she hoped that they return safely.One evening, while she sat on the porch of the Blackthorn residence, She normally spent her evenings looking out across the capital, seeing the hustle and bustle of the city in the evening had a calming effect on Seraphina. She heard some commotion within the premises, she rushed down to investigate and to her delight she saw Lucian and Hyperion standing before her.Lucian led the way, his piercing blue eyes filled with determination. Beside him was Hyperion, the two men had a look of exhaustionon their faces but more importantly, Seraphina could feel a sense of dread coming from them and she knew that they had discovered the worst."Seraphina," Lucian greeted with a nod, his voice carrying a peculiar exhaustion and weariness.Seraphina walked towards them, concern etching her featur
