Chapter 2 - AWAKENING

Lilith is restless and couldnt close her eyes to sleep. Tomorrow is her 16th birthday will her spirit beast awaken. 11:45 pm on the clock she felt her heart racing pounding so loud, her bones ripping it's killing her with overwhelming pain. She dont wanna worry granny willow but she cant bare the pain any longer so she let out a cry. Granny willow's eyes shot open from the shriek she jolted up on her bed and went to where the loud scream was. Her worries felt even more heavier than she could imagine seeing lilith struggling on her own. She didnt know what was happening..." dear god! What is happening to you child?!" she said worrying evidence in her tone. She could only hold her for a while but lilith's body started to convulse, she dont have any strength to stop her. Then she smell a faint of familiar blood. Lilith's nose is oozing with blood. After few hours of shaking her eyes shot wide open, no sudden movement from her, even the faintest breath is absent, her heart stop beating... Tears flooding down on granny willows cheeks. She never would have thought that the one in the prophecy has been beside her all this time. Now that she knew it was too late to save her. "oh goddess of silver moon! Why would you do this to this child! Who suffered so much in this life time?!" she mourned a light gleam across the room. The moon is emitting brighter glow. Lilith's heart started to beat slower at first then gradually normalize. "the blessing of the silver moon goddess!" granny willow utter in awe she was surprised and exasperated from what was happening in front of her. For more than hundred of year it's the first time she witness this kind of event. Quickly she tend after lilith and waited for her to wake up. But when she was about to touch her lilith's appearance started to change. Her physical structure grew matured her skin glisten from the moonlight her scar disappeared, her face become more stunning with marking of the pure blooded kitsune on her forhead and cheeks. Her hair turned silver and the color of her eyes changed from grey to red.. Her teeth grew fang but wasnt that unsightly it was so perfectly fitted with her appearance.

"it's been a long slumber" she said. And then looked at granny willow. Her eyes were domineering granny fell on her knees and bowed down before her.

" this lowly one greets the TRUE RULER, welcome to the surface" she said still bowing down. Her presence filled the entire dark forest. The alpha of the werewolved sense the aura, he jolted up on his bed full of women. his face grew pale and panic took over his senses.

"It's here!" he exclaimed and run out of his room towards his warrior's camp. He called out everyone and prepared to move out to capture the "true ruler"

Granny willow was quick with her witts and gave lilith the emblem it was to cover her scent she thought it was not the time yet to reveal her identity. She needs protection and be acknowledge by everyone that the true ruler has descended.

"granny what happened? You shrunk" lilith tilted her head in confusion. " it's not that child. It's because you grew up now that you're finally awaken" the old lady said with bright smile lilith still in trance of confusion. Her eyes grew wide and her mouth gaped "what!?" she shrieked from the changes her body went through. She examined her body her pale glowing skin her long and slender body she was 5'2 before now she grew 5 inches tall in a small span of time. Her chest plumps doubled the size she was B cup before and now she's D! Her hair silky ombre like the moon and her even teeth sharpened and stronger. "im a pure breed kitsune?!" she muttered in disbelief. Still processingwhat is happening. Usually normal kitsune's hair color are red while white are rare breed but ombre color are pure breed. And Her eyes should be like the color of the moon but it was actually crimson red like the royal blood fairy from her father. She was rare of the rarest! How can they hide the truth?. when her transformation was so obvious?

"rouges are attacking the den!!!" The people outside shouted frantically. Granny willow popped out side and got the residents calm down. "warriors group up and protect the borders. Commander of the left west wing, the north, the south and the east got their teams and ready to defend and fight.

"lilith come with me!" granny willow dragged her on her feet as she saw the warriors fights. Injured and blood spilled everywhere.

"granny, i am one of silver moon warrior. I was brought to this world to protect everyone" she said sounding so proud. "Fight for the life and death" the warrior's motto.

"i know. But if you fight right now the alpha of the werewolf would notice you!" granny explained full of worries in her tone.

"granny let me do this. If i dont protect our brethren right now then when? If they all laying on the ground lifeless?. Not in my watch. You go with the people i'll come find you later. I promise" lilith said with stern look. She will do what is right even if it cause her life.

The granny conceded from her stubbornness and let her go. Lilith gave a smile and dive right into the battle field. She took her kitsune spirit beast form. So majestic and beautiful under the moonlight. Her fur relfecting the color of the moon, her crimson eyes glowed sharp in the darkness, her movement was graceful and lethal at the same time. She felt an overwhelming power and let out a howl her fellow warriors gain courage to fight with all their might as the sound of lilith's howl blessed them with strength. Soon enough the sun start to rise and everyone was exhausted. The battle ended with one last cry from lilith.. The warrior formed around her, her figure stood at the center so gallant so proud! The warrior acknowledge her and bowed down before her. She held her head high and let out a howl.

"lilith?" someone from the crowd exclaimed. Then a murmur start to engulf the surrounding. She smile wryly and it's making her feel uncomfortable.

"Yes as you all witness, she is awaken with the pure blood and a true ruler descendant. Any of you not satisfied with the result will be judge according to the clan rule" granny willow appeared and explain the situation.

"what if the Werewolf alpha come and attack us? Would this be risky for everyone?" one of the commander said worrying about the life of his clans men.

"i understand your doubts and worries. But did you doubt when she took her beast form and fight with you?, have you not received the blessing of the true ruler? Your courage? Your might? Your strength? Is there nothing change throughout the battle? One of the skill possessed by the true ruler is called "blessing" it will enhance your physical, mental and health state. Do you still doubt?" granny protested. The people seemed to come to their senses and felt ashamed for all the things they did to lilith for bullying her, disrespecting her and etc.

"forgive our insolent actions up until now alpha! I Teal Debora, 1st commander of the silver moon warrior, hereby acknowledge, Lilith Silverfang the Alpha, true ruler of the black forest" the man with red hair and golden eyes and everyone under his command bowed down and courtseyed before lilith.

"I Lucious Bane, 2nd commander of the kitsune warrior, acknowledge, lilith silverfang the alpha, true leader of the dark forest"

"I Evanica Frey 3rd commander of the silver moon warrior, acknowledge, lilith silverfang the alpha, true leader of the dark forest"

"I Resti Cole, 4th commander of the silver moon warrior, acknowledge, lilith silverfang the alpha, true leader of the dark forest"

Everyone followed the commanders action and the last to acknowledge lilith was granny

" HAIL! Lilith silverfang An appointed Alpha who will become our future True Ruler!" she bowed down on the ground and everyone followed her. Lilith was still in awe. Speechless she let out a gentle smile and release a great amount of power.

"reborn" one of her skill their spirit beast and the one who possessed them will be blessed with stronger bond. Those who cant control their beast will now have no problem. Those who have injuries and illness are totally cured. The people danced with great joy and grateful of lilith. She's no longer the tainted impure mixed breed. She's now their appointed alpha.
