"Octavius, I introduce you to my older sister, Anastasia Volkov, the queen of the Greek clan of chimeras." Introduces Arseni to Annie.
"The bloodthirsty queen of Athens, wife of the warrior kings, Caesar and Maximilian. It's an honor to meet you," Octavius smiles, getting up from the furniture to kiss the woman's hand
"You flatter me, King Octavius, The honor is mine." Annie smiles and lets out a chuckle.
"Please sit down with us, I'm sure you will give us good advice in my conflict." Octavius offers with a charming smile.
Anastasia shook her head through the air casanova of the king of dragons. She sits on one of the chairs on the other side of Arseni, taking one of the wine glasses and taking a sip.
"Forgive the curiosity, but I was talking about a solution, I don't think mine found one in an instant."
Kira gets uncomfortable, talking about her powers is a private thing, she is not sure if it is a good idea to say it. Look at her father, waiting for him to decide.
Arseni growls, keeping a long silence, knows that her sister will not enter an important meeting for no reason, and if she came here, she must have a good one.
Kira noticed how he looks at his Beta and Gamma without saying a word, it is not difficult to guess that they are having a private mental conversation, perhaps even with his godmother. She can feel Octavius' gaze on her, she couldn't help but growl but it's more out of nervousness than threatening.
"King Octavius, can I ask you a question?" Arseni breaks the silence.
"Go ahead, I am all ears."
"How do dragons handle control of the primordial elements?"
"Well that's an interesting question to be asked, we know our primordial elements from the age of six, but there is no control over it. Primordials are ancient, which gives them free will, each individual must have a specific training to gain not control but complete unification and harmony. The problem with the primordial elements if this unification is not achieved, the power comes to take total control of the body, subduing the person." Answer Octavius.
Kira pales just thinking about it, terrified by her own power. What could happen to him without not training. But they do not even know how to handle such a thing, the lycan have never been born with it. She feels a hand in her hair and caresses him slowly, looks up to find her father next to her, then hugs her, trying to calm her down.
"Hey, princess, are you okay? You don't look like it," Octavius approaches them somewhat worriedly. "I hope it's not something I said."
"It's not that, King Octavius," Arseni sighs before beginning to narrate what happened that morning.
"A lycan with an inversive primordial element? Speaking of unique days," says the dragon man, clutching Kira's arms.
"Primordial inversive element?" Question Kira confused.
"An element that reaches the maximum of the two ends, you handle the blue fire, already immediately indicates that it is rare, when you activate it you were at the lowest level and that's why the floor froze, the other side opposite is so hot that can melt the stones." Explain Octavius. "I didn't know those exist, and have not existed in the world since the first dragons."
"How would you explain that a lycan can have this power?" asks Annie.
"Forgive me but I don't have an answer to that, I know more about dragons than lycans, my lady."
"How can I control this then? " asks Kira.
"We need special training, as King Octavius says, maybe you don't like the idea, Arseni, but Kira has to leave the safety of the herd probably," Anastasia speaks.
Kira sees her godmother as if she is crazy, she had never left her family, the only times she has traveled was when she visited her godmother in Greece and it is always with her parents and siblings. Although it sounds like an adventure.
"But he can't go anywhere, it's best to go with the oldest clans," Octavius is thoughtfully silent. "Although of course, I will need some help with my problem."
"I was thinking of doing it anyway, Octavius, calm down." Says Arseni. "Go on.
"I can get to track the oldest clan if you give me some time. They will have a better idea of training that can help her."
"But..." Kira tries to say something nervous, but they don't listen to her.
"Well, when I'm ready let me know and we'll see you at the castle." Arseni and Octavius
Kira doesn't keep listening, everything became background noise. Things that day can't keep getting crazier and weirder. Why was it happening to her? She hasn't done anything to anyone to turn her world upside down. It's just a girl.
"Cub, ready to go home?" asks her father.
"Dad, do you speak earnerly? What... What will I do alone in another country in an unknown place? "Kira starts to panic.
"Cub, breathe, calm and breathe slowly, big puffs of air." Arseni tries to reassure her. "Of course I wouldn't let you go alone."
"I'm going to accompany you to the end, okay?" Anastasia does the same. "We don't know what will happen yet, but I want you to see it as an adventure, new experiences that everyone needs and you have a great opportunity."
"Annie is right, honey, don't panic even without knowing what will happen, okay?"
Kira nods, slowly regaining her breath, although she feels her heart undrilled pounding against her chest.
"Calm, Kira, everything will be fine, just be patient." Giovanni caresses her hair as they descend to the ground floor by the elevator.
The six return to the castle, only slightly heard the noise of the background radio, when parking on in the garage, Kira came out transforming into a wolf in the direction of the forest near the castle. You just want to clear your mind and nothing better than running in that way. That's the way to feel free.
She feels under her paws the earth andm the fresh grass, to hear the wind running through her white fur, the light entering through the leaves of the trees. Runs faster, almost seems to fly because of the speed she does reaches. He doesn't know how long it's been for when he stopped, panting a little, stopping in front of a waterfall at the foot of the mountains. She enters until the water reaches the middle of its legs, drinking some of the cold, cool water, watching the fish flee from her shadow, some of them are as big as her muzzle.
She follows the sight of a large Arctic salmon, tensed the muscles of her paws, she can already taste the flesh of the fish. He is somewhat hungry although his hunting has been limited to smaller animals. Seeking to learn teamwork, she has already formed her group, as have her siblings; their parents have made sure they don't have the same team or are in the same group.
Her yellow eyes they follow the zigzagging shape of the fish sailing in the deep waters of the well where the waterfall falls. Now you just have to wait for the exact moment, patience is the best when you fish. Focusing all her attention on the animal, she ignores the sounds around her.
The salmon gives a tail getting closer to it more. In just seconds, Kira sinks her muzzle into the water, swelling her teeth in the scales, between her head and the galls, causing a faster death, throwing her head back and the salmon flies out to the shore. It barely moves by the blow.
"That went well for you, Kira!" she heard Sergei's voice in her mind.
She looks behind her when she hears through the bushes, sees his brother appear along with his other siblings.
"You've improved, but of course I'm still the best," Garald says on the other side of the water.
"That's mine, Garald!" Kira growls almost about to jump on him.
"Quiet, Kira, he just jokes," says Tatiana entering the water too, "will there be some left yet?"
"Just look in the dark part," Kira comes out of the water reluctantly, dropping into the shore land and starting to eat the fish.
The four of them looked at each other.
"Kira, Dad told us what happened to you this morning, it sounds great." Lev tries to cheer her up.
"Amusing!? You find it amusing that it would be possible for me to die, if I don't find a way to unify with my power! Or that the only thing that can help me is a clan of dragons who know where they live! Yes, Amusing!? You find it amusing that it would be possible for me to die, if I don't find a way to unify with my power! Or that the only thing that can help me is a clan of dragons who know where they live! Yes, Lev, I'm dying of laughter!" shouts Kira as she smashes the salmon with her teeth.
"Really all this angers her," says Garald.
"Kira, reassure yourself," Sergei crosses the water until he is next to her. "It's just your power, I'm sure Dad will find a way to help you."
"They already found it, I am going to a clan of dragons, they are the only ones who control the primordial elements."
"Dragons!? Are they crazy?" exclaims Lev in surprise.
"Can't they come here? Dad has connections and dragon friends, I don't see the problem." Tatiana says with a frown.
"King Octavius said that my power needs more specific training, it has to contact one of the oldest clans."
"Seriously? Nor that it is a big deal, if it is natural in dragons. They make too much fuss about nonsense," jealous growls Garald.
"Seriously, Garald, what happens to you?" Sergei notices his change of attitude
"Always she, Kira this, Kira that. She is always extraordinary and gets the best things."
"Please, Garald, I don't even see where you get those things from, we're all treated equally," Snort Lev, "Is Agna putting ideas into you now?"
"Of course not! She is just my best friend's younger sister!" Garald growls at the insult.
"You think I chose this, let's see try putting yourself in my place," Kira growls dangerously close to her brother and they both start growls ready to fight each other.
"Don't hold yourself in high esteem, Kira!"
Kira threw himself at him, getting into a fight for being the strongest. Garald is strong and easily proved it to her, putting her in a complicated situation. But she began to overcome it using her teeth and claws, which began to freeze her brother, being unconscious.
"Enough you two!" Sergei says ramming at the two, slamming them apart.
Garald gasps with partially frozen front legs. Kira has the bottom full of sand.
"Now you calm down. Garald in view of being provoking her for a foolish, think clearly, she is our sister before the others or do you forget it?"
The red wolf didn't say anything just looking at the ground.
"I'm coming home," Kira says, getting up and starting to leave.
"Let's go then," says Sergei, along with Lev and Tatiana start the way back.
Garald joins them soon after with some embarrassment.
The return to the castle is silent. Voices were still heard in the dining room, probably finishing the meal. Kira ignores them, going up to her room alone, although the salmon barely gave her anything, she didn't want anything else. He drops his body on the bed on his back, looking at the ceiling.
She always enjoys venturing out and discovering more of the world around her. But that of traveling, gives you some fear and more alone without the protection of the pack. She growls frustrated, clenching her fists over her eyes. Why does her life become a mess?
Raise your hands from her to the ceiling, noticing some frost on the tips; but his attention is diverted when he hears the door and it opens.
"Hello, honey," says her mom, walking to her bed.
"Hello."
"Dad told me what happened, you're scared and I understand, but you will not be alone at all, you will go with Anastasia."
"As much as I love my godmother, it's not the same and she has her own pack in Greece waiting for her."
Sonia smiles with understanding, caressing her hair.
"Honey, sometimes leaving the comfort and safe zone, is the best way to grow, to better understand the world; don't like adventure? Allow yourself then to explore what the planet has to offer. Also, maybe your father won't let you go at all so alone."
Kira looks at him curiously, trying to understand what it refers to.
"Come on, you have to pack a suitcase, you leave in a few hours."
They spent several hours fixing everything and saying goodbye to the herd, when it arrived at six in the afternoon, with the sun descending through the mountains, when they were entering the hangar of their family, where it awaits them a private plane.
Kira hugs her father a few meters from the plane.
"Everything will be fine cub, you will have fun."
"I guess," she replies, "I love you dad."
"Call us for the tablet whenever you want," Sonia hugs her cub and kisses her forehead.
"Take it for granted, Mom, I'll miss you."
His siblings hug him tightly, they don't know when they see each other again.
"Sorry, Kira, I act like a fool," Garald apologizes.
"Don't worry, I understand what you felt but don't be influenced by others anymore." She laughs.
"Come on, Kira, it's time to go." Hurry up a little Annie.
Kira looks back once again saying goodbye with her hand. Looking with his eyes for a trace of her friends, she didn't see them when she said goodbye to the pack. Unsuccessfully.
Kira finished entering the plane somewhat sad, listening to how they close the door of the ship.
"Already starting the trip and with a long face?"
Kira raises her face suddenly, finding Aristide peeking out from one of the seats.
