FLASH BACK.
YEAR 2012. MARCH 27TH.
BLAIR MANSION.
OPEN FIELD.
"..Where magic lies... so does chaos.", Ryan Blair. Despite the traits of being an original he owned the looks of an old man and even with the magic he had, he showed no interest in making himself any younger. He maintained his white gray hair. Old wrinkled skin. Donned in an overall black outfit with a black coat worn on. He stood there far from a 15 year old Selene with his white sparkling irises in check.
Selene had a yellow singlet on with a blue thick bomb shot. Black fitting boots that hugged her slender legs, with tied red lace. The pink necklace resting peacefully round her neck. Her wrist embraced by the rings.
"..Those rings are basic tools used to channel the esoteric energies around us into varying effects but forget that. Not all rings are just basic tools used in channeling the esoteric properties around us. They call be hidden artefacts and some could be just tools.", Ryan didn't leave his spot. He still stood there and went on. "What on you are Artefacts beyond the magical reality, their influence on reality serves as a great horror to thousands but satisfaction to few.. and those few are those who wants the artefacts."
Selene stood there like an obedient student. Of all the children's of the Blair, she was the most obedient one. Not to talk of Drake who was still the fiercest amongst them.
"Now we'll focus on channeling your energy through the rings to create a concrete destructive ball. Not for blasting on anything though. Just need to put forward on your palm and feel the chaos that revolves around it. Sometimes gazing at our source that ruins a hundred is worth more than using it immediately.", He smiled. "....I will show you."
He brought his right hand forward, opening his palm. Concentrating the right amount of needed energy in him. A red ball escaped it vault and emerged from his palm. Like a cloud aggressively awakened with tiny fragment of destruction in it core. That wasn't how powerful Ryan was. Placing destruction in the core of the ball was just a minor in his own perspective..
"Wow..", Selene uttered. She looked at her palm after observing the mass energy that was before her, an inch away on Ryan's palm. "...It so easy with him. But it won't be so easy with me."
"It will be if you try stop thinking negatively.", His words catching her of guard. Despite mumbling so lowly he was able to hear her. "Feel the magic... sweep your desires, make your unhindered imaginations flow unquestionably.. don't let it take you years before you learn to understand the fact that you are no ordinary Blair.. your wisdom is feared , your knowledge is superior. Don't hold them back, use them to your full potential or you will be left open in all corners. No one wants that. Not even you. So what are you waiting for... step up your game and build your own domain."

FLASHBACK ENDS
NOW
CICADA WOODS.
YEAR 2021. NOV 5TH.
A forcefield triggers abruptly , slicing the trees aggressively. The creature attacking got repelled by the field. Thrown away. Selene, standing in a a center. Glaring at the female creature as it shoots out of the debris. Aiming for Selene but she crosses her hands and the rings glowed immensely creating a battering wave that knocks the creature away yet again.
Bianca storms out the blues with her hands morphed into a fist. Shooting vigorously at the creature. Inducing so much force the angle should we crash into would damage on an incredible scale which it did. Selene raised broken trees and even uprooted some of ground, all of them illuminated in a violet hue.
"Did we get it?", Bianca looked at the angle the creature had crashed into.
"I don't think so.. I can feel it relentless self still raging through the wreckages it in.", Selene replied.
Abruptly, they creature shot out of it spot and ran of. Selene and Bianca looked at one another before resulting to chasing it down. Selene changed her location relentlessly not caring about the fact she was wasting her own energy. Soon she triggered the rings.. ...locations between her and the creature swapped incredibly.
Bianca instincts were sharp. She witnessed the moment and utilized it to her advantage. Coming down upon the creature with another fist that would have sent the creatures head rotating vigorously and right of it body immediately but it didn't happen. Instead the creature crashed into the depths of the wood. Breaking through the woods.
"You sure do love those fist huh,". Selene teased Bianca as she levitated down to where the creature was and immediately caged it a forcefield. It wasn't yet unconscious.. instead it was healing. "It a real hard one alright.."
Bianca dropped in observing the female creature as it retained human form. It tigress appearance ceased but her beauty remained. "Hmph, would you look at that."
"...We should probably inform Drake about this..", Selene suggested, looking worried. "We already have the killer but she doesn't look sos deadly as she claimed to be.
"That won't be necessary.", A deep thick voice knocked in on them. Bianca quickly turned and pushed Selene out of the way only to welcome a fist covered in a red huge gauntlet. Hitting her tremendously. Sending her over twenty miles away from them. "Take the heat!. You calling no original here.", 'ROARR!!' coming out of the shadows, revealing to be a huge white gorilla. Turning towards where Selene is.
He made to punch her but she countered controlling his fist , tossing it aside. Then using a tree to smack him via the one she was still holding up. The white gorilla still held his stand and stomped the ground creating a quake that made her fall.
He marched towards her with brutality waged on his gauntlet. "You calling no original here!."
He repeated the word yet again and summons his entire fist upon Selene.
+++++++++++++++++
Ryan opened up the refrigerator of flaming bones, the whole mansion hosted a dark theme. He brought out two beers from the various pack of drinks that were there. Closing it he handed one over the Drake who shrugged collecting it, the chilling feeling dazzled him.
Ryan returned to his throne of bones while Drake brought fought a chair out of thin air and got seated.
"So tell me now, what do you think about the family dinner happening tonight? pretty exciting right? I know.", He drinks out of the opened beer bottle.
"No.. we need to talk about this ... you should know I don't approve of this. And I never will, forming an alliance with felines is just a wrong call right now."
He stopped drinking. "Why?", places the bottle on the chair arm. "...Are you---."
"Think all you want.. am not accepting them as family just because they are strong and feared doesn't call for an alliance.", He opposed.
"...Hold up. Whoever said anything about forming an alliance? The Originals don't form alliance or seek.. we don't even do those schemes.".
"Then it means they want to form an alliance with us then."
"Drake ...son. I know you aren't ready for all this but she likes you really. Tira always made it clear she was in love you not because of who you are but because she's ----"
"Uncle ...seriously. Those guys are suspects in a murder case. Fortunately the bureau of absurdities haven't even laid hands on the case yet. They handling more dangerous cases across the globe they left Selene in charge here but she has no full back up , so she does it solo..."
Ryan leaned back with comfort. "I see... so you're saying because of that you are refusing their proposal.. I get the whole murder fact.. but what of Tira... what do I tell her then? She will die if you deny her."
"....You can't force love. Someone thought me that. And you can't lie to make someone else happy. That just stupidity to the core Uncle."
"I can't pretty much say no to that but I will say. Let the dinner take place. If anything goes wrong---"
"Forget that... Selene is out there risking her ass trying to unveil those back stabbers. Trust me on this one uncle..."
Ryan grunted rubbing his forehead, thinking about what Drake had said. " ....I have known her family for quite a long time.", Sighing. "...I might have to do something to unravel what you're telling me right now. Where's Selene?"
"Last time we talked she was heading to cicadas wood.", Drake replied. "Haven't head from her since there...and your domain negates my powers! like why the heck does it negate and Original's power! that so screwed up!."
"...I can't trust everyone. Including the originals..", He got up adjusting his black coat.
Ryan words struck Drake hard. Drake felt wounded by his words. Ryan on the other was Indeed a cold blooded freak who tried to be the best uncle he could be to Drake , Selene and the Blair children. Despite the ups and downs he had with the originals. Legends has had it say that the originals once got into a devastating conflict that shook the globe and even it external space.
No one knows what brought up the fight and no one knows how it ended. The red blood sky came with chaos that washed the globe like a river. And a blue sky came later on reversing everything. From what many knows the originals conflict were still solid and concrete within their circle and they were doing everything to maintain it and keep it hidden from their offsprings at all cost.
