" How about you make the long story short." The alpha said smirking.
" It not a story you'd like to here, so am literally saving your ears." The priest turn to a set of book piled on the desk, he checked through the books and toast one to the alpha.
" You should go through it in case the princess is captured,". The alpha take a look at the book, it has some magical runes encircling it back with black cover, the writing containing some magical words and other art of magic. The alpha randomly flip the pages,
" Those it contains the sacrifice need to be done to exact the gift she have been granted with." The alpha asked shifting the book inches away from him.
" Why give you the book if I could tell you all those things,". The priest hide a glare which was directed to the alpha.
" Just tell me everything, I don't have enough patient to go through all this pages."
The priest suppress a smirk, he knows that exactly what the alpha would say, never liking the struggle, if only he knows what in that book, but in a long run thou, he shall regret today, he shall regret how lazy he was when his little possession lost her life. A small smile creeps onto the priest lips, he hope for the princess to be captured, so she could escape all this mess. The priest sigh lowly the sadness eating his heart.
" I might give just one hint or two, but that all." The priest sat close to the alpha, looking him straight in the eyes, it was a tactics he learnt when dealing with the dumb Alpha. He always lost it and becomes speechless whenever he was being stared at.
The alpha shakes his head vigorously, " go on, am all ears."
" Well, the sacrifice needed to be done on a full red moon which happens at the end of the lunar circling, which will happene in a few months, and as you know, the red moon occurs only ones in a year, if we miss the up coming red moon, then I guess we'll have to wait for the next red moon which will be a year to come." The priest explained.
The alpha's face was conjure with worry, he fears what will be of his daughters future, she's all he have and the greatest asset he possess, if his daughter possess all the powers the princess was gifted with, he will surely be unbeatable, he could conquer lands and kingdoms where no one will be able to stop him. He would be the most feared and tyrant alpha ever lived on the realm.
" We have to get the princess before time runs out, what do you think high priest."
" Then we should send the most strongest and best warriors in the kingdom to Whitehaven, where the princess is basing is not just a mere resident where our warriors can barge into, we need plan and strategy to get the princess out of their."
The alpha glare at the priest suspiciously, inching closer until he could feel the priest hot breath on his face, he asked lowly suppressing a low growl, " and how do you know where she's residing, I never said a word apart form her being in whitehaven."
A roar of laughter startle the alpha backward, he gaze at the priest menacingly, it one of the priest behaviour he loathed the most, the man knows way too much, that the only reason he left him to his post as the high priest when he abdicated the other members of the oracle circle, his always few steps ahead of him, even with him using the mirror of Life, he lost way so many by using the mirror which the priest seems to be knowing without much stress or losing a thing. He hit the table they were sitting at angrily, his pupils dilating turning into a deep red while his canines keep elongating, a loud growl left his lips, hair visible on most part of his face, his fingers turns into claws as he swing his hand towards the priest throat.
" Control that fetish of yours sylvan, my canines are more sharper and poisonous, you could very well tell." The priest said returning the book he gave him earlier to the shelves. Sylvan takes a deep breath calming himself, his pupils returning to their original brown colour, his canines retracting.
" You might be the high priest of the oracle circle, but you can't be doing things behind my back." Sylvan said glaring at him, his voice hoarse from his half transformation.
"You seems to be forgetting that the oracle doesn't need your permission to function, am the high priest here, which means am able to see and knows everything going on in the kingdom, only if your selfishness had not driven you into making the stupidest decision you've made, the kingdom would have flourish and grows more than this, you could have ripped the sowing of a perfected choice." The priest fires back, even thou he seems calm, the anger brewing inside of him begging to be freed can destroys a whole kingdom, he lived for a thousand years pursuing magic and different Arts, he was almost immortal at this rate.
" Enough Dehila, am your alpha not some sort of lowly creature seeking one of your petty advice."
" However you see it sylvan, but remember, the greedy is always the needy."
" Dehila, I said enough, how did we go from drafting a plan to showing out canines." Sylvan said palming his face with his two hands.
" Some one likes to show off their toddler canines in the middle of discussion, I guess that how."
" Dehila, I just wants to know how you know where the princess was basing that all."
" And I told you, am the eye of the oracle, I've lived for a long time sylvan, you should know that already, such small task can be done with just a flick of my fingers."
" Then why didn't you say a word earlier?."
" Because you told no one what you were up to, remember you going to the extend of saying no one should interfere in your findings."
" Ughhhhh." Sylvan clamps his hair with his two hands shaking it vigorously.
" That must surely hurt, but may be it can refresh your brain cells, you might want to pull harder." Dehila said his lips curling into a small smirk.
Sylvan free his hair immediately after hearing what the priest said, he stare at him for a few seconds, he exhaled loudly before plastering a fake smile to his face.
" Come on princess, just a little more hint won't hurt right." Sylvan said smugly.
" Call me that again and you'll lose those canines you like showing off." Dehila threaten calmly.
" But you look like one, you never aged and always does this thing with your hair." Sylvan said inclining his hands to the priest hair.
" What thing." The priest asked his eyes fixed on sylvan holding his gaze.
" The way ladies ties their hair back."
" Do I look like a lady to you." The priest asked his voice low having a hint of dominance.
"Ehmm, ahmm!." Sylvan stammer not being able to hold the priest gaze, he avert his gaze shivers running down his spines, what was that he saw in the priest eye, that actually the fury of the thousand years wolf, he thought to himself, it like a dark abysse where he sinks into an eternal darkness.
" Say that again and I assure you, you'll end up just like a wall being pulmmerised by the moon swirling aura. The priest said calmly trying to hide his smile, the alpha's reaction was funny, it shows fear, submission and amazement towards the moon swirling aura. The priest shakes his head, his so done with how dumb the alpha was.
The moon swirling aura is something the dumb Alpha would surely fantasize to have, but only the highest rank cultivators can have such aura which looks serene as the moonlight, give out a calm and sacred feeling when used for healing but when use as an attack mechanism, it brings down a whole troop containing at least a thousand warriors. It can also bring down a whole kingdom with how powerful it surge.
