If you only knew Reka, Winslow killed your grandfather and I was the only one there who clearly saw what happened, that unfaithful night of year 1160, the murderer whispered while he is looking at Reka while she is sound asleep, too tired from crying. The strange individual stayed at the rooftop to avoid being seen and caught by the guards and some members of the pact that were ordered to look and bring the killer to be put to trial in Revilum high court.
Megan and Jade are holding each other's hands while in bed tonight. Alicia and Moira went camping near the lake and it's been an awful night for everyone when they heard of Winslow's death.
It's not what I really expected when we went out here to take a vacation. I thought Meg's appointment as one of Revilum's leaders would go as smooth as we came here, what, like a week ago. Hmm!, I expected too much and now I'm disappointed!, Alicia murmured while Moira is napping inside the tent they made just a couple of hours ago. They too heard of Winslow's death and it made them realize that even if they seem untouchable they can still be killed, with the right weapon and a more clever killer. He was slaughtered, he wasn't just murdered, Alicia!, Moira said while pulling herself together coming out of the tent.
Well, it was an unfortunate event but I wonder who did it and what was his intention, especially now that Meg's installation as a leader is happening on Saturday, Alicia added and Moira moved closely to put her arms around Alicia while she is facing the lake. It is peaceful and the air is fresh and the breeze is silently caressing both of their hairs. When Alicia felt goose bumps come all over her body and motioned Moira to keep silent putting her pointy finger on her lip, shushing her girl.
Then out of the blue, came wolves out of the lake like animals coming out of their cages. Alicia immediately transformed and shouted to Moira to do the same but since she's still a novice she had hard time on doing it. She forced herself to change into the furry animal but she couldn't maybe because of fear or the moment. Okay just warn the others and I'll follow you after I kick some hairy butts, go, go!!!, Alicia said through Moira's mind and ordered her to warn the others, so she ran quickly and eventually changed to a wolf when she was escaping the ambush. She saw Alicia following her and didn't see her girlfriend after she heard one wolf and another were thrown, punched, slapped and scratched.
Moira was so scared she ran like hell out of the scene. Jade woke up and Meg is already transforming while she is sensing Alicia's message. They're coming here for you, Meg!. Be ready, we'll be confronting the best wolves in the world. We call them the wolf heroes who saved us all before in Black Death, Great Wars, and many more. These fellows aren't just ordinary creatures, they are the most influential beings that set foot earth.
They have been living here for decades and are said to be world renowned artists, scientists, geniuses, tycoons and philanthropists of the olden times, and influencers of the new era, Jade explained while they went out of the hotel and stood ready for the attack, Reka and the other elders are on their way to join the fight. These wolf heroes are just five grown and furry creatures but they amount to 10-30 or more men, maybe. Moira, Alicia who is already covered in blood, Jade and Meg stood before these heroes and are pretty nervous on what will happen next.
Are you crazy? Veena, long time no see, you have been smart after all this time and haven't learned a lesson from our past encounters? Missed me?, one wolf, the biggest of them all shouted and looked at Jade teasing her. Meg turned to Jade and her girlfriend just shrugged her shoulders, and said I'll tell you all about it later, if we survive this battle. So, we need to live through this, so guys, wolves, here we go!
Waaaaahhhhhhh!, the four new borns shouted charging at them five most notorious and powerful wolves in the world. The five men just stood and waited but suddenly they felt the sting of fire after fire hitting their bodies, silver bullets and heated blessed oils touching their furs like melting their hairs one by one. The beasts growled in pain and one by one they fell down defeated. Reka is a life saver and came with her 50 furry soldiers at the right moment to save the four women decided to fight even if they knew they're no match for the old and hero wolves. Thank you, Meg said and hugged Reka so tight that the woman couldn't breathe. M..e ehhg!
Oh right, right, sorry, but thanks!, Meg said and turned to Alicia who had suffered bruises and wounds from her solo fight with the beasts. Hey, how are you feeling?
Like sh*t?, but I'm fine! Alicia said smiling and held onto Moira's arm for support. Jade and Meg helped heal Alicia. Jade touched her wounds and they covered fast. Jade advised for her to rest a bit to recover quickly, Meg went out of the room and saw Reka waiting at the living room for her.
Meg, we need to anoint you as soon as possible for we wouldn't be able to keep a hold of the beasts that will attack as again soon, Reka said warning Meg about a war. What?, Reka, if they don't like or want me to be their leader then I could step down and live an ordinary life as a commoner, a doctor, a wolf in the shadows.
No, I saw you and all of us alive because you are the leader. With the others, they would try to stop us but if they win it'll be the end for us, Revilum and the world. These creatures are no longer human, they no longer feel like us and can't even think logically anymore. They only feed and whatever they desire will be their only reason.
And survival is their purpose and our laws don't apply for them. They have no rules and they live barbarically. We don't want that to govern us or the world. We will do the appointment later, so be ready!, Reka explained and disappeared from my sight.
Man! is she serious! Anyway, I need to prepare then.
Jade went out of the room and told me that Alicia is okay now. I felt relieved and heard my cell phone ringing. I answered and it's mom and dad trying to get a hold of me and asking how Jade and I are doing. It's been a week and they haven't heard from us, so, they were worried. They know they shouldn't but parents are like that so I assured them that we are fine, along with Alicia and Moira.
Jade already knew the deal and she prepared me for the ceremony later. I took a bath and Jade came in to scrub my body, back and feelings. I couldn't get a hold of myself and touched Jade, her hair and her mouth, kissing it as I pulled her inside the tub. Jade took off her clothes and kissed me with much affection and desire. I missed her so much and so did she. We held on to each other and made love under the light of the blood moon.
In the bedroom, Jade made me wear a knight's armor, the lighter version of it, like black leather jacket and tights, boots and gloves. I felt like a knight but more of like stupid wearing all those sh*t, hehe! Jade just looked at me and made a face. Whaat?, I replied half questioning her.
At the Elder's Chamber, Reka is wearing a suede gown, waiting for me at the platform where we need to stay together while being anointed and married. We both stood side by side at about five feet apart for each other. I felt nervous because there are about 100 or more people watching the event. It must be that big of a deal to them and that Is swell for me.
Once the Latin words are said, Reka and I went off the ground and levitated so high, a blinding light came down from the universe and enveloped us. It carried us like a mountain or hill is lifted high above the ground and thrown into oblivion. I felt lighter than a feather and light came out of my mouth, ears, eyes, all that has openings as if the light has eaten me inside out and now pulling me upwards to be sucked into its wilderness, peace, beauty and majesty.
"Potestatem dare nobis lucem, potestatem fac nos unum ut teipos tibi offeramus in perpetuum unigenitum nostrum (aaternum). Semper nostrum solum ad" (Power give us light. Power make us one. We offer ourselves to you. Forever our only One. Forever our only One!) The magical words that kept on repeating while Reka and I are lifted up and there's nowhere to go but up. My God, I have never felt so high and mighty. I feel so at peace and this power that sucked me in is like an untouchable feeling of ecstasy desire, passion, heat and love. It is so powerful that I couldn't tell whether I was about to die or live at the same time.
