Chapter 17 - Archaic Revelations V

Unknown Location

Zenith Tower

Existing outside the confinement of visible reality but within reality, the zenith tower acts as the highest possible plane on the planet unknown to anyone except the councils themselves.

They sat on their high thrones looking down at their arranged armies like ants, their moods were disrupted and integral. Their greatest prayer was the watchers coming back with the corpses of the dhampir and the Nelapsi but every thoughts crashed as swirls of energies erupted in the middle of the enormous circular room revealing Amelia, Scott, Catherine, bishop Daimon, Bella and Clancy.

Heavy smiles appeared on their faces and they clapped in unison "Well-done Amelia, we've always hoped you'd be better than the others. We know you'll always survive no matter the circumstance." They said in unison adoring Amelia as she emerged with the team.

Amelia took a step forward and stopped "My pleasure!" She went on one knee.

Clancy raged out "You betrayed us?" He asked almost charged at her but Catherine held him back.

Amelia looked at him smiling, she turned at them and chuckled "You think those puny explanations of yours would drive me off course?" She asked laughing and Clancy grew more anger, he felt like pouncing on her but Catherine just held him back like a child. He couldn't tell how but he just felt so calm when with her.

"It was all part of my plan." Amelia chuckled.

The councils smiled, they never knew Amelia could turn against her entire team or was it a plan. They sent the watchers to have her executed, if they had done that, she wouldn't be here standing with the Dhampir and it wasn't even enough, she came entirely with the alpha werewolf and the ascended vampire. They couldn't be more happier, they just smiled like controlled puppets.

"Well-done Amelia, I'm so proud of you." Lady Sif said from her throne but as soon as the two councils levitated downward, she tagged "You just made me proud of you, I'm happy to have you as my companion." She added now standing few feets before them.

Amelia turned at the three councils smiling "My honor dear lady!" She tilted her head slight downward and raised immediately "But something baffles me!" She said and the councils heightened in observation.

It was like they knew what she was about to say already.

"What is it that confounds you?" Lady Sif asked.

Bishop Daimon took a step forward "Stop Amelia!" He said to her which caught her amazed. She looked at him and back at the councils "We trusted you with everything, we took you in like a family. This wasn't the plan!" He added shouting under his breath but with a snap of lady Sif's finger, his mouth went zipped.

"What was the plan?" Dracula asked attentively.

Amelia looked at him and answered but before she could say a word, Scott lashed out like a released cougar.

THOOM!

Was the sharp sound heard as a fierce force struck Scott backward unconscious like a ragdoll.

"I hate intrusions!" Dracula said turning back at them.

Clancy was more angered but he had no other choice than to run towards Scott since the others ran for him. He could hear his heartbeat steady meaning he's still alive but Amelia won't be, he assured himself systematically and rose on his feet. He stealthy brought out his guns but the bishop stopped him nodding negatively.

"The plan was to attack the councils but that wasn't what baffles me! What puzzles me was the theory of the prophecy, what is it all about? Is it true? Are they telling the truth?" She asked the councils.

The councils were mystified, they knew what the question was all about but lady Sif was the first to utter "You betrayed us!"

Amelia frowned in confusion "I didn't!" She replied "At least, you won't give me a reason to betray you, right?" She added.

The councils grew furious but lady Sif was the first to retaliate. She lashed out her right arm within her robe erupting a red chaotic energy but Amelia displaced her palms in the air before her flattening a green transparent field that almost stood against the attack but the assaults of the chaotic energy was more than she expected. On colliding with the field, it released tendrils that spread out like tentacles but immediately, Bishop Daimon rushed in after releasing his lips. He speared out his arms enforcing Amelia's field with the aid of sacred energies channelled from the bible hidden between his waist. This created a positive defense against lady Sif as her chaotic energy and it spreading tentacles began encompassed by the combination of natural and angelic forces.

BOOM!

Occurred the result of the opposing energies that drove everyone off their feets except the councils that only staggered back. The eruption triggered the stability of the domain and they heard like thunder claps that ululated below them, Bishop Daimon realized what the thunder sparks were then he realized the councils tower was hidden above them all along. The Zenith tower was hidden in the skies above them, hidden from their perspective like white fogs.

The thick smoke that choked the wind elapsed immediately with a sway of Dracula's arm but before they could react, Bishop Daimon uprooted his arms upward enclosing themselves including Amelia in divine energies that departed on conclusion.

Out of anger and pure rage, the councils yelled like the thunders. They looked at the scattered armies and yelled in unison "Find them, don't stop until they are found! I want them here, dead or alive!" They ordered.

Pacific Ocean

Middle Ocean East

William's Boat

RUMBLE!

The clouds darkened and lightning sparks roared on the face of the atmosphere. Due to the sudden change, numerous men rushed into his room along some other men but they were all dressed in black suits and boots, they looked identical but different physiques and features.

William sat on a sofa playing chess with himself but after noticing the immediate lightning surges, he knew what was happening. The councils were either angry or the Zenith Tower was attacked but none in history has ever attacked the Zenith Tower so solidly it proved doomsday on the atmosphere itself. It's possibly the councils were mad.

He rose on his feet and instantly turned at his men, he recognized some of them to be his errand boys but with no positive responses. They just stared down in failure and finally, a man uttered.

"We couldn't find them but we found his house and possibly father, dead!"

Sighing reluctantly, William the first dispersed without a stress of action of his face.

Twilight Fall Town

Town Forest

In the middle of the night, the town fell into a serene reign of no disturbance until a rage dispersed of divine energy appeared tearing most trees down like plastic. From these emergence came Bishop Daimon, unconscious Scott and Amelia, Clancy, Catherine and Bella. They stood trying to bring the unconscious duo back to reality but all efforts were unyielding.

From the shards of perception, the councils armies appeared. Some appeared like weredogs, member of the werebeast family. They looked like regular humans standing 7.5 feets tall but with canine characteristics such as dog ears, tails, furs different in colours and feets that vaguely resemble clawed paws. They growled and snarled angrily with their eyes glowing yellow in the dark, clammy salivas dripped from their fangs and mouths as they growled and snarled in fervor.

Bishop Daimon stood his ground summoning from his hidden bible pages that soon enlarged into sharp booklets ready for action but more growls snatched his attention, then he realized they were completely surrounded.

Before him were weredogs but behind them were werebats, some hovering above them like birds in the night while some landed behind them like fallen monuments. In full transformation, they looked like giant brown and black bats with typical snouted pushed out pug noses and sharp toothed mouths, their arms were extended into leathery wings, clawed hands and feets. Their eyes glowed as Bishop Daimon's divine light shown on them and they screeched slightly in a mixture of pain and fever but even with his light, he won't be able to defeat them all. He took down one earlier but taking down twenty or above along side weredogs would be the hardest impossible thing he'd think of executing.

Clancy brought out his guns aiming at the weredogs while the bishop aimed at the werebats since they're sensitive to light unlike bullets. They turned trying to stay alive but from the woods before Catherine, a hairy figure jolted out but instead of been it's prey, Catherine summoned courage and attacked instead. As the creature drew closer, she darted forward just few steps and SHOOK! She plunged her right hand into it chest. It roared in pain but it wasn't lengthy as she drew out it slow beating heart.

She smiled looking at Clancy in achievement but a weredog jumped at her. Clancy moved forward releasing cannonade of bullets on it and it fell in demise whining like a puppy.

Bella attained her Nelapsi appearance and growled at the werebats but they never seized, although they reacted in fear but that never stop from roaring back.

"We are eventually going to die, just not today!" Bishop Daimon muttered clapping his palms so rigidly it brought light upon the forest.

Werebats flapped into the air while some were granulated by the attack but it never stopped them, it instead made them more angry and like kites, they glided downward at the bishop.

BOOM!

A wave of telekinetic force was released that caught all werebeasts astound, they were sent sliding back like nylons in support of the wind but majority of them stood their grounds, mostly the weredogs.

Not long, laziness of winds seemed and from it invisible accumulation William arrived glowing like the moon just arrived on the planet brightening up the forest. His arms were spread sideways like a floating god hovering above the men like their saviour.

The werebats and weredogs growled silently in fear and slowly, they were quiet. They couldn't attack nor could they growl, they just retreated into the dark like ghosts until they were nowhere to be found or perceived.

He looked down at the men and women, a smile appeared on his handsome face "Am I so glad to meet you Dhampir!" He said.

Clancy doesn't know who he was, they just stared at him speechless and unable to react. His appearance just circumvented them off actions and they stood mute like tamed pawns.

"We've a lot to discuss young one, come with me!" He stretched forth his right arm.

Like a hypnotized man, Clancy held his hand and with a swift puff, they were all gone and darkness reimbursed.

☆☆☆

In the very thickness of the darkness, the watchers stood. They couldn't attack with the council William present, they wanted to attack earlier but as soon as he emerged, they had no other choice than to retreat even before the weredogs and werebats could make their moves.

With them gone and darkness retained, they walked out breathing heavily "This has eventually gotten out of hand mate!"

The second watcher replied staring at his inmate "We need to tell the councils as soon as possible!"

The both turned and the first said "They didn't find the Lord William, he found them!"

With slight nods, they vanished into the darkness.
