Chapter 18 - As long as time remains

~In the supernatural realm

The Empress Kiona appeared in the throne room

"Greetings Beloved Emperor"

With a wave of his hand the Empress was sent crashing into a wall. Blood spewed from her mouth staining the floor and her clothes. She stood up rather weakly, a smile on her face.

"Beloved Emperor....." She said her voice laced with sarcasm. 

"Did you think the prophecy won't come true because you sent my son, the son of the real Emperor away?" She asked

The Emperor looked at her in bewilderment and bone chilling rage,

"Kiona! Have you gone mad from your stay in the human world! Now speak properly lest I kill you"

Kiona laughed loudly. The smile on her face resembling the blooming red spider lilies of the underworld.

"When people are no longer afraid of death, there is no use threatening them with it... Just watch Makasti.... Watch my son recover his father's legacy... Watch"

With that, the Empress drew a sword from one of the decorative knights and impaled herself. Blood dripping down her chest she fell to the floor. The Empress seemed to be in a daze, seemingly hearing Tukshi calling out to her. She closed her eyes in eternal slumber as her body turned to ash scattering around.

Everything comes to an end, after life comes death then life. The cycle is infinite for as long as time remains.

~In the human world

Tiana who was sent to find and help Layna appeared in front of May's house. Layna and Liam had come over to May's house to explain the situation of things. Liam who was getting some juice from the kitchen sensed the presence of another wolf. His irises turned red as he turned to look at Layna whose irises were blue. May realized something was off and hid behind Layna while Liam went to open the door. Tiana on the other hand had sensed a superior yet familiar scent as well as a vampire scent. Liam opened the door and was attacked by Tiana who thought of him as an enemy. Layna immediately rushed to help Liam. Tiana looked at Layna's eyes and bowed instantly in reverence.

"Greetings supreme alpha"

Layna cocked her brows in confusion. Some moments later they were all seated around the dining table trying to digest all that Tiana had said.

"So what you're trying to tell me is that there is a prophecy that says Layna will save the world or what was that again?" Asked May

" She is the predestined supreme alpha and she will unite the four races" Tiana explained

" There was also a vision the vampire seer received.... About Layna being my destined mate ... I don't really know the gist of it but Makasti tried all he could to stop it's fulfillment. I think it has something to do with the unity of the four races. " Liam said.

" Hold on ... So basically I'm the Supreme Alpha and there are other Alphas somewhere... It doesn't make sense " Layna inquired.

" Wolves live in packs and each pack is controlled by an Alpha whose second in command is the Beta. The Supreme Alpha on the other hand is the overlord of all werewolves and possibly all races in the lower realm. " Tiana explained.

Layna stood and rubbed her hair in frustration, " this is all fucked up shit" she cursed.

"The Alpha of Crystal Woods pack, your father instructed me to come help you with your meditation so you can break through the last barrier and gain your true powers." Tiana said.

" Oh... I see" Layna replied.

"But first I have to contact the Alpha and inform him that I've found you"

" And how are you gonna do that? " May asked

" By mind transmission "

Tiana sat down crosslegged and closed her eyes in a meditative position. The air was filled with the smell of spring and they were pulled into another place.
