CHAPTER SIX-The Iron Wolves Of Legion
834 Words
The Legion clan does not welcome outsiders.
Chris and Eira were awakened by some strange powers that they felt….They both said together, “The moon-bound powers have been awakened.”
They felt so confused about the human vessel that carried such power….
They both agreed to table the issue with the Legion clan leader, because now that part of her powers was revealed, all seers in every clan, must have updated their leaders.
After walking in the woods with Eira for lots of hours, they were now in front of the boundary.
They walked into the village, with everyone, staring and wondering what prompted them to cross the boundary. Not like it was forbidden, but it was part of the clan rules. Some of them gave them dangerous stares.
They walked towards the palace.
Standing before them were two towering iron gates, as they slowly creaked open, revealing a fortress carved from black stone and steel.
Legion warriors lined the path inside, their dark armor. Every one of them looked ready to kill us at the slightest order given to them.
“This place feels creepy" Eira whispered.
“It’s supposed to," Chris replied.
As they stepped into the throne room, all movement stopped.
Then the warriors bowed, followed by Chris and Eira.
A tall figure from the shadows, stepped into the throne room. His coat flowed behind him, and he had scars marked on his skin.
The Legion Alpha
Alpha Draven Ashfall.
He sat on the throne.
His eyes burned crimson as he studied Chris and Eira silently.
Greetings my lord. They both greeted with a bow, as a sign of respect.
“To what do I owe this visit, getting my attention without a serious issue.…” “Either you are foolish……or desperate"
“ We're desperate” Chris answered.
His gaze on them became intense.
" And desperate people bring the most dangerous realities”
Some people refer to me as the iron wolf.
Eira stiffened beside Chris
Draven’s turned towards her immediately… “You reek of fear"
“For her," Chris replied boldly, without any sign of fear in his voice.
“Then speak," the Alpha demanded.
Chris took a deep breath. “Something has awakened in the Nightbound clan."
“A girl" Chris continued. “Human. But not truly human. She carries the Moon-Bound power.
The whole guard murmured…..
Draven's expression darkened, not for fear, but for the lust for power
“The moon has not chosen a vessel in centuries,” Draven said.
" She has….now” Chris defended.
Silence fell between them.
Draven turned away, pacing slowly.
" Do you know what happens when the moon chooses?" he asked.
" No” Eira whispered.
" War” he said sharply with a dark smile on his face. " Every clan will want her. Every throne will be built on her blood, lusting for it…..and more”
Part of Draven didn't believe them, so he ordered that the seers be brought forward. Their eyes glowed
" She's awakening, and an Alpha's marking is what's making her powers of the moon bound to awaken quickly.”
This made Chris so troubled….." Why will the Alpha, son of the Legendary killer, mark her…Is this still about her powers?"
Draven went further to question the seer…" Where?”..
“In the Night bound stronghold"
His jaw tightened.
Out of curiosity, Chris tried questioning the seer about who the human girl is…But Draven intercepted him with annoyance, telling him, " I make the rules and question here, boy,” with his fangs revealing gently…On second thought, he decided to grant his wish, seeing that Chris might have a way for him to get to the moon-bound vessel
" This human whom the moon chose as the vessel, is the girl you've been searching for….your sister….Lyra"
Chris and Eira gasped.
“My lord, you let her slip off your hands, she was part of your clan, living with the only soul whose existence in the world was great, and you were not suspicious of why she was the only human in the whole clan. You did not stop your people from hurting her emotionally"
Alpha Draven paced slowly….until and " Oh” slipped out of his mouth…
He said with anger, “The Nightbound won't have the right over her. She belongs here.”
Chris muttered inaudibly" The stupid, humiliating girl, you all hated, now belongs to you?”..... Such is life
Draven turned sharply and asked Chris, " But how come?”
Chris and Eira, standing silent and with confusion on their faces..
"How do you get away with such a lie?" Draven asked, his voice a low rumble. “Calling a human, your sister, when you're a werewolf by blood…. What secret are you hiding?..
The question threw Chris off balance, and he started stuttering….
" Speak.” Daren's voice, so heavy with authority, echoed harshly against the walls, making everyone in the hall tremble in fear…..
