Arlinas POV
I feel like im floating in a lake, but everything is completely dark. I hear so many whispers but this beautiful voice is calling me "Come to me my child" It says. I open my eyes at the sound and soon golden ropes grab onto my arms and pull me above the water surface. A blinding light reaches my eyes causing me to squeeze them tightly. "Am I dead?" I asked no one in particulsr. A melodic laughter is heard behind me and I whirl. "oh no child, if anything you have just been reborn. I have story to tell. Sit my child, sit." the beautiful woman with long silver locks, and angelic glowing skin said. I say nothing and sit beside her on a log.
"17 years ago a war was in movement among the earth. There were four Kingdoms, but one ruled over all. That kingdom was the Lycan Kingdom. Lycans were superior species. Among the Lycans, were the three other kingdoms. The Hellion Kingdom, which consisted of demons, vampires and goblins. The Fae Kingdom, which consisted of Fairies and Mermaids, also known as Water Nymphs. Lastly, The Dreamers Kingdom, which consisted of only one kind, the Dreamers. The Hellion kingdom believed that they were the superior species and wanted to rule over all. The Lycan Royal family had known of their gossip and made sure all areas of the kingdom were protected. The Queen was Dreamer, but also was blessed as a visionary. She knew that her family would become scarce, only few of the royal lycans would remain. The only living heir would be found and her life would change drastically. " the angelic woman looks at me intently to see if I am listening. "The demons began to make attempted attacks on the lycan kingdom until they found out that the queen was to give birth soon. So the found that was the perfect time to destroy the lycans. Once the king and queens heir was born, that night the goblins, demons, and vampires all worked together to destroy the kindgom. They tried to find the heir, but soon found out that she was taken by the dreamers and protected until she came of age. The dreamers believed that the baby born was to bring complete balance so they took it upon themselves to take care of the girl. Do you understand where I am going with this my child?" she asks "Are you telling me, my suspicions of being adopted were right?" She had a sad smile on her face. I knew I was, my parents seem mere human. Sometimes they do talk in riddles but I just thought of that as a part of their personality. "Your parents arent human my dear." the woman says.I look at her curiously "Although they appear human, they have magical elements to them. They are dreamers. The term a human would use is a witch. They do spells and what not, but most of their power is towards walking in the dream realm. Kind of like spies if you will."
My mind is reeling right now, what am I? Where do I even come from, what are my parents to me? Gosh all this is so much to take in, I just want to smell that yummy leatherwood and amber right now. That beautiful woman has told me so much in what feels like 5 minutes I dont know what to say. "Oh my dear, My name is Selene by the way." She smirks "My sister fate knew the wars were to come, you see we had a meeting before you were born, the other gods and goddesses wanted peace, one god wanted them to unbind his children to the night, none of those foolish beings understood there wont ever be peace, just balance. Thats where you my dear come in. Now do you remember how I said the queen of the lycans was a dreamer?" I nodded "Well my dear, that queen was your mother. You are a hybrid my child. A Lycan and Dreamer." I stared at her dumbfounded, Im a what? Oh lord Fate works in mysterious ways! I LITERALLY AM TAKING A MYTHICAL LYCANTHROPY HISTORY CLASS! Selene chuckled "Your mind is quite funny dear, but you are quite right Fate is a woman with michevious tendancies, I'd know thats my sister. Anyways, that leads us to your parents my child, they were bestowed on you by myself, because we needed the lycan throne to stay on top. I do not care what the other gods and goddesses bicker about, the visions the oracles have seen if it were to fully fall, would destruct every realm, including the humans." I just stare at her gawking "Are you saying that I am a queen? Wait. Me ? As a queen? I think you got the wrong person." Selene chuckled "oh my sweet child, didnt you ever wonder why your senses were heightened? Or why you're more agile than those of ur highschool class mates? Or how about the dreams you've had that turned out true? You're the last royal of your kind my dear." I was speechless. Then my original smell filled my nose, it was ten times stronger here on this plane though. I turned where the smell was strongest and there stood the most beautiful Lycan, her fur reflected the sight of the moon. Her white fur actually reflected in the sun making her shine bright. Beside her was a magnificent wolf, her coat almost the same as the Lycan. I stood up confused but in awe. As if reading my thoughts Selene spoke "These two my dear are your Lycan and Wolf part, only the royal family has both, but you my dear are so special, I gave you a wolf with my essence. Hence the gold flakes. You will find out soon what she is capable of. Please, meet, Estiya, The Last Lycan of Royal Blood, and Estrella, My daughter."
Estrella pranced around me in circles, playfully nipping at my toes, and the Lycan was just gazing at me with amazement and pride. Estiya spoke much to my amazement "I picked you when you were born young one, I will show you all there is to know to the world, its past, present, and future. I feel a great honor to be your Lycan part, you are as strong as Id imagined youd be" She gave a big toothy grin, then suddenly burst into a gold mist that soon enveloped me, the mist scattered along the lengths of my body seeping into my skin, turning into a circular golden magic rune on my heart. I then started to feel a buzzing in my mind and let it free, I heard estrella, how I knew it was her blew my mind. "What she said girlfriend" I chuckled, out of the two I can tell Estrella is full of sass, they definitely represent me because I do have sass but I am also classy. Estrella started running around me, faster than what she had been doing before. The faster she went I could see silver, and gold flecks start dispersing from her magnificent form. The same that Estiya did, Estrella did as well, her gold and silver flecks seeped into my skin and formed another circle around Estiyas rune, but what was different about Estrellas is she had stars, and one full moon around her circle. It looked beautiful, this was basically my first tattoo. Im so reeling right now, what the hell is going on? I glanced up at Selene and she clearly knew what I was going to ask as she opened her mouth "My child, now is the time for hard obstacles, half truths, and prosperity. You will face all of these, I do hope my sister is right on how you will lead your kind. I must say, watching you grow into the beautiful human being you are, I have faith you will. Now I do believe you have a mate that is waiting for you." I knew I looked confused, confused because Selene giggled before she said "A mate is your other half my dear, a soulmate in human terms. I made him for you." She said with a big grin, with that she kissed my forehead and I felt like I was falling back in to the abyss of my mind. I started to open my eyes but the light in the room I was in, was so blinding I could swear I was gonna go blind. I heard the most sexiest voice every telling someone to turn the light down, and with that my eyes flew open, as my body jolted up right.
