Fated Souls (Unveiling Dawn)

Unveiling Eight

"Gudeving zemja na seftis. And for the other clans, herewith, you are all welcome to the coronation of the triumvirate of Sephtis Clan." The Sovet of Throne stated. Murmurs from different clans started to rise. "Guests of the Princesses, you are here to witness the awaited coronation of the rulers of this clan. No one can stop the ceremony unless you wanted to disappear in the cold wind."

Each and everyone of them are focused, listening and sorting everything that the Sovet of Throne is stating. This is the awaited coronation for the past hundreds of centuries. The Princess of Sephtis Clan. But little did the other clans know, Sephtis Clan doesn't only have one Princess, but three of them. Ito ang unang pagkakataon na nalaman nila ang tungkol dito. Tila ba isang malaking balita ang itinago sa kanila sa mga nakalipas na panahon. 

"Tonight, under the few and far between crescent crimson moon, we are gathered here together to witness and celebrate the coronation of the Triumvirate Princesses after the Great King Laomedos of Sephtis Clan. This coronation is the legal affirmation of the bonding that they had already begun. The coronation is one of the commitment to live that will allow you, Sephtis Clan, and your rulers, to share your lives together. No Clans were left behind to witness the first Triumvirate to be crowned. So, everyone down there in, on the ground floor of this courtyard. This will be the initial night that the Princesses will be seen. Let's watch as the fateful crowns land on the rightful heirs, the very epitome of the this world brought as one in honor, pride, amity, and candor. Keep your eyes open for we are about to proceed with the entrance of the Princesses."

"The First Princess of Sephtis Clan. Princess Amara. The Immortal Grace and Bitter." As she announced the first princess, Amara appeared. Wearing a beautiful red gown with her long black loose side braided hair, walking down the staircase with contentment and poise while holding her serpent. When she reach the ground, she walked towards her throne and stood up, waiting for the other princesses. 

"The Middle Princess. Princess Achlys of Sephtis Clan. The Mist of Death." As she was announced. Achlys walked down the carpeted staircase, wearing a black long gown, with her white lace braided hair across the top. Feeling every inch of the staircase, with valor and dignity. As she reached the end, she walked towards her throne, and waited for the last princess.

"The Last Princess. Princess Azrail. The Angel of Death of Sephtis Clan." As The Last Princess, Azrail, was revealed, she walked down the staircase with strength and power. She's wearing her white gown with her red eye level half up braided hair.  When Azrail reached her throne, together with Amara and Achlys, they started to state their oaths. 

"Our way is your way, our subject is your subject. May our heads on your path, our lives on your way be sacrificed for you. The wish of the wise ones, the will of the wise ones. As we wear the victorious crowns, for the trust of the Sephtis Clan together with our sectors, Celia and Nero Clan." The Princesses recites their oaths together.

"I ako ja prekršite zakletvata?" Asked the Sovet of Throne.

"We will be killed if we don't keep our word of honor. May we be slaughtered with our own swords, and gashed like soil. May we be forgotten by the covens despite of dignity and power. May we be burn into ashes, and be gone together with the wind of time. Without honor, nobility, and impartiality."

When they finished reciting the bond, The Sovet of Throne together with the council walked towards the princesses. As they kneeled down, the council blessed them with their swords.  After blessing them, the princesses sat down to their thrones as the council reached for their glistening crowns. This is the most awaited ceremony for the last thousands of years. The coronation of the ruler of Sephtis Clan. 

"To the North, South, East, and West of this Sphere. We crown thees Triumvirate, Queens of Septhis, and its sectors, Celia and Nero Clan." The Sovet of Throne said as they crown the Princesses and gave them their swords. "I present to you, The Triumvirate of Sephtis Clan. Your undoubted Queens."

"All hail the new Queens!"

As the their crown was worn by them, they stood up proud, head held up high as the royals of the other clans wore their crowns, so as their covens  bowed down for them. Rook and Fenrir made a noise as the covens are silently praising the queens. The new queens explored their land, observing and examining every vampire that is under them through their glimmering red eyes under the red bloody moon. 

"Yumuko kayo. Baka makita kayo ng mga reyna." Hila ng isa kay Sven sa kamay na sinunod naman niya. "Don't you know what to do?"

"I-I... Masyado lang kaming namangha sa mga reyna tulad ninyo." Sagot ni Sven. "Bow down morons." Pag hila din niya sa dalawa.

Nang matapos ang seremonya ay nagsitayo na ang mga bampira at nagsimula na ang kasiyahan. Iba't-ibang uri ng regalo ang inihahandong ng bawat angkan sa mga bagong reyna. The queens are just sitting on their thrones, looking at the courtyard where the vampires are having a blast. 

May kanya kanyang ginagawa ang mga nasa ibaba ng isang tunong mula sa metal ang narinig ng lahat. 

"Magandang gabi sa inyong lahat. Nais kong batiin ang mga bagong reyna. My Queens, welcome to our world." Sambit ng isa sa mga bampira na may hawak na kopa. "Tila hindi inaasahan ang biglaang pagdating ng hindi pang karaniwang buwan tulad ng mga bisita ninyo." May nakaka lokong ngiti sa labi na pagtutuloy ni Kasadeya.

"As much as we want to entertain your story, wala kaming makitang dahilan upang sirain mo ang gabing ito." Sagot ni Amara sa kanya. 

"Ganon ba? Ngunit hindi ako gumagawa ng kwento. I can smell you, My Queens, in them. Hindi ko malaman kung bakit hindi sila naamoy ng iba."

"I'm warning you to stop ruining my night, Princess Kasadeya." May otoridad na sabi ni Amara. Hinila naman siya palayo ng Reyna ng Baphoment upang ilayo sa atsensyon ng iba. The Clans continued with their blast nang hindi inaalintana ang iba. 

"Why did you let them go outside? You should know how to control them." Amara told Achlys and Azrail.

"You know that I don't care about those humans. Bakit ako mag aaksaya ng panahon para mag utos ng tagapagsilbi upang bihisan sila?" Sagot naman ni Azrail that made Amara look at Achlys. "Nawawala kana ba talaga sa katinuan, Achlys? Hindi ba ilang beses ko kayong sinabihan tungkol sa ibang angkan na pwedeng maka alam tungkol sa kanila? How will you protect your humans from them, then? Ha, Achlys?" Nauubos na pasensyang sabi ni Amara.

"Who told you that I'm protecting them?" Tanong ni Achlys na may nakakalokong ngisi. "I just want them to experience what they didn't and will never experience in their world. Don't you want to see them blending in, deceiving every stupid vampires that are present now here?"

"Ano ba talagang balak mo sa mga taong yan, Achlys?" Tanong ulit ni Amara sa kanya. 

"Mga? I just have one. I did not take home three. Just one. Sven's his name." Achlys answered bago tumingin kay Azrail. "What's the name of the other two again?" 

"I don't know and I don't want to know. Besides, I also only have in mind. I let Amara choose and she choice hers already." 

"Kailan ako pumili?" Gulat at takang tanong ni Amara na ikina ngisi ni Azrail. "Sniffy sniffing the human can symbolize as marking them. I can barely smell him." Kibit balikat na sagot nito bago tumayo. "I will look for Achates."

As Azrail was about to go down, isang kaguluhan ang nabuo sa ibaba ng courtyard na ikinatigil nila. Azrail looked at her right side at tanging si Amara na lamang ang nandon. 

"Sranya." Seryong sabi ni Amara at mabilis na bumaba kasama ni Azrail. Nadatnan nila si Achlys sa gitna ng mga nagkalat na bampira, hawak ang leeg ng prinsesa ng angkan ng Baphoment.

"You already received a warning from Queen Amara. But seems like you don't know how to follow orders. Hindi na akong magtataka kung bakit hindi ka pa rin kinokoronahan hanggang ngayon" Said Achlys without letting go of Kasadeya.

Kasadeya tried to fight back but Achlys is stronger than her that she can't even loosen the grip of Achlys in her neck. "Sino ka para mag pasok ng tao sa mundo natin?"

"Sino ka para husgahan ako sa loob ng kastilyo ko? Who are you to touch my human?"

"I see. I am not aware that the middle queen of the Sephtis Clan is Territorial." Nakakalokong sagot ni Kasedaya kahit nahihirapan na siya sa sakal ni Achlys. 

"This land is mine to rule, Princess of Baphomet Clan. I can own whatever and whoever I want." Achlys answered with pride. "I can make someone vanish in the darkness without leaving a mark, without anyone noticing it. Do you want that to be clearer? I can kill you right here, right now, because you dared to touch what's mine, My Highness."

"Achlys you better stop now!" Amara shouted at Achlys but she's not listening. "Put her down, Achlys!"

Achlys looked at them with red eyes as her fangs grew. She looked at Sven with Kaiden and Rainer beside him. "Welcome to your new world." As Achlys turned the courtyard in darkness, as she turned the humans life into one. Darkness. Evil. 

It's like the world stopped when Achlys reached for Kasadeya's neck. Screaming of Baphomet Clan is echoing in the courtyard, trying to please Achlys to let their princess go. But she is Achlys, she brings chaos. 

"No!"
