CHAPTER 2-TRAIN TO CONQUER
1125 Words
He finally reached the first challenge which was to howl at different intervals when needed.
It was at the full moon that he was meant to howl and so did as necessary.
He passed through that challenge with a breeze and succeeded to the next one.
The next challenge was to succeed his leadership over a group of clans. He fought hard and finished that challenge as quickly as he started.
He then walked up to the last challenge which was to prove his Alpha instincts and find the hidden weapon.
He scouted through the place before he finally found a place just the way his father described it.
'It will be a place scouted with different form of decorations and a beautiful scenery will lots of flowers and conquers of the past', thoughts of his father's words came flashing back.
He opened a door next to a wall of brown painted scenery and found the weapon awaited for him inside.
Nothing could separate him from the weapon as he stared it right in the eye. The weapon was beautiful with silver blades and a wooden handle. It was also capable of conquering any possible clan in the dimension.
He pulled the weapon out of the wardrobe and raised it above his head.
That symbolized the experience of authority and unlimited power.
The weapon was at its stale form but could only be made powerful again through ancient incantations and the abilities of his ancestors.
Without further ado, he left the premises leaving not a trail behind him.
When he returned to his office he then sent for the Beta and the leader in command for a brief talking to.
"Begin training the clans and get ready for battle", Alpha instructed while focusing on the Beta.
"Yes, sir", the beta responded saluting and portraying a bow signaling a sign of respect.
He then turned to face Damilare.
"Make sure you keep this place safe and avoid any attack from other clans I don't want to come back here and begin to figure out that we have received a conquer", Alpha said seriously.
Damilare portrayed a bow in accordance to what the Alpha just said. He then told the Beta to gather up the clans while he then decided who fight and who does not.
One day later.......
It took a day for them to begin preparations. They began training immediately while some ignorant members disliked the hard labour that they performed.
"Why is he forcing us to do this. Can't he just do it himself", a member of the clan asked ignorantly.
"Me self I don't even know. He just sits back while we do all the dirty work and he leads us", the second member illustrated.
It took a while for Alpha Nickles to begin sorting the good from the bad as he spent most of his time trying to figure out a way to contact his ancestors in order to get the weapon up and running.
His father didn't really state facts on how to contact the ancestors but he did give him an ornament capable of contacting the ancestors.
His only problem was that he did not know how to operate that too. He tried crying out to his ancestors but they did not answer.
He then performed a sacred dance he saw his father performed before he died.
Even so, he still couldn't contact the ancestors. It began to feel that the ancestors were ignoring him.
He was then found in his office when a thought of words said by his father began to flashback in his mind.
He couldn't really tell of what the words were as it was said lots of years ago but still held a huge urge to think deeper.
"They will only answer people who are pure of heart", the Alpha then remembered and soliloquized.
Those thoughts made him angry as he felt like a person who was surely pure of heart, or had he done anything wrong.
He spent hours thinking before he finally realized the book containment that they possess in their dimension.
He then sent for the Omega who was about 200 years older than him to retrieve the book.
"Go down to the sacred book containment and bring any book with a content of how to become pure of heart", the Alpha instructed.
The Omega even though older than him obeyed the order without asking questions as he knew that the Alpha hated questions. It was described as a sacred tradition from the ancestors that all Alphas are rulers and their decisions are final.
It was also declared that there cannot be more than one Alpha. This was experienced during the regime of his father when he became Alpha.
The next place the Omega found himself is the book containment. It was full of books that all possessed different contents.
Now, this dimension had a characteristic of only having one content per book. This means only one book can possess a specific content.
The benefit about it is that there are so many books that differ in choices so the selections become more tricky and broad.
The place was big and just as the compartment of where the weapon was held, it had a brown structure and different fire lanters that hung around the ceiling.
He followed the sign boards placed at different intervals to show where he was going to.
He then found the book he was looking for and returned back to the Alpha.
"Here is the book you seek", the elderly Omega said.
"Thank you", the Alpha said as he bid him farewell.
He then opened the book sealed by the revolting skin of conquered enemies symbolising victory and authority.
He scrolled to when the page which he had been searching for was found.
'Only one who possess a good heart unto all clans can be called a pure of heart', the book read.
This was a quality that was possessed by his father and not his mother and to him he got most of his traits from his mother.
When he read down it also stated that 'If you can conquer a colony you can also be proved as a pure of heart'.
These words gripped on to the Alpha and didn't let go. He had never conquered a colony before but knew that this was his chance. So with that, he rushed to the training ground.
"How is it going?", the Alpha asked the Beta.
"Great, we are really training up real warriors", the Beta said confidently.
The Alpha smerked and began to select out people to fight and people to stay back and defend with the leader in command as they progress to battle.
