The Wolflan King

A blessing or a curse?

Lilith

Words are a tool of great magic, but sometimes they fall dreadfully short, devoid of the justice passion deserves. Each footprint I left behind was swallowed under the rolling dunes, a traceless existence. 

As my body became aligned with the apex of the Oracle, the atmosphere seemed to shift, and every particle floating above following the veil grew malevolent, forming an asphyxiating bubble inside my lungs. 

It was almost hypoxic, an entirely new level of terrifying. Just like a fish out of water, I was drowning. And, right at this moment, four magnificently large marble eyes sealed for many a millennium aroused to glimpse the prophesized one. 

The blue angel. 

That was me. To be honest, I've only ever been a prisoner. How could I be anything more? There had to be some mistake; anything else was ludicrous. 

Suddenly, their voices brought me to my knees, debilitating as a trumpeting siren call. The film of reality swayed now quite flimsy and irrelevant.

The grain was changing right before my very eyes, and what was once rock transformed into blushed flesh. I could barely see their reflections as they hung in the smothering darkness. 

"Where am I... Who are you?"

"Before Lunach the Albino claimed the erect phallus of night, we remained. I am Sol."

"And, I am Nott."

Together they held clasped hands, both complete opposites yet coexisted harmoniously—two halves of a whole. The shadowed one's ruby lips furrowed, intrinsically speaking in melodic rhythm. 

"You've chosen Lilith over Lalaina. Why?"

"As Laina, I am only the sparse remains of a defiled corpse. She was a prisoner and victim of circumstance. As Lilith-Jane, I will shed that skin and play the distressed damsel no longer."

She smiled, illuminating a toothless grin, which was stunning, but unnerving at the same time. 

"Hmm, you have done the impossible and brought a smile to my heart, and so I gift you with the forbidden sight. Use it as you wish, but be wary; few who search for answers are happy with what they find. Journey well, Princess."

Couldn't someone just pinch me?

With a sigh and a shrug, I slowly walked across the obscure corridor resounding in hollow echoes tapping below. Stepping out, I expected to see familiar creatures of men and wolves, but I was greeted by something else altogether.
