The Lost Heiress

Three| The Past and the Prophecy

Andrea's Point of View.

After crossing streams, river, and woods, she's finally in another world-- the world of werewolves.

"I know that you have a lot of questions in mind Andrea." The elder said to her. He is right. There's alot of things she wants to know.

At the back of her mind, she still find this unbelievable. But since she's here already, it's now time to accept that they are true.

"Am I one of you?" She asked.

The elder smiled, "you are and at the same time you aren't."

That was vague. She could not understand. The Elder stood up and looked above, "You see, I was once an immortal. I achieved that gift when I turned into 300 years old from tue deities, but a sudden tragedy happened."

He began telling everything from the past.

Third Person's Point of View

20 years ago...

It was the reign of the beloved king of the Kingdom, Weregrandule, it's the land for werewolves, protected by the sacred veil to keep them apart from the human world.

The King's name was Silvero, he has the most beautiful fur in the whole land of Weregrandule, the whitest, the shiniest of them all.

The werwolves bloodline has five different factions, white which is the royalties, black which is the noble, red the warriors, the brown which is also referred as the nameless, and the gray which is the rarest.

The King was very just among all blood line, he never made any mistake by protecting the normal, and the rarest kind. To him, its the kingdom's duty to do so.

0l

He has only one daughter, his wife died after birth. His daughter is the most beautiful girl ever.

One day, the King announced something that changed the fate of the Weregrandule.

"I am getting old, so I need someone to be the future King. Everyone ages 18 and above who is intelligent, brave, and strong can apply to be the next King; with that condition, the future King will mary my lovely daughter, Minerva."

Everyone in the whole nation heard the announcement. It was a very humble announcement, a king can be chosen by character and not by race or kind.

Minerva was somehow nervous, but she knows that her love will be chosen.

Lucio is listening with his brother, "I am going to join, bro." He said. It was his dream to be a King.

"I am gonna join too." His brother said smiling.

Lucio was not amused by this, he thought that no matter who his competitor is he'll be the king, by hooked or by crooked.

That same day, at night, Minerva sneaked out. She misses her love so much.

She went outside the veil, and waited beside a cave. She has a look of human, and the cave is inside a forest so it's safe. She cannot wait to hug her beloved.

Lucio was anxious, he followed his brother, who thought that everyone was asleep. Since he is older, his ability starts to show, and he hid that fact to his brother. His ability is invisiblity. He can erase his presence and smell for a short period time. At the age of 22, he already enhanced his masterity of his ability, and

he already can make it manifest for an hour.

He was flabbergasted when his brotjer went out of the veil. It was designed that way. They can go in and out, but the humans can never go inside. Its for their protection in either way.

He continued following his younger bro. And shockingly, he saw his brother hugging a girl.

"He has a lover?" He thought to himself. Lucio could not see her face. He decided to come closer. And it was the Royal Princess!

He was furious. To him, it is betrayal. His brother is cunningly cheating to be the King! He went home with a flaming heart.

All candidates were summon at the palace, they will be trained, will be matched to fight against each other, until one will be left. They will be given an alias, that only him and the King knows.

His brother's Alias is Scar. He chose that. And Lucio desperately wants to be the King, that he chose it to be his alias. The King find it very clever and amusing.

The training started, they were taught a lot, since the two brothers were nobles, they were also trained since they were young, it was easy for them.

The total participants is 158. After the combat training which is a year after, they were down to 79.

They were trained for their abilities. All of the candidates were shocked when Lucio executes his ability. For them, it was a very great advantage. He agreed. He was confident.

In did not take long when Scar showed his.

"I call my ability "Chasing lights" I discovered my ability when I was 10." Upon saying that, they were all shocked, including Lucio. Ten is very early for an ability to manifest.

The King was pleased, but far from impressed. It seems that he knows about it. Very suspicious. Minerva laughed, "Mine manifested when I was 13." Her Father laughed.

"It rarely comes out, until I was 17." Scar continued. "I was 17 when I learned how to control it."

He then executes his ability. He close his eyes, and in a split of second he was moving fast and he looks like a small light in the naked eye. You can never see his body, and can never predict his move. His like a flash light.

"I see now why it's called Catching Lights. We can never catch your lights!" The King said. Everyone laughed.

Lucio was not pleased. He nevee knew about his brother's identity. And the crowd loved his brother and forgotten him.

The training lasted for 2 more years. They were taught in how to use their ability in combat.

79 participants were called for the battle. Everyone in the Kingdom came to watched it.

Lucio was the first to have a battle, he will compete with a Pyrokinetic. Which only lasted for a minute. He used his invusibility and jumped high, somersaulted in the air and kick Piro on the back, his face was pinned on the ground. He almost lost consciousness. Lucio wins.

Other candidates fought, and Scar was the last one. Since they are 79, Scar does not have a competitor. Bliss, one of the strongest sorcerer in the Kingdom, was chosen to fight Scar.

Bliss flicked his fingers and he was teleported on the back of Scar, he made him blew away with a magic speech, "Fly."

He expected Scar to fall and be unconscious, am be defeated. But Scar used his Catching Lights that even Bliss used his Night Vision, He cannot see Scar's movement. Bliss used his magic, "Perception" to predict his next movement, but he couldn't. Scar attackes him, and before Scar can punch his face, he surrendered that led to Scar's victory.

At last it was over. Two candidates were left, the brothers.

The King called tye two for the last battle.

"Why do you want to be a King?" The King asked. "You have seven days to think for the answer. And the one who will have the right answer will be the next King."

They returned home.

Minerva met with Scar near the cave again. She hugged him because they did not see each other for three years.

"I missed you so much." She said.

"I missed you too." He said back.

It was a long hug full of love, desire, and longing. They freed each other, and kissed. The kiss was full of warmth and embrace. He misses her so much He then, carried her and brought her inside the cave, he lay her down carefully.

He stared at her, "I love you so much."

"I love you too." Minerva smiled. He started to kiss her again. His hands began to undress her, and touched her most hidden part. "You are so beautiful." He said between their kisses.

He made her thighs apart to see her most, his head went down the area and inspected there that made Minerva utter words of pleasure.

He started to undress himself, and he began to enter his to hers.

They changed pleasures, love, and desire with each other, breath to breath, skin to skin... and with the moon as a witness, they became one.

Soon, seven days had past, the broters were summoned to give their answers to the King.

"What is your answer?" The King asked them.

Lucio answered first, "I want to be the most powerful person in this nation. I want to be the King who will protect the throne, and will be feared by all." Lucio did not do any thinking at all for the past seven days, because he knows the answer already, the moment he heard the announcement that day.

The King nodded, acknowledging his answer.

Scar gave his answer, "I want to be the King to maintain the peace and unity of all kind. I do not want to change the way things are now... But if I will be the next King, I will develop the ways more for the sake of the people. I admire you as a King, Your Majesty, but I know that  the time will pass and people will change, and I will go through it, develop what needs to be developed and will help the werekind live with harmony all throughout my reign."

The King nodded to acknowledge his answer as well. "Very good young men. I will summon you one day to declare the result. But no matter what the result would be, always remember that desire of your heart and become a very brave, strong, and kind wereman."

They bowed down and left.

The King called hia board right after that. And Lucio was very eager to know the result. He decided to use his ability and stayed behind.

He stood beside his father, Ludociel, one of the counsel, and listened.

"Do you have the result Your Majesty?" The Elder, Lupaz asked.

The King nodded. Lucio smirked. He was right. The King already decided.

"I want to congratulate Ludociel. You raised two brave wereman." The King said.

His father stood and bowed.

"But I only need one King. And that is tje King with a heart for the peace and harmony." After hearing that, Ludociel knew it was not him. He never talked about peace sh*t.

He walked out of the palace. He ran away, after the announces that the King he chose is the one called Scar. No one knows who that is, aside from the King, his brother, and him.

He ran away. And gather people who feared him because of his ability.

He planned something hideous. He managed to gather 120 army consisting of black and red werewolves.

A month before the enthronement for the new King, one full night, he and his army went to the palace unannounced, and with a will to kill all white werewolves.

"Kill the Princess. I will kill the King, myself." He said to the girl with red hair, Gloxinia.

"My lady, please run away!" Minerva's personal maid said to her.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"There is a treason happening. You need to escape!"

She used her telepathy to talk to her beloved. "There is an intruder in the palace. He is planning to kill us. Help my Father."

She did not wait for Scar to arrive. She found out not long ago that she is pregnant, she needs to be safe for the sake of the baby, she sneaked out like she used to do, and ran away.

"I will ran away from the Weregrandule. Please protect this Kingdom..."

Scar heard Minerva's voice in his sleep. He woke up and ran towards the palace. When he went inside the King is already dead.

He was very shocked when he saw who was the one who committed treason...

"Well, well, well, it's my brother." Lucio said smiling like a devil, holding the bloody head of the King.

"What are you doing, Lucio?" He demanded answers.

It made Lucio furious. He turned invisible and appeared in front of Scar, he uses his nails and scarred his brother face.

Scar screamed in agony. It did not take that long and he uses his sword, and stabbed his youmger brother on his tummy.

"At last," Lucio laughed. I am now the King."

He commanded Bernes, an archer warrior to dispose all the bodies.

Bernes went out of the veil, he went inside the woods and he saw a cave, he crossed that cave and was welcomed by another forest, a dark forest. He decided to bury all the bodies there.

He was about to bury Scar's body, that it suddenly moved... To survive, he used his knife and slashed Bernes' throat. He buried Bernes on the ground.

After that, Lucio never saw him again.

After a month, Lucio's dream came true. He became the King of Weregrandule, feared by everyone.

He married a lot of women, every women he finds to be beautiful should be given to him, without question, or else you will be dead.

He became known as the ruthless and cruel King ever. Everyone thought that the previous King made a mistake by choosing the next King. They never knew about the treason he committed. They said that the King died because of illness and the princess died because of sadness. For many years, the truth was buried.

Eight months of his reign, Lucio dreamed something weird and horrible. He dreamed that he will be killed by someone he did not see who it was but he felt like it was real.

He jolted and woke up, sweating and breathing heavily.

"Call Lupaz now!" He shouted.

Lupaz is a seer. He can see the future.

"Explain my dream!" Lucio commanded.

Lupaz said in five different voices which is actually creepy for Lucio, "It happened! Another prophecy happened! A werebaby was born, and the baby will be the strongest and mightiest warrior of all! This child will conquer the nation and will bring peace to the Kingdom!"

"What do you mean another prophecy?" Lucio asked.

"You are a prophecy Majesty. The previous King tried to prevent his fate to happen by giving a chance to everyone to be a King, but the prophecy was fulfulled! He was killed by a man with a metal hand ad a stone heart, and that ia you Majesty."

Lucio was distressed, he drawn the golden sword and killed Lupaz!

"I must stopped that s**t to happened!" He shouted.

He called all black werewolves in a secret meeting, "Black will be the new royal blood! Kill all the nameless! Those are all bunch of idiots. They don't have any ability so it will be easy for you to do that! It is a royap command!" Lucio declared.

Death after death after death, and the brown kind disappeared.

He woke up again with the same dream. He knew that the baby is still alive! He gathered all the black werewolves once again and said, "Kill all the babies no matter what kind!"

They complied, afraid to bw killed. The black wereman, killed her own newborn son to save himself and his wife. It was horrifying for everyone.

Another night of dream and he commanded the royal army to kill all the warriors.

And the red werewolves disappeared without trace.

Scar hid himself as a rarest, but became a spy to the Kingdom and any happenings on the nation. He heard about the endless killings of the black werewolves, he began to plan about saving the werekind! He did his best to pursue all of the rarest kind and escape. Some of them were killed but they managed to escape. They went out of the veil and ran away from their nation.

They crossed the forest and Scar brought them to his hideout the cave. And for seventeen years, gray werewolves lived there in peace.

Mendez celebrated his 300 years, and while he sleeps, the deity visited him and told him that he obtained immortality because of his purest heart. He was delighted, but he wanted something else.

"I am happy to be noticed by you, but there's something else that I desire." He said.

"What is it?" The deity replied.

"I want to became a seer like my grandchild Lupaz, I want to help my nation by knowing the future."

The deity was very pleased because of his desire. It granted him long life and the ability to see the future.

That's when he announced the prophecy the current King feared to happen.

A savior.

At last there was hope.
