Prologue: In the name of the council
Alexis Hawcroft
Dangerous.
That was what anyone present at the Bleeders council was. Behind those natural pretty face they were dangerous.
Take my mistress for example. She was fair haired, her fair bangs were trimmed down to her cheek. She had a natural blush on her pale skin.
Her features were soft and comforting. My mistress was naturally petite even though as the Titan she was she was so much taller than me in her form.
Her eyes were a deep ocean of black, just like those thick eyelashes of hers.
She was dressed in a white balowy gown. The right sleeve was just held together by a small golden clip, and left was just sleeveless.
Her makeup were light, it was only natural that she didn't need much of it as a Titan-- They were all incredibly beautiful.
But as the saying goes The Devil Wears Prada. In their case it was they were quite literally monsters on beautiful skin.
Even the so called seraphims. They looked so beautiful with their glowing porcelain skin. Then there was the warmth that dripped from their voice.
Their beautiful were capable of making one awestruck.
The Seraphims were the only creatures at the council to pay mind to us slaves by paying us a glance.
We were tiny compared to the Titans at the Bleeders council. The giant like height were a natural trait that they were only that way during these meetings.
My mistress was average sized back at the castle.
The seven sits for the councilmen and women stood largely.
Lady Calista O'Shere sat at the sixth sit. That woman was poisonous. I suppose you could say it was natural trait that Titans were so poisonous and diabolical.
But it was safe to say that Lady Calista O'Shere took it took to an entirely different level. She murdered her Lord with her bare hands.
She was bronzed skin. Her Honey-brown eyes were mossy, and her long hair was nut-brown. Lush, silky and long. She had a subtle squared like jaw.
Her eyelashes were scanty but curled. She too wore a white dress only hers were entirely sleeveless, less balowy, and pushed up her plump chest.
Just like the other Titans this higher-ups had gold and silver jewels adorning her.
You could almost taste the air of poison around us.
Mistress tugged my leash to follow her movements.
I took my place on the ground as my mistress sat on the fourth throne made for her.
The other Titans took their place. The beauty radiating from them had the other slaves restless.
I could see the desire for them in their eyes, they must not have been with their masters long enough.
That desire would soon die and rebirth into fear at the sight of their masters soon enough. It was a matter of time.
Lord Uther-- The King of all Titans took his sit as the tallest and the mightiest. The Titan barely looked thirty.
He had thick chocolate orbs that had no emotion in them. He had an aristocratic nose, firm pale lips.
His face was angular. This Titan was perfectly brawny, his hard muscles contracting with each movement.
His hair was summer blonde. It was stylishly cut yet locks of it still managed to fall on his eyes. His skin was the definition of perfect sun-kissed.
He had earrings on the lobe of his right ear, glinting pure gold.
From the few times I'd ever been unfortunate to meet him I was well aware that Lord Uther was a ruthless man.
His entirety barely spoke any emotions.
Lord Uther wore a short sleeved grey robe that touched the grounds. The robe was a button up from the line of his torso to up his turtleneck.
His hands were released from behind his back as he a took a sit. "Bring forth The Triling Genesis" He said, commandment dripping from his tone.
The guards at the hall door quickly opened it. Two Seraphim soldiers came forth with someone familiar.
They held Genesis Mikaelis in chains. A smirk was on her face as they pulled her forward.
That's Genesis Mikaelis! Third child of Raaven Mikaelis. Everyone who knew the Titan history knew of Raaven Mikaelis.
Raaven was the King of the Seraphim. Genesis was the w***e daughter, begotten by a promiscuous mother who "whored" herself around to a mortal being.
Genesis was a Triling. The fifth ever in history. She was part Titan, part human, then she was part ουδέτερος or as her people called it neodrach-- neutral.
Even more diabolical than the Titans themselves, Neutrals were fallen Seraphims, revoked of their titles as Seraphims.
The name Neutrals were given to them because they were neither a creature of darkness neither were they a creature of light anymore. So they were just Neutral.
But that meant they were worse than Titans. They were fraudulent, diabolical, promiscuous, conniving, and polygamous.
Well that last part was normal for Titans.
Genesis was not like the other Titans. Sure her beauty could leave one bewildered.
With the way her sliver hair had brown strands in them that dirtied them. Her dirty silver hair was unevenly short to her cheekbones, styled purposely as an uneven fringe.
Genesis had porcelain vibrant skin that it made her glow in the tight black pants she wore, with a lose grey V neck top and a black leather jacket to top it.
Her jaw was a sharp V.
Her eyes were almond shaped, and her orbs were vibrant ruby red, like a demon.
Her eyelashes had thin fair layers on the black ones. Her long elf-like ear sticking out of her hair, and her plump lips all naturally puckered.
Genesis was beautiful but unlike every other immortal Genesis's outer skin did not hide the monster inside.
Genesis was absolutely terrifying with the bold thick black ink tattoo right from further down her to up her neck and stops on her right cheek.
The tattoo was of a large snake with ruby red eyes. I had heard stories that the tattoo was a curse, given to her by her mother, I wasn't quite sure, the stories of Genesis were legendary and all different.
It was like that with the Mikaelis.
Her black heeled boots clicked as she strode to the court majestically as if she was not clapped in chains.
There was a short silence as she stood before the council.
"Genesis Eretraia Mikaelis," Lord Uther said, as if he was tasting the name on his tongue.
A chill ran through my bones hearing his voice, Genesis on the other hand bowed rather dramatically with a smirk in response.
"Lord Uther Levitus Faelern." She spat back with a bundle of humor.
Lord Uther seemed unaffected by her wistful retort, he just wore his usual blank expression.
"The Bleeders Court charges you for torturing and murdering Raaven Mikaelis--The Seraphim Lord," Lord Uther said, she rolled her eyes.
"Toture? I wish I could've tortured the bitch." She retorted with the same smirk she wore on.
"So you do admit to killing your father w***e daughter?" Lady Calista quipped, a genuine look of curiosity crossing her face.
Genesis c****d her head to the side as she replied, "Yes I most certainly did psychotic b***h," Genesis's retort was witty.
She seemed like an ant compared to the rest of the Titan. She was only half Titan-- A mongrel is what my mistress called her.
"You do understand the punishment for such a crime Genesis?" There was a hint of confusion in Lord Uther's tone.
"I do." Was what Genesis simply replied with.
"You will be stripped of your powers. Shamed naked in front of the Seraphim worshippers, after series of torture you will stoned to death, and your soul damned to Hades." My mistress voiced out the repercussions of what Genesis had done.
To everyone surprise her smirk held. "On the bright side I will get to dine with Hades again," Genesis said.
It was confusing the amusement dancing in her eyes. She was a demi-god if I may, standing I'm front of giant Titans for the trial of the death of her father, yet she bloomed like a woman ready to return home to a ravenous feast.
She cracked, and busted into a chuckle. "For the love of Bright Summit when will you all understand that my leadership will not start with my death but will send a beacon of new authority to my people and my worshippers?" She announced, her voice louder than before.
Her two long canines from both sides of her showed off at her outburst.
Genesis's entirety was frightening for a half--Titan.
"So much hope coming from a dead leader?" Lord Hephastion another one of the Seven Titans taunted.
She snapped her neck at Lord Hephastion. "I have no plans of dying today music boy" Even with the smirk on her face everyone could obviously see the seriousness of her demeanor.
How could she say that? How could she mean that?
"You marked your destiny the moment you killed Raaven." My mistress said.
"Excuse me Eurydice but the fates haven't decided my course yet but I know it has nothing with dying just yet. Rafaela was a pest to the Council, he only ever sought for power, to him the alliances with the other Titans was non void," Genesis voiced, lifting her hands that was clapped in heavy chains as she did.
"So you took it upon yourself to end a Titans of the Bleeders Council?" Lord Uther asked with slight irritation buried within.
Genesis cast her eyes to my mistress. Eyeing me as she did. I instinctively squirmed at her gaze.
Genesis was dangerous. Half Titan or not they were all terrifying.
Her gaze held for a little while I recognized the look that contorted on her face.
Disgust.
Titans didn't do too well with pets. Especially one like me, a wolf shifter. We were lower and disgusting, especially as I wore nothing but black tight leather pants and diamond stunned earrings piercing my n*****s.
My tail instinctively curled around me by the power of her gaze.
She shifted her eyes from me to Lord Uther.
"He would have much rather destroyed you all easily. Killing a Titan who is plotting against the seven other Titan is not a crime Uther. You can see as I rendered you all my help and for free at that." There was no doubt some dark humor in the air around what she said, she destroyed a Titan who sought to betray the council.
"Burn in Tartarus you w***e daughter" Lord Cassander another Titan quietly sneered.
Genesis turned to the young Titan with a dearing smirk. "Been there, done that, get your facts straight c**k sucker."
Lord Cassander turned beet red. Already bristling in anger, much to Genesis's amusement.
"Raaven was one of the strongest Titan, how are we sure that you-- Halfling mongrel did manage to destroy?" Lord Hephastion asked.
The smirk broadened. "He was gutted and thrown into the Archeon river, you need prove of his death, ask Charon how bothered he was with his sleeping last month." She replied rather wistfully, and that had many of the Titans irritated.
"I see," Was all Lord Uther said.
"Uther you're not actually considering letting her go unattended are you?" My mistress asked rather distressed that Lord Uther was considering it.
Lord Uther said nothing. He seemed deep in thought.
He was considering it.
"Uther she murdered a Titan." Lady Calista quipped acidly.
"Exactly. The half-Titan was capable of destroying a Titan." Lord Uther remarked, staring down at Genesis
"No the halfling scum murdered the second member of the council. A Titan." Lord Cassander countered.
Lord Uther rolled his eyes. "Yes! And Zeus is married to his sister. Are we all done stating facts now?" Lord Uther's voice went a little higher.
Everyone kept their mouths shut.
"You. Halfling. Make no mistake you will be punished but you will not die. You will go back to your territory and lead your people over your siblings. That is my judgement." Lord Uther declared.
There was a strain in the air. Everyone was obviously not happy with Lord Uther's judgement. Well everyone except Genesis.
"How can you make such a judgement without Loki?" Lady Calista suddenly quipped turning to Lord Uther.
Genesis's eyes narrowed. "The Norseman have finally grown bored of these time demanding meetings." Genesis's unnecessary humor summoned glares down on her.
"I did not realize I needed a discarded Norse god present to cast my judgement Calista?" The strain in Lord Uther's voice was clear.
And that day it was stamped.
Genesis had won.
