Never After: The Curse of The Ruined

Prologue Once upon a time, Before the city has beam lights, before the people has freedom, before everything isn't like we used to. There was a very beautiful sweet boy, an infant indeed who was left into the deep part of the forest, into the darkness within the woods by his own mortal parents. He was left in that hell when he's only an hour old not knowing what danger really is. He was left in that darkness for the wild animals and other creatures to kill and eat him alive. He was left in that pits with no one to see him or even remember him or no one even knew that someone like him exist. But the GOD sees him, the GOD heard him, the GOD watched him. Zeus Lycaeus, watched the sweet innocent little boy abadoned in that deep woods. He couldn't even explained why, for all the people he sees getting killed and tortured each day, there was something to that little child when he heard him plead with crying for him to save the child. And he did. He saved the boy, he touches every dangerous wild animals for them to raised the boy like they are. Foxes, Lions, Tigers, All the animals in that woods raised the boy like their own. A little King in the jungle, indeed. For sometime, Zeus inviting the boy in his pedestal from above. Zeus has been trying to have a child of his own, to no avail. And the little boy surely filling the void that Zeus wanting to have for so long. Zeus was the little boy's father. Growing up in the wild, the little boy has everything he asked for. The little boy grew up strong and powerful just like a real Child of Zeus. Zeus couldn't be proud more. He named the boy, Lycaon. Next to his name. His own prodigy. Many years later, Zeus announced tgat he will have his own blood and flesh of a Son. Lycaon instead of gettinf jealous and insecure, being a kind hearted and grateful, he was so happy and contented for his father to have a child of his own. For him, he was grateful and happy enough that Zeus let him live and have a life of his own. Lycaon was only twelve years old when Apollo came into the world. Zeus couldn't express how happy he is when he first hold onto his son. Lycaon was also there to see whose going to be his little brother, and the one he's going to protect all his life, as per Zeus' words. Lycaon was so happy, he has a purpose and a job for his life. Many year have passed, Lycaon grew up even more stronger and powerful. Zeus made Lycaon to be the Lycan King of the Kings. He gave him enough power to rule the world. Apollo grew up to be Lycaon's shadow. He is the real son of the God but he was not strong and powerful enough like Lycaon. Apollo grew up with envy and jealousy towards Lycaon. But Lycaon loves the little boy with all his heart. Lycaon got married to a very beautiful princess from whales. Princess Magdalene. Zeus was happy that Lycaon will soon welcome his first child, but Apollo has different plan. Every year, the gates of heaven will open for Lycaon and his family to go up for the feast of the Gods. Every year, Lycaon will have a whole fresh lamb to sacrifice for the greatness of the Gods. But instead of a Lamb to sacrifice, Apollo, killed an innocent child and switched the lamb's meat into that sweet child. The God Zeus fend himself with a human meat and was enraged when he figures out what he was eating. For the Gods to be sacrificed a human flesh is something unspeakable to do. It was meant disrespect and disowning the power of the Gods. Lycaon was trying to explain what is happening but Zeus was so consumed by rage and madness. All of the Gods wanted to have Lycaon and his wife's head, but for Zeus it wasn't enough for the betrayal that he did. He cursed Lycaon and all of Lycaon's blood to be something monstrous and all of the people will fear them. He cursed Lycaon to be something that in his own words "Something you grew up with" He cursed Lycaon to be much wild than the Fox, much ragvage than a Lion and much monstrous than the Tiger who Lycaon grew up with. He cursed him to be the very first Werewolf as he called it. A big, ravage, monstrous dog-like that wants blood and flesh other than anyone else. Lycaon was trying to explain but it all planted well. Lycaon didn't even know that it was his little borther's doing, smiling behind his father's back, watching the rage and scene unfolding from his very own eyes. Zeus diswoned Lycaon and every bloodline that Lycaon will have. After the miserable feast, every full moon, Lycaon and his wife were hunting for animals blood and flesh than to hunts some human. They get used to eat animals rather than humans. Magdalene gave birth to a very healty little boy, they named him Cerebus. Meanwhile, Apollo was the one who reigned the Kingdom after Lycaon's cursed. He married a queen and had a very beautiful daughter, Esmeralda. For years, Lycaon's family was always hiding in plain sight. They managed to live along with humans without no one figuring out what kind of a monster they really are. Apollo, being selfish and wanted a power over anyone still managed to manipulate Lycaon to protect him and the Royal family which Lycaon did. He still though of Apollo as his little brother, oblivious that it was Apollo's betrayal to have him cursed. Apollo was wise enough to have The Lycan's behind his back since there was a ravaging animals who hunts people in the middle of the night that Lycaon swore that it wasn't them. Over the time, Lycaon fogured out that the one whose hunting and eating humans every midnight were The Wargs. Lycaon's biological brother that he wasn't aware of were included in Zeus curse. The Wargs was the one whose killing people mercilesly. While The Dire's, Lycaon's family was the one whose protecting the people of the Whales and The Royal Family that he grew up with. Cerebus and Esmeralda grew up close along with the Queen's bestfriend's son, Gwynedd. The three of them grew up inseperable and happy. No bloodlines and curse were up against them. Not knowing, that the curse will flow of all the test of time.
