***~~Amara~~***How can you kill someone in the most torturous and painful way possible? Gut him with a knife? No, too easy.Throw him in a pot of boiling oil?Hmm, fair enough.Break his kneecaps, toss him to some wild beasts and watch in relish as they shread and scrap his bones to pieces? Well, Maybe."There are one thousand ways to die, Lan," I groaned, anger brewing inside me as I stared at him with churning rage, "But you choose one."He grinned, "And what way could that be, dearest?"I clenched my fists, fury seething inside me as I said, "Dieing by my hands."He chuckled, "I would like to see you try."Flash! I charged at him, spreading my arms as weaves of lights seeped out me, morphing into a blade, aiming at him when—He brings out an orb, squeezing his fingers around it and Morgana's wolf shrieks violently."If you come any closer towards me, dearest moon goddess reborn. I assure you she will not be the only wolf screaming in pain."I looked back at Morgana's wolf, stil

***~~Amara~~***Daughter?I muttered to myself as I watched mother cheer happily with Lilith.She called Lilith, daughter?I stood rooted to the ground, barely able to decipher what was playing in front of me.Why would mother refer to Lilith as daughter? And what was Lilith doing here? In my house? In my clothes?And Lilith. She looked like she was comfortable here, Like she had lived here forever.I watched as mother chatted gayly with Lilith—happy, both of them not even seeming to know that I was standing in the room.My stomach churned with rage as I stepped forward, stretching my hand to touch mother but as soon as my hands landed on her, it went through her.What the hell?I did it again, same thing.And just when I try to reach out to her for the third time,a huge gust of wind swept around me pushing me out of the room."Mother!"I screamed, stretching my hands towards her as the wind pushed me further,Further,And further,Until I vanished. Falling through a dark void, landi

~Amara~Power, Greed, Ambition.The three traits that led to my doom and the doom of my people, Falme.I wrapped my arms around my legs, lowering my head as the tears streamed down my cheeks. I had caused this. I was the reason why Falme remained in penury. I was the reason we were regarded as the filth and scum of the four kingdoms.I had let my greed get the best of me, allowed the enemy close."Oh, how you blame yourself so much child?" A voice suddenly echoed in the cell and I paused, a cold chill sliding down my spine as I looked around.No one."Wh... Who ...are you?" I mutter, heart pounding with fear."Not who. What." The voice replies, a hint of amusement laced in it."What?" "I am a phenomenon." The voice said, "A myth. Something everyone believes do not exist but lingers in the shadow. I am,"It paused, the air thickening with cold dread as it says,"The dark one."My eyes widen as I shifted back, hitting my back against the cold wall."Y... You...You....are the dark one?

"You damned, bloody oathbreaker!" one of the remaining elders– Nathaniel, hissed as he spat at Lan, "You betrayed us!"Lan turned to him, a calm smug sitting on his lips. "Betrayal is such a heavy word, Nathaniel." He said, spreading his arms with mock grace. "Some of us were born to rule. Not grovel around a shady moon goddess as pathetic yes-men."Nathaniel’s eyes flared with rage as he lunged forward, aiming for Lan. But the blade pressed tightly against his throat by the guard behind him, halts him instantly."You won't get away with this, Lan," he growled, breathing heavily, "The Moon Goddess will hunt you down and grind your soul to ash."Lan's laughed, Cain joining him. Both of them looking at Nathaniel with mocked amusement."The Moon Goddess?" Cain scoffed, "She’d have to go through the Dark One first."Nathaniel stiffened. "So it’s true. You’re going to unleash him."Lan didn’t answer. Instead, he turned towards the doors as they opened.The pack clan entered, led by Alpha K

~1811~"For the crimes levelled against you, Elena Snow." I hear a voice filter in my ears as I slowly opened my eyes."Do you," It continues, "On the moon goddess's name plead guilty?"A sharp sting pierced through my ribs as I coughed, spitting out a thick clot of blood. I was on knees, bounded by sliver shackles which burned my wrists and ankles and my whole body ached as I lifted my head, taking in the sights of the men before me.Elder Lan, flanked by the six sitters of the kingdom. The council of Elders.One seat was empty. My seat."I said, Do you plead guilty?" The voice which I now recognize to be Elder Lan's demanded.A hysterical laughter from me echoed through the hall as my eyes scanned each and everyone of them, a burning rage surging through my veins, wanting to shread them to pieces.They had betrayed me. Now they had the audacity to charge me of treason?"I am going to ask you this one more time, Elena." Lan loomed, eyes staring at me with cold indifference."Do. You.

Lilith peered at me like I had just said the strangest thing she had ever heard.“Poison ivy?" She muttered, staring at me in disbelief. "Why would you ask such? Only a witch can forge such concoctions and witches are extinct.""Look, it is a long story." I say, rubbing my forehead with my fingers. I spend the next few minutes giving her a breakdown of Morgana and Rebecca's sorcery dealings."Wow," She blurted, "That's a lot of conspiracy going on."She falls to her knees and tilts Morgana's pale face.I looked away in irritation.Morgana's veins had gone black, bulging against her skin like parasites feeding off energy from a host."Poison Ivy and Shadow rot shares a peculiar trait." Lilith finally said. "They corrupt the host, make them weak and feed off the host's energy."She continued, " It is said that witches were able to forge poison ivy with the use of Shadow rot. If you are able to kill off the rot, you can save the person infected and there is only one way."I peered at her
