The Alpha and Luna's Final Fateย ย ย Chapter 9
โMum, Dad, the orc trials begin today. Queen Maia has invited everyone to come along to watch.โโOh, orc trials?โ My mother says, raising an eyebrow.โYeah, they wrestle to see who is the strongest amongst them,โ I explain.โI see. I guess we can come along,โ my mother shrugs.โI know wrestling isnโt your cup of tea, but you might enjoy it a little?โ I smile.She nods.โIโll see if the rest of the pack wants to come along,โ I say, standing up and leaving the house.Everyone who wants to attend meets near the portal.โI just have to find Magnus and Alec,โ I say to Flint and Josie.โThey were heading towards the river over there not long ago,โ Josie says.โThanks,โ I say and โSkedaddle Dashโ towards them.I see them both sitting by the river, talking like best buddies as I approach.โUnbelievable,โ I mutter under my breath.They both stop talking and see me approach with a not-too-impressed look on my face. I halt in front of Alec and Magnus and cross my arms.โHi, babe,โ Magnus says ne

We walk through the courtyard, and I see Yiselda sitting by herself. She appears troubled.โHow about you two go on ahead? Iโm going to see if Yiselda is okay,โ I say.Magnus and Alec peer over to Yiselda and see her moping on a bench seat. They nod and walk away together. Sometimes I donโt get Alec and Magnus. They argue and fight, yet they are by each other's side more than mine at times. They truly are like brothers. I roll my eyes at the back of them again.โYiselda,โ I say in a chirpy tone and sit beside her. โYou didnโt come to the orc trials?โโNo,โ she says quietly.โOh, I was hoping to see you there, but thatโs okay,โ I smile.She waves her wand at the ground in a circular motion making the leaves float from the ground and swirl into a tiny whirlwind.โSo, you seem pretty quietโฆ and glum?โ I say. โYou donโt like it here?โ I add.โItโs not that I donโt like it here. Itโs absolutely beautiful here. I miss Pandoraโs box, though. Itโs always been my home, and to see it burn down

The Celestial DimensionThe Celestial world consists of many realms and kingdoms, home to each deity. Each domain is made from enormous clusters of many different coloured crystals. Some are firmly set on the land, while others are on floating islands that connect with stone bridges. Each celestial home is just as beautiful as the next. Different colour orbs swim throughout ponds and rivers. The air glistens as if itโs always raining sparkles. There is no sun, which reveals millions of stars in the sky. Some planets are so close that it looks like the worlds will collide, but they never do. Even though there is no sun, the sky has an ongoing aurora that forever emits a glowing light. We know when the new day begins as the aurora changes colour at day's end. The Celestial world is so vast it can take months to travel to the other side. This is great for deities that donโt get along. They can instead stay many moons away from each other.Gods and Goddesses thrive from being worshipped a

Fuming with hatred, I pace back and forth while thinking of ways to destroy Mysteria. Finally, I come to a halt and smile as the answer comes to mind. Thypon, the God of ferocious monsters. He has the head of a dragon, a bat's wings and a serpent's body. Once a God amongst the other deities in the Celestial Realm, Thypon wreaked death and destruction across many worlds. To end Typhonโs terrible ways, the deities and I trapped him beneath a volcano for all eternity, compelling the volcano never to erupt since that was the only way Thypon could be released.I immediately travel to the world of ash and lava where Thypon has been sealed. Approaching the volcano, I raise my hands high and begin the chant. The seal dissipates, and the volcano erupts. An explosion of ash rises into to air, whilst lava flows out from the crater. A boisterous roar emits through the cloud of ash. Enormous wings flap and push the ash away. Thypon, now silent, gazes at me. I smirk and cross my arms.โFinally, aft

NinaAs Kadva and I reach the bottom of the stairs, arm in arm, I immediately notice Magnus isnโt in a pleasant mood. However, he was happy when I spoke to him earlier in the hall. So, something must have happened since then. He stands leaning against a beam with arms crossed and a scowl across his face. Alec gives Magnus an odd look, wondering why he is in such a temperamental mood.I mind-link Magnus, โIs everything okay? You seem a little angry about something?โโWhy would I be angry, Nina?โ he replies sarcastically, โIs there something I should know about?โ he scoffs.I give him a confused look and realise everyone is watching Magnus, and I pull faces at each other through mind-link. I clear my throat and focus on the pack. I can worry about Magnus later.โAre we ready to celebrate the midsummer solstice?โ I shout.Everyone cheers and follows Alec and Magnusโs lead. We all step into the portal one at a time behind the blacksmith's workshop and appear at Moon Crest Castle, where Si

Although I'm extremely mad at Magnus and Alec, I can't help but notice the big grin on the guard's face at Kadva's announcement. The witches all have their mouths gaped open. I turn and see everyone is still and quiet. Poor Kadva scratches the back of his head nervously.'Well, where's the music, and what are you all looking at? You all act as if you've never seen a gay mage before,' I say.Taking Kadva's hand, I pull him back to where we were dancing and glare at the musicians who start up the instruments. Others begin to sing and dance again as Kadva and I continue our dance. Everything has returned to how it was before, except for Magnus and Alec sitting there elbowing each other and arguing, blaming each other for what had just occurred.The dance ends.'I think a certain man is trying to get your attention?' I say.Kadva glances at the guard, who still has his eyes and smile on Kadva and nods.'I'm too nervous. I wouldn't even know what to say.''Pour a couple of goblets with win

We all halt and stare in confusion as haze forms in the distance and all around us. A thunderous roar echoes throughout the land. As Alec and Magnus stand on either side of me, I take their hands and hold them tight. I look between them with a worried expression.โThis doesnโt sound good,โ Alec says.I run toward Maia and place a hand on her shoulder.โWhat was that?โ I ask.โI-I donโt know. Iโve never heard anything like it before.โDamon holds Maia by his side and mind-links his warriors to be on the lookout. We can no longer see anything but fog. In the far distance, I can only make out the silhouette of something humungous coming towards us.โWhat is that?โ I say, pointing toward it.Everyone looks in the direction and begins to step back.โNina,โ Alec says, โStand back,โ he says with worry as he tries to pull me behind him.Magnus stands on the other side of me and smells the air.โItโs not a scent of human, fae, vampire or any other species that Iโve smelt before.

We hear the roar of Thypon in the distance.โWe must all go, now! โTowards the ships!โ Damon shouts.We shift into our wolves, and the little orcs and sprites are placed onto our backs. We race along the shoreline until we reach the docks where the ships are anchored.I look at Magnus as we see they have been destroyed. We shift back and cautiously approach. I notice a lot of movement in the water beyond the destroyed ships.โThereโs something in the water,โ I say, pointing at the ripples.Everyone steps closer, and suddenly three-headed snakes emerge and slither toward us. They are between seven and eight feet tall.โOh my!โ Vivian says in her posh accent, stepping back.โTumultuous Volley!โ I shout, causing lightning to strike them.โTroika Snakes!โ Alec shouts.I manage to strike them all as they come toward me except for one. The three heads spit a green fluid toward me at once. Alec dashes toward me and pushes me out of the way.โThey spit acid!โ he says as remnants burn holes th

The Alpha and Luna's Final Fateย ย ย Epilogue
EpilogueWith Moon Crest Castle destroyed, Queen Maia and King Damon decided to live in West Wallow Keep, the castle her parents once ruled and once resided in. Six months later, Queen Maia gave birth to a baby princess named Lilly. Ember, Vivian and her family decided to stay with Queen Maia along with Sir Hugo, who was excited to return to training the young orcs.Magnus, Alec and I returned to Emerald Island to live. I created a portal from West Wallow Keep to Emerald Island so Queen Maia and I could port through to see each other daily.I decided that each year at each midsummer solstice, I would enter through the veil to the celestial world, where I would spend that time with my fellow deities Selene, Ogrun, Cerridwen and Valkrim. To Seleneโs sadness, Atlanta had the same fate as Thypon, sealed forever in the crystal ball.Lilac, Ela, Ria and Fern, along with their familiars, decided to return to Pandoraโs box to live with Yiselda.Kadvaโs partner asked him to move in with him in

We watch as Thypon slowly begins to be sucked in toward the trinket box each time we repeat it. By the time he is waist-deep being squeezed in, he realises what is happening. He tries to grab onto the castle wall, then a tree as he continues to be sucked in. The lid snaps shut over him, and an explosion of bright light forms and seals around the edges of the box. The guardians and Reaper all drop to the ground as the box seals. I peer down at them breathing heavily. Iโm scared I have drained them of their powers and life, but their eyes begin to flicker, and they slowly sit up. I sigh in relief and then look over at Alec and Magnus. Alec is holding Magnus and seems to have cut his wrist, letting his blood drip into Magnusโs mouth. Now with wings, I fly toward them and fall to my knees beside Magnus. I shove Alec, and he flies back, slamming into a tree.โWhat are you doing to him!โ I cry and hold Magnus in my arms. My wings wrap around Magnus to pull him closer to me and shield him fr

I hold the sceptre in front of me with two hands and recite the chant.โSceptre of Divine powerI open my heart to accept my new fateGrant me your power to defend all those at stakeMay my heart stay trueAs I transcend from old to newThis fate I accept with all my heart from you.โAt first, the sceptre lights up, but then nothing else happens.โNo!โ Thypon shouts again. He then looks down at Magnus and aims his staff at him. Power surges from his staff, and a blue electric bolt strikes him. He convulses as the strike runs through his body. His eyes slightly open, โNina,โ he whispers.โMagnus!โ I shout. But his eyes close, and his body goes limp.Alec and I stare at one another and breathe heavily at his demise.Thypon laughs and then aims his staff at Damon.โNo!โ Queen Maia screams. She forms a purple ball of light at Thypon and throws it toward his face. Kadva then stands by her side and forms a blue orb he throws at Thypon.Suddenly the gem on the sceptre lets out an explosion o

I wait as everyone gets themselves prepared to leave. I approach the tree Reaper is in to see the she-bird has warmed up to him. She nuzzles her beak into the feathers on his chest, preening them.โCongratulations, Reaper, I see Alecโs advice helped,โ I mind-link and smile.โThanks, but Alecโs advice wasnโt working. She has been quite stubborn,โ he mind-links.โThen how?โโNot even an hour ago, she was being attacked by a large eagle trying to kill her and take over her territory. He had her by the wing, about to rip it off. I used my shadow power against him, making him burst into ash. The ash rained down on us like snow as she stared into my eyes. After a few moments, she gently leaned against me and started preening my feathers and singing to me,โ he says and holds his head high proudly.โOh, Reaper, you romantic little hero. You saved your damsel in distress and won her heart,โ I wink at him.Reaper spreads his wings and warbles happily in song. Iโm so happy for him. โI guess Iโll

As we leave Moon Crest Castle, I see the Covenstead in the distance.โAlec, I want to go to Yiseldaโs place before we leave,โ I say.โBut we need to get to Oakpaw mountain,โ he says.โI know, but this is important. I need to go there.โHe stares at me for a moment before nodding.โIf itโs that important, then letโs go,โ he replies.Reaper flies ahead of us to meet us there.I use my Skedaddle Dash spell until we arrive at the Covenstead. I push the door open to be greeted by the magic broom sweeping the floors. Rabbits, squirrels and the odd cat sit, sleep or run around. I enter the kitchen on the right. Itโs strange to see the kitchen quiet with no potion brewing in the cauldron. I begin to look through the shelves and in the cupboards.โWhat are you looking for?โ Alec asks.I pull my head out of the cupboard I am currently rummaging through and turn to face him, โI thought there might be something here I can use to seal Thypon in,โ I explain.โOh, I see. Iโll check the living room t
The Alpha and Luna's Final Fateย ย ย Chapter 29
First thing in the morning, I bathe, dress and walk throughout the castle, repeating the spell while looking for an item to seal Thypon. Reaper is perched on my shoulder. We enter the kitchen only to find pots, pans, plates and candle sticksโnothing in here of use. The library had the odd vase of flowers, a plethora of books, and nothing else. I take a random book from the shelf, โThe Alphaโs Mate Who Cried Wolf,โ I read, then laugh. โSounds interesting. I suppose I canโt trap Thypon in a book, though?โ I say to Reaper.โI donโt think a book would be strong enough. Pages can rip easily, and who knows what that would do? Letโs keep looking in the other rooms,โ he mind-links.We enter the grand hall. I admire the tapestry and portraits, but there is nothing of use here either. I sigh, fall back into the dark wooden chair, and stare dismally at the ground.Footsteps coming toward me echo throughout the hall. I look up to see itโs Alec.โAre you ready to go, my love?โ he says, extending h

Vermilion dodges flame, ice, lighting and poison strikes from the dragons. He hovers on the spot as more fly from the opposite direction towards us.โVermillion, fly!โ I shout as they get closer. But he doesnโt move and continues to wait. โVermillion, please!โ I cry out then as they release elements toward us. He flies upward, causing the strikes from each group to hit each other. I laugh at the realisation Vermillion had planned that move. No wonder he wasnโt listening to me.The dragons form a group together and fly behind us, โVermillion, theyโre going to catch up to us,โ I say to him.He flaps his wings quicker and zooms through the sky. Some of the smaller dragons cannot keep up. The larger ones, however, are close behind us. We lean forward as shards of ice shoot past us. There is a mountain split in two in the distance. Vermillion turns sideways. I scream and hug myself against him for dear life. โGods, is this necessary, Vermillion?โ Alec shouts, clinging even tighter to the d

Itโs almost nightfall, and we have barely covered the tiniest fraction of the mountain. Alec stops in front of me, โYou wonโt be able to see the sceptre in the dark. You also need to eat and rest, and I need to feed as well. Letโs make a fire to keep you warm through the night first,โ he says.I collect the sticks, and Alec finds a couple of small logs. As soon as we stack them into a pile, I point my finger about to cast the fire spell, but a large gust of flame blows past me and ignites it. I turn and find Vermilion sitting like a dog, staring at the fire.โThanks,โ I laugh.I sit beside Alec, but he pulls me onto his lap. His fangs protrude, and he instantly bites into my neck, making me yelp. He drinks more than usual, then flings his head back in satisfaction before gazing into my eyes. He kisses my forehead, then my nose and then nuzzles back into my neck, where he slides his tongue across the puncture marks sending wild and pleasurable sensations throughout my body. He then kis

โWe should bathe before we have the meeting,โ I say to Reaper.Queen Maia laughs and points to a little hut, โThat hut is the bathhouse. Go freshen up.โ She looks me up and down and frowns at my grubby, torn dress, โAnd Iโll have the villagers organise you something to wear,โ she smiles.โThanks, Maia,โ I smile back and retreat to the bathhouse.The door creaks as I push it open. The wooden tub takes up half the room in the hut. I repetitively push down on the lever to pump the tub full of water. Reaper perches on the edge of the bath as I strip my dress off and step in. I scrub the slobber from my arms and face and then scoop my hands with water to let it trickle over Reaper. His wings expand and shakes. Water flies from his feathers onto the ground. He uses his beak to reach and clean the rest of himself.As I step out, I hear a faint knock and open the door a tad. Thereโs a plump middle-aged woman holding a dress with a towel folded on top.โThank you,โ I smile as she pushes it thr
