Amara’s POV

The sky was clear.

Too clear for a morning like this.

The sun had risen pale and the trees stood frozen in solemn reverence. I should have found comfort in the serenity, but all I felt was dread. Afraid of what laid ahead of me.

We walked in a line as Morgana and I led the procession. Both dressed in plain white tunics and scarves. No jewelry. No markings. No colour.

Lucy stirred softly inside me. Solemn.

I didn’t need to hear her to know how she felt . How she dreaded what might become.

"You’re not alone, Amara." She voiced. "I'll fight with you."

I nodded, giving a light smile to her comforting words. But was that be enough?

Was she enough?

The procession came to a stop at the base of the jagged hill, where the Cave sat on.

One of the elders stepped forward—Elder Tirajo, his weathered face cold and stern as his white robe fluttered against the cold wind.

He lifted his hands and muttered an i

    ~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

    My head spun as my eyes flickered open. A strong scent of incense hit my nose, and my vision blurred as I lifted myself slowly.I scanned the room. A sharp pain piercing through my skull and I groaned, quickly placing a palm on my head.The room was warm, mostly because of the four fire torches that hung on the wall. A table stood before me with several scrolls scattered across it, and on the wall beside me hung a robe and a sword — a robe and a sword I could recognize anywhere."You are awake," a voice suddenly said behind me, and I turned sharply.A woman stood, peering at me with a mischievous smirk as she leaned against the wall.Her dark hair waved seamlessly down her waist, and her gazelle-like eyes peered at me with charm — a charm that only someone from royalty could possess."You can stop staring now," she mused, snapping me out of my thoughts. "I know I am beautiful."My gaze fluttered, and I cleared my throat."I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to..."I paused.Wait. Didn’t she just

She cried as the weaves dug into her body. "I can't take this anymore."I panicked, feeling Lucy's life slip away as the weaves grew stronger.I didn't know what to do. This was my first time wolfing out fully. I couldn't control Lucy under normal circumstances,let alone now her life was in danger."Hang on, Lucy." I say within her, looking around the cave when my gaze falls on it,The necklace.It must have snapped when Lucy morphed out.Shit!The necklace lay on the floor, at the farthest part of the cave. Lucy and I were still suspended in the air. There was no way I could reach it."Yo
