Then she moved over to the terminal array, and the corpse seated in the middle of it all. She took a good look at all of the equipment, as well as the corpse’s condition with great interest. “This technology is thousands of years old?” she said. “Which means you are yourself thousands of years old.” “Correct again,” said Anki. “I have been active for twelve thousand, four hundred seventy-nine years, six months, nine weeks, and three cycles. Of course, the station and the Engineer have been around for far longer.” “I honestly find it hard to believe that a twelve thousand year old being would want to parley with any of us,” Claire suddenly interjected. “What is it you’re hoping will happen he

Ancient Greece 1200 B.C The darkness looms over her head, and she scurried away like the little mouse she was, the death of her sisters laid vivid and stark in her memories This was all her fault, if only she'd been less self centered, she'd have seen through Ananke's lies sooner “Do not forget your promise” she howled to the skies A harsh laughter boomed from the skies “Olympus is no more” Ananke's voice echoed through the skies “Your shrewd minions cannot save your skin now”

“If what I’m thinking is true, then... this is no longer a battle for the throne.” “I don’t understand, Miaka,” Antony pleaded. “What aren’t you telling me? What’s so bad about this?” “Very bad if what we think is true.” I nodded at Miaka. Antony might worry, but he wouldn’t whisper. Miaka looked at me for a second and agreed. Then she confirmed what had been in my mind this whole evening. “An Ancient is waking.”

I ask in bewilderment. “Angelique was the daughter of a very prominent demon of the demonic council. Malphas, to be precise. Lucifer’s war general.” Lucas replied, he jaw set in a grim line as he clenched his teeth. He didn’t look at me but instead, he looked about him trying to work out what his next move should be. “I thought you were Lucifer’s general?”

James said impatiently. Zeno continued, saying, “When the Ancestral Site was still intact, every once in a while, it would create a new race. To be more precise, it would produce Primogenitors. After some time, these Primogenitors would reproduce and eventually form a race of its own. “Just now, I overheard some people outside the city saying that an ancient beast has appeared in the Dunhamvale World. “Ancient beasts are the Primogenitors of a new race. However, a long time ago, powerful races of the Dark World would target these ancient beasts and capture them. If the ancient beast were strong, they would train them into their guardian beasts.”

“I’m 300 in human years; before that, Xamnir was my master and Alpha.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen my older brother at a loss for words, and to be fair, I am just as fucking stunned. This witch isn’t just old, she’s one of the Ancients: A breed of witches so powerful that the Gods themselves had to eradicate them. But how did Marle survive the Purging? “I know what you’re thinking, but now is not the time for that-”

“Rukha was a great warrior, all this is incomprehensible, both shadows and vampires, titans of antiquity, I don’t understand anything what is happening. Baruz mutters puzzled. The librarian continued: “I don’t understand at all where this came from in our city, the ancients disappeared long ago, they have not been heard of for several millennia. And how their weapons got here, and even in the hands of a mercenary, is unclear. But I believe outsiders have come into the city, preparing an invasion, perhaps. - What are you talking about?

Agrip sighed, then began to speak again. “The term “ancients” is a significant concept in history. In one of the history books, the ancients refer to a group of powerful and ancient beings who have lived for thousands of years. They possess exceptional supernatural abilities and are deeply connected to the earth and its elements. They are portrayed as the oldest and most powerful beings in existence. They are revered and feared by vampires, as well as by humans and other supernatural creatures. Their origins are shrouded in mystery, and they are believed to have been created by a higher power or divine force.”

It was life, condensed and burning. The Ancients lived by a strict rule: never kill while feeding. They could drink, but they could not take a life. To kill while feeding was to invite something dark into the soul—a beast that waited beneath the skin, patient and eager.
