A Mothers only wish

A Mothers only wish

For the eighteen something time that day I felt my lower back tighten as I was kicked trying to squat properly. I felt my children weighing heavily on my bladder as I rushed into the relief room for mother’s who will be expecting. Squatting down, I excreted all of my bodily fluids as I ran my hand over the knob that does the cleaning for me. I thought it was unnecessary but my husband insisted. As mother hounded him on how uncomfortable I would be in the final months. Mother told him it would keep me so clean not even a micro dirt stayed on my skin. Slowly I waddled my 46 months self over to the sink out of habit from my youthful years. I admired my crimsine red eyes as it was a sign of my love and devotion to my unborn child and my husband. My irises where slits, for my breed was rare. They showed me more than I ever wished to see. For example like ever stretch mark on my stomach and legs. Not to mention the pores on my face look like craters not even a face peel can fix.

With a deep sigh I reviewed my very pregnant self and marveled at the beauty of it. My raven black hair was braided so intricately not even my cat like eyes could follow every curve and loop on my head. It was acting as my crown until I could give birth and not try and rip it off from the pounding headaches it would cause. This was the best my husband could come up with that didn’t cause me to nearly kill anyone near me. Witch giving my lineage and the very fact I could kill with my looks, made it a very real and scary possibility. My mother thinks it is best to have my sister and her be the midwives just in case my child is to have the same characteristics.

I rubbed my stomach as it was only a matter of time before my family's trade mark raven black reflected highlights. There was a sharp pain on the lower half of my back and I took a deep breath. If they reflected Vibrant Green I had a boy and deep blue indicated a female. My husband and I were so excited and we couldn’t wait to find out their genders. We didn’t want the doctors to tell us instead we waited until our babies where ready to tell us what they where. This was normal for are kind however, my husband and I wanted to wait a little longer. It was told that on both sides of the family we have been known to not pick a side until the month we are born or until as close as hours before birth. Mother and I know I was going to give birth to at least two children or this baby was going to be a gigantic beast. 

Looking at my deep ebony skin I smiled as I felt over welcoming love and pride for my little Eagle’s. I prayed for there safe deliver and preyd they were easier on me then I was on my mother. I refused to come out and I hadn’t picked a gender when she went into labor. After nearly three days of labour and stubborn will power mother gave birth to me. She cried and mother told me how scared she was I wouldn’t make it in the world. When mother didn’t hear me cry she begged to hold me. There is one in every ten thousand has a chance of being born like I was.

I didn’t cry or move. No matter how many times my lungs was cleared I couldn’t breathe either. Through her tears feel on my face just as she whispered to our ancestors, our gods. ‘If you let her die how will my love for my family grow. I will destroy heaven so none of you can ever get back to are lands to visit.’ I don’t have the fantiste clue how I had remembered that but my mother cries everytime she tells me this.

It helps that she is the most powerful witch, orical, and gate keeper known to many and her generation. I received some witch powers, and the ability do mate with any creature known to man. My mother thinks it is a historical joke and it a cosmic twist on her incubus bloodline.

WIth a deep breath I rubbed my balloon sized stomach and wobbled back to my bed chambers. I have reminisced enough on the possible fright I would be going through with my children. The room is in a completely white room. Everything is white included simple bed frame. The doctor says it is best to stay in a room like this because it is less likely to persuade the child to pick a side based on my surroundings. I honestly think they want to be prepared in case I pop like a balloon and need to perform anything emergency on me.

I picked up my link just as my husband the king called me. It was like having the world in your hand. You could look at all files, the interlink, get the latest files on your servants or slaves, and so much more. It is basically a ring that works off of your biometrics or dna. Sometimes you made it work off of both if you are the king or queen. It is to make sure if you have kids they don’t have the ability to override the system temperraly.

“Hey honey!” He stopped to make sure I could get the best picture of his face. “Are you sure you wish to do this?” I know what he was asking but I honestly didn’t want to do it. Mother assured me we would all be doomed if we didn’t. I was getting ready to show switch so he could see me on video but caught a glimpse of what should have been raven black hair. I let out a cry of joy as tears welled up in my eyes. “Honey?” I cleared my throat. Then adjusted so he could see my hair as well.

“Yes, we will send off the first born…” He froze as I sent a request to transfer over to video. Soon as I saw his handsomely rugged face I smiled. “We are having triplets honey.” I watched as his Lilac eyes shifted from light to dark purple and then shifts back to a light lilac with the rims of his irus being tinged red. He didn’t have to say anything for me to know what he was thinking. Beyond the heavens I love this man. “Honey... breathe…” I felt a furey of kicking and a sharp punch as I felt the first contraction rip throw my uterus. I shouldn’t be going from nothing to level five…. Contractions unless I hadn’t been paying attention. “Oww... oww Damn it!” My alarm brought him back to me as he tried to get me to answer what was wrong. 

“Breathe.” He spoke as comly as he could throw the link to me.

Shifting the pellows to the smell of my back stacking them up from there I laid myself down as I screamed bloody murder trying to get mother to come faster. It ripped through me without so much as a break in between. I felt like the time my sister tried to rip my stomach out before mother could stop her. My husband popped in next to me as I was screaming for doctors to come in. As I felt the fire and lava pour out from between my legs my husband held me. This was bad… Mother told me if you felt fire it was your child at risk but if you felt lava you where at risk and if you felt both of you would die.

“Save my babies…” I tied to smiled as I screamed and it felt like sharp neil's where trying to rip through me witch told me one or all three of are unborn have picked trates the fathers has. “Promise… me.” I looked him in the eyes and he nodded. I laid back and watched the seen unfold. The doctors and wet nurse where lifting the covers and three of the five passed out as they looked. One of the two burst into action to help the doctor and the second one was screaming. She turned and vomited all over the place. The doctor looked at my husband with fear in his eyes. I watched his lips move and was distracted when my mother came in. She only needed one look as she raced to my side and began chanting. 

“What… did he.. Say?” I was now looking around with black spots increasingly stealing my site. I looked up at my husband as I felt my child dig through my stomach and I felt it split open. I watched as my husband cried and he was speaking but I couldn’t hear. Everything began to fade and all to quickly went dark.

“Hon…” I started coughing. When was the last I had something to drink? “Honey?” I slowly shifted my arms making contact with bare skin. Slowly opening my dry eyes I saw three Children. 

One had my family's trademark hair Raven black. The face was so thin I couldn’t tell if he took after me more or his father. As if my eyes had touched him, his eyes fluttered opened and I smiled at the site of the ever familiar lilac eyes. He got his looks evenly from his father and me. The deep ebony skin looked as smooth as the finest velvet money could buy, he looked like a majestic doll staring back at me. Slowly as the child sat up I noticed the markings on his back. The mark of the silver dragon with wings outstretched. The dragon was circled around the griffin loosely and it’s top half is stretched perfectly with its wings outstretched. The same goes for the raven it stood tall wings sprouting out and looking as if the edge of the wings merged with the dragons back and wings. Almost tripling the span of the reach for both creature then should be possible. It was a mix of my family and my husband family's crest on are back. With it reflecting rainbows as the light bouncing off. That told me, my bloodline is more promenty despite having his father's eyes. Witch often indicated the sex of the child is taken from the parent with the same color eyes and the crest should be the crest of that parent as well. Usually the child is born with one of the family's crests but never both of them. It has happened before but never has it been merged in anyway that looked so natural. I don’t know what this means but mother was right about sending the first born away. People would fear the power he could possibly hold and do their best to control him instead of helping him grow. 

The crest of my family and my husband was on my first born, who was male. I am sure Jeraleds family is thrilled but… why does it look as if someone tried to rip it off? There where markings burned into the otherwise perfect flesh. It looked to be healing well and the claw marks didn’t seem to disfigure either Crest on his back. Everyone knows there is no way to copy or remove it unless the first born dies or a power female figures was to disown him. Even then the female would have to be stronger than him and there was no need to burn it off. The mark would just faded and be passed onto the next born. I looked closer at the burned marks and realized the nails didn’t match any adults. The size pointed to a child and the angle pointed to only one child.

Has he tried to remove it himself? Is that way my family and our coven I had a vision of needing to send one of my children away? I want to protect my child but how do you protect my child from himself? I began to cry as I wanted to reach out and hug him. This had to be like the dreams before. I didn’t have the ability to pull him into the dream like state I could his younger sister. Many times I have spoken to my only daughter and we have had a conversation about the things she has been learning. Never has she mentioned her two eldest brothers. This was the first I have been able to see my first born since I have been able to consciously navigate my soul.

His younger brother I didn’t like to visit because of the things he would say and do. Even though Chet know I was his mother he said my husband spoke ill of me. He also said his father has a new wife who lets him do whatever he wants.

With a deep longing to hug my child in front of me I felt the darkness swallow me as he raised his defense.

“Mom… you're awake.” I heard a voice say next to me. I looked to my right and He sat up more and watched me carefully. With his lilac eyes trained on me he kept his back to me. That was when I saw something, that took my breath away. It was so unexpected I wasn’t sure if I was awake or finally up. The strangest lineage going back to almost the very beginning waw displayed proudly on his back. I blinked a few times in disbelief and pinched my cheeks. When that didn’t convince me I bit my tongue and looked again. He noticed me staring but didn’t flinch. He was the very image of strong will, determination, kindness, and so much sadness. I felt my three hearts ache for him as I spoke my mind.

“My baby… what has happened to you?” I held my arms out. With great hesitation he slowly slid into my arms as I cried and rocked him gingerly in my arms. My heart was breaking as I kissed every scar I could see through my tears. “Who has done such a thing to you?” I asked and did my best to hide my anger. Being the mess that I was, most of it came out anyway. I felt the spirits calling for me and tried to block them as I wanted nothing more than to protect my child. I know he was meant for greatness but with that greatness comes great pain.

‘Let this child go. Heal what wombs you can reach and send him away. This child will not live to see it fourteenth birthday while he lives on your plant.’

‘Don’t make a mother send her child away… please. Is there anything else that can be done?’ I sniffed and held my child tightly as I begged the orical for any other way.

‘The child's wolf will not allow this… This child has been called to a new world. If you keep the Destined one. Many will die before they are ready. Do you wish to sacrifice all for one destined soul?’ I was shown a glimpse of my mother, father, sister, Chet my second son, Amber my possible only daughter, and all that I loved was dead and being violated by a darkness I couldn’t make sense of. ‘And this is just the beginning of all that is happening. You will be given eight months. Three days before his birthday. Let this one go or lose all your loved ones.’ I felt the tightness as my heart stopped for two beats but picked up at a faster pace. I watched as a body was ripped into unrecognizable pieces all over a room. ‘This will mark the beginning of his destiny. If this child is here the day after, all will die.’ The oracles high pitched voice spoke again. I felt the pain and sadness of all that I love. They showed me the darkness and loneliness I would feel. “You have a choice. It won't be easy but this Destined soul MUST be sent out alone. This soul has alise waiting to walk the path. It won't be easy but this soul at the end will be happy.’ I felt the oracles implanting a portion of my spell into my mind. It was brought to the forefront of my mind allowing me to know my sisters and mother was the only one required to carry off this very important mission. If we didn’t do this it would destroy two universes. However if we did go with it, it would save two universes from being destroyed and preventing it from possibly spreading over to other universes in the process. I felt the oracles waiting for the answer. 

I ready my nerves to tell them to go fuck thems selfves. There was a tug and then a light squeeze. His check on my shoulder nodded just a bit. As it to tell me everything would be alright. I found myself in a peaceful place and agreed to do as requested. I felt them finally leave me and I held my child close. At least as a mother I needed to pour as much love into my child as possible. As I pulled my rugged breath and committed my child sent to memory. I asked why he tried to rip off his birthmark and where the other scars came from.

“It was Chet and Amber. Sometimes random people and sometimes Father… I mean his majesty's family. It’s okay… because nana is always kind. Nana has helped me understand many things to.” His lilac eyes glowed with warmth as he spoke of my mother but then something made them feel cold and distant. I waited for him to continue When he didn’t I probed at the birthmark.

“What of the one that looks like you did it yourself?” If he wasn’t in my arms I know by the way his ears sagged slightly he would have crawled into a ball and stopped responding to me.

“I never asked to be first born. If I could I would take it back and be third. If Chet and Amber did receive the fire blood as dominant they wouldn’t have been so busy ripping through each other trying to be the first one out. Maybe… father was right. I tricked them and they fought in confusion as they tried to get free.”

How could he say this to our children? Who would say this to their child? At this moment my three hearts couldn’t have ach any more for my child. I never know this pain of having a father and the world hating your very existence. Dear gods how would a single mother, whos missed out on the first five years of my child's first life, teach him what love is? How can I override the sadness and pain my child has only known. That was when I realized I wasn’t starting from scratch as my sisters and mother made sure to show love to my child despite the terrible first few years of growing up. 

My heart couldn’t clinging onto anything sad as all three would break and kill me for the pain where I stood. So I focused on the one thing that gave my aching hearts hope.

 “So my mother was the only one to show you love and kindness? What about your aunties?” Bobbing his head he smiled showing an array of many different teeth. Some of which belonged to different forms and beast altogether. There is one thing I must know. If I wish to understand why my loving husband is unable to love are children. “Why is it your family, other then my side, can’t except you?” I asked as the anger began to shake me to my core. My hands even shook as I ran my hands through my beautiful baby boys raven hair. It was thick, course, and oily like it hadn't been washed for sometime. His ears where to big for his face as my husband said would be. I could feel his uneasiness as he seemed to enjoy every moment my hand ran through his hair. The animal traits may be strong in him so it’s hard to push down certain things. It was calming for myself.

“Because I haven’t picked a gender.” Wait… What? How is this possible? No one has walked this world without a gender… unless it was hidden. Those born without a gender has always been killed right after birth. What where the Gods saying for it? 

‘If you are born without a gender and red hair, then you have no soul. The father and mother must kile the child and burn it remains. Before it’s first week of birth. If you don't it will destroy the world, hungry forever as it feast on others and devour everything including other planets in its wake.’ I felt goosebumps rise on my skin how old is he? Should I even call him a she?

“And your telling me your nana, My mother has shown you kindness?” He nodded joyfully. Either happy I didn’t reject him on the spot or that I believed what was being spoken to me. That can't be right… my mother is devoted in her faith. Could it be… did she see something in my first born? “What is your name?” He looked thoughtful as he truly looked like he wasn’t even sure himself. “I am your mother and I want to know what is the name, your father has placed on you.” He looked at the corner behind me and when I looked Chet and Amber where laying down. Peacefully so. Their clothes looked like what a child of the queens and kings offsprings are expected to wear. Not the little fabric and rough underwear the first born was wearing.

“This is…” He pointed to the one with wavy muddy brown hair. This was obviously a She and her eyes started to slowly open. She was having a vstion at such a young age. I caught the glimpse of pale blue eyes. She looked just as chunky if not more so than her brother laying next to her. No, chunky was the wrong word… She looked healthy not chucky. She beautiful dark brown and sported mocha skin. It looked plumped and filled out wonderfully so. “Amber and this is Chet.” He had the golden locks just like his father and I was more then sure he would have my signature ever changing eyes. Both Amber and Chet looked appeared to be at least seven years old. I didn’t need to guess about it at all. The looked fully developed and healthy as they slept peacefully. 

It apeared as if nither of them has ever skipped a meal but the frist born seems… freal and sturdy. Like he’s been thougght so much as if it is possable the gohost hunting his eyes is the shadow of death. Like death was waiting for the right moment to take him like it has been wait for a while but he is to damb stubern to die. How long was I out? Putting my thoughts on hold I continued to listen. “As for me I am named IT. You, That thing.” I heard the bitterness in his voice as he spoke of his coman nicknames. I felt the air stir and drop a few degrees in temperature like a breeze coming in from the window far above the room. It was only a gentle breeze like a tickle in your stomach before you start to feel the burn. His voice softened suddenly and the wind died down. “Nana likes to call me Love or My Little Heart Of Gold.” I felt tears began to wash down my face once more. When he spoke of everyone else I could see anger but as he spoke of my mother I saw love. So sweet if not for the anger before hand it would make my sugar tooth hurt.

“Who is the eldest on paper?” I asked softly pulling him closer to my chest. Even knowing he didn't have a gender, I still wanted to call him he. I didn’t have the heart to call him anything else. 

“I was techicly born first.” His voice was a whisper and he wouldn’t meet my eyes. I felt the room drop even more in temperature. I could just barely see my breath as I exhaled. “But because I have no gender I was told to claim to be the thrice born so Chet could claims first and Amber second.” How hard has his life been like for six years? “We are seven not six.” I looked at him surprised. His voice was distant and hesitation. He can use telepathy and read others minds? When I didn’t get an answer I directed my thoughts to him with a connection.

‘You understand what I am thinking?’ With a nood he thought back to me. 

‘Of course it is the only reason I am a… here.’ I felt so proud in that moment I didn’t catch his word play.

‘I am so proud of you. I don’t know if my mother ever told you but…’ I explained how I was weak at his age and how mother would get mad when I tried to cheer her up I would do this silly little dance. I called it the jig-jig. We were laughing together for what felt like a while. We exchanging happy historical stories saidly I noticed I did all the talking. I didn’t notice when Chet and Amber had gotten up and before I could react they shoved Love off of my lap and out of my arms.

“You don’t need to be near our mother. She shouldn’t touch you because you might eat her!” Chet yelled. I felt them place a force shield around me. It was weak but it was definitely intermediate. 

‘Hey, what Are you doing! You are siblings!’  I thought so we were all on the same chat line. 

‘They don’t have the ability for this. I am advanced but nana wasn’t able to teach them this. They need stones or something to help them focus.’ Then how can they place a shield around me? This should have been the harder of the two.

“What are you do…!” I crooked as my throat shut on me. No my throat didn’t shut on me. I know the silence spell was coming from Chet and the shield was coming from Amber. The power signatures were vastly different. Amber has a beautiful tinge of pink and green. Chest is a vibrant red color one that should belong to anyone but a soulless… 

The door burst open and my mother stood inside with her shoulders high, proud to be who she is, but older then I remember. 

“Well of course dear you haven't woken for nearly eight years. I will overlook your rude thoughts.” Her thin lips smiled and she sashayed over to me slowly and stopped right in front of the two infront of me. Looking down on chet with her gray eyes like steel she slapped him across the face. That stunned me. She has to be furious to act in such away.

“How dear you hit…” Chet bellowed and she back handed him this time. It took him six or seven times before he understood my mother wouldn’t stop until he showed obedience. She was dressed in a dark overcoat that covered every inch of her. To the inch of her toes and the nape of her neck. The flowing of the dress when she walked made her look as if she might be floating if not for the clicking of her heels.

“You are nothing but a child born of my blood. I don’t have to acknowledge you into my family.” She was angry but wasn’t that going too far? To denounce anyone from your line would be like killing them. Maybe I was looking into this at the wrong angle. Mother had claimed it was a dishonour to even have to do that on both sides. It would devastate the family as much as the individual. She always explained it to me that if a pack member was forced out to find for himself and no help the pack would feel the loss as will.

“Mother…” I stood wobbling and caught me. She quickly dispelled the spell as I didn't have the power to display it myself. Her skin was so soft and slightly wrinkled. It felt so nice to touch pack… the feeling was indescribable. My first born rushed to my side to help support me. “Thank you.” She smiled warmly and hugged me. It was so tight I couldn’t breathe at first but when she let go I felt stronger like my muscles hasn’t eroded away. Unlike before I could barely feel much but now my aching legs felt as strong as a bull. “What has happened?” Mother smiled and led us out of my room. She didn’t answer my double meaning question. I know she had to be thinking of how to answer this.

“Come, so many things to discuss.” With as much grace I could muster, with two left feet, and my first born hovering next to me just in case, I walked behind mother. The serous and loving look in his eyes told me he cares for me deeply even after going through all the hardships.

It turns out my mother had taken in my first born and trained him on everything in secret. From taking care of himself while sleeping and as far as how to fight the forbidden and hidden arts long forgotten by all races. The only one I could think of might know it may be the Wild and possible warrior blood line that has gone extinct well over a century ago. A century ago is merely my mother's generation so it could be that others may still know of if but not many can do it. After all you have to be willing to learn and most kids now don’t want to go through the pain.

One month later

With a splitting headache I came to and did my damndest not to move too much. Did I drink too much at the party? No I hardly sipped what I did have as I was too busy chatting trying to see what I had missed for the eight years I had been in a coma for. I felt a tear escaped my eyes as I thought of how Chet and Amber were well received by all and the first born thought to be the third was cast aside. Everyone had nothing but complaints and focused on his small mishaps and refused to let him forget it.

My child was an outcast of my high born cisitey and it wasn’t even his fault. I chose this life not my child… I would have to do what I can to try and feel him with love. My chest felt so heavy I felt my heart’s would crush under the weight. He is independent now but I need to do my best not to baby him but not let him get bullied to the best of what I can. Even if I have to protect him from his very own siblings. I felt a little better at the thought of spending time with him. Rubbing my eyes I slowly opened them in fear of making my head throb worse.

 I was not peering into a pear of grouguse lilac eyes that was aged fifty years but belonged to an eight year old child. I saw cancer written on his face and fear. I don't know where the fear was from but the concern had to be for my headache.

“Mother… I didn’t mean for you to feel pain. I just wanted you to know the truth.” I smiled weakly and felt more eyes boring into me from all directions. When I looked up concerned faces where watching my every move and every face was of my immediate family.

“Amber… My child you just fell. Are you sick?” My mother placed her cheek to my forehead as she did many times when I was growing up.

“No.” My voice was shook and sounded weaker than I can ever remember. Tears threatened to spell out of my eyes as the memorise came to me. The pressure in my head began to build to an all new high making me slightly dizzy despite the fact I was still lying down. “I am so stupid… How could I not realize he was cheating!” My mother froze and my sisters who were just barely in the room. The room could easily accommodate over 100 people so maybe it was to make sure I wasn’t going to have a fit? 

“Honey… what are you talking about?” Mother climbed into bed on my right side. I saw the confusion in her face as she didn’t see this coming either. Ulric was against my left side his body hunched over my face. He beautiful eyes boring into mine as if he was trying to grasp how I was feeling or understand it at least. He was studying me. I pulled him into my lap as I shifted to lay on my right side. He was in between mother and me and despite that, mother’s beautiful long arms still reached my back so she could rub soothing circles into me. I slowly unwind and held my child so I won't strangling him in between my flat chest and my less muscular arms. “Girls come in and Close the door.” Mother ordered in her no nonsense tone. It told them they all had to come in we were going to have a pack healing session. I looked into my child's eyes and watched as he watched me. Eyes calculating, observing, and studying what is happening around him. His raven black hair as grown a bit longer past his ears, not enough to touch it behind his ears but enough to just barely tickly them slightly. I saw the slightest hint of them becoming wavy. Another trait he received from my side of the gene pool. I smiled and kissed his head. He didn’t need to see me such a wreck but I didn't want him to be sent away either.

“Mom?” I folded my legs and held him in my arms. Tight enough I could feel how bony he was compared to me. I was still recovering from an eight year slumber and he had no reason to be so malnutrition. I wanted to cry but I know if I started now I wouldn’t stop. So I started talk so my sweet child wouldn’t think he was at fault. I wanted him to understand everything from an adult's perspective. 

“Did you know Ulric can connect you to someone else's mind?” I looked at the royal blue blanket on my bed and noticed how Ulric's hair fall in raven black waves. His hair contrasted lovely with the cover. 

I shifted my eyes up to mother and noticed how her legs were tucked to the side properly as she sat with her back ramrod straight and her raven black hair hung loosely to her waist. The crimson red toe nail polish drew in your eyes and you couldn’t help but follow up her long legs to the red dress. It started at the tips of her knees and hugged her hips and curves in all the right places. It accentuates her curves and dipped in at her wastes as it rushed out to accommodate the mounds on her chest that looked just right and not a bit too much. My eyes quickly roamed over to her elbow to see the dress barely starting at the center of her well toned biceps as it stretched up to her collar bone leading to her well and heavenly sculpted neck. The dress would attract the eyes of everyone including the woman in the room. It didn’t matter if you where gay or asexual. Your desire to want to get closer as it brought your eyes to the contrasting but complementing stunning raven hair. Then as you realized you just ogled over someone's body your mind wanders over to meet the eyes of beauty body you just ogled. Her goldish gray eyes gave you the impression of someone you would never wanted to disappoint. Stern yet gentle but it never swinging too far in either direction. Her slightly long face only added to the attraction of her deep almost charcoal like skin. I felt her eyes go soft on me, in a way saying she understood. Wasn’t going to ask questions until she had the full understand with an open mind. “Just like you can.” I blushed as I realized I had to have been ogling my own mother's body.  

“Yes…” She didn’t miss a beat. Expecting the nickname for my first born. “I didn’t realize Ulric was able to connect someone to another. Even I can only do it for just a few minutes at a time.” I didn’t miss the surprise and fear in her tone. Ulric stiffened in my arms. “I am able to create a chat room for all to talk but even then not everyone's mind can handle being in the chat room for more than a few seconds or minutes. Something to do with too many mental blocks.” The fear may have something to do with the direction of the conversation.

“I found out my husband is…” I couldn’t say it. It hurt to think of it. “has been cheating for some time.” I felt the anger boil in me as tears fell down my face. We promised till death do us part to do things the proper way.  “He has another woman. Someone who he isn’t married to.” I felt my anger that was boiling and building to an all time high when suddenly I felt it begin to seep into Ulric.

Like he was a sponge and I was the hot tea liquid that need to be captured before it rann of the counter. It felt like he was pulling it from me instead of me pouring it into him so I guess it was more like I was a boob about to blow and he was boob defuser. Removing the pressure before I was at my limit and explode. I closed my eyes and held him tight. This child had so many powers it was a wonder he didn’t become driven mad with all of the emotions and power starved people around him. With the weight of my child and mothers soothing circles on my back, I sat up and asked what I know needed to be said. But should have never had to have been said. 

“Why didn’t you tell me, or anyone in the family you are sleeping with husband Julia?” The room went silent and finally as the final person in the room grasped what was said a low dangerous growl rolled through the room. I didn’t recognize the growl so I looked at my child. It was unbelievable escaping from his mouth and astoundingly enough it wasn’t human. This sounded like when young pup wolf reacting to what hurt his mother. I was so fixated on the astoundingly fact, my child is way more powerful than anyone should be at such a young age. That when Mother tried to slap her I didn’t realize Ulric, My child, blocked her hand. He stopped it only six inches from her face.

“Don't, she is with child.” Ulric said softly. His hand was furry but he didn’t shift… like he was barely in control. The raven black fur sprouted in patches and fought for more territory as it just as quickly lost the territory it gained, until it was his smooth ebony skin again. “Auntie Julia. I, who is neither but both, will act as the male in the house. I will act as the mediator and protector of both sides.” He was speaking so mature for his age with a dignified and high aristocratic demeanor he now carried made me look forward to his days when he would become the king. He most definitely would be a lady or gentleman killer when It comes to look for him in the future. I knew he had to have felt all the eyes land on him as he spoke of something no one has done in are family not because it wasn’t possable but because the woman in this family could get really vicious and hit well below the belt. Also because we only have females and father tends to always pick mother's side.

“You can’t do that… You have no title or status I recognize. As you are nothing but…” A low growl that warned her not to threaten his authority the woman in this room recognized rolled out of everyone throats, even mothers surprisingly enough. “You most definitely will not be dominant over me. Challenge me… and I will kill you, mungrile.” I saw red at such an insult. My arm fell out of my lap just as Ulric lifted her over his faril body and dashed off the bed. Only second behind him my three sisters tried to rip her arms into a painful angle i recognized at are families traditional way of popping an arm out of place for a good forty-five minutes even with super healing like Julias. 

Mother’s wolf was pacing back and forth in her eyes you could see it. Even though her eyes were almost always a lovely grey color they where now the color of a yellowish grey green tent. You know you were in trouble when the grey disappeared and all you saw as the yellowish green only. Her wolf just below the thin durmus of her skin, reflected in the light in her pupils as the alpha female of the Tully household, wanted to respond to the challenge so bad. The only reason she was most likely in control now had to be because Ulric removed the temptation out of three arms length. Everyone know what her safe distance was. If you were in three steps or arm's length within her reach she would strike like a viper. She didn’t need to settle this between pupps but I could see she wanted nothing more than to have an excuse to rip off Julia’s arms herself.

I watched as Ulric turned towards the pursuing wolves and inserted his dominance as both female and male. He had all three on their back in human form and pissing themselves. Mother and I was on the bed watching the spectacle play out.

“NO! I will deal with her.” The growl coming from him and the farmonas and dominance that he was radiating made me want to cower in fear. I couldn’t shift and I wasn’t a full on where anything but for my wolf to respond to anyone this strongly to affect my human from. Told me that he could possibly be strong enough to be head of the council if not that he could be in the first three seat of the council. Anyone who can’t shift usually has a gentec effect preventing it that can be fixed or has a dominant wolf. Witch I have both or so I thought… for my wolf to show he ruled me as well. “She is with child and I don't want her losing it. Even if it isn’t her place to have it with this man in the first place.” I felt the surge of power pouring into every word he spoke. As I took a quick glance at mother she flinched as if she too wanted to bow. No… maybe I was just seeing things and it certainly wasn’t true?

“Yes, our Ulric has challenged and dominated me. Just as he has done to your father, his siblings, your husband, and sisters now. Of course no one but you know he has dominated me. In my opinion even with me using all my tricks it wasn’t even a challenge to him.” I knew right then he needed to be protected but how do you protect an extremely dominant male/female no one but the elites of the elites, elite can stand their ground against? I didn’t know if I should be impressed or scared of the power he yelled at such a young age. “Be impressed. He has wanted nothing more than to protect his family even if it is from themselves.” I felt a new found respect towards Ulric in that moment. He may have been born by my blood and flesh but I know for a fact he had to be a god reincarnated. No way in hell my jeans could carry such a lovingly well rounded soul as his.

“Go sit with mother and nana.” I must have missed a part of the conversation. My sisters quickly obeyed and in wolf they all looked alike black and white mixed giving them the appearance of grey wolves.

“I will challenge you to the test of dominants.” Ulric sent the challenge and waited for the challenged to make up the rules of the challenge.

“Your will verse mine. The first to bring out the others wolf wins.” Fear filled the room. I looked at my mother's doppelgangers. She was the spitting image except the cold blue eyes. I don't think he knows that if she shifts… she will lose her baby if she is stuck in the in between from too long. Maybe she knows he does know that information and that is the reason she chose the rules? It had something to do with the plavus transforming shape and sometimes the transformation would cause the woman to lose their child because it could get violent if not carefully done and supervised by an alpha who know what to do.

“Ulric… You can’t…” Before I could warn him of the danger to his unborn half siblings he spoke up.

“I expecut.” Julia kcallked and gleefully respond.

“If I win I will kill you.” Julia cold voice spoke causing the air to drop at least ten degrees. That had been her favorite tick to “freeze” the room with a freezing gust of wind that came from her body. Ice wolves are known for that skill. Julia thought everyone was weak. After all she dominated over us as second female for many years now. She once almost took mother down but fell short by an inch. 

I didn’t want to watch but I know this was his way of getting back at her for many things. Julia kicked off her shoes and pulled on the cord only select alpha wolves could see. I wasn’t able to see it but mother had insisted on showing me how to pull others on instinct. 

“Is this all you have, truly?” Ulirc seemed to think for amount. “Give up while you have the chance.” Ulric didn’t even look stranded to the at slightles. Julia, on the other hand was now shaking something fierce, it appeared as if Ulirc wasn’t trying to rip the wolf out and shoved the man in. He was waiting patiently as she was seeing herself both physically and mentaly. I saw the blood trickled down her nose but I know everyone in this room had smelled it before I saw it. The fact that they didn’t say anything told me they no longer considered her family regardless of the outcome of this battle. 

Well we did have a pact as the head females are clan. We would ask for the blessing of the first wife even if it is your sister before trying to get with someone's husband. If they can’t answer you, then go to mother and she will make the decision for you. It has happened in different families were the sisters or brothers imprinted on the say mate. Instead of killing each other they let the mate pick and if the mate can’t or won’t do it then sure enough the alpha couple will do it. The Alpha couple of course has to be apart of one of the clans this will effect. Weather it is those who imprinted or was imprinted on. Once their description are made it is final.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

With a light tapp from one of my sisters tales. I started to focus again after all this was a very important moment in are lifes. Ulric standing over a half woman half wolf form. Her ears, chest and stomach where covered in sweet and black and white fur, giving the impression of grey fur in some spots that were blending better than the others. The hind legs where curved, bent wrong, and did not have the right lengths to match so she was unable to stand. Her tail was half bushing and half the length it was meant to be.

“She will die if you keep her like that.” I heard mother speak up as the teaching alpha but not challenging. She was providing him information he had yet to find out himself. He must have understood none of us wished her dead no matter how we felt because he forced her to finish the complete shift. Staggering around trying to get her bearings she fell like a toddler with no strength in the legs or back. I am more than sure she was discombobulated from the sudden and not so gentle shift at all. Her brain not used to sudden shift may have had a hard time understanding causing the muscles in her body to have a hard time following an already confused mind. 

“Kneel…” She didn’t respond at first but once she got her bearings, a fight broke out as she snapped at his heel. Like an alpha telling a puppy they did wrong but this snapping would have ripped their paws off. “If you don’t kneel I will make sure you lose my siblings and that you will never carry again.” I shivered at how cold his voice was. Colder than this room. Julia know that would be a death sentence all on it’s own, if she couldn’t give the Adira family a son then he wouldn’t even acknowledge the unceremoniously mating they had done. He would move on to his second wife or try and keep me by his side. She kneeled full body on the floor head down and tale in between her legs. “Shift back and get out of our site. My family will be having a meeting and we do not invite outsiders.” He was snarling and it barely sounded human. I watched as we all flinched at the athourtey he as edmitting and didn’t have perfect control of. If he did we would have felt the back lash… then again he may have done that on purpose. I looked at my sisters as they growled low and looked ready for the kill. He may have wanted them to understand his rage and feel the lashing of his emotions.

We watched in silence as an eight year old who had just put the one person in her place. Even mom couldn’t because the moment she turned her back Julia was trying to take her out again. She got stuck shifting and whined in keending high pitch noises as she was begging the alpha for help. Ulric didn’t looked like he was going to help but he did, surprisingly enough he did it gently this time. The attentive and slow way he did it told me he was making damn good on his promise. He was keeping his half siblings alive and healing any damage he may have caused her or them, at least physically that is. She didn’t look at any of us when she was finally human. Quikly she left but not before bowing deeply in front of Ulric and making sure she had permission. When she got it she fled so fast she left all but her shirt behind. 

“Mom… I did it. She will fear you and our family.” His lilac eyes looked so sleepy. “It’s okay now. Nana, she will be moving out to move into mother’s old room. She will learn first hand that being second best even if she is as first wife will hurt.” I watched as my child climbed into the bed and crawled in the center of the bed and rested his head on my lap. I rubbed his back as Mother rubbed his bare feet to keep them warm. The heavy atmosphere weights on me and I wanted to break it.

 The decision of everyone's Alpha had been cast and no one could break that. Only he could. The only thing he didn’t do was remove the thread of the pack but I was more then sure it had something to do with his siblings. If the took on the wolf trait they would need to be welcomed into the pack before the mother could be extinced. If the mother lost tied to us it is a possibility as an alpha female by herself any alpha male could use her as he pleased. Assuming he is stronger then her and my husband can’t protect her. My thoughts began to get darker and darker. I suddenly wanted to bring her back and try and sooth everyone but it weighs so heavily on me I couldn’t move. I was started to sufacted when I felt Ulric gently push in to my mind and display my thoughts to protect me. As my son and alpha he made me feel well protected and warm. I felt like he sat me on a soft bed that kept my true shape and alowled my mind to find a kind of peaceful atmosphere. It was only a few blessing peaceful moments before Ulric started a whole another war. 

“Mother, so my name is Ulric?” My sisters, who I hadn't noticed shifted to their human side, and mother quickly interjected and the name war began. After long collaboration and a few compromise we came up with this.

 First: Waldrom the powerful raven. Because it is are coven emblem

Middle: Aubrey: magical being, power. 

Last name is Tully meaning powerful people.

Nickname Ulric because my wolf gave it to him. While I was sleeping and dreamed of the proffice. It was my wolf my spirit animal that walked me through the proffice this time and the name stuck.

So one female name was his middle name and unsex name was his frist and last name was of course my maiden name. We decided this wasn’t going to go on record and it was time to rest as we where at this none stop for six days. During which we moved back to my childhood home. I owned it for sometime because mother wanted to cell it to live on another planet with father and I couldn’t let it go. My sisters and I agreed we wanted all of are kids to live a childhood we did. Where we could teach them the right weight to hunt and have are pack meetings. It was just a safe place for us so I bought it.

After six months of my husband avoiding me and Julia stone walling me I finally got the divorce started. I had a long time to think during that time. My family and I needed to bond at least once a month. 

Twice a month we needed pack runs and meattings as the pack was still growing and nerveuse Alphas. It appears Ulric was to powerful and because of that it always ended with a challenge. Never wanting to win and just wanting to have fun with the other pupps either mom would step in or he would just roll over for them. He never once told them no to the challenge. When I asked  him why he side their wolf wouldn’t understand he is no threat if he didn’t expect the challenge. Either someone recognized as powerful need to protect me so there wolf understood he was no threat or he need to be submissive to them during a challenge. 

That made sure the wolf would understand just like the human brain would understand it. When the challenges finally stopped a threat came at us before we could even prepare to protect are young. The timber wolves that lived on peak the mounts came down looking for females. The Alpha wolf were dying out as the low successful birth rate due to the lack of care the did for their females. The whole pack where in formation. The woman in the center as the males formed a crickle around us and the young where in side the crickle of females. Protecting the young is the first rule when under attack and second is perfect the submissive and pregnant wolfs and then each other.

The timber wolves almost killed my mother and that was the worst first move they could have ever done. Because of the high rank in the pack as the THE ALPHA female she had to stand next to the alpha male and his enforcer to find out what they could do to try and prevent the altercation. 

“Leave us be as we have not trust pasted on your lands.” Benjamin spoke in human tongue. If you were alpha enough you could do this no matter the from. Benjamin Was more white then he was gray. It was the Alpha males weight of being Identified from the rest of the gray wolves of the pack. He was still tenged with black so he had a few spots that appeared darker grey then the rest of his almost weight body. The only other two odd wolf out was my son who was raven black all over. Not even a speck of gray or white anywhere on his body. That was unusual because even his father had white and brown on his wolf from. It may have something to do with him being rejected but Benjamin was rejected but he still carries both traits of his wolf parents. 

The other wolf was my mother and she held every natural color under the sun. She changed with the seasons and when she is in danger or angered her fur starts to blow and become a darker color then it was before. I think she has the spirit of the wild wolf that passed on some six hundred years ago. It is said she had the gift of all elements but anything to do with the soul gift’s. That also was her weakness and could kill her with just the right person under control. Luckily for us it is so rare to be born with it not a single wolf in are last census has been born with it for over four hundred years. Or so we thought.

“We want females. It seems you have more then enough so I am sure you wouldn’t mind handing over… half seems to be about right.” The dominant male howled out. Where they lose their human side and becoming more beast? He barely sounded sane enough to respond.  Benjamin snarled at his response.

“We do not look at are females as ‘play things’ nor do we force then to take evermale in are clan. They are allowed to leave if the chose to but never will I let them be taken by force.” Benjermen’s tail wagged slowly and wait for his response.

“Gregger pull the alpha bitch to us. Let her leave the pack and become mine.” I tensed. What the hell was he talking about? She wouldn’t leave if she had a choice. I looked at the mother who was the color of all of the fallen leaves. Some greens, browns, tans, and reds. It was autem and this was when the most of natures beauty did a dance with many colors before it was time to sleep during winter. All of the colors on her suddenly turned into a sickly green and began darken to a deep green that wasn’t natural.

She stepped forward as she shock and won. Her tail was between her legs and her legs looked so stiff it was painful to watch. I felt in my chest the blue thread that tied her through the pack began to strane. It wasn’t pulling away like it did when someone wanted to break their ties with the pack. This one was fading and withering away. Like a thin stone being chipped away. Her soul seemed to be wavering from her body as she sunk to the ground. Legs flailing ever direction, she painted, whined and cried. Before I know it I had charged to her side and so did Ulirc.

“What wrong? I can feel her fading away but I don't understand why nana is hurting…” Ulric stopped talking as his nose grazed her damp green fur. It was getting to the point it was going black at this point and she was drenching the ground below her. “Nana, I will protect this pack… they are now under my watch. Go to sleep and when you wake the enemies will be gone.” Ulric curled up to her face and placed his head on her neck. You did this to a pack member to soothe them when they are in pain or needing of comport. 

My chest felt heavy and so did my head. I was going to lose my mother and there was nothing we could do about it. I wanted to howl for my loses, cry, and run away. This was to soon… she is way to young for this dear goods I didn’t want to have to bearry my mother so soon. I felt my body stiffen and I didn’t know what to do. I was so damn useless to the pack I couldn't even protect my own mother. Dear gods why did you make me the weakest one. Tears fell down my wolf face as I whined and poked her cooling body with my nose. Why wasn’t I born with a power to protect just one person. I laid against her back and did the same my pup. My husband doesn’t want me, chet and Amber hates me and wish to have never been born from me. They make sure I know it every time I get the chance to see them. I slowly entered into a dark corner of my mind my site became tunneled vision and everything seemed so far away. I should just leave the pack and die. No one would miss me. I am so damn useless the tempest wolves won't even take me as their play toy. My heart thudded in my chest and it began to slow down. Thudd. Thump… thud… thump…… thud. All I had to do was slow my heart down a bit more and I would stop wasting everyone's time and stop wasting the oxygen someone else should be breathing. Slowly my feet become cold and it began to ranch up my legs. I felt my nose freezing to the point of shivering and the oxygen was needed less and less. Everything was dark and quit not a soul to be seen. I was so nice as I let my body float off and relax into the darkness that seemed endless as it reached towards my body. The feeding hand hovered over my head when suddenly a bright light burst through the darkness scaring away the hands that had not yet touched me.

“No! SHe is mine!” A shrill voice screamed and reached for me faster. 

“No she is my mother!” The small light that seemed eyons away let out a golden puls of light. 

I saw bones scattered and broken from all kinds of beast. Some i could make out and others so far gone it was practically dust. The tentacles that felt like gently hands were actually sharp pointy tallen like fingers that belonged to the ancient race that collected souls and brought them across the bridge to death. 

“Mother, you were born as the soul healer of the pack. When there's a conflict who does everyone go to as the mediator? When a wolf is hurting who do the asked to comfort that wolf or clam the wolf? When your sisters argue about how to do my hair who do they seek out? When your mother was stressing as you were growing up didn’t she used to ask you to sleep next to her or lend an ear? You do have a power it is one only you have never seen. ” A new set of tears rolled down my face as I never felt so undeserving of my child. 

My heart was picked up it’s pace as if I had been racing for miles and miles. Warm quickly flooded my body as I thought of all the good times I had with my mother. With all my might I sent positive thought to help her feel safe. Then all of a sudden my two sisters where now doing the same. 

“And mother… just because you are weak only means you have found your strengths in the right places.” I couldn’t see them as we floated out of the dark place as the being screamed for my child to release me. Before we left my child said one thing that made me shiver at the prospect of what was to come. “You know it is too soon for her death to come as it is not their time. Let them go and I will send ten back in each of these places.” I couldn’t see it but I felt it. The darkness that was hiding the beings shifted and thought it over.

“20 for each or no deal.” You greedy bastard. The darkness felt as if it was trumpet.

“Five each and I won’t kill your minions creeping closer to us.” Ulric’s sent out another golden light that was twice as big as the last one. “I don’t have all day. We must go back as I seek to return the favor they have gifted my family.” I felt reluctant coming from the dark.

“Fine… I will take that offer but in return I want to from a pact. As you are the second to have this ability without being dead.” Ulric begin to pull us in some kind of dirction it felt like my right but the lack of light and landmarks had me reeling in confusion.

“I will soman you when I am ready for the Master servant contract to be filed.” I felt anger explode from all directions.

“How dare you try and….” Ulric sent out another bright light. It was so bright I couldn’t keep my eyes open in fear of going blind.

“I know you feel my strength and my age. Don’t play coy. I am naive but not so you can play me like a fiddle. I will be master and you will be my servant. Now until I have a contract I know will help the both of uses I suggest you let us leave or I will force your hand.” He sounded older and more confident then I had ever heard him.

“Yes… you may go.” The darkness fell away with just a few lingering words. “Don’t forget to sommone me. As I am sure we will have fun together.” My fur and skin crawled in a gross manner as everything came back into focus.

 It was like everyone was watching what was happening and to many things to take in at once was preventing everyone from responding. Everyone was still in the same place as I recalled before I… almost died? I felt my mothers traded had stopped crumbling and a gentle golden glow flowed over her thread. It slowly extended to mine and my sisters thread. This golden color only belonged to one wolf… this wolf hasn’t been born for eons. 

Just as I raised my head Ulric hopped to his feet.

“Alpha I ask permission to switch packs.” I was about to spring forward and demand him to rekent but my voice wasn’t working. My body was so lethargic and tired I didn’t have much energy to do much but watch. 

“I only want females… are you female?” He sounded so lost and confused he didn’t know what to make of the valunter. When Ulric respond he had never sounded more like a female in his life. I mean he was both and neither at the same time so he never sound more like one or the other.

“Yes, Alpha. I am female and soon as I am free you are welcomed to check.” He sounded so young sweet and innocent that even I felt I was looking at a nievi pupp who didn’t know what they were getting into. He made it sound like he was in his rebellious stage all pups go into at some point.

“Then I would gladly take you.” Benjamin tilted his head like he heard something know one else could.

“Okay, I will release you from this pack. Everyone goes to the alpha female and comfort her. Do not move unless you are told to my me or the enforcer.” Slowly the pups circled on top of us and the females circled round Mother, my sister and myself. Then than males quickly circled around us and kept watch. I felt everyone's confusion as we all watched. “You are released from this pack. I release you from your binds and any ties will be stopped. You are free young pup my the gods help you.” He wasn’t saying all the right words but what was I to say that? I am no Alpha. 

All eyes where up as we watched and felt the tread fade away. It didn’t pulled away from the center core that was the pack it simply faded. Like it was hidden but not gone. I didn’t feel any said ness or lose that usually followed shortly after.

Benjamin tratted over to me and began sniffing the whole circle and checking in with the other members with a soft smack to the tail and some received a prod with the nose. When he was done with checking the outer layer are infocareer rose and sat with his back to the pack and waited. Alpha quickly to a seat on the other side of the circled and together they both howled a sad song. It was customer to do that apun losing a member but we didn’t lose him. As the songs of lose faded into the mounts another song took over. 

It was like a feeling but I swear I could hear the beating of the native drums. Beating to the sound of all of the packs heart I could hear the vocal cords as the howled and YEa ye ye yea! To the sun and moons. In all forms from wolves to humans forms. This was the song known as at the hunt it was done before the hunt and sometimes after if it was specially a good hunt. I could feel the heat of the fire that soared high as the Irfirs lit it and towarched as high at the skies would let it. I could her the rattling of the rattlesnake tales  rethmickly beat as they used them as their moorcas. Everything started to become faster and faster. The rhythm paced with my heart as it was logged into my throat. Faster and faster then all the beats stopped as if all nose was suddenly turned off. I was now seeing darkness around me as I looked up the large full moon. The fire at my back and the moon suddled spoke to me. 

Wait. It said. Not yet. I didn’t know if I could wait my heart beating so frantically in my chest that if I didn’t run I fear it was going to burst from much chest. Almost wait. I felt my body grow stiff as I anticipated the one thing I wanted with everiber of my begin. I know the pack wanted it just as bad I could feel the restless energy building to a fever pitch. A warm gently wind brushed through my fur caused me a welcomed chill  as I felt the sweat trickled down my back from the heat of the fire at my back. Then deep houl ripped through the soundless night sky and well all burst forthward, as we know that was what we were waiting on. The feeling of my paws beating into the ground had me wanting to houlw with joy. I would have to stop doing that and I didn’t want to stop. Instead I imagined myself tearing holes in the ground as my body propelled forward as I wanted nothing more than with the dance to the beat of our packs hunting song.

As the sender faded was now looking at ulric who was howling to the dusk sky. He was howling to both the sun and the moon with the sound of the hunt. He was the howl we all heard.

“What are you doing? Come so I can check you.” The idiot alpha replied. 

“I will judge your sins as they our till this day. Come forth and I will tell you your fate.” Ulirc’s femanon voice was so alluring as many of the males wanted to step forth from my pack. If not for alpha and the inforcer nipping at them they would have gone. Soon as the other Aapla rached Ulric he crumbled to the ground. “I will see what your pack as been up to.” 

Hair fine golden tentacles reached out and grabbed a hold of the alphas body. It rememinded me of the darkness but his looked. Kind of goddly as he paused and didn’t so much have a twitch as he witched to his human from. As Ulric stood necked and a golden’t aura shimmered over him. Without so much as a twitch he began talking. 

“Your pack will die to day as you have lost your way. Not one of you will survive.” the Alpha pissed himself as he connected the dots to the wolf he was now faced with. “We will pay the game you love the most. Tag you are all it.” All of the wolfves ran. Fear was radiating from all of the fregn pack members. When the first screams and in human houls burst thought the tree the pack all became fearful even the alpha.

We need to go back to the place of the hunt… or some place joyfull. How did we get there? It had to be projected into all of are minds that had to be Ulrics doing. Before I could think of what to do a bear came bursting through the trees into the clearing. 

The small black bear was quickly closed on to something shining with wings and ate it. Maybe a Fairies? It quickly eyed the pack and charged at the pack and before it made a fourth step towards us. Something made of fire tackled it. Ifrit or maybe the descendant of ifrit. Fire blared fourth as it swallowed the wildly tratching black bare. Just then a warlock suddenly appeared and sealed the Ifrit way in a stone. As the warlock picked it up and swallowed it, a dire wolf size Leopards with a black body and cold like pattern ripped the warlock apart and devoured his stomach content. I went on or a few minutes and suddenly a Jagwire best person or maybe a black cat beast person came strolling through the clearing. She had a basket full of herbs in her arms as she smiled and walked on with joy. She didn’t have a chance to see the leopard before its large jaw clamped down on her head. He ate her body and violated it in ways that had the females despite there fear try and protect the young eyes from seeing it.

The Leopard suddenly jumped higher and snarled at nothing. When a tall gorguse, sex unknown, with long white hair steped out from hidding behind a tree. This was an elf. Long bow drawn and ready do fire. This was clearly by itself. I couldn’t tell of it sex but that did matter as it quickly was devored and vialated.

When a vampire male and female. Both put up a good fight nether made it. When a Human male and female entered the place grove they didn’t stand a chance either. Before the woman died she tried to fly away as she was Archangels and the male was an Angel. Both were eaten limbs and all. The beast was getting stronger with each race it at. Each time it at something it developed a new skill and physical trait. Like it was becoming something known and the first of its kind. Before long it had devoured everything imaginable and things I didn’t know existed. Leprechauns for one was said to be the kid imagination but was real. It also ate a demonic create I could only describe as a Denmon. Then a god was also eaten and it received the ability to not only use all of the creature's ability it had eaten but it could transform into them as well. The pack watched as the creature changed it features around but one thing would stay the same and it was the lilac eyes. It seemed to choose to keep the eyes as it didn’t seem to like any other eyes. 

It was in the middle of chagging sex when a black scaled creature came rouaring. It was a Black dragonman with deep blue eyes. The dragon looked to be the legendary king dragon. It was so big it made the leopard full size look like a dog. With little to know resistance the Leopard was devoted in one misplaced step. The dragon now standing in its wavorn from started to go through the change and decipher what it wanted as its body. It chose a human from with lilac eyes and fold able black wings. It spotted us and closed the distance between us. When a Dire wolf bust through the clearing and ran through the pack. It’s paw was the size of my entry pack in this crickle. It went through us like a shadow. Like it wasn’t real. The fight hit off and quickly realized this world was a descendant of the hellhounds from the underworld it self. How fire didn’t hurt it and it had the ability to control the fire as well as this being that had literally devoured everything it came across. It most likely was going to be doing the same thing if this beast can’t defeat it. 

The wolf was so nimble as it quickly got out of the way of attacks it couldn’t stop. Before the wolf fought just as vicious as the creature. Before it all was done the wolf had devoured it’s arms and wings. The wolf lost the use of it’s front left paw and it’s hide along its right side and right eye. In one last attempt the wolf charged forward and just as the creature aimed to rip off the hind legs as it dogged. Before it could grab him the wold shifted and it’s clawed hand ripped into the creatures heart out. The creature smiled and called into dust. When the world suddenly fall to the ground as it cried out to the heavens. The wolf was dying and it was howling as victory song out to the worlds. All wolfs know this song as it was mixed with Victory, loss, sadness, pain, love, anger joy. It was mixed with everyone emotions it was so beautiful. Night had fallen as the wolf began to breath what looked like it’s finally breaths.

When a gold with a tinge of blue light shown on the body of the dire wolf. A female voice spoke out and I couldn’t hear what was being said. What I could clearly hear after a few minutes was the beating of the two dying hearts in the dire wolf chest and then suddenly a third. It didn’t take me long to realize the heart that was ripped out of the creature chest had been punched into the dire wolf.

Horrible screaming took place. It was so terrible I could never be able to get it out of my mind. It was seared into me like a hot pocket pinpointed into my mind and seared itself into a permanent brain cell. Suddenly the voice could be heard. From the God above. 

“ You know have three hearts one is your human heart. It will forever be frozen until your first born becomes of age to take your place. Once that happens you will then age like an elf, a long graceful peaceful life. The second heart is that of all your beast you received from eating the flesh of this abomination. Forever wild but you and your direct descendants will always have control. Then finally the third heart.” She paused as she seemed to struggle with giving and explanation to it. “This ties you and direct descendants to me for the next three thousand generations to me. Until then you will all be blessed well and lead good strong lives. I will insure you will want not.” Three hearts… I was now inraptured but the sean unfolding. Even if I wanted to and I didn’t, I couldn’t look away. I wanted to take in everything that's happening and could barely remember to breath.

“My young cub as you are now many different things are now the first to exist as yourself. You will be God's assurance to destroy any corrupted souls and pertect what is important. Now… you will die as the wild beast and rise as the true King of all the known galaxy. Go and build your empire so that you may protect the weak.”

The sean faded with the god disappearing and the true king falling asleep. He had to be excited as he looked like he was turning to stone and his sleep looked as if it lasted for three days. When he broke free of the petrified out later he now had the shape of a strong man. His lilac eyes sported strengthen and dominance. He stood tall and looked over something in his mind. It was like he was hearing and receiving voice only he could hear.

His raven black hair that was once shorter then ear length now reached the grounds. Every time his hair so much as grazed the ground beautiful followers, witch was said to never have existed, sprouted at his feet. This had to be the first time they had come into existence. I recognized the witch flower, werewolves panacea, elfvn panacea, all of the known and well hunted flower sprouted at the tip of his hair. He slowly walked around as he calculated where he was and what to do. For some reason I couldn’t see his face but his body was well built and sculpted. The tone of his skin was so famileur I had my suspicions on who he was. His deep ebony skin with not even as bump present maid him look like the king he was to be.

Before long he had wandered off in the an Eflven kingdom and he was challenged by their king. It turned out to be the king's son who looked just like him as the king had died long ago when the leopard maid a meal of him. I put the pieces together after I saw the longbow the king held. He was corrupted and was quickly put down. This repeated itself time he came across a new race. At some point the world began its advancements. Numbers and links where maid so when he was out in space he could contact home and make sure everyone was alright. When suddenly the plants he visited recognized him a ruler and he created and taught the first methods of outer space travel to the worlds. 

He then set up a world with two of every race and that became the royal galaxy to this day. Where the house for the royal family stays and has access to all the world's he rules. Their were some worlds the rule and didn’t aloe technology to flourish in them. Other where advanced I couldn’t make heads or tails of what some of the things where. Finally after taking out so many bad people and things changing around he found a mate. This had to have been face forward as the people around him changed quickly and grow old. It seemed like mer moments ago they were young in their twenties.

After his first born he had three others. The first being female and the other two where males. He put them through training and soon he found the first born was the one who took on his trates. She was shifting many forms and had the safety for all gifts and more. When she became of age I watched as he rejoiced and had a large banquet. They laughed and danced. Then finally he passed on with a peaceful smile on his face. 

His daughter rained then came her son, then came her sons, son, then came his daughter. The family tree kept growing and it stayed with the main blood line until it followed down to bloody lines with the strongest ties to his blood line finally. It came down to my husband and my three sisters and me. There was an x on Julias face. I was on one side and he was on the other then came my three children. At least they were supposed to come but they never did. The seen went black and a voice spoke from everywhere and nowhere. It was the beautiful voice from the god before.

“It has been three thousand generations. My ties are weak and I have no presence in one of your children. He is corrupted and there is little hope of him ever become worth. Your daughter is on the edge of good nor bad. Fix this or she will be lost. As for your first born… it was never meant to be born. It’s life is on borrowed time and it will destroy the things you love and know. Get rid of it as the fate of your family depends upon it.” Everything fade away and the pack and I looked around wildly.

We were back in the woods and it was now mid day.No one moved at first but Alpha bork the tenshen and shook his whole body.

“It is over. All of you go home.” Benjamin ordered but he singled my family out as everyone slowly situated themselves and quickly maid a ancuse escape. My sisters stood between the Alpha and mother and me. I was still on the ground trying to keep her warm. “Down ladies. I am not here to fight. We need to get Ulric and bring him home.” Alpha sat down and waited.

“Your not going to kill him?” I asked with a small barely audible voice. My emotions where spent.

“No. He saved all of us today and I know just as well as you do, he is stronger than every pack of this world combined. You are all royal by birth right but the pack will not allow him to live. I can feel them want his and possible his blood lines death. In other words kill you all as well. It is believed he is to powerful after all he helped his dud mother shift into a fully functional wolf.” I felt a sharp pang as it was true. I never thought I would be able to survive a shift let alone run as one with the pack. Anger and sadness rubbled thought my chest.

“Easy girl. I want you and your family to survive.” I could feel the truth in what he was saying. Your aura and emotions couldn’t lie. I know my sisters where waiting for me to say something.

“He speaks the truth. I will stay with mother you all go and look for my child.” With no other words said they sprinted off to find him.

It ended with my family wanting nothing more than to protecting Ulric. So the boob shell was to let each child choose where they wanted to go. I know it wasn’t going to end with me getting all of them. I prayed for so hard and long my knees threatened to give out every time I stood. I didn’t have to look at the man I thought would make the most splendid father. He ripped this family in half as we discovered the harsh things that had been done to Ulric.

My father came down to greet us from his terroy, to show support, and mother explained everything to him. I didn’t know the details of the trourtue Ulric went through as my sisters said they feared for the kingdom's future if I found out. Mother did tell Father ever detail she knew about it as well. He stood by my husbands side as he stated nothing wrong with trying to insleet good values into someone so young. I almost killed him when I heard that come from his mouth. Mother and my sister were right on my heels. The only reason he is alive to day is because Ulric protected the bastard.

My first born was being protected by us and we were so paranoid he couldn’t so much a burp without us freaking out. The divorce was starting to get messy when mother found out five woman had given my father children. I saw father running for the heels as mother hunted him down, that was eight months ago. 

Some of the woman who had his children came to the door demanding money and a place to live. Mother didn’t handle their attitudes to well. She quickly told them she had the right to take every kid that my father made with another woman, as it is her right with the costumes of being the first wife. With increasing hostly also infromed them she would deliteldly give them a hefty amount, so they could survive. In return she then would fine them for their illegally sleeping with a married man without his woman's permission. Needless to say they didn’t come back and the few that did now feared Ulric so badly all you had to say was his name and they fainted. 

That was when all went arie, I  was informed that I couldn’t see my children. When the atrocities tried to take Ulric away they gods couldn’t help them. All I knew was his father quickly returned Ulric being for me to take him. He had the office paperwork going through custody transference for me to be the soul parent, while he forfeited his rights to any parental visits. All he would do is pay for the bills for education I room and board. 

The following day I was told I wasn’t allowed to divorce my husband because he carried one quarter of the territories we ruled. He then told me in court he was the true ruler, in a not so nice way, and I backhanded him. Mother showed him the prenuptial we had gotten. He quickly backed off as he didn’t want it to be shown to the judge. 

Fourth night before Ulric fourteenth birthday

That night Ulric and I was playing a board game in my chambers, when he came in with death maker. One shot usually made people want nothing more then wish for their deaths the next four days the hangover was that bad. It seemed he was often forced to drink full gallons of beer owls and had placed over six hundred in his infinite box. His attempt of trying not be forced to drink it if it wasn’t there. 

The infinite box was something only a one out thousand was born with. I was only born with level ten and couldn’t get it to level hire the twenty five now that I thought it though. After all I was level forty and my sisters where at least or over one hundred. Mother wouldn’t share her level as she was sure we would be made. When I asked Ulric about his level he looked completely confused on what a level was. 

Mortified the ladies of the house quickly gave him a crash course of everything. He quickly said he understood what was being explained to him but he didn’t have levels all he had where skills. When mother used analize on him she nearly fainted at the skills he passuesd at only level one. We did research on it and even took him to the original Witchers stone. Witchers stone is designed to analyze and display the person abilities and levels. The oreganil had the added bonus of seeing everything regardless of any skills you have set up to block them from being seen. The one that came after it didn’t have that a builty so anywhere else he could hide his skills and we made sure he had a book on how to do that step by step. 

It turns out his skills truly wasn't based off the tradition level skills but it was designed like a hero system. With a little bit more playing around we found out he could set up his grading system though many different types even mother hadn't even heard of most of them. We decided to give him a few ancient books on the different types of systems so he could understand when to use what and where and what it truly meant to be using the systems.

Even though we did are best to have a good time and not think of the impending future my family and I felt this clock counting down. The closer we go to the date the more stressed and said everyone became. Mother for a few various reasons was having a massive breakdown. I truly think it was because her third heart didn't start beating. My sisters and I had to explain why we had such a third heart that didn’t do anything. It seemed I was needed to help sooth her and Ulric and I were going to head over to help. We were cleaning up the shot glasses when Ulric's father showed up. 

I begged for Ulric to go to nana’s house and I would meet him. Just as he was about to leave the room he stopped and before I knew it, Ulric killed him. This all happened at the tender age of thirteen. At that age I remember not having a care in the world as my sister and I got into a whole lot of trouble. I now feared for his life and what it would be like. Even though he was first born the council would do the damndest to usurp the throne while destroy his reputation before he could even be seated as king.

With Ulric behind me we ran to my mothers quarters. Mother saw me breaking down and my first born behind me covered in blood. At first she was freaking out and trying to insure he had no cut on him. It was when her eyes flashed the yellow-green of the wolf she recognized what was now pulling me apart at my seames. Mother looked at all of us one by one. This wasn’t her normal Alpha fopa this was her mother instincts kicking in as she wished to take in everyone at this moment and time not daring to miss not even the smallest of spiddled and snot mixed into my sister clothes as they did their best to comfort me. Then finally with sweet’s saddest smile anyone had seen on her day she spoke. 

“It is time.” Mother's voice as strong yet so soft I could barely hear it over my ragged breathing. She slowly moved Ulric over to my arms and as a culture of woman we hugged him tight all having at least one hand touching him as mother explained everything in my stead. “Ulric, we must send you off to live a new life. There is danger coming and we need you to survive. You are the hair to both factions as you are first born.” With a slight nod he looked around at all of the women in his life. He gave us all a hung and kissed our checks as he spoke to us all. Each one of us spoke to him in a tough we learned independently of are own. No one else in the family knows how to speak it and how we liked it. It allowed us to feel like are oneself as we were already quickly close already. Sometimes we struggle with are Identity. With every word spoken to each individual person their checks grow woram and tear felled there eyes. Before he parted he gave each of us a deep blue crystal and a pearl. 

Then quickly he went around the room and started to collect things like water, medical books for all raices, food, some blood bags for all kinds, clothes, and weapons. He handed the dagger to me.

“Send me here… I don’t know why but this feels like this is the right place. Also…” He turned his back to me and shock ripped thow me. “My family is to be protected and this will transfer to the second born. If that happens you will take my siblings in. They have done no wrong so try and raise them away from fathers wicked ways.” I wanted to wale in sorrow as he didn’t even know he had killed his father. I watched as the family crest sunk into his skin and a new one’s sprung forth. 

It was part of the Eagle, Lions, and wolves. It was mixed in the griffin kind of way but this definitely isn't a griffin. The lion's body for king and queen ruler of the land, eagle wings as the king or queen of skies, With the size of a dire wolf the king of all creatures. The tail was in Flames show the power of ifrit or maybe a greater pillar of power of flames, The four paws looks dirty but the more I looked I realized it was made of earth dirt and rocks, the body was reflecting more blue and looked almost translucent show the water, the wings looked as if the air piller herself would carry these magnificent wings far and wide. The eyes was the most unsettling. It looked as if they glowed slightly gold with slights. Inciting predator of the day and night and the sprites. 

  My Ulric could hide in plain site if he wanted to. That was a shock as one has been born with all pillars unless they themselves have been blessed. Is this why he had to be sent to another dimension and not world? He wasn’t meant to have been born to me? 

“Okay… will do all that we can.” Juila said as she came in through the door. She hesitated and I was going to scream at her when I realized her being here felt right. As if expecting her to have been here the whole time he nodded to her and went back to what he had been doing. He slipped the dagger into storage at. Collecting a few things here and there as he watched Julia mix some herbs. “Drink this. You will sleep and wake up to your new home.” Ulric held the cup and soap to her in the love language she new. Tears sprang to her eyes as she bowed and went to her knees. She prostrated himself before him as if he was king and she was but the lowest of commoners. He said on last thing to her and gave her two deep pink stones and two pearls. With a nod of her head she placed them gingerly in her pocket and quickly stood.

We said are  goodbyes with tears in eyes and he drank it. The peaceful look overtook him. It was filled with nothing but the love for his family and his need to protects us. 

“Mother… this won't be a new world.” I understood as we all pulled out our portion of the warping spell. Suddenly I felt my emotion pull away and I felt indifferent to the whole situation. I didn’t care what was happening I wanted to get it done and over with so I could finally sleep. That all I wanted more than anything so I responded to keep things going.

“Understood. Let’s begin it is nearly the next day.” With the lighting of the candles we began chanting. The cedar was placed in fine powder around the circle. Mother chanted for his happiness to turvers to the new universe he was going to be as well as safe passsafe. I chanted the new location he would be living at and held the image of the dagger in my mind strongly, wanting to place him in the house of someone in the royal bloodline. I was placing him high in the food chain as a third son. I would place him into the house of a friend as close to the king if not in the kings family as I could. I wanted to insure he wasn’t going to visiting someplace he doesn't find dangerous as he seemed to attract it a lot here. It would be bad if he just pop into an unknown grass land as well where he could die before he woke up. I didn’t understand what my other three siblings were chanting. I had no choice but to trust that Julia wouldn’t mess up as she known how important this was. I wanted to curse myself for letting her being here. Then a portion of her spell made sense to me. She was wiping his memory and making him look more femaine and change his appearance. I couldn’t stop her so I did the only thing I could do as I started to feel the need to do more for my ulric. I didn’t want to disappoint my child as this may be the last thing I could do for him. I slowly entered a trance and channeled my heart and power into sending my child into the safest kingdom I could. 

All of our eyes were closed but I knew well all felt the dran and are energy and the building of the heat that began to senge are skin. The power became white hot to the touch and I felt my clothes began to disintegrate. Winds begin to whip my hair around causing it to lash as my skin and cass small incks that I know would sting. I screamed as the heat grow hotter and smelled of my flesh started choking. 

‘Stop or you will die,’ my wolf houled. 

‘No… he needs are help.’ my wolf shifted and I felt her trying to leap out of me. She forced herself to bend and break my joints as she fought her way out of me,

‘Then I will save us both.’ The pain of the heat didn’t even compare to all of my breaking bones and flesh tearing. Before I knew it, I stopped chanting and I felt the explosion as the spell went volatile. I prayed for my family would survive this and wouldn’t be maid as my eyes flutter open. My husband's lilac eyes glaring down at me. He didn’t die! Was that his doppelganger who had died? 

His eyes glared heatered down on me as I felt his hands close around my neck as my world shattered. Ulric’s thread withered away as it proved he died in the explosion before he could make it to his safe location. I did my best to send our first born on to a new life knowing how loved he was and would be. With my family sending our parys it still wasn’t enough to get him to a safe location. We had prayed for his happiness and for his safety and it still wasn’t enough. I hope with the blessing to the gods, my grandfather, he would thrive in this new place as the darkness gracefully took me.
