How was that even possible, it didn't make sense. I had never heard of these kinds of things except rumors that flew around about low blood magic, but there was no possible way this could be related to blood magic after all this belonged to mum.
I was a little frightened to open the box but I flipped it open eventually . The contents of the box looked foreign to me, there were some papers and a few other strange objects. There was a dark feather, it was covered with some sort of black crusty stuff.
I grabbed the feather and some crystal fell off, upon proper examination, I noticed that it was blood . The feather was covered with layers of dry blood.
What the fuck was all this, I gasped, throwing down the feather in shock, wondering why on earth mum would have such things in her possession.
It had the tell tales of dark magic and that kind of low blood magic was frowned at by the wolf community, no one ever associated themselves with the low blood magic welders.
I spotted a black ring with some inscriptions in it that I had no idea what it meant and slipped it in my finger. It fit perfectly like it was made for me. There were some other bottles and parchments filled with powder that smelled strange to me. But I dropped them back before I touched something that would blow up on my face.
"Maybe I could put a little in Blake's food, whatever he got after eating it, he deserved it" I scoffed, mumbling to myself .
I picked the papers that I had set aside, it was in mum's writing. I didn't even realise that I had been crying till a lone tear splattered on the paper
I hurriedly wiped my face , I wouldn't cry, not yet till I had exacted my revenge in everyone that played a part in the misfortune of a life I had right now.
The moon goddess was not even fair, after reducing me to the rank of a lowly omega with no wolf, all my life I lived the life deserving if an alpha, then this.
Worse, all I ever wanted was to find my mate but instead I was rejected by my mate because of my status.
I sighed in frustration, trying to clear the gloomy thoughts from my head.
Looking down at the paper again, I began to read what seemed like mum's final letter to me.
"My beautiful little pup. I know that you would argue that you are not little anymore like you do all the time but to me, you will always be my little pup.
As I write this, I remember how you were pestering your dad about being an Alpha after him yesterday. To others it might seem insane and impossible but I know that it is inherent in you to be an Alpha, the leader of your pack. You were born to lead and never to follow.
You were born on a night with the brightest moon, we usually named it the night of the moon goddess. I was indeed so happy that you were born on a day so auspicious. At least I know that you would always be blessed by the moon goddess no matter the situation.
The mere fact that you are reading this means that the impending doom that I had been warned about has passed and you must be distraught now."
I paused as tears began to fall freely , staining the paper. I wiped them away angrily .
"Blessed by the moon goddess my foot" I muttered angrily.
The moon goddess had not even shown me a little care despite my devotion to her all my life. She really did not deserve my allegiance anymore.
I could not believe that mum had known before about what would happen. How on earth did she know. I grabbed the paper and continued reading
" I know you are probably very confused as to how I knew that my death was drawing near. Just be patient, I will tell you .
I fear that I do not have time to tell you much any longer. It seems that they are here.
I'm sorry for ruining your life my dear child but I did all that had to be done and I did it out of love. I hope you understand in the long run.
Contained in the box are the ingredients for my practice. I am a low magic blood wielder. Please do not judge your poor mother. She did all that had to be done to protect you.
The practice is not what they say it is, I am leaving this to you because I believe you'd need it sooner or later.
Find the hooded man…..
Change your destiny….
Stay away from the prophecy….
I can not write more than this for now, but everything will be revealed in good time"
I dropped the paper in shock at the revelation .
What on earth was mum rambling about?
What did she mean by she was a low magic blood wielder, how on earth was that even possible.
Blood weilders were killed on sight the moment they entered upon the werewolf realm, it was just not possible that she had been able to escape under the radar all these while
Rising to become the Luna of a pack despite being a blood weilder was a taboo, there was no possible way that dad would have known about it or he would have had her killed
I knew that he loved her so much but he was a stickler for the rules, the werewolf council had made those rules after the low blood weilders had begun practicing their dark crafts on the other realms
From what I remembered from the lessons from the tutors that mum had insisted I learnt, it was only the blood weilders that did not share the common native language, Amoryyien with the rest of the five realms.
What did she mean by saying that the practice was not all it was made to look like. Blood weilding was wrong, it was disgusting, frowned upon.
I pushed the box aside, perpelexed, everything that I had known was suddenly contrasted, I was so conflicted .
Rolling up the parchment in which mum's letter was written, I put it back into the box and immediately I closed it, it clicked shut, then I shoved it behind the closet.
Noone could see the contents of that box for the mean time, it could spell ruin to me and my family reputation
Settling in the bed, I grabbed one of the books that I had taken from mum's wardrobe and the pack house and cracked it open
As I began reading it, I realised that it was the history of Amoria, before it was split into six realms.
Long before there were feuds and fights, Amoria was one of the biggest realms in the continent, it was the only realm that had diversification.
The wolves, the faes, the vampyrs, the dragons , the blood weilders and the Lycans lived side by side and were ruled by the Lycan king
In Amoria , there was a realm located just below the mountains. The forest that led to the mountains were never ventured into and even when they were, those that went in never came out, it was rumoured that, the demons resided there.
Everyone kept away from there and the Amorians refused to acknowledge them as part of Amoria, so it became the demon realm
The major language of the Amorians was the Amoryyien, however that was the central language spoken by all , but it did not mean that it was the only language, each kind had its own language
The faes had the Tarrish, the dragons had the empeyrrish, the wolves had the language of the moon which was the native Amoryyien , the Lycans had the Lyrishh and the Vampires had the dyamphyr
However, the Amoryyien was the only acceptable language at the market places, at schools , and basically everywhere
Eentually, the peace in Amoria did not last long when some of the factions began to feel that they were not given enough say on the Amorians council
The Amorians council consisted of the High king, and the seven kings of each factions. The demon faction also had a seat on the council because it was the only way to keep the peace but no representative of the demon realm ever showed up over the years.
However, some people began to think that it was time to change the High King who was a Lycan from seat, having been king for two hundred years
This was met with resistance from the Lycans who believed that they were a stronger faction and hence , the throne of fire was theirs to keep
This spawned the Aiki , the group that challenged the entirety of the Amorians system and demanded that each faction should be ruled by themselves and not together
At first, the Aiki, fully called the 'Aikinaum', which meant ' Independence' was a small group of people and no-one gave heed to them till the event that changed the trajectory of history
The High King had made a rule to change the seating in the Amorians Council
This decision of the High King forces the people to rebel and the Aiki was at the fore front of that rebellion asking that each faction be given their freedom from the tyranny of the High King and so brought about the great revolution
In the great revolution, the High King was killed and each faction went it's separate way, thus forming the seven realms
The werewolf realm
The realms of the faeries
The Lycans realm
The dragon realm
The vampire realm
And still standing in its own, the demon realm
