Nystrix stared at the woman who offered her a smile and recognised her. She was Gadmyne Theryss, a Noctarii members and the female witch. Being different from what Nystrix imagined her to be, Nystrix was less guarded to hear than she was to Illus.
Nystrix smiled back though still confused.
Why the hell I'm I going to the witches realm? And prophecy what?
"I know you are still confused about this whole arrangement but don't worry." Gadmyne held Nystrix hand and pulled her towards the direction of the car. "I'd tell you in the car."
Nystrix obeyed her though she badly wanted to see Luthien, she hadn't seen him after that unexpected kiss. Seated in the car, Nystrix stared at the interior which was entirely different from the kind of she'd seen or enter.
It was like a house with a living room, kitchen & bedrooms.
"This isn't a vampire made, it's crafted from my magic."
Surely doesn't give off a Vamp vibe.
. Nystrix thought and focused her attention on Gadmyne who was preparing the coffee.
"Never known vampires drink coffee."
"Witches do," Gadmyne said and poured the coffee into two cups. "Let's drink coffee, we talk." She walked over and handed Nystrix a cup, sat down and took a sip.
While Nystrix set the cup of coffee and faced Gadmyne, but Gadmyne gaze was on the cup which was set aside and her eyes narrowed which made Nystrix pick up the cup, took a sip before and the witches eyes relaxed.
What a weird witch, to think she'd care about a cup of coffee
Nystrix said to herself but trailed off as an amazing bitter-sweet taste, blended perfectly, engulfed her senses.
Hmm, so good.
Her gaze went to the cup and then to the witch who smiled at her reaction . Nystrix took another sip and admitted it was superb.
"I never knew witches had amazing coffee like this.
"Now you do," Gadmyne replied, her gaze pausing for a moment, "you might have known if Jacqueline was alive to teach you."
The words made Nystrix froze.
"My mother?"
"I had taught her during one of our lessons." Gadmyne paused and smiled. "Never thought I'll teach her daughter someday."
"You taught my mother?" Nystrix asked, why she would know more about her mother.
"Sort of." The witch replied and said words which dashed Nystrix hope, but nevertheless she would find more about her parents soon.
… And free my father.
Gadmyne placed the cup on the stool beside her the sound brought Nystrix out of her thoughts.
"Let's clear things up about you going to the witches realm and me calling you prophecy girl." The witches face was serious. "You are the hybrid that was destined to defeat the humans."
"The fuck?!"
Nystrix was dumbfounded.
Looks like this witch got the wrong person cause she was no messiah in anyway.
"Don't stare at me like that, Nystrix." The corner of Gadmyne's lips lifted.
"The rule which guarded the while realms, including the human realm, the rule of no hybrids, no interbreeding was a stepping stone for humans to gain control. Their plan seemed quite stupid but it worked really well, something that all Noctarii found silly to have worked, but believe me it did. Their plan was simple– make all the rulers of each realm sleep with the siren queen, Ethira." Gadmyne went back to that time, thousand of years ago.
~~~
Humans and Night creatures had never had extreme enmity before, though it wasn't all peaceful, it was better than the current situation. The Humans were tired of being controlled by Night creatures and sought power and wanted control, and the rule of no interbreeding was perfect for them.
A woman named Elspeth Cliveson came up with the ides and it seemed acceptable to humans but the problem was how?, and Elspeth, already having everything in order produced a syrup which was made from siren tears, the Siren queen, Ethira. The tears infused with Erosine, a substance that makes someone go want to have sex. The magic of the siren tears and the Erosine was so strong even the strongest night creatures can't resist. The gun was avaliable and the bullet was ready, but the timing? Yes
The night of The Nocturne Concordia, a celebration where all the night creatures of each realm gather in the Vampire Realm to celebrate and acknowledge the existence of the Noctarii and creation of the night creatures, it was a day the humans picked to execute their plan and gain control.
Two humans posing as Nythling Vampires, Vampires without extra ability apart from fangs and red eyes, entered the vampire. A male and a female. The make to lead the siren queen, the female to lead the other realm rulers with were all men. The male human informed the siren queen that the other realm rulers had started the meeting at the Oblivara, a place where the gifts were presented to the Noctarii for the gifts presenting ceremony. Funny thing was, the Noctarii had ordered that their gifts would be decided on the Nocturne Concordia, which was a way to test the rulers. But that place was now laced with the syrup that Elspeth had prepared. The female human who was Elspeth had also done the same but two men were not so eager to go– the vampire and witch realm but compullsion was inevitable with enough siren tears and Elspeth brains. The tears of a siren is like the strongest drug and can make anyone, just anyone and any creature do what the weirder wants and Elspeth aware of that took advantage of it and led the stubborn rulers who wanted to spoil her plans to the Oblivara.
But a twist happened and the vampire king was saved by the Noctarii siren and water goddess, Linrae, who some say has a soft spot for the vampire king and saved him.
All hell let lose as everybody, all night creatures found the rulers each realm apart from the Vampire king having sex. Wives of the rulers began a war against the siren realm and death was inevitable the war was aggravated and the war between all night creatures of each realm began but the Vampire Realm suffered the least loss.
But the humans were not done with the night creatures, they didn't just want disunity and war amongst the night creatures but wanted full control and power over them and Elspeth Cliveson was the key, gifted with exceptional wisdom and intellectual ability and drowned in the thirst for revenge against night creatures for the death of her family at the hands of blood sucking Vampires and human eating Zombies, she was driven to madness as she couldn't find her family's corpse.
Elspeth Cliveson knew with the Noctarii around, the war won't last long and she was prepared. She knew the truth would soon come out but she?, she was calmly waiting and expecting them, because she and some humans had collected the blood of each night creatures, higher rank and she personally drwe poison from it, a poison mixed with siren tears, a poison so lethal to night creatures even the Noctarii stood down but so harmless to humans, it was mixed into their food or given to children as candy. Night creatures attacked humans but were defeated so badly it was suprising. Each human they had fought with had the poison in them and they couldn't bite them or even come in contact with their blood as it was like acid that burns and rot them. The Noctarii had to step up but a poison made from their blood and a siren queen tears was able to bring them down, not to death but weak to their knees as their blood was slightly different but it was still lethal.
The Veilroot pill came into existence and Shadow wardens began to from with Elspeth Cliveson as their leader and humans reigned supreme.
But the moon goddess and creator of Night creatures a demon called Azazel didn't seat idle to watch their creations ho to waste, so...
A hybrid was to be born.
The hybrid would liberate the night creatures from the reign of humans, the hybrid would be the ruler of the night, the sovereign and supreme night creature.
"...And you are the one, Nystrix." Gadmyne smiled at her. "Your mother kind of knew as she tried to tell me but I turned her away..." Gadmyne smile dissolved and a hint of sadness could be detected in her voice.
