“Ok, back to the war efforts. I have a couple of updates and Alpha Keenai has an update from his agent that is undercover with the rebels. He has gotten closer to the dirty council member and could send us more footage. The dark lord has finally shown his hand to the councilman and has backed the councilman into a corner. I think we can move on to the councilman soon and get his corporation. I’ll let Alpha Keenai share the footage before I add my update. It will explain some of what you will hear on this video.”
We all get quiet as Alpha Keenai takes the reins.
“This video was forwarded to me yesterday. I think it was soon after the council had an emergency meeting, after it was confirmed that dark magic was used on an alpha.” Alpha Keenai says and starts the video.
In the video, we see the councilman approaching a figured in a long dark robe with a hood on. His face is covered. Why do all evil people always appear as hooded figures? For once, can the appear as a normal person. Tamaska just huffs at my thought.
‘Torooq, what the hell are you doing? Why would you target an alpha? I did not authorize that. We are supposed to be staying under the radar until we had everything in order. You need to fall in line before you jeopardize everything that I have worked hard for.” The councilman says.
‘First of all, you need to watch how you speak to me. I do not work for you, nor do I take orders from you. You filthy dog. Do you really think you are in control? I found you. I put the thoughts in your head. I fed your greed so that you would do what I needed you to do and get me a way in. Do you not know who I am?”
“What is the meaning of this? I built your army. They answer to me. Without me, you are nothing.” The councilman says.
Even I know you don’t say things like that to some hooded dude. You never know what he would do.
Torooq or whatever his name is hands start to glow red. He lifts the councilman off the floor and tosses him into the wall.
“I have been around since the world was created. I am the original fallen angel. All I needed was a body and a way in. You are just a puppet and my second choice. The vessel I wanted had much more promise than you ever will. He was ripe for my picking, but his fate changed at the last minute, so I was forced to pick a backup, and there you were, sitting on the sidelines craving more and more power. Jealous of your family members who had a higher position then you. You even used your daughter to try to gain power through your grandchild. I wonder what would happen if I were to tell your angry grandson the truth about his parentage. What would he do if he knew you and his mother lied to him about who his father really is? You know as well as I do that that royal werewolf never touched your daughter no matter how many times you forced her to try to seduce him. Not even when you drugged him and locked her in a room with him. The sad thing is, while you were trying to put your grandson on a royal wolf, his actual father, me is the most powerful magical being every created. Like my creator, I have power over all the elements in the world. I can create and destroy through magic. I can influence others to do my bidding. Only other were animals that are protected by the moon goddess are resistant to me, but thanks to your little research, I found a way around that and learned how to get to the moon goddess’ precious wolves. Once they fall, the rest of you will be easy picking for me and I will finally rule this world as I was always meant to do.” Torooq says.
“That will never happen. My army will not follow you.” The councilman says.
“Your army is already under my control and I suggest you leave this area before I take away your free will and make you another puppet. The only reason I haven’t is because you are still useful to me. Oh, and don’t get any ideas about crossing me. I have someone close to your grandson. He can be taken at any time or I can just tell him the truth about how you used his mother, and you were the one who actually killed her after she refused to continue being a pawn in your power quest. I still owe you for her death. She was one of my favorite toys after all.”
The councilman turns and leaves. The video ends after that. We are all quiet. I don’t think anyone knows what to think. The goddess did tell me that the dark lord was an ancient evil and it would take all of us to defeat him.
‘Ok, I guess we can safely say that the shit has officially hit the fan.” The king says. “As you can see, we are dealing with more than just a rebellion. I believe the rebellion was just a distraction to keep us from seeing the real threat.”
“Your Highness.” I say
“Yes Seleste.”
“When I was with the moon goddess, she told me that she created our ancestors specially to balance the power on the earth. The first Protector was given an equal amount of power as the dark lord to counteract all of his dark influence. She told me that she has given me all of the power of the first Protector, but we will need all of the original warriors to win this war. The one thing she told me that I have not shared is that most of our team is representative of the original warriors of the moon. In fact, I believe, we have an actual original member of the warriors of the moon.”
“So, she told you who I really am?” Councilman Bari asks.
“Yes, she did. She also told me that you are my guardian.”
‘That’s true. That’s why I have always been involved with your training. I was once very close to Fenroe. We fought side by side for more years than I want to mention. I then trained and fought with all of his decedents. The goddess told me when Fenroe decided to take his rest, that he would have a descendant that would have every one of his powers, and it would be a time when the dark one would rise again. Since the dark one is immortal, all we can do is limit his influence and if successful, lock him back in the prison created for him by his creator.”
