[--A day before the meeting of the Altum Council--]

Somewhere in a secluded stormy Island.

​​

An island which always rains and have deafening lightning due to powerful weather spells casted by the former General Warlock, Callisto, in order to repel other animals or any beings, supernatural or human, to travel to that island.

Despite the island being filled with trees and bushes, it has no life around the island except for what is inside the shabby and old dilapidated hut on the outside but completely normal on the inside.

The old hut is surrounded by a powerful deceptive illusion spell. Callisto made it difficult for anyone to find it. Especially, there are powerful spells used to conceal the appearance of the old hut and whatever is inside it.

The Great Oracle, a person who has been missing for a long time is hiding in this hut.

Though, he may seem wise and all-knowing but his own abilities has greatly weakened after the death of his beloved first love who was killed by King Lionel, the evil King of the Vampires.

Then there it is, a lonely old man wearing white plain robe is sitting on a magical wooden chair. Reminiscing the moment where he gave in to his weakness. Allowing the enemies to know about the prophecy that was revealed in his visions.

'Oh, I miss the scent of home…

How long it has been since you've been gone…?'

Silently thought by the Great Oracle while holding a teacup as he sighs.

Looking at the wet misty window as he takes another sip. It is raining as usual.

A hot teapot is placed on a metallic tea potholder, to avoid any spill on the magical wooden table.

The Great Oracle took notice of the sudden change of weather, from a stormy rain into a clear sunny sky.

While the Great Oracle sips his hot tea, the magical wooden door of the old hut suddenly exploded.

Then, the King of all Alpha Werewolves appeared with a cherry-haired woman wearing a black trench coat while King Viktor wearing his brown fur coat and usual formal attire.

"Hmmm… what an entrance, King Viktor. You could have just knocked. Then, I would have opened it for you, rather than blowing up the poor door." calmly said by the Great Oracle towards the Alpha King.

"Hah! Finally, in the flesh! THE – GREAT – ORACLE! …

How long it has been, Oracle? Mind if I …" King Viktor gestures toward the wooden chair in front of the Great Oracle after giving a spectacle greeting.

"Oh, Of course! Where are my manners, You may take a seat. Forgive me if I could only offer one." The Great Oracle smiles after responding to King Viktor.

The Alpha King takes a glance on the cherry-haired woman he is with. He seems to signal her for something before he went ahead.

"D-I-S-R-U-M-P-O!" chanted by the cherry-haired woman pointing towards the magical wooden table.

>>

A spell casted by powerful witches that breaks anything it hits into crumbles or pieces. It requires powerful energy and an experienced caster before it can be casted successfully or else it causes a return hit to an amateur caster.

At the same time the spell was casted, the magical wooden table tried to whip its roots towards King Viktor but it broke into pieces before it successfully lands its hit.

While the table slowly turning into pieces.

"RESCINDO NOVIS !" chanted next by the cherry-haired woman accompanying King Viktor.

The bright glow around the house disappeared and everything became plainly dull.

>>

A spell casted by powerful witches in order to negate, repeal and cancel any magical essence that surrounds a particular area. It turns everything into normal whatever object affected by magic or any enchantment. An inexperienced caster will create no effect.

"Is it done?" King Viktor asked the cherry-haired woman accompanying her.

"Yes, everything is clear now!" replied by the cherry-haired woman.

King Viktor, the King of all Alpha Werewolves, sits on the wooden chair in front of the Great Oracle.

"Forgive me for the theatrics, oh Great Oracle! I want to make this short, will you join my cause or are you against it? Simple as that. Though, if you join my cause, I can assure your safety and your disciple's." confidently asked by King Viktor.

"The same answer as the late Queen Esmeralda told you and my other friends. One thing I assure you, Oh, King of all Alpha Werewolves!

Y-O-U still need me since another great war is about to unfold…

Not the little squabble you have issued against King Lucius…

More of… the great war of the 3 DARK KINGS against the next chosen one …" calmly revealed by the Great Oracle and smiled at King Viktor while King Viktor's expression is starting to lose its cool.

King Viktor clenches his fist hearing the Great Oracle refusing his invitation to join him. He also knows that the Great Oracle also speaks the truth about his need for him.

"Nolan!" screamed by the King of all Alpha Werewolves.

"Yes, your Highness!" Beta Nolan hurriedly came to King Viktor's call.

"Take the Great Oracle! We will be leaving now!" King Viktor agitatedly stood and left with the cherry-haired witch.

The Great Oracle stood calmly and with no sign of distress nor fear.

=================

Prince Alcyd knocks into the door before he enters to a hospital private ward.

"How are you Garrett? Feeling better?" Prince Alcyd asked his Beta.

Athena, the Beta's mate, stood up as the Alpha Prince enters alone. She immediately offered Prince Alcyd some seat but the Alpha Prince refused and preferred to stand by the window next to his Beta.

Then, the Alpha Prince opened the curtains.

"No wonder Garrett is healing quick, both of you are doing dirty things here in the hospital bed. Well, it is not wrong since both of you are mates." said tactlessly by Prince Alcyd after opening the curtains.

Garrett was surprised by Prince Alcyd's remark while Athena blushed next to her mate, as she holds on to the hands of her mate.

"Do not accuse me with the things you wish to do. You are so perverted!" nervously retort by Garrett.

"Oh come on! Do not act like you are still a virgin! Do not give me that crap. Anyways, I am here because I want to inform you that we are going back sooner. As soon as Theo, Jackson and the other warriors recover completely, we are going back. We have plenty to accomplish." Prince Alcyd comfortably telling his best friend.

'You just miss someone…' Kratos, Prince Alcyd's spirit wolf, sudden remark in the mind of Prince Alcyd.

'Yes, I must admit. But I just miss the scent of home.' Prince Alcyd admitted to his spirit wolf while letting out a deep sigh.

'There is no place like home.'

=========================

Somewhere in a wide plains, a village burning to the ground.

Group of werewolves witnesses from a distance over viewing the gore and screams of the villagers while the entire village is burning.

'We were too late…' Lucas announces in the mind-link with the other rogue werewolves.

Then a sudden presence appeared from behind them, revealing itself from the shadows of the trees.

"I mean no harm! Bring me to your King. I have a proposal for King Lucius, the new King of the Rogue Werewolves."

Declared by the mysterious woman covered with a golden mask and enchanted glittering emerald coat.

A loud growl created by Lucas in his wolf form.
