Chapter 5 The Lycan Prophecy

Chapter 5

At the same time of the evening, In a distant land shrouded in mystery and seclusion, a captivating realm feels like a world unto itself. This enchanting location seems cut off from the rest of the world, protected by ancient magic formations. This hidden sanctuary was the domain of the ancient lycanthropy race, the secluded Lycan Empire.

In the heart of the secluded Lycan Empire, a stunning palace stood as a beacon of beauty and splendor. The palace's grandeur rivaled the beauty of the lush landscapes that surrounded it, adorned with intricate carvings and shimmering mosaics, inviting imagination to explore its halls and serene gardens. This secluded haven, untouched by time, offers a sense of wonder and beauty, beckoning exploration and appreciation of its unique environment.

Within the palace, a vast chamber was adorned with elegant drapery and flickering candlelight, an important meeting was underway. Elaborate chandeliers hung from the intricately carved ceiling, casting a warm, golden glow over the gathering. King Orion, a strikingly handsome man, dressed in tailored black attire that accentuated his strong physique, sat confidently on an imposing throne at the center of the room. His dark, tousled hair framed a chiseled face, and his piercing eyes seemed to command attention.

As he leaned forward, listening intently to the group of council elders seated before him, their faces were etched with seriousness. Their furrowed brows and focused eyes underscored the gravity of the discussion.

Meanwhile, at the back of the palace lay a stunning temple, its ethereal architecture adorned with beautiful mosaics depicting celestial beings and ancient rituals. Within the temple, a captivating woman sat in serene meditation on a woven mat. Her eyes were gently closed, and her delicate features were drawn tight with unspoken pain, as if she bore the weight of untold burdens. Suddenly, her eyes opened, momentarily filling with a luminous white radiance - a startling glow amidst the dim light of the temple. As the radiance faded, her eyes returned to normal, and she gazed toward the palace, a heavy sigh escaping her lips. Rising gracefully from her meditative state, she reached out through the mindlink to contact the king.

"Aurora, what's wrong?" King Orion's voice echoed in her mind, his tone steady amidst the ongoing discussion. "There's an urgent matter I need to discuss with you," she communicated, her tone tinged with urgency. "Okay, I'll summon you once my meeting with the elders concludes," he replied. "It is crucial that the elders are present, as what I wish to discuss concerns the very survival of the lycan race," she emphasized, her voice laced with urgency. "Understood," he responded, sensing the weight of her concern. With that, she strode purposefully toward the palace, her heart racing as she anticipated the gravity of the discussion ahead.

The elders stood up to take their leave after reaching a conclusion with the king. "Your Highness, we shall be on our way now, and we will provide you with feedback on what we discussed," one elder informed him. "Just a moment," the king interjected, raising a hand to pause them, his expression shifting to one of earnest concern. "Aurora has informed me that she wishes to join us to discuss urgent matters."

As he finished speaking, Aurora entered the meeting hall with poise. Her long, flowing white garments, crafted from shimmering silk, highlighted her statuesque figure. Her presence radiated an air of dignity and royalty. As she approached, she bowed. "Good afternoon, everyone," she greeted, her voice melodic yet laced with urgency.

"Good afternoon, Aurora. What is it that you wish to discuss?" King Orion inquired, his tone warm yet attentive. Aurora's expression turned serious, and she began to explain, "This afternoon, while worshipping the Moon Goddess, I was granted a vision about the foretold war to come - a war that could threaten the very existence of the lycan," she explained, her voice steady despite the gravity of her words. A hush silence fell over the assembly, the air thick with tension as the king's brow furrowed. "Are you certain?" he asked. A heavy silence enveloped the room, the elders exchanging grim glances. "Yes, I'm sure," she asserted, her confidence unwavering. "Who has the audacity to challenge the Lycan Empire?" he asked.

"Orion," Aurora continued, her voice steady yet urgent. "The Moon Goddess has decreed that it's time for us to open ourselves to the world. They should know we are still around and strong. Dark forces are aware of our location and plotting our downfall. They fear us because we're recognized as one of the strongest among all supernatural beings, and the prophecy confirms this." Aurora's words hung in the air, her urgency palpable. "We are indeed one of the strongest, and we'll remain so, even in seclusion," King Orion replied, his expression serious. "But who poses the threat?"

"I cannot say; the specifics of the threat were not revealed to me," Aurora admitted sorrowfully, her brow furrowing with concern. "What can we do, then?" one of the elders queried anxiously. "Did you envision when, how, or what we should do to avert this war?"

"No, I don't know," she said, her voice tinged with regret. "The war will take place; it cannot be avoided. And have you forgotten the reason for our seclusion, the prophecy and the possible war?"

"Generations ago, a powerful witch of the witch covens foresaw a prophecy about us" she continued "A bond unique, two souls united as one, fated to reign. The elemental queen, blessed with the power to wield the forces of nature, and the mighty king, born of strength and loyalty, will emerge from the Lycans, destined to rule and lead the supernatural world into a new era of power and unity."

"This prophecy circulated the world, foretelling the emergence of a powerful Lycan, destined to reign over the shifters. Shifters, unlike humans, we shifters age differently, our lifespan stretching across centuries. Imagine if the Lycan rule" she said

"The extraordinary being, born of ancient bloodlines, will possess the strength of an ancient Lycan and the heart of a leader. He will rise alongside his destined mate, a queen gifted with extraordinary elemental power. Together, they will wield the forces of nature, claiming their place in the world and establishing a new legacy that will resonate through the ages. Their bond will unite and inspire harmony and strength among all shifters, serving as a beacon of hope for a brighter future. It draws the attention of the world to the US lycan."

"The prophecy left us confused, but the seer then confirmed its authenticity.

The revered Lycan seer, a cherished and respected figure, possesses the ability to commune with the Moon Goddess and foretell events. She leads worship and sacrificial rites in the goddess's honor, embodying the essence of Lycan culture"

"According to the seer, the prophecy is true: a powerful being will be born among us, and the prophecy will activate when the destined mates meet. The queen will awaken her powers, marking the beginning of their destined journey. However, their emergence will also be marked by a possible war unlike any other, the seer massage was only known by we Lycan."

"The seer also conveyed the Moon Goddess's directive: we Lycans must seclude ourselves until the goddess deems it time to emerge. This instruction has left us Lycans to seclude ourselves to awaiting the goddess's signal, our patience and faith tested as will prepare for the prophecy's fulfillment."

"No we have not forgotten and will start preparing for the opening" the elders that were having second thoughts were instantly awakened" with that the meeting ended.

After the seer told the moon goddess message to the Lycan some group argued that they should not seclude themselves. They should take action and start a war of dominance. Since the prophecy said they would lead and rule.

What would happen now that the goddess finally gave a signal? Would they emerge victorious, or would the weight of their destiny crush them? Only time will tell.
