Chapter 99: ANCIENT ENEMIES
Chapter 99: Ancient Enemies
The power burning around Liana suddenly flickered as Elder Mira’s scream cut through the air like a blade.
"VEXANDER!"
Every supernatural being turned toward the elderly wolf, whose silver hair was now whipping around her face as raw anger transformed her gentle features into something terrifying. "You!" she growled, pointing a shaking finger at Councilor Vex.
"I know that face. I know those eyes. I’ve seen them in my dreams for three hundred years!" Vex’s perfect calm cracked for the first time.
"Impossible. You should be dead." "I was supposed to be," Mira hissed, striding forward with power radiating from her small body. "Just like my mate.
Just like everyone else who dared to fight against your rule!" Confusion spread through the crowd. Liana felt her link to the ancient Luna spirit stir, old memories surfacing like bubbles in dark water.
"What rule?" she asked, though part of her already knew the answer would change everything. Mira’s eyes blazed silver. "The first rule. When creatures like him owned us all." The world seemed to hold its breath as memories that had been buried for ages began to surface.
Not just in Mira, but in every supernatural being present who carried old bloodlines. "Tell them," Mira ordered Vex. "Tell them how you used to be our gods.
How you ruled from crystal thrones while we crawled in the dirt, asking for scraps of power." Vex straightened, and suddenly the elegant mask fell away entirely.
The figure before them grew taller, more imposing, with eyes that held the cold light of faraway stars. "We were never your gods," Vex said, their voice echoing with otherworldly power.
"We were your makers. Your makers. Your purpose was to serve, and you were happy to do so until the rebellion poisoned your thoughts."
