Chapter 106
Eos could not bear the anguish of waiting; His heart was torn at no news of his love. At dawn the next day, Danna and Eda ventured into the towering high mountains of the northern lands, where wolves without humanity dwelt. Meanwhile, Eos, Dylan, and Heracles set out on their way to the Vilkas pack. They made their way through a gloomy, dense forest, where gloom embraced every corner. They drove along a track through trees that seemed to have no life.
Eos, his heart pounding with uncertainty at seeing his beloved forest plunged into darkness, made the decision to walk the forest he knew like the back of his hand.
“Sirius, stop the car,” he ordered the wolf driving the vehicle. Feeling no movement, he turned his head to the side, meeting Galilee’s puzzled gaze. “Galilee, take Heracles, Dylan, and my men to safety at a distance from the wall, where they can reorganize until I reach them. I need to connect with my world. I will be with you in a short time.
“As my Moon commands, Eos can rest assured that I’ll take care of keeping everything ready,” she said with a grimace of approval on her lips.
Eos took off his shoes, leaving his shoes in the chariot, and descended barefoot to begin his walk. As he went, flowers magically sprouted, weaving a path to the direction he was headed, on his way to his favorite retreat in the woods. Upon arriving, she stopped in front of an old oak tree, placed her hands on its rough bark, and closed her eyes in a gesture of communion with the nature around her. Lonely tears began to run down her cheeks as she murmured regretfully.
“Old oak tree, forgive me for not understanding the gift that Mother Nature has bestowed upon me. Ever since I got married, I have neglected my gifts and this magical place that used to be my refuge. He felt a leaf caress his cheek, and the soft sound of butterflies filled the air. When he opened his eyes, he saw how the forest regained its colors and the murmur of the waterfall filled his ears.
She walked away from the old oak tree and began to dance on the spot, twirling with her arms outstretched. The wind whispered around him, and the butterflies seemed to follow his rhythm, dancing in harmony with Eos’s light movements.
She stopped in her tracks and, full of hope, began to lean slightly from side to side. Then, with a tense smile drawn on her lips and erect, she expressed.
“I need help. We face the darkness, and you will be my bastion in this fight.
His words echoed in the air, laden with urgency and weight. Then he moved towards the herd, his eyes scanning the world around her, they were filling with vibrancy and vibrant colors. Arriving in front of the imposing herd, their gaze was fixed on a high wall, the doors closed as if they had already sensed the arrival of unwanted visitors.
“My queen, we can’t waste any time. An icy shiver ran through Dionysia’s body, as she positioned herself beside him. I can feel the presence of death behind those doors. Nothing good awaits those beyond.
Inside the majestic mansion, Sofia was upstairs, looking out the window, clenching her fists tightly as she listened to the melodic chirping of birds, seeping into the air. At that moment, one of his men cautiously entered.
“My lady, people are ready to receive their portion of food. It is ready and is being taken to the square. Are you sure what you want to do?
With an air of malice and confidence, Sophie replied.
“I’m absolutely sure. I know Eos and his group are out there, I can sense them. We must be prepared and win this battle. What better distraction for her than watching her people suffer? Besides, Perseus thinks that the kings will be to blame for the deaths of his people, who have denied us access to the herd’s entry of goods and food.” Now, I’m going to make you believe that that nymph is responsible for the coming tragedy. Stick with the plan and walk away.
The wolf left the room, he did not agree with the heinous act he was about to commit: the killing of innocent people. But his desire to rule a pack and gain power in the land of wolves was stronger. As Sofia watched the man walk away, she muttered in a somber tone.
“Eos, how much will you be able to bear when you hear the wails of your people and can only witness their agony?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Meanwhile, Perseus was informed that the enemies were on the outskirts of the pack trying to enter. His fists clenched tightly, while his eyes, once filled with vitality, now reflected a dark emptiness.
“Get ready. If you try to join the pack, annihilate those traitors, no matter who they are, don’t let any of them be left alive.
The Gamma opened his eyes, surprised by the degree of madness of his alpha. I didn’t understand why I was leading them straight to their deaths. He let out a gasp, nodding his head. Even though he knew what they were going to do wasn’t the right thing to do, his loyalty to the alpha prevailed. They were only forged to obey without question.
With regret, the Gamma left the room, ready to organize his men for a battle that was meaningless to them. Meanwhile, Perseus, standing by the window, heard the door creak as it opened. As he turned, he saw Sophie coming toward him.
“It’s time, my alpha. That she-wolf is outside the pack. One of my guards informed me that our people are in danger. If something happens to them, she’ll be the only one to blame for blocking the passage of food to your people. What little food is left is being distributed in the square. We must confront them, or they will wipe out your people and us.
Sophia had manipulated the people and Perseus, making them believe that the kings were responsible for blocking trade to their herd and shutting it down.
“I’ll fight to the end. If my people perish, I will die with them. I must make my way to the battle-ready building. The archers will be ready.
Perseus walked confidently and steadily toward the exit. Meanwhile, Sofia couldn’t hold back a mischievous smile that spread across her face. For her, it was thrilling to witness the deadly confrontation between the husband and wife.
Sofia left the office, determined to stay in the imposing mansion. From there she would watch the battle unfold before her eyes, watching the conflict from a distance like a puppet master waiting for her puppets to execute their sinister plan. The mercenaries were ready for battle, waiting by his side, ready to follow his orders.
