September 3, 1766.
Erik Grigori looked weak as he tried to find his way through the steamy fog , demons and vampires could be out there , he wasn’t about to face any of them like this , he was too weak to face any creature , although they were really no match for him , he just wasn’t prepared to let them see the weak side of him , they could come every other day but not tonight, he has been suffering from this pain for long long years , he had been told that he was cursed from birth by a hideous old witch , he had not been able to turn fully despite being a full wolf , he doesn’t know the exact cause but it has to do with the circumstances surrounding his birth , before every full moon he has to find a way to get buy every time , with the excruciating pain and not being able to Change so well, he would not be able to heal well , he would be weak and he would be won’t be able to do anything by himself, though his father was an alpha , and he was supposed to be the next alpha after his father and mother died in the hands of the same old witch , he had decided to revenge. He would avenge his fate , he would avenge his parents, he would make her pay , if she wasn’t alive anymore, he would make her generations pay , for the rest of his life. Though a very powerful werewolf, that’s his only weakness, every full moon he has to find his witch friend , she has been the only one who had been able to give him temporary potions to aid his predicaments. And make him faster and help him with his pains.
It is another new moon now , he had not been prepared this time , trying his best to get to the caves as quick as possible, with his speed gone along with his speedy healing there was not much he could do.
“Damn the curse “ he cursed
He could see the entrance now , just a little longer and he would be there.
Selena Almolf , the beautiful witch from the lines of great great witches , her powers had been passed down to her by her grandmother she had not liked it at first , cos now she was limited to so many activities, but she liked to help people and children who were struggling to fit into their supernatural abilities, and she loved that she was able to help Erik too. Erik has made had her embrace her own powers , though a powerful werewolf himself, As the only Sandalio alive , there was absolutely no one he was afraid of, Sandalios have the true wolf spirit , he wouldn’t accept any help from anyone, he was prideful like that , and she liked that he always comes to meet her in his weakness. She could see his figure now behind the trees as he was struggling, she ran outside to help him out, she had been expecting him before now but he had to get settle some other things in another town , it could have been a wench, he liked his women, but he should have known better than to stay too late.
Selena could feel the thick mist crept slowly around her body like a moving shroud of unease , she could feel the creatures around the cave, but even though she could feel them , they would never see her , she had done some protection spell said before leaving the cave
“Why did you take so long , Erik ? You should have know better “ Selena quickly covered him with the protection spell as they made their way into the caves.
“Do not speak to me that way witch , I do whatever I want” still grunting, he would never accept his faults, he knows full well he was there to receive help. “I’m only here to get away from the damn curse and for your portions”
Selena didn’t even say a word to that , that always happens, she is used to it by now.
“Erik , this potions wont work like they used to anymore , we need to find a new cure, it will fail you when you least expect it” she wasn’t looking at him, she was fearful of him .
“Damn it! No wonder it feels more and more unbearable, witch! Find me something that will help me with this, or I’m going to tear you into pieces “ he growled
“You know I’m the one who is doing the helping here , just lay down and let me help you, you can’t do anything to me right now “ she fired back.
After she gave him the potion to swallow, he relaxed a bit and told him the whole ordeal would soon be over and he would go back to his human form, “atleast you look beautiful in that state , now you look horrid , I’m almost scared of you with the way you look right now”
He had cuts all over his body , with the way his teeth were all over his , he wasn’t healing fast , even though she had seen almost all the creatures, including the lesser demons and even the vampires , here he was looking like the most horrible of them all. No wonder he agreed only to come into the caves.
He tried to get up
“ I hope you know i can hear everything you keep thinking , my body is weak doesn’t mean I loose all my powers “
That’s what she hated about being around him , she knows there was no way hiding , he knew everything.
“Just sleep and let the potion do it’s work, I’m going to find what we should before you wake up”
She went away to cast more spells , she has to find away a way to help me be whole again.
She mixed different potions together, she carried the book of knowledge that had been passed down to her , she looked again if there was something, but there wasn’t. She wondered why there was no cure for this , she wonder why she couldn’t find a breakthrough to his curse , she thought the book was supposed to have every solution to all problems.
She continued to make more potions , that was all she could do for him and she would try her best.
By the time it was morning, he was already back to his human form , Selena found some of his clothes and gave them to him , he quickly put them on and tried to leave, he had his full strength back , He was huge , with his broad shoulders made menacing by the black ankle-length Macintosh that swirled about his legs , he was fast too , he just left without a backward glance , until the next full moon.
