Chapter 1- Where it all started (Celestina)
15 years ago, the first-born tribrid completed her transition. She gained full power and became the most powerful being on the planet. Celestina used those powers to maintain balance in the world and so far she was doing a good job with her husband by her side. It is well said, with great power comes great responsibilities. To defeat Serene, Celestina and Xavier took some dire measures to make sure that evil was eradicated from the world but such action resulted in some consequences following the event which led to the greatest turning point in the history of the supernatural world. The world always demands balance and when someone toys with it, there is reciprocation from nature to get back to the balance. From creating a crater in Afghanistan to raising a hill in Kansas, holding the time still to bring back Xavier, the birth of two powerful offspring and the creation of an original vampire changed various maps of the world, climates were affected, and many more, many of which Celestina is still unaware of.
After Xandria was born, huge energy was released which could be considered as the last lock to the door holding back the havoc raining upon the world. Xandria and Christian were the children of the tribrid and one of the strongest Alphas in the world. They were bound to be powerful with extraordinary strength and vigor of supernaturalism in them. Celestina did her best to fulfill her role as a mother and her balance nature. Xavier turned after a few years and Celestina created a spell that made him the sole original vampire in the world. He took some time to get used to all the changes, cravings, and strength; Celestina was with him in every step and finally, he was able to fully accept his new identity. Xavier and Celestina were still the Alpha and Luna of the Blackwood Red moon pack and also the pack in Greece belonging to the Lucius bloodline. Celestina’s parents returned to their city and stayed there as the advisor of the pack, choosing a worthy leader after them as Celestina preferred to live in Fall Rivers with her family and friends. The Blackwood pack was a little suspicious of their hybrid Alpha and to this day there are still some people who do not accept this mixture but they are too scared to utter a word out in open.
“Do you think we should move?” Xavier asked his wife who was busy choosing wallpaper for their daughter’s nursery.
“Why would I think that?” Celestina replied to him after a moment, turning to her husband.
“I don’t want Christian and Xandria to go through what we did as a child. We agreed that we would provide them with a safe house and Fall River doesn’t seem that safe to me anymore. Except for a few, the pack is getting skeptical about us and they can demand a pure wolf as their Alpha.” Xavier voiced his concern.
Celestina sighed, understanding her husband’s concerns. “I know that your heightened sense is making you paranoid but Xavier this is our home. Our pack will accept us for who we are and with every change which we are feeling, all the changes happening in the world, I don’t think any place could be safer than Fall River for our children.” She cupped his face and leaned her forehead on his. “Our kids are the legacy of Fall River; we can’t detach them away from their roots…” Fall Rivers was the first place in her life that provided her with warmth and every happy moment of her life. She was attached to Fall Rivers and wasn’t ready to go anywhere.
Things did get better with Xavier and Celestina, the pack got rid of their skepticism and started to trust their Alpha and Luna completely. The Blackwood Red Moon pack turned to become one of the strongest packs in the world; people came to Fall River to seek advice, ask for aid, and support. Xavier’s dad helped him with the pack whenever Xavier had to take care of his Infinity tech company. Celestina was happy with her life and took her responsibilities seriously, didn’t slack off at all. She was trying to keep an eye on everything and the changes happening around her and find solutions for it. It was bothering her because she was unable to find a center to the problems and despite having a few doubts she still didn’t know the real reason behind such geographical and climatic change around the planet.
“Mars, I miss you.” She laid the flowers on his grave and kneeled beside it. A section of the cemetery was dedicated to the warriors of that horrible war. Every day in the evening, Celestina comes here to pay her respect and meet Mars. She wants to believe that he is still looking out for her. “Things are not looking good, I can feel the dangers brewing around us and I have no clue on how to deal with it. You always asked me to stay calm but this feeling of restlessness isn’t going away. I don’t want my kids to go through the struggles I went through.” She whispered with her head low. “I need your assurance that everything will be fine.” Celestina’s voice cracked towards the end. As if on cue, a blow of wind hit her face gently. Celest slowly raised her head and smiled to herself. A new determination started to creep inside her.
Since that day, Celestina started to follow all the changes and visited the place personally to help the victims. The biggest regret was that her time for her children started to decrease day by day. She couldn’t find a way to stop those changes and somewhere she knew she was the reason behind it so the least she could do was to help people to cope with changes. Scientists and professionals were trying to figure out the reason behind such a sudden and continuous disruption in nature. The area where Serene was buried with Adonis was converted into a danger zone as it looked like it got affected by a nuclear disaster. Kansas state government has already secured the perimeters and got people out of there. Xavier helped them find a new home. But there was something more that was going on but where; this was the question that played through her mind every second.
