The Demi-Goddess of the Alpha

01: Manticore

Third Person

Howls started to fill out the sky as the wolves are chasing the Manticore — one of the most forbidding of all mythical creatures. It was a bloodthirsty quadruped that has sported the head of a blue-eyed man, the auburn body of a lion, and the stinging tail of a scorpion.

The mythical creature started to run in the forbidden forest where it belongs, the eyes of the wolves are now red that symbolizes that they’re now angry. It steals the son of the Drottghes and wants to eat it, the fresh blood of his prey caught him and wants to obtain the unique power that they have.

He wants to obtain the Fire of life.

It’s been 200 years since a new alpha was given by the prophecy, the one who will lead their pack in the World of the Deshaun and Sphere of Mortals. They’re waiting for this time to come, and now it’s finally here.

The World of Deshaun was the rule of the Olympian Gods and Goddess but, now they’re starting to pick in the four who will be the ruler of the Empire.

The darkness started to fill the sky while the Manticore still holds the baby Flitiarn, the wolves began to get help to the Olympian Goddess — Artemis, who is the one that they’re praying for

Every creature has someone that has faith in, like the Vampires who are loyal to Hades because it represents the underworld while the Mortals are praying for his brother, Zeus because he is known for being the King of the Olympus but, the Mermaids and Sea Creatures just only praying in their God, Poseidon.

The howls of them get above the sky, and it’s wake up Artemis.

“It looks like my tribe needed my help, Hermes come here!” Artemis shouted, and the messenger of the Gods came near to her.

He looks like Peter Pan in his outfit, that’s always what they say.

“Give the wolves this human baby, the sacrifice for the Manticore so, it will give back the alpha baby, Flitiarn. And say to them that my blessing for him is already given.” She said and started to give the Human baby to him. The Manticore will not eat the little girl because she is made in the rocks that will be hard for him to eat.

Apollo, his twin, said to him that this day will happen so, she prepared for this. She gets the baby in the Sphere of Mortals when she is in disguise, and her parents can’t provide for her needs; that’s why they offer the baby to her in exchange for wealth. What a useless mind they have, giving up their flesh and blood to someone for their wealth angers Artemis, but, because of that, her works became simple.

The mind of the Mortals is like, the garden they will only treat the beautiful flowers and throw away the ugly ones it is like if someone is rich, they are treating them accordingly but if it’s flawed, they will treat them trash. If they have a use for you, then they will show you kindness, but if they don’t think that you can come near them but, maybe that works with other Mortals only.

Hermes goes down from the sky while playing his trumpet, the Manticore gives him to gaze and starts to run, but, Flion — the father of Flitiarn and the current Alpha stops him.

“God Hermes, what is the message of our Goddess Artemis?” He said and bow to him, the wolves started to bow, and the Manticore stops too when he sees the Human baby that he is holding.

“Is that the Human baby in the prophecy that will be given to me?” The Manticore asked while still holding young Flitiarn.

“Yes, in exchange for her you need to return the baby that you get from the Drottghes family,” Hermes stated, but, the Manticore is not satisfied with what he says.

He wants to get the Fire of Life but, the baby in the prophecy for him is here. The blood of her when she became a fair lady is what the Manticore needed to live forever.

“There’s no way I will give them back this baby that has the Fire of Life, just give me the Human baby you’re holding, and I will spare your life!” The Manticore growled, and he began to transform into a giant monster.

A shock filled in their faces while they started to get ready when he attacks, but, the Manticore angers Hermes because of his disrespectful behavior.

“Sopunta!” He cast a spell, and the clouds started to shower a cloud of dust to the Manticore and makes him sleep for 24 hours.

“That was easy, and I didn’t think about it awhile ago,” Hermes said while laughing, while the wolves are just staring at him.

“Why none of you is laughing?” Hermes asked, and they started to laugh, but, they laugh a howl. Papers began to pour from the sky, and Typhon was called Hermes.

“It looks like my time has come.” Hermes gulp maybe, because who hasn’t afraid of Typhon?

He started to get the baby in the sleeping Manticore and give it back to the pack of wolves and leave the human baby on the rock that is near the Manticore.

“Okay, Artemis said that she has already given her blessings to Flitiarn. Now go back to your tribe and don’t come back here in the Forbidden Forest.” Hermes advises and started to fly, but before he leaves, he winks at Samantha Battlerce.

“Now, there are more things we should do in the tribe,” Flion said and started to go back in the Lair of the Kracht — the home of the werewolves.

When they came back to their tribe, a white envelope was given to Flion.

Battlerce Tribe,

Sphere of Mortals

Greetings to our Leader, Flion. The tribe of the Aqua family was starting to lose their power— not the ordinary ability they have but the energy that is given in the four families in the werewolves. They lost the water powers, a rumble of thunder killed their Alpha Lucas, and they said that it would be the cause of them to steal our Fire of Life.

Beware of them, they became an enemy of our tribe, and we aren’t sure of the Turf and Whiff if they are still our allies.

I hope this letter finds you,

Shawn Poland Battlerce

“Now, there will be a lot of changes that will happen in our tribe.” Atlas Lobstrosfoxed said while his gaze is in the King, Flion.

“Yeah, probably. We have a meeting, call the council, the problem in the other families will affect us.” Flion answered to him, it’s needed to talk in his counsel, so they know what the others decide.

This will be affecting the whole tribe if only his father is still here; then, it will be resolved immediately. When his father died, the Aqua family started to act strangely. They are reporting that their loyalty has begun to give in Severina Occult, the leader of the Black Magic.

A lot of voices started to fill the whole counsel room, and they’re fighting in their own opinions when Flion enters the room the noise began to go down.

“Sit down, Victoria. I will stop them.” Flion said while she bows down and sits down in her seat. Being a peacemaker is so annoying, how can she handle twenty wolves in the room and she only has herself?

Flion started to cough, and their attention was caught, they bow to him and sit down in their chairs.

“We should erase the whole Aqua family in the Lair of the Kracht, and they are our enemy now. There is no way that their ancestry will be our ally again, they’re traitorous. They need to be punished in the dungeon!” Andrè Heorowulf Angentha said while his fist is closed and stands up to get the attention of the counsels.

“But, they’re still one of the four families. We can’t punish them in the dungeon, and it’s too much!” Samantha Battlerce answered, but, the counselors are broken into two opinions.

And, it became a debate. They started to express their opinion by doing a discussion on it.

“If we will let them go, they will start to occupy our Lair here in the Deshaun!” The other counsel said but, the other side always has to answer.

“Okay, that’s enough. My decision will be given tomorrow. I will think about all your opinions.” Flion said, and stand up.

When Flion goes outside, their debate doesn’t end when Victoria stops them.

“Stop all of you. The King is not here. Go back to your own business now!” She shouted, and all of them started to go outside.

“Let’s meet outside, Mi Amorè.” Andrè Heorowulf whispered to her ears that give her tickles.

She just nodded, and Andrè wore his coat and went outside.

A sigh, release to Flion when he enters his room, being a leader is stressing him now, he needs to decide on what side he will be favored.

He started to pour his favorite wine in the glass and started to open the window to see the view on the outside.

He started to drink his favorite wine when a red envelope goes down in the window of the room of Flion, “Let’s meet. —Arantxa Diem”
