Elliot's POV
At last, after a long journey, We reach the entrance of the ancestral mausoleum.
"This is the Pheonix Gate of Death. Inside is our ancestral mausoleum." Grandma Alice says looking at Allyson. Allyson seems confused about what is happening. The surroundings are such a magical place. This was built by witches and sorcerers in ancient times. I know he has many questions in his mind but I will not answer them for I have no right to tell the answer, I think. It is Grandma Alice who needs to answer his questions.
"Come on, let's get inside now, hurry up," I said. The warriors follow my command.
Allyson's mouth opens wide as he sees coffins in the clouds. Grandma Alice waves her hand that the clouds move and it forms the cloud stairs. We are following grandma Alice as we step into the clouds behind us are Allyson and the warriors. I attentively watched and guard Allyson. We reach the cloud floor, with the alignment of many coffins for high ranks officers like uncle Muffy, who serve their royals and the people. Now, uncle Muffy will be joined them. I felt sad and miss him now. I look to Grandma Alice when she speaks.
"This is it. This is where our great high-rank officials lie." Grandma Alice said. After this a speck of gold dust that writes the name: General Muffy. It is amazing!
"Put him there." Grandma Alice command. Allyson suddenly asks grandma Alice.
"Grandma, this is a magical mausoleum that no human beings have. I only see this in the movie. So please tell me the truth grandma, are you..a-are you human?" Allyson asks curiously. Grandma and I look at each other but I see the peacefulness and calmness on her face before she speaks.
"Allyson, it's time for you to know the truth. Yes. I am not human-like supposed you know." Grandma Alice said. Allyson was surprised that he stares at me. I was felt nervous. I gulp.
"So, are you, Elliot?" Allyson asks afterward look at me intently. I stare at his eyes before I answer.
"Yes, I am not human, too," I admit. Allyson was stunned blinking his eyes. No one dares to speak. The warrior was done putting uncle Muffy in his place. Allyson took a deep breath.
"Then who are you, if you are not human?" Allyson asks again.
"The right question is who are we if we are not human." Grandma Alice interrupted. Allyson was confused about what grandma Alice said, I feel excited at the same time nervous about what Allyson reacts to this truth. The truth is coming near. Is Allyson will accept the truth calmly and easy or if he will reject us? or denied the truth about his identity?
"Allyson, My grandson. Listen carefully." She reaches for Allyson's hands and puts them on her face.
"You, Elliot, the warriors, and I are lycans. You and I are their Royal Lycans to be exact." Grandma said. I keep silent not interrupting their conversations.
"No! Y-you are lying. You are lying." Allyson said falling to the clouded floor. His face paled. He is in a state of shock. Grandma smiles at him.
"I am not lying to you, am I? Look at our surroundings. As you said this is not a human thing, right? Why did we go here with you if you are human?" She said. I just watched them silently listening to their conversations.
"It's a long story, Allyson. But there is coming war soon. So we couldn't hide anything from you now. You should be ready, for us, for our people. They waited for you for so long. And now, it's time." She turns back from Allyson. I saw her holding back her tears. I hope Allyson will understand what Grandma Alice is talking about. I am thinking positive that he will.
"What do you mean, grandma? How could I understand you when you are not telling me all? What kind of people you are talking about? What war you are talking to?" Allyson asks a series of questions. I remain quiet and just listen to their conversation.
" As I said you and I are Royal Lycans. I am the former Queen Luna. You are borne with your parents who are King and Queen of our Kingdom that made you a Prince of Lycans. Elliot is our sorcerer werewolf and most important is your Guardian." Grandma Alice said looking at me. I bow down my head.
"W-what? A g-guardian?" Allyson said looking at me. I give him a curt nod.
"Yes. Since you were born, your King's father and the elder sorcerer assigned to you a guardian that will protect you. That is why since you were kids, Elliot always guarding you, you remember?" Grandma Alice said. Allyson nod silently. So now, Allyson understands why I act as his protector. I smile.
"These men are our Royal warriors," Grandma says. Allyson looks at the warriors and the warriors bow their heads to him. Then Allyson looks at uncle Muffy's coffin.
"So, uncle Muffy is Lycan, too," Allyson said.
"No, he is not," I answer this time.
"So who he is?" Allyson asks curiously. I took a deep breath before speaking, looking into his eyes.
"He is the Basilisk, guarding the Magical three corridors against. invaders, but he was killed last night." I said sadly.
"W-what? A Basilisk?" Allyson exclaimed.
"Yes. It is a long story but uncle Muffy is kind and our good General of all time." I said, his eyes became sad, too.
"Who killed him?" He asks angrily.
"Who killed him?" Allyson said again. Grandma Alice and I looked at each other. It's hard to reveal the truth to him but I think this is the right thing to do.
"Y-your three friends: Colton and the twin killed him." We, Grandma Alice and I reveal to him both in unison.
