Chapter Thirty-One – The Gem.
It had been three days since the Dark Dynasty Prince and his sister were captured. Only to be released by Han. Han and Scott relationship hadn’t improved since then.
“Any other idea on repaying Han’s mistake?” Evelyn enquired from her sisters while they were spending the afternoon, resting.
Margaret raised her hands.
“Ideas not including storming the dynasty. He has a large army and magic. We’d be toast” Evelyn dismissed the idea immediately. Margaret dropped her hands.
“I have another idea” Lydia rolled in her stomach and faced her sisters bed. Evelyn sighed, wondering if it would be to run away from the forest.
She quickly remembered that Lydia wouldn’t want to run anymore now that Scott turned out to be her childhood friend.
“Okay…?” she rested her head back on her pillow ready to hear whatever wild idea her youngest sister would come up with.
Lydia’s ideas had come off as good at first but Scott had another story.
The forbidden forest was still a part of the Galdrish lands. It was a landmark where it started from.
The Dark dynasty trying to invade would be summoning war. Galdrish was feared for having more soldiers than citizens within it’s main walls.
All Lydia advised Scott to do was inform the Galdrish Ruler.
He would send information to the Prince to back off, protecting both the forest, animals and any other inhabitants.
That would have turned out better and peaceful plan. Only that invading the forbidden forest was never the Dark Dynasty’s goal.
And the sister caught on this really slowly.
Scott explained that the Dynasty Prince needed HIM to spill the whereabouts of the Alpha King.
What he needed from the Alpha King was the whereabouts of some mythical gem Scott wasn’t sure existed.
The gem was somehow related to the Dark Dynasty’s dark magic. The Alpha King had left with his Beta to find the gem and keep it hidden.
Leaving his father, the Omega and him in charge of the forest. His father however had left to unite with their pack and never returned.
Scott presumes none of them survived and where intercepted by the dark dynasty. It happened three years ago and had caused a great war.
Han agreed with Scott’s story. He added that that was when he had met the Dark dynasty Prince and Princess at the monastery.
The Prince had nearly lost his mother and had come to the monks for life prolonging pills.
The monks used their best ones on Han so had to make a default pill for the Prince. One that would take longer to work, a year even.
The Prince was in a devastated state and needed the gem to become powerful to conquer the three wolf packs within his territory.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Han had also said that he had helped fend off werewolves who had attacked the Prince in the monastery, when he was sober.
He never got the full story of the gem, except it had immense power and the Prince needed it to protect his family from the werewolves.
“He doesn’t need to protect his family. No one’s after his family. Except my pack as he killed many pack members including my father. He’s just insecure” Scott chuckled coldly.
Han looked away from him, “The Prince’s mother was in a coma as well. I guess the war just left so many victims”.
“Victims that would have lived if the Prince accepted that the gem was either nonexistent or shouldn’t be in his hands” Scott retorted.
Evelyn came between them with far stretched hands, “Okay, so the dark prince needs the gem. And we are not gonna let him have it. Chill”.
Scott huffed but said nothing. Han weakly went to Lydia sat and laid on her shoulders. She patted his head while they basked in silence.
“The Prince could be rash and storm the forest with his army. Even Lydia’s plan won’t work as he can just tell the Chief to hand me over” Scott deduced.
“And his dwarfs, they can provoke the forest and break its magic spell, releasing some bad spirits. I am having only one choice” he sighed.
“If Prince’s goal is misplaced. Why don’t you just explain to him that the gem doesn’t exist and if it did, he shouldn’t have…”
“Do you think we never tried? His mother is reckless. She started using the dark magic and is greedy for more” Scott glared at Han.
Margaret hit the boy with her legs to keep him shut. He should just play neutral since he’s involved with both parties.
Lydia studied Scott and noticed he was fighting inside himself. Even if it seemed like he was just staring into space.
“What’s wrong?” she brought him back.
He turned to her blankly.
“It seemed you’re lost”.
“I am speaking with Walt” and he blanked again.
Lydia gave confused looks to him and then to her other sisters.
“Wait your wolf? Your wolf, Walt? Have you guys met him? What color?” Han sounded excited raising his head from Lydia’s shoulders.
Seeing the confused looks of his sisters, he made a quick werewolf lesson.
“Werewolves have inner wolves. Which comes out when they need it. They have their own thinking and help heal the human and give superhuman abilities. It seems Scott’s is Walt”.
Evelyn looked done. So indeed the term ‘wolfman’ was true to the core.
They had wolf parts and human parts. She certainly didn’t look forward to seeing his form.
“Thanks. And, we, Walt and I, will be making a short trip to Blue Moon Pack. Time for me to meet the other werewolves” Scott snapped from his trance.
The sisters head snapped towards him as well? Other werewolves? They were more? Of course, they be. How much more?
“The two other packs surrounding Dark Dragon Dynasty? Blue Moon and Red Mountains Pack? Oh, will you meet Red Mountains Pack too?”.
Scott shook his head at Han, “They’re the strongest. Unless you want your Prince friend dead, let that pack be. I just need help in backing him down”.
Lydia wanted to ask Han how he knew all those but she swallowed it in. He lived with monks who were really into spiritual and supernatural stuffs.
Her poor brother must have picked some things out.
Evelyn flung her hands in the air, making everyone turn to her.
“Magic? Werewolves? Princes? Dragons? When did I get here?” Evelyn groaned.
Scott smirked, “Well, since you became my Lunas”.
