0000THE AFTERMATHOOD
Roen Palace:
King Roen couldn't believe what was happening, one moment he was rejoicing with his family and friends and the other moment he saw himself in the Kingdom dungeon.
He and Lillian were roughly thrown on the floor of the dungeon.
Whatever that was given to them has weakened Lillian's powers and his Wolf inside them.
Too late to cry over spilt milk.
He hoped that his son and Jorkallun are okay wherever they are right now.
Looking around him carefully once again, he could see some of his guards, the ones whom the Amazon Warriors left alive in the dungeon, with them. They were wounded and strangely enough, their wounds are not closing. What is he going to do to help their situation right now?
Roen thought to himself.
"Please do you have any atom of idea where Taloc might have taken Rosa ot?" Roen asked Lillian softly. He was no King now, he was more concerned about his wife and son with his friend.
"I don't know my King, but I hope he won't hurt her." Lillian gasp out painfully.
"I am sorry." He whispered, he didn't even know what he was apologizing for. He tried controlling the cough threatening to come outside but couldn't, he coughed out more blood.
"It's okay Roen, we didn't see this coming. But I on the other hand knew something terrible want to happen so I prepared myself before coming." Lillian said.
"What do you mean Lillian?" Roen asked.
"I met Selena, the Mermaid goddess, who told me to get prepared. She also told me to get a certain book she once gave to Ashley and go through the spells written on it." Lillian explained remembering their encountered at the Mer-Clan kingdom on the day of the full Moon. "The book belongs to my mother which Selena borrowed."
If she hasn't thought of leaving Rae and Jason on the full moon and went straight to the Mer-Clan kingdom to stay through the night, she might not have met Selena who speaks in riddles to her, but she understands some part of it. Though she didn't know Rae was going to be the instrument Lucifer would use against them.
"So did the book actually told you what would happen and you kept quiet about it?" Roen demanded.
"No my King, the book shows me there is hope." Lillian replied and shove one of her hand in her breast area weakly bringing out a shiny object in a ball form. "I learnt a lot of strong spells in the book and one caught my attention. I decided to use it and removed my magic in my body." She added, closed her eyes and used one of her fingertips to burst the ball. The light inside the ball engulfed her immediately and disperse into her body.
Lillian opened her eyes and smiled. She wasn't feeling weak unlike before. Her powers has suppress the poison she drank a little bit allowing her to use some of her magic again.
"Now I am taking you to where we will meet Selena." Lillian said getting up to her feet and going to the dungeon door, looking out to be sure no Amazon Warriors are in sight. She turned to face the wounded wolf guards and whispered some magic spells as she waved her hands in the air. Something that appears like sawdust came out of her hands and touched the guards. "It will heal your wounds, but it will take time to heal. I and the King has a journey to make, we shall return to get you all out of here." Lillian added and went over to meet Roen, helping him stand to his feet holding him tightly.
"What about my wife, Jason and Jorkallun, won't we help them once?"
"Am afraid not my King. I am not as strong as I am since some of the poison is still in me. I cannot face Lucifer alone." Lillian answered. "But don't worry, Selena will heal the both of us completely from the poison and we will plan on how to defeat the devil. It is time to go." She added and they both disappeared.

Lucifer, Rae and Lolly appeared in the banquet room.
"Your father isn't here right now Lolly." Lucifer said walking out of the banquet room with Rae.
He breathed the fresh air and walked further away from the banquet room to the centre of the palace ground.
He looked up and saw the sky darkened and the air around them thicker. The gods are coming.
He smirked to himself looked around them and told the Amazon Warriors to leave his presence which they did. Soon it was only him with Rae that was seen in the centre of the palace ground.
He closed his eyes and whispered some words, his black hair was replaced with white hair and his face changed to Roen's own. His attire changing into Roen and he stood with Rae beside him as King Roen.
The gods wouldn't noticed any difference, after all he was second to the Creator himself. He wasn't given the name Lucifer for nothing.
And just as he had thought, Zeus with his son and the rest of the gods landed before him, jumping down from the sky.
"To what do I own your humble visit Zeus?" Lucifer asked the King of the gods in Roen's voice.
"We are here to investigate the priestess who lied to our name and made you order the deaths of the entire Mer-Clan." Zeus replied.
"We now know the truth Zeus, Tharollin told me everything in the Wolf festival." Lucifer told the gods. "As we speak, Tamara is at large now. She is now hiding from me." He added.
"Okay, try to call on me once she is captured, Tamara needs to be put to death for the crimes she has committed against our names." Zeus said.
"That I agree. Least I forget, she didn't kill the first Tribird as you all had presumed. As a matter of fact, she mated with him and was able to subdue him." Lucifer announced pleased to see the surprising and shocking look in the gods faces. "Yes, it is because of that she killed the Mer-Clan using your name to carry out her dirty act. But don't worry, I have sent my warriors all over the whole kingdoms to search for her. We are going to catch her soon, that's a promise Zeus." He added.
"I know you always keep to your words Roen. We need Tamara, she has a lot of questions to answer me." Zeus said.
"Of course, she shall soon be fished out wherever she is hiding at the moment." Lucifer said.
"Who is the young lady beside you?" Eros asked.
"Jason soulmate." The words tasted bitter in Lucifer's mouth.
"Very well then, we shall take our leave." Zeus said and they jumped up to the sky very fast.
Wow, that was easy. Very easy.
Lucifer thought as his face, hair and clothes changed back to his. He turned and face Rae who has been quiet beside him. He placed his hands on her hips and draw her closer to his body.
"I am glad I have you all to myself now." Lucifer said leaning his head down to kiss Rae on her lips but an invisible barrier prevented his lips from reaching his target. He tried again but he was prevented.
This shows he couldn't access all of her, even if he wants to have any sexual activity with his beloved soon to be wife, he won't succeed, the barrier will block him.
He has forgotten that there is one more thing out of the two he has to do, before he gets Rae all to himself.
One is killing the wolf, Jason is dead and the other one is to remove the wolf mark that binds them.

He will find a way to remove the Millennium wolf mark the stupid boy had marked his Rae since she is now his.
"Say you love me Rae, you love your Lucifer."
"I love my Lucifer." Rae said and Lucifer smiled at that.
"I love you too Rae." Lucifer said and wanted to continue when Taloc icy voice made an evil grin appeared on his face.
"Why did you tell Zeus that Tamara and I are mated Lucifer?"
"Oh, you were here when they arrived?"
"Yes and I overheard everything." Taloc answered. "Why did you tell them?" He repeated his previous question.
"Because I want them to know of your existence and now you will also be hunted by them."
"They can't defeat me. I once fought with them. But nevertheless, if they dared touch a single hair in Tamara, you will have me to contend with."
"Am scared now. A little boy is threatening me."
"This is not just a threat Lucifer, it's a warning."
"Well I can see I am no longer welcome here, I shall take my leave now. My work here is done. See you very soon Taloc I have important work to do." Lucifer said holding Rae's waist, they both disappeared. "Father, what is going on and why do you call him Lucifer?"
"That's his real name. I have to find your mother and only Rosa knows where she is, and now Rosa is nowhere to be found." Taloc replied. He had appeared when Lucifer and Rae had walked out of the banquet room and his daughter filled him what had happened and how Rae killed Jason.
"Let's take him down father." Lolly whispered.
"He is a lot stronger Lolly, I will need wisdom to deal with him." Taloc replied.
"So what about Jason? Can't you bring him back to life?"
"Am sorry I cannot. Jason is dead, you better forget him."
"Mother might be somewhere around here. Rosa probably hid her in one of the rooms in the palace."
"Rosa isn't that naive, she will keep your mother in a place where no one can reach or find her." Taloc said. "We have to stay in the palace for the meantime and I will interrogate Roen on the whereabouts of my mate."

The Realm of The Gods:
"Something seems fishy back there father." Ares was the first to speak since they get back from the supernaturals. "Didn't you noticed it father?"
"I did." Zeus answered. "I am not that stupid Ares, Roen who I know really well wouldn't be alone without any of his guards with him. But he gave us a useful information. The first Tribrid is still alive and his Tamara's mate." "So what are we going to do now Zeus?" Eros asked.
"Artemis!" Zeus suddenly called out the goddess name and she appeared immediately.
"You called on me Zeus." Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, said bowing down.
"Yes my dear, your help is needed once again. I need you to monitor Roen's Palace and if possible trace Tamara and her Tribrid lover whereabouts, once you are done with your findings, report back to me immediately." "I will try my best Zeus." Artemis said and disappeared.
"She will be back soon with the information needed." Zeus announced.

Kingdom of Elilannon:
"You have to be strong Jorkallun." They said and stood up. "Come with us." With that they began walking away from him.
Jorkallun hesitated before he stood up to his feet and followed them.
"Why is Queen Jasmine colour not like you both since you said you are sisters?" Jorkallun found himself asking.
They both smiled at him. "She chooses not to stay in this form when she met her soulmate. Though she do visit us from time to time." They answered him.
"Are there many of your kind here?"
"Yes, we have our kin here." Jess and Joan both answered.
Jorkallun nodded his head and sighed sadly.
"Stop thinking of your sad event Jorkallun, you cannot change the past." They said together.
"If you want me to stop thinking about it, then you will have to promise me you will heal Jason and bring him back to life, please." he said. He stopped walking and they turned to look back at him.
"Jason will rise again, he is the only one that can revive the Lady of the North. He has been taken to a place of healing, our kin will remove the poison and so we will remove yours, but the wound in his heart was deep and it will take time to heal. Here his spirit can rest while his body recovers but for his spirit to be returned to his body a price must be paid, you know this don't you Jorkallun?" they said walking back towards him and putting their hands on his shoulder In each side. "I will gladly give my life for his if that is the price," Jorkallun said hoping that he might not be too late.
"No that's not the price Jorkallun." They said and vanished together with Jorkallun.
Jess and Joan appeared in front of a huge crystal with Jorkallun in their middle. The crystal light was dim, one could easily see it was dying slowly.
"The light is dying slowly." Jorkallun said as he noticed the ground they were standing on was black in colour as if it was dying with the crystal. Behind the crystal were different set of doors.
"Yes." They said and touched his heart. Jorkallun suddenly vomited more blood. Once he gets himself, he wasn't weak anymore. "We've removed your poison."
"What price do I have to pay to bring back my friend alive?" Jorkallun asked cleaning his blood that was on his lips.
They pointed at the crystal together. "Here is the heart of Elilannon and the source of our powers. It is a secret known only to those that live here and those we choose to show. The crystal is dying and so are our powers in this kingdom. Each doorway is a gateway to another world born of magic. Each of these worlds like your own draws on the power of the crystal. These worlds and the crystal hold the key to the balance." They told him. "You will have to journey to one of the world and plant this little crystals. The crystal needs to be replaced in the crystal cave of that world. If planted properly it will multiply and the crystal light will shine once again. When you do that, Jason will live. That's the price you have to pay jorkallun."
