Chapter 15
Azrial heard a loud echo that rang through the room as he was able to scramble to his feet. He looked around completely in confusion and he watched as the wolves were flung off him. he watched as he took a moment to try and see clearly one more. He watched as the wolves ran towards the water and began to drag sirens out.
Suddenly a bright beam of white light shot out from the slays it hit the grond. He winced at the feeling of the intense light that hit his face and when he turned back around he sees towards figures standing in front of them. One of them wore a long white robe while the other was dressed in a set of dark colors. He looked at them in confusion as he tried to figure out who they were.
He watched as they stepped out and without warning they turned to the wolves. They fired a blast that caused them to move away from the sirens and he watched as they growled once more as they raced towards the beings.
“Enough of this. We are doing this my way.” The man in black spoke and Azrial watched in absolute shock as his eyes grew white before he raised his hands towards the creatures and he watched ads they fell to the ground. They withered in pain as they let out loud howls and began to convulse on the ground. Azrial winced at the sound as he was unable to handle the feeling of seeing his people in pain.
“It is enough you don’t need to torture them further.” He heard the woman say and the man sighed before lowering his hand. Azrial watched the wolves take their last breaths before they collapsed on the floor and turned back to their human form.
He gulped when he saw the two beings suddenly turned their attention towards him. “I am ready to die. Do what you must.” He spoke as he knew that whatever they were that they were not going to stop until they had him completely destroyed. He watched as the other let out a loud laugh as they came to stand before him.
“Raise your head wolf.” the male said and he slowly raised his head to look at them. “We are not going to kill you.” Selene spoke and Azrial looked at her with a confused look. “Why not then. I am the one who did this to them l deserve to die. I deserve it more than anyone else.” He pleaded with her and although she felt empathy for him she knew that he wasn’t going to be let off so easily.
“Unfortunately that isnt how things work. i am the creator Selene and you are my children. i do not enjoy the killing of my children and although at first the others wished to kill you we had later come to the conclusion that it wouldn’t be entirely wise. We had decided that a more suitable punishment would be found for you.” She said to him and he gulped as a feeling of fear came over him.
“A punishment worse than death.” Marr said to him and he felt a cold shiver cover him. He couldn’t think of what that was.
“I know that all you have wanted is love and acceptance. To have someone that would love you and a place call you home. You had that with your pack but then they were gone and now you will not have that again. You will not have a mate until I decide to forgive you, meaning that you will be destined to live the rest of your days alone. That will be your punishment. You will neither grow old or fall sick. You will remain trapped in this body until the end of time when your term has been served.” she said and he tried to struggle. That wasn’t what he wanted, he wanted to die and yet the one thing that he wanted more than ever was the one thing that she refused to give him.
“No, I beg of you not to do that to me.” He pleaded with them and they shook their heads at them as he felt his eyes tear up at the sound of the words that she had spoken.
“This is my last act of kindness. And as for your punishment you shall return to the very pack that started it. Where you have planted the seed of the Zan and you shall serve as its protector for the next five years. You will be a slave to it and you will feel the urge to care for it even when you don’t want to, you will neither sleep nor eat until it is satisfied. And after your time is served you may be allowed to return to civilization.” she spoke as her words echoed through his head. He felt a wave of bile rise up in his throat. He shook his head frantically as he reached for a chance to extend his claws.
If she wasn’t going to kill him then he would have to do it himself. Without another thought he brought his claw to his neck but before he could plunge it into his throat he felt his body freeze. He watched as her eyes glowed yellow before she came to a stop beside him and the other man did the same. They both touched his shoulder before pulling away from him. He felt something tingle deep inside him and he watched as they pulled away from him before saying, “and now your fate had been sealed. Do well to pay your dues.”
He said to him and before he could say anything he watched as the beam of light reappeared and they disappeared through it. It was only after they were gone that he allowed himself to collapse onto his knees.
He didn’t know what was to become for him but he had a feeling that it was nothing good. He was now bound to live a life a lone in servitude of the very thing that had caused him to endure such an existence.
Soon enough he could feel the effects if the flower coming over him as he felt theurge to move towards it. He didn’t want of think what the next 500 years would be like but he knew that it would leave him entirely broken.
