Ophelia was cooking a meal for hers and Zack since Layla and nick were not home. While Ophelia was cooking Zack was practicing with his sword in the field. Ophelia was busy cooking a meal until her head starts aching. She winced as she endures the pain and continues with her task but only for the headache to throb more. Ophelia dropped the knife that she was using causing a loud noise of metal clanking, and Zack heard the loud noise with worry, he ran towards the house, fast. Zack opened and found Ophelia on the ground wincing, he dropped beside her.

"Hey, Phel are you okay? What happened?" Zack's voice was unheard by Ophelia as the pain became sharper causing Ophelia to scream in agony. Until the pain suddenly stopped and a flash of memory came back to her. It was dark and red was all around her, slowly a wolf came out of nowhere. In instinct, she grabs her sword preparing herself for the upcoming attack but a flash of figure attack the wolf before her. The figure was biting the wolf's back shredding its skin, now the tissue is visible, blood was oozing the wolf was impaled and looks like on the brink of death however the figure did not stop and broke the wolf's leg. The sound of one cracking was unpleasant.

Until the wolf stopped breathing the black figure stop attacking the poor creature and stood up, its back was in front of Ophelia. Despite being scared and disturb Ophelia kept her composure calm and ready to attack the figure. She, without hesitation, swing her sword towards the black figure but it was blocked by a sudden force, causing Ophelia to back away. She was about to attack again but the figure turns around and Ophelia can now see what the black figure look like. It was her!

Ophelia was horrified, how was this true? Until she remembers something, this scene happened during her escape. Ophelia stared at the figure with wide eyes her word dropped to the ground, the person who is in front of her just looked like her but for different as well. Instead of a small and round ear, it has sharp and pointed, hair was long and so was her fingernails—and oh god she has a tail!

Art thou who thee art

If art thou thus now thy power

Reluctant as thee

Must embrace with the assent

As prophecy foretold

Ophelia was once again shocked by her words, how many times will she be shocked again? Her words was unexpected, the mysterious woman who she met in the woods could it be it's her?

"Wait—whaat? How do you know those words? Are you the woman who I met in the woods? Are you me or am I you—wait what?" Ophelia words scrambled, she is confused of what was happening.

"Child, ease up. Your query will be answered later. For you need to know what purpose why you are here" The Illusion doesn't sound like her at all, she has a very small, almost like a whisper.

"Who are you? What are you? Where are we?" Ophelia was now getting desperate for answers.

"I am your beacon, your guidance and we are in the mindscape. A place where you can find a momentarily peace by yours truly" the woman whispered as she walks closer to Ophelia.

"Wait, I don't understand. Are you a demon or ghost? Please you need to stop talking ambiguously" Ophelia plead to make the woman sigh.

"Every verse has its sense or instinct, let me tell you a tale. A tale where people where are just beta and alike but not all are liked. Centuries ago, a young couple was exploring the land, a land of ruins and it is still now called beyond. They were a lovely couple but not lovely people. They were with a child and the mother develop an unusual appetite, she was craving something sweet, something beautiful, and something beyond reach. Until she saw a golden apple that grows center of the ruin she craved to have and she beseech 'she wanted more than anything, in the world' so they took it and ate it."

Ophelia was conflicted about how was this related to her being—looked like her illusion

"I am still confused how does this affect me? I'm just a regular omega with unusual hair and heterochromia eyes.

"I am not done yet child, after eating the apple. The woman had an offspring of two children. Behold, a new verse or gEnder was created. A boy who has a scent sweet as the golden apple that could be smelled by all and a girl who has the scent of the sour and wild as peppermint and enhance the unique physical feature they have, thus the first alpha and omega was made. The village was fascinated by the child and decided to have what the couple have, the couple heard this and stole the remaining apple to be sold on all around the town, some gained extraordinary features some remain the same. They got greedy and greedy, they polluted the land and the tree. Until it can no more produce golden apple, people have lost interest and decide to destroy the tree for the reason of no use to them. However, only to be killed by the first omega and alpha. A massacre happened, blood filled the plane with corpses surround it stood two figures. With the eyes of crimson-red and green candid.

Ophelia was astonished, eyes of the color red and green? Like hers! Is it by any chance related to them? She needs to know more.

"What happened next? Are they still alive? Do you know where can I find them?

"I am afraid that is all I can say. It is up to you if you want to learn more, if you embrace it or neglect it" the woman whispered as she started to fade away.

"Wai—WAIT" and with that Ophelia was back in a familiar room, her arms were reaching out above her and her body was sweating. Zack was sitting beside her, asleep. She shakes Zack's shoulder waking him up.

Zack stir awake and saw Ophelia face in front of him, he quickly left out of dazed and hugged Ophelia in relief

"Ophelia, you're awake. I am so glad, you suddenly collapse after experiencing a headache. Here drink some water to refresh your self" Zack handed Ophelia a drink. And Ophelia accepted his offer. Once she was done, she put away the drink and look at Zack straight in the eye.

"Zack, did mother and father have arrived?" Ophelia asked with a serious face, and that made Zack nervous.

"No, they haven't. Why?" Zack was now getting nervous when Ophelia didn't answer. She was stinking so hard with her pupils constricted. Then she instantly looked at him straight in the eye, heterochromia pupil meets his.

"Zack I am going to tell you something that may sound unbelievable and crazy. But I promise it to make sense"
