Because for Sabalius & Ano, Necromio did the one thing that breaks and will always break the bloodlust. A power so strong yet so simple. He loved unconditionally. Necromio valued two above fame and image. Even above himself. Sabalius and Ano. Seeing his heart in danger, Necromio raced to their aid, thus breaking his blood lust.

The Goddess Oya, his mother, requested this test from Olofi. For she knew Necromio's heart's genuine desire. It held him, suppressed by his desire for status. Oya wanted to see which was of more value to Necromio. Oya wanted to be certain Necromio understood the importance of this frail, unique gift. Oya cared for the happiness of her son. Yet, Because of his father, Lycaon. This single emotion, Oya saw, Necromio denied.

However, Lycaon felt disgraced that his son, the chosen elite guardian of OLOFI. Not only denounced his right as an elite guardian. Lycaon also felt shamed & disgust because he, Necromio, fell in love.... with... a male.

Just like a woman scorned, Lycaon's EGO was destroyed; that is why he sought to kill Necromio. When Lycaon came looking for his son, he was too late. Having followed his mother's authority. Oya informed Lycaon Necromio was gone.

Necromio had already fled with his mates Sabalius and Ano. Leaving the Goddess and her wulves, my ancestors, to protect their escape. But knowing they would never be safe.

Sabalius & Ano kissed Necromio, promising to find him again. Sabalius would not leave his family alone to defend them against that monster. Necromio blessed his mate with a piece of his soul to assure he would find him. Then raced to Olofi for his intervention. This was the inspiration behind Ochum's creation of the mate bond. This piece of his soul remained dormant until Reuben met me in that town all those years ago. The town I ashed.

After centuries of looking for us, Necromio finally had found us. Remaining focused only on me. Mother Goddess Oya sought to reunite her only son with his mate. So, she awakened the bond of the two Ancient ones. But because of his own sacrifice to protect me. Sabalius suffered the same affliction as I.

Only. In my reincarnated form, and from Sabalius's act, the memory of our history remained shrouded." My gaze turns steely, locking onto Grandfather. Seeing this, Grandfather averts my stare. Until an iron-clad voice commands him to face me.

"That is why I killed that town when I was a cub. Which prompts the seal you and mother placed inside me. Blocking him from sensing us. Isn't that right, Grandfather?

Because Necromio was close. I felt him, and you kept me from him." My grandfather stutters. "I.. I. The Goddess instructed me...."

"I do not fault you. You followed HER instructions. Doing what you thought was best, Abuelo, and for that, I forgive you. But this was nothing more than another test. A test of our loyalty to one another. As a result, because of my amnesia years, my destined mate suffered." A savage human snarl erupts from me, deliberately cutting him off. My beastial tone was anger.

Lightning erupts, Repeatedly across clouds seen turning to a black flashing abyss. I continue, "SO, sometimes elders DON'T know what's best." Then the electrical war halts.

Looking towards the shadowy black mist wulf standing on the opposite side of my Crim. My tone softens, revealing pity for what he went through searching for me. "It was you that triggered me that day? The day I killed that town. I sensed you and went to find you. You perceived me astrally and were in the swamp searching for me after part of your soul within Reuben felt me close and was coming for me no matter what. But we were young and did not understand the bond.

Only, you had forgotten, were already bonded. With Sable. When you realized this. You remained quiet. Afraid to reveal the truth seeing Sable also suffered from amnesia. All this time, you lived halved.
