RISE OF BAKUNAWA(Saga's Luna Story)

14. Saga: Battle Ready

A week passed and we took that advantage to prepare and train everyone. Luna especially. I watch her train her magic day and night. On the side, I also help her find her balance between her wolf and her human side. Unlike us, she did not grow up as a cub. Werewolve cubs were educated, trained how to control both thier wolf and human to avoid going rogue and berserk and end up killing innocent humans. We let our wolves to connect other wolves in the pack by innitiating them into it. Luna, is not initiated into any of our pack. Her wolf, is more powerful than any of ours. Her wolf is a born Alpha-Luna. The Werewolf Queen. And her mate will be the Alpha King. The Werewolf King.

Luna's wolf is starting to recognize all the unmated junior alpha that had gathered in the pack. I can sense her wolf's restlessness. Her wolf is growing by the day and soon enough she will be able to tell who her mate is.

A normal wolf will be able to tell her or his mate is the instant they meet eye to eye. Her case is different. Being a werewolf moon goddess makes her wolf-sense develop a little slower than normal. But she's able to cope up faster than any of us when it comes to combat and fighting skills. She's good with weaponry, even better in  hand-to-hand combats, and exceptional in wolf form. Add her magical prowess as a goddess and she will be unstoppable.

Now, we are all gathered in the gym to address everyone of what to expect, because Luna had another vision. This time it came in differently. It seems that the prophecy is changing or is someone controlling it?

"The vision I had is different from what I first recieved upon my awakening." She started. "Bakuna will still be breaking out from his prison, that's inevitable. But there is another entity at work—" she stopped and hesitated a bit before speaking again. "The mambabarangs[1] are on the move. We need help from the mangkukulams[2]. To counter their curses."

"What about the sigbins and wak-waks? Are we still going to face them?" One of the Alpha asks.

Luna shakes her head in deep thought. "I don't know. The visions I get is always subjective, so I don't know if we are still going to face them or not. But whatever it is, we still need to be prepared. 'Expect the unexpected'".

"Luna's right." Dad interjected. No matter what we face in this war against the gods we still need to be ready. Evil does not fight fair nor do they play by the rules, so don't expect less from them."

All silently agreed to Dad.

"I will ask guidance to the goddess Hekate tonight to help us from the mambabarangs." Luna said and left to go prepare. I have a feeling the war is gonna start soon. So, we all dispersed and went back to whatever everyone was doing before the meeting was called. I head out to follow Luna, chasing her as she walks down the path towards the pack house. Gently grabbing her arms in my hand to get her attention for awhile. However, a strange sensation shoots up from my hand up to my arms, straight to my shoulder, down to my heart and exploded all over my body making me see white light all over. This sudden feeling of invasion of sensations brought me down to my knees, while it made Luna straight unconscious.

Holy juice! Her wolf is now fully mature!

But why with touch? Normally, eye-to-eye contact is enough, then physical touch. I remember dad said to me once, that it feels like a zing of electricity that flows all over the body. But what I felt seconds ago was more than a zing! It was a sudden explosion of shock! I don't even know how to describe it or even compare to anything I've felt before! It left me feeling disoriented and dizzy. The blinding shot of white light has now been reduce to a collidoscope of lights, reflected by my surounding. Shadows dance in between the lights and gurgle of voices talking to me at once, none I could understand at the moment. But somehow I was able to work my voice and provide instructions through my muddled condition until I give-in to unconsciousness.
