When the Land meets the Sky: A Tail of Two Mages

Chapter 18 - His Legacy (Pt. 1)

Oiamh's POV

I can't believe my 16th birthday is two days away! I'll finally earn my wings at long last! You see, all wolves in the forest clan are "unable to fly" so when you hear one of us say we're getting our wings, it means we get new powers to make wind and let the leaves fly around in a dance as such.

"Hello Lady Oiamh" someone said to me. I turned and it was one of the sub-alphas in the clan.

"I saw you passing by and came to wish you a happy 16th in advance." They said then left.

That was....odd.

Because I'm the crescent moon, my ceremony to receive my "wings" will be a bit different.

Then again my powers have always been different since...well...I'm a twin-tails.

I met up with my Mother and Father who were at the heart of our clan.

"Oh there you are Oiamh. Is aught amiss sweetheart?" Mother asked me

"Of course not mother. I'm just excited for what's happening in two days time" I replied then my father ruffled my head

"Indeed. Our little crescent earns her wings in two days time."

I heard wings flapping then looked up to see Zero! He landed at my house so I sprinted to see him.

I ran up to him then he lifted me up and swung me in the air with a big smile on his face.

I got so excited that I accidentally let my second tail show.

"OIAMH!" My parents shouted then I saw people running towards me

"Lord Apollo's magic lives on! This is amazing!" One wolf shouted to me. I was confused then I looked down and saw my second tail

Oh shit!!

"This is amazing Lady Oiamh. Our very own crescent is a goddess" another told me

"Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down. Oiamh's only fifteen and the daughter of mortals. She herself is mortal. As am I. It's just coincidence that the twin tail gene of Apollo of the Day passed down to her" Zero explained

"Aye. My family are direct descendents of Apollo but no one until Oiamh had the twin tail gene" my father added.

WE'RE WHAT TO APOLLO?!

I began to feel really overwhelmed then Zero held me close but after we heard explosions followed by two figures appearing atop my family home. A pink haired wolf and a red haired demon with blue horns.

"THERE SHE IS! Forest Wolves listen to us! This girl pretended to be a measly and normal wolf to not make you all feel inferior. She has also been coercing with the shadow wolf clan to overthrow her own clan. Oiamh and her parents are a threat to your very existence and they caused the island to be thrown into disarray" the pink haired wolf said.

"LIES! OIAMH IS NOT A MONSTER! YOU TWO ARE!" My mother shouted.

I saw the pair hold up a pipe? Then heard something fly at my father. My clan was thrown into chaos. Explosions and fighting erupted everywhere and even I was assaulted. My parents weren't anywhere to be seen.

Before long something came flying straight at me then everything went dark

Zero's POV

"OIAMH! NO! Stay with me Oiamh!" I shouted as I shook her unconscious body. The entire forest clan was at war within itself and I had to get Oiamh out of there immediately. I held her in my arms then took to the sky at once. I'll come back for her parents once she's safe as she is the future of the clan.

"'MOTHER!" I shouted in panic as I tried to find my mother so she could heal Oiamh.

"Your mother just left to visit the fire wolves sun. What's wrong——OIAMH!" My father explained then sprinted over to me when he saw an unconscious and bloodied Oiamh.

"I went to visit the forest clan and it was peaceful at first. But then two figures appeared and started spreading lies then fighting and explosions erupted. Trodaí and Naomi are missing then Oiamh is as you see her now" I explained

"I'll take Oiamh and start healing her immediately. Go and get your mother. She just left so she shouldn't have gotten far" father told me then I took off and within five minutes I saw my mom.

"MOTHER!" I called to her then she stopped flying for a moment then hovered in front of me. I explained everything then she took my hand and sped back to our clan's territory.

We went to the infirmary within my family home where my father was healing Oiamh. I glanced at her cheek then watched a green shamrock appear.

"No.....she's going to be devastated" I said

"How so son?" Father asked whilst healing her.

"Look at her cheek" I pointed out then my parents saw it. The mark of the supreme leader. Trodaí is dead but none of us know where he is to retrieve his body for burial rites.

"Son, you stay here. Rowen keep healing Oiamh. I'm taking some of our best soldiers to find Trodaí's body and also find Naomi, pray she is alive still" mother explained then left.

After a few hours we finished healing Oiamh as best as we could. But until the fighting subsides she's staying here in the sky clan manor with my family and I.

It was already nightfall, maybe 10pm and my mother finally returned. With Naomi - alive and breathing but she was beat up badly.

We brought her into a separate room so that way if Oiamh wakes up before her mom, she doesn't see her wounded mother in this state.

I decided to use my powers to help heal her whilst my father went to rest his magic. Healing injuries this severe drains the healer after a while.

Once we finished I went to my bedroom then just broke down crying. Eventually I cried myself to sleep.
