Lycan Soulmates #2: LYCAN DYSTOPIA: LLYRIAN [18+]

Chapter 13

Lyrian, Orphis, Rose and I... we face the world as two Queens and Kings side by side.

I hold onto Lyrian's arm, he put a chain leash around my neck but it was pretty, and I didn't really care so much about that anymore. It was just a dream.

We also had to get the fuck out of here. It was a joint effort.

Lyrian had resurfaced the landscape to allow all the souls to arrive at our meeting place.

His pack of six stand behind us, overlooking the souls gathered from the streets of Llyrian, or the new souls woken from Eleyrion.

The lesser Lycans and prostitutes who were imagined are vanquished.

All that remains at this meeting, are the eight Lycans, and the thirty young women and men, all in their young twenties, who are spread out before us, looking dazed. They kneel before the Lycan pack, mostly from fear, respect or an overwhelming sense of emotion from being woken out of Eleyrion, the emotion-free paradise.

Now we are all bathed in the heat of Llyrian's dystopia, and the clouds above have dissipated to show the blood red moon... which will turn silver-grey... if the gate to Earth is opened. That's about as much as I have determined.

Orphis stands with Rose who has opted to also stand next to me, so we can clasp hands.

Because our souls were not exactly saved right now.

In a few minutes.

One of two things was going to happen.

Lyrian was going to open a void of death, and suck out our souls – all of them, the innocents, even his own, and his brothers. He would effectively end us, suffocating us in a void of death and detatchment. We would awaken in a real and actualised hell. He knew we could make it there, a free ticket if we just sacrificed our own lives. From that point, revenge and chaos was his only goal... for being disrespected by those on Earth.

So I'm hoping, in my mortal way, that Cleo, that fairy, will somehow convince those on Earth to free us.

I didn't know what it would mean for them, nor what the price would cost.

I just know the best-case scenario is for them to concede, for them to respect the Angel Killers.

"I won't give you answers by word, you will experience everything when you awaken," Lyrian promises the crowd, "...the only reason you're here now is because I require you to be. Your souls belong to me and my brothers... however... if you want a mortal to address you, Helena and Rose can speak and console you for what is to come," Lyrian generously gives me the end to my own chain leash, to walk forward with it, to address the crowd of scared, frightened or hypnotised mortals.

I look back to Rose but she shakes her head, too shy to join me, but she smiles and nods, allowing me to speak for the both of us.

I'm happy to reassure everyone, I loved helping others in Eleyrion, and I do now too.

"...in words you will understand, we all faced injustice," I explain to them as best as I can, "And I really do mean all of us. Demon. Mortal. The injustice was equal because we both experienced an inescapable illusionary 'paradise'... Eleyrion... or Llyrian... or both... an amplified experiment and playground for a magnitude of dark magic to bleed into our worlds – for our small group to deal with. These Lycans are Angel Killers and you will respect them or die. But as for you individually, and who you are, and who I am... I can't remember, none of us can... but we will, soon, when we are finally awake. Lyrian has made a successful negotiation to secure our freedom, it is that reason you shouldn't fight this. As mortals we could only wander this world and maintain it as we do, but the demons, they hold the power to shift magic, and shift our realities – even now we are all within each other's minds, but it is assisted by Lyrian and Orphis who built the world for you. Soon I promise we are going to wake up. There's just three chances you should be prepared for. Earth... Hell... or Heaven. Be prepared for each event, because either way, we're all waking up in a different dimension. You will remember who you are. Maybe it's time to pray that we can return to Earth – I don't want to die."
