POV TRAEVON ERIKSSON

For weeks, Caelen became my secretary and constant companion. She assumed that Polaris and I have a romantic relationship, and I did not attempt to correct this.

I am somehow satisfied being a friend to her as she considers me her beshie boss.

Even Polaris is enjoying adding fuel to the fire and he even mentioned to Caelen that we spent time together in Canada. He must be referring to our training in Verde Sanctuary while in Werewolf form.

Nasa loob ako ng aking opisina nang biglang lumitaw ang isang lalaki sa harapan ko. Pamilyar sa akin ang mukha nito dahil ilang ulit ko na itong nakita sa aming history classes sa Verde Sanctuary.

We were asked to consume the Alpha's blood that will create illusions in a half asleep and half awake state. These mirages will teach us the history of our clan.

This man also has a big portrait inside Meshach's personal library in our Eriksson estate. Based on his translucent figure, I am sure I am facing the illusion of Alpha Ezraikiel. He masters the ability called Halucinatio or the ability to create illusions, extra-ordinary hypnosis and the power to move objects using the mind or telekinesis.

"You have to find us, Royal Heir."

"Alpha Ezra, what do you mean?"

Werewolves are known to use telepathic conversations while we are in wolf form. Eriksson Direct Heirs are also capable of telepathically sending mass messages to all members of the Werewolf Clan.

"Royal Heir, find us before it is too late."

"I don't understand. The twelve Alpha are all hibernating in the Morpheus Castle. What do you want me to do?"

"You have to take our lives before we burn this world into ashes."

Naglaho bigla ang ilusyon ni Ezra bago pa sagutin ang tanong ko. Hindi ko alam ang ibig sabihin ni Ezra, pero hindi magandang senyales ito. Mabilis kong tinawagan si Polaris, si Galileo at si Einsten.

The three of them are known as the Royal Cavalier.

"Your Highness, are you sure you are not dreaming? Baka naman napuyat ka kagabi?" biro ni Polaris habang nasa loob kami ng conference room.

"Nakita ko si Ezra, Polaris! I know what I saw! At hindi ako puyat!"

"Okay okay! Hindi ba natulog sa unit mo si Caelen kagabi? Sabi niya, tabi daw kayo sa kama dahil pareho naman kayong girls at heart?"

"Sino ba may kasalanan? Hindi ba ikaw? Sinabi mo ba naman sa kanya na may relasyon tayo! Gago ka din eh!"

"Ano tawag niya sa'yo? My beshie boss?"

Tumawa lang si Galileo at si Einsten. Alam nilang tatlo ang kwento tungkol sa pag-aakala ni Caelen na may secret affair kami ni Polaris. Lumipas ang buwan at tila hindi ko na ito nabago pa. Siguro dahil masaya ako na lumalapit sa akin si Caelen. Minsan nga ay yumayakap pa ito sa braso ko.

Kung pinabulaanan ko ang mga tsismis ni Polaris, hindi siguro kami ganito ka-close ni Caelen.

"Your Highness, mga First Heirs lang ang kinakausap ni Alpha Ezra. Sa pagkakaalam ko ay si Meshach, si Hezekiah at Zachariah ang nakakatanggap ng communication mula sa kanya," sabi ni Polaris.

"I hate to correct you, Kuya Polaris but the former Royal Heir Tristan Eriksson received a communication from the Alpha Ezra himself while they were in the Alpha Crypt," nakangiti na sabi ni Einsten.

"Let us say that this is a real illusion and not a Caelen-induced hallucination, bakit sinabi ni Alpha Ezra na hanapin natin sila? They are peacefully hibernating inside the Morpheus Castle. Hey boy genius, any theories?"

Umayos ng upo si Einsten at inangat ang kanyang salamin. Masyadong matalino ang batang ito. Kung hindi ako mag-iingat, malalaman niya sa kilos ko na may nangyari na sa amin ni Caelen sa Club Fantaisie.

"When the demon witch Gresilda was in the Alpha Crypt, I think she already casted a spell with our twelve Alpha. I already raised this to the First Heir Zachariah Campbell, but he confirmed that there are no demonic spells inside the Alpha Crypt."

"Kung walang spell, anong theory mo?" dagdag na tanong ni Polaris

"I think it was an incomplete and concealed spell. Gresilda casted a dormant spell. It will only be activated once the requirements have been fulfilled."

"What requirements are we talking about?"

It is my turn to ask Einsten. Even my father Tristan Eriksson felt that there is something wrong in the Alpha Crypt during his encounter with Gresilda, but he cannot pinpoint exactly what it is.

"As you all know, the Black Plague was a global epidemic that affected Europe in the 14th century. It is believed that this bubonic plague was created by the Demon General Alastair and the ancient demon witches using a powerful curse from the demon goddess Lilith."

Tumango lang ako kay Einsten. Hindi namin alam kung bakit naka-hibernate ang mga Alpha noon, pero nang magkaroon ng pagbabanta sa buhay nila ay ipinaliwanag ng mga First Heirs ang totoong purpose ng Morpheus Castle.

"The main objective of Gresilda is to turn the twelve Alpha into ravaged beasts. That is the purpose of Gresilda, to awaken the twelve Alpha and create chaos. I think the requirement to activate this spell is a massive amount of black magic. We all know that this already happened in Denmark."

Nagkatinginan kami ni Polaris at ni Galileo dahil sa sinabi ni Einsten. This is possibly the event called The Fall of the Sky Island.

"Kuya Gal, go to Eriksson estate with Polaris and talk to Meshach. Summon an emergency meeting with the First Heirs in the Incendio Station."

"Do you want me to contact the Thirteenth Werewolf Alpha?"

"No, ako na kakausap mismo sa lolo ko."

"How about your parents? Your father was the former Royal Heir and your mother is the Direct Heir of the Thirteenth Alpha."

"Tell my dad, but I forbid my mom in join this meeting. She is four months pregnant. Ayoko siya ma-stress. Kahit si Traenna ay hindi pa alam ang tungkol dito."

Tumango lang si Kuya Gal sa akin at mabilis silang umalis ni Einsten at ni Polaris. Kailangan ko naman kausapin ang lolo ko tungkol sa biglaan na paglitaw ni Ezra.

This is not just an ordinary illusion. I am afraid this will spark an ominous event, the most feared Alpha Apocalypse.
