Beyond the veil of humanity, In a world where demons, vampires, werewolves, witches, and fairies coexist, the delicate balance of power is disrupted by the emergence of a forbidden mixed-breed. As prophecies unfold and allegiances shift, the fate of...
As Tenebrous shook like it's the end, black magic swirled around Asher, enveloping his body. His senses heightened; everything felt a blur to him as his heartbeat changed its rhythm.
His eyes opened to a vision,he saw a lady's face; her radiant smile captivated him.
Asher saw himself in a cozy hay cottage with a man and a woman. He noticed the striking resemblance between himself and the lady. "Come...come Nabril.." she gestured, pulling Asher's hand.
"You're nothing like they say you are...you're but a light to their dark world," she whispered softly into his ear.
He felt an inexplicable connection with her. Had he died and gone to heaven, he wondered? Asher embraced Imara, his voice barely above a whisper. "Mother..."
Imara's brown eyes, now brimming with tears, widened, as did Vaughn's beside them.
"Mother..." She nodded, smiling through tears.
"And...you...f-father?" Asher gestured to Vaughn, who nodded affirmatively.
"Did I die?" He questioned, rising to his feet.
Everything felt surreal, yet the pain was all too real. Nimue's face flashed in his mind; he had seen her on the brink of death.
"I know you must have questions, darling,"
Imara said, her voice gentle, as she placed her slender hands on his shoulders.
"Fuck, I do....w-what am I?...where were you when I needed you all my life?..what's all this!?" Asher's voice cracked with pain and desperation.
"What am I truly!?" He snapped, his frustration palpable.
Imara sighed, glancing at Vaughn, who stepped closer.
"Your mother went through a lot before she died...we died to save you, Nabril."
"You're both dead?..I don't understand...a-and who's Nabril?..I'm Asher" Asher said, confusion etched on his face.
"Nabril's your birth name..."
"Sit..I'll tell you everything" she gestured
She held onto Asher's hand and he started seeing memories that weren't his, Imara's death, Vaughn's death everything the pain..the agony held onto him like another skin
Imara's expression turned somber.
"So I wasn't even formed of normalcy?" Asher asked tears in his eyes
Imara shook her head as she cupped his face
"I wanted a normal life for you my boy..I couldn't bear it in my heart knowing I'd leave you to suffer" she made him look at her
"It didn't make any difference"
A tear made its way from Asher's eyes Imara sighed and continued
"When I finally made my way to the human world, I knew I couldn't keep you any longer; you were growing restless each passing day, and it drained me."
"I couldn't keep you... I knew what you'd face, because I faced worse...you'd turn into a shadow of your former self.. desperate for power..because you're a breed of all," she explained.
"A breed of all?" Asher repeated, incredulous.
"You have all powers encompassed... every supernatural runs in your blood...it's tainted, and that's why they either want to eliminate you or help you." She took his hand..
"I did everything in my power to keep safe"she muttered as she wiped a tear that threatened to fall
"In the human world, I was helped by this lady..she was a kind soul..." Imara smiled at Vaughn, who pressed her shoulder reassuringly.
"Sarah was her name..."
Asher's eyes widened in shock. "Foster mum!?..why didn't she ever...ever tell me about you?...or give a hint or something."
"I told her not to...she really helped me...so when I knew I couldn't keep you with me anymore, I gave you to her..." Imara's voice trailed off.
"I am a witch by birth,I used the last piece of myself to cloak not only your scent but suppressed your powers..kept you this long from prying eyes"
Imara's gaze fell upon the pendant on Asher's neck, and a soft smile spread across her face.
"And it seems she gave you the necklace just as promised."
Asher clutched the necklace, his face etched in confusion.
"You can tame it, son...I believe in you," Vaughn said, tapping Asher's shoulder.
"You're a Sylax..."their voices grew faint
"Sylax!? What's that!?...mum?!..dad?!" Asher exclaimed as he turned around frantically
Asher's world began consuming black as he woke to reality with a huge force. His breath caught in his throat as his eyes snapped open; a sonic boom hit all of them...
