Moriko

After explaining to mother what had happened the past few years up till now, she just shook her head saying that I had always been a trouble maker. What made me surprised was what she said next.

"Well, that's certainly surprising. I knew all my children were going to have mates, I made certain of it before my power began to diminish. However, I never foresaw that they would meet their mates this early. Tatsuya was lucky finding Sakura so soon. I had thought Moriko and Kazue would find theirs a bit later, but I guess the timing couldn't be any more perfect, the capital has reached such a state that any help will do us good." I listened carefully as mum spoke; questions ran through my head, the main one being why she decided that we all had mates. Sure we were part of the monarchy and the future leaders, but I'm pretty sure all of us are more than capable of handling things. Well, maybe not me as I had been M.I.A for a while and I am probably out of touch with everything.

Mother began speaking again. "The rebel group has grown larger with the addition of other creatures who want to get some vendetta against the Shifters. They're starting to attack the smaller villages surrounding Idriss. I have tried my best to hold back the attack by sending the soldiers but they have gotten used to their attack pattern."
Laputa was not just another dimension it was a whole new world. It had four main cities and one capital. The cities here though were not as they are in the human world; they were more like the seven continents of the human world. The fifth city also referred to as the capital was called Idriss; the other cities were named Tyule, Atlantica, Lacus and Solum. Many of the supernaturals that live in the human world formerly lived here, however, it became more habitual to visit the human world through the various portals located in every city and soon enough the supernatural walked amongst the inhabitants of the human world mimicking their ways and adapting them to fit each and every supernatural.

Mother sighed, her forehead creased as she mulled over what to do. She pushed her ebony locks away from her face and proceeded to braid her hair to keep it out of her sight. Ryuu, who had been silent since this meeting started suddenly spoke up.

"What if the soldiers were trained differently? As far as I know, they have been trained in the way of the ancient arts." He paused looking up at mother for confirmation; she nodded wordlessly.

"Perhaps that is the problem." He elaborated, "The rebels are a group of soldiers and others who follow them under the belief that mates should not exist as they weaken each other, so to get rid of mates they are attacking the root of their problem, the Queen. By changing the training programme, it will give us an advantage to them. Another advantage is something that many of us have forgotten in this position.

He turned to look at mother, "Artemis will be moving on to another host soon to regain her power, am I right." Mother laughed seeing the turn in the situation.

"Yes, she has informed me that by the next full moon the next host will be chosen."

I rolled my eyes and sighed; of course, it would be the full moon, it was always the bloody full moon. Why couldn't it be the rising sun for once or something? I laughed silently; imagine witnessing that, a gathering of wolves under the sunrise preparing for a ritual.
The moon was a symbol of Artemis, the Goddess, who created us to protect the earth. Poseidon created the Merpeople, Apollo created the Fairies, Hades created the Vampires, Athena created the Elves, Ares created the Trolls, Demeter created the Nymph, Zeus created the Dragons, Hermes created the Pegasi. Hephaestus created the Dwarves, Hera created the Centaur and Aphrodite created the Pixies. Each supernatural had a God or Goddess related to them, except for the hybrids, they had both.
