Chapter 16: Vekaldi Tears

"Alright, your favourite time of day. Pack History." Blake smiled as he slammed thick books down onto the table. Liam and I groaned as we each took a heavy book.

"I definitely ditched this class every chance I got, until I realized this was important. I wish I could go back to sleeping through Blake's lectures." Liam whispered in my ear. I giggled when Blake narrowed his eyes.

"Werewolf hearing, remember? You can't hide anything from these ears." Blake said with a smirk. Well we can do this, I mind-linked Liam. I can hear every word you say. Perks of being an Alpha... Or curse, depends on who's talking, Blake said. Smirking, I focused on creating a barrier to block him out of my mind.

"I see Christy has taught you well. Even I can't get past that mind barrier." Blake nodded with approval. Astrid puffed up with pride from the compliment of the alpha. "Okay, flip to page 136 and start reading." Blake said with fake enthusiasm. Smiling, I rolled my eyes and began to read.

Levagairs
Description: These creatures are otherwise known as the werewolves of hell. Their exterior is covered with nearly impenetrable dark purple scales, commonly mistaken for black. These scales cover their head, all the way to the bottom of their long tail. The claws of a Levagair are usually four to six inches long.

Dangers: Similar to werewolves, Levagairs are shifters. They can shift from their hell form to a human form. These human forms emit an odd aura that only the supernatural can detect. This aura is one that radiates death. Their human features are usually dark. Black or dark brown hair and dark purple eyes. These dark features help them blend in among humans if need be.

Ways to kill a Levagair: The crystalized tears of an angel, otherwise known as Vekaldi tears, can be forged into a weapon. Weapons include knives, swords, arrows, spears and axes. The purity of the Vekaldi tears are enough to break apart a Levagairs scales. These scales are thought to be made of hellish matter that are only penetrable by material from the Upper, otherwise known as "heaven" by the humans.

"Liam are you reading this?" I asked as I scrambled to point out the paragraph on the Vekaldi tears. "We need tears of an angel to fight this war? Where do we get it?"

"The Upper always provides the supernatural if the need for Vekaldi tears is dire. The tears come in crystalized blocks that we carve as we see fit. You should remember from your visions that the weapons were surprisingly light." Blake's eyes lit up as if remembering a distant memory.

"Does this mean we'll get to meet... An Angel?" Liam asked bewildered. His grin resembled the one of a five year old child on Christmas. I almost melted at the sight of how excited he was.

"Yes, but please, call them Vekaldi, they don't like it when they are called 'angels'. It is such a mortal term." Blake warned, "They will descend from the Upper when the time comes and that is when the whole pack must get to work on forging these weapons."

Weapon Forging with Vekaldi Tears
This crystalized substance is quite soft to the touch. It holds a clay-like texture that you mold into the desired shape or weapon. Once this is achieved, you must remember to chant the words, "Vekani Dombaris" to harden the blade. The blade can then be attached to the desired handle and sharpened. These weapons will disintegrate after the battle. This is due to the fact that weapons forged from Vekaldi tears can cut through souls, eliminating even immortal life. This is a power only the Vekaldi and Vegaldey should have.

My arms, hands and fingers already ached at the thought of molding thousands of weapons for werewolves all across the globe. I knew that this war was going to be worldwide. Who knew where the Levagairs would rise from or strike first. Sensing my emotions change, Liam put a hand on my thigh and smiled at me soothingly. "We're going to be okay." Instead of replying, I flipped to the next page.
