A/N

"Cellar duty... I suppose will work for you" I gasped in disbelief and shuddered. Cellar duty? That's feeding all of the prisoners and mopping out the cells. Three words. Creepy as fuck! I can't believe it! It's not my fault she (Rosa) enjoys being the Bitchy McBitch face. Alpha Jay cleared his throat.
"You can begin now. Go down and get a guard from the guard quarters, Daniel shall do, then make your way to the maids and grab the trolley of food for the prisoners, feed them dinner and then go straight to your room. Got that?" I looked up at him steely faced and mumbled an agreement. Off to start my new favourite past-time job. Yay.

The elevator dinged as it reached the final floor and the animals which barely fit into the category of people started screeching and screaming fresh meat. Over and over again. The smell down here was nauseating as the last time it had been mopped it would've been over three weeks ago. The prisoners don't exactly treat their cells as marvellous containment blocks and it wasn't unusual for them to leave some nasty substance on the floor. I got to work walking down past all of them, dodging the flinging of faeces. These animals down here were certainly ones of elegance and class.
After I reached the end of the hallway I switched on the drains and waited for the water to filter into their cells and wash out all the 'Ew' inducing bits. After around 3 inches of water had filtered in I once again waited for it to slide down into the drains at the entrance of each cell. I then dipped into the dark room out to the side containing the prisoner's food choices. I was wondering if I should feed them pumpkin soup, pumpkin soup or maybe pumpkin soup.
I decided on pumpkin soup for them as a nice surprise. I booted up the industrially sized food heater and crammed in around 40 bowls filled to the brim with pumpkin soup. I can't wait for the joyous interactions with them as I hand through their soup. Yay.

I made my way back to my room and felt disgusted as I had watered down soup and the grimy hands of the prisoners on me. Daniel the guard was no help as he just wandered off to the bathroom in the first five minutes and never came back to the cells. A lousy excuse of a wolf. I sighed, stepping into my bathroom and stripped off my foul smelling clothes. I leaned into the mirror and studied my face for any change. My brown near black hair was still the same as was my part blue and green eyes. I shook my head and stepped into the shower, turning the knob I relished the first blast of icy water.
I smiled into the cold water as it filled my senses and tumbled down my face. I let out a couple of undignified squeaks as the water got too cold and I cranked the knob up to a steamy heat. Gently, I wrapped my skinny fingers around my necklace that was forged on my first shift.

The blinding light of the forge lit up the stuffy area. The Oracle smiled at me gently and took my hand towards herself, evaluating it with a close, experienced gaze. She chose the middle of my palm before gently slicing it and dripping the blood into a mixture of the unknown fluid. It gently changed colour. The Oracle, named Faria nodded thoughtfully and made me close my eyes at which I obeyed. She brought my hands up to a gemstone of some sort and placed my hands on it. I gasped at how it almost felt alive. It buzzed under my touch and I wanted my hands to explore it forever, I yearned to sink my fingers into the unpolished gem and trace my fingers through its chips and cracks. Faria rubbed my hand reassuringly and removed them from it, she whispered gently to me that I should open my eyes and I gasped at how beautiful it was. In my hands was a gemstone of beauty that words could hardly begin to describe, it was a piece of lightning ridge black opal and it was gorgeous.
This gemstone had streaks of blue and black all through it and I marvelled at its wonders. Faria, still holding the stone turned to a bowl cut from obsidian filled with sidereum nox. Sidereum nox was a liquid forged from many metals and fragments of the moon goddesses kingdom.
The nox liquid was stunning and
it got its name from the Latin language meaning 'Starry Night' as it certainly looked the part. It looked similar to black glass with galaxies forged throughout it.
As she dropped my stone into the liquid it hissed and sputtered, all the while Faria watched onwards leaving the ten-year-old me in complete silence.
Minutes which felt like hours went by before Faria reached her gloved hands into the liquid, and out emerged my stone with a new sheen and a faraway sort of look. The oracle gently dusted away the remaining nox liquid into its storage bowl and tucked it away into a small cubby hole. Her attention turned again, back to the stone where she heaved it over to a plate made of fine copper. She grabbed ahold of my hand and dragged me forward, propping me up beside her with an easy view of the gem and it's copper bed.
She looked over to a piece of fine metal, elongated and similar to a string before she placed it onto my stone and pressed down hard. A crackle was heard and I let out a soft gasp as I watched my gemstone crack, leaving behind a partial piece of a crescent moon.
Faria smiled wearily and placed it into my hands, turning to me gently she spoke with a surprisingly soft motherly tone
"From this day forth my dear, you do not show anyone this unless you believe they are the one. Do not let pack boundaries stop you, for this binds you to your fate." And with that, she slipped it into a chain through a small hole in the middle of the moon. I smiled at my shape and let her clip the necklace around my neck. Now I can find my beloved.
