"I am guessing that the moon has risen already?" The Dragon asked Khirya, she nodded, "yes, and you know what happens when the moon reaches its final peak?" Arvyntyr nodded back at her, then looked at me, Xavier, Demetri, and Nina. The look in his eyes hadn't left, he still had that look on his face, I heard a long drawn out sigh from the goddess, but before I could find out what was going on, a piercing pain shot down my legs. I screamed out and unwillingly fell to the floor, I felt like my bones were being stretched out. I heard groans coming form beside me, it was Demetri, Xavier and Nina, I recognized their voices almost instantly, although it was starting to get difficult to hear them. I tried to reach out to my sister, but I was unable, I slowly felt myself becoming limp, I couldn't move my body, then all I could see was black.
"Mom!" I yelled looking around in a panic, walking down the paths that go through our village. I then saw a large group standing together looking down. I walked briskly towards them and pushed my way through the crowd, I expected to see my mother, but she wasn't there, it was my father, he was laying on the ground, he looked almost peaceful. I walked towards him, my heart was racing and I was almost completely overcome by fear. I reached down to check his pulse, his skin was cold, and I felt no heartbeat under my fingertips. I slumped onto my knees and looked at my father's lifeless body, then as I heard footsteps coming from in front of me, I heard my mother speak. "I am sorry, he gave me no choice, he wanted to tell you things you should never know, I had to do it to keep you safe. Please forgive me Winn." I looked up at her and my blood boiled looking at her face, "so you killed him?!" She sighed, "I said he gave me no choice, but know we can live in peace, and you can live a life that you want. We can finally be the family we were meant to be." I glared at her, then she changed, she no longer looked like my mother, she was someone I didn't recognize. Her eyes had sunken in, and her lips were white. She fainted, and fell onto the ground. I didn't get up, I grabbed my father's hand and held it tight. "I am sorry..."
I opened my eyes and sat up quickly, looking around I noticed that I was still in the God's Temple. I looked to my left and saw Xavier sitting next to me, he smiled. "Finally you are awake, we were scared you wouldn't wake up." I rubbed my eyes then looked back at him, my eyesight adjusting, I saw that there was a scorpion like tail behind him. I shot up and moved backwards, "the hell??" He looked at me with wide eyes, "you-" I blinked, my legs felt weird, I couldn't feel them moving individually, I looked down and saw that I had no legs at all, they had turned into a long snakes tail, I could guess that it was about 15ft long, the scales were a dark blue. Some of my hair fell in front of my face, it's color had changed from a light orange to a dark and vibrant red. I looked at my hands and my fingernails were growing long and sharp like blades. "Is this what Ruine's prophecy meant?" I asked looking at Arvyntyr and he nodded, "I am sure that this is what he was talking about." Xavier stood up and started walking towards me, "as you have seen, I have grown a Scorpion's tail." I nodded and relaxed slightly but it didn't last long. "Where is Nina?" I asked, "right her sis." I looked at my sister, she was sitting on the edge of the bowl next to Arvyntyr. Her black hair has turned red as well only it is on fire, she had grown black dragon like wings and tail. She also had dark horns and claws. I smiled seeing my sister, "are you alright?" She nodded, "yes sis I am alright." Demetri who was leaning against the bottom of the bowl had then spoken, "now that we have become what ever we are, what does this all mean?" I looked at Demetri, he had these white quills coming out of his arms, they were pointing upwards towards his face. "It means that we are going to have a bunch of 1300 year old Demons walking around. As well as the leader of the Albu family." Khirya said, she was hovering above the bowl which Nina was sitting on, I heard the roar from earlier, it was coming from her immense wings."Wait, so the Demons that were living under the city are the kidnapped Demons and their captor?" Demetri asked, Khirya nodded. "I am afraid so."
