Brimstone

The beginning to the end

Moonlight streamed in through the ruby red curtains giving the room an ominous red glow. I step in front of my mirror looking at my appearance I have long black curly hair that reaches mid chest with porcelain skin and crystal blue eyes. I looked horrible my black eye liner running down my face.

A small amount of light from the moon bounced off my necklace that my father had given me when my mother passed. He had a necklace made for her of my name I was the only child they had he wanted her to have a piece of me where ever she went. In gold cursive it read Amira, my name. A small smile plated on my face from the thought of her. My father and I are the only ones left in my family. We have a pack of 236 lycans.

I kick off my mud covered boots slowly padding my way over to the small bathroom off of my bedroom. I strip out of the wet clothes from earlier.

Turning the knob to the shower all the way to hot. The events of today come rushing back.
My father is a kind and caring man but he is not one to sway from the code he's made. Today I broke his code I had no idea that the outcome would havee loose so much. The code we live by is one from centuries ago we are the last pure blood lycan pack in the world. He's rules follow as such.
1. Do not leave the pack grounds.
2. Always follow the elders guidance
3. Remember why we are the last of our kind.
4. Never use your gifts

Each rule has a meaning behind it. Number 1 is for our protection. We had a Betta once long ago who's mate was human noble he left the pack grounds to save her from the upcoming war between our species and the humans.

The war began because some lycans were finding they're mates amount the humans. Cross breeding between is very dangerous many humans died. To them we are monsters that took there mothers, sisters and daughters away from them they feared us.

He wanted to save her when he was found out he was murdered in front of her eyes in despair she killed her self.

Number 2 talks about the elders they are what some would call spirits they are past lycans that the moon goddess leaves on Earth to watch and guide all of us.

Number 3 is why number one was made. After the war began many humans attacked us. It turned into a civil war that went on for centuries it was brother against brother, son against son.

Some believed we could live in harmony others believed we would be humanities down fall. My mother died at the beginning she wanted to hold a peace take to try to end what had begun.

She wanted to show we were just like them that we could work together. But because so many humans had lost loved ones because of this they took the opportunity to make her an example for other lycans.

To teach us to disappear. That didn't work more lycans became animalistic and started killing any human that stood in there way. We all have gifts the moon goddess bestowed on us but once you start killing even for self-preservation you lose for gift. As the war went on humans became 1% of the population only leaving there cross bred offsprings.
Much of the world is that today.

Number 4 is why mixing lycan with human is dangerous beyond the fact that lycans have gifts which include Earth's 4 elements. If a human can get a hold of you they can torture you to use them. Some lycans had mates that turned against them because of there families.

There gifts were used to harm others.  I am the last lycan that has all four elements at my control. My mother was the first before me to have all of them.
