Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 42: Friend and Foe

"You can't be serious...." CL scoffed at Minzy.

"Up to you to believe me or not, but at least hear me out." Minzy begged them. CL waved her hand for Minzy to continue.

"Back in the 16th century, there was a global scale's war going on behind the curtain of history. It was cloaked behind other battles but it has only one objective. Destroy the other party completely and remove them from the history.

The Wolfharts have played a great role in keeping the peace of the world since its existance but there was a disagreement between the first generation and second generation. The first generation wanted to protect the world in the shadow while the second generation wanted to go public. Mind you back then, all of the Wolfharts wielded more powerful and more notorious levels of abilities compared to us now.

The first generation, which is the founder, Leo Wolfhart was absolute in his resolve to keep the secret of the family hidden from the world, for no matter what ages they were in, the society will always tried to monopoly their abilities for their greeds by oppressing the family. So he chose to protect the world's peace in the shadow, only involving themselves with large scale conflicts that destroys the balance of the world.

But the second generation, Leo's firstborn son; Claudius Wolfhart wanted to unleash the power and establish a footing for the family in the world, thus eliminating all conflicts and bringing peace to the world. Proposing that only the Wolfharts are eligible to become the rulers of nations, for they are just and rightful.

At first, it was just a difference in ideology but little by little it escalated into skirmishes. Claudius became radical, convinced that his father is weak and pathetic. He claimed that his father wanted to be subdued and chained by the masses rather than leading the world to a better future by using their powers. With his conviction, he tried to gather the family members for his cause, to remove his father from the throne and claimed it for himself.

Leo noticed the changes of his son. For his love to him, Leo begged Claudius countless of times to changed his view, claiming despites the turmoils and conflicts in the world, there are still lights of hope in humanity. That they shouldn't be involving directly in the matter of the normals, but helping them from within their shadows. But Claudius was obstinant. Irritated by his father's action, Claudius went into exile, leaving his family behind.

It was years later that Claudius revealed his fangs. In his exile, he founded his own organization called The Seers. Pulling strings from the shadow, toppling and destroying any country that opposed him and rebuilding them to his liking, fit to his ambition. By the time Leo realized it, it was too late. Claudius has already conquered more than 70% of the world. With this strength, he set his plan in motion. Wiping out the 30% that was not in his grasp, along with the rest of the Wolfharts.

For the first time ever, the Wolfharts revealed themselves to the world. Leo and those who were loyal to him gathered allies all over the world but Claudius' claws has gripped the world tightly. With what little allies they had, they formed an elite combat force, which is known as The Shadow." Minzy told them.

"The Shadow? Our old organization?" CL frowned.

"Yes. The one that we 21 and Calintz's Wolfpack joined before. You might thought the commander, Illyasvil founded the organization, but no. He was only the torch bearer, following Leo's ideology and carried his will.

Continuing the story. Despite the aggressiveness of Claudius, Leo still trying to reason with his son, trying his best to stop any blood from spilling for the stupid family's squabble. But to no avail. Claudius retaliated by making a preemptive strike on The Shadow, annihilating all but five of them; Leo himself, Viletta of Famine, Jack of Plague, Akiya of Carnage, and Cassandra of Time." Minzy continued.
