The Alpha's Bloodline [Completed ]

Chapter 12. The Ancient History

A/N: I haven't proof-read the chapter so sorry in advance for the errors in the typos.

Carla's POV

Ancients.

There's a reason people feared those creatures. Their powers. Their abilities. The things they could do. Everything about them was other-worldly. 

Far more centuries before even the royals came into existence, the Ancients dominated the land. Unlike now, where there were only three species left which are Vampires, Werewolves and Witches. The olden era had various species which were all still a myth to us. 

There were vampires who were far more powerful than they are now and they had abilities which were unheard of. I also remember learning in Ancient History class about them having abilities like a compulsion and jumping from an extremely high height. It's said that they lived in Covens (like we have packs for werewolves) led by a coven leader (such as an alpha but for coven members). But even the Ancients had royal bloodlines who ruled above all the covens. A regular ancient might not be able to defeat a royal vampire like Evan, the vampire king. But the Ancient Vampire Royals? I can't even think about what kind of abilities they might possess.

Then there are werewolf ancients. Who are called the Lycans. The first-ever existing wolves. Well, they aren't really werewolves since they are far stronger, faster and powerful than a normal werewolf and even a royal. Their wolves are double the size of a born royal werewolf like Ariel and Daniel which is huge if I might add. They're also born with elemental abilities and seeing how Noah bent the water according to his will, I'm guessing he has water elemental ability. Also, unlike royals who have a single affinity, the royals of the Lycans race had many affinities. It's said that Lycans had many royal families. Not just one or two. Many.

Coming to the witches, Ancient witches had different kinds. We have black witches and white witches---the one who gives up to the darkness and resorts to dark black magic and the one who sticks to nature's original magic, respectively. But in ancient times, there were many kinds of witches. 

Apart from the normal black and white witches, there were the seasonal witches---the winter witch, the autumn witch, the spring witch, summer witch and the rain witch. Then there were the blessed witches who had exceptional abilities such as looking into the past, present or future, or the ones who could sneak a glance into people's mind---an ability that Claire, the only existing ancient witch I know of has, which states she's one of the blessed witches. And lastly, there were the demonic witches. Something that Noah is. Something that is the darkest of all kinds of witches, even the black witch who resorts to black magic.

Demonic Witches. These were the witches who worshipped and sought the help of the demonic creatures to gain the power of the underworld---the dead. Not everyone succeeded in becoming one though. 'Cause well, When you're too indulged in gaining the power of the dead, you risk being a part of the dead. Many have lost their sanity and many lost their lives while seeking this power. 

The rare two percent of who sacrificed themselves for being a part of the underworld receive blessing in the form of exceptional powers. But honestly speaking, I would say they were more like a curse. Because firstly, once you receive these 'gifts' or 'blessing', you can't return it back or not use it whatsoever. Secondly, most of the time these 'gifts' had side-effects to them. Side effects such as blood-lust even if you're a witch since the demons of the underworld seek the blood of the innocent or an intense desire to turn evil or do something wicked. Lastly, when you give up yourself to the underworld, you don't give up only yourself, you sacrifice the rest of your generation. Saying that, all the firstborn of the generation you bore will be a demonic witch from birth as well. Whether they want to be or not. They don't have a choice.
