Prologue:
" The high priestess will not be able to send you off, due to some important issue within the council, but she gives you her best regards" a man in a black cloak appears out of nowhere to inform them. He looks like he is in his early 30s, but everyone was sure as hell that he is at least a century old already,
perks of being a vampire-witch.
"It's fine, I do understand that she's too busy" a small girl wearing a brown dress replied politely and gave off a bright smile that can lighten anyone's day. Although she was really upset that the high priestess will not be able to send her off to her deep slumber.
The man in the cloak just nodded before going in the corner to give way for the other elders to bid their goodbyes and good luck.
"Remember, it is for the future of our coven my dear. We shall await for your return" A middle-aged woman told her while caressing her back, she's one of the elders from the coven her mother belongs with.
She looked at her mother who was having teary eyes in the corner, afraid to get near to her because she knew that she can think twice for accepting this decision from the council and assassinate the whole council just to be with her precious little daughter.
"Please guide thy pack as we journeyed towards the future" This time it was Mr. Roswell, the eldest among the elders from the pack of his father, he stands as her grandfather whenever the Alpha-her father was out for a journey. He's the best among the elders of the pack because most of them are too strict especially during training and being a spoiled brat she used to escape training hours and make a run in the forest, she, will definitely miss those time, but, somehow she knew that she won't mind the time because the high priestess already explained it to her that she will only feel like she was asleep nothing more and nothing less.
Another more farewell regard was said as they prepared for the ritual, most of the attendees were the elders from the coven and high officials of the pack.
Even though the young girl wanted to see her friends and younger brother one last time before she hibernates, that can't be done, it will be too dangerous for them if they will be exposed to a high level of incantation, it may cause their power to go astray and go wild that may lead to their mental breakdown or worst, death.
The witches assigned to their post began to speak differently to start the ritual. In an eagle's point of view there is a big circle written with blood or was it a red paint?
There's a star inside the big circle along with different carvings and symbols, in the middle lies a tomb-like bed with comfy white bedsheets made of pure cotton and silk for the linings, it is covered with fresh and dried leaves and petals of different flowers.
The tomb-like bed was surrounded with candles that added an eerie atmosphere in that place.
A small girl like 10–12 yrs of age wears a long brown dress that reaches her toes and lays there comfortably as a man in a blue cloak assists her making sure she is okay, and she just simply nodded as a reply to him.
As the witches perform the ritual, the girl closes her eyes as her breathing starts to become stable and looks like she's sleeping peacefully.
They chanted a few more stanzas louder and much clearer verbal noise filled the whole place. It ended smoothly without any further interruption, the whole place fell into silence as the witches breathed heavily catching their own breaths, some of them even knelt on the ground like their powers had sucked out of their bodies. There are almost 30 witches who performed the ritual and half of them are laying in the ground unconscious only a few manage
to stand up straight after performing the ritual. After all it is indeed a powerful incantation.
"Is it done.?" the man in blue cloaked stated but sounded that he is asking rather than stating it.
They carefully cover the tomb bed with a fiberglass case that can shield the inside from any harm coming from the outside, they also put another powerful spell to keep her safe until her awakening.
"She'll be fine" the oracle stated in an eerie voice that can send shivers down your spine as she vanished into thin air. Even though the oracle was already gone, it's like her voice is still echoing
throughout the place.
As the first offspring of a hybrid and an alpha of a Lycanthrope pack she was prophesied to be the most powerful creature that has been born and the 'Council' of the world government cannot accept the fact that the next heir to the throne of the most powerful pack is a girl, and also they're scared of her enormous power that can wipe an entire nation in the upcoming war between the different species, well that was according to the oracle, with this in mind, the Council made her sleep really deep to lock up her power until the end of the prophesied war.
That wasn't the story her brother knows only the elders knew that, he was told that she would wake up during the war, that she was asleep to conserve her power to be used during the war but none of that happened.
Her younger brother took place as the next Alpha and led the war, hoping and praying
that his sister will wake up in the time of battle and be the heroine that will save everyone. But she didn't come, that caused almost their entire pack to be wiped out and their parents died with the others, they were forced to run and hide to keep their species alive. He resented her and blamed her for everything that has happened without knowing that it was the Council's fault. Most of the witches who performed the ritual and knows about her location have died and some of them just disappeared after that. She was presumed dead, forgotten through the time and no one knows where she is.
