Just like that, I was in command and Even Semas began to look at me with thankful eyes, probably because I helped them find out the snakes or something like that, not like I don't appreciate the gratitude, haha.
Semas is sneakily trying to help people remember her and even point out if someone shows a different or interesting expression hearing her name.this will help us find some clues as well as what we need, I also asked him to narrate or even show me every detail he remembers of the enemy pack that they have been fighting. As of yet, I don't even know if there is another Umbra but I think I can find out. I also need to see if the doctor and the trainer are under the command of the Umbra or the rival pack.
Semas and Hale can't seem to find the Umbra so that probably means either she knows that we know or she is on some secret mission. I dig my claws into his mind and start seeing every detail I can get without harming the poor Alpha, it seems I have grown to respect this guy since he is dealing with the situation with such patience. Though I can feel the dread underneath him, the fact that he cannot find Noris, one of his sons, is nerve-wracking for him.
While Hale tried to find the Umbra and the connections between his wife and some unknown enemy. I decided to check up on the rival pack. I could just go flying into their den and cut everyone up but I dont wanna ruin the 'Balance' so I am gonna ask their Druid to help me get a ticket to their den or house or whatever.
The enemy pack was kind of like a wild wolf pack, no order no rules, only the Alpha made the rule, it looked much more of an instinctual rule than that of Hales and I dont wanna see this shit hole again but after meeting them one thing was very clear.....the druids dont have it, easy man.
I could not find any dirt on the pack aside from the fact that they just wanted all the territory for themselves. I used my status as a wolf...Alpha wolf to contact Hale...I have had this ability since I am from the twilight verse as well, the pack leaders have that ability to contact other pack leaders through thought. It's more like a signal but I can also converse with words since I am extra special.
This means that either the three people are connected, I think as I go back to the Hale mansion. Looks like I am gonna have to get rid of the two. I hope the Umbra does not do anything drastic or something like that.
Semas is waiting for me at the entrance, I dont think anyone has seen me fly before so it's a given that his jaw is hitting the ground haha.
"How did you do that,werewolfs can't do that?" he asked with a shocked expression....along with envy, poor bastard, everyone has the dream to fly, haha
"I am not a werewolf, I am a wolf, the wolf you know what I mean, a little bit of mysticism is not something new. I gave him a smirk,
" Bastard, why can't I fly as well" hearing him made me laugh.
He took me to the training grounds, the bastards we're using my forest as a training field, looks like I am gonna talk with the druid....wait where the fuck is the druid....he better not be licking my resting place in reverence again, I won't be forgiving him this time. with various thoughts going through my mind, we arrived at the place, the trainer has led aside and I could feel the fear rolling off of him.
He was about to speak but I did not let him, my claws are enough for that. I dug into him and searched his memories and in the end, killed him
The bastard was working with the Umbra, The doctor was not aware that he was working with the Umbra, well looks like you are gonna live doctor.
Although I could not see a face since Umbras lose their face as a price of their power and negativity I think I got some clue
"The guy did not know who the Umbra is but whenever he talked with the Umbra, there was mention of a place called, Desada. Ring any bells?" I asked and was met with a horrified look from Semas
He started crying with his hands holding his hair and pulling it with so much strength that he pulled them out.....why are these people so dramatic, geez man.
I decided that he was in no condition to speak so I took him out of the forest and burned the guy's corpse to ashes. did you know that a dead werewolf is extremely flammable for some reason?
With a quick search around the house, I found Hale with his son Noris, I told him about the place called Desada which caused surprise to color his face
"It's the town of black clouds, the big fore happened, its the town my wife was from, it makes sense now, maybe someone from far back in her past is here to take revenge or something...we must find her"
We both got on horses for faster travel until we were far away from civilization and I took him to the skies along with Semas, He was also shocked by my flight ability, and let me tell you....it never gets old,haahaa
After flying for an hour we reached what would only look like the aftermath of an atomic missile going off.
The whole land was black and broken beyond repair, it kinda made me angry, someone ruining the once fertile land and turning it into this monstrosity.
I guess the duo was able to sense my agitation and backed away as far as they could.
As I walked through the black barren land, I could feel the very negativity sealed within the place, probably the souls of the dead ones not passing on and becoming thestrals, Creatures that torture you in your dreams.
Besides the obvious dread and loss this feeling is giving off o can also feel that there is something wrong with it. this place houses something g unnatural or something that is against the rules of even the Supernaturals. Yes, I have come to understand the supernatural of this world. There are some that could ground me into dust and others that I could grind into dust.
I think Hale nad Semas was also able to sense or should I say smell the negativity in the air and we're ready for some kind of clown crawling out of the rubble.
"What's that sculpture, Hale?" I asked as I pointed at the sculpture, despite the whole place being black and beaten, the sculpture was white as a sheet of paper, almost unsettling, I could feel something on it, something strange.
"It's supposed to be the sculpture of a goddess that the people of this town used to worship, Goddess of good fortune or. something.its said that she will keep your bad fortune to herself so that you can enjoy a good and healthy life..... it's also said that all your bad fortune will be returned tenfold should you break the three golden rules."
He said in a grave voice, "What three rules exactly?" I asked him as I inspected tye sculpture up close
"Its that all town folk must only pray to her, a body of a virgin boy must be sacrificed to her every year in the name of the goddess and the last rules is that...that the women of this town can never have a boy as a child and mist be killed if born," He said
"And your wife has two healthy boys, oh boy what a spit on the mighty goddess face is it not!?" I said with a raised eyebrow
"Perhaps it is some survivor from this town, one that knew your wife, and you, maybe he tried to stop her from loving you maybe he saw your wife all happy and remembered how his town was now dead and maybe he thinks it is all because of your wife," I said
Man! I am such a good story maker.
"That is highly unlikely, my wife only ever had one family member and had no other contact with other members of her town, that's why she left...although she did not pray to the goddess the only family member she had was her sister and she is buried six feet underground in our mansion," he said as if it was a matter of fact.
"Not necessarily Boy, what was her name," I asked, as I looked at the rubble of another house,
"Her name was Natalie," he said in a grave voice
"So Why would Natalie want to kill your pack Mr.Hale," I asked
"I already told you, She was a sweet girl and would never do this kind of a thing," he said a little offended by such an assumption
"Ohh! why not, brother can turn against another brother so why can't she, Right Natalie" is said as I threw a giant fireball at the nearby rubble causing a shadow to jump out
Hale and Semas went into a fighting position, at least they are not idiots.
Slowly the shadow morphed and turned into a woman, the women had red hair flowing down her waist, her skin was a pale yellow
"Natalie!!!" Hale shouted
"Mrs. Natalie it's you, how could you," said Semas in shock, the Women hissed at his words
"Ogghh, shut up Semas why could I not" she hissed at Semas and threw an ax at him which he dodged
"Nice to see the family gathering but I must be on with my job now, So Mrs. Natalie or the newly born Umbra, I would like to ask you, is the wife of Hale boy alive or not," I asked
"Of course she is, all so that I can let her see how i-"
"That's enough, I dont need anymore of this drama" I raised my hands and her head was in my hands I held out my other hand, and the tattoo of a small canary cage materialized into a real cage made out of Nameton wood
"With the power of the Nameton inside me Blah blah blah, Natalie is your human name and I hereby order you to forever be imprisoned in this cage," I said she started screaming and turned into black clay slowly going inside the cage in my other hands all the while screaming, mission successful
The umbra is very sneaky bastards but also have a crucial weakness, sunlight, their true name, and a place of importance, which means they cant travel freely.
She now looked like an ugly harpy, but small in size, while the body in my other hand was now back to its original form, black hair, white face with freckles, and a peaceful smile on it as she slept
I gently put her down and Hale hurriedly took her in his arms checking her up,
"I will be taking this creature with me, remember to not tell your wife about this let this memory rest, if she remembers it again, she will be in a lot of pain, let it pass like a bad dream," I said as I flew towards the Nameton taking Umbra with me
I need to put it somewhere until I know how to kill it properly since They can only be imprisoned and can only be killed with a very special flower that is hard to find.
I reached the Nameton but was greeted with the sight of a werewolf standing in front of the Nameton, he looked like the carbon copy of Hale ,just a bit more young
I hope you like the chapter, if you wanna know the backstory of Umbra ,I can post another chapter about it's,it's just generic "Oh my God I love my sisters husband but I am jealous as fuck and gain only receive his love after I come back to life as an ugly umbra" hehe
