Chapter 121 My Father
Chapter 121 My Father
SKYLA.
The entire hall falls silent, the buzz of chattering fades away, the tinkling of glasses being placed down soon stops too and the soft laughter fades into nothing…. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
The rustling of fabric stops, as everyone pays attention to the king.
“Some of you may have heard rumours, but for the majority, this will come as a shock.
Our world has been at peace for years now. Bridges have been built and we have progressed in many ways. Something that was only possible because of the efforts of many.” Dad begins.
“However, in recent years, there have been some odd occurrences… things that are unexplainable or unheard of before – having begun appearing. Not to mention visions and prophecies that point to something far bigger to come.” Dad glances around, giving them a moment to let the words sink in before continuing.
“There’s so much that is still a mystery, and it is partially the reason we abstained from sharing this with the public. There are things that shouldn’t even be on this planet that are now making their appearances.’
The room is silent as everyone listens to Dad, and I know thousands of people are watching this all around the world. The cameras are rolling and for a moment I simply watch Dad, seeing him in king mode.
He truly is admirable…
“There’s no way to sugarcoat it or hide the fact that we have not been able to nip this in the bud. This is something we are still trying to handle. Yes, we will keep on fucking trying and we will put an end to it, but as a united council, we have agreed that the world needs to know.”
“What exactly is going on and how is it even possible?” Someone nearby asks.
Dad’s eyes snap to the table.
“We don’t really know, but what we have gathered is there has been some kind of tear in the veil between this world and the realm. of the gods.”
That causes a buzz of whispers to spread until Dad raises his hand.
“I know it may not seem fucking believable, but the truth is, we are already seeing beasts from that world somehow force their way into our world. The serpents of Apophis, or you can say the beasts of Typhon, call him whatever the fuck you want, but that threat is very real.”
The ominous feeling in the vast hall is growing as everyone listens to Dad speak. The heavy tension is growing and my eyes flick to Aleric, who is watching Dad with a calm, almost amused hint of a smile on his face.
“I hope this isn’t some scare mongering tactic, your majesty. With all due respect, but not many have actually seen these things you speak of.” Someone remarks.
“People are already being killed by these beasts that even the strongest of Alphas of this country are finding a mission to defeat. I get nothing out of scaring our people.” Dad’s eyes flash and with every word my own heart is twisting.
This is real. This threat is fucking real, and the worst part is it could harm any of us at any given time.
“This is not some joke. Even I’m not that fucking sadistic to ruin the blood moon if I didn’t have a legit reason.” Dad continues, his eyes flashing. “If we can exist on this earth, and hold Selene, Hecate… and even Helios as real, then Apophis can exist, too. And just how once upon a fucking time they walked this earth, the chance that something similar may happen again is fucking real.”
His voice is powerful, laced with absolute clarity, and it hits everyone in this hall.
A few surprise exclamations and murmurs fill the room and it’s obvious that it’s now clicking to most that this is fucking real.
However, a quick glance around shows that still not everyone is able to process how fucking serious this is.
“Do we know what’s out there?”
“We don’t know exactly what’s on the other side, the monsters, the dangers, the darkness. But the bottom line is, what we have seen is far from fucking pleasant. We don’t know how big of a threat this can become, but something is coming, and we need to be prepared for it.” Dad continues.
“I know a decade ago I promised a world of peace, a world where we don’t need to focus on kill or be killed!”
Dad looks down for a moment, a deep frown on his face.
“To give our youth a better future. That was my dream. But now things are changing… and it’s with a heavy heart that I’m admitting that it’s time to bring back those days. To stay on alert once more, aware and prepared for the dangers we may face. To train for survival… because we’re going to need it. A war is coming, and we need to be ready.”.
A ripple of murmurs travel through the room at his final words, but many are beginning to get angry.
Fear does that to people.
But it doesn’t help my own irritation which is on the rise. It’s obvious that there’s a lot of negative shit being said.
“For those who are listening in from another country… I just want to say, let’s work together, let’s share what we may know because I can assure you, we need to do this as one. I don’t know if there’s been anything similar going on elsewhere, but the chances are likely. Let’s prove that we are stronger united, because anything is possible.” Dad says, looking directly at the cameras.
Someone stands and raises a hand. “Alpha King.”
Dad turns to the woman, who looks pretty pale.
“The way you are speaking, my king, is as if you are implying that the end of the world could be coming, correct?” she asks, sending a wave of unease through the room.
‘Are you listening in?’ I ask Royce through the mind link.
‘Yes… they aren’t taking it too well, are they, Love.’ Royce’s sexy voice comes, I see Aleric tilt his head, and I want to rip his head off as he watches her intently.
“Only time will tell where this will go, but all I know is, darker times are near.” Dad answers.
“And what more is the council hiding from us? How long has this been happening and we’ve been kept in the dark?” Someone else asks.
“Not long, and as soon as we realised it’s not a threat that will be resolved soon, we decided to alert the public.” Dad says. His powerful voice is clear and sharp.
“So why now? Why instil fear if the council can’t handle this? Then what chances do we have?”
“We will handle it, and we will continue to look for a solution, but the people need to take precautions to keep themselves safe too.” Dad answers smoothly. “Technology has advanced so much more than what we had many years ago.
He’s composed, collected, and in control, but the questions are being thrown at him from all angles.
“So are you saying, Alpha King Alejandro Rossi, that because of your idealisms and false promises that you are now unable to uphold them any longer. That we made a mistake to ever follow you?” Someone shouts. “That we will all suffer, because now we have to make up for lost time and prepare to train our youth?” 2
Silences falls and I turn to stare at the Alpha who had spoken. Urgh, it’s that what’s-his- name cunt from the trial…
I glance back at Dad, ready for him to answer as the cameras flash away, but what pulls at my heart is the look of guilt and regret in his eyes.
No. Fuck no.
I stand up just as Leo does, his aura rages. just like my own. My eyes flash, my heart thundering as I glare at the cunt, and before Leo can speak, I beat him to it. 3
“How dare you! My father has given his fucking life to protect our kind, to unite our species and to do the best for everyone! He gave the youth of today a reason to live for more than just fighting! He gave us a purpose! If it wasn’t for his academies, his treaties and his determination, we would still be walking on eggshells at human schools. We would be hiding away and trying to blend in! We would be enemies with the witches! He gave us a chance to live a normal life at being ourselves! Now that something is out of his hands, you think you can just insult him?!”
