Secrets!, secrets!, secrets!. The most unimaginable but yet the truth.
Kept for different reasons in my own case for my protection.
Dark pasts,harsh realities and family secrets. All these have amounted to form the secret;my dad was a jovial
man,he didn't hide anything from us,he told us how our mother died, despite we were still kids,he told us the source of his wealth,his family history and dark family secrets that should not be shared with kids.
Another school of thoughts arose that he could be trying to protect us from what the secret beholds.
A wise man said "people don't lie to you because they want to but because they think the truth will."
These thoughts crowded my mind as the van stopped.
Mr Reginald passed the wheel to Erico and then came to sit with us in the back.
He cleared his throat and stared at us for a moment then began:
"Are you ready?" He asked. We both nodded.
"Where shall I begin?,"
"The wereworld aspect!". Erico answered him.
"That'll be nice." Mr Reginald said.
" You see kids,all the werewolves that torment our world aren't from this world they're from another parallel universe similar to ours, you've heard of those right?" He said, taking a pause.
"I'll take it from here," Erico said.
"The wereworld is an amazing place, unlike your world which has sun for hours,the sun only rises for about one hour there. The moon flourishes for the entire night, gifting its Luna freely to the were creatures.
Our world doesn't only inhabit werewolves,we've got: werecats,werefoxes,werebirds and many more.
Our world was a Utopia for everything, living with our packs peacefully until a dreadful man arose seeking to understand the things of darkness, seeking to control the forces of our world, trying to bend his way into changing our world's system.
History calls him the Lord of the dark era,some call him the ruthless Alpha of the North.
He was born in the northern parts of the wereworld, a place for arctic wolves. The monster was an arctic wolf and cursed with strong Luna. As he grew older his Luna got stronger,and by the time he was eight,his Luna was stronger than a fully grown wolf.
History has it that he was cold, deceptive and manipulative,and to make things worse the people of the North worshipped him and crowned him their God, offering gifts to him daily.
He was no longer a child,but a god,and as his age went up he noticed a thirst for blood.
He began eating his kind,some werewolves said it was normal and that it was a quality of a god. But others thought it was completely horrendous.
He was fed daily with dead bodies.
He was an alpha by nature, but history never recorded his pack members.
You see this man stumbled upon the tome of the North.
The tome recorded that arctic wolves didn't come from the wereworld,but the human world.
The North part of the wereworld was actually home to another species of were creatures who hid upon the arctic wolves arrival.
This shocking truth enigmatized the kitty god,he kept on reading; Chronicles,lorebooks,annals,records and ancient archives only to unveil that arctic wolves were from another dimension.
A mysterious portal opens up one day and were wolves escaping from hunger and death in the brutal arctic,run into it, transported into another world favourable to them.
At age sixteen,he was able to collect this data, about his existence. He called the revelationhis destiny and spent hundreds of years trying to figure out how to open the Portal.
He left his followers, traveling the utmost part of the Northern were world, studying codexes, reading ancient novels and visiting ancient structures until he found a way to reopen the portal.
He returned to his followers, victorious and by this time,his Luna was extremely strong and no wolf could stay in a room with him. His Luna was so strong it could kill anyone.
He opened the portal in the city;the capital of the northern wereworld. His venture was an exploration into his origin but it led to the destruction of the wereworld.
As the portal opened, rather than the picture of the arctic he beheld an army of vampires. They entered the were world and since then our peaceful utopia transformed into an apocalyptic world raging with monsters.
Rather than fighting them off with his strength,the alpha ran away causing the biggest massacre in wereworld history.
He ran to the east, hiding from his past but the news had spread fast and other werecreatures ran from him, calling him name.
At this moment,he was not used to this,his mind was not prepared for the trauma of hatred. He was always loved and accepted wherever he went.
He was both blood hungry,and power thirsty."
"Where is this going?, Banchy interrupted.
"Chill, you'll understand soon,"Erico said.
"I don't see how a power hungry werewolf concerns my life".
"Go on"
"All these will help you understand an important truth,"Mr Reginald said.
"I proceed!," Erico began.
"He recruited some werecreatures that had Luna and well,killed a lot of werewolves for very obscure reasons,he opened a portal to your world and took over.
He ruled ruthlessly, killing and you know and the peculiar thing about him was he had silver immunity. He killed his associates without second thought but died two years after mysteriously.
The Lord knew how to open portals,but couldn't close them. In the wereworld the vampires created monsters,deadly plants and diverse kinds of destructive creations.
This led to the migration of many creatures to your world using the same portal the Lord created."
"Now the part that concerns both of you." Mr Reginald said.
"Finally!," Banchy said.
"I actually enjoyed the tale,and think I've read a book that spoke about something like this."I said.
" I didn't really!" Banchy said vehemently.
"Please can you go on". I asked, looking more intrigued.
I do have a thing or two for werewolf fantasy.
