Chapter 55 - 55-The Wolves And The Serpent
In the Gigantuan Patch of Land within the Forest. A Calm Lake resided within such Land, and it was the Home of the Silver Wolves Pack. A Giant Silver Wolf stood in front of a Mangled Giant Silver Wolf. Silence overtook the Area as numerous Silver Wolves looked from afar. The Giant Silver Wolf turned its head and looked at the numerous Silver Wolves in the Distance. She then asked with a Calm Voice to the Wolves. 'Who?' It was one simple word as the Silver Wolves answered her question. 'It was the Orks...' The Giant Silver Wolf, hearing such words, nodded. 'I see...'
Luna looked at the Silver Wolves and ordered with a Calm Tone. 'Please go back and prepare the defenses.' The Silver Wolves nodded without any problems as they walked out and prepared the defenses. They also gathered numerous Silver Wolves with them as they would need Wolfpower to Defend the Pack. The only ones with Luna were the White Serpent Persia and the Dark Ashen Eagle Ego. They looked at her in silence as Persia spoke to Luna. 'Your Leader is Dead... Who should represent the Leader now, Luna?'
Luna realized that since her Dad was dead. There was no representative of the Silver Wolves. Luna felt her heart beating as she looked around their Home. She couldn't find anyone that could be a Leader. Persia seeing Luna's Panicking Expression chuckled. Persia then thought with a calm tone. 'You should remember who you are, Daughter of the Pack Leader.' Hearing Persia's words, Luna realized what Persia was trying to say. Luna kneeled in front of Persia as she wanted Persia to help them.
'Please help us, Master Persia!!!' Luna wanted Persia to save them. Persia stares at Luna, who was kneeling and spoke. 'Is there something you can give me in exchange? There is nothing in this realm that is free.' It was the act of exchange between two parties. Persia couldn't save them out of goodwill as it wouldn't give anything to her.
Luna looked around, trying to find anything valuable. She couldn't find anything as the Silver Wolf Pack was dirt poor. Most of them were even Malnourished because it was hard to hunt with rival Daemon Beast Factions. There was also the Ork Faction which was a Daemon Monster Faction. Despite being the lowest, They were enough to destroy Daemon Beast Factions within the Forest.
'We will give you our Loyalty, Master Persia.' Luna said while she was still kneeling on the ground. Persia raised an eyebrow after hearing Luna's Offer. 'Loyalty? Do you think your People would agree with your choice, Luna?' Persia doubts that the Silver Wolves would agree with her being their Master. They wouldn't accept the Orks Offer, so why would they accept her offer.
'Don't worry about it, Master Persia. We will do everything to avoid those Tyrannical Orks.' Luna said as Persia replied with a Tranquil Smile and a Calm Voice. 'What made you think that I'm not a Tyrant?' Persia was quite curious as she was obviously the Last Thing they should pledge their loyalty to. Luna stopped kneeling in front of Persia and looked right through her Golden Amber Eyes.
'Because I think Master Persia wouldn't be a Tyrant.' It was a simple answer. Persia chuckled after hearing such words as she didn't know what to say after hearing them. 'You think?' It would be hard for people to trust what they think as it would obviously be under one's biases. They needed someone that could counter them, which was why Persia had a partner who was more or less on equal footing with her.
'Well, Luna. Do you think you wouldn't be able to betray me?' Persia asked the most important action. It was clear that Persia already activated the World Eye and Dominion Authority, which presented everything Luna thought within her mind. Luna answered Perisa's question with a calm voice. 'I don't know how to answer such questions, so before answering it. I will pledge my Life to Master Persia and let time tell the tale.'
'Hmm...' Persia was in thought after hearing what Luna said. It was a Good Question, and Persia didn't see any Malicious Intentions within her Heart despite Two Origin Skills scanning her in and out. Persia smiled towards Luna as she was completely different. It was expected as Luna was the Daughter of the Pack Leader. She must be like a Warrior Princess.
'I accept this Offer, Luna... I hope you won't disappoint me.' Persia thought with her Grand and Noble Voice. It was the Same Voice where the White Serpent spoke. Luna nodded and kneeled once again in front of Persia. Numerous Symbols appeared right beside Luna. It was the time where Persia would start one of the simple things she found in the Dominion Authority.
'The Loyalty of One's Subordinates is Important. The Ability of One's Subordinates is Needed. The Freedom of One's Subordinates is Adequate. The Three Ideas within my idea of Subordinates. The Pillar of Intelligence, Strength, and Spirit will be controlled by me and me alone. I will be your King, Lord, Emperor, and Monarch. I am your Father and Mother and will be your Progenitor. Do you agree, Luna?' Persia spoke numerous words as signs began appearing around the air.
A Silver White Circle materialized below Luna as the Aura around them got stronger and stronger. A Gigantic Contract slowly formed around Luna and Persia. It was with the help of Ego using the Books they found in the Ancient Library. She could easily create a Spell for the Origin Skill Dominion Authority. It takes a lot of Energy, but Persia had a Tank of Energy within her.
Luna felt the Aura around her. It was pressuring her but also helping her. This was the moment where she would make a choice. It was the Choice that would change every aspect of her life. With this in mind, Luna formed a smile on her face and spoke with a confident tone. 'Yes, I agree!!! I will pledge my Life to Lord Persia.' A Bright Light illuminated as the Contract was complete.
The Brightlight shone and created a Small Pillar of Light that pierced through the Heavens and its White Fluffy Clouds. It created a strong shockwave that rustled the leaves within the forest. The Silver Wolves around the area were shocked as they didn't know what was happening. The Small Pillar of Light slowly dimmed as the Contract was finally complete.
'That took a lot more energy than expected.' Persia thought to herself as she sighed. She looked around and finally saw Luna. There was nothing different with Luna, but there was one thing that caught Persia's eye. In Luna's Fur was a Dark Mark that looked like a Serpent. It must be the Contract Persia placed upon Luna's Body and Spirit. Luna was lying on the ground as she began moving, which signified her waking up.
Luna opened her eyelids which revealed her Purple Amethyst Eyes. She looked around and slowly stood up as she found herself tired from the contract. Luna then saw Persia staring at her. Luna quickly bowed in front of Persia and swore with a confident tone. 'I swear all my Loyalty to Lord Persia.' Persia chuckled after hearing Luna and spoke with a calm tone. 'I hope you won't disappoint me.'
'Luna, are you sure that the Silver Wolves would agree with you?' Persia asked as Luna nodded without any hesitation. The Two of them walked out with Ego flying through the Heavens. They met Numerous Silver Wolves standing in front of them. It seems that the Small Pillar of Light created by the Contract caused some disturbance within the Area.
Persia looked around the Numerous Silver Wolves and found them really small. She expected them to at least reach Luna's Jaw, but they looked like Puppies compared to Luna. Luna looked at the Numerous Silver Wolves in front of them with her Purple Amethyst Eyes and spoke with a serious tone towards the Silver Wolves. 'I swore my Loyalty to Lord Persia. I will ask you to follow me, and if you don't, you can leave the Pack.'
The Silver Wolves began talking to each other after hearing such news. Persia closed her eyelids, and it seems that it was time for her to speak. Persia slithered in front of Luna and released the Strongest Point of her Aura. She looked at the Silver Wolves with her Glowing Amber Eyes as she spoke with a calm tone.
'Follow me... I will protect you, Make you stronger, Give you a Good Life in this Realm, and I'm not even lying. There will be a time where you would need to pick who you side into. It seems that the Orks are forcing you to join them. They have killed a lot of your Packmates and wanted you Silver Wolves to be their Slaves. Despite being weak, You still fought against them. I guess that is your pride as a Silver Wolf. I will give all of you a choice... Pick it well...' Persia said as her Dominion Authority encompassed the Giant Patch of Land of the Silver Wolf Pack.
The Dominion Authority gave her Unique Abilities. The Silver Wolves within the Pack quickly felt their weakened and tired body rejuvenating. It was the sign of the Serpent's power. Despiting being different than them, The White Serpent helped them and would help them survive in this Realm. Such actions were something rare within the Realm, especially when it comes from different races interaction.
One of the Silver Wolves raised its head and walked towards Persia. The Silver Wolf then bowed towards Persia and spoke with a calm voice. 'I will pledge my Loyalty to Lord Persia.' After the first Silver Wolf, Numerous Silver Wolves followed and bowed towards Persia. They have concluded that they would serve Persia as their Lord. Persia looked at Luna, who had a shocked expression.
'Is there something wrong?' Persia asked as Luna turned her head and looked at Persia with her Purple Amethyst Eyes. She then replied to Persia's question. 'They were weakened, tired, and had numerous injuries upon their bodies. I never thought that it would disappear in an instant.' Luna didn't know what to think as Persia quickly healed their bodies without any problems.
Persia chuckled after hearing Luna's words and spoke in a calm tone. 'This is the Weakest Thing I could do, so it would be better for you to not think much about my Abilities.' Luna nodded after hearing Persia's words. Persia's Dominion Authority was overpowered and useful if Persia wanted to make a Group or a Town for herself. It was something that would help her managing and protecting her territory without any problems.
The Silver Wolves then lined up into numerous lines. They bowed towards Persia as their signification of Loyalty. It was the time where they picked their lord. It was time for them to be raised with the World Serpent behind their back. Persia stared at them with her Golden Amber Eyes and found no malicious thoughts within them. The Silver Wolves were simple creatures that would follow their previous words without any problems.
'It's time for us to start.' Persia thought as the Silver Wolves closed their eyelids. Luna watched from afar while Ego watched the Heavens around them. Persia then activated her Dominion Authority and began the Contract Spell once again. She looked at them and quickly found their numbers. There were approximately 100 Silver Wolves within the Pack. They would take a lot of her energy, but it would be worth it.
A Silver White Spell Circle slowly formed on the Ground below the Silver Wolves. They didn't move a single stepped despite a Strange Aura pressuring them and helping them. They will follow their Lord's orders and would follow them with their utmost power. The Silver White Spell Circled was complete as they spoke at the same time. 'Our Lives and Loyalty will be in the hands of the Serpent...'
A Giant Pillar of Light stronger than the last one pierces the Heavens once again. It created a shock wave that bent some trees and created waves within the Calm Lakes. A Thunderous Sound followed the Shockwave. *BOOM!!!* It was the sign of Persia's First Army waking up.. It was time for Persia to stand upon the Realm and let them know of her Existence.
