Chapter 1
I met a gypsy,
Her hair shining silver,
Her eyes haunting blue.
She said , "Listen little dove,
I'll tell you the story of Sol and Luna.
About their cursed love.
Miles away from each other,
Sharing the same skies,
Each day he drowns himself,
So she never dies.
She loves his alluring shine,
He loves her ethereal glow,
They saw each other on summer mornings,
When the days were slow.
So the legend was immortalized,
By the lady with haunting eyes.
Pouring her soul into the fable,
Leaving me hypnotized.
Fate wasn't cruel to them,
He granted them a wish,
Once every year they will meet,
To create their own bliss.
On that fateful day,
They grace the skies,
Their union so beautiful,
None can glare at it with naked eyes.
Her eyes haunting blue,
Longing in her eyes,
Smile gracing her lips.
She looked at the sun,
"Wait is over Sol,
Tomorrow is the Eclipse...
"Wow!" She thought as she read the poem on the first page of the book. A book she had found lying around in her college hallway. Irresponsible people who don't take care of their books were one of her pet peeves. She was going to return it to the library when she noticed it didn't have the college library stamp on it.
Well now it was hers. She wasn't going to throw away a perfectly leather bound book which smelled like heaven away. It was clearly a old book and someone had lost it. But she was tempted to read it. Like mean no harm ever came from reading a book right?.
She was never the type to steal something but something about this book called out to her. Technically every book called out to her but there was something different about this book. It was like something about the book was pulling her towards it. Maybe it was the leather bound cover. Yeah, it was definitely the leather bound cover, she decided. And anyways she was only rescuing the book and keeping it safe for the time being, she would return it if the owner asked for it, it was like safe keeping or borrowing, only she was hoping no one would come looking for the book. As she never liked to part with them.
Entering her apartment she closed the door behind her and quickly made herself comfortable on her bed. She was really eager to complete the book. She turned the page and it was a tale not a poem as she had expected. It told her the story of a King more specifically A Lycan King. Aaah ... She loved such fantasies and mythical stories. She found them very intriguing and captivating.
.......He was born on the night of The Eclipse. Luna and Sol were very proud of their Son. They thought he was the most beautiful child ever born. His eyes being the most captivating feature of his face.One of his eyes was a striking golden color while the other was glowing blue which had a silver flecks around the iris. He inherited his mother's hair.He was a beautiful child. It broke their heart to part with their beautiful baby boy. His chubby little fingers were curled around Luna's forefinger, his eyes staring into hers. Stifling a sob she held him, never wanting to let go of her baby boy. But it had to be done. "This is a curse" she thought. A curse she can't break free from. She was destined to love from afar. Never close just watching and always longing.
Sol kissed his son on his forehead, gently brushed his plum cheeks with his finger. He nodded his head at Luna. It was time.
Luna transformed herself into a alluring silver wolf as she descended near the castle. With the Baby's basket hanging from her mouth she gracefully walked towards the majestic gates of The Belaxarim Castle. The guards were rendered unconscious as she walked past them.
She walked into the palace she with authority and grace, to meet The King and Queen. She knew they were childless. They desperately needed a heir. So it was her choice to place her boy in their care. They were the King and The Queen of the Werewolf kingdom. They worshipped her and prayed for an heir and children. With no heir to carry forward their lineage they were craving for a child. Her boy would be under perfect care with them, they were two kind, loving and compassionate souls. As rulers of the Werewolf Empire they would give him what he needed and he would live like a king and fulfill the purpose he was chosen for. The purpose of ruling all the werewolves. He was born to rule after all.
The King and Queen were gratified that their goddess had listened to their prayers. They bowed their head in submission to Luna and thanked her continuously for bestowing them with such an honour. Seeing their humility Luna was pleased, she blessed them with immortality and fertility. She promised them that each of their children would be blessed by Sol and herself, their pups would also be considered her own children. They would be more powerful and strong than werewolf in the whole empire. They would be so much more than just werewolves. They protected by her and her beloved.
The Alpha King threw a giant feast in the light of their Son's arrival. The arrival of The Prince was celebrated by every were in the empire. Everyone came from different parts of the empire to catch a glimpse of The Prince. This was start of and era. Every Were could feel it in their veins. The King and the Queen showered their utmost love on the gifted child. He was their blessing. He was the answer to their prayers and tears.
The child grew up to become The Lycan King. His name was Delmi...."
She was snapped out of her mythical world by the sound of harsh slam of her dorm room. Her roommate/best friend entered the room with a deep frown on her face, she looked mad and sad at the same time. There were tears in her eyes. Without even sparing her a look her roommate directly stormed into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her as she got in startling her confused roommate.
She really wanted to ask what was wrong with her best friend but she also was quite upset that the link to the story was broken. Sighing she picked up a bookmark from her bedside table and marking the page she was currently on, she closed the book and placed it carefully under her pillow. She was planning on reading it when she was alone. Her best friend was her first priority right now.
