I unleashed my shadows and slashed him at every possible place in his body in perfect rhythm with M.

The arm that I had cut off earlier had regenerated, much to my annoyance so I'll just chop off some more.

M continuously struck lightning after lightning yet it only slowed him down for a few seconds, even after that I struggled to keep up with his frightening speed.

It was annoying because I could only follow his movements with my eyes, thanks to Uncle Ol's magic genes but my body wasn't as fast as the speed of light like Cael.

Maze faired better than I did because her speed was of lightning and I was quick too considering my element was darkness like his-but he was a god, whereas I was a mere Omonen.

We exchanged deadly blow after blow and he kept gaining on us but at least we were successfully distracting him.

I saw Cael muttering under his breath from my peripheral vision and hope blossomed within me until I saw Alastair snapped his neck towards Cael with a growl.

Ah fuck, he noticed after all.

I locked eyes with Mazikeen and knew it was time.

I let go of my physical form and she let go of hers and we became one.

We shared one thought, and one goal.

We had to stop Alastair.

United as one we charged at Alastair, a mix of shadow and lightning. My shadows cut him in every possible place whereas M's lightning burned those wounds, significantly slowing down his healing.

Both of us saw him charging up to unleash the earlier power and looked towards Cael in a panic.

He too was charging up now, raw golden power buzzed around him.

Just as I looked back towards Alastair he unleashed his vicious darkness, causing me and M to go back to our physical forms.

I screamed as I saw him plunge his sword straight into her heart and not even a second later the sword was swung towards me.

I once again saw it come in slow motion torturously moving towards me, and I could do nothing but watch as my body froze with shock and despair and did not move an inch. Not like it could anyways.

Tears streamed down my face as I looked at M, her entire body battered and broken, much worse than before.

She looked up at me and smiled a sad smile. The saddest smile I had ever seen on her.

She was always the happiest and the most optimistic. Even when she suffered in silence, she made sure none of it was visible to others and instead tried her best to make others happy, because she knew what it was like to be in pain.

She never asked for anything in return and endlessly gave her light and happiness to others.

Cael too was like a big brother to us, even though we were born at the same time. Somehow we recognized each other as elder and younger. It was cute.

As a big brother he made sure we did well in everything and lead us with his intelligent mind and tactical plans.

It was an unspoken rule that Cael would be our leader in battle, always.

He guided us and showed us light yet I knew he too suffered with many burdens.

We all suffered the same but the difference was that I didn't bother to hide it, I was cold and harsh towards people giving them something to fear unless they knew me like my M and Cael did.

I screamed in agony as the sword sliced my neck diagonally from the top of my left neck to my right collarbone.

It could have cut off my entire neck but at the last second my body finally moved away.

Yet the damage was done.

Time went back to normal and I heard Cael scream, "NOOO!!"

I hit the ground with a thud and looked towards Cael, who was just as massive as Alastair now that he was fully powered....and angry.

I sighed as I saw a gold-colored tear slip down his face.

He was crying blood now? Really?

"Cael...yo..you really nee..need to make things ugly by crying literal tears of blood? We kne......knew this was going to happen. Now do what you....you must and save them all...." I muttered weakly into the mind-link.

The bond from M's side weakened further and barely held on, causing me to painfully move my head to where she was.

Her hand reached out towards me, the glow in her silver eyes seemed to get duller and duller as each second passed.

I suddenly started coughing up black blood.

It was funny how even our blood was different colored, mine black, M's silver and Cael's golden.

It proved we weren't normal supernaturals, not even close but we had to protect those that were.

I gasped and tried to breathe but I knew it was futile.

I felt Cael's sorrowful emotions and joked, "At least choking on my blood and dying is going to be fa..faster than bleeding to death."

My gaze went down in surprise as I felt a light touch on my left hand.

It was M.

The choking stopped as my inner throat, which hadn't been harmed by the sword healed slightly and I relaxed and left my head fall back.

Well, there goes my choking to death chance.

I moved my hand further and clutched hers tightly and tried my best not to cry as I felt her bond disappear.

Darkness surrounded my vision and I looked towards Cael one last time to see him charge towards Alastair causing me to smile a painful smile.

Get him brother....

Darkness took over completely as I let out my last breath.

*+=*+=*

I sat up with a loud gasp and looked around in a panic, expecting to see the dark and gloomy battleground, but sighed with relief as I realized that those were just my memories.

Now I know why I felt so strongly for Mia...no Mazikeen.

I looked up towards her and my breath caught in my throat as I looked her over.

Her golden-brown hair was now half white and she seemed....a bit taller?

Realization dawned on me that she was changing back to her former self.

I looked down and saw I had gained a few inches too while going through my memories.

Panic seized me and I looked in my mind for Elena.

I wasn't a werewolf and never had a wolf before but now Elena-

"Oh Sha- I mean Amaris, don't worry about that. Vampires too have their true sires within them, similar to a wolf but they don't transform into anything and cannot actively communicate with each other, it's just their more animalistic side. And this time I'll be yours, except with active communication. Just as the full transformation happens you'll lose the ability to shift into a werewolf and become a true Omonen." She said with a calm voice.

"I'm assuming I have Mom to thank for that?" I asked with a light chuckle.

Her voice got a bit raspy and more humanoid as she said, "Yes." with a slight chuckle.

Ah, so the true sires sound human too huh? It would take a while to get used to Elena sounding so human-like, I thought with a slight chuckle.

She laughed, "Yeah yeah whatever. The transformation's going to happen so be prepared." and then added, "Oh and don't let go of the shadows until your transformation is complete."

My brows furrowed in confusion but I nodded nevertheless.

Mazikeen's POV

I opened my eyes in a panic and instinctively looked to my right in search of Amaris but only saw Rowena looking at me with worry in her eyes.

I sighed and looked at my arms to see silver coursing through them, driving away the black.

"Alastair awoke your dormant dark powers that were buried deep inside since mom's magical genes are dominant. But-" she growled and glared at Alastair's twitching body that was starting to awaken, "he toyed with your soul and tried to awaken Aunt Nyx's magical genes."

I snapped my head towards him and stood up angrily, the things he had done going through my mind.

"Wait Maze, as much as I want to rip him to shreds, that isn't his true form, it's just a part of his tattered soul. I have no idea what it's doing here but-" she looked at me worriedly, "You are going to transform soon, leave him to me and go back to the real world. You can't be in here when transfor-"

I groaned as sudden pain traveled across my body.

"Just picture the real world while using your element and you'll awaken."

With that, I screamed as unimaginable pain overwhelmed me.

I looked back towards her, wanting to finish that bastard off myself but with another wave of pain crashing over my body I groaned and summoned whatever was left of my magic and attacked the surrounding darkness.

I closed my eyes at the sudden increase in light and opened them in the real world.

Not having enough time to process my surroundings, I closed my eyes once again as it felt like my entire body was being ripped apart, and technically it was.

I heard bones snapping and muscle shifting as my new body formed in the shape of my soul.

I screamed once again as my skin tore in places that were never torn, even when I was tortured.

In my mind, I saw strings forming, bonds that were severed due to my death formed again as different parts of my soul awoke for the first and in this lifetime.

As the pain disappeared slowly, I involuntarily unleashed raw power and pure bliss took its place as my true self and soul finally returned to my true body.

I felt the evil presence vanish from my mind, along with that I saw Amaris' black yet starry string of bond and Cael's pure golden yet duller than it should've been bond, along with that Rowena's pure silver bond that glowed brightly, followed by my godly family's bond that pulsed happily indicating their happiness at my return.

Sadly I couldn't communicate or feel their emotions any further as the block was placed by the three fates.

It was forbidden to even attempt communication as they were gods and goddesses that could hinder my fate.

My true Omonen strength returned and all my earlier scars and pain began healing, I stopped it immediately.

The scars I bore should stay with me. They showed what I had survived in my past life along with my werewolf years. I would show them off proudly as it meant that whatever could have killed me failed to do so.

I hissed slightly as the scars from my last battle returned.

I sensed a painfully familiar presence and snapped my eyes open in shock.

There in front of me was my beloved little sister Amaris.

She stared back at me with her beautiful glowing green eyes that shone with tears and pride.

I jumped and landed perfectly, flying at her, and wrapped my arms around her and we both sobbed as we found each other once again surrounded by our warmth.

"I missed you so.....so much," she whispered causing more tears to fall at hearing her familiar voice.

"I missed you too," I cried while wrapping my arms more tightly around her.

Even if we became aware of our past life just now, our souls far away from each other had wandered this plane in search of our reincarnated body for centuries.

We stayed in each other's embrace for as long we could, cherishing this moment.

"Can't.....breathe," choked out Amaris after a while making me instantly pull away.

I grinned at her sheepishly, "Well, don't blame me, I reunited with my beloved sister after...." I paused, calculating for a second, "700 years."

Both of us gasped slightly at the shocking news.

"It has been that long?" we both whispered in unison causing us to burst out laughing.

"Good to know our minds still share that one brain cell," I said sarcastically.

"My my, Maze, I didn't know you had it in you to be so sarcastic."

"What can I say, a lot happened to me as a werewolf." I looked down, my mood souring as one of my tortures passed through my mind fleetingly.

Hearing a sigh I looked back up, "I agree, being a werewolf wasn't fun, the fates outdid themselves this time." she said sarcastically while rolling her eyes.

I shook my head slightly and looked around in surprise, Ari's shadows swirled about protectively around us both in a cocoon.

My eyes widened in shock as I realized that they reminded me of Shadow and that she was Amaris.
