M O N G R E L? 1888 "The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation. When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed." It was the dark stormy night when black swallowed everything. There was no source of light, except the round golden moon. A gust of wind carried the flavour of smoke and blood across the village.  It wasn't like any other night for the villagers who lived in between Venetia, the sovereignty of Vampires and Elamite, the tyranny of werewolves. Each empire had their own villages and towns after the treaty of Merlin, it was the most important of the peace treaties that brought war to an end. The Treaty ended the state of war between Vampires and Werewolves. But the conflict between the two states never ended and after a long time it caused bloodshed on the land of Merlin. It was this specific piece of land which does

Upper empire region under Lord Ambrose, middle empire region by Lord Clitus, lower empire region by Lord Nicolas. To maintain peace between the three regions there existed the council that upheld justice. Amongst the three townships, the middle empire Lord named Clitus was greedy by nature. He disregarded the Venetian empire emperor and if fate prevailed, he wanted to reign over the entire Empire. Though he wasn't supported by any of the other lords, he wanted to be the absolute ruler. The council meeting

In those three months Lord Clitus planned to show the Venetian Lord Demetrius that he was smarter, even if it meant a little. "Lord, this is the information we have found. It's said that the Elamite' Emperor Ronald adopted a human newborn girl," one of Clitus' men said, giving a document to him. Looking at it Clitus smirked evilly, "How nice.... A human princess. Keep an eye on that girl, there must be something very important about the girl." In the Elamite Empire, Clitus had his human informers deployed there, as the vampires were unable to cross the boundaries of Elamite. But he had no idea about the Demetrius' messengers in his territory. When the Lords were ordered to move back to their regions, Andrew had his informants behind Lord Clitus. It was true th

M O N G R E L?The day wasn't a peaceful one for the Lord Demetrius as the faded memories of his beloved were floating right in front of him. "She is not my beloved, Andrew. Allison is dead!" Demetrius replied, looking at Arianna who was sleeping peacefully in his bed."But-" before Andrew could continue, "Her family must be searching for her, I need you to inform them that the girl is safe and will be coming to Elamite as soon as possible." Demetrius ordered. "Yes Sire." Replied Andrew without stretching the topic of his beloved as he knew the wounds weren't healed yet.At night, when Demetrius sat in the chair placed next to the window, he looked outside to see the beautiful silver lining of clouds as the flashes of light came out of the clouds. When a ripple of thunder echoed in the sky, it woke Arianna up as she always had the fear of thunderstorms.

Time flies whether you're having fun or not, whether you're living your life big or small, whether you surround yourself with fear or laughter. It's been seventeen years of Arianna's life living as the princess of Elamite, the werewolf empire. She stood in the training ground with a sword in her right hand. The basic principle of a sword fight was to deliver a fight ending blow without taking one yourself or as Arianna's trainer, Elliot put it,  "the object was to cut down your enemy".Elliot started her training when she was twelve years old as he knew that she would need the important tactics in future to win the fight against her enemies. "Focus Ana! The most important skill is timing and distance, " Elliot exclaimed looking at Arianna's stance, "Ho
