Chapter TITUS

45

"Argh!" I shouted in pain as the evil trapped inside my body began to become stronger as the day went by. I don't know how long I will be able to hold on to this. "Alpha!" Scott ran towards me. "Should we call the elder again? It seems like the potion isn't working anymore," he said worriedly. "No need. I can still manage," I said, stopping him as I tried to catch my breath. Though it was utterly painful. I'm already getting used to it. There's not much that we can do aside from getting through this pain until it goes away. I've been doing this for centuries, so this time wasn't much of a a difference. Scott was hesitant to follow my order, but he had no other choice. A few minutes passed when one of the palace aides arrived and whispered something to Scott. "The seer?" he uttered.

"What is it, Scott?" I asked him.

"The seer, Alpha. It seems like he has seen a new vision, he explained. "And it has something to do with the leviathan locked inside you."

"Go on, let him in," I replied. I forced myself to get up from my bed. Scott helped me to stand up. I will not let my adherents see me in that pitiful state.

Scott helped me into my royal robe; his hands were steady and efficient. Once I was decent, he signaled the other man to open the door and let the seer in.

"Your Majesty," the se seer greeted, his face mostly hidden beneath his usual robe.

"What is it?" I asked, sensing the urgency in his demeanor.

"A part of t of the prophecy has been revealed, Your Majesty. And it seems there is still hope."

"Continue," I I ordered, my curiosity piqued.

"A woman with a red wolf is destined to kill the leviathan inside you, Your Majesty. She is the only one who can eliminate evil without sacrificing your life. With the help of a blade blessed by the moon goddess, the evil will be vanquished before it can walk the earth," he explained. "The vision arrived just as your body is growing weaker by the day. This can only mean one thing," he said, pausing for effect. "The red wolf has manifested as well."

His words hung in the air, heavy with implication. The prophecy, long a source of both dread and hope, was finally beginning to unfold. I felt a mixture of relief and apprehension. "Who is this woman?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure. "And where can we find her?"
