Chapter 41: The Elysian Elders

Aramoor City, the main capital of Oprea, is the most populous modern city in Terra.

The city was home for Terrans and mythical creatures alike, living peacefully together. The tall buildings were located in the heart of the city, towering and boasting towards the sky.

By daytime, the city's busy streets were full of Terrans and different creatures walking side by side. Aside from its modern technology, the city was surrounded by trees, nature parks, and botanical gardens. The Elysian Elders ordered all the creatures to maintain a green and nature-friendly environment to symbolize respect to the Goddess Terra.

By nighttime, the dazzling part of the city glows as the buildings and houses turn their lights in every color. The lights flicker as the starry sky guided and blessed by the moon's light sweeps over the city.

In the center of the busiest part of Aramoor City, the most prominent structure in Terra was the Levaerun. Gloriously standing at three thousand five hundred feet with two hundred and twenty-one floors.

Levaerun was a place for all the clan leaders, an organization called Sancta Elysium. The Elysian Elders were representatives of each creature living in Terra. They were either chosen or voted by their kind.

The elders consist of the Terran representative, a man named Alistair Cohen, who the Terrans recently elected. The immortal one from the Vampire Clan, Darius the third. The shapeshifter from the Werewolf Clan is represented by Zion's great grandfather, Theodore Verlice.

The demon prince, Sura, represents the Demon Clan. He was the first mythical creature who appeared and was seen in Aramoor City in the year 2020. The Fae Clan, represented by a nymph named Halia. The witches, represented by the High Priestess, Ophelia.

The Atlantean, or the creature of the sea, is represented by its Queen, Nerida, while the Elven Clan or the elves, represented by Rychell, the Elven King. The Nain Clan or the dwarves, led by the Dwarf Lord Ludoc.

And last, the Night Howlers of Mirrikh, a clan with different creatures living together in one territory. They call themselves the free beings, led by two hybrids, Cyran and Isei.

Amaris sighed. She felt a throbbing pain in her head after reading the information about the Elysian Elders. Two nights ago, Alpha Mallec from the Crimson Pack arrived to give them an invitation from the elders of Terra.

They were scheduled to meet them after the next full moon. Her aunt, Athanasia, asked her to know the names of the Elysian Elders so she wouldn't embarrass herself. Zion, the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, was feared and respected by all creatures living in Terra, so everyone expected that his Luna was an extraordinary being.

"Why do I have to pretend that I am unique? Are they expecting that his Luna could breathe fire or has laser eyes?" She ranted.

Maxine and Zoila giggled. Athanasia glared at them then turned her gaze to Amaris.

"Power, my dear. Zion was like the representative of the Gods to them. It's only natural they wanted a powerful Luna for him. Remember, he didn't have a mate for one hundred years, so the news of him finding his long-lost love traveled all over Terra. It was quite a shock to them. Most of the elders offered their daughters to him, but he rejected them. They wanted to see what kind of woman captivated the Alpha's heart." Athanasia explained.

She curled her lips, biting them to stop herself from smiling. Hearing that Zion rejected a lot of women made her heart flutter.

"It says here that the Terran representative is Alistair Cohen. He's your mate, right? The one who was sent to the Werewolf Clan to talk to Zion." Maxine interrupted.

Athanasia nodded and continued.

"Yes. His kind recently chose him. That man left me for a week and would just come home every weekend to do his work in Levaerun. I want to strangle him." Athanasia said, pissed.

The three girls laughed, seeing the Demon Princess's eyes turned red from being mad with her mate.

"The Demon Prince Sura is also your brother. Does that mean he's my uncle?" Amaris asked curiously.

"Yes. He's the first mythical creature who made himself seen by the Terrans. He's stubborn and has anger issues. He's different from my other brothers." Athanasia answered.

Amaris frowned. "Why is he different?"

Athanasia sighed and started telling them about Sura.

"Sura was initially a flesh-eating demon. But he only eats humans to appease his hunger. One of the laws of the underworld was not to eat human flesh. He was born like that, and I don't know the reason until now. My mother, the Queen, asked for help from Orcus, the Demon God. He granted Sura a gift and became a soul-eating demon instead. He was the only demon allowed to consume the human soul."

"How about now? Is he still eating souls?" Zoila asked.

"Yes. Though, he only takes human souls who are going to hell. He changed and could control his hunger longer now by sucking his mate's blood." Athanasia continued.

"He has a mate? A Terran?" Maxine asked.

Athanasia nodded. "Yes. The only Terran whose soul he cannot consume."

The three girls frowned as they waited for Athanasia's story.

"That girl's soul was missing. She was like a shell, as your body now, Amaris. Her anima was either lost somewhere or taken by someone."

Amaris' eyes widened. "But how could she be alive if her anima was missing? Can we see her? I want to see her. Maybe I could get some answers from them."

Athanasia looked at her. She had a serious expression on her face.

"Sura would never allow you to see her."

"Maybe if he hears my story, he will at least allow me to see her. I am his niece, so maybe he could make an exception." Amaris insisted.

Athanasia sighed. "You can try. I will not be with you when you meet the elders. You can ask Ophelia to introduce you to Sura."

Amaris smiled and suddenly hugged her aunt. A Terran gesture, Athanasia thought.

'Selene, how could she be the answer? She was so innocent.'
