Chapter 436 A New Enemy (1)
(Regaleon's POV)
Last night, Alicia and the twins were taken inside the cottage when the fire died down and the enemies were definitely been wiped out. The twins slept instantly after they felt that everything was safe and Alicia was passed out after she was healed. I stayed seated on a chair beside her all night, still worried that something bad might happen to my family.
I did not know when sleep overtook me, but thr next time I opened my eyes the sun was shining outside the window. I felt a warm touch on my hand. When I looked up, I saw Alicia had that is still laying on the bed had opened her eyes, looking at ne worrily.
"You look tired." Alicia told me with worry in her voice. "How long have you been seated there? Why don't you lat down here in bed with me and rest?"
"I am fine my love." I smiled and stood up from my seat. I planted a kiss on her forehead to extinguish her worry. "I have rested enough. I need to talk to Belgor about what happened last night so I need to get up now. How are you doing?" I asked.
"I am feeling fine." Alicia replied. "Let me come with you." She tried to sit up from the bed.
"You need to rest more." I laid her back down the bed. "You were just injured last night. I might have healed the wound, but your body can feel the fatigue for sure."
Alicia contemplates for a second but she did not get up again. I am sure she can feel her body being tired.
"I wil tell you everything that Belgor and I will discuss when I get back. Just take some rest for now, okay?" I said and Alicia nodded in agreement. "The twins also need you to be by their side. I am sure they were surprised from what happene lasg night."
"Yes, you are right." Alicia sighed. "Just promise me that you will tell me what you will learn later."
"I promise." I said and kissed her forehead once again. "Rest well my love."
I stood up and exited the door. Outside the door were our guards standing guard. William was also standinng diligently.
"Have you all gotten rest?" I asked.
"We have rested enough, your majesty." William replied and the other guards nodded in agreement.
"I understand. Then please carry on your duty." I said and walked away. "I will need a report on casualties on our side later, William." I said to him.
"Certainly, your majesty." Willima replied. "I will prepare it for you later."
I nodded and walked out. The sun had risen higher than I expected. It must be almost midday now.
"I slept more than I intended." I said to myself. "I need to find Belgor and talk about those creatures last night."
I saw the aftermath of the attack last night. Majority of the houses were either wrecked or burned. There were certainty many casualties from the lycans side and from our party as well.
"I should give some aid to the lycans that live here as well." I made a mental note.
I can see the devastation that the attack brought to this lycan settlement. They will need help to rebuild once more. Thay will also need medicine for the injured.
It has been a while since I saw such devastation. After the war, we have been living in peace with only minor incidents. No one has anticipated such an attack like last night.
After looking around, I saw Belgor with some of the lycans clearing up the debris and cleaning. He saw me walking towards them.
"Regaleon." Belgor called to me. "Have you rested enough? How is your wife and children?" He asked.
"I have rested enough." I nodded. "Alicia and the twins are resting well. I cam here to ask you about the creatures that attacked us last night. I believe you have told me some information about them." I said.
"Hmm, yes." Belgor nodded. "Then let us go and talk privately. Grey, take charge here." He ordered.
"Yes father." Grey replied.
"Now come walk with me." Belgore told me. I nodded and followed hin while we walked away.
When we were alone at some distance, Belgore started to talk.
"Like I have tolf you, those creature last night were called wargs." Belgor said. "They are lycans that were corrupted and turnef into that. They cannot go back to their human form and more like a beast rather than someone with self consciousness. It has been hundreds of years since I saw one. After the darkness of the ancient times were lifted by the Almighty One, those creatures were not seen since then."
"Corrupted lycans?" I asked. "But who corrupted them and why are they coming out now?" Belgor sighed.
"It is not just the wargs that I am worrying about." Belgor told me. "There is something I felt last night. Something that I have not felt since I was a little pup."
I saw the worry in Belgor's face. It was a look that was worry mixed with somw fear. I have never imagined that Belgor, the strong alpha of the lycan race will have such a face.
"What is it Belgor?" I asked. "You can tell me."
"My father, the last alpha of the ancient time had told me of some evil that had covered this land of the west." Belgor said. "It was an ancient evil that have existed since before the time of the ancient beasts. We beasts have learned to live with the darkness. But this evil can infect those that are weak in heart. Humans and beasts alike can be corrupted by this dark evil, and those that are corrupted can never return from what they are before."
"Are you telling me that you have felt this evil last night?" I asked in curiously. "Is that evil what made those wargs?"
"I am not quite sure since it has been so long. But I thought I felt the same dark evil energy last night." Belgor relied. "Just a fragment."
"Only a fragment?" I asked.
"Like I told you, it has been so long and so I am not quite sure." Belgore replied. "Back then the dark evil energy is constant to this land. Last night it was just for the moment. But I am sure it is the same feeling."
I nodded in understanding.
"If it is something from the ancient world, then I am sure it has something to do with my son." I said. "I am sorry that your people were affected by this."
"What are you saying? We are allies now." Belgor said. "And those wargs were lycans once, my kind. I should also investigate this."
"Please tell me if you found something in your investigation. I will also do the same."
"Agreed." Belgore said and we shake hands.
