Via

My name is Via, and I am the lone heiress of the Skoll tribe. At an early age, my father has been mentoring me as the Skoll tribe's next ruler.

I have always strived hard, worked 10x harder than any other member of the tribe. He has such a high expectation, and I know that it is near impossible to reach what he wants me to be.

"Via!" Father shouted

"Stop slacking and go back to training! You need to master the lupus transformation!" his angry voice echoed throughout the entire valley.

He has no mercy. We have been training non-stop for 10 days now, and I know any moment, my body will give up soon.

"Fa...ther..." While trying to catch my breath, I said, "Can we... take... a... short... break???" I continued to speak. My sight is starting to dim. Trying to catch my breath and gripping onto the reality as not to lose consciousness.

He did not make a sound. I tried to walk towards him, but my body has already given up. I am already too tired from the training, and I can not take another step. Everything started to fade into darkness, and I can feel every once of my life draining away from my body.

I woke up after Lord Odin knows how long. I am still in the same place where I lost my consciousness. Looking around and there I find my lone guardian.

"How long was I out?" I spoke to get her attention. She is just there sitting, staring at the horizon.

She looked at me and quickly stood up. "Forgive me, my lady..." while tapping her behind, dusting the dirt away.

"It is ok... just answer me, Aloisa..." I said once again.

"You have been out for a week now, my Lady..." She answered me once again while bowing her head.

"Oh... so... you are finally awake..." A familiar and annoying voice said. I looked in the direction, and low and behold, the most annoying face on the entire planet.

"What are you doing here, Vecta!" I said to him with an annoyed voice. His lupus Magus Tailing behind him. Just like his master, he is as ugly as he can be. Dark purple hue that almost like a shadow and missing nearly the left half of his face from the fierce ritual battle.

"Oh, come on... I am only concerned about my soon to be Queen, that is why I am here... aren't you happy to see me, my LOVE?" he came close and grabbed me by the chin to look at him. His thin eyes almost always closed with pale white skin and a skinny body as if he never tasted any food for a year.

"Stop touching me!" I swatted his hand away. "My father may have announced my Bethrotal to you but do remember I am still a princess, and you are still a common Paragon. Oh... let me rephrase that... an almost HOLLOWED PARAGON..." I smirked as I watch his smile fade and turn into anger.

"You B**ch!" he was about to slap me when Aloisa grabbed and twisted his arm to subdue him.

I knelt down to his face while being pinned down by Aloisa while his Lupus Magnus is also preoccupied with Meilla. I mustered my finger with the sun claw out, and inch by inch, I played with it on his face. The blistering heat made him drop beads of sweat. "Try to touch me one more time, and I will burn your skin you alive one finger at a time," I said, then touched his already scarred face.

"EEEYAH!!!!!" He screamed his lungs out. I can hear the sizzling sound like a hot metal on cold water. "This is your final warning... Touch me again, and I will melt your face." I whispered in his ear and started to walk away. I signed at Aloisa to release and leave him be he won't follow us anytime soon. He knows me better than anyone, and when I said it, I mean it.

"That was nice..." Solana spoke through our link, "Next time, let me do it..." She continued to say. She is kind of a hothead, and she knew how much I hated him.

"Welcome back, my lady..." everyone was kneeling while saying this phrase as I walk past them, paying no attention, and proceeded to walk straight to the graveyard of the kings.

"Your highness! The experiment is going as strong as expected. If it continues to yield such a result, we will be able to have a super Lambda army as you requested." one of newly appointed .sub-Iota

"What kind of experiment are you talking about!" I shouted.

Father, sitting bored on his throne, lifted his head, and looked at me straight in the eye. "wow, you are still alive... you are indeed my daughter!" He said.

"Answer me, or else!" I commanded him, but between my father or me. He is definitely scared of him than me. I looked at him and kicked him on his side with all my might.

"You insolent fool!" My father shouted.

I mustered my hand to show him the transformation.

This is the only transformation level that I can handle now, but showing it to him might entertain him a bit.

A sudden rush of heat started to flow into my hand, and it began to take shape into a firey claw. I looked at my father one more time, smirked at him, then looked at the lowlife cowering and shivering.

"P...Please! S...Spare me! I am... So...rry!!!" He pleaded, but it all fell on deaf ears.

"I'm sorry, and thank you for your service..." I slashed my hand, and just like a hot knife on butter, his body was sliced clean into five firey pieces.

Father stood up and gave a slow clap. "Now that is what I want to see!" He said while slowly walking towards me.

"Now, father, do you want to tell me about the experiment?" I said.

"Ohhh... feisty little brat, aren't you!" He said.

"Are you really that eager to know? why tell you when I can show you!" He said, and started to walk away. I looked in his direction, and there he was, giving the order to a guard to clean up the mess. The guard just bowed his head and rapidly walked towards the sliced slab of meat scattered on the side.

"AWOOOO!!!" I hear a lupus cry. That must be his lupus crying as his spirit starts to slip into oblivion for losing his bond and anchor to this realm.
