Chapter 45 - Search (1/2)

The group of serpentines absentmindedly nodded their heads, their thoughts occupied with the future prospects of their race. One generation's serpentines and queen were wiped out, weakening their strength.

Now another queen followed. If the rest of the clan found out about such events, it would decrease their morale, destroy their hope, and shatter their faith.

”Elders, there is a werewolf pack outside the abode requesting an audience!”

The unexpected declaration had all the serpentine elders looking at one another in confusion.

”A werewolf pack requesting an audience with serpentines?” The brown elder abruptly stood as she cried in shock.

”A werewolf pack at our snake abode?” With wide disbelieving eyes, the gray elder turned to the serpentine bringing the news.

Immediately, there was an upheaval among the elders as they heard the impossible matter taking place.

”Yes, elder. The pack is requesting a meeting with the elders and queen.” The pink serpentine nervously replied as all the gazes of the elder serpentines gathered on her.

”What could the werewolves be here for?”

”I do not think that we have ever received a visit from the werewolves before, have we?”

”What are you saying? Even though our clans both belong to the six supreme clans with obvious advantages and disadvantages, when have any of the clans visited one another?”

”We have never visited each other before, so why are they here now?”

”I heard that Versailles formed a mate-bond with the werewolf king. But why are they here?”

The cacophony of serpentines talking over each other resounded in the cave, rising tension and anxiety over the already anxious group.

”Enough! If the Werewolf clan is here to visit, there must be an important reason. Now, quiet down and behave like the pillars of the clan you are meant to be.” The white serpentine looked disapprovingly at the raucous serpentines, her head throbbing as she thought of the future.

Somehow, watching the pack of worrisome serpentines, she could see nothing but bleakness in the serpent's future. Straightening, she slithered out of the snake cave, heading out of the snake abode to the surface of the Floating Flaming Island.

Ramose stood with a pack of werewolves as he anxiously paced back and forth on the floating island.

He was separated from his mate.

At the stadium on the Eternal Mountains, Versailles whispered to him that she wanted to go to the Eternal Flaming Sea with him before entering the Underworld Palace together.

The Eternal Flaming Sea was the only ritual creatures in the Nar realm performed when they vowed to be together for a lifetime. Taking the eternal sea as a witness, they promised to one another to always be together and support each other no matter what happened in the future.

However, before they could even reach the Eternal Flaming Sea, they were separated. And he did not even know how he got separated from his mate.

Not only that, their bond-mate connection seemed to have disappeared as he could neither sense her nor feel her presence in the realm. Even after dashing back to the Eternal Mountains and scouting the area, he could not find a single trace of her.
