"Worlds and Dimensions"

*Xavier*

I walk towards the Command Center still a bit surprised to hear father's call, especially this late at night. As I arrive at the door, I also sense others inside and I rush to get in. I mind link to Carl to see where he is, he soon answers me that he is on his way.

My view settles into the conference room, where father is talking to uncle Alex and aunt Cara. I go into the room and hear them as I take a seat.

"So the other races agreed on a common peace, especially since there hasn't been any other attacks or events happening for a while. They think that you leaving here has something to do with it..." says uncle Alex and then pauses, looking at aunt before continuing. "The Fallen Angel's representative; Taylar, she has voiced her disagreement to that thought... so apparently she, or they, are on our side."

Father nods at me first then nods at uncle Alex. "Foolish of them, as always. They can't think of anything bigger than themselves," He sighs and looks at me. "You see why I kept you all here most of the time?"

I chuckle slightly and nod at him. "They live in their own bubble, they don't know what is best for them, or how to do anything else. They didn't see anything like we did father."

He ponders my words and nods. "You are right, son," He says then looks at my aunt and uncle. "I think that is the reason why they act so stupidly. Let me work on some things over here and call you back with new plans later on."

As if on cue, Carl gets in and bows to my father before waving to uncle and aunt. "Alpha... dad, mom."

I chuckle and get up. "Father, can I show you something?" I say and he nods at me.

"I let you talk to your son, we will be in touch..." He says as he gets up and follows me.

"Thank you Alpha," I hear them say in unison as we leave the room.

I am a bit nervous about this but it is the perfect opportunity to show dad I am serious about protecting our people. We arrive at my personal office at the Command Center. I point him a chair as I take the other and pull out some plans I had in my drawer. "I know this is a long shot, but I have been working on this since yesterday..." I pull the maps and the coordinates in a screen as I show him the printed copy with modifications. "With few modifications, we can transform this area into a more comfortable place for us all. The terrain aunt pointed out is quite big, there is a meadow in the center and we can use that area to train and practice," I say as I show him my notes, and as I see him watching carefully, I don't stop. "I think that you should call back uncle Alex and aunt Cara; you should leave them both, together with uncle Gideon and aunt Agape in charge of the lands. And to be honest, after what I heard you talking to them just a few minutes ago, I think we should consider inviting the leaders of the other races to come and join us, they will prove to be of big help if they realize how big of a threat we are all under..."

I stop, I said all I had in mind and now I just need to wait for his review of my best ideas. No one has ever been better at strategies like father has, and I hope one day I can be as good as he is.

*Caleb*

I couldn't be prouder; he thought out almost everything and still considered the new information we just heard moments ago. Xavier has proven to be a great strategist, and I know he wants to make me proud. I smile at him and I nod, watching his tension being released.

"This is a great plan, son. But tell me, how do you plan to keep the leaders of all the races in a balance here?" I ask him like I would ask myself if I were planning all of this.

I see the spark in his eyes fade and I shake my head quickly. "Hold on there, son..."

"I am sorry, father..." He starts and I get up, drawing his attention.

"I am not saying your plan is bad. I want to see how we can make it better. We need to think about balance; how are we going to keep Wind and Water in peace, and avoid Fire to burn everything? These are questions that pop in my head if we decide to invite them all."

I see his eyes focus on the map and notes again, quickly doing numbers and moves. He again proves to be thinking with his head and not his heart. I see him write down quickly a few things and then he looks up at me and nods. "I will have the solution for tomorrow."

I chuckle and shake my head. "I am sure you will, son. I am very proud of you, this is really a strong and solid plan... but I want you to go rest, as peaceful moments like these are not so often anymore. Tomorrow, you will work on your plan and by noon, I want a list of resources to move to start preparing the location. You will lead the first trip with the Angels with you."

I see his mind working on details already, he closes his notes and gets up nodding. "Yes father," He answers and is already behind me as we head out. He is the future of our pack.

*Meadow*

I brush Sol's hair and I feel her relax under my touch. This is something my mother used to do in the past, and I treasured always. She feels useless, and this makes her upset. She holds great power within her, but we can't risk her life to test it. I wish it would be easier, but in reality, it is not.

But I also sense her curiosity and anxiousness towards her mate. I remember when I felt attracted to Caleb, how confusing but exciting it was. I hope the changes that Caleb is thinking about will give them an opportunity to get to know each other more. He seems to be a good soul, and I only care for her happiness and safety.

*Solveig*

Mother is soothing, as always. Her presence has brought a lot of peace, with me as well as with my brothers. In times like these, I treasure her and what she represents to us and the pack.

I sigh as I lay down to sleep, but there is a lot troubling my mind, yet tiredness makes sleep come anyway.

I dream of shapeless darkness and vague flashes of light. That is all I see, and I can't help to feel as there is nothing anyone can do to fight it. I feel like it is a dream, but even with the slight feeling I can't manage to wake up. And the dream continues senselessly.

I feel myself sweating and my body tired, I keep fighting the darkness but I can't get rid of it. Is it a dream or is it true? I start to panic.

Then I hear him. 'Sol!'

I know it is him. 'Seth...?'

No matter where I look, all I see is darkness. A darkness that feels like a mass that is squeezing me. 'Sol...!' His voice sounds so distant, but I know is him.

I am so tired, this is really the worst nightmare I have ever have. But I can't even close my eyes, I feel they are already closed but nothing I do makes sense. The chaos is closing in.

'Sister... hear my voice...' I hear Ian and I start to cry. 'We are coming for you...' He says and I feel confused. We? Coming for me? Where am I?

It's like a nightmare that doesn't make sense and the reality mixing with it. And in that darkness I see a shape taking form, and I fight my blurry sight to focus on it. It is coming closer and closer, and I feel like I want to run. I don't know if it is something I should fear or not, but it is really closing in. Then I see better, and I cry even more. It is Lucifer who is coming to rescue me.

'Hold on to me, and don't let go...' He says, even though I don't see his lips move. And then he reaches me and I wrap my arms around him the best I can, even with numbness climbing my limbs. He starts to move, and I don't see where nor care anymore. I feel so tired, but I know I can't let him go. 'This might hurt some... but we are close...' He says as he slows down and then something pushes us.

I feel something invisible punching me, or perhaps it is squeezing me. Either way I almost loose my grip on Lucifer. I hear him grunt, and I try to focus on him, who seems to be fighting something or someone.

I feel like I can't breathe, and my body hurts everywhere. More chaos that I don't understand. 'Hold on, don't let go!' Is the last I hear from him before feeling him tense. I see a flash of light, it is blinding me. Seconds after, my eyes adjust to Amrafel, Seth's father.

His presence is a strong one; he leans to us and his hand lands on my back. 'Be strong, little one...' He whispers to my mind and I feel a rush of adrenaline run through my body. This is powerful, intense.

I feel not only renewed, but also throbbing with energy pulsing through my veins. I feel like I can conquer the world and more. Lucifer is fighting something I still can't see, Amrafel keeps a hand on my back and the other one in front of us as if stopping or holding something. I need to do something, I have to help them. With Amrafel's energy, I know I can.

And so, once more, I give in. I focus all my energy and, together with my hand on his, I close my eyes and send my essence, everything that I have, now enhanced by Amrafel, all of it, to Lucifer.

A shiver runs through my body, then I see everything. A terrifying space that surrounds us; glowing eyes, like the ones that tried to attack my brother, but they were not alone. What I couldn't see is not so obvious to my eyes; no, not my eyes, Lucifer's. He feels me now, he feels my presence in him and I feel the tension and pain in his body. His hand, which before was empty, now holds a translucent sword. In front of us, a huge morphed animal seems eager to devour us all. Everything around us is chaos; more eyes, more claws, morphed and undefined creatures that want to get to us. But something is stopping them, and I see it is Amrafel's hand emitting an ethereal shield around us. All of this, I see through Lucifer and I try not to feel scared. How did I end up here?!

I hear in me Lucifer's own voice grunt. It is my cue, and I send all myself to him. He seems to grow in size and strength. His sword shines brighter and this changes the atmosphere around us. They seem to back away slightly and then Lucifer's sword strikes to the one in front of us. A loud disembodied voice makes me shiver; we hurt it, and it loses balance.

'Let him go...' I hear Amrafel in me and I shudder, feeling something pushing me away. And I let go, feeling my body whole as before. And darkness surrounded me once more. Something resembling a portal opened, and we were heading that way. I smile, and that is all I can do before fading to nothingness and collapse.
