Chapter Thirteen
Snap!!
Jayden quickly closed the book at the screaming at Frankenstein before holding it to her chest. The blonde man held his ears as did the others. Jayden's breath was heavy from having to quickly close the book before their ears started to bleed from the screaming. The book was red leather that had a tribal Banshee branded on the cover.
"What the hell was that," Rael yelled while rubbing his ears. The others looked at her with hurt, shocked, and irritated eyes making her chuckle nervously.
"It's not called the Book of The Bachee's for nothing," The brunette chuckled sheepishly while holding the book to her chest while the others gave her the 'really' face. She grinned at them before shoving the book in a random place on a shelf before walking away. "No more opening random books."
They all nodded while following after her except Takeo he was looking an old book about the history of guns.
"Takeo," Jayden's yell from down the row of books making him fumble with the book before putting it down. He whipped around and saw the group away's away.
"Shit," He groaned before bolting towards them trying to catch up before he lost them in the maze of books the brunette was trying to lead them through. "Hey wait up!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I placed all the books on a round table near a roaring fireplace. The others sat in plush seats around the table as I finished setting books down. I sighed before plopping down in a chair between Frankenstein and Rai making Deja Voo fluid through my body.
"Okay let's begin," I opened a book that had the title 'Dynasties of the Titans' printed on the front cover. The pages were a bit yellow from age and worn from me constantly reading from it. It was bound in dark brown leather binding with gold stamping on the sides.
I carefully open the book and flipped through the pages till I came to the chapter I was looking for. The Chapter I first started learning on when I was a predecessor for my father the previous Snake.
"Shall we begin," I grinned at the awaiting males and single female sitting around the table. I crossed my ankle while kicking my feet up on the table and leaning back in my chair. They all nodded making me smirk.
"Then let's start."

{Dynasties and Their Factions}
There are five living dynasties belonging to the council, which reside in Arcadia. These dynasties are the strongest of the five factions; The Hunters, The Assassins, The Knights, The Army, and The Peacekeepers. Each leader commands one of the faction militaries.
The leaders are named after five of the strongest and noble animals of the wild; The Tiger, The Wolf, The Owl, The Elk, and The Snake. All power of the Dynasties resides in their markings of the animals. These symbols are pass down through families and can't stray from the dynasties bloodline. The crossing of dynasties is forbidden for powers get ethers lost or power consumes the material form of the holder of two signs killing that at birth.
Each member has their own weapon bond to their powers, it's the natural state their soul takes once the Dynasties call it to their aid. The strong the soul, the more powerful the weapon. The factions led by the Dynasties have similar weapons but aren't as powerful because the markings on the leader's body produce more power and amplify the possessor's current power.
The markings power comes from ancient beings called Titans. The power of the Titans passes down through these five bloodlines because they are the beings related to one of the five Titans. The factions get their power from potions and spells that were placed on their human ancestors by the Titans.
{The Titans}
There are Five male Titans that have living descendants. These Titans lived in Olympus and on Earth to protect the beings living on the planet from danger. They were torn out of Olympus when the Nobles came into more power than them. The nobles were worshiped by the humans more than the Titans were making them fade into his history. As time passed they became legends and myths, nothing more than bedtime stories to young children.
These Titans still did what they could to help humans but most were scared of them. So at the start of the end of their lives, they made the markings that the Dynasties posses. Each chose a different animal to represent them and their power.
So when the end of their lives started to come in, they each took human form for a single day, using up the last of their lives, and each made a child with a willing woman of the earth. They also picked chosen ones to have synthetic powers of their own for their descendants.
The Titans died before the children were born, but once they were a stare from heaven came down and placed itself on the child. Once the star was absorbed by the newborn's soul a mark was created on their little body holding the power of the Titans with it.
{Weapons and powers of the Titans}
Each Titan governed different elements;
The youngest: The power of metal
The Fourth: The power of water
The Middle: The Power of wind
The Second oldest: The power of Earth
The Eldest: The power of Lightning
Every one of them has always wanted to be the strongest and the leader but only one has the power to dominate them all with a snap of their fingers, but their Dynasty was lost through time. The one that governed Lightening became the chosen leader and became the strongest. They were fiercest of the siblings making them the most feared of them all.
The five Titans forged five unique weapons, in their lifetimes, that were bound to them by power and blood. Each Titan used different materials to make these weapons so they could withstand their powers.
The youngest used the steel crafted by elves and gold from a Leprechauns Enchanted coins. They created duel black and gold pistols with special bullets that could kill anything.
The Fourth forged their weapon out of Iron from the center of Everest and cooled it in the stream that fed into the lake were they, Lady Lies. The fourth made duel throwing and fighting axes with double blades.
The Middle crafted their weapon from the Silver dipped in the blood of a werewolf with the leather made from his own skin to make six daggers.
The Second Oldest made a bow and arrow out of wood from the tree of Wisdom and made the string out of the gold fate. Their arrows were forged out of the finest Iron, Steel, and Copper to make the strongest metal imaginable, the arrows could pierce through anything.
The eldest of the Titans made his weapon out of the sacred silver from a dragon and the leather was the skin from the same dragon. The sword was cool in the blood of the beast making it the strongest sword ever created. It could change its shape at the Titans will.
{Arcadia: Home of The Myths}
Arcadia is the place between Time and Space where neither is relevant. It is a perfect place of meadows, rivers, lakes, mountains, and castles. Arcadia can only be accessed if you are a born in this world or you have one of the few keys made to open the gateway to this paradise.
Arcadia is separated into 6 sections ruled by one of the leaders.
