Chapter 9
Truth of Raven
Deep in the Tower of Ancients, stood four great statues of the four corners of the world. A dark figure stood in the center of it, standing before the unconscious Raven. Suddenly, a dark portal appeared behind them as Seth emerged from it; blood pouring from him wounds.
"Seems you did something right for once." said the mysterious figure.
Seth looked down at the floor as black flames engulfed his body, revealing his true form. A figure covered in pure white armor, half human and half creature. As the knight took off his helmet, his face was of a pure white wolf with eyes of silver.
"My Lady, it seems Raven is the final key to the Door of Awakening." he said.
The figure turned around as she slowly took off her mask, her eyes of white met his;
"It is foretold that the Goddess will awaken in one of the Children of Terra when the door is opened, but I must thank you for retrieving my dear little sister when I broke the second lock on the door, Arianna." she replied.
Arianna began walking to Raven as his eyes stared at his body, he then turned towards the female figure kneeling down.
"Rose, is this right to use your sisters to open the Doorway?" he asked.
Rose's face grew pale as she looked away from her Guardian,
"The creatures of this land has used my sisters for far too long, if Set is right. I'll use them to break open the door and free my sisters of their fate forever." she replied.
Rose walked right beside Raven as she kneeled and placed her hand on his face,
"But to do that, I must awaken Raven for what he truly is to become." she said softly.
Raven's pendant began to sparkle before them, droplets of water poured from it as it encircled into an orb before them. Many images appeared in the orb as it slowly began to settle into the images of Zen and Sen talking to Rebecca and Inuko.
"That night when mother sealed Raven's true powers away, it seems its trying to return to her after all these generations..." she said grinning.
Meanwhile, Zen and Sen stood before the Tower of Anubis as Serios came walking down the stairs while Inuko and Rebecca followed behind him. Sen looked up into the sky as the sun slowly shined through the clouds.
"Hey Zennie chan, do you think mommy will be happy to see we are all grown up?" she asked.
Zen looked to her sister as she grinned,
"She will be surprised, but I wonder if mommy is old and wrinkly." Zen replied.
Sen turned towards Zen as she placed her hand on her chin,
"I don't think mommy can age, Zennie chan." Sen said.
Serios turned toward the girls, as memories of them fighting as children came to mind,
"It seems you two have grown into fine young ladies, soon you will have no need of this old wolf." he said.
Sen and Zen turned to Serios with sadness in their eyes,
"We would always need our strong wolfy no matter how old we get." they said.
The girls ran to Serios and hugged him tightly, as they both kissed his muzzle. Suddenly, at the tip of the Tower; the crystal began to glow brilliantly. Symbols began to appear all over Serios' body as they glowed with the same light from the crystal. Anubis appeared before them as he grinned.
"It seems I need to release the seals that I placed on you Serios when you first came to my temple, it will help you in your journey ahead of you." he spoke.
Sen and Zen walked back from Serios as he transformed before their eyes. He grew bigger and taller than before, his body was covered in gray armor. Zen and Sen's eyes opened wide as Serios was in his true form before them.
"WOW IS THAT WOLFY?!" Zen yelled.
The girls ran towards him as they jumped on him hugging him deeply. Serios turned to them grinning, as he placed his head against their bodies. Sen and Zen then climbed on his back and scratched behind his ears. Serios laid on the floor as the girls were laughing. Anubis began to laugh as he walked into the temple slowly fading away.
"Thank you Anubis..."Serios said softly.
