Prologue

2,000 years ago…
"Master!"
Just one heart-bitten word drifted in the air, silence in the void. The wind was still, and all movement halted. Her legs began to move, though she didn't remember telling them to do so, bringing her closer to him.
The sickening thud of a body landed awkwardly on the ground. Bones snapping. Blood spraying onto the ground, painted it with its crimson color.
"Master!"
No words came from his slightly parted lips, only his slow breath. The hazy indigo of his eyes seemed out of focus; as if he were looking for something he couldn't see. She felt herself kneel beside him, palms slapping the ground hard, rocks and stones creating abrasion on the softened skin.
"Master…"
The dying master turned his head right on his shoulder, looking at the young child. The girl with cat ears on her head and herjade eyes were clouded with tears. "I… I am apologize for I cannot save your kin…but there is a way…"
The child blinked, sniffling and cocked her head in confusion. "Huh? Master…"
"Call forth… the…blue moon…" The dying master rasped with a weak gasp, closing his indigo eyes. "He…will come… to stop…the war…"
"Who, Master I may ask, is he?" The child asked, wiping her tears off her softened, furry cheeks.
"…He had… no name… he is a…balance…" The master wheezed, weakly lifting his grayish blue human-like paw to the child's head. "A powerful ally, yet…a great enemy of all creatures… You must call him forth… with the call of wind… the breath of fire… the life of earth… and the pure of water…"
The master trailed off, slowly dropped his head on the ground and a long final sigh escaped from his canine-like mouth. "Good…bye… little Sekhmet…" With last air escaped his lung, he died peaceful next to the kitten child.
"Master!" Sekhmet choked as she leashed herself onto the dead master's chest, crying bitterly. "Don't go…please…"
Her sharp sense of hearing ears perked up when the soft footsteps behind her back and she snarled softly, "Leave me alone…"
"Sorry, that I cannot do that."
She turned her heard and glaring hatefully at another child through her clouded eyes with tears. "Lycan… only if you aren't leaving me alone to fight another enemies… I wouldn't be targeted by a vampire!"
"Actually, it was me who targeted you." The child grinned widely, revealing white fangs with sparkles. "All along I'm the one who killed my sire."
The child froze; a cold chilling ran up and down in her shine while she stared disbelief at the lycanthrope boy. "But…why?"
"Because I will not let him to bring all creatures together in peace." Lycan replied slowly, almost like if he was speaking to the child even young than him. "I don't seen why he spared your life when you are too weak to defend yourself."
The Were-cat child exasperated at the were-wolf child's words. "You…you…so cold-blood murderer!" She shrieked, pounding her fists on the ground and snarled angrily at Lycan. "You killed your only sire! He's your own flesh and blood!"
Lycan remained silent, narrowing his amber eyes with quiet rage at the snarling feline child. "Run…" He whispered quietly, rolling his paws into fists. "Run please, Sekhmet. Go home."
Sekhmet opened her jade eyes and stared confusedly at the werewolf. "Huh…?" All she could utter quietly to him, her voice was being carried away in the silent wind. "What…?"
"Go back to where you are live. Live to fight. Live to kill. You are a war cat of the great desert." Lycan replied monotone, looking down at her softened face. "I promise I will see you… and kill you."
"What did you mean…?" Sekhmet asked trembling fearfully under the cold stare of a betrayal and traitor. "Why you let me go?"
"…" Lycan's amber eyes glazed down into her jade eyes. "Just go before I changed my mind about killing you."
Sekhmet hesitated and gave a confused look at him before she bolted through the labyrinth in canyon desert and never looked back again.
Lycan slowly smirked as the shadow shapes of wolves approaching him in the mist behind him and he frowned. "Kill her." He hissed softly, closing his amber eyes as the wild wolves obeyed his quiet order.
The shadow wolves howled before they launched onto the labyrinth of canyon desert, snarling and snapping.
A evil smile on his face, he turned and left as the form of a wolf…
And he vanished into the white mist.
Meanwhile, young were-cat child dashed on her four legs and skidded when she saw the thorn bushes all over the desert as she gulped fearfully and looked over her shoulders, seeing the shadow wolves scurried toward her in hot speed.
Sekhmet quickly glanced back at the thorn bushes before she take a deep breath and leaped into the sea of thorn-looking bushes.
One of the shadow wolves perked his head up seeing the thorn bushes and gasped in fear before he manage to skidded until his paws near the end of the cliff. He sighed in relief and scowling darkly at the thorn bushes.
Suddenly, he felt the first bump as his deadly orange eyes widened in horror. "No! No! No!" He wailed as the second bump and then the last bumped sent him flew into the thorn bushes.
"Zhi?" One of the shadow wolves asked meekly, peeping into the sea of the thorn bushes. As a minute passed, the shadow wolf known as Zhi howled clutching his rear as he spring upward in the air. "Owwwwww!"
All the shadow wolves snickered quietly at the sight of Zhi's rear with full of black needle thorns. The tall, dark shadow wolf grinned at his brother until something caught his attention and he turned his head. "Look at it! She's heading the south!" He exclaimed, pointing at the dot on the desert heading the sunrise in the south direction.
"Ugh, Shi, shut up." Zhi grumbled, plucking the thorn needles out of his furry skin and spitting them out from his mouth. "Why should we go after her if she's going to meet her death out there. She had nowhere to go."
Shi chuckled darkly, "Yes. But she's headed Egypt. If she's alive… we will kill her."
Zhi snorted and plucked the thorn out. "Ow!" He yelped and glared at other wolf snickered at him. "Shut. Up. Chi!" He growled, spat the needle at the poor wolf's nose as the youngest canine yelped, nursing his wounded nose.
"Let's go back and inform our new master." Shi replied as the shadow wolves turned around and left the desert.
Two thousand years later
A hot, angry tears running down the tan furry, she landed on her back against the golden sand and glared up at the grinning, yet the same boy who let her go. "Lycan…"
"Sekhmet." Lycan mocked, walking slowly around the defeated cat. "What a surprise to see you again. I thought someone told me you're suppose to be dead." His sharp amber eyes glanced at the frightened shadow wolves in the white mist quickly scooted away from him.
"Draco and Dracula will kill you I swear." Sekhmet hissed venomously, flashing her jade eyes clouded with tears.
Lycan cocked his canine head and smirking sweetly at the were-cat. "Draco and his kin never bother to come to the war in between my clan and that freakin' vampire bastard's clan." He whispered quietly, looking up at the star-revealing night sky. "You should know we are created by the lord himself… Ariko."
"The Four Celestials banished him and sealed him into the forbidden prison in the underworld…" Sekhmet said softly, glaring softly at the werewolf.
Lycan smirked as he looked down at the beautiful, female fighter before him. "I know. One day he will set free by a fool and possessed him…"
"It will never happen in the future." The warrior snapped, getting up back on her feet slowly and lifted her head glaring at him. "Not if I can stop it."
The werewolf glazed his eyes into the feline's eyes as he clasped his hands behind his back and grinned down at her. "Maybe… but you will never know when in the future will revealed…"
He paused and closed his amber eyes. "Promise me… you will plead your loyalty to me and stay by my side." He said softly, opening his eyes again and smiled gently at her. "I will spare your weakling family. Be wife to me…be mate to me"
Suddenly, a loud slap echoed all over the desert as the ravens squawked loudly, flapping their wings in the night for fear the wrath of angry were-cat.
Sekhmet breathed heavily, narrowing her jade eyes as the lycanthrope's head turned to the left direction and his blue, grayish furry cheek was bleeding with three angry red scratches. "I will not being used to be your tool, Lycan…" She hissed softly, holding up her claws with dripping of blood. "I will not betray my kin, unlike you!"
Lycan inhaled and growled quietly, "You should watch your tongue, kitten." He turned around sharply knowing the feline could attack his back.
When Sekhmet was about to attack, suddenly the shadow wolf appeared and panting fearfully, widening his golden eyes.
"M-m-master! He's coming! He's going to step in the war!"
The lycanthrope leader narrowed, glanced upward and saw the blue moon appeared behind the dark blue clouds, and turned around sharply, stalking angrily toward the feline. "You!" He snarled venomously, baring his pointy fangs. "You did call him forth, didn't you?"
The feline smirked and nodded.
The lycanthrope howled in fury as he lashed out his hand and grasped the were-cat's neck, holding her up in the air. "I should have you killed when I had a chance! Only if I weren't fell in love with the disgusting creature like you, you imprudent fool!"
The were-cat shut her slitting jade eyes tightly, awaited for the final kill but it never came and she felt the grasp loosen her neck as she landed on her rear on the ground. She gasped opening her eyes to see the exotic creature held up the startled lycanthrope in the air.
"You shall not harm her, Lycan…" The exotic creature replied coldly and tonelessly to the gasping werewolf in his single grasp. "You, Lycan… and you, Sekhmet… All of the creations of the demon… are now banished and no longer to live in peaceful land again."
Sekhmet looked confusedly at the quietly, strange creature and she doubled looking at him as the feline gasped softly, the exotic creature looked nothing like all other creatures.
It was a black spirit… A see-through creature…
A phantom with limitless body… yet she knew he cannot touch unless he only touch someone who is a threat to him.
All she could remember the last thing, she heard the sharp scream before her world turned into darkness as she was blacked out.
The war was now finished in a month later; the creatures were nowhere in the sight… only few can be seen on different regions. No one knew what become of Lycan… and the unknown creature.
"Sekhmet… It's over. Lycan's gone now." Reiko replied, glancing at the sad were-cat with her ruby eyes. "It had been 1,500 years since your so called savior banished all of us. I heard there are the new creatures… I think it's called humans. The humans with elemental powers I bet."
"…I remember I saw his eyes…"
Reiko blinked and cocked her graceful, triangle shape of canine head at the soft word the feline uttered under her breath. "Pardon?"
"You know… his eyes are… like my master's…" Sekhmet whispered looking down at the grass she was sitting on and her eyes turned to the lone cliff…
The cliff where the unknown creature was vanished after the war… instead of the empty spot, it was a new one.
The cold eyes…
The crimson-violet eyes…
The new, second war began again.
