BLOODMOON

Chapter Seventeen:Guidance from the Shaman

As the scene continued to unfold before Arvan and his pack, they watched as the dying Zeus, weakened and battered, saw a group of survivors emerging from their ravaged town-the aftermath of the destruction wreaked by King Lycaon and his Lycan army. Zeus, in his final moments, appeared before the mortals, his presence still radiant despite his injuries.

In his dying breath, the mighty god bestowed upon the mortals a sacred oath, binding them to a solemn promise that would span the centuries. He charged them with the duty to hunt down and confront Lycaon's descendants, the newly named Lycans, for generations to come. This oath, forged in the fires of vengeance and divine justice, marked the origins of what would eventually become the Order of Jupiter.

Arvan and his pack, witnessing this pivotal moment in history, came to a profound realization. This was the genesis of the age-old feud between the Lycans and the Order of Jupiter, an eternal conflict that had spanned generations and would continue to shape their world's destiny.

As the shaman's vision unfolded, Arvan and his pack continued to witness the ancient past. Lycaon, now elevated to godhood through the absorption of Zeus's divine essence, stood before his gathered children and their loyal armies. His godly presence radiated power, wisdom, and an unparalleled sense of purpose.

Lycaon, in his newfound divine form, issued a command to his children and their vast armies. He ordered them to embark on a sacred mission, one that would forever shape the course of human history. Their divine purpose was to spread the transformative gift of Lycanthropy throughout the world, bestowing the curse and the power of the Lycan upon countless individuals

The assembled Lycans, now gifted with divine authority and unparalleled strength, took flight and began their journey. They journeyed across the vast landscapes, crossing seas and mountains, forests and deserts, bringing with them the gift of Lycanthropy. As they traveled, they encountered various human tribes and communities, ultimately gifting the world with the presence of Lycans and other werecreatures.

These interactions with the mortal world led to the birth of new breeds of werecreatures, including werecoyotes, werecougars, and werefoxes, each inheriting their own unique traits and abilities, bestowed upon them by the Lycan gods.

Arvan and his pack watched in awe as the world transformed before their eyes. The shaman's vision revealed the profound impact of the Lycans' divine mission, which had not only shaped their own existence but had also left an indelible mark on the tapestry of human and supernatural history. This ancient journey represented the complex relationship between the Lycans, werecreatures, and humanity, a relationship that was destined to endure through the ages.

Arvan and his pack found themselves transported to the heart of ancient Rome during the peak of the Roman Empire. The sprawling city was a bustling metropolis, filled with grand architecture, bustling streets, and a thriving populace. It was a sight to behold.
As they observed the city and its people, they began to uncover the origins of the Lupus Daemonium. Within the city's shadows, they witnessed the emergence of a secretive cult known as the "Lupus Daemonium." This cult was shrouded in darkness and secrecy, practicing dark rituals that blended elements of lycanthropy and demonic worship.

Members of the Lupus Daemonium cult were known to engage in unholy ceremonies, invoking the power of dark entities and sinister forces. They believed that by embracing these dark powers, they could achieve immortality and unparalleled strength. The cult's activities were hidden from the public eye, and they operated in the shadows, using their dark gifts to manipulate the course of history.

The Lupus Daemonium was dedicated to furthering their malevolent goals, and their actions would have far-reaching consequences for the world. As Arvan and his pack observed these events, they realized the depth of the threat posed by the Lupus Daemonium and the urgent need to confront them.

The shaman's vision had transported them to a pivotal point in history, revealing the ancient roots of the Lupus Daemonium and the dark path they had chosen. It was clear that the battle against this sinister cult had spanned centuries, and it was far from over. Arvan and his pack understood that they needed to confront this evil force and prevent its plans from coming to fruition.

Arvan and his pack continued to observe the unfolding events in ancient Rome. The Lupus Daemonium cult's dark ambitions were becoming clearer. They held the dagger, a powerful artifact, with the intent of using it to release Typhon from the depths of Tartarus, unleashing chaos and destruction upon the Earth.

However, their sinister plan did not go unopposed. A coalition of ancient Lycan tribes from different regions, including the Roman Lycans, Germanic Lycans, Caledonian Lycans, and Celtic Lycans, came together to confront the Lupus Daemonium. They were united by a common purpose: to prevent Typhon's release and protect humanity from the cataclysmic consequences.
A fierce battle unfolded between the Lupus Daemonium and the united Lycan forces. The clash of supernatural abilities and martial prowess shook the very foundations of Rome. The Roman Lycans, known for their disciplined tactics, were joined by the ferocity of the Germanic Lycans and the wild determination of the Caledonian and Celtic Lycans.

Together, they fought with unwavering resolve, pushing back the Lupus Daemonium and thwarting their plan to release Typhon. As the battle raged on, the dagger's importance was clear. It held the key to unlocking the prison of a primordial and malevolent force.

In the end, the united Lycan forces emerged victorious, defeating the Lupus Daemonium and preventing Typhon's escape. To safeguard the world from the dagger's power, they decided to conceal it in a secret location beneath the city of Rome, where it would remain hidden from those who sought to misuse its formidable capabilities.

Arvan and his pack witnessed this pivotal moment in history, understanding the crucial role the dagger played in the ongoing struggle between Lycans and the Lupus Daemonium. The shaman's vision had revealed the intricate web of history, and it was clear that their mission to locate and protect the dagger was of utmost importance.
