A/N: I got Dragon's Oath today and it inspried me too write about Kalona's past. For those that have read Dragon's Oath it's going to bein the same format but all in Kalona's point of view. I think all of us even if you hate or love Kalona wonder about his past and i really hope i capture that in the future chapters. Honestly, I think Kalona is who he is because of his choices and because of his fall, I think what Nyx did was uncalled for so you got to admit that Kalona is the way he is because of her also. This will be when Kalona is in the Otherworld and after he falls. And it also goes into detail of what he did and felt with A-ya later on and when he was in the Indian Villages Please read and review and check out my other House of Night stories by clicking my username. And that's it.
Chapter 1
Present-day Oklahoma
Kalona stood on the balcony of the penthouse the Tsi Sigili had purchased. His hands rested on the railing, eyes closed, breathing in the air of a cold night. He had just come back from the other word, a place in which he had failed to complete his task for Neferet; kill Zoey. The fallen warrior thought it would have been easy but it wasn't, he has never wanted Zoey to die or even get hurt that's why he hadn't been able to do it. Then, to make matters worse, Kalona's former Goddess Nyx had appeared and demanded for him to pay his debt to Zoey.
Looking at Nyx again, made so many memories that he had buried, surface thru the cracks and demand for his attention. Kalona had never meant to fall or let things get out of hand the way they did in the past but they just did. Not that he would ever admit it, he regretted it. The immortal regretted being casted from her Realm and then again; he still loved her, even after all these eons. Even though, Nyx had left him to the hands of Darkness in his recent return to the Otherworld, he knew, no matter how many times he tried to deny it, it was his fault he had made himself so vulnerable, so weak. Your choices make you who you are. That what Nyx always said and now more than ever Kalona knew it was true. His gazes averted towards the crescent moon hanging proudly in the sky, it reminded him of when his own body was covered with those tattoos because he was Nyx's Warrior. Despite that it couldn't be seen by others other than him, Kalona gazed down at his left wrist. He swallowed back sadness as he saw what was once there was almost all gone.
There was a truly faded blue-crescent moon with very faded golden wings on the sides. The moon of Nyx and the wings of Erebus. It used to be gone not at all a trace but these days he had been thinking about Nyx a lot lately and slowly, it had started to reappear. He just noticed it two days ago. Even if it did go back its full strength Neferet would never see it since only someone that was truly with Nyx could see it. Kalona kept staring at it, and then suddenly, a strand of Darkness locked around his wrist. The pain and pleasure of the touch, was addictive as it was destructive and Kalona knew that, he had known it for centuries and he never wanted to let go of it. Darkness was an amazing master and delivered exquisite power, but he also wanted for revenge. Kalona wanted revenge for what Nyx had to him eons ago. She had hurt him and broken his heart, and he wanted to avenge that by ruining this Realm, she helped built this Realm and he and Neferet were going to destroy it, rule it and kill all Light. He had his reasons and Neferet had her own, not that he cared what they were as long as they had the same intentions. They would rule here, something he had always wanted to do with Nyx but she loved Erebus, he was always second to her, Erebus was her first and Kalona hated it, that's why he did what he did. Kalona never wanted to go back, as long as Erebus was there. Jealousy and hatred coursed thru his veins, as he remembers the idiot of an immortal. Erebus didn't deserve Nyx. Then you do? Was Nyx response when he had told her he loved her. He had no response for that not even now. Maybe back then he had deserved her once, but not now. He was different now, not the same Kalona and he didn't miss his old self. His old self had been weak and foolish to be at the mercy of a woman, to follow her every command, when there was a much more rewarding and powerful master out there. It was funny that love made him fall and that it trapped him also. Kalona did love A-ya though. She accepted him, despite of what he was and what he had done. If only Zoey could be like that he thought to himself. He shook his head and placed a hand over his heart as if there was an ache there.
"Why Nyx?" Kalona spoke so softly, you almost couldn't hear it. "All I did was love you; all I did was want you. Why did you banish me instead of help me? You were cruel in doing what you did. There was other ways to solve and handle the problem why not deal with it?" Kalona spoke to the night. Unless Nyx loved him too. That thought made Kalona roar at himself. No he was going to give himself hope again. Love was foolish. Kalona closed his eyes, and slowly his past came to life behind his eyelids. A past he wasn't willing to share with anyone.
