I do not own any of the characters they belong to diseny.

Prodigal Daughter

Heads bowed with sullen faces, the five warriors pass the small hill of covered corpses, heading straight for the Mansion ahead "Madam Goshins..." two sets of green orbs look over to the male that called them, he bow before them "Spiritual Leader Yuma is here as you requested."

EbonyMoss bare her teeth then huff softly as the male and one of her dearest allies walk over with a cheesy smile "Madam huh?...my you sure have moved up since the other day, congratulations" he continue smiling up at her.

EbonyMoss just look down at him then snort nonchalantly back though it's pained somewhat and full of sadness 'yeah, well what did you expect?'

a golden hand land on her flank "nothing less from you, however I want to convey something to you..." he place another hand on her chest "through all the pain you go through as an Alpha when dealing with the loss of loved ones or subordinates there is always a joy in the end of the journey"

EbonyMoss stiffen and snarl in pain then relax only to end up in a crouch as her legs almost give out, her brother land on the ground beside her as Kim kneel on the other side "Sanai are you alright?"

Spiritual Leader Yuma is immediately bound by his hands "Spiritual Leader!" his right hand woman comes to his rescue only to end up tackled and bound as well "wha..." she grit her teeth "let go of Spiritual Leader, he did nothing wro-"

"enough..." steel grey eyes meet baby blue ones "Zlata calm yourself..." he smile at her reassuringly "everything will be fine" the blond/green haired female reluctantly follow the order of her Leader and return to her calm yet on guard demeanor.

The two HawkBreath Clan members are lifted up with somewhat rough pulling "sorry to do this Spiritual Leader, but you are under arrest for harming Madam Sanai Goshin, how do you plea?" the young HawkBreath Alpha look back at his arrestor and smirk before opening his mouth

"not guilty"

all eyes look over to the Alpha pair "Madam?"

"I said not guilty"

the male look flabbergasted "b-but M-Madam..."

green eyes look into his bronze orbs, piercing his very soul 'can you not hear...the verdict is not guilty...now let go of those two' the guards unbound the Spiritual Leader and Zlata.

EbonyMoss stand back upright on steady legs and bow her head humbly 'my apologies Spiritual Leader Yuma, shall we go on with the ceremony, so my stressed out clan can rest from that exhausting battle?'

he smile at her "there's nothing to apologize for, they care for you, so it's only right they arrest on assumption..." he point to the woman behind him "Zlata here would've done the same" a light blush stain Zlata's cheeks.

Spiritual Leader Yuma clap "come let us get started" five females with furred bras and medium long lion-clothed skirts and five males with half an inch longer lion-cloths walk over to the dual-colored she-wolf, they are marked with ancient Mayan language tattoos

'are these...?'

Yuma nod with a smirk "the long thought to be extinct BloodMoonEye Clan."

The ten of them respectfully kneel before EbonyMoss with heads bowed "it's an honored to finally grace your presence Lady Vasilisa, it's been a long awaited journey"

emerald eyes blink then look over to Yuma, who shrug nonchalantly then her whole demeanor change once she look back down at the ten male and females her aura take on a whole new regal air 'is that so...well the honor is all mine, however I would like to know why you have been waiting so long to see me?'

one male slide slightly ahead of the group "the time for us to meet isn't essentially right, but our skill is needed at this moment to accomplish this task, so when we meet again everything will be in order"

emerald eyes narrow then she huff sharply 'so be it.'

The group rise to their feet and walk over to the covered pile, forming a semi-circle facing the gates with Spiritual Leader in the middle, all of the RockClaw Clan members stand behind them in their true forms minus Kim still holding Kaison and two guards on either side of the open gate, Wes even finally wake up and stand on his own two feet to join in on the ceremony.

The BloodMoonEye Clan began chanting low then they get louder and louder all while Spiritual Leader Yuma began praying "ShySterling safeguard your children as we send these troubled souls into the great beyond and GoldenBrave have pity on them as you cleanse their bodies to release their souls" the covering is removed quickly and the pile goes up in flames.

Senses are shut off as the revolting smell of burning Vampire flesh reach the noses of all Lycans, all three clans remain rooted in place in order to complete the ceremony then the first fierce howl set off the rest into a frenzy of howls and aggressive barking.

Olive eyes blink rapidly then squint trying to discern that what they're seeing is real "what the..." a peach hand rub them vigorously then look again "how..."

'surprising isn't it?'

olive eyes look over at the dual colored she-wolfbeside her while red orbs look to both parents "so what I'm seeing is..."

emerald eyes look over at her 'yep...those are the spirits of all the Vampires that perished in the fight.'

Kim look back again with a light blush while her mate gives her an odd look until the redhead ask a question "so this is the end isn't it?"

emerald eyes blink 'what do you mean?' EbonyMoss's heart speed up due to fear

"I mean the trouble for us is over right, nothing troubling should go on today?"

EbonyMoss breathe through her nose slowly then look ahead again 'we never know when the next attack will occur, but most honor traditions no matter the enemy, whether it be Lycan on Lycan, Lycan on Vampire or Lycan on Trolls tradition and ceremonies will be honored, but there is always one puissant out of thousands'

Kim look down at Kaison as he began babbling while chewing on his hand, she chuckle at the sight of his gums clamping down onto the now slobbery appendage, his red eyes look up at her and give her a gigantic grin while continuing to chew on his hand, a black nose then touch his cheek and he retaliates by grabbing the snout with his slobbery hand and biting the nose with his toothless gums.

EbonyMoss flinch, but remain where she is, happy their little boy is in high spirits once again after whatever ordeal those Ice Bastards put him through, along with Yori 'don't worry I won't let them take you away again' red look into green as they shine and twinkle like small dull rubies causing hers to shine as well.

The howls and barking slowly come to a halt and the only sound is the crackling of smoldering ashes, Spiritual Leader Yuma turn around to face EbonyMoss with his eyes closed, while the BlodMoonEye men collect the ashes "are you ready Lady Goshin?" when he open his eyes they almost bulge out his skull at the site before him and an uproarious laughter almost emanate from his throat, but he suppress it all and maintain his composure.

EbonyMoss however look over at her closest ally and friend with a, laugh, even crack a tiny smile and I fry you where you stand kind of look 'just a moment...' she slowly pull her nose away from Kaison's mighty death grip 'let go peewee...' the bouncing baby boy let go of his Mommy with a toothless grin and a laugh then return to nibbling on his hand while EbonyMoss twitch her nose and wipe it off with her paw then look up at Yuma again 'ready when you are.'

Yuma nod and head out to the gates with EbonyMoss right on his heels and the BloodMoonEye Clan on hers, while the RockClaw Clan wait patiently, Kim smile down at her son then look up suddenly as a familiar figure come over and stand beside her, she look over, smiling more "Director you're up again...are you alright to move"

the one eyed woman look at her with a smile of her own "yes I've just finished healing and ready for again thing, however there is one thing I have to do first as current Beta" she faze into her true form and raise her head releasing a melodious howl that astonishes Kim, soon the pack follow her like a fine tuned orchestra.

The fur on EbonyMoss's back stand on end as an excited shiver run down her spine 'I always did love that part of the ceremony'

"as do I, beautiful...simply beautiful" emerald eyes just look at him then close as they listen to the melody of her tired clans' howls of peace and fulfillment, while behind her the females of the BloodMoonEye Clan sprinkle the ashes on the ground around the wall of the RockClaw Clan inner territory, once the group return the howls have ceased and Spiritual Leader Yuma conclude the ceremony.

EbonyMoss and Kim watch the HawkBreath and BloodMoonEye Clans return to their designated territories as their own pack prepare for rest and relaxation, a soft sigh goes off beside the dual-colored she-wolf 'something wrong Kimmie?'

the redhead sigh again "no but we'll be going through something like this again for Monique won't we?"

emerald eyes widen then close as a whimper escape a disheartening, EbonyMoss 'I had totally forgotten about that...damn!' a soothing hand touch her flank

"it's alright Sweetie we'll both get through it together"

EbonyMoss look at her redhead mate then rest her head on her shoulder 'what would I ever do without you?'

"oh I don't know probably forget your head if it wasn't attached to your body" the Alpha pair instantly separate as the voice startle them because it can't be, it just simply can't be real, both pair of green eyes look behind them and just stare in amazement "what do I have something on me, shit don't tell me Kaison done spit up on me while I was sleep and you guys left it on me for a joke, because it ain't funny that's nasty, cause Sanai wi-" the angry ranting is cut off by a fierce hug from overzealous, caring friends "dammit Sanai not that I'm not enjoying the hug, but what the hell has gotten in to you, you rarely hug anyone let along friends?!"

Shego now in her human form, hide her face into rich, cocoa skin as she hide the tears streaming down her face "it's just...aww hell Mo I thought we lost you back there, I thought you died trying to protect Kaison"

the cocoa beauty is confused "okay what kind of meds are you on and what did Kim do to you during ya'll lil fun time alone?"

Emerald eyes look into chocolate ones and black painted lips open to answer, but another voice beat her to it "a lot has happened while you where asleep Monique, but rest assured everything is fine now, so relax Sanai this isn't like you at all"

Shego glare at the intruding woman she currently share her genes with, but choose to ignore her and hug her other best friend once again "whatever it's just good to have you awake again Mo" Kaison squeal in anger and all eyes look to him, he then outstretch his arms to his favorite human, she grab him and place him in her arms, he then proceed to babble and scream at her with an angry expression on his face, at least that's what everyone assume is an angry expression "looks like someone is mad at you for leaving him alone"

Monique smile down at the fussing babe "okay, okay Kai I'm sorry forgive me?" Kaison stop babbling and sigh heavily then smile up at her before cuddling in close to her chest and getting some well deserved rest "I'm guessing that's a yes" everyone laugh at that.

Emerald eyes then look over into rust-colored ones "so Granny Kazane left, huh?"

all laughter suddenly stopped and all eyes, mainly the two Duran siblings, land on Xin Qian as she look intently into her now eldest child eyes and said in a neutral breathe "yes she did" then step to the side to reveal a sheet covered body with a familiar sword lying on top of it signaling one thing to the green-skinned female, but her mother voice what she tries so hard to deny what is clearly right before her very eyes, mocking her "she left us, in order to bring Monique back into this world."
