We all thought we were the ones at the top of the food chain, completely untouchable. However it was like I said, we 'thought' we were. In the darkness lurks a creature like no other, that prays upon us. Hunting us! Waiting for just the right moment to strike, to knock us off of our high pedestal and back onto the ground. I know this because I have seen this beast. Been face to face with it, battled toe to toe with this creature, fighting for what was left of my life, and I was losing! - - - - - - - - "Watch out!" I scream in alert, as a hard thudding sound pierced our ears as something slammed into our side of the car, sending a sensation of dizziness as the car spun of of control. The screeching tires dragged along the floor, with the faint stench of the irony liquid dripping from my head as it all grew still...

The kingdom of Stretos had been around longer than the others, but it wasn't considered a kingdom during those days. It was more of a "safe haven' for the unusual and the different. The "unusual and the different" were what the people called shapeshifters. Those of the weak and closed-minded first called them witches and wizards thinking that they were doing it to scare the people, not because it was part of their DNA. Killed, hunted, and trapped, they moved far into the forests and kept to themselves. People were afraid of what they could be. In this case, Gozaydg, the ruler of the shapeshifters, could turn into a bear. And since they were "magic" per se they were twice as large as the normal animal was. The king was fully intent on living his life by himself. He didn't need nor want the love that his sister had. He was content with being an uncle, but when a woman as equally shamed and abused falls into his life he may just make an exception. | Third Book of The Royal Legacies Series | • - - - - - - - - - - • - - - - - - - - - - • This will contain some language, references, blood, gore, and violence.
