Everything started with us coming together. From the outside, it looked like four friends who, after a long time, reunited and got along very well. When described like this, everything seems like a very innocent and simple friendship, right? But what if one night your closest friend turned into a legendary being from mythology and told you that you were a part of this world? Yes, then everything would change, wouldn’t it? Some of you would go crazy, and some might think they’re going mad and end up in a mental hospital.

But that’s not what happened. We Heiliants were born with such powers and protected by such spells that these reactions remain just human responses in our presence. While you see wolves, foxes, eagles, and lions, or their hybrids with different names in books, let me share a secret with you: when I look around, I see Dragons, Griffins, Giant Wolves, Phoenixes, and Foxes...

A fierce battle had begun among us. The army was fighting Harley’s demons, and my closest friends were resisting. Everyone was in fear; we would either all die or return from death. Merlin was scattering many demons with his powerful magic, while Alpha was quickly catching and tearing apart the advancing ones. Luna was using the magical energy of moonlight to calm the enemies. Alvin was calling forth the elements of the earth to attack enemies from below.

Kasparov was blinding the enemies with his mental power and surrounding them with complex strategies. Amarok, in his giant wolf form, was leaping onto the enemies and tearing them apart. The Griffin Army flew from the sky to intercept the dangers and carried out aerial attacks against the enemies.

In the midst of the battle, I advanced towards the demon leader, Harley. A fierce clash ensued between us. Using Harley’s dark powers against my natural elements and the pure runes and spells I learned from Merlin, we fought mercilessly.

Violet: "Caude circumvolva, vulpes stupescat" - Twist your tail, let the foxes be astonished

Harley: Ah! You damned—

Merlin: What happened, Harley? You don’t seem so strong against a much stronger opponent?

Harley: Shut your mouth knots his mouth

Merlin: Oh come on grumbles

Violet: Pull your filthy hands off, you demon

Harley: Hahaha, you’re talking like it’s a bad thing his mouth is bleeding

Violet: No, I’m quite satisfied with what I am, but you, Harley approaches him will never truly be loved

Harley: I’m going to kill you, you bitch!

Alpha: Not while I’m here! paws at his head and scratches his face

Harley: Aaaah! My eye! Do you believe this fake girl, brother? How pitiful, I thought you were family!

Alpha: Enough of this acting, Harley! I always believed in you! I believed that what you said was true. But this is the end, Harley. This last evil you’ve done! I trusted that you were hurt and threatened Merlin with death. It turns out my own sister was behind all this.

Harley: Oh brother, if you’re done with your tragic speech, kill me. Go on, kill me, you old wolf! But you can’t, can you? You can’t be the killer of your own sister, can you?

Violet: Maybe you can’t, but I definitely will attacks him from behind, and they fight

Meanwhile, others were:

Alvin: Oh my gryffin Luna, don’t I deserve a kiss when this battle is over?

Luna: Alvin, we’re in the middle of a war, and you’re making advances? fighting one of the demons and backs up to Alvin

Alvin: You’re right, I need to propose immediately. Hey Amarok, you need to come here, buddy!

Amarok: I’m a bit busy right now, Alvin! struggling with one of the demons

Alvin: We have a wedding, people!

Kasparov: Great timing, idiot.

Alvin: Kasparov, will you be my best man?

Kasparov: What nonsense are you talking about? Merlin will definitely kill me!

Alvin: You’re my best option right now. Hey Amarok, come and perform this cursed wedding!

Amarok: Alvin, you chose this time?

Alvin: Come on, young friend!

Amarok: Ahhhh! goes to them Luna, start.

Luna: What! Are you guys crazy!

Alvin & Amarok: Luna!

Luna: Fine, then. I, Luna Margaret Moon, accept you, Alvin Sullian, as my spouse. At sunrise and sunset, in health and in sickness, while the moon shines and fades, I will be with you. With these words, I seal my soul to yours.

Amarok: Wonderful, bride. Groom, it’s your turn.

Alvin: I, Alvin Sullian, accept you, Luna Margaret Moon, as my spouse. At sunrise and sunset, in health and in sickness, while the moon rises and sets, I will be with you. With these words, I seal my soul to yours.

Amarok: Wonderful!

Kasparov: I also witness the marriage of these two fools with the dragon’s seal.

Amarok: You may kiss the bride.

Alvin: Come here takes Luna by the waist and kisses her, having just killed a few demons

Luna: I can’t believe it! excited and happy

Kasparov: If your wedding is over, can we return to the battle now?

Merlin: I can’t believe it, Alvin. How could you do this to me?

Alvin: Once this is over, we’ll have a real ceremony, of course, my friend. Otherwise, I would never have committed this treachery laughs

Merlin: Less talk, more fighting, wolf.

Luna: Merlin, you might want to use your spells aaaaa demon knocks her to the ground

Merlin: Stay away from my lovely sister, you demon! draws a rune and burns the demon

Amarok: What the hell is this?!

At that moment, a dragon descended from above and began killing demons alongside them.

Kasparov: Raya, aren’t you a bit late?

Alpha: Never mind being late; we’re sweating from our asses here.

Raya: Calm down, I’ve arrived, and this battle will end.

The electrical currents and fire emanating from her breath surrounded the demons and killed them all at once. Ben, Harley, and the others watched in amazement at what was happening.

Victoria, the Orphans, and Hector

I never thought I’d be so upset. First, the children we took from the orphanage and forcibly experimented on, and now Hector, a new orphan. Was it worse that his sister didn’t take care of him, or that he stayed with us? I guess time would tell. While I was lost in my sadness, the determination to save my niece Milan took over. First, I needed to find Victor’s hiding place and then make a plan to rescue her. But before that, there were a few more people I needed to save. As I was lost in these thoughts, Magnus, Aiden, Veronica, and Hector approached me, looking tense, with Veronica even seeming to be crying.

Hector: I’m very sorry for coming with you and being a burden, but I have no other place to go.

Victoria: It’s okay, child. First, let me find a way to defuse the bombs, and then I’ll take care of you.

Magnus: Did you hear, Veronica? We’re finally going to be free.

Aiden: Stop crying, Veronica! Can’t you see what that psychopath turned you into? If you don’t see it in yourself, look at us! Magnus has wings that don’t belong to him, my body is covered in scales, and you, Veronica, are a hybrid of a phoenix. If that’s not enough for you, look at Hector!

Magnus: That’s enough, Aiden. You’re scaring him.

Aiden: He should be scared. The man who should be scared turned to ashes right before our eyes, Magnus. I told him he shouldn’t have cooperated with Harley.

Victoria: Enough! He was my brother! Quiet down. I’ll come to you when I find a solution. Now, disperse. I have a headache.

Hector: Good luck to you all. I’m leaving.

Veronica: Where are you going?

Hector: I have a tribe, if it’s still in its place. I can return to them. They will be scared when they see me, but after all, they are all foxes.

Magnus extends his hand.

Magnus: Are we friends now?

Hector shakes his hand and smiles.

Hector: We are, my friend.

And thus, Hector sets out to return to his tribe to prepare a plan for revenge.

Aiden: So what do we do now on our first day of freedom?

Veronica: It’s not over yet. We need to get rid of the bombs.

Magnus: Victoria will find a solution. Let’s wait.

Aiden: I have a very bad feeling, and you know I’m never wrong.

Veronica: I don’t think this will end so easily. After all, she is Victor’s sister.

Magnus: You’re right.

Victoria approaches them.

Victoria: Yes, if you’ve finished your chattering, I guess you want to know my decision, otherwise, I’d be a bad doctor, wouldn’t I?

Magnus: Have you found a solution? asks happily

Victoria: Yes, my child, not just one solution but multiple solutions.

Veronica: But we have to choose one option, right?

Victoria: You’re very clever, Veronica. That’s why when we chose you, we described you as the smartest but also the most foolish. You’re clever because you understand quickly, but you’re also very foolish because you never understand why.

Aiden: So, that means Victor’s death isn’t a freedom.

Victoria: No, you’re free, but only after you find Milan.

Magnus: No! You can’t do this to us. Enough!

Victoria: Shall I, Magnus? Do you think I can’t?

She showed the green-buttoned remote in her hand, and everyone held their throats, thinking she was referring to the bomb, and they were terrified.

Veronica: One last job, Victoria, do you understand me? One last job, you’re no different from that psychopath brother of yours, Victor.

Victoria: Where did you get the idea you could make such a deal? Did you forget you still have a bomb on your neck?

Aiden: The one who has forgotten is you, Victoria. You’re the one who gave us these powers.

Magnus approaches Victoria and leans in to whisper:

Magnus: We could tear you apart like an animal at any moment, so think carefully.

He stepped back and gave Victoria a sly look.

Meanwhile, on the other side, everyone was listening intently to the words coming from the dragon:

Raya: You descendants of the Five Great Nations, what is it that you cannot share here?

Raya: You descendants of the Five Great Nations, what is it that you cannot share here?

Merlin bowed to Raya and said:

Merlin: Greetings to you, Raya. The problem is that Harley wants Rein Orka.

Harley: And I will make that wish! Tell me the words, Dragon!

Raya: If you want it so badly, take the sphere into your hand.

Luna: Raya, stop!

Alvin: Raya, no!

Alpha grabs them by the arm and pulls them back.

Alpha: She’s a dragon, trust me, nothing will go wrong.

Merlin: She is the ancestor of these races; she will not betray us.

Violet: I hope not.

Harley: Quiet down!

Raya: Repeat after me, Harley.

Raya: "Lux me audiat" - Let the light hear me

Harley: Lux me audiat

The sphere began to move, and Harley looked at it with a smile of happiness.

Raya: "Anima votum meum sit" - Let my soul be the wish

Harley: Anima votum meum sit

Everyone looked at Harley with fear, anxiously watching what would happen. I clung to Merlin out of fear.

Raya: "Rein Orka evigilet" - Let Rein Orka awaken

Harley: Rein Orka evigilet

Raya: "Mundus a principio instauratur" - Let the world be remade from the beginning

Harley: Mundus a principio instauratur

The sphere in Harley’s hand turned back into an energy orb and returned to its original form. Raya calmly said to him:

Raya: The sphere is now active. You can make your wish.

Harley: You stupid dragon, I will destroy all of you! laughs

Harley: Rein Orka, read my wish, remake the world from the beginning. This is my desire: let the oaths of the Dragons be broken and history repeat itself.

As Harley finished his words, an energy explosion occurred, and light particles began to spread around. I had a heavy ringing in my ears and a headache. It seemed that everyone experienced the same thing, and I immediately looked for Merlin.

Victoria: You’re alive, Houdini?

Merlin: I’ll live to embrace you always.

Alvin: Did we die? Luna, my dear calls out tearfully

Luna: Don’t be silly, I’m here, don’t be afraid they hug

Kasparov: Amarok, my friend, wake up

Amarok: Don’t worry, Kasparov, I’m fine, just a headache they hug

Alpha: Harley! My brother cries

Raya: Alpha, calm down. He’s not dead, but he will no longer be in the physical world. Your sister is now a part of Rein Orka.

Alvin: Is it all over now?

Merlin: I suppose so, my friend.

Violet: Raya, how is this happening? Couldn’t he have tricked us? After all, he manipulated us and escaped.

Luna: Yes, Raya, we need to be sure.

Kasparov: It’s impossible. The only race that can’t be deceived is the Dragons.

Violet: Why?

Alpha: Because, Violet, our races are descended from Dragons. They are pure energy, pure spirit, pure power. So Raya, you wanted this to happen deliberately, right?

Raya: Look, my people, Rein Orka is a wish sphere. A dragon dies, and Rein Orka is formed from the purest emotions that passed through its heart. The sphere chooses an heir; Harley could have wished for anything, but it would have turned out the opposite. It takes one and gives one in return, soul for soul. The last wish was made by Violet’s grandfather to save his people, and these genes passed to his descendant. If you take Rein Orka and make a wish, if you are a good soul, it will take something equivalent to your wish from you. But if you are a bad soul, Rein Orka will trap you inside the sphere and break you into atoms. That’s what happened to Harley; he is now a part of Rein Orka. The next heir will be chosen by him, and we must stay alert for the Harley inside him.

Merlin: So even if he is a good soul, he could still manipulate and choose someone to get him out of there?

Violet: Is that possible?

Raya: Not for a while. This desire might keep him from coming out for years, so for now, we can declare victory. And Alpha, I’m very sorry for what happened. I know no one can replace your sister, but you have friends who love you and a caring family. Cherish them.

Alpha: Of course, Raya. Harley always envied me when we were young and would often talk about how happy and proud he was to be my brother. He would join me in hunts and activities typical of wolves. This will remain a part of my memories. I hope he’s at peace wherever he went.

Raya: Don’t worry, he will be fine in his own way.

Alvin: Well then, you’re all invited to my wedding laughs and hugs Luna

Luna: Yes, V, you should pick a dress.

Merlin: It is an honor for us, my friend.

And we were all happy that we had saved the day. We set out together towards Merlin's house. I, Merlin, Alpha, and Alvin were moving forward in our Heiliant forms, while above us, the Griffin army, Luna, Raya, and Kasparov were flying. After long, fun conversations and Alvin’s bathroom breaks, we finally arrived home. Everyone was saying they were hungry, so Luna and Kasparov set up another amazing feast.

I had never had such a wonderful meal in the forest before; there were all kinds of dishes, and I’m not even mentioning the desserts. While eating, I caught sight of Merlin. I couldn’t see him around, but the crowd was so dense that it would have been a miracle to spot him. I tried calling out to him in my mind.

Violet’s Mind: Hey Houdini, where have you disappeared to?

Merlin’s Mind: I’m at the back, my dear.

I quietly got up from the table and went to Merlin. The crowd was so thick that no one would notice me slipping away.

Violet: I guess you’re avoiding the crowd?

Merlin: I had been avoiding my feelings for a long time, V, but now things have fallen into place.

Violet: Oh Houdini, we will protect this order hugs him

Merlin: So what are you planning to wear for tomorrow’s wedding?

Violet: I think a white maid of honor dress with fox patterns would suit me well.

Merlin: You look beautiful in any dress, my fox.

Violet: Merlin, putting everything aside, our story is just beginning. We will sink to the bottom and climb to the top together. We will hunt together and alone, fight together and face each other, but let our love always be the winner.

Merlin: I swear upon my soul, my Lady, our love will always prevail.

Violet: Will you teach me a few moves later?

Merlin: Of course, my Lady, however you like. Let’s not leave them alone; come on.

He extended his hand, and of course, I took it and followed him. For some reason, I had a bad feeling inside me. But since we had defeated Harley, I was only focusing on the wedding.

Morning came, and we spent the time until noon preparing for the wedding. We joked and got angry at times, but we had a good time because we knew that after the wedding, everyone would scatter, and we wanted to make the most of the day. I had designed a two-piece dress and wore it; the top was a heart-shaped orange flame-patterned strapless bustier, and underneath was a long white skirt with flame patterns. Thankfully, with our magic, making these outfits was a piece of cake.

After everyone was ready, they moved to the area we had worked on all day and had prepared with so much enjoyment.

Kasparov had become the priest, and once everyone was seated, he began his speech.

Kasparov: Do you, Luna Margaret Moon, wish to be sealed to Alvin Sullian with the deepest and purest love of your soul?

Alpha: Think again, Luna laughs

Amarok: This is your last chance, Luna smiles

Alvin: Alright, alright, I deserve this. Yes.

Kasparov: Proceed, Luna.

Luna: I, Luna Margaret Moon, accept you, Alvin Sullian, as my spouse. I will be with you at the rise and fall of the sun, in health and in affliction, while the moon shines and fades. With these words, I approve of sealing my soul to yours.

Kasparov: The seal has now been written on your soul. And you, Alvin Sullian, do you wish to seal your soul to Luna Margaret Moon with the power of the moonlight, forever?

Alvin: I, Alvin Sullian, accept you, Luna Margaret Moon, as my spouse. I will be with you at the rise and fall of the sun, in health and in affliction, while the moon rises and sets. With these words, I approve of sealing my soul to yours.

Kasparov: Merlin Magus, do you witness the sealing of these two souls to each other for eternity?

Merlin: I witness it upon a fox's tear and a phoenix's ashes.

Kasparov: And as a dragon, I seal these two young souls and their lives to each other. Join your hands and look into each other's eyes.

Luna and Alvin gazed at each other lovingly as they held hands. Kasparov wrapped the red fabric around their hands and said:

Kasparov: "Duas animas profunde vinculo obsigna et draconis amore augeantur amores eorum." – Seal these two souls with the deepest bonds, and let their love flourish with dragon’s love.

We were witnessing a true visual spectacle. The red fabric began to glow and shine, and both Luna’s and Alvin’s souls appeared over their bodies, merging into each other as they united, completing the harmony. Their souls were now bound together, just like we had imagined in our childhood. It wasn’t as fantastical as we had dreamed, but it added a special touch.

Merlin: Hey V, do you think our wedding will be as exciting and beautiful as this?

Violet: Is this a marriage proposal, Hamlet?

Merlin: Ahaha, yes, this is a proposal. Will you marry me, Ophelia?

Violet: Oww, such a romantic and poetic proposal, how could I refuse?

I approached him, hugged him, and kissed him. After everything, reaching a happy ending thrilled everyone. After the wedding and once everyone had returned to their homes, I decided to live with Merlin. There was much to learn from him, and my story was far from over.

Returning to his tribe, Hector finally arrived. He was met with fear at the camp; in fact, they didn’t give him food or water for a while, thinking he was cursed. They believed that the spell of his great-grandfather Charles had been broken and that disaster would befall them. But one night, while everyone was gathered together, Hector began to tell them about the real world.

Hector: That’s exactly what happened, and then I ended up in the middle of a battle and managed to survive. It wasn’t a full battle, though; the psychopath who had kidnapped me was killed by another madman and turned to ash. His sister, along with the others, took me to a safe place. They also had their own internal conflict, and I decided that the best course was to leave there and come here.

Camp Resident: What about your ears? Will they get better, or will you live like this?

Hector: No, I will take revenge on each one of them!

And so we have reached the end of the first book. If you enjoyed the story up to this point, I’m glad. I have wanted to write and finish this narrative for a long time. In the past, I repeatedly started over because the story was often left incomplete, and each time I lost my reader base.

But I hope the current readers enjoy the book. How did you find the ending? Do you think it should have been more dramatic?

Don’t worry, the series consists of 7 books.

In Harmony: The Wolf, the highlighted characters will be Harley and Merlin, and you will read about the events between them. The story will, of course, connect to the end of this book at some point. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Stay well, my Foxes ❤️
