" Your father must have foreseen something for him to hand over these weapons to you, before his demise. "
Another remark that blew me off track. 
We were en route to the Northern lands. 
Ryan's mysterious uncle was behind us as well. He promised to lead us to the last post where he himself was allowed. 
" What do you mean? "
I , naturally slowed down ." Did you know my father? "
" I might have. " He smiled. Then he positioned himself between myself and the rest of my team in such a manner that only I would be able to hear what he says. 
" That tree over there, is the last post till where I will be able to accompany you guys."
"Why? I mean why can you not cross that land? "
I knew that he specifically asked us not to ask about that but I took the liberty. 
" Ahhh! You are quite a girl I see. Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you since we both will be sharing some more secrecy. " He flashed his contagious smile again, " You see that thing that rules those lands have a dark source. He and I, once used to be friends. It was the time when Ryan's mother, Helos,you know, the northern chief and I didn't know that we would be so robbed of our innocence. 
Helos and Ryan's mother were lovers and I was their secret keeper. 
Never in the million years did I imagine, love could change the entire course of the living world. "
" What? Ryan's mother and the Northern chief were lovers? Why did she then marry Ryan's father? "
It was the stupidest question to ask. His smirk instantly made me regret asking that. 
" Well, you are one to talk. But unlike you, Ryan's mother didn't have another choice. She was taken in as a spoil of war.She was forced to marry the man who killed and wiped out her entire clan. "
I wanted to argue that I didn't have another choice either but someone, thinking about Ryan's mother's sorry circumstances made me want to shut up. 
"Well, I am sorry to hear about that. That somehow explains what happened between them when Ryan was gone to the North with us... However, it didn't answer my actual question. Why can you not cross beyond that point. "
" Well what ever happened in the northern lands and at Ryan's tribe might not be a coincidence. Helos murdered his own clan to harness an undisputed, absolute power that would be unparalleled in the entire world. His only motive was to rescue his beloved and spend the rest of his days with him. But by the time he got to her, she was already carrying Ryan. Though she conceived him against her own will, she loved him nevertheless since her morale forbade her from killing her child. Helos loved her too deeply to hurt her physically. He backed off when she let him where she stood with reality. However, darkness doesn't let you go so easily. He vowed to ruin the life of the child, who, in his opinion, was the cause of his misfortune. He could have killed Ryan instantly after he was born but he chose to curse him instead. He chose to make it his life's motive, to make sure that he was always in pain. "
He paused for a little while, then added, " And you my little Alpha, fell into this game when you entered him realm along with Ryan. He cursed your soul as well. Your crime was being in love with the child who took everything away from him. "
I was too stunned to speak. He came up to me and whispered, " And the reason I cannot cross those lands is because the source of my power is from the light around us. But I am not strong enough to overcome the amount of darkness that he has garnered. I would lose all my power if I stepped on his land. I have, in my own ways, tried to save the little boy who is suffering for no apparent fault of his. A boy unwanted but very much loved by his mother. "
" But why are you telling me all this? Does Ryan not have the first right to know about this matter? "
" It would be an unnecessary burden that we would be putting on his shoulder by letting him know about that. He is powerless against Helos and his curse. "
" Why then , did you tell me about it? " I asked. 
" The only reason I told you about it , is because you are the only one who can save Ryan, if you want. I mean, save his soul and save his heart. "
He wasn't making much sense, that I knew for sure. Then suddenly I could see him panicking. 
His facial expressions changed and it seemed like he was in a hurry. 
" He is near. I must leave. Remember the weapons that your father gave. They are part of a Trinity. Their might is the strongest when used together. And remember, only you can save Ryan. So choose wisely. Take care girl. "
And just like that he was gone. 
" Sherizad. Come on, hurry. Why are you lagging behind. We will be reaching in a moment. "
I saw Ryan ride towards me and I couldn't control myself, seeing him like that. 
I sprang on his horse from mine. 
There were men from my tribe, his tribe and Tristan's tribe, watching. I didn't care. 
Ryan looked happy but flushed. 
" Let's go kick some ghostly a*s." I kissed him on the cheeks before jumping off the horse, on the ground again. It was time to rev up. It was time to prepare our men for what was coming up ahead.
Werewolves from the three tribes lined up on this side as the other seven tribes were supposed to surroud the land from the other sides. 
It was time to end the terror of the cursed souls. 
It was a revenge for all the fallen werewolves
