His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 17

"Everyone has brought their pieces?" The King questioned.

The seriousness in the air was not broken by the question. Everyone had their pieces. Those who forgot took a quick glance at the prince and gulped back whatever they were going to say about not having it.

The King gave another quick look around the room and then continued, "We bring forth pieces of paper that we will burn. These papers have written on them what you would like to rid from your past." The King smiled and flashed a piece of paper to his people watching. With his demonstration, he placed the slip in the flames, as all watched on in awe of the fire eating what was written, now never to be seen.

After the King came the Queen, and then the Prince.

He looked down at his paper, written on it were only two words,

"My Search."

Closing his eyes he tossed the paper into the fire and turned his back to the onlookers.

One by one each person came forth and set their paper in the fame. Some cried. Others looked relieved. Some did not look affected at all.

It was swiftly done. Only those of high rank and social status were allowed to partake in the Blue Moon Ceremony. Many took honor in such attendance and came, but the crowd still only sized to roughly 200.

Most were waiting in their rooms for the real fun that would happen later that night.

Once the crowd was seated, the King got up from his chair that was placed in the front to the side.

"A new burning will take place now. This time we will burn pieces of paper that have written something new that you would like to come forth in your life." The King once again demonstrated to the mass, with the Queen and Prince following after him.

The Prince did not even take a second glance at his paper as he threw it away into the flames.

The mass came forth again. Some were starting to realize how tedious the ceremony was going to be. Others again, however, were overwhelmed with emotion when throwing their paper into the flames.

The King gave a soft sigh of exhaustion of how much was left of the Ceremony.

Getting back up once everyone was seated, he raised his hands and yelled, "Bring the water!"

Two men appeared from the side door. One took away the flame and disappeared, the other placed a bowl of water before the King.

The mass nodded and voiced their welcomes.

The King cleared his throat and said, "We lastly must remember our place. We must remember the wolf."

The mass nodded again.

The King stepped aside and the Queen took his place where he stood. She spoke in a clear strong voice, telling the story of the wolf to the people.

"Old old, long long ago when humans still had access to the land and freely roamed, a village was walking through the forest.The people were moving to a better land.

While in the forest though, a wolf walked past the people. The wolf paid no mind to the people, ignoring them, and the people respected the power of the wolf. One girl, however, said to herself, "if only I could have a husband like that! Graceful and Powerful yet so deadly and beautiful.

Later that night when the village was sleeping, the wolf came to the girl, for he had read her heart and what she was thinking. He turned into a man and woke the girl telling her to come with him. The girl left her family and went with the wolf.

The wolf and girl had two sons. As the sons grew, however, they began to notice how different they were from their father. For he was a full wolf, who was able to take the shape of man, while the sons were full man, only able to take the shape of a wolf.
