Chapter 338 Sanctions
It was a touching reunion of Selene, Kira, and Little Lowell. The family of three couldn't contain their happiness. The Moon Goddess felt so relieved because this war was over.
The White Witch approached her. "You've done well, Moon Goddess. But are you okay? You used a lot of magical power. I can feel it."
"I don't care even If I have to sacrifice all my magical powers for the peace of my children." The Moon Goddess smiled faintly. She looked around, observing them.
The White Witch bobbed her head. "I understand Moon Goddess. I will help you heal others." The White Witch volunteered.
Dylan immediately approached his friend. "Where is Lyca?"
"I left her in the forest to secure her safety. Don't worry. She is waiting for you." The White Witch responded cheerfully. "Come with me. Assis me in healing everyone."
The White Witch also motioned Raizel and Victoria to follow them. She prepared Healing Potions for everyone. Aside from the moon fairies, the White Witch and other wizards who were chosen by the Moon Goddess would help everyone, preventing the wounded warriors from dying.
The White Witch gathered Serena, Dominique, Selene, and Kira. "Dominique and Serena… your punishment doesn't end here. There is something you have to do to pay your sins to the vampire clan."
"Moon Goddess… we are willing to accept any punishment you will give us," Serena softly mumbled. She was aware that the punishment given to them by the Moon Goddess was not enough to pay for their crimes.
Selene looked at Serena. She encouraged her because she knew the Moon Goddess would be fair to all.
"Come with me. It's time to face everyone and announce the Peace Treaty." Moon Goddess signaled them to follow her to the battleground.
Cedric was captured by the moon fairies. Moon Goddess ordered them to watch him and find the other members of the White Claw Pack.
A few minutes later, Selene and others saw the unconscious crowd. Some were being healed by the Moon Fairies and the Witches. The Moon Goddess moved at the center. She closed her eyes and she began to do a graceful dance.
As the Moon Goddess moved, different molecules started to gather around her. Then it formed several transparent crystals emitting bright lights. The Moon Goddess waved her hands as if she was directing the crystals to their respective destinations. The small diamond crystals entered the foreheads of the different unconscious creatures. Selene, Serena, Kira, Dominique, and Little Lowell just watched everything in awe.
A few seconds later, the werewolves, the vampires, and the other creatures started to regain consciousness. They woke up, feeling confused. They got up only to see their Moon Goddess, standing at the center. She was not alone. Kira, Selene, Serena, and Dominique along with a cute charming boy caught everyone's attention.
"The Moon Goddess is here! It's been so long since the last time she showed up!"
Everyone kneeled upon seeing the Moon Goddess.
"Is that Kira, the Former Vampire King?"
"He is alive!"
"Why there are two Werewolf Queens?"
Gisel, who was standing next to Serafino, couldn't help but wonder why she could see two Selene. She had no idea that Selene had a twin sister.
"What is going on here? Where is Marceline?" Gisel asked Serafino.
"I think… she is the woman standing next to my Lord, Kira." Serafino assumed it.
The murmuring around intensified.
"Did the Vampire King and Werewolf King reconcile?"
"What is the meaning of this?"
They were still puzzled when the Moon Goddess spoke up.
"My dearest children… This pointless war has to stop. We need to reunite and maintain peace in this kingdom. I won't allow everyone to kill each other anymore. We have to end this loop of revenge and hatred. We must ask forgiveness and forgive each other."
The werewolves and vampires just listened to their Moon Goddess. After thousand years, she showed up to stop this war. Some were grateful because they were also hoping to end this fight. They were tired of violence and fighting, having bloodshed. They already lost their loved ones.
Is it really possible to bring back peace in this Kingdom? What if another creature would betray the current leadership? Who would rule the Kingdom? The Werewolf King or the Vampire King?
The creatures had so many questions in mind. The Moon Goddess could somehow figure out what was troubling their mind. With this, the Moon Goddess glanced at Kira and Dominique, allowing them to speak to their respective clans.
Dominique was the first one who stepped forward. "My werewolves, listen to me. I and my Queen agreed to this peace treaty. We are also willing to accept any punishment the Moon Goddess will give us. I realized the crime I committed in the past. With that… I would like to apologize to all the vampires… This war started because of my greed for power. Please forgive me… and give me another chance…"
Dominique humbled himself as he bowed his head while apologizing to the vampires. Both creatures had mixed feelings about this. They didn't expect that the Werewolf King would ask for forgiveness and acknowledged his evil deeds.
Kira also moved forward, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He watched everyone with sincerity. "To all the vampires who suffered because of my incompetence as your King, please forgive me. I have failed you. But this time, I will ensure that things in the past will not happen again. I wish for the werewolves, vampires, hybrids, and other creatures to live in harmony in our kingdom. I support this Peace Treaty… and I hope you will also support this… for our kinds… and future generations."
Both Kings were asking their clans to support this Peace Treaty. The entire area was engulfed with silence. Everyone was contemplating whether they would believe in this Peace Treaty or not. Soon, the leader of the Witches, Riemc, also spoke up.
"We, the witches and wizards, will serve as the mediator of peace in this Kingdom. Whoever tries to break this Peace Treaty, we, the Witches and Wizards, will punish them… under the order of the Moon Goddess."
The witches and wizards immediately agreed. They had been in difficult situations because of the war between werewolves and vampires. They were forced to side with either the vampires or werewolves. They were tired of this endless battle.
Hearing the cheers of the witches and wizards, the werewolves and the vampires also showed their support. The Werewolf King and the Vampire King already spoke on their clans' behalf.
The Moon Goddess felt surreal just seeing this. All the creatures reunited once again. Her announcement was not yet done so the Moon Goddess spoke again.
"To strengthen this Peace Treaty, this coming full moon, we will hold the wedding between the Vampire King, Kira, and the Werewolf Princess, Stella also known as Marceline." The Moon Goddess chose to call Selene as Stella because the werewolves knew her as Princess Stella.
Everyone cheered and rejoiced when they heard that announcement.
"Part of this, the werewolves will receive their punishment for the slavery of vampires. The werewolves will serve the former vampire slaves for five years. But I will make sure that no vampires will take advantage of this situation. Strictly no violence allowed! My moon fairies will be watching everyone."
"One more thing… After the royal wedding, the Werewolf King and the Werewolf Queen will be exiled to the human world and live simply for twenty years, serving the humans. This is also part of their punishment. They are not allowed to set foot in the Kingdom of Phantasia for Twenty Years."
