Chapter 25 - 22

Fenris studied this merman as he asked"Did you get anything from him."Marcus sighed and replied"We compelled him and got the fact his people are more or less like us.They seem to also have turned or mutated after their island went underwater.They seem to live under the bermuda triangle and they seem to be able to live on land atleast for couple of hours .Also they seem to have two types or species amoung them one of them is like mermaids from the legends and the others are like him."

Fenris once again looked at the new species as he asked"So how did he die?"

William was the one to answer"He somehow broke through the compulsion and commited suicide by holding his breath."Fenris nodded and said"So he found out the fact we were getting info out of him.So he killed himself to prevent more information from being taken."

Selene was soon able to get back to Mikaelson manor where she met with her sister who was very happy to see her as Cecelia smiled and questioned"So how was the mission?"Selene with small smiled and replied, "It went well because of both Lord Fenris and young master David."

Cecelia noticed Selene was upset as she asked"What happened?"

Selene sighed and replied, "Just the normal council meeting and Kraven trying to discredit me."Cecelia narrowed her eye and said, "So that bastard has not learned his lesson even after Lord Fenris tortured him."

Selene was only involved with the council after Fenris advised her to get more supporters in council other than Coloman so she doesn't get forced into a situation she doesn't want, also to loyal people under her to watch her back as she started recruiting some of the ones she was close to her and her right hand now is Khan who is also the weapons expert.

Selene nodded as Cecelia then changed the subject"So you now have to get the other two brothers.I am sure Lord Fenris will come with you as these two brothers interest him greatly."Selene raised her eyebrows hearing Fenris will be accompanying her on this mission as Cecelia continued"but before that, we have to change you into one of us."

Selene didn't go after Vregis and Krandril immediately as Coloman had told her that he could only give her 50 years of deadline during that time if she could kill at least one of those brothers he would be able to extend the deadline further. So she spend most of the time with her sister and training her newfound powers and sometimes trained with Fenris as both of the them were able to find a connection as Fenris with slight curiosity questioned: "It must be hard of you to control yourself in front of Kraven and Victor."

Selene nodded as she got and said"You are a real taskmaster, you know that right."

Fenris just gave a grin which only annoyed Selene who once again started attacking as this time Selene went with a flurry of punch and kicks, but much to her disappointment Fernis easily defected each of them with precision as she tried to surprise Fenris with a flying triangle chokehold, but it backfired as Fenris was easily able to lift her and slam her to the ground causing Selene to release the hold and give up as Fenris said,"Well that is it for today."

Selene still in pain nodded and both were sitting and resting Selene questioned,"I heard you tell David about the Nordic coven,I thought that coven was a legend."Fenris was thoughtful and explained, "Well the nordic coven is more peaceful compared to it's counterparts, they don't like involving themselves in politics or war, you can say they are the most independent of the covens."

Selene raised an eyebrow hearing that as she couldn't believe a coven was able to function like that as she knew Victor's personality and knew he wouldn't let a coven disobey council's order like that as Selene questioned"What is so special about this coven that Victor turned a blind eye towards them."

Fenris smiled hearing this and answered"Well the coven has a very mysterious ritual through which some vampires are able to gain powers, Victor tried and failed obviously so he couldn't gain any powers. Also he knows both Amelia and Marcus are supporting the Nordic Coven,so he is not going to take chances with them."

Selene nodded understanding the situation as she muttered,"Victor backed out because he knew if he attacked the Nordic coven in any way it will cause a civil war between the Elders."Fenris nodded and added, "Also this time he knows he is on the losing side,So he decided to turn a blind eye.."Selene snorted hearing that and felt good at the fact Victor was powerless against Marcus and Amelia.
