Once the hail storm ended …

Lucas and the rest were on the move.

​​

…

Malia was busy experimenting with her dark magic.

An entire floor was added in the fortress.

For the sole purpose of Malia's experiments and personal training ground.

Spacious …

High ceiling …

Black and white flooring …

Candles lit everywhere and scattered all throughout the area.

Eyes of Malia were completely dark as the shadows.

Levitating with dark magic essence surrounding her.

Ancient writings were written on the floor.

Summoning four elements at the same time.

{-Fire-}

{-Water-}

{-Earth-}

{-Air-}

Combined with her dark magic.

It has become easier for Malia to control the four elements at the same time.

Without relying to her powerful amplifier bracelet.

Meanwhile,

On the war room where few members of the Gorvic Coven were gathered.

Including Remy …

Standing beside Amelia …

"Grand Elder Amelia! I received a message from one of our spies in the vampire court. King Viktor is losing supporters. It looks like Malia's plans to pressure the other covens and divide the vampire court are working." Remy informed Amelia regarding the reports she received.

"Well, that's good! What we need to worry is the neighboring kingdoms which may take advantage of our weakened state and low defenses…" Amelia expressed her concern and worries.

In the middle of their discussion, the huge doors of the war room opened.

Announcing the arrival of Ingrid and Lucas.

"Ingrid!" Amelia was surprised to see Ingrid with Lucas.

"And you brought Lucas!" Amelia was more surprised in seeing Lucas with Ingrid.

"Grand Elder! I know this may sound too sudden … but we need your help on this!" Ingrid requested for the cooperation of their Grand Elder.

Remy and the other remaining members of the Gorvic Coven became curious at the request of Ingrid.

"What kind of help you need? And what are you doing here? Aren't you tasked to remain in the castle of King Lionel?" Remy interrogated Ingrid.

"I begged Antoin to let me accompany Lucas without the knowledge of our king. It is better to accompany Lucas than let him on his own. Which convinced him immediately. And of course, with the help of Caroline, her ability to summon trajectory which is kind of similar to your illusion ability … Grand Elder! So, you do not have to worry about the king looking for me." Ingrid explained herself.

"You did not answer my other questions!" Remy pointed out their main concern.

Both Lucas and Ingrid exchanged eye contact.

"Well … we want to take down the new chosen one!" Ingrid revealed.

"It will be impossible now!" Amelia regretfully declined Ingrid.

"Why impossible, Grand Elder?" Ingrid and Lucas was confused at the reply of the vampire Grand Elder.

"Because she is more powerful than ever. And her powers are amplified. She is equally match with the king of vampires. Actually … even more powerful now!" Amelia elaborated the difference of their powers.

She continued, "Even we work together, there is no way we can defeat her."

"There is a way! We have a weapon that was made to specifically defeat her. No matter how strong and powerful she has become, all we need is to stab it on her chest." Lucas convinced Amelia to join forces with them.

Just in few moments, it piqued the interest of Remy and Amelia.

"What weapon is this?" Amelia conveyed her curiosity.

"A special weapon made by the fairies. Designed to bring my younger sister back to her usual self." Lucas disclosed the details about the weapon which was explained by Booth before they separated ways.

"Help us, Grand Elder! This is not the version of the supreme ruler we want to serve. We can choose to serve the better version of her. Not this one!" Ingrid continued persuading the Grand Elder to help them.

Upon hearing the possibility of defeating Malia, Remy stepped forward and volunteered herself.

"We may lack with enough numbers to help you. But I will lend you my support." Remy remarked.

Remy saw the wondering expression of Ingrid, so she continued in her remarks.

"Our new -Supreme Ruler- ordered them to transport some of our resources to our new allies. As a leverage for the support of other vampire covens."

Then, Ingrid looked at Amelia if she would help them as well.

"Grand Elder …" Ingrid looked at their Grand Elder with a desperate look in her eyes.

"I think this is our only chance to stop her dark streak. This version of her is far worse than King Lionel. Even though, we defeat the vampire king. We will have no other chance in defeating her if we let this opportunity go to waste." Remy gave a more convincing appeal to their Grand Elder.

And it made Amelia ponder on the consequences of their decisions.

"Okay! But we will need a great plan in going against her. We must make sure to succeed or else … our lives will be snuffed by her darkness." Amelia reminded Ingrid and Lucas.

"Don't worry, we have a plan!" Ingrid was confident with the addition of their Grand Elder in taking down Malia.

"This is great! All we need to do now is …" Lucas began explaining to Amelia and the others regarding their entire plan in defeating the darker version of the younger sister of Lucas.

…

…

On the other hand, while they were planning.

The group of Booth were on standby waiting at the tunnel.

"That female vampire said, we have to wait for someone to fetch us here. Before we proceed in taking down Malia." Booth told Freddie.

Stopping him from going somewhere else.

Clenching his fist in impatience.

"I swear to God, patience is something I hardly excel at." Freddie admitted in lacking patience.

…

The night ahead becomes more uncertain.

…

An ominous feeling started to alarm Malia.

"I can sense some danger approaching my way." Malia smiled wickedly as she prepare herself as well.
