[-In the Aquarium Theater-]

The floor was a little bit flooded from the water of aquarium.

Though, as time passed by, it dissipated.

Broken shards of glasses were all over the wet floor.

Unconscious humans were scattered all over the place.

Lucas stepped away from Selene and Melody.

Per Selene's instruction.

Giving her ample space to perform the intended magic for the completion of Melody's evolution without going through sacrificing innocent lives.

While watching his younger sister gather enough magical energy to save Melody's life.

He began to ponder if it was right to put her sister in such situation.

…

Would Melody be happy knowing Selene was the sacrifice of her salvation?

…

Was it right to be selfish once more?

…

What would happen to Selene after saving Melody?

…

Will there be another monster that will re-emerge within Selene?

…

If Selene dies, is he prepared to lose a sister in exchange for his mate?

…

Finally, he realized how wrong it was to corner Selene emotionally. Not considering of the consequences and what she would feel.

…

#_Ancient Incantation_#

Lucas could not understand the ancient incantation which Selene uttered before the water began to surround his younger sister and his beloved mate.

When he was about to approach Selene, water surrounded Selene and Melody.

All the water around the room was gathered.

Circling around Selene and Melody.

Selene's eyes gleamed bright white.

…

Light were released from Selene's palm.

Forcing Melody to transform completely.

At the same time, restricting her movements.

Immobilizing her while transforming.

Before they went to the Aquarium Theater, Selene initially planned to hinder the process of transformation.

She intended to bring Melody to Magdeline so they could find an alternative way of saving Melody.

Unexpectedly, the powers of Melody grew stronger and proved to be more difficult to handle.

Thus, Selene prefer not to take a risk of harming or putting innocent lives in danger.

Deciding to endanger her own life rather than others.

…

Using her life source again … as her source for the massive magical essence needed in the execution of her plans.

Linking her own magical essence with Melody's.

In order to manipulate Melody's transformation while restricting her within the huge water bubble.

This allows her to take command in Melody's transformation.

Glistening scales emerged all over Melody's skin.

From her head to toe.

Melody's legs began to fuse into a huge turquoise siren's tail.

Fins appeared from her siren's tail.

Gill slits became evident on her ribs.

A Pectoralis Major covered her breasts, a thick fan-like shaped muscle which was situated at the exterior part of her chest. Serves as her exterior armor.

Lastly, another gill slits appeared on her neck which serves as her voice box.

[][]_Transformation Complete!_[][]

…

Despite the massive energy released for the spell which Selene has casted, she was not yet done.

The last phase of Melody's evolution has to be done before Melody can mature.

…

*** Final Phase: Feeding Ceremony ***

…

Melody awoken and she has transformed completely.

The binding spell that keeps Melody immobilized gleamed brightly.

…

Preventing her to move.

But Melody shrieked loudly for an attempt to escape.

Rendering the ear plugs useless.

Her powers were extremely amplified after her complete transformation.

…

Even Lucas covered his ears.

…

Unfortunately for Selene, Melody resisted the effects of the binding spell that restricted her movements.

…

Selene wanted to avoid using dark magic.

Initially, she only intended to use her own life force to save Melody.

But now, she must use dark magic to complete Melody's evolution without harming innocent lives.

…

Exactly when Selene was about to access her dark magic, a voice within appeared.

'NO!'

'STOP!'

'DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!'

…

A familiar voice appeared within her mind.

'ONCE A FOOLISH! WILL ALWAYS BE A FOOLISH!'

…

Then it struck Selene.

'SYLVIA!'

'SYLVIA!'

'IS THAT YOU?!?!'

…

At first there was no answer, then the spirit wolf of Selene re-appeared within her.

'Yes, it's me! The one and only!' Selene's spirit wolf replied.

…

'I MISSED YOU GIRL!' Selene was emotional upon hearing her spirit wolf's voice.

'Reunion later, let's finish this risky plan of yours without tapping on to your dark side.'

'How? She is too powerful… I am running out of options here. Unless I use some of my dark magic.'

'I am letting you tap on my spirit force.'

'You mean, your reserved spirit force. Isn't that risky as well?'

'EXACTLY! But it's better than you going dark. I had enough of your stupid decision-making. Instead of going dark, might as well go down with you. Rather than letting you go dark again.'

Selene did not answer her spirit wolf at the mention of her going dark again.

Her spirit wolf continued, 'We better finish this now before that mate of your brother turn us into a snack.'

…

Instantly, Selene tapped into the spirit force of her spirit wolf.

…

Melody swam around the huge water bubble.

Trying to get out but every corner has a strong force field preventing her to escape.

Her attention was diverted to Selene when she purposely cut her hand.

Intentionally gaining Melody's attention.

Then when Melody decided to attack Selene, she suddenly got constricted with powerful binding spell.

Muting her voice was Selene's next move.

…

Melody was struggling and desperately trying to release herself.

…

Through the cut of Selene's hand, she released more of her blood and manipulated its direction towards Melody.

Aimed at her mouth.

Once her blood started traveling towards Melody's mouth, the siren stopped struggling.

She accepted the blood transfer.

Allowing Selene to feed Melody with her own blood.

…

Lucas finally understood the risk of it all.

Not just depleting Selene's magic essence and her life force.

But her own blood as well.

The feeding ceremony won't be completed until the siren satisfies her hunger for blood.

…

"SELENE!" Lucas finally realized what her sister was doing.

Understanding the risk of it all just to save his own mate.

…

Within the huge water bubble, Selene was doing her best to complete Melody's evolution.

Not only her blood was being transferred and fed unto Melody, but her life force as well.

Selene's vision began to fade.

'W-Whhaaat's happening?'

'What do you expect my dear? Magic doesn't come free. It will always have risk and a price to pay. And it looks like … we are both going to …'

Sylvia did not finish her word because Selene lost consciousness.

…

And before she lost her consciousness, Melody was starting to regain her own rational mind.

Sharp crown grew from her forehead.

Then an ancient crest appeared in between her collar bone.

…

The sight of Selene passing out made her want to go to her.

But the huge water bubble burst.

Releasing Selene and Melody in her siren form.

…

Lucas caught Melody just in time before she landed on the floor.

…

"I got you!" Lucas told Melody.

Completely wet from the water, he remained firm with his grip on Melody.

"You're here …" Melody uttered in surprise.

She did not expect to see Lucas.

"I told you … I will always be here for you!" Lucas professed to Melody.

Those exact words reminded her of Selene.

Promises of Selene to her, 'I will always be here for you... no matter how far the distance!'

"SELENE!" Melody became concern for Selene more than her appearance and current condition.

Lucas placed Melody safely down.

Before he went to check on his sister.

Unlike Melody, no one caught Selene.

She fell to the ground while unconscious.

"This can't be happening!" Lucas checked her pulse.

Her pulse was barely existing.

...

...

Until there was none.

...

...

Panic ensued again.

He couldn't think straight.

"What did I do?"

Melody yelled at Lucas. Realizing something was wrong with Selene.

"DO SOMETHING!"

"I don't know what to do?"

"TELEPORT US TO THAT WITCH FRIEND OF SELENE!"

Suddenly, it dawned on Lucas about the reminder of Chloe to him.

…

*** Brief Flashback ***

"If ever Selene does something careless again and you need my help … use her magic to find me because our magic essence is linked then combine it with yours. I may not sense her, but your magic essence and hers can bring you to me. Since I am letting you have an access to my magic essence." Chloe instructed Lucas.

"Meaning, I can teleport to wherever you are?" Lucas clarified.

"Yes!"

*** End of Flashback ***

…

Without wasting any time.

Lucas carried his younger sister and went to his mate.

Bringing two individuals with him.

…

He began to perform the spell to teleport wherever Chloe was.

…

"PLEASE! DON'T DIE … MY LOVING SISTER!"

…
