Rey and Lucius looked at each other as they tried to make sense of all they had discovered. It made little sense to Rey; Past Lives, prophecies and mages of dark magic. It all sounded like a dream to Rey, one that she really wanted to wake up from. She had not signed up for any of this and she felt overwhelmed. But she somehow felt that she was where she needed to be.

"What if I can't do this", Rey asked.

Lucius turned to her as he very quickly sensed her self doubt. He walked up to her and smiled. "I am sure that you can, you are strong and powerful and you have me"

"I know, but sometimes all this feels so weird like I am in a dream", Rey replied with a sigh.

"You have to hang in there for me, for Luna and for all who have no choice", Lucius said as he reassured her.

I've spent eons in the dark realms, and my powers have grown beyond your feeble comprehension."Deucalion, maintaining a facade of defiance, questioned, "What dark realms have you ventured into, and what did you see in the dark realm?""This world is but only a fraction of existence.

    "A hunch?'", Argon said. "You making fun of me?""No I really did follow my hunch because the force that awaited my company at the black sea was too small.They also didn't put up a proper resistance and it didn't help that their leader withdrew early from the battlefield. So I figured that the most plausible reason In such a case was that this location will become ground zero for a major conflict so I decided to mount the corpses of the dead and send them after Deucalion. By now Deucalion would have figured out that he got played and he would have realised that your forces are going to be decimated.", Lucius replied. "You are indeed full of surprises, I would never have imagined such an outcome to this battle. You both are truly impressive and have my commendation.

    "So my question to you really is what kind of man are you?", Lucius asked."Well, there is only one way to find out Lucius.

    Magnus and his company had arrived at the kesk region, it was a relatively poor area with a massive amount of humans and low bloods."What do you think?", Genos asked Magnus."We shall stay here until further notice.
