All Chapters of Light & Darkness: Book 1: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Salvadore paced his cave nervously again. Johhan was sitting in his chair, shaking his head in disbelief.- I was sure it was more than a charm. I should be able to tell it apart.- he said as if to himself.- Maybe you're even right about it, but Alistair won't believe you, especially since he saw a change in Damon's behavior when they emerged him from the water. However, in my opinion, he did some theater there. It wasn't honest... It looked as if the water had no effect on him, and Damon was just pretending to Alistair otherwise.- Salvadore replied.- It had to work on him. It works on everybody.- Johhan interjected.- Maybe not on the hybrids?- his brother suggested, still pacing back and forth through the cave.- It works even on Fallen Angels, so it should do on all sorts of hybrids too. The Lake of Darkness has too much power for any creature to resist its effects.- Johhan replied.- Well, I don't understand any of it anymore. That's why we need t

In the evening, Rita returned from her family home, where she was visiting her brother and parents. Alice greeted her on the threshold, and as they sat together on the couch in the living room, she told her about what happened in the afternoon.- Where's Selene?- Rita asked after hearing everything.- In her room. From Selene's thoughts, I know she's very upset, so you'd better stay out of there. She doesn't even want to see her aunt.- Alice replied with a clearly worried expression.- All right. Then I'll look for Damon.- Rita said, walking back outside.The situation was very bad and difficult to solve. Not only did Meredith find out about her niece's affair with the demon, it was also the one who not only wanted to kill Selene, but killed her mother earlier as well. Rita wondered what could be done to somehow alleviate this situation. If nothing is done about it, the whole thing is sure to end in some kind of tragedy. Rita decided she had to find Damon and tal

Alistair couldn't believe what he heard from Johhan. It wasn't until he heard Damon's words on tape that began to feel the fury overwhelming him. Alistair trusted Damon a lot, so he felt the more disappointed in this turn of events.- That damn traitor! Not only did he betray the Underworld, but also me, as I was like a father to him... I took this orphan to the court, not even knowing who his father was and who he would be after growing up... Ah, that damned foundling, he will remember me forever.- said Alistair, pacing back and forth across the room.- He wants to protect her? Okay, let it be, Damon will die with her then.- he added.Johhan and Salvadore watched him, standing in front of the throne. They felt a great deal of satisfaction inside, but of course they could not express it directly.- It's great that you recorded it. It was a bull's eye, irrefutable proof of Damon's guilt.- Salvadore whispered to his brother.- Well, I was very well prepared. Human t

First, Damon patrolled the area around the Monroe family estate, straining all his senses, and when didn't sense even a hint of the presence of demons, he sat down on a tree branch and watched the area. Damon's main goal was now Salvadore. He had never liked this haughty, annoying demon, but when found out that he was the one who had killed Selene's father, hated him even more than usual, and knew very well that Salvadore would not give up and would want to complete the mission at all costs, so Damon had to kill him. Salvadore had always competed with him and certainly wanted to sneak into Alistair's favor now, after all, the game was all about taking over the throne of the Underworld, so he was a very dangerous opponent. Damon knew Salvadore all too well and was sure he would do absolutely everything to achieve his goal.- Now they will probably attack one by one, slowly, sneakily and from hiding. They know there are too many sorceresses in the house, and quite powerful too, t

Chris went to scout the garden of the Monroe family house, while Salvadore and Johhan stayed outside the walls, waiting for news from him. Chris roamed the garden, taking the form of a raven. The silence around surprised him, and nobody patrolled the garden. It was completely empty everywhere.As Chris got closer to the house, he heard voices, and also felt magic emanating from inside the building. In raven form, he easily sat on a branch of a nearby tree and peered into the dining room and saw so many sorceresses and wizards at once for the first time in his life. They were all sitting around the table talking, and Chris was surprised to see that Marco was sitting on the windowsill, staring blankly at some point in the distance, clearly thoughtful. Finally, Chris spread his wings and flew towards the wall, then over it and landed on the pavement, transforming into his human form.- So, what's the situation?- Salvadore asked him, a little flustered.- Everybody's insi
