"What are you saying Lila? Mira confused with what her whitelighter is trying to convey.
"On that night when the vampire king had force you to carry his spawn, he is not only the one who planted his seed on you.." Lila's revelation shocked the others present.
"What happened that night after I deided kill myself, I wasn't aware, I just wake up in the hospital a day after the lunar eclipse." Mira admitted.
"Yes! you were not aware that in order to complete the consumation, the seed implanted on you must be fully alive. When you personally killed yourself using your own power half of the spawn died with you but, when the moon started to appear your life is restored with an unexplained gift the moon goddess send your mate to complete the life of the spawn breaking it into half that's why you have the twins Alexandra came from the vampire king Maximilian, and Brianna came from your werewolf mate ." Lila reveal.
"Who is my mate?" Althought witches does believe in fated mates they partially believed in the moon goddess among others spirits. Having a werewolf for a mate was another thing because werewolves are so serious thing about their mates it is considered half of thier being is their mates. Some stop existing if they lost their other half.
She always saw Diego as the one who would grow old with her. It is not a matter of romantic relationship but more of a companionship for both of them. Besides she envision that Alethea and Diego will be by her side on her personal mission of regaining Indigo paradise for the sake of her parents and the other witches like her to regain back their rightful place, and home.
"The only thing I knew was he is the son of the ousted alpha , who refuses to surrender to the alpha who killed his father in a treacherous surprised attack." Lila replied.
"What happened to my third child?" Mira finally asked.
"In time you will meet her, it is destined that they will be reunited.to shed light on this and to complete their mission."Lila said.
"Do you mean that there is really a third child. They are triplets." Alethea was perplexed.
"Yes! Cassie is with the other witches that survive the attack. She is being prepared and trained to regained Indigo Paradise." Lila said to which Mira let loose of her anger of being separated with her baby.
"It was you who took my baby?" Mira building up her rage at the thought.for the times she miss her small and fragile baby, and the times she wasn't the one who takes care of her, and raise her.
"I'm sorry Mita I have to do that it was my mission to give her the chance to survive considering she had powerful siblings that might endanger her chance of survival." Lila said."Where is my third child? You had taken away from me the decision to decide for them as their mother!" Mira was distraught with what she had learned.
"You don't understand, she had to be separated from her other siblings for her to survive. But don't worry she is aware of you and her sisters existence. But she had her own mission to fulfill before she will be ready to introduce herself to all of you." Lila declared.
"Am I supposed to be happy and contented with what you are telling me Lila? I thought you were my friend and yet you hide it from me!" For the first time, they had witnessed the wrath that Mira was able to release. Lila's quick evading the firewall that Mira send her way. Burning the wall where it landed.
" I'm sorry Mira I have only your safety and good intentions at heart. I am willing to accept what punishment you give after Cassie will be able to complete her mission." Lila remorsefully said.
"And before that I am vanishing you from my life! I don't want to see you if you won't present my daughter to me." With that Mira chanted a spell that made Lila disappeared.on an instant.
Diego and Alethea mouths hanged open. They never thought that the time will come that Mira the good natured patient and compassionate Mira will be able to get as furious as this to the point of removing her companion and friend for most of her life to leave her side.They also realized the extend of her power. She wasn't the princess of the white witches for nothing.
Meanwhile, the news of the twins reach Maximilian.
"Who are this creatures. who stopped you from killing that hunters son?" Max is in rage with the failure of his men to eradicated the group of hunman who are witch hunters and vampire slayers. He had lost a considerable number of vampires because of this human group who are good fighters and slayer's of his race.
"We don't know your highness, they look like they are twins but they have different abilities, one is very strong and one is very fast just like us!" One of the vampire who fought with the twins replied.
"What do you mean just like us?" Max become interested with what he heard.
"Yes your highness, at first the kids were bickering because the other one wants to have the son of the slayer who we chase. We almost got him but the twins stopped us and fought with us the other one eyes turn red , while the other was yellowish they have fangs!" The vampire brelating the news got excited.
"What happened to the son of the slayer? How come a twelve year old boy or so had beaten you?" He is baffled with the identity of the twins but he is even annoyed that the mere human son of the slayer was able to ge away from his men.
"He is well trained he even killed two of us , but he was send by his father away, who got killed during the fight. If not because of those two girls we will also be able to present his blood to you. Our king."
"Imbeciles! Do you think I would be happy with your news! You will be punished!" The king yelled.
" But your highness we did our best give us a chance to recover from our mistakes." They feared their punishment it will be expose to the sun without protection it's either they die or their skin will burn and the blisters will stay for a while until they will be able to suck blood from younger humans, depending on the lenght of the exposure. But together with the exposure from the sun their punishment include fasting from drimking blood.
"Take them away! Let them realized what a grave mistake and embarrassment they brought by allowing some of those slayer escape allowing them to regroup and comes back in the future to slay us! "
But Max alone sitting in his throne thinks of the twins that his vampire recounted. Some how his mind came to dwell on Mira who once more disappeared just when he realized that she had survive the night of the total lunar eclipse.
As soon as Lila post this problem the alarm sounded. an attack at the northern border was noted. "I thought we will be at peace once we return victorious?" Cassie retorted. " There are just some old scores we have to settle to achieve lasting peace. There will be no short cut to it." The queen said. " I will face the enemies once and for all. She added.Thalia with the Warlock Lucius, with their men come face to face with the witches lead by queen Inah and her granddaughters "What do you want Lucius? " Queen Inah begun. " I have heard that the triplets successfully conquered the mountain of the rock statues." Lucius said. " I am amazed how the news travels so fast. They have not even warm their seats and then here you are. Go straight to the point Lucius, what do you seek. " The queen challenged. " I came to seek recognition for being their grandfather, and for the times you had me fooled believing in your blackmail I deserved justice." Lucius cockily declared. "Recognit
" Something is wrong why it still glowing?" The triplets are in panic something, they must find for that something to fit in that glowing hole on the altar. Then out of the blue they heard voices."Did you think that you will be able to get out of this victorious? Ha ha ha.... !" One voice said mockingly."Your ancestors had made grave sins against us and you carry the burden of their mistake. Ha ha ha... !" Another one said." Each one of you had made a selfish and grave sin against each other that you don't deserve to get out of here victorious unless you admitted your sins to cleanse you soul! " "Come on girls look inside your soul try to think what have you done! " Mira urged. " That includes you Mira! Ha ha ha ...! Did you think you have a pure soul? Only people with pure soul get out of here! " They all started to look for the most selfish things they have done. " I'm so sorry, I tried to kill myself after the vampire king had planted his seed on me . To prevent myself to
They spend their waking hours planning their time to coincide with the movement of the sun, the peak hours was at midday, where nothing can stand the heat and the whole area is turn to a vast wasteland."We will start at the break of dawn to take down those rock statues and try to reach the entrance for what is waiting for us there." Cassie said. Brianna counted the gemstones they gathered they were short compared to the numbers of rock statues."How sure are you that we are short Anna? Alexandra asked."I counted the statues I saw when I flew aboard bigbird with the bird people gathering food." She replied. "... And it doesn't include the others I didn't see considering we only fly up to where the rays of the sun doesn't touch us." She added."Then we have to make every gems count." Alexandra suggested."Yes you're right Andra, so we will divide the gemstones to our selves and try find alternatives to combat them, for example using our own power of the amulets, maybe we can als
When the triplet arrived at the foot of the highest peak of the mountain range, they were in awe with the view."Wow! It is so nice here as if we can touch the sky and we can see the whole area as far as our eyes can travel. " it was in the late afternoon that they landed after travelling for almost the whole daylight. The sun is on the other side of the mountain. Giving them the illumination from the reflection from the sky without see the sun itself. "Do you observe what I see? " Cassie asked her sisters " What is it Cassie?" Alexandra asked while Brianna turn her attention the vegetation around."The grasses and the plants around grows so fast." Cassie said." That's because during the early morning toward the early afternoon when the sun touches this part the earth the grasses dried up from the intense heat. It grows so fast when it was late in the afternoon towards the early early evening, and freezes during the night to kill it with it's intense cold." Brianna explain afte
"What the...?" Immediately the resting Alexandra reacted sending her bolts of lightning to pulverized the stones, while Cassie send her wind power to send away the pebbles and sands to prevent it to fall on them. Brianna mounted the bird to get an overview of their enemy. She immediately communicated though mindlink of her observation. "Brianna attack from the air! Alexandra defend from the ground! Momoo and will lauched an offensive from the ground to confused him. "Cassie directed her sisters.They fought the creature for a while, and the triplets ibeginning to get tired Brianna trade places with Cassie her crossbow is more effective when she get a better view of the creature.The creature also begun to become weary but his body was hard as rocks, his hand send stones flying in their direction use their shield to protect them , but it cause their attacks to be ineffective against the giant creature.Alexandra thought of a strategy to gain advantage to their enemy.

"I said that your powers are useless on the first mountain we cross . How was I to know will be activated here." He tried to explained. " So that means you never get this far before, or what I should say that you don't have information about this mountain. " Cassie inquired.evidently very much annoyed. " And I might add all the things you said about this is either lies or wild guesses?" Brianna seconded. Also much livid." I'm sorry, in my attempt to make sure you succeed I told you stories that are not proven but believe me I have the best interest for the majority, at heart." Deo wasn't able to deny what he is accused of, but he sugarcoat his admission to be able to gain favors from the triplets or at least have their sympathy."And I guess, that majority doesn't include us. You were just a liability to us." Brianna controlling her anger added. "... And to think you have fooled me eversince we met, I have defended you from my sisters, I choose to go back for you instead of m
