Chapter 220

September 13, 2005 Erik entered the bathroom to shower as Coralis walked out of it. Following their meeting the previous night, Sebastian and Stephanie returned home, and Gus went with them.“You missed the morning news report when you were in the shower, but I’m sure it’s gonna be talked about all week,” said Frank, giving her a cup of coffee while kissing her.“That’s an understatement,” said Samantha.“What did I miss?”“The end of the hunt as we know it,” said Henry.“SERIOUSLY?”“Yes, seriously. At least in this country. They announced the end of the witch-hunt here, but like in the European Union, witchcraft, as per their definition, is still illegal,” said Frank.“As per their definition? You mean the act of summoning demons, or is there more to it?” said Coralis.“The act of summoning demons, which always was punishable by death when caught by your people, any activities aimed to take possession and control someone else’s soul,” said Frank, with his arms wrapped around her.“W

September 14, 2005“That was quite the day,” said Erik, grabbing a few beers out of the refrigerator and distributing them to the others after Frank closed the door behind them.“We knew the fight wasn’t over, I was talking about that with the shadows just before Solek called,” said Coralis, removing her cloak soaked in blood.“Are you guys hungry? I’ll order you food if you are,” said Frank.“I could eat,” said Rickozi.“Wait, so I don’t need to find the nearest hub to grab food at 3 in the morning?” said Chiwa, washing the blood off her hands over the kitchen sink.“Nah, food will come to you. Some places are open and deliver all day and all night,” said Frank, watching Coralis cleaning her katana.“Our response time was quick, even with a quick stop to grab weapons and tools. The vampires are a faction the CMMA needed to make amend with, so today’s event will also serve to prove the need for this reform,” said Panjik.“True. I’m sure Charlie will call me about it.

Chapter 222

September 15, 2005 – 7:30Coralis and her Head Crew slept at their headquarters that night. The property had two subbasements. In the northeast corner of the first basement, which was to become their war room, they lined up their sleeping bags, and in the room next to it, they set up a portable shower and toilet. They had a portable toilet outside for their workers, but neither of them wanted to walk outside to use it.While she was putting her sleeping bag away, Frank messaged her to let her know he arrived with his mother, sister and brother, and that they were outside the fence.“Breakfast is here!” said Coralis, leaving the room with Sebastian.“Oh good, I need coffee,” said Chiwa.Coralis delicately unlocked the front door and saw Stephanie and Molly standing across the protective fence, Frank and Raymond laughing behind them.“I will admit when I heard that you bought an abandoned building, and thank you, for the liquor, I didn’t know what to expect, but I certainly was not expec

September 15, 2005 – 8:45“Frizzo told me to handle him as I please,” said Coralis.“Ooh that archaic custom,” said Gus.“You may not have worked for us officially, but you were found justified to have initiated a fight against an elder leading to his death, which made you eligible to take over his position. Frizzo told you to do as you please with Ylkyo before releasing his hold on you and before Glorisse released hers on Ylkyo, but you had started a fight against him before the elders restrained you both to talk,” said Panjik.“If Frizzo and Glorisse were there, they could have taken him into custody. They knew Blue was going to kill Ylkyo the moment they released their hold on her,” said Ralphonse.“Indeed, and she even broke through Frizzo's restraining spell once. The elders could have used Ylkyo's death to make her take the role without much of a justification and from what I heard, they were planning on pulling that card had she refused,” said Panjik.“It’s one of our most obscu

Chapter 224 - Conclusion

September 15, 2005 – 11:30“If you see my branding bleeding, don’t worry about it and ignore it. Please don’t act surprised,” said Coralis to Sebastian.“I’ll try to discreetly turn the blood invisible to make sure it’s not caught by the transmitter lens if it bleeds.”Coralis took a deep breath to steel herself for the pain about to come and pressed the casting iron below Sonylla’s left ear. The pain was worse than she thought it’d be, but she forced herself to ignore it. Without closing her eyes, Sonylla focused on the spot Coralis was branding and pushed healing energy toward her twinning partner, feeling the echoing pain on top of hers.“General Sonylla, that's awesome,” whispered Rickozi, bumping fist with Swuma.“Much better than General Tobly,” whispered Swuma.“Your branding turned red but didn’t bleed.”“Holy gods from above, that was quite the incentive to keep liking you,” said Sonylla.“Likewise.”Sonylla got up and joined Sebastian behind Coralis, on his left side.“I have
