Karen.

　　"Hand over the Tribrid," Cade demanded with a thick voice, but I shook my head.

　　"No! You got what you want so leave us alone!" I yelled at them and the man scoffed.

　　"Oh. Our plan is not halfway finished," he said with a mischievous grin.

　　What the heck did they want again??

　　"We don't care about the plans you have, you're not laying your hands on my son!" Kaden yelled at them.

　　"You don't really have much of a choice," Mor said and faced the man who asked me to hand over Draco.

　　"Cade." Mor nodded and the man stretched out his hands. I moved back slowly as I watched a neat crack on the ground move from the altar towards us rapidly. The crack ran at both sides of the ground and passed through where I was standing. Immediately, the cracked part of the ground rolled up in the air with me standing on it and I could feel the earth pulling me towards them.

　　Kaden immediately ran forward and he grabbed my hand, pulling me off the elevated ground.

　　I sighed as I stood on the normal floor. Suddenly, I saw a large bow appear in the hand of the third man reach for his back and pulled out an arrow out of nowhere.

　　Swiftly, he fired two arrows and I watched as the two of them pierced Kaden shoulder and pin him to the thick ice wall at the Cave's entrance.

　　"The Elemental twins, the Archer, and the Mages," I heard Garr mutter quietly and I faced him.

　　"I know who you are," he said loudly and I saw him signal Selena with his hands behind his back.

　　Who were they?

　　"Say it." The lady who manipulated ice earlier said with a smirk.

　　"You're from the ancient Kraken Clan. You're the Five," Garr said and I stared at him not knowing anything about the name he just mentioned.

　　"The Five?" I asked.

　　"Yes, The Five." I looked forward to see Mor smiling mischievously.

　　"It's indeed satisfying to know that we still remain remembered," Mor added and smirked.

　　"One wouldn't expect less from a Griffin Mage," the woman standing next to Mor said.

　　"Why are you back? What do you want?!" I asked on top of my voice trying to distract them as Garr had signalled Selena to create a teleportation spell. Like a portal, but it took more magic. The good thing was that it didn't require all the magical display that would make them aware.

　　"I think he should be able to answer that," Cade pointed at Garr.

　　I looked over my shoulder and saw Lucas go to Kaden and remove the rocks pinning his shoulder to the ice wall.

　　"I know what they want, but the question is why did all the other ancestors allow them to be the ones to come through," Garr said and I was even more curious about what they really wanted to do.

　　"They realized that our goal was important afterall and we need to purge the world of monsters," Mor replied and I still had no idea about what they were talking about.

　　"Garr, what do they want to do?" I asked, unable to contain my curiosity any longer.

　　"They are going to rid the world of other supernaturals," Garr said and my eyes widened in shock.

　　"What?!" Kaden exclaimed.

　　"They're going to like kill every Vampire, Werewolf, and all others?" I asked.

　　"No, they're going to turn anyone who's not a Mage human," Garr replied.

　　H.....How was that even going to be possible? How can they do that.

　　"And then, the Tribrid has to die to secure the future," the woman with the ice added.

　　"Elektrumxita!" Selena suddenly chanted loudly and instantly, a bright blinding light filled the cave.

　　***

　　I stirred out of sleep and opened my eyes slowly. I looked around and I saw that I was lying on a bed in a cold dark room. I sat up on the bed and looked around I'm confusion.

　　I climbed down from the bed and as soon as my feets touched the ground, the room I was in faded into a large, open meadow.

　　The sun was shining and there were no clouds in the sky.

　　The smell of freshly cut grass drifted across the meadow with the clippings scattered over the turf. The branches of the giant oak tree swayed to and fro in the wind, shaking the leaves, so they fell like raindrops, their green color fading and replaced by patches of brown.

　　The meadow was spacious, with a collection of trees and bushes guarding the perimeter.

　　I noticed a swift movement behind me and I quickly turned around, but there was no one there.

　　I felt a shiver in my skin as fear crawled beneath it and I folded my arms against each other, rubbing it.

　　Where was I and what the hell was happening? How did I get here?

　　"Karen." I heard a voice call me and I turned around. There was a bright blinding blue light up ahead and I raised my hands to my eyes to protect my eyes from the bright light.

　　I slowly walked towards it out of curiosity and the light slowly dimmed, revealing a figure.

　　"Mom," I muttered as I saw my mom appear out of the light. What's happening here? My mom was dead.

　　"Karen," she said, walking towards me with a light smile.

　　"H...How........ how are you here?" I asked out of curiosity. I don't understand what was happening and that curiosity and feeling of ignorance was taking the place of the happiness I should be feeling right now for seeing my mom.

　　"Karen, don't forget what I told you," she said and I tucked a strand of my hair that blocked my face behind my hair.

　　I still remembered what she told me when she was dying. She wanted me to find a man called Magnus.

　　"Yes mom," I affirmed with a nod.

　　"But I need an explanation. Who is Magnus? Why do you want me to find him? And wherr can I find him?" I asked, hoping that she'd give me the answers to my questions.

　　"And where am I?" I asked, taking a look around and rubbed my arms together. I couldn't help the eerie feeling and fear crawling beneath my skin.

　　"You can find Magnus on Earth of the second plane," she said and I stared at her with wide open eyes.

　　Plane? Earth? Another Earth?

　　"Mom-"

　　She interrupted me and held my hand, "and Karen, you need to protect your child. You need to protect Draco," she said with pleading eyes.

　　My child? Draco?

　　I saw a dep fog appear behind her with the bright blue light shining from within it.

　　"Mom, what are you saying? I don't-"

　　She interrupted me again, "Karen you are a-"

　　Suddenly the fog began to pull her towards it and I held on to her hand.

　　"Mom. Mom!" I shouted as she pushed my hand away and let herself get sucked into the fog.

　　I looked up as dark and heavy clouds filled the sky, covering the sun completely.

　　A huge gust of wind began to form and slowly accumulated into a tornado.

　　I began to move backward as the tornado headed my way. I tried to run with my Vampire speed, but I didn't have my powers.

　　I covered my face with my palm as the tornado whirled at me.
