At Junkyu's room in Dara's castle, Land of Nasub...

"Junkyu!" Dara barges in the door and saw Junkyu sitting on his bed, staring at her.

"'Mistress." He said innocently. "I already know." He smiled.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Kyu." Dara hurriedly goes to him. "How are you? Are you hurt? Have they already entered here?" Dara is checking for any wounds at Junkyu, with a slight panic on her actions.

"No, Mistress. I'm okay. I'm fine. No need to worry." Junkyu replied calmly.

"Thank goodness." Dara calm down. "I just don't want you to be involved in this battle."

"Are they coming after me?" Kyu asked and Dara nodded.

"It is Jeongwoo. He already knows you are here and he brought thousands of vampire armies. The town has already fallen. The castle is already the last place standing. But sooner, this place may be..." Dara lost her words as she falls into tears.

Junkyu frowned into sadness. He knows he can't do anything anymore with the situation. No matter how he thinks that he can help, he knows that defeat is already looming at hand.

"And what about the others? What about my unnies? Hyunsuk? Yedam? Yoshi?... and... Jihoon?" Kyu asked but Dara can only answer in tears.

Kyu was all the more saddened. He hugs Dara to comfort her, and after a while, Dara looks at him.

"But... there is still one more thing that I can do. Nasub may fall but they will never get their hands on you, Kyu." Dara said.

Junkyu nodded. "I understand, Mistress. What is it that I can help?"

"No. It is up to me to cast this protection spell. You just have to stay here and don't you ever go outside."

"And what about you, Mistress? Aren't you going to stay here also?" Junkyu looks worried.

Dara wipes her tears and smiles. "All will be fine, Kyu. You just have to believe. I will protect this castle at all cost. Even if it will cost my life."

Junkyu heaved a big sigh of relief. He knows that Dara already made up her mind and that there is nothing he can do about it. He remembered what Junhee told him to just follow what Dara will command.

Dara stands up and goes outside the door. "I will cast now the protection spell, Kyu."

"Mistress..." Junkyu cried. He knows this will be the last time he will ever see Dara again.

"I summoned the power of the fifth element." Dara uttered and a powerful force has entered the room. Junkyu felt such tremendous energy. It felt superior compared to the other four elements. It is somehow a life force.

"From the energy that breathes life... from the aura that creates the moons and the stars... from the force that moves the mountains and the waves... I harness the element that guides and guards all the living... the life force element, Quintessence!" Dara continued and smiled. "You have grown up to a fine, young man, Kyu. I have witnessed how you grow each day. Protect the good that is inside you. Protect that ones you loved. Love conquers everything, even the most corrupt and vile heart."
