Zarina woke up. She bolted up awake, waking Amaris up. "Woah, Zarina, what's up?" She asked.
"Stay here. I must go to the shifter world." Zarina said. "No! I'm coming with yo-" "No. Please, not today. Go and stay with Lexer and Akila. Protect them and warn them that the enemies are after them." She said, grabbing her jacket.
Amaris nodded. "Please be careful." She said. "Oh, wait a second." Zarina said, took one necklace with a red pendant. She hovered her hands on it, granting it the power protection to those who wears it. "Go. Give this to Akila. He might need it.." Zarina said and Amaris nodded and took the necklace before running away.
Zarina rushed to the park. As she's on her way there, she gathered so much power. Remembering her friends' faces, she made it her strength. "I will not let you all down. Not anymore." She said to herself.
She walked towards the Lycan entrance and charged towards it.
Her eyes began glowing as she started running towards the Lycan entryway.
As she crossed, she immediately headed to the kingdom. She passed by the small Lycan village and everything seemed normal but when she got into the kingdom's large field, she saw her wounded friends. She hid behind a pillar as she saw Dracyian and Vossler came as they talk.
"Now, I will be king! Everyone will bow to me! And you, Vossler. You'll be my right hand." Dracyian celebrated. Lycan warriors began coming. Apparently, there are only few. "And now, we will strike the humans! They too, shall bow before me!" Dracyian laughed evilly.
He went to the gathered suffering friends and allies of Zarina in the field. Holding the necklace, he said these words. "I can see that all of you are still breathing. It's time that I end all of you for good." Dracyian said, raising the necklace. Zarina felt that he's controlling the necklace's power. Remembering that the necklace is part of her identity, she finally understood that she can control it in any way she wanted, even though it's not in her possession.
As Zarina's friends and allies' faces, along with Delaneia's, began being painted with fear, Zarina held back her power that connects to the necklace, stopping Dracyian from hurting them. Dracyian was confused. "They must die!" He snarled. He once more raised it, attempting to kill all of Zarina's friends and allies.
"Don't dare try. It wont work, you know?" Zarina came out behind the pillar.
"Oh? You decided to come back. Look at my masterpiece!" Dracyian smiled. The Lycans with them shifted, snarling at Zarina. Vossler raised his hand, stopping the snarling Lycans from charging towards Zarina.
Zarina saw small smiles from her friends, so relieved to see her arrive. Zarina also saw Delaneia smile and Zarina is glad. She saw Quamara. Zarina approached the suffering group and held Quamara's bare shoulders. "Did he touch you? Harassed you in any way tonight?" She asked as she remembered that she saw Dracyian approached Quamara before she woke up. Quamara looked at Zarina's eyes and nodded gently.
"What? How did yo-" Dracyian scoffed. "You harassed Quamara?!" Vossler asked, shocked with the sudden information. "N-No! How could-" "Correction, he's been harassing Quamara, all this time. I'm surprised you didn't know." Zarina glaced at the angry Vossler.
Zarina leaned close to Quamara's ear. "Did he...?" Zarina whispered, implying a heavier meaning of what took place with Dracyian's harassment to her. A great relief washes Zarina as Quamara shook her head. "Only t-touches... C-Caresses." Quamara stuttered.
Zarina saw Delaneia, so weakened and helpless. Zarina rushed to her and cradled her in her arms. "You heard me right? Before I come here?" Zarina whispered softly. Delaneia nodded. "T... Thank you... I'm... so... so sorry..." She struggled to breathe. Zarina hugged Delaneia. "Don't worry anymore. I'm here. But Delaneia... did he...?" She whispered. Zarina felt hot tears on her shoulder, coming from Delaneia. "A... All the way through. I... I trusted him... and... and-" She cried. Zarina clenched her fist. "Shh... He'll pay. I will make sure he will pay!" Zarina held Delaneia and touched her forehead with hers and gently placed Delaneia down.
