This sensation was truly disconcerting ... a mixture of excruciating burning pain, but soon after becoming tolerable and almost pleasant ... and above all, this power that Mathias now felt in him, flowing through his veins, permeating him forever in every bit of his flesh and bones ... the Derune legacy, after several generations of sleep, had finally awakened.

Surrounded by his flames which he managed to manipulate by telekinesis, with an ease as if it were innate, Mathias managed to keep control of himself, although it was more than difficult.

Alcina's winged form came to rest on the ground, and the Countess, having also managed to regain control of her body and her will, ran to the young man.

_ "Mathias!" she said with a smile filled with hope she never thought she would ever see again.

Mathias smiled at her, opening the circle of flames to let her approach, and the two of them hugged forcefully and their lips even met for a very short but heartfelt kiss. Each thought they would never see the other again, but they were now reunited.

_ "I thought I had lost you forever ... I had lost all hope and I let anger take hold of me ... I'm sorry that you saw me like this ..." said Alcina with tenderness towards her lover.

_ "You managed to come back, that's all that matters to me ..." Mathias answered smiling. "It would rather be up to me to be forgiven. You wanted to send me away from here to protect me, but I chose to come back for you, even if it means putting myself in danger ..."

Alcina listened to him but could not blame Mathias for this gesture. It was the very first time that someone had shown such a sacrifice for her. But suddenly the couple heard a cold sneer coming from Miranda's mouth, who continued to levitate in the air a dozen yards from them, surrounded by the huge, sprawling mold roots sticking out of the ground. Side by side, Mathias and Alcina looked at her with contempt.

_ "Oh, how adorable ..." Miranda commented with sly, not hidden irony, "... the last heirs Derune and Dimitrescu, bound by a sincere and powerful love, but gathered here to die together."

_ "You will not touch my beloved again!" Alcina growled firmly, bracing her long claws again.

_ "We are two against one. Give up, Miranda!" Mathias said in turn, his reptilian eyes shining and preparing the flames he manipulated with his mutant power.

At these sentences, Miranda snickered again and waved her hand. Behind her, the huge columns of mold shattered in a concert of torn flesh. From the slimy black flesh came dozens of new lycans, who barely opening their eyes roared in unison and came behind Miranda to form a new army. Alcina and Mathias, who hadn't foreseen this, swallowed but chose to stay in their places and face.

_ "Two against one, really?" Miranda joked coldly, supported by her newly created troops.

The Lycans were very numerous, and despite their combined strength, Alcina and Mathias doubted they could kill them all without losing their lives. Was this the end? Had Miranda won?

But suddenly, a huge mechanical roar tore the night apart, and Mathias and Alcina, just like Miranda and the Lycans, were surprised to see the enormous mutant form, made up of flesh and metal, of Heisenberg arrive after a masterful and overwhelming leap on the ground which trembled, a few meters from the couple who joined him then.

_ "Surprise, motherfuckers!" Karl laughed in his monstrous voice.

_ "Heisenberg ?! I knew a few Lycans wouldn't be enough to stop you." Lady Dimitrescu said without smiling, but for the first time, happy to see him come to the aid.

_ "There won't be too many three to stop Miranda." Mathias added, also happy to see new help coming.

_ "Three? Oh, I'm not so sure boy ... I also invited a few friends of mine to end the party on a high note." Heisenberg sneered, pointing behind him. Looking then in the direction indicated, Mathias and Alcina showed expressions both surprised but reassured.
