Aurelius studied the dagger carefully before he turned towards his oldest son. "Yes, this is Hadrian's dagger," he explained. Elderon looked at his father carefully. "So Cedric's plan is to turn Gwydion into the Dark One," he said, "But how?," Samira looked at her husband worriedly and Melinda gently put her hands on Gwydion's shoulders. "The only way is to conjure the Dark One's darkness itself," Aurelius explained. Melinda looked at the wizard confused. "How?," she asked. Aurelius shook his head. "I don't know," he admitted and Melinda sighed deeply. Gwydion looked up at his wife and softly kissed her hand. "But how is planning to turn me into the Dark One?," he asked, "I won't become it willingly, he knows that," Aurelius sighed and looked at his son. "The darkness must be bound to a person to be contained. He must be planning to tatter the darkness to you," he explained and Samira looked at her husband. "How do we stop him, Aurelius?," she asked worriedly. Aurelius sighed deeply and looked at his wife. "That's the problem," he said, "I don't think we can stop it," And Gwydion swallowed and glanced aside and saw Christian's spirit sitting and watching them. This time, he couldn't escape the darkness.

Cedric stood at his magic well and started pronouncing a spell in the darkness language and a great force of darkness appeared before him. "Find Gwydion Darkeast!," he whispered in command, "And consume him!," And the force of darkness flew away and disappeared into the night.
