Good News of the Blood Moon

Myx and Rowena sat by the fireplace in the castle's large hall. The rustle of the flames was the only sound in the room, both deep in thought. Engfa's dream was on both of their minds. Myx stared into the fire with a look of slight concern on his face, while Rowena tried to calmly gather her thoughts.

"Myx," Rowena said, not taking her eyes off the flames, "we have not yet figured out the exact meaning of this dream. Some of our sages interpret it as a sign of awakening, while others see it as a harbinger of disaster."

Myx nodded, taking a deep breath. "Everything is mixed up, Grandma. Engfa's fears in his dream... his bond with Charlotte... If this seal were to truly cause a disaster, the consequences could be huge."

Rowena nodded solemnly. "Some think that this sealing will disrupt the balance between the realms. The transformation Engfa has experienced and this strong bond could pose great danger to both sides if not directed correctly. Others see this sealing as a beacon of hope. It could be a force that brings the two worlds together, a symbol of peace."

Myx was silent for a moment, then shared her thoughts and added, "But... It is impossible to fully understand the meaning of the dream. Perhaps how Engfa and Charlotte act during this process will determine what the outcome will be."

Rowena sighed deeply and continued to stare into the fire. "Only time will tell."

At this moment, a voice was heard from outside. A wizard entered, hurriedly walked towards them. He bowed slightly and said: "Lady Rowena, Myx... The news of the Blood Moon has arrived."

Rowena and Myx immediately snapped to attention when they noticed the seriousness on the wizard's face.

"How much time do we have?" Myx asked, a deep gleam of concern in her eyes.

"Seven days," said the wizard, his voice grave and clear. "Seven days until the Blood Moon."

This news changed the atmosphere in the room instantly. Myx and Rowena locked eyes, in silent agreement. The Blood Moon being so close would be a major turning point for Engfa and Charlotte.

Rowena slowly stood up and took a deep breath before turning to Myx. "Time is running out," she said in a calm but determined voice. "We must have everything ready and protected against any possible dangers within seven days."

Myx nodded in agreement with Rowena. "Yes, we need to speed things up. But we also shouldn't leave them alone in this process. It's going to be an emotionally challenging process."

Rowena added, slowly walking away from the fireplace, "Time is running out, Myx. We must be more careful now than ever."

The difficult process ahead for Engfa and Charlotte had begun, and with the dangers that awaited them rapidly approaching, all parties had to take action.

At that moment, the door slowly opened and Luther and Elowen walked in. Their faces clearly showed concern. Without hesitation, Elowen took a step forward and began to speak:

"The Blood Moon has been heralded... We only have seven days," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "Engfa and Charlotte should not merge during this period, I think this sealing is dangerous."

Luther followed his wife inside. His face was serious and full of determination. "This seal poses a great risk to the future of our witch bloodline. Forming such a close bond with vampires could upset the balance between our species. We can never allow them to merge!"

Grandmother Rowena listened silently, her eyes fixed on the fire, while Myx remained silent, following Luther and Elowen's words carefully.

Elowen turned anxiously to her grandmother Rowena. "Mother," she said, her voice emotional and desperate. "You must help us with this. We must protect Engfa from this danger. It would be a great mistake for him to unite with Charlotte when his future is so uncertain."

Luther joined in, his voice harsher and more determined: "Myx, Rowena, you are aware of this. This seal must be broken, or it could be a great disaster for Engfa and our lineage. Charlotte must be freed from its influence. We expect your help in this process."

Rowena took a deep breath, still looking away from the fire. Myx, on the other hand, avoided Luther and Elowen and preferred to remain silent. The room was silent for a while. Elowen and Luther's concerns and demands hung in the air, but Grandmother Rowena and Myx knew how complicated this process was.

Luther couldn't keep the silence in the room any longer. His face was turning stern, and it was obvious that his patience was about to wear thin. "Why are you silent?" he asked, his voice trembling with anger. "Or do you also approve of his union with that vampire princess?"

Rowena took a deep breath, finally lifted her gaze from the fireplace, and looked Luther in the eyes. She spoke in a calm but determined voice. "I am only thinking of Engfa, Luther. I know how powerful a witch she is. She is mature enough to make her own decisions. And this seal... This seal is not just any ordinary thing. Forcibly breaking it would mean losing Engfa completely."

Luther frowned at these words, his anger clearly visible on his face. "We'll find a more beautiful witch for Engfa! She's already surrounded by beautiful and handsome witches! She'll get over this princess nonsense."

Rowena responded with deep sadness in her eyes in response to her son's words, "Luther, you don't understand. Such a powerful seal is permanent. No one can break it by force. Such an attempt would tear Engfa's soul apart. Can you risk losing her? If we break Engfa's seal by force, we could lose her forever. I can't allow that."

Myx also silently nodded her head, indicating that she agreed with Rowena. "Grandmother is right. This seal is so strong that breaking it by force would only harm Engfa. Perhaps even lead her to destruction. We can't do that, Luther."

Luther clenched his fists in anger when Myx supported Rowena. "No matter what you say, I'll handle this situation!" he shouted angrily. Then he quickly headed for the door and left the room, slamming the door hard as he left.

With Luther gone, a deep silence fell in the room. Elowen, unable to hold back her tears, bowed her head and began to cry silently. As she sank to her seat, trying to suppress her sobs, Rowena approached her gently and placed her hand on her shoulder. Myx took a deep breath and continued to watch the emotional moment.

Moriah had her hands clasped behind her as she watched the dark landscape outside through the large window. Her eyes were thoughtful and heavy. Seraphine, standing next to her, could sense her husband's uneasiness. They stood in silence for a moment, then Moriah took a deep breath and spoke, her gaze still fixed on the outside. "Where's Charlotte?"

Seraphine sighed softly. "He hasn't left his room all day. He was sleeping, and now he's engrossed in one of his favorite books. I'm doing my best not to announce the blood moon to him, Moriah. I don't think he's ready to hear this."

Moriah continued to stare out, her eyes unblinking. "But he must learn too, Seraphine. I cannot live with this secret any longer. The blood moon is fast approaching, we must put into effect the decisions made in the council."

Seraphine approached her husband silently, put her hand on his shoulder and tried to calm him down. "I know. But we need to prepare Charlotte more gently, without pushing her so hard. It will be difficult for her."

Moriah's voice became harsher. "I won't wait any longer anyway. I'll invite Prince Kaelith to dinner with his family tomorrow night. We need to wrap this up quickly."

Seraphine nodded with a look of approval at her husband's decision. "Yes, you are right. This union is important for Charlotte's future and our lineage. We need to explain this to her slowly. Prince Kaelith is a suitable match... As a vampire princess, he and she will make a perfect couple."

Moriah finally tore her gaze from the darkness and turned to Seraphine. "We have to do this, Seraphine. We have no other choice."

Seraphine nodded in agreement. "Yes, tomorrow night... Charlotte won't know anything about it until then."
