Beyond the veil of humanity, In a world where demons, vampires, werewolves, witches, and fairies coexist, the delicate balance of power is disrupted by the emergence of a forbidden mixed-breed. As prophecies unfold and allegiances shift, the fate of...
While in the midline of transporting through the portal, it shook and nearly made them stuck. As they reappeared in Tenebrous with the chest box, the whole place shook.
"Whoa!" Nimue shrieked and held onto Aria, who held onto Lax.
"What was that?" Kael asked as he walked a bit further.
"Whatever it is...isn't good...we gotta get to our parents soon," Aria said.
The group walked the dark looming forest.
_POV: THE VISION_
Vaughn decided they needed to flee to a better hidden part of Tenebrous, knowing people would probably be after him when they see the mess..
He helped Imara and her baby as they started their journey. They got to a part where they seeked refuge in a cave; it's not deep, so Vaughn set a fire for the cold.
Whenever he carried Imara's baby, he would see what felt like a vision to the present... The baby's skin was cold...cracked and paled. His hair like his mother's raven black and wavy.
Imara was always happy with the baby; she never let him from her sight..one time she even thought of Vaughn as a predator wanting to harm her baby.
"Nabril..." She cooed to the baby.
"M-my strong b-baby boy" she smiled.
Vaughn smiled too but felt the pain in her voice and saw it in her eyes too. He couldn't shake off the sight from his home earlier...
One time, as they sat by the fireplace, He decided to ask Imara,
"Do you remember anything?...like who are you and where you come from, maybe?"
Imara raised her head and faced Vaughn, "Imara..." She said softly.
"I know that..." She cut him off.
"F-father...father kill Imara..." She said.
"F-father kill mother and s-sister lulu" she muttered, as tears pooled her eyes.
"M-magic.. b-baby..." Her face contorted as her eyes shone black for a brief moment before returning to normal.
Vaughn didn't know how to respond...she could snap at any moment so it's better he kept her at bay...
Suddenly Imara kissed his forehead and leaned on his shoulder.
Each day passed, and Vaughn grew weaker... Imara and the baby's presence drained him.
Nabril was no ordinary boy born of supernatural intimacy...
Imara and Vaughn's cave refuge was short-lived. A band of Witchers tracked them down, torching every path they'd made.
"Run, Imara, run!" Vaughn yelled, as they sprinted through the woods.
Imara clutched Nabril to her chest, panic fueling her strides.
Arrows whizzed through the air, most deflected by Vaughn's swift reflexes.
But one found its mark.. piercing through his chest
Vaughn's anguished cry echoed through the forest as he crumpled to the ground.
"Vaughn!" Imara screamed, her voice shattering the silence.
"Go!" Vaughn urged.
Imara rushed to his side, tears streaming down her face.
"No! I can't leave you!" she sobbed.
Vaughn's gaze locked onto hers.
"P-please, Imara... take care... our baby... okay?" he whispered.
Blood gushed from his mouth. His eyes pleaded.
"Please go..."
Vaughn's lips brushed against Imara's hand.
A heart-wrenching shriek tore from Imara's throat. The woods erupted. The blast sent everyone flying. Vaughn's body crumbled to ash. His final breath escaped.

_POV: THE LEGION CLAN'S ASSEMBLY_
Queen Lyrebird sat in the middle of the circle with their powers swirling and filling the room. The entire place shook with great force, causing them to fall off their feet.
"H-he's here.." Queen Lyrebird muttered, her voice became more and more urgent.
Suddenly the main gate flung open as Kael, Aria, Nimue, Lax, and Xavier walked in.
"Mum..." Aria ran to her mother Queen Lyrebird in her tranced state.
"What happened to her?" Aria asked her Father King Lyrad.
They placed the chest on the ground and exchanged greetings with their parents.
