In the palace of Gloire, Elizabeth Bathory sat in The King's study trying figure out where she has met Knox. Elizabeth has been around since the dawn of time and was the first wife of Lucifer when he fell to Earth thus making her one of the first witches, one of the true witches. Since then she has been reborn countless amount of times through her descendants but due to a witch hunter named Taiel Infernus, her original body that carried the spark of life allowing her to be reborn was destroyed, forcing her to possess the bodies of young and promising witches but it diminished her power drastically since she wasn't born in that body.
When thinking about Knoxroy's face she couldn't help but think about the great war in Egypt when the witches had to come together, despite what kind of magic they practiced, to defeat the Kanais but they were all extinct now so she doesn't know why her mind keeps on bringing that up. She then started brainstorming ways to bring Eden to realise that her way is the only way to bring peace but she would have to know war before she can truly want peace. Elizabeth quickly left the studies and went to the highest part of the castle, the tower. When she arrived she couldn't help but wonder at the beauty of the kingdom before her eyes...........too bad it'll probably be destroyed by the time she and Eden are through bickering. "From my blood, more blood shall be born." Black veins started spreading all over her body as she tapped into the dark magic needed complete her task. "Spirits of the first of the first. Katrina, Lilith, Vasilisa, Naamah , Chandra and Serilda hear thy sister's call and loan thy power." Earth began to shake as the veil between life and death dwindled. The people of Gloire began screaming when they felt the Earth shake but what really scared them shitless was when pale men and women with fangs started appearing out of nowhere. The Countess called upon the power of the first witches to help pull down the veil and resurrect dead vampires since they were already extinct.
The men of Gloire started retaliating but they weren't getting anywhere, many were already dead and lying in a pool of their own blood as the vampires ravaged Gloire.
As The Countess watched the mayhem she birthed she realised two males fighting side by side, they were good. It was Magistrate Hale with a fiery axe and Father David with a sword covered in vervain to burn the vampires. While she watched them, Magistrate Hale mostly, she noticed the vampires were avoiding any contact with Mr. Hale as if they were scared of him. "But he's only human!" she exclaimed in frustration.
She then saw another man who she didn't recognise, it was Bastian, setting vampires on fire with just a glance. "Interesting."
All of a sudden vampires started to freeze ice cold. "What in Lucifer's name is going on?!" The sky darkened and lightning began coming down on the vampires like rain, destroying them all."God has heard our prayers and saved us!!!" Father David declared eliciting a roar from the everyone.
Meanwhile Eden and Knox were watching everything from her bedroom window. Eden knew that is was that old hag Elizabeth wreaking havoc on her home, she would've done something but she froze up, she has never seen any witch resurrect so many people. "Knox aren't you going to help?"
"I already have love." Knox answered still staring up at the clouds that appear from nowhere. Eden got this strange vibe from him, like there was more to him, like he wasn't human, he was something unearthly.
"I'll go lock the do-" Eden froze in fear when she saw the two pale looking women at the room door. The brunette moved at an inhuman towards Eden but flew up into the ceiling. "Knox!!" called as she flew down, grabbing the vampire's head and threw her through the window startling Knox. "Begone!" Black veins began spreading around Eden's face since she started practicing Dark magic. The remaining vampire cried in pain before she bursted into a pile of dead beetles. Eden stood there breathing heavily before turning around to see a smiling butler. "What?"
"That was.........quite sexy. The way you came to my rescue." he said stepping towards her.
"We almost got killed and you just found out I'm a witch yet you still want to get inside me."
"Yes and nothing will stop me. Well..........there is your husband."
"Ex-husband" Eden corrected. "and why would you bring him up, he and I are history now." Eden hissed. She couldn't stand the thought of Sebastian anymore, he was scum in her sight.
"Well lets just say he's at the door." Knox said sheepishly. "What are you-" Eden turned around to see her ex-husband standing at the door with a pissed look on his face.
"Who's he!?!" Bastian yelled.
"Don't you ever yell at her!!" Knox got all up in Bastian's face.
"I'll will give you ten seconds to get out of my face little boy or else." Bastian threatened.
"I have lived decades before even your grandparents were born so I think you should be the one who's scared and not me, you complete waste of sperms. Oh was God drunk when he made you." Knox retorted.
"Ha Eden I think your little boy toy is delusional. I came here to see if you were alright but it looks like you've got this in control. You know where to find me when you're ready to talk." Then he just disappeared.
"Eden I'm gonna say it." Knox spoke up.
"Don't you dare!!"
"Yes I will."
"Don't!!"
"...........Awkward!!"
"Well there goes your chance of getting inside me."
