Four years have passed, the children grew so fast and as time passes by, The children spent most of their time playing in the castle courtyard, playing, while Gray always follows Eli (Elizabeth), like Gray is her tail. Gray is so attached to her sister since Eli was so kind to him, and Eli grew really beautiful, kind and caring to her brothers, since she was the first born. She always act as their big sister telling the boys whats right or wrong, restricting them in a lot of things, Dante and Vergil is the most hard headed, naughty and always fighting, while Reid on the other hand was always on a corner or on top of a tree, reading books, he rarely play with his siblings, then Max (Maximus) is the protective brother, always protecting Gray from Dante and Virgil, they always tease and do pranks on Gray, then Luke was very adventurous, he frequently sneaks out of the castle and go to the town, playing with other human children, While King Vlad was very occupied, raising an army for the day they fight Raven and his army, the other four Kings are also doing the same thing, Maria was spending all of her time with her children, she's treasuring all the moments with her children, because she knows that she only have one year left to be with her children and they will be taken from her to start their training and afterwards, fight Raven.

Eli: Mother! Luke sneaked out again.

Gray: Mother... Im thirsty.

Maria poured a glass of water and gave it to Gray and smiled.

Gray: Water? i want juice mother.

Gray: NO!!! i want juice! (looked away while crossing his arms)

Maria was just looking at the siblings and she suddenly giggle.

Maria: Eli, please.. (smiling)

Eli: Hayyyys!.. okay okay!

Eli touched the glass of water and then changed its color to orange.
