Song for this chapter: Longing by Adrian von Ziegler

"Lumuhod ka sa aking harapan,"
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang tumulak sakin, pero sinunod ko ang nais ng engkantada. Tumama ang tuhod ko sa sahig.
Natapos na. Natapos na ang pagsisiwalat niya sakin, at alam ko na ang kinakalangan kong gawin. It will be a never-ending search for the remaining six swords, but I trust them. I trust them to made their ways to me as I will do for them.
It all started with the fall, to the collapse of the empires where every Emperor died and vanished. Then to the destruction of the imperial council, kung saan napapatangi noon ang apat sa pikamatataas na hari ngayon. Dito nagwakas rin ang maayos na imahe ng mga bampira sa mundong ito. Kung sa mga mata ko rin, hindi isang krimen ang ginawa nila kundi isang karumal-dumal na pagtalikod sa mundo.
Because of this, they were punished. Their forms shifted. Hindi ko alam kung paano sila nagbago at kung ano ang natatanging rason nila. Ito ang bagay na kailangang ibuklad sakin mismo ni Veron, because apart from everyone, he knew his kind.
The enchantress told me about the dark emperor. Nasa imperial na konseho rin siya pero nagtraydor siya sa lahat para sa kapangyarihan. He sold Astraea the moment she gave birth to the heir, the reason why she died and the birth of the stars in this world came to life. As for the Emperor, he was cursed on a deep sleep and buried underground for beyond our eternals. Simula noon ay siya na ang sinamba ng demonyo sa kailaliman, hinihintay ang kanyang paggising at pagpapakita muli sa mundong ito.
Ages after ages, Lysandra, the wingless ravensiel, my sister's mother, the once queen of all wickedness opened the bridge from the world below. Pero nasarado rin ulit iyon dahil sa pagtatapos ng digmaan ng mga mundo. At ngayon hindi ko akalaing sa akin muling mag-uumpisa ang panibagong digmaan. But this time it would have nothing to do with the worlds here in Astraea. Nakakasalalay ang lahat sa dugong dumadaloy sakin at sa walong magbabalik na mga espada mula sa nakaraan.
And this will be the beginning of a conflagration of thrones.
And I've already thought about some circumstances. There was a sword given to the lineage of demons. Maaaring ito ngayon ang ginagamit ng nagising nang emperor para makatuwid ang mga demonyo rito at mag-ibang anyo. And then they will feed on souls to be more powerful.
I can only imagine their strengths now. There is no doubt, they have been waiting for this. Preparing, gathering, and waiting. So was the emperor whom I fear the most to see.
Mula rito ay may kasunduang naganap sa pagitan ng winaksi na ng mundong itong mga lahi ng bampira at sa mga demonyo. The vampires' long lost form will return to them if the remaining four kings of the imperial council will die.
Their eyes, skin, wings that no one in the world remembered, their forgotten legacies, reigns, and heartbeats.
"Isipin mo itong isang panibagong basbas na ibibigay ko sa iyo, Sora," the all-knowing being muttered firmly. Nakataas na ang espada ng mga korona sa harapan niya habang ang isa ay isinantabi niya muna sa dulo ng katabing lamesa.
