Guardians of the Light – The Leviathan

by Emanuele00

AU/Vampires/Gay/ – The Devil has found his wings and soars alongside Edward engulfed by their mutual nirvana. They discover true intimacy, a Manhattan penthouse, and the sheer joy of marriage. But as they revel the whirlwind approaches and Lumen's urgent call infringes upon their poetry – "The time has come to return home, to Malta. They are coming for the Cosmic Ocean."

Prologue

My endearing Edward,

Bathing beneath the incandescent sun of Malta after such a while soothes my soul. It has been too long since our departure and though I wish you were with me I candidly confess how wonderful it is to be home. Dexio asked me to say hello, and well, you know Avicus' doggedness.

I apologize about my abrupt exit and having to tell you in form of a note but trust there was no other way. Makenna and I were needed in Valletta. If you can, please reassure Charles that physically she is fine. Unfortunately, this letter has an execrable purpose. Lumen and we had hoped that circumstances could be different or that we could perhaps mend them however there are no alternative avenues.

Edward, Lumen has invited you back to Malta. And you are not the sole recipient of his invitation. Carlisle, Esme, Alice, and the rest of the family all must travel to Malta. Call JFK and reserve the next possible flight! Charter a private jet if you are forced to!

Tell Carlisle to call Tanya's coven in Denali. Tell him to contact his friends Garrett, Mary, Randall, and Jaspers acquaintances Peter and Charlotte. Also, Jasper needs to contact his maker Maria in Mexico. If Carlisle is able he should also call his friends in Ireland, Siobhan's coven if I recall correctly.

Avicus, Dexio, and Makenna have left the islands. Avicus has gone to South America, Dexio to Europe, and Makenna to the farthest reaches of Asia. We are gathering everyone! Lumen is summoning vampires from all over the world, and you have to please also attend his summit.

There is something immortals need to know, something Lumen has kept hidden for nearly nine-thousand years. It concerns the origin of immortality, and the proprietor of us all.

I am so sorry for this melodramatic method of contacting you but understand the seriousness of what is to happen. A storm is approaching us, a whirlwind, a shadow that is threating to cast its veil above us all. Every single vampire on Earth will be influenced by the onslaught of this looming pandemonium.

Remember, Tanya, Siobhan, Maria, and the nomads all need to come to Malta.

Find them Edward! FIND THEM ALL!

Forever yours,

Semper, Luca
