Lair of the Blood Crusaders…
Demona in her mirror looked at her followers before her and grinned with cruel delight.
Her Blood Crusaders, and her army, were diminished by the war and were too few in number since they went into hiding. Though they were small in a world run by Belos, that would all soon change once the spark has been lit once again and Demona returns to lead the Blood Crusaders to their ultimate goal, the Day of Unity. It was a prophesied day that The Nun in Red has been planning and conspiring throughout the centuries and through the hardships she had to endure from this realm. Finally, she would be freed around the time the Day of Unity would come to fruition.
"My Blood Crusaders, the day of our rebirth is vastly approaching, and my return shall be brought into the light. For you see, upon the declaration of the crowning of their beloved little princess, who will truly bring forth the Day of Unity, we can begin our revolution and my return."
The people cheered as Tulip looked so excited to free her aunt after all this time.
Her family was coming home with the new addition on the way… Tulip… has been lonely for so long and even though she had a palisman friend, without family, she had no full love. All her life, she trained and studied to save her aunt and stop Belos. As her only relative said, the Archivist has big plans for her.
"Everything has been set in motion since I lured Luzura into the Realm of Demons and Witches, and everything has going according to the plan. Soon, my faithful brothers and sisters, soon I will be freed, and we can finally finish the mission we started sixty years ago. The Day of Unity shall come to be!"
"The Day of Unity!"
The Blood Crusaders cheered as the woman of the mirror smirked.
"Everything is going to plan, Sister. The scouts are biting the false trail and the robots will destroy the pillars when they activate the fireworks for the princess." Ukobach informed his master.
She grinned as she will finally be able to pay the favor Belos did for her…
At the Emperor's Palace…
"YOU'RE PREGNANT?!"
The sounds of excitement shook the entire palace as Atticus was enveloped in hugs from his family and friends. Even Darius was hugging him and he's not the type who likes to be touched.
"Yes, Edwin and I found out a few weeks ago. I wanted to tell you all in person." Atticus answered as he was rubbing his stomach.
Luz was jumping with joy while the Wittebane brothers were bursting with joy.
"This is truly a moment to celebrate! My eldest daughter's coronation, Vee's adoption into our family as the youngest and you are having offspring of your own! This is truly a happy time!" Belos declared and the Coven Heads and Coven Scouts cheered.
"Come on, let's get you out of the heat so you can get some water and meet your newest cousin." Camila encouraged and then led the pregnant man into the palace.
"Edwin, allow me to present you with some hand-me-downs from my offspring's childhood. These little knickknacks helped out when they were young." Belos offered the man who married his beloved nephew.
It was weird that he would be so chummy with him, considering when he was first dating Atticus, Belos threatened to feed him to his flying wolves if he hurt the boy, then when they were getting married, he took part in a tradition of getting kicked in the gut by every male member of the family to welcome him. His old aunt was right, traditions are painful, especially if marrying into the royal family.
Yeesh.
Glad his kids will be related by blood.
Felt bad Atticus's brother and cousins got married. Their future spouse will have to follow the tradition too. Even females, they get punched in the stomach by the female members of the family.
Oh well, they got through trials and tribulations and now were on their way to the family hood. Not only that, but Luz was going to become recognized as an heir to the royal family. Possibly Vee will get her coronation next year.
Oof, he feels like there will be parties to come for the next decade.
He wondered if the Boiling Isles would soon turn into Day Isles, the next party town.
Edwin was soon taken by Belos as Kikimora summoned the children for their preparations for the coronations.
For this party would be one no one will ever forget.
