I rose out of the water and headed straight toward my black tower. Just as I stepped into the dining hall, I saw the rush of movement.
It was as though my sisters had been waiting for my scent, waiting for my presence.
I had left the Demon Realm after my words with Hades, and though he said nothing, the way he stared at me in awe still lingered.
I swallowed hard as Xyrrha’s memory came back to me, then lowered my gaze to the cylindrical glass in my clutch and held it tight.
“Lycan!” Mearez rushed into my arms without caring that I was dripping wet. She kissed my lips, then pulled back to search my body for injuries. I said softly,
“I am fine.”
I looked to Serena, who still hadn’t moved from her place. She was too emotional. I could see it in her eyes. Gently, I walked up to her and kissed her lips.
“I’m fine. I’m home,” I whispered, then sighed. “Our brother Hades is fine too. You both have nothing to worry about, understand?”
My elder sisters nodded in unison. I shifted my gaze to the window, staring up at the night sky.
“It’s late. You should rest. Tomorrow we’ll have breakfast together and talk.”
“Alright, baby brother,” Serena replied, and I nodded.
Before they could leave, I couldn’t help but ask,
“Are you both alright? Nothing happened in my absence?”
Mearez turned first, shaking her head.
“Baron, your beta, handled the politics and meetings while Serena and I continued our tasks.”
I nodded and swallowed before asking softly,
“Zephyrine… she didn’t come by?”
This time, my sisters exchanged a glance and shook their heads.
I nodded again, watching them leave, clearly relieved that I was back.
From the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Chantel lurking in the shadows. He, too, moved as I turned for the stairs.
When I reached my black tower, I hurried into my chambers and pulled off my cloak. Then I called out,

“Chantel?”
He appeared in the doorway at once. I walked back into my chamber, giving him the order,
“These are letters. Sort them by date. Quickly.”

He crossed to the table where I had placed the cylindrical glass, opened it, and began sorting through the old letters while I stripped off my wet clothes and dried my hair.
By the time I pulled on fresh garments, he looked up.

The reply came sharp and damning.
“Blood Army.”

The paper slipped from my fingers. I stared at the table as if I could see through it. Blood Army. The very army I commanded.
So… why had the Abyss gone in my stead?
I grabbed the next letter. They spoke only of war strategies, how to entrap both the Blood Army and the Ashmeres, forcing them to slaughter each other on the battlefield.
Then I reached the second–to–last letter.
“The warlord of the Bloof Army will not appear. We have a change of plan. The agreed day is the eve of the full moon. The Blood Army’s warlord cannot be defeated then. Instead, I will send another warlord and he will see it done. Place the Blood Army in the front line, and rest assured, all Ashmeres will die and so will the Blood army.”
The final letter came from the Imperium Council.
“Then we have an accord. We will send our envoy, Kaela, with gifts to present as thanks for your aid.”
