ep-5
As they join hands, a surge of energy flows between them, illuminating the room. Their eyes lock, and an unspoken connection deepens between them.
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*whispering*
We’ve got this. Together.
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
Always
With renewed determination, they channel their energy toward Kane, who fights against the dark tendrils wrapping around him.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*Desperate*
Kane, hold on! We’re coming for you!
The light intensifies, and the dark figure screams in fury as the tendrils begin to dissipate, releasing Kane from their grasp
Mysterious Figure
No! You won’t take him from me!
Just as Kane is freed, the dark figure lunges forward, aiming to strike Lucian.
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
*Still weakened but fierce*
Lucian, now!
Lucian steps forward, gathering all his power and love for his friends, and launches a powerful blast of light at the figure.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
This is for all of us!
The blast connects, engulfing the figure in blinding light. It screams, fading into nothingness as the room fills with warmth
As the light fades, Kane collapses to the floor, panting heavily. Lucian rushes to his side.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
Kane! Are you okay?
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
*gasping*
Just… a little singed
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*Kneeling beside him*
You scared us! Don’t do that again
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
*Helping Kane up*
You really need to work on your self-preservation
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
*Weakly chuckling*
And you need to work on your timing. You’re both too slow
The camaraderie fills the room, but the shadow of danger still lingers.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
This isn’t over. Vespera will come for us."
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
And we’ll be ready. Together
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*Looking at Dorian*
Right. Together.
The night outside is still heavy with the remnants of the battle. Rain begins to fall, tapping against the grand windows of Lucian’s estate. Inside, the atmosphere has shifted—victory lingers in the air, but so does a tension, both dark and alluring. Candles flicker, casting long shadows across the luxurious room, and the silence is thick with unspoken words.
Kane leans heavily on Lucian as they move into the sitting room, where a fire crackles, providing warmth and comfort after the chaos. Dorian and Selena walk behind them, their steps soft but filled with something electric
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
*Groaning slightly*
I’ll be fine. Just need a stiff drink... and maybe a week’s rest.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*Grinning*
You deserve both, brother.
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*teasing*
I’d say you deserve a lot more than a drink after what just happened.
Kane gives her a smirk, his gaze lingering on her briefly before collapsing onto the velvet couch. The tension among them hasn’t eased, even with the immediate danger gone. It’s as if the darkness left behind a residue, something more primal and intimate.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*Pouring whiskey into glasses*
Drink up. You’ve earned it.
*He hands the glass to Kane before turning to Selena and Dorian.*
We have to talk about what just happened.
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
*Taking a glass*
You mean the ghostly attack or the fact that we just barely escaped Vespera’s clutches?
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*Sipping her drink, a sly smile playing on her lips*
Or that dark, mysterious figure who seemed to know a lot more about us than we did about them?
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
*Leaning back, his eyes gleaming*
They’re all linked. Vespera’s been planning this for a while, and we’re not prepared
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*Nodding, his expression darkening*
We need to strengthen our defenses. Tonight was just a taste of what’s coming
