SECRET CLUES DARIUS ( VAMPIRE KINGS GENERAL ) The time has come , I tell my men , seated in the old crypt that serves as our refuge outside the borders of Silver Lake .
I dont dare get too close to that pack with the Lycan King prowling and more alert than ever .
However , the strategy of using the Alphias family has continued to work for me .
With some adjustments , there was always a useful pawn weak , defenseless one I could use as a spy and to manipulate the soft heart of that maiden .
Thane , prepare everything for the transfer spell .
We need to complete the operation quickly before the Lycan King can react .
Set the shadow portals for my men , I order the sorcerer traveling with us .
The most powerful vampires can conjure some elemental magic , but for stronger spells , we need the help of a dark warlock .
Sir , that small body wont withstand much if I transfer more of your power into it , he warns .
I just need it to last long enough .
Youre not here to give suggestions transfer more comes .
Right now , its barely usable as a spy .
After all , he was already half dead when you cursed him , I reply without concern .
Why should I care about the life of that miserable fool ? of my power when the time I touch my chest where the small vial containing the powerful blood of the descendant of Juno rests .
I had to use a few more drops on the first Altar just to confirm it was a fake and reveal the coordinates leading to that greenhouse .
I have no idea how to find the true Altar without using her blood again .
A shiver runs over my skin just imagining what the King will do to me if he finds out about the unnecessary waste of blood but I will make up for it .
Ill fix this the right way by bringing him the valuable woman from the prophecy .
What a surprise when I saw her again , this time at the Lycan Kings side .
I realized she wasnt just some random woman , that I had been deceived before .
She was the one reading the information on the Altars and guiding Aldric Throne .
I tried paying those fools to kidnap her to avoid the risk , but the damn flea bitten wolves failed even at that .
They nearly caused her death and then had the audacity to ask me for payment .
Ill handle this myself .
Everything is ready .
I will learn the clues from this Altar and take that woman to use her .
We must find the tomb of the ancient Queen , the descendant of Juno .
SECRET CLU VALERIA My gaze wandered across the forest surrounding the old dirt path as I pushed the wheelchair .
Edward , as usual , wasnt very talkative .
He was never a lively child , but today , he seemed even quieter than usual .
Is this the place ? I asked when we reached a half ruined greenhouse in the middle of the woods .
Yes , its my secret place , his small voice answered .
Come inside , I have many interesting things to show you .
We moved along the overgrown path , wild plants creeping up the tall glass walls of the greenhouse .
Celine , do you sense anything strange ? Not yet , but this place gives off a disturbing aura .
Be careful Im following closely in secret .
I pushed open the rusted doors , which creaked as they swung apart , revealing a rectangular space .
In the center was a rough , earthen path , and on either side were what I assumed had once been beautiful gardens , now overrun with weeds and small stone statues In one corner sat a pond like fountain , its water murky and foul smelling , the stench rising from its depths .
Edward , this place feels too lonely and abandoned .
Why do you come here to play ? I knelt beside him , wanting to understand where he was leading me .
Its because no one wants to play with me since Im defective .
At least here , I have friends ! Look , Ill introduce you to them ! His voice dropped with sadness , but then he perked up and pointed toward the small statues among the overgrown plants .
I decided to play along , following him as we examined each statue .
He had even given them names .
Moss covered the cracks on many of them some were missing heads or arms .
However , something caught my attention as I observed them more closely .
A statue of a woman holding a child was gazing in a specific direction .
When I followed her line of sight , she was looking toward another statue , a she wolf growling at a man dressed as a gardener .
And so it continued , as if the statues were guiding me toward a particular place .
Following my instincts , I ventured deeper into the abandoned greenhouse .
At the back , there was a small , round structure with a domed roof .
It looked like it once served as a reading nook or a peaceful spot for afternoon tea .
Wait here for a moment , Edward .
left the boy in the corridor and climbed a short , worn staircase , entering the structure .
The place smelled of rust , age , dampness , and decaying leaves .
I scanned the room carefully for clues , the forest barely visible through the stained , dirty glass windows .
Finally , something suspicious caught my eye in a corner .
SECRET CLUES A small stone figurine of a woman clearly representing the Moon Goddess .
1 knew it because it was identical to the one from the fake Altar in the mountains .
Something isnt right , I murmured , approaching the 50 cm statue placed atop a pedestal and examining it closely .
Her hands pointed downward , yet in the Goddess Altar from the mountains , her hands were raised toward the sky .
Driven by curiosity to uncover the truth behind so many mysteries , I touched the cold stone hands and tried to lift them upward .
They creaked and shifted ! Astonished , I wondered what it could mean but then a noise , followed by a trembling beneath my feet , made me snap back to reality .
