Dylan and Marceline left the dark forest. They were traversing the path, leading them to the Vampire's hideout. They used the magical map provided by the white witch as their guide to locating the hideout.
They reached their destination in just an hour. Marceline and Dylan encountered the barrier. At first, the only thing they could see was a vast land with no mountain or forest. Marceline picked up the gemstone to disable the barrier.
After using the gemstone, the real landscape of the area was revealed, creating a path for them to pass through. Marceline immediately pulled Dylan as they passed through the broken barrier. It would only last for several seconds so they had to get in without being noticed by the vampires.
"Sis, can you sense them?" Dylan asked her. They were both using their super sense of smell and hearing to find out if there were enemies nearby.
