After Layna woke up she forgot about the dream she had. The plan of the heavens must not be revealed before the appointed time.
~In the supernatural realm-Vampire Empire
Since the death of the Empress Kiona, Makasti had been in seclusion. As the guards stood outside his chamber, guarding the door Makasti came out and instructed,
"Go and call Jethro the seer as well as Frederick the leader of the warriors"
The guards immediately ran out and came back after some moments with Jethro and Frederick.
"Beloved Emperor" They all bowed.
"Rise" Makasti said "Go and prepare the troupes... We'll be invading the human world tomorrow."
"But Beloved Emperor...." Jethro paused. Those in the supernatural realm could not enter the human world unless under special circumstances.Like that of the Prince, Layna and Tiana. It was according to the will of the celestials so not much power was expended. But the movement of the Vampire Emperor and his troupes, that was almost impossible.
"There are no buts... Gather the troupes.. we leave tomorrow"
Makasti turned and entered his chamber. He touched an inconspicuous part of the wall and pushed it. The wall shifted to the side revealing a staircase spiralling down into the darkness. Makasti grabbed a torch by the wall a d lit it. He then proceeded down the brick stairs. He soon arrived at a small wooden door. He gave a slight push and the door creeked open. The room was in the shape of a hexagon with four light candelebras stationed at each of the six corners lighting up the room. He blew out the torch and placed it at a corner. In the middle of the room was a black box. He fumbled a bit with the box and it opened slowly. Dark fumes were slowly emitted from the box. Makasti took out a black pill and laughed maniacally,
"Oh Damian... You would have never imagined that I have in my possession the power of the ancient vampires... With this I will rule the lower realms... Hahaha"
With that he swallowed the pill. The veins on his body popped up and he gritted his teeth. The pain invading his senses was like his bones were being broken and reattached over and over again. He fell to the floor in pain. After a while, he stood up, his eyes completely black. The dark fumes swirled around him dangerously. With a smirk on his face, he left the room.
After Makasti left, a sliver haired guy appeared in the room with a hand fan. On the fan was paintings of mountains and springs looking life like. If Layna were here she would have recognised the ethereal feel he gave off. Smiling to himself, he thought,
'the secrets of the celestials shall not be revealed before time'.
The guy disappeared leaving a faint silvery glow. He reappeared at the cottage of Gamo Diana.
"Gamo Diana" he said, his voice reverberating
Gamo Diana looked up at him and immediately fell on her knees,
"Hail the Cr..."
"Rise" he said
"I... I dare not"
"Rise " he repeated
Gamo Diana trembled and rose to her feet.
She lowered her head not daring to meet his eyes. He stared right at her and said,
"For nothing is secret that shall not be disclosed and nothing concealed that shall not become manifest... Man has a thousand plans heaven but one... The time has come" He waved his right hand and a silver glow entered Gamo Diana's forehead.
"This one thanks the...."
"Enough! Do what you seem fit... Mortals do not stir a mile if the heavens do not lift a finger... It's about time values are taught" With that he vanished leaving behind a silvery glow.
