The battle between Marco and the woman was fierce, their powers clashing in the quiet night. In the heat of the fight, the woman revealed her true identity. "I am the Blood Queen," she hissed, her name echoing in Marco's mind.
Their powers collided, resulting in a massive explosion that lit up the night sky. The peaceful silence of Lumina was shattered, replaced by the sounds of battle.
Awakened by the explosion, Benjo, Lyra, and Rico rushed to the scene. Their hearts pounded as they took in the sight before them. Marco, bloodied but smiling, held the woman by her neck.
Their initial relief at finding Marco alive was replaced by a sense of dread. The scene before them was reminiscent of the past, of the time when Marco was the dark warlock. Had Marco returned to his old ways?
