The tension was palpable as Marco faced the Blood Queen. She stood before him, Benjo, Lyra, and Rico under her control, their eyes blank and unseeing. The stage was set for a battle, a clash of wills.
"Let's end this, Marco," the Blood Queen sneered, her voice echoing in the still night. "I am not just any fairy. I am Zafira, the Blood Queen."
Her name hung in the air, a chilling reminder of the enemy they were up against. But Marco was not deterred. He had faced enemies before, and he would face this one too.
The battle that ensued was fierce. Marco, using his powers as a former dark warlock, fought valiantly against Zafira. The Blood Queen, with her mind-controlled allies, was a formidable opponent. But Marco was not fighting alone. He had the spirit of Lumina with him, and he would not back down.
