Meanwhile at the Nicolau family home, Darius and Mr. Nicolau were still fighting Mayes. Sparks of light came out of the flashes they made. Mayes pushed the flashes he made stronger, overwhelming Darius and Mr. Nicolau. Mayes was not someone they could fight easily. But they tried their best. Because they thought that if they defeated Mayes, they would save Keyra and Sabrina. Someone entered the house. Moris, one of the Darken members came to help. He cast a spell on Mr. Nicolau. Making Mr. Nicolau release his magic from Mayes and escape.
"My lord.. I saw a white light in the crossing building. The light of the chosen one." Moris told Mayes. Mayes smiled and Moris cast a spell on Mr. Nicolau again.
"It turns out that the chosen one has not mastered his magic yet." Mayes muttered. Mayes pushed his magic harder, making Darius step back and hit the wall.
"Come on." Mayes said to Moris. Mayes teleported and so did Moris.
"No..." Darius replied softly. Keyra had not yet mastered her magic. So when she did great magic, it would emit a distinctive white light. A white light coated with a faint rainbow color that only the chosen ones could do. Darius held his breath. He was thinking about what he could do to help Keyra.
"Jim.. " Mr. Nicolau came to Jim who had repeatedly given his mother a healing spell. Mr Nicolau stopped Jim. He held Jim's hand. Jim looked at his father. His father shook his head, indicating that his mother was no longer alive.
"You know that healing spells only work if the person being healed is still alive."
Jim began to cry for his mother. His father lowered his head sadly. Darius came to them and shared his sadness over Mrs. Nicolau's death. A scraping sound was heard in the room. Darius, Jim and Mr. Nicolau stood up straight and prepared to attack. The scraping sound became clearer. An overturned table was seen moving forward. From behind the table appeared Mr. Barlock. His thin and small body made it easy for him to hide anywhere.
"I-i... I..."
Barlock ran out. Darius did not chase him. He was very sad to see Barlock betray him. He thought Barlock had come to his senses. Initially, Barlock was a follower of Darken, but after what Mayes did by slaughtering his entire family, Barlock ran away and came to Darius asking for forgiveness and protection. Seeing his sincerity, Darius felt sorry for him and helped him. Barlock had been by Darius's side for years. Even though the other Elders were suspicious of him, Darius still trusted him. But it turned out he was wrong, a big mistake. Jim chased Barlock out of the house. Barlock ran in front of Jim. His limping leg made it difficult for him to run fast. Jim cast a spell, making Barlock fall. Barlock turned his body. He sat on the road. Jim came to him.
"You... you made my mother die and you also made Mayes target my sister. I will not forgive you." Jim prepared to cast another spell. But suddenly his body was thrown sideways and hit a tree. Jim winced in pain. A group of Darken were seen walking quickly. They passed Barlock who was still sitting on the road without wanting to help him. One of them stopped in front of Barlock and smiled faintly.
"Too bad." He replied softly and cast a death spell on Barlock.
"Blessemort Egessious!!"
Barlock lay dead on the road. Jim who saw all that was still silent in his place. He didn't want to do anything stupid. He waited for all the Darken to leave. Jim stood up slowly after they left. He approached Barlock's frozen body.
"You deserve it. At least I don't have to dirty my hands to kill you." Jim looked at Barlock's body with disgust.

In the crossing building, Bella who was still in Keyra's body ran towards Sabrina after emitting the light. She was a little surprised by the emergence of the faint light. That shouldn't have happened. It should have been just a normal white light. The faint rainbow light shouldn't have appeared. Bella realized that Keyra had not been able to fully master the power of the chosen one as Darius had said. The chosen one who could not control his power would emit a faint rainbow light every time they used great power. Bella regretted the magic she had made earlier a little. But it had all happened.
Bella helped Sabrina walk to the elevator and pressed the elevator button but it didn't open. She pressed the button several times but it still didn't open. Bella began to worry. She was confused about what to do. One of the witches in the building began to regain consciousness. Bella made him faint again. Her eyes turned to the door. In front of the door was Mayes standing staring at Bella. He banged on the door to open it. Bella knew who Mayes was, she recognized him. Bella pressed the elevator button and finally the elevator opened. Bella helped Sabrina into the elevator and pressed the button for their destination. Mayes began to get angry and blew up the door then ran towards the elevator that Bella was using. But it was too late. The elevator had closed and gone to its destination. Mayes screamed loudly and attacked everyone near him.
Bella was still supporting Sabrina who was still weak and almost losing consciousness. "Sabrina, you have to hold on, kid. Just a moment, just a little bit moment." Bella muttered softly. The elevator door opened. Bella was already inside a hotel. She looked around. Bella slowly stepped out of the elevator.
"There she is!!" a shout from behind them surprised Bella. Apparently there was already Darken on guard. They were guarding every place where the elevator would arrive.
"Deparcantian!!!"
Bella cast a spell but the two men managed to dodge and retaliate by casting a spell on Bella. Bella tried hard to ward it off but it wasn't easy because now she was also supporting Sabrina who was lying weak.
"CADECONSTI!!"
One of them fainted. Then Bella immediately teleported.
Bella arrived at a deserted street. The sky was cloudy, there was no sunlight but it wasn't raining either. Only clouds and cold air that pierced to the bone. Bella was still supporting Sabrina. They teleported again. This time they were in a dense forest. She saw a house in the middle of the forest. Bella cast a spell to enter the protection of the house then carried Sabrina to the house and knocked on the door. There was no answer from inside. Do they not live here anymore? She thought. Bella knocked again and this time there was an answer from inside.
"Who is that?" answered from inside without opening the door.
"It's me, Keyra Callania, no, Annabella Scazumergh." Bella answered softly. The person inside immediately opened the door slightly and looked out. A young woman stood behind the door, staring at her coldly.
"You're not Annabella." She answered coldly.
"Go away or you'll get hurt."
"My form is not Annabella but I am Bella, please Maya. It's me, trust me." Bella replied. She was exhausted from carrying Sabrina and she had also been in Keyra's body for too long, making her weak. The person inside opened the door of her house wide.
"It's been a long time since anyone called me by that name." She said with a shocked expression. "Bella??"
Bella nodded. "Yes, it's me Maya." Bella was getting weaker.
"But didn't you already--" Maya stopped her words.
"I'll tell you everything, later. Help me." Maya helped Bella carry Sabrina into the house and towards one of the bedrooms. Bella and Maya laid Sabrina down on the bed.
"What's wrong with her?" Maya asked seeing Sabrina was unconscious and also covered in wounds.
"We were attacked by Darken. She was quite badly injured. Can you heal her like before?"
"I'll try. But can't you heal her too?"
"I've tried. You see, this is not my body and I can't control this power like before. Not all powers will work with me." Bella sat beside Sabrina who was lying down.
"What do you mean? So she is--"
Bella nodded. "She is the chosen one now. My descendant. You know the previous chosen one can appear when they have to guide the chosen one now. Just like me before" Bella explained. Her breath was irregular. She was getting weaker. "I have something to do outside, please take care of her for a while."
Bella stood up with all her strength and headed out of the house. She looked at the sky between the trees that covered it. She sighed. She had to tell the other Elders before it was too late. Bella closed her eyes and controlled her breathing. She opened her eyes and looked up at the sky again. Bella made a ball of smoke from both of her hands. The ball of smoke was grayish white. She spun the ball while reciting a spell.
"Trimite mesajul meu."
"Trimite mesajul meu."
"Trimite mesajul meu."
"PERCION MAGIDARCIA!!!"
Bella shouted while throwing the smoke ball up. The smoke ball broke into white light and formed a white wing then turned black and circled in the sky then formed the word Disprea. And so on. It was a warning for the Aeshu about attacks from Darken and Disprea meant a city that had been attacked. Bella noticed the sign then fell to the ground. She was unconscious, as was Keyra who was in that body.
