"wake up, my lady, we are here. In the imperial city" muttered José while shaking Rachael a little. "Finally, I'm so tired, man. I just wanna go and sleep" said Rachael while stretching a little. Rachael sees a pathway coming all the way out from the door of the mansion. And suddenly she can see someone walking on it. She sees a beautiful young woman with red hair in a maid's outfit.
"My lady, myself Christina Neilson, I am one of the personal hand maidens of the queen. "You, you are a human?" Asked Rachael. "Yes, my lady" replied Christina. "How did you know, I don't think you have ever seen a human before" inquired José. "Well, I have vampire's scent, I have demon's scent and I also have witch's scent. But you remember those people back then who attacked us, they had a different scent. Christina also had a similar scent. So I imagined" explained Rachael.
"My lady, come this way, I'll take you to your room. Please come with me" requested Christina. "Sure, why not. Take the lead, I'm right behind you" replied Rachael with a beautiful smile while tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. Rachael then orders both Jake and José to go and report to Vanessa about what went down.
"May I come in, my lady" a elderly voice knocks on the open door and asks for the permission. "Come in, who is it" replies Rachael while turning her head away from the table on which she was writing something. The moment she sees the person her tensed wrinkles turned into a joyous laugh. "Aunty, finally I've been waiting all day to meet you". Olga enters the room and hugs Rachael and asks "what are you doing, my dear". "Aunty, why do I still have to study elemental magic. I have awakened, remember" whimpered Rachael as she didn't want to study anymore. Olga guffaw and tells her that it's necessary to study elements so that her magical capacity could increase.
"By the way, I came to tell you that from tomorrow onwards your training will start, so be ready" said Olga while sitting down on the chair. "But before all of that, I need to tell you something, about Jane" Olga spoke in an undertone. "Mom?" Rachael spoke out in shock. "Yes, dear. Do you know how your mother died" questioned Olga. "Yes, a little bit. People said that when I was born. I had a curse due to which mom died the moment I came into this world" she mewled.
"That's not true, my child. They were lying. And i ordered them to. I asked them to never tell you the truth about your mother" uttered Olga. "Wait, what. But why, aunty. Did mom do something wrong" Rachael spoke up with an undertone. "No dear, she was great. She was even the commander of royal army. But".
"But what, aunty. Then why did you hide the truth".
"She was corrupted. She lost her sanity to a Zekron" Olga started to unveil the truth. "What's a Zekron, and what do you mean by lost her sanity" questioned Rachael. "Zekron is a Zion who evolved by eating a vampire queen. Till now, we have encountered only one. We tried everything but we couldn't kill it then your mother tried to fought it. But she couldn't win and reached her limit" explained Olga while turning her face away. "Then" Rachael started sobbing. "She told me that their is only one option. She will take that Zekron with herself in a different dimension and as she was doing that. That Zekron infused itself with your mother".
"she still somehow managed to take it with her, but we never heard from her. Ever" as she was telling everything to Rachael tears started running down her cheeks but she quickly turned her face away. "I should go now, please have some rest" said wailing Olga while getting up from her seat and immediately left.
Rachael suddenly started wailing so loudly all of the mansion could hear her in that cold silent night. She cried all night for her mother which she always longed for.
Next morning, everybody is whispering, running in the corridor out of Rachael's room. She had no idea when she fell a sleep on her table after crying her heart out. She wakes up, and walk towards the door. She opens it and sees Jake standing there with his head towards the ground. "What's all this fuss about, Jake" asked Rachael with a bad throat as her throat was hurting due to weeping all night.
"My lady, her majesty, has been" Jake takes a deep breath and continues "she is been killed last night".
