THIS IS THE TIME

Even when she saw Serefina and Lucifer standing not too far from her, talking the same exact thing that she had remembered hearing before this, couldn't surprise Hope anymore.

Deep down, she knew that this was bound to happen, but she didn't think it would be happening right after she had regained her consciousness, after what seemed like spending a life of eternity in the realm that belonged to her.

Hope still remembered the last thing she saw in her realm; Calleb and Ethan's backs, where she noticed the same dark aura surrounding their beings just like what she observed on Raine's frame.

That was all before she regained her consciousness in the other realm, with the moon goddess, who helped her out on the task given to her by Lilac…

"Prove your loyalty and I will spare your life!" Lucifer hollered at Serefina.

The witch's red hair was disheveled and her clothes were worn out, with dried blood on her head and split lips.
