It had been several days and nights, but the Kades or rather anyone in the area showed no signs of waking up. After what felt like decades the Alveraz family woke up, however, to their horror they were different and still stuck in the prison created by Dave. After the awakening of the main family other subsidiary families also woke up with the same reaction as the Alveraz, horror and dread. A few days later the creatures that had attacked the Kades seem to crumble into the desert sands showcasing their deaths. Finally, the long-awaited captors of the Alveraz coven had woken up.
Dave seemed to have felt a storm being unleashed within him, however, he did not feel any pain but the opposite it felt comforting. He instinctively knew that he was just about to awaken his semi-demon form. The sands around the tomb began to fall slightly inward at first but then they stormed towards Dave, carrying along the coven. It took a few minutes for Dave to realize what was going on and stopped. Even with the quick decision the tomb was now completely covered, and the coven of witches had come remarkably closer. When Dave looked closely, he saw that each and every member seemed to have grown unique extremities such as tails, wings, horns, and their eyes were a different... uh like non-human.
Ivy: You have harnessed the power of the source?
Prisoner: I am Carlos Alveraz, the current head of the Alveraz coven of the pyramids.
Lexi: Uh... uh... they... are...
Tomas: What an interesting discovery!
Carlos: May we inquire of what has happened to our bodies!!? And if it is possible to release us from our binds?
Dave: Warlocks!! All of them! Firsts since the age of Christ.
Tomas: This can be taken as an opportunity for you, Alveraz coven, as you now command great power.
Ivy: Carlos Alveraz have you ever heard of the Warlock race?
Carlos: No.
Lexi: They are a mixed breed of demons and witches can be called demon spawn.
Dave: How though? How did this happen?
Tomas: The blood from the first verse is no longer here. It is most likely that, it was used to turn them.
Carlos: Are you saying that we are no longer human witches?!
Ivy: That is correct. You are now Warlock's creatures of old and very powerful. They have certain skill sets such as now you can use the Dark Arts, those extremities will enhance your physical attributes, oh and you have no natural life span hence are immortal.
Carlos: Immortal!!? And we can use Magic!!? But the dark arts you speak of has not been used in a long time.
Tomas: The Art used by the demons and other creatures of the demon realm. Becoming Warlocks, you will be sought after by many high-level figures in the Old World. However, this does not mean that you have to follow us, but it means that we have the means to help you survive.
Lexi: Now that you have our blood you will also take a new name.
Dave: Carlos Alveraz will now be Carlos Alveraz Von-Stai.
Coven-member: Have the Von-Kade heard of the Salem Trials?
Kades: No. We have not.
Tom: What might your name be, young lady?
Feri: Feri Bishop my Lord. I will inform you then of the Salem Trials. They were a coven of witches who want to keep the veil between the dark intact. However, with my Lord and his family's appearance into this plane the entire coven is overturned. But luckily the coven had the foresight to plant a member of the trial in each major witch coven and supernatural organization. And with that, I would like to show Lady Ivy a talent of mine to have me in her service.
||Pliróno me tin psychí mou||
The girl had formed a triangle around her forehead and closed her eyes.
||Gi 'aftó desméfste ton daímoná sas sti sárka kai sta ostá ton syngenón mou||
She jerked her eyes open, and the triangle aimed on to Ivy. Her eyes could be seen to change in color and lose their young luster.
||Na fylakisteís gia aioniótita||
Feri had now completely been taken over by a wave of energy that seemed old and of Mystic origin.
||Se desmévo ton Ivy Ash Von-Kade se aftó to vasíleio||
Just as she finished the last verse Tom screamed on top of his lungs as Siri had just now translated the spell of the young witch who turned into energy and enveloped Ivy.
The energy was colorless and gooey, slugging its way around Ivy's body before forming into chain-like restraints binding her to the Kingdom of the Nile. Ivy who was the victim in all of this seemed to be gazing off into the horizon as though the ongoings of right now are of no concern to her.
Carlos: Bound by the chains of the veil Lady Ivy shall be imprisoned here until the veil is no more or she dies, however seeing that she is immortal...
Caroline: I believe the only remaining way is to seek out the Trial members and proceed from there.
Alveraz Butler: There is a wonderful opportunity coming up as well. The birth of the original vampires has caused the gathering of witches from all four corners. I heard even the heads of the New World's Coven of Eight will be there as well.
Twins: Brother! now what?
Tomas: Take the Alveraz to Aquileia and teach them basic dark magic spells while I go and visit someone. Carlos other than your family does your coven have any subordinate family as well.
Carlos: Yes Lord, this one has two subordinate families Swann and Iris they both have had some talent in the arts, however, after the change I can no longer be certain.
Tom: Well only the Alveraz family will learn the spells as for your subordinates you will have to do this on your own. And make sure to teach them proper well-rounded spells as we will be crashing the witches gathering. Now then... Leave what are you waiting for?!!
After the crowd had dispersed Tom went over to chat with his now bound sister.
Ivy: You would be a great leader you know. There are many things that must be done so don't dillydally and hurry up you mustn't leave any survivors.
Tom: Alright, I will be going now and remember this after it is all done, we will come back and visit.
With that Tom to left, Ivy who now seemed to have all the time in the world was thinking how she had gotten into this predicament. It was then that she realized that her siblings and herself have constantly called each other by their given names. In the beginning, it was not a problem but now that there are people who can use this against them, it would be wise to stop continuing this habit.
Time moved on and unknowingly Ivy fell a sleep.
After what left like hours, she woke up with an idea for her new name Rose would do perfectly. Then she remembered there was a Sphinx here before the change.
Ivy: Hey! you still there?
Sphinx: Ahhh! what is it you want child why must you be so loud
Ivy: I was wondering if you would like to explain to me the story behind the object you are guarding?
Sphinx: ...
Sphinx: The arm is of no concern to you hence I shall relay the legend of the Staff of the Doormen to you.
Ivy: Well, I don't mind, go right ahead.
