Selene

Pandemonium reigned within the castle walls of Leimpia. Guards scurried about, frantic to locate the dragon responsible for the destruction and the gruesome discovery of the ashed lycan skeleton.

Meanwhile, Dominik had snatched the sunstone and hastened to Ophelia's chambers. As he entered, the stone vanished from his grasp, only to reappear floating above Ophelia's head.

"What... what is that?" His voice trembled as he stumbled backward, shocked.

Before he could react, the sunstone plunged into Ophelia's forehead, disappearing from view.

Dominik's face contorted in horror. "Ophelia!" he gasped, fear clawing at his voice. He rushed to her side, sweeping her into his arms.

"No! No! This wasn't supposed to happen!" Panic consumed him, and with a desperate roar, he smashed through the wall, transforming into his dragon form as he burst free.

With Ophelia clutched tightly in his claws, Dominik soared into the sky, vanishing into the distance.
