Within a dark room which was only illuminated by a single lantern placed at the centre of a round table, three chairs were placed near the round table and on those chairs sat three masked figures, each of their masks had a small horn growing out from the forehead. Which pointed to their hierarchy in The Crimson Moon.
"Is everything ready?" one of the masked figures with brown eyes asked as he looked at the masked figure with the grey eyes.
"It is." the grey eyed figure replied with a small nod to the brown eyed figure's question.
"When do you plan to attack?" asked the third masked figure who had green eyes.
"I plan to attack both Damien and Anieal Starborne on the same day." The grey eyed figure answered the green eyed figure's question.
"Are you sure about the turners?" the brown eyes figure asked with a suspicious tone.
"I do not." the grey eyed figure answered without hiding and continued
"I have my spies within them so everything will be as we planned." the grey eyed figure concluded as he looked at others with his confident eyes.
The other two figures nodded at his words and spoke together.
""For the demon lord.""
"For the demon lord."

A room with smooth white walls and systematically spaced tinted blue glass windows gave it a modern look. Multiple photo frames lined the walls, and a flat-screen TV was mounted at the centre, playing a scene of a yellow-haired boy jumping through trees. A comfy sofa was placed in front of the TV, with a small table for snacks set beside it. An attached washroom featured a half-length mirror above a sink, where water poured steadily from the faucet.
Henna stood in front of the mirror, her breathing was heavy. She had dark circles under her eyes, her hands were shaking as she continued to pour water on her face, seemingly trying to wake up from the twisted dream she was in. But no matter what she did nothing worked, she couldn't wake up from this twisted dream no matter how much she tried.
Tears started to pour out of her eyes as she looked at her hands. She could still remember what had just happened. However, she didn't want to remember that again.
After the accident, Henna recovered within a week and returned to her daily life. She woke up early, got ready for college, cooked and ate her food, went to college and had fun with her friends, she returned to her home and completed all of the needed tasks. Even though she was worried about Anna's health she couldn't do much about it. She was living her normal daily life, that is until today.

Anna was currently getting ready to visit the city of Xyontra. She had worn an elegant black gown with intricate golden and silver embroidery adorning it, she had golden star like earrings, A golden pendant lay on her upper body. She had disguised herself as her hair were silver instead of her usual shiny blue hairs, her eyes were onyx-like black instead of emerald-like green. She had used Damien's transformation skill which allowed one to change their body features. However, the changes depend on one's soul. That is why Anna looked very similar to how she did in her soul body.
Anna checked herself out in a full-body mirror as she nodded to herself. She walked towards Veylor who was laying on his belly and picked him up in her arms.
"Let's go, Vey" Anna said as she moved out of her room with Veylor in her arms.
She walked through the hallways of the villa. Her steps echo throughout the lavender blue walls. She soon reached the main entrance of the house and walked towards White who was standing at the clearing where they usually spared with each other. White had donned a black two piece suit with a cream sweatshirt, his hairs were combed.
When Anna looked at him she thought
'He would look much better with his real face…'
Anna called out to him
"White." Her voice was soft and gentle as she spoke.
White turned around to look at her with a smile and replied with a bow.
"Miss Aniela." He paused for a few moments and continued "You look gorgeous, Miss Anieal."
"Of course I do. Haha!" Anna replied as she chuckled.
White looked at her with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, I'm just joking." Anna spoke once again as she looked at White with amusement.
"Let's go." Anna said and started walking towards the gates of the villa.
White followed behind Anna with even steps.
A carriage stood at the gates. It had a vintage royal feel to it as it was covered in celestial golden carvings, Two horse-like star beasts were strapped to the carriage, their dark manes which looked like they were made of shadows themselves floating around like mist. Anna climbed the carriage and White followed suit. The carriage started to move as the shadow-maned star beasts snorted as they started to pull the carriage.
The carriage left the villa behind and moved through the dimly lit smooth-stoned streets of Xyontra, the streets were packed with activity, vendors were shouting as they tried to sell their goods, kids could be seen running around, carriages moving in hurry and much more.
Anna was looking out of the carriage with a small sweet smile on her face. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at the buildings of the Xyontra city. All of the buildings had a vintage feel to them with a blend of modern architecture, the buildings looked like they were a mixture of a vintage-steampunk era. It looked beautiful.
"Wow." A praise left Anna's lips as she looked at the architecture of the Xyontra city, The capital of Xyonthar kingdom.
White also had a small smile on his scarred face as he looked at Anna's excitement filled face.
"We will be having a meal at The Lunar's blessing." White said as he turned to look out of the carriage.
"How good is that place?" Anna asked curiously.
"It is considered the best hotel in the whole Xyontra city." White answered as he continued to look out of the window.
