Ember's POV

I inhaled and exhaled, my eyes closed.

Ember, wake up, danger is coming. Something said to me.

I opened my eyes to see that I was in a bright realm. It was so bright, that I couldn't see anything.

"What... is this place?" I asked.

"Oh, Ember," a familiar voice said. "Can't you tell?"

I turned around to see a hooded man walking towards me.

"Kyllian Wilcox?" I exclaimed in horror. "No! It can't be! You're still alive?!"

"Indeed I am," Kyllian replied. "Our battle has seemed to prove futile."

"What kind of menacing plans do you have in your mind this time?!" I asked.

"I want to collect all the relics," he explained. "I want them in my possession."

"Are you crazy?!" I asked. "If you possess all the relics, you'll kill yourself!"

Kyllian laughed at that. "That's the least of my worries," he told me. "I've already lost two of my slaves, I won't afford to let you stand in my way."

"Slaves? What slaves?!" I demanded.

"Damian and Tsuki," Kyllian replied, and I froze, as I remembered Damian. "Both of them were easy to corrupt, in fact, Damian was my first victim."

"And what about Tsuki?"

"Tsuki..." Kyllian explained. "She was one of Stella's closest friends when they were young. When the Coven got destroyed, I found her, and managed to corrupt her.

"You're deranged!" I screamed. "Killing the innocent and brainwashing them! All you're doing is scavenging for these relics that nobody should be wielding! They're too powerful, and all they'll do is cause mass destruction!"

"All I want is to have everything under my control..." Kyllian told me.

"I will stop you!" I shouted. "Before you manage to corrupt anyone else!"

"Oh, it's too late, I'm afraid," Kyllian told me. "You have already lost... and I have already won."

"What do you mean you've already won?!" I asked.

Kyllian laughed. "How relieving is it that you're no longer in my way," he said. "You'll no longer interfer with my plans."

"What plan?!" I demanded. "What are you talking about?!"

"Oh, Ember... your friends..." Kyllian said slowly. "I could kill them right now if I wanted to... but I have something else in store for them."

"What do you want from my friends?!" I yelled. " What are you going to do with them?!"

"Oh, Ember," Kyllian replied, laughing as if I was a clumsy six year old. "Keeping them all alive will just make it even more entertaining when you see the end results of my plan..."

Kyllian lifted the Red Ender eye and the Red Ender Crystal. Two of the corrupted relics.

They began to glow and I covered my eyes.

"The end of your story is coming to a close..."
