Love From Darkness

Immortal Crystal

Alberto welcomed Catherine's arrival happily. He hugged her happily.

"Finally our plan worked," said Alberto.

"Right. Have you gotten rid of Alex and Ben?" she asked.

"Of course. The red dragon clan will always be my enemy. It doesn't matter if they support me or not," said Alberto.

"What about Alice?" Alberto asked back.

"The woman is on her way to her death," said Catherine.

"Good. Let's take control of this country."

Catherine nodded. On the other hand the five knights came to Alice's place. But there was no one there. As they were about to leave, the television in the room broadcast a news that finally the presidential election would be held in three days. There are only two presidential candidates, namely Alberto and Gonzales.

"This is bad, where is Alice. Is it possible that Alberto caught her?" asked Virgo.

"There is no other way. We are forced to carry out the last option. This is the choice we will regret the most," said Zayn.

The five knights stared at each other. They immediately got into the car. This time their goal is a secret vampire site. Only the red dragon clan knows of the place.

"Come on, quickly!" shouted Philip.

They come down. The five of them ran into the forest until they reached the side of a steep cliff. The five knights flew between the cliff walls until they arrived at the mouth of a cave. The five of them rushed in.

"Who's coming?" A voice echoed.

"We're the five knights of the Red Dragon clan!" all five shouted at the same time.

"Say the passcode." The voice echoed again.

"The world is at peace, humans come first. If our nation is the cause, we will also solve it. Even if our lives are at stake!" shouted the five knights.

The cave shook. The stone door shifted slowly. The five knights entered. They occupy the Symbol of the five elements of nature in the center of the room. Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Earth.

"We five knights summon the crystal of immortality!" Shouted the five knights. The five nature element logos shine.

While in the basement Daniel feels something in his chest. Daniel was in pain, but he tried to hold it in.

"What happened!?!" asked Alex.

Ben who knew about the immortality crystal was wide-eyed. If the crystal is awakened by the five knights, it means the vampire nation will be extinct.

"No way. This can't be happening." Ben panicked.

"Why? What happened to Daniel?" Lee panicked. He wanted to help Daniel, but his hands and feet were also in chains. But his heart couldn't bear to see Daniel in pain.

"Looks like the crystal of immortality will be resurrected. This must be the work of the five knights," Ben panicked.

"Crystal of immortality?" asked Alex.

"That's right. The crystal will enter Daniel's body. After that he will kill all the vampires, because they are considered a threat to human life. Then it's up to Daniel. Whether vampires will remain or perish."

"What!?! Is there really such a crystal?" Alex panicked too.

"It's all our fault. We shouldn't think of the story of the immortal crystal as just a fairy tale in the vampire world." Ben felt very sad. He felt that he was the cause of his people perishing.

"Fairy tales? You mean the treaty of the two realms?" asked Alex.

"That's right. Long ago humans and vampires made a pact to live side by side. Because humans are weak they will be the leaders in this world. Meanwhile, vampires are tasked with keeping their people from attacking humans let alone ruling the world. The power of vampires is very dangerous and detrimental because of that. "In addition to the same right to life, vampires swear to maintain balance. If vampires violate then they will destroy themselves through a prince who has a clean heart. He will decide when the crystal enters his body," said Ben. Who would have thought that the story was true. Ben also just realized that the five knights who can never be defeated and killed are the guardians of the immortal crystal.

"What should we do?" Alex asked scared.

"What should we do? It's our fault Alex. We have betrayed our own people. We have also caused the destruction of our own nation." Ben took a deep breath. He will accept the consequences of his actions. If anyone was to blame, then it was his fault. Since the rebellion and murder of the red dragon clan family. He is also involved. He even killed Daniel's father himself. Just because his love was betrayed he has become a real monster. Shamelessly betrayed his own nation and joined the traitors who made his people no longer have self-respect.

Daniel listened to everything. His aching chest glowed. It was the mark where the red dragon sword had stuck there.

"Daniel, hang on," Lee said trying to give him support.

Daniel screamed in pain. While elsewhere the crystal of immortality appeared, the five knights entered the crystal. Then the crystal flew as fast as light pierced anything into the sky and flew so very fast to where Daniel was.

The purplish light dazzled everyone. Daniel had to squint to see it. The moment the crystal entered into Daniel's left chest. Daniel's screams penetrated to the top. Of course his voice made Alberto and Catherine curious. They hadn't tortured him and hadn't made any calculations, but Daniel's screams were so loud.

"You heard that, we'd better see. I wonder what happened that Daniel shouted that," said Catherine.

Albert nodded. The two of them immediately walked towards the basement. The door can be opened from the outside, but cannot be opened from the inside.

"Hello all how are you?" said Catherine.

"Who are you?" asked Ben.

"I'm Alberto's sister. Remember!?!" said Catherine.

Ben fell silent. He had heard that Alberto had a sister from his father's other wife. But the two of them are always together like husband and wife. Since Ben hadn't seen Catherine since joining, he thought the rumors weren't true. But it turns out...

"Why did you betray me, Albert!" Alex shouted disapprovingly. He called Alberto by name only with the intention of disrespect.

"I am a king. Why would I believe in people who are willing to betray their own master. Now you betray Daniel. Next time you will definitely betray me. I am not a fool. So before all that happens I better get rid of you first," said Alberto.

"You..." Alex was about to attack Alberto, but he realized that his hands and feet were bound by chains that he couldn't break.

"Want to attack me? Even if I untie the chain I can kill you. I'm not your opponent stupid. Aware of your position!" snapped Alberto.

Meanwhile Catherine approaches the unconscious Daniel. He pulled his chin so he could see his face.

"Fainted. Too bad he's a human now. If only vampires might..."

"Maybe what. Don't try to say you're interested in him," Alberto threatened.

Catherine smiled faintly then backed away letting Alberto see Daniel.

"Why is he screaming!?!" asked Alberto.

No one answered.

"Why are you quiet? Are you guys hiding something?" asked Alberto.
