Meanwhile in Phoenicia. . .

Master Ronheild was trying so hard to calm himself. His ragged breath could be heard from a mile away. Tears welled up his eyes as he looked around the academy busling with all beings from all over different realms--the survivors of the relentless siege that started when Venus group left for their quest four days ago. In a span of a few days, the world they knew fell apart.

He was thankful that his hood kept his face well hidden. Amidst his sorrow, he kept a strong demeanor for everyone's sake. It was all he could give them now for he was bound on tight ropes as well. He wanted to send help, however, their realm was under threats too.

"Master, the royalties of the Vampiric Realm has arrived as well. The Queen requests your precence immediately at your office chamber." Vulca said in a calculated tone. It conveys her suppressed inner turmoil. The urgency of the message hinted something was about to get uglier than it already was.

"Thank you, Vulca." Ronheild barely managed to give her a dismissing nod as he replied in a heavy voice before he almost immediately dispersed into a blue hue of fire.

The rules of the Academy was long gone. Though the order was well kept, however, everyone were aware that chaos was just lurking around the corner waiting for its chance to create havoc.

"Is everything alright?"

Queen Adelaide was startled to hear Ronheild's voice. She was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't even see him appear in front of her.

"I apologize for not being attentive. Have you been here long?" She answered him instead.

Ronheild was more surprised to see the formidable Queen in such state. The woman was practically squirming from anxiousness. He watched her wring her hands on her lap absentmindedly.

"The apology is mine. I was insensitive to ask such a trivial question considering our current dilemma." Ronheild said in remorse. He stride towards his seat, "I believe we have an urgent matter to discuss." He asked directly.

"My kingdom and realm has been overtaken. We only managed to bring with us a handful of survivors." Adelaide informed him softly. Her sorrowful voice entails all the pain she must have been going through at the moment. The kind of both mental and emotional blame it brought to a person who couldn't do anything to help her subjects.

"I presume that the assailants were rogue vampires?" Ronheild questioned with conviction. He was waiting for a confirmation only.

"Y-yes. The rest were held hostage inside. The portals were all shut down." Adelaide wore a baffled expression as she stared at him questioningly.

"It's all happening at the same time at every realms except here. I believe the battle has begun its course and the final should be here." Ronheild's voice was laced with anger. The words left a bitter taste on his mouth.

"W-what do mean everywhere?" The queen gasped. Her hands flew to her mouth.

"Everywhere. . ." Ronheild paused to release a sharp breath then continued, ". . . The Werian Realm was attacked by their own militant coup and the Faerian by the dwarfenian faeries."
