As dawn breaks, we find Damien, Alexander, and Serelith poring over ancient scrolls and texts in a secluded monastery. They're searching for answers to a burning question: Why did the age-old enmity between the vampires and the hybrids begin?
Damien discovers a fragile manuscript, its pages yellowed with age. It speaks of a prophecy, a shared vision between the first of the vampires and the first of the hybrids. This prophecy foresaw a time when both races would come together under a unified banner, their combined strengths creating an era of peace and prosperity.
However, Alexander finds another text, this one written from a vampire's perspective. It details a great betrayal by the hybrids during a critical battle against a common enemy, leading to a devastating loss for the vampires. This text blames the hybrids, calling them "traitors of the night."
But Serelith, using her cosmic intuition, feels a disparity in the energies of the scrolls. She insists there's more to the story. The trio then discovers a hidden chamber in the monastery, housing an ancient hybrid named Lysandra.
Lysandra, a wise seer with piercing eyes, is the last of her kind with the knowledge of the origins. She reveals that the "betrayal" was a result of a miscommunication. The hybrids had received visions of a trap and tried to warn the vampires, but their warnings were misunderstood, leading to the catastrophic event. The vampires, in their grief and anger, blamed the hybrids, and the schism began.
The two races grew apart, tales of treachery and hatred passed down, further widening the rift. The prophecy that should have been a beacon of hope became a symbol of mistrust. Maria, fueled by personal pain, only deepened this divide with her mission against hybrids.
a profound reflection on the dangers of miscommunication, misunderstanding, and holding onto past grudges. As the truth dawns upon our trio, they realize the gravity of their mission: not just to fight against the Bloodsworn but to heal wounds that have festered for ages.
As night falls, the looming silhouette of the Bloodsworn camp can be seen in the distance. The stage is set for a confrontation, not of swords, but of truths. The episode ends with Damien, Alexander, and Serelith determined to bridge the divide and heal the ancient enmity.
