Ravien wasn't able to finish processing the things that he saw when he crashed down an old house.

Lilith landed gracefully.

She removed her broken mask and revealing her face.

Ravien struggled to get to his feet, now back in his human form.

It was evident that he was still adjusting to his newly obtained power.

He looked up and saw the person his fighting was not Dalveth.

Ravien would have known about it due to his uncle and tribe's horrifying story about the hideous monster.

What Ravien saw was a woman standing in front of him under the moonlight

Looks like the spotlight was on Lilith. A small golden pendant shined on her neck.

Ravien quickly noticed this.

"You...you're not Dalveth! Where is he?! Where is my sister?! Why are you wearing her necklace?!" Ravien shouted to Lilith as the sun necklace revealed itself too.

"Max... Mina... please stop. Our children." a voice of a man and a woman filled the house.

Lilith and Ravien both heard the ghostly voices.

Lilith got distracted by the voices.

"Not this again! STOP!! I'm Lilith!" She screamed

Ravien was shocked, "You...you're Mina?! My sister?!".

"I'm not Mina! I don't know who you are talking about! I'm Lilith, daughter of Dalveth!" Mina shouted irritatedly.

"Please, Mina. Look at your necklace under the moonlight! If you are its real owner, it will show you a name. Your name," Max begged.

Still irritated. Mina looked at her necklace and was surprised that the name Mina appeared on the necklace.

Frustration filled Mina. She ripped off the necklace from her neck and threw it on the ground.

"You're just tricking me! I'm Lilith, the daughter of Dalveth. My only family!" Mina shouted in full frustration as sirens started to ring across Evangelica.

It was the siren of retreat.

Ravien ran to Mina and held her. "Please, Mina, You're my only family. Come back home! I'll tell you everything. You're being tricked!"

"Get off me!" a confused Mina shouted as she kicked Ravien and jumped high into a roof. She took another glance at Ravien.

"I'm not your family. I will destroy you, and your friends, and then this whole forsaken world!" That was Mina's last words as she escapes and disappears.

Ravien was lying flat on the ground, filled with mixed emotion. He was happy that he finally saw her sister but also distraught that she has become an ally of their enemy.

Ravien caught the attention of the shining necklace, the only memorabilia of her sister. As he picked it up, Ravien felt the unusual aura once again, and this time it didn't disappear.

Ravien turned around, and there he saw a faint violet glow that's coming from the rubble.

He dug through the rubble and discovered a secret door on the floor. It was locked and sealed with magic.

It seems a dead-end for Ravien when suddenly the door unlocked and opened itself. And there he saw a small floating violet glow.

The glow moves further down the room.

Ravien wasn't sure if he wants to follow it, but then his grandmother whispered to his thoughts. "Go on. Don't be shy."

He trusted the voice inside his head. He climbed down and followed the orb. There was another door that has a circle sigil that looks like it represents both the sun and the moon.

Under the sigil was the word

"Raviere."

The glow passed through it, and the door opened itself once again.

Ravien was now in a small room. He noticed another door with a sigil of a cross inside a circle. The sigil of the Cathedral and looked like it's the pathway going to the structure.

The glow moved to the center of the room. Positioned itself on top of a small pillar and transforming itself into a box.

Ravien moved closer to the box to check it. It was a wooden box with a keyhole that was shaped like a sun and another hole at the center which is for Ravien's moon.

He further inspects the box.

A ghostly image of Evangelie appeared beside Ravien.

"Looks like the prophecy chose you." and then she smiled at Ravien.

---

Ravien looked at her with pure innocence but can't hide that he got a little spooked.

"Evangelie...no Grandma?" Ravien told Evangelie.

"Oh, look at you, Max, you've grown so much! Such a handsome man. Your mom and dad would be proud of you." Evangelie giggled.

Ravien blushed.

"Now, what are you waiting for? Go on, open the box. It's waiting for you." Evangelie added

"B..but, how?" asked Ravien. But before he could ask further.

Mina's necklace started glowing inside his palm along with his necklace too

"Of course! Mina's sun necklace and my moon necklace! They're the keys!" Ravien finally figured it out

Ravien inserted the sun and moon necklace into their respective keyholes. The wooden box opened itself.

It contained a glowing violet orb. Ravien took it and examined it on his palm.

The orb levitated, dividing itself into 12 smaller orb pieces, and flew straight to the Gemini distributing itself evenly.

Ravien took out the Gemini, now containing six orbs on each gun. 3 per side.

"It has begun my son. The war was just a taste, and you are now part of a more prominent role in this world, no, but a larger dimension. Use your new skills for good, to understand each and every being, to save the damned, to save Mina.

She has fallen deep in Dalveth's plan. Be the moonlight that guides her and other lost souls back to the path," Evangelie reminded Ravien

"But what if I can't fulfill this role you're asking? What if I fail you?" Ravien anxiously asked

"That's why you have your family and friends are there. Fenrir, Sacrifars, your new friends, and us to help you along the way. You don't have to do it alone anymore, my son." Evangelie replied as she smiled at him

"New friends?" Ravien with zero clues asked her grandmother

Evangelie giggled and then said, "You'll meet them soon. They have the answers to some of your questions."

"I wish I could talk to you more, Grandma. I wish I could have known you better and Mother and Father." Ravien replied, getting emotional.

Evangelie chuckled. "Oh, you sweet boy. We will always be in here," Evangelie pointed to Ravien's heart, and then two ghosts appeared beside Evangelie. It was his mother and father.

"We love you and miss you, Son. Please promise to save your sister. You are her only hope." said Ravien's parents as they smiled.

"I love you too. Mom and Dad. I promise I'll get her back" Ravien replied

Ellie and Harry smiled as they faded out

---

"Raviennnn! Where are you!? Raviennn!" Ravien looked up and could hear Fenrir and Furray above the ground.

"C'mon now child. You don't want to worry your family further." Evangelie said

"Wait, grandma! I still have one more question. I don't know how to use this power you gave me!" Ravien spoke, and as he turned around, he was already talking to nobody.

"Raviennnnn!! If you're still alive, say something!" Fenrir screamed once more

"I'm here!! I'm here!" Ravien shouted back, he rushed towards the dark tunnel and upwards the secret door and finally revealing himself to Fenrir and Furray

"Oh, goodness, you're alive!" Fenrir hugged his nephew.

"Not so tight, uncle. Wounds...still fresh" Ravien replied

The three of them laughed.

"Okay, boys, as much as I don't want to ruin your family moment, I think we need to get back and meet the others," Furray laughed. They headed back to Evangelica's plaza.

The sun was rising, and they knew it would be a good day. Ravien told Fenrir and Furray what happened to him on their way back.

About the transformation, Mina, her escape, meeting his family, and the orb.

"Orb?" Fenrir curiously asked

"Yes, it's a violet orb that grandma gave. She said it's part of something like a bigger role." Ravien replied

"What a coincidence..." Fenrir told Ravien

"What coincidence?" Asked Ravien curiously

"You'll find out later. I think they were looking for you." Fenrir answered

"They?" Ravien more curiously asked

As they near the plaza. Ravien saw that Evangelica is starting to get up from the horrors of the war. The victims and the wounded finally being treated.

"What will happen to them? Not all of them are evil." Ravien asked Fenrir and pointing out to the vampire bitten victims.

"They will be like us, we will find a cure for them, or we will help them harness their new abilities into doing something good and useful. Maybe it's time for the Sacrifar to expand, don't you think?" Fenrir replied

Ravien smiled and said, "That sounds good!"

"Thank goodness. Your safe." Paw greeted Ravien. He didn't quickly notice that he was already holding Ravien's hand. Paw removed his hand upon knowing this and turned around from Ravien, feeling shy.

Ravien smiled.

"RAVIEN!! THERE YOU ARE!! YOU'RE ALIVE!!" shouted Bark and jumping on to Ravien

"Bark! Behave! Have some decency for our guests. But thank goodness, Ravien, you're alive!" Woof said in poise

"Oh, right, right! Sorry for that, Ravien. There are these people who've been bothering us. They said they want to meet you. Urgent. I think they're your fans?" Bark told Ravien

Ravien laughed and said, "Okay, okay, where are they?" Bark and Wolf stepped aside, finally revealing a wizard with a dog, a humanoid with a Katar, an Archer, and a huge minotaur.

"It was you!! At the portal!" Ravien shouted and still surprised

"Yes, that's us! Nice to meet you! I'm AL; this is Arbit, Hans, and Sylverius."

Arbit nodded, Hans shook his hand, and Sylverius gently waved his hand and said, "Hi!".

AL didn't waste any more time said: "Ravien Sacrifar the wolf gunslinger, we need to talk."

End.
