Despite Sarah's attempts to move on, the tension in the room did not dissipate. Lilith sat back in her seat, her arms folded across her chest, still visibly upset. Aria tried to engage her in conversation, but Lilith only responded with short, curt answers, clearly not interested in small talk.As the group discussed the details of the weddings, Lilith interjected occasionally, insisting on certain traditions and customs that had to be followed at her wedding. Aria and Adam tried to compromise, but Lilith was inflexible.As the night wore on, the group finally came to a tentative agreement about the wedding plans, but the tension between Lilith and Aria continued to simmer beneath the surface.As the clock struck midnight, Lilith rose from her seat, ready to depart from the meeting. As she made her way to the door, Adam stopped her with a gentle touch on her arm."Lilith, I want to talk to you," he said softly.Lilith hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay."Adam led her to a qu

Lilith gazed at him with wide eyes, her eyebrows furrowed in surprise. "What? Why's that?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Adam gave a small shrug, his hand gently brushing over Lilith's still shaking body. "I just always thought that if we had children, they would be boys. You know, to carry on my legacy," he explained, his voice soft and soothing.A small smile spread across Lilith's lips as she traced her fingers lightly over Adam's firm chest. "Well, who knows?" she said, her voice filled with hope. "Perhaps we will have a daughter who is just as strong and capable as any son."Adam chuckled softly, wrapping his arm around Lilith's waist and pulling her closer to him. "You're right," he agreed, his breath warm against Lilith's ear. "As long as our child is healthy and happy, that is all that truly matters."Lilith nodded in agreement, resting her head on Adam's shoulder and letting out a content sigh. They sat together in comfortable silence for a few moments, enj

After breakfast, Adam led the way to his room with Lilith and Aria in tow, followed by Sarah. Once inside, Sarah curiously asked about it, wondering what was going on."What do you want to show us?" Sarah asked."Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you and the girls, something important," Adam answered as he gestured for them to sit down.Sarah sat down on the bed, facing her son. Aria and Lilith sat on either side of her, looking at Adam expectantly.Adam took a deep breath and began to speak. "As you know, I am... well... different, and with that status comes a lot of danger. People will always be trying to undermine us, to take us down. So, I want you three to undergo some training, to learn how to defend yourselves and protect each other."Lilith and Aria exchanged puzzled looks, while Sarah seemed to be considering Adam's proposal. "What kind of training are you talking about?" Sarah asked."I'm talking about training that goes beyond just physical defense," Adam expla

However, Helia sighed, interrupting their thoughts. "But I'm afraid that's all I can do for now. I can only train Lilith in the use of her fire powers. I am not skilled enough to teach Aria in the use of her nature powers or Sarah in the use of her empathy abilities."Adam looked sad but understanding. He knew that this journey was just beginning."It's okay," he said with a nod. "Lilith can stay here with you and continue her training. Aria and my mom will have to go back to the mortal world."Lilith shivered, not wanting to be left behind in this strange and magical place. She turned to Adam, pleading with him to stay."Please," she said, her voice trembling. "Don't leave me here alone. I'm not sure I can handle it by myself."Adam smiled at her kindly, understanding her fears."Don't worry," he said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I won't be gone for long. I just need to go back to the mortal world to take care of some things. I'll be back in a few hours."Lilith nodde

The atmosphere became tense as Hendrik stepped closer to Adam. Adam didn't back down, but stood his ground."Let me make one thing clear, Hendrik," Adam said, his voice firm and steady. "If you don't listen to what I have to say, there will be consequences."Hendrik chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Are you threatening me, boy?"Adam shook his head, his expression calm. "No, I'm simply stating the facts. You would do well to take me seriously."Hendrik turned his attention to Merrick, his lips curling into a sneer. "And you, Merrick, why are you allowing yourself to be represented by this...nobody?" He gestured dismissively at Adam.Merrick smiled, his eyes never leaving Hendrik's. "You don't know him, Hendrik. If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate him."Hendrik snorted, his face twisting into a look of disbelief. "A young upstart like him? Please. What could he possibly bring to the table?"Sarah, who had been standing quietly to the side, laughed softly. "Oh, Hendrik,
