Enot led the team through the dense forest, with moonlight piercing through the treetops, illuminating the path ahead. The children followed quietly, their eyes hollow, their steps mechanical, as if they were enchanted puppets.
They emerged from the forest into a secluded valley. In the center of the valley stood an ancient and mysterious fortress, with towering walls and flickering lights visible between the turrets.
Enot stopped, turned around to look at the children following him, and a hint of complex emotion flashed in his eyes. These children would become part of their new plan, a plan about power and control.
"This will be your new home," Enot said in a calm and indifferent voice, pointing to the fortress. "Here, you will learn how to become true Warlocks."
The children had no reaction, as if they were puppets being controlled, obediently following Enot into the fortress.
The interior of the fortress was spacious and dark, with tattered tapestries hanging in the corridors and torches on the walls emitting a faint glow. Enot led the children through maze-like corridors, eventually arriving at a grand hall.
In the center of the hall, a tall figure stood waiting for their arrival. It was Nicholas, the king of the demon clan and the mastermind behind this operation.
Nicholas's eyes gleamed with a cold light, and a faint smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. " Enot, you've done well."
Enot He nodded slightly, his eyes firm: "Respected lord, everything is for the future of the demon race."
Nicholas Walking towards the children, his gaze swept over their faces one by one: "These children will become our new strength. They will grow under our guidance to become warriors loyal to the demon race."
The children still had no reaction, their eyes empty as if they had lost their souls.
Nicholas turned to Enot: "Now, we need to start planning our next move. This war is far from over, and we need more power to counter the representatives of light, the holy knights."
Enot nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes: "I understand, my lord. I will continue to carry out your orders."
As their conversation ended, the shadows in the fortress seemed to grow even deeper. And these children were being led into a world filled with darkness and secrets.
On the other side, Mary and John set out on a journey to a distant northern shelter with Emily.
After several days of arduous travel, they finally arrived at a quiet and peaceful small town. The residents here are friendly, the environment is tranquil, and it is far from the chaos of the outside world and the threat of dark forces.
Mary and John found a temporary home here, hoping to provide a safe and happy environment for Emily.
At the same time, on the ruins of St. Elda town, the children taken away by Enot were brought to an ancient and mysterious fortress. This fortress was hidden deep in the mountains, surrounded by mist and forests, as if isolated from the world.
Inside the fortress, the children were forced to undergo strict training and brainwashing. Gradually, they lost their self-awareness and became loyal warriors of the demon race. They were instilled with absolute loyalty to the demon race and hatred towards the outside world, becoming a powerful force for the demon race.
At the same time, Mary and John settled in a new town and started a new life. Mary found a job, while John stayed at home to take care of Emily.
One day, a shadow silently slipped into this peaceful little town. As night fell, Mary and John were immersed in sweet dreams, oblivious to the outside world. The mysterious figure quietly made their way through the streets, heading straight for their home.
Inside, Emily slept peacefully in her little bed, wearing an innocent smile on her face.
The mysterious figure gently pushed open the door, moving with a light and agile step, like a gust of wind. His eyes shimmered with an unusual light in the darkness, firmly fixed on the helpless little girl.
He approached Emily's bed with great care, reaching out his hand, preparing to lift her from the bed.
At that moment, Emily seemed to sense something, furrowing her brow slightly, but still did not wake up. The mysterious figure paused for a moment, checked for any abnormalities around, then quickly picked up Emily and carefully wrapped her in a cloak.
He turned and left the room, moving quickly and cautiously to ensure no sound was made. As he passed through the living room, preparing to leave the house, a faint sound broke the silence of the night.
"Ah?" Emily murmured in her dream, her eyes fluttering open to gaze confusedly at the stranger holding her.
The mysterious figure abruptly stopped in his tracks, feeling a jolt of surprise. He lowered his head and, in a gentle yet cold voice, reassured her, "Don't be afraid, little princess, we're going to a new place."
Emily's eyes gradually focused, and a hint of unease surged in her heart. She wanted to shout, but the mysterious figure's hand had gently pressed over her mouth, casting a small spell that prevented any sound from escaping.
Just then, Mary's room door suddenly opened, and she emerged with a worried and bewildered expression on her face. Her eyes quickly focused on the stranger in the living room, and she exclaimed in alarm, " Emily?"
Mary's voice echoed in the quiet night, filled with fear and despair. She rushed towards the mysterious figure holding Emily, her eyes flashing with a mother's anger and fear.
"Let go of my daughter!" Mary's voice pierced the silence of the night, her hands clenched into fists, ready to protect her child at any cost.
The mysterious figure turned around, his eyes cold and determined, seemingly unfazed by the threat to Mary. A contemptuous smile played at the corner of his mouth as he swiftly moved towards the window, preparing to escape.
John was also awakened by his wife's scream, and he quickly rushed out of the room. Seeing the scene before him, he immediately understood what had happened and roared as he charged towards the mysterious figure.
"You dare to kidnap my daughter, stop right there!" John's voice was filled with anger and strength, his eyes flashing with determination to protect his family.
The mysterious figure seemed to realize the situation was not good, he quickly opened the window, leaped out, and disappeared into the night. Mary and John followed closely, rushing out the door, attempting to chase after him.
In the dark of night, the mysterious figure swiftly moved through the streets and alleys, with Mary and John desperately trying to catch up, but gradually falling behind.
"Emily!" Mary's voice was filled with despair, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't give up, continuing to chase after the figure that had disappeared into the darkness.
The night was as dark as ink, and the mysterious figure gradually blurred in the darkness, eventually disappearing from sight.
Mary's heart was filled with powerlessness and panic, her steps finally slowed, tears silently streaming down. John rushed to her side, holding her tightly, facing this sudden disaster together.
"Mary, don't worry, we will find her," John said with a firm voice, but his eyes also showed a glimmer of concern. "We won't give up."
Mary nodded, despite feeling full of despair, but she knew she had to stay strong, for Emily. The stars in the night sky seemed dim and lifeless, as if mourning their sorrow.
