It was morning, but still darkness covered the sky. Xavi wrapped himself around Josephine tightly, holding her as he lay his head on her chest. She rubbed his back and hair softly when Adris knocked on the door loudly.
"Open the door, Papa! I want my Jojo!" Adris said.
Xavi chuckled, and Josephine opened the door.
"Hi, Mama!" he said as he raised flowers to her.
Josephine gasped in her mind. Xavi smiled. Adris hugged her, and she held him softly. Josephine wiped her tears. Xavi hugged her from behind.
During lunch, Josephine was at the garden floating as Kara appeared, and they all walked to the back. Lightning struck in the sky — the sky became red as Josephine's eyes were closed. Two weapons came down.
"That is the Aetherstarved Claws and Versatility," Kara said. "I once used the Aetherstarved Claws to wipe out kingdoms, killed kings and foolish assholes," Kara said as they looked at her.
"What!?"
"They tried to kill me, so I fought back," Kara said as Josephine raised her right hand up and the weapons went into the ring. Her eyes glowed; she floated down and yawned. Then a paper dropped down. She held it and opened it — it was a map.
"MAP!!!!!!" Josephine said in her mind, jumping up and down.
"THE MAP OF ZEPHYRIA!!!!" Kara said, running to her as Josephine jumped on Kara, and they spun around giggling. Oliver smiled at Kara. Xavi watched his happy wife.
Kara and Josephine opened the map. At first, it was the normal map of all kingdoms.
"Where is Zephyria?" Josephine said in her mind as the family and gang were in the meeting room.
"I'm sure you will find it, love. Check," Xavi said, drinking a cup of blood.
Josephine looked at it as she touched the middle of the map and closed her eyes. The map shone and lifted up. She looked at it and saw all the kingdoms — and finally, Zephyria.
"Home…" Kara said with tears.
Josephine smiled at her, wiping her tears.
"After the purple moon, Josephine shall claim the throne. Nobody except the Queen shall sit on the throne," Kara said as they hugged.
Josephine waved at her as she and Oliver waved back. Kara became Queen of Crimson Hollow. She and Oliver moved to the castle, while King Nereon and Queen Victoria retired and moved to the other side of Crimson Hollow.
Xavi hugged Josephine so tight because he missed her so much. As promised, he took her outside and stood in the middle of the castle backyard. She held Adris; everyone came out.
His energy was the strongest aura in all the kingdoms. Josephine felt it. He stood as his form came out — he growled as he turned into a giant red beastly monster form. His eyes were red. Xoni came out as she also shifted into her wolf form. Anesthesia watched her.
Both the twins howled into the sky. Adris flew up to his father, and his eyes became red and shifted like Xavi's as the three of them howled. Josephine smiled at them with Anesthesia.
Tess and Noah had a huge fight because of Asku, who claimed that Noah slept with her. Tess walked out of the castle.
Josephine, who was clapping, saw Tess crying and running as Xavi walked to her.
"What's wrong?" he said as they looked at her.
"Teresa (Tess)," Josephine said in her mind.
"What happened to Tess?" Xavi said as Josephine's anger grew. Within a blink of an eye, she vanished.
Tess was attacked by a group of men — they were trying to rape her.
"Noah!!!" Tess said with tears as Noah heard her.
"Tess…" Noah said as the family watched him run outside and shift into his mighty form. He howled while running.
Josephine appeared as she held Tess. A man stabbed her, which made Josephine extremely angry. She held the Sword of the Fallen Angels and beheaded them.
One of them said it was Princess Asku that sent them.
Josephine dragged the man by his head as Noah arrived. He saw his wife bleeding and his little sister holding his wife over her shoulders.
Xavi saw them through his vision as he gave his family and gang details.
"She just killed them all," Xavi said with a laugh.
"Tess!!!" Noah said as Josephine stopped him and made a Don't touch her sign.
She was disappointed.
As they arrived home—
"Josephine?" Therodora said.
Josephine dropped Tess and healed her wound, but the stab wound was still there. The healers took her to Nana's house.
Josephine's eyes fell on Asku with anger. She stabbed her — just like the way they stabbed Tess.
Asku screamed. At that point, her parents came.
"Asku!" Queen Maira said.
Josephine held the sword.
"I swear I wasn't pregnant for Noah! It was a lie! I just wanted him!" Asku said, and Josephine became more angry. She was about to kill Asku.
Xavi held her hand. He arrived with ultra speed.
"That's enough," he said as she looked at him with blue glowing eyes.
She looked at everyone and went into Tess and Noah's room.
"Please don't take her away from me, Jojo," Noah said as he followed her.
Xavi pulled Noah to talk.
"Let her go for a few days — she will be fine. You know she's like a mother to Josephine, and now Josephine is very angry, and she's taking her. I promise she will be back," Xavi said, and Noah held his tears.
"In the meantime, fix yourself," he said again as Josephine carried Tess to Nana's house.
Nyx was there; she helped Josephine with Tess.
After an hour, she woke up. Josephine held her hand.
"Thank you so much, baby…" Tess said.
Josephine hugged her.
Xavi brought some of her clothes and Adris as he kissed her and went back.
By midnight, Noah snuck into Tess's room. She was asleep, holding the teddy bear Noah gave her for their anniversary.
"I am very, very, extremely sorry, my sweet love," Noah said with tears, and he kissed her soft lips gently and covered her more. He walked back into his room and locked it.
"Teresa…" he said in a whisper tone and cried himself to sleep.
