"After Lilith, he had been with me the longest. He fought beside me, supported me and helped me in bringing you back."


    As introduced all the people in his team as Mise didn''t know about anyone in the team.


    "Overwhelmed?" After introducing everyone, he asked Mise. He could see on her face that she was quite overwhelmed. Then again, it was normal. One moment, she was a child and the next moment she was an adult. Her brother had changed and so did her entire world.


    Mise didn''t know how to react. She just looked at everyone, somewhat nk.


    As stepped closer.


    "This time don''t attack me. You just became a Progenitor, so you need to learn to control your strength first. But before that..."


    He turned to Lilith. "Lilith, can you help dry her clothes?"


    Lilith nodded. It was a simple thing. Mise had been inside the water for a long time. Not only her clothes but her face and her hair was also still wet.


    Lilith cast a spell, raising his right hand gracefully.


    A warm wind surrounded Mise, drying her clothes. Within five seconds, Mise was in warm clothes. Her hair was also dry.


    She just looked in amazement. She had just experienced magic for the first time.


    "Lilith is a Witch. Vor and Lancaster are Werewolves. You and I are Progenitors now." As gave a brief. "This was the only way to bring you back from death, by making you an undying Vampire."


    "I am a... Vampire?"


    Mise looked at her hands, noticing they were very pale. "But my eyes... They aren''t red! Your eyes aren''t either."


    "There are Vampires who don''t have red eyes. It''s normal. It''s just that red eyes are moremon so we only knew about them," As exined. "Now that you are a Progenitor, you are the strongest Vampire and you''re impossible to kill. Still, you have a lot to learn which I''m sure you''ll do in time."


    "Until then, shall we leave this ce?"


    As kept that ck stone in his Spatial storage, using his spell. He didn''t give that special Progenitor Stone to Lilith. He also didn''t want to leave it here as there were many people who now knew about this stone, including Luna. He believed it was safer if he just kept it.


    Mise could only agree. She couldn''t recognise As, but she decided to believe him when he said that he was As. She was mostly sure of it. If she could look different now, why can''t he? Moreover his words and his actions... They all proved that he was As.


    Initially, she was too much in a shock to react, but after making sure that he was As anding to her senses, she just hugged As, losing control of his emotions. The moment of her death was still shing before her eyes. Even though she was perfectly fine now, she was still thinking about her death and how scared she was.


    As wrapped his hands around Mise as well, realizing what she was feeling. "Don''t worry. You are safe now. No one can harm you now... Not even those Vampires. In fact, they should be scared of you now."<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You can kill them with a single finger, you know?" he asked.


    Mise was still in disbelief but she nodded. "I was so scared. I am sorry for messing things up for you..."


    "You didn''t do anything. Don''t think about that. It''s all in the past. Carlisle is also dead now and he died a really bad death at that.''


    After a long hug, Mise finally freed As.


    She knew that the man before her was As, but she also knew that it was going to take her a long time to be ustomed to his new face.


    As held Mise''s hands and took her back to leave. Along the way, he told her more about the Progenitors, regarding how they were the first Vampires and how they started their own lineage.


    Hearing all these, Mise was taken aback. She looked in surprise. Were Progenitors really that special? Then how was it so easy to be one?


    She directly asked this question.


    "Even I''m not sure how this actually works," As answered. "But fortunately I managed to pull it off."


    So far, he didn''t tell Mise about the fact that he wasn''t really a Progenitor and that he was just in the body temporarily. She was just back. He didn''t want to make her sad by telling her more than she needed to know.


    He cast a flight spell, looking at the light in the sky. His body started rising in the air with Mise, stunning her even more. She couldn''t believe she was flying. It was all so incredulous that it made her wonder if she was dreaming.


    Everything that she came to know in thest few hours made her believe that it couldn''t be real.


    "This is a dream, isn''t it?" she asked, hesitant. She didn''t want this to be a dream, but it felt real as well.


    "If it''s a dream, then it''s surely one I don''t ever want to end," As answered, smiling wryly.


    He knew that it wasn''t a dream, but he could understand why it would feel like a dream. If he was in her ce, he would''ve thought the same thing. In fact, when he first woke up in Castiel''s body, even he wondered if it was a dream, which he still remembered. Thus he couldn''t fault her.


    Asnded on the ground outside. The others also came out,nding around them. As soon as they all came out, the crack in the ground started closing up.


    The opening in the ground returned to the way it used to look before. There was not even a glimpse left which could make it feel like there was ever a crack in the ground.


    Lilith also cancelled the protection spell in the surroundings as she didn''t need it any more.


    "This ce... Is it...?" Mise looked at the vige behind her, recognizing where they were.
