time forcing you to fight physically, thinking that you wouldn’t be able to with your mind. We are so stupid. You are gifted, Crys. A future All Powerful… you have their magic.”
Starting that night, things changed. Crystal finally started to accept what she was. She trained with more conviction, and worked furiously alongside Miranda, trying to bury her feelings for Falada.
Only Sybil remained withdrawn. She observed the young woman’s progress from a distance. Glory, on the other hand, seemed satisfied, even though the situation worsened elsewhere.
Prince Dimitri did not reappear in person, but the Order of Hell gained in power. Instead of alarming the Dark Clan, this only led it to increase its activities. Many of the Damned Ones aligned themselves with the Forces of Evil, convinced that they would end up winning the eternal secret war against the bloodline of the All Powerful.
But Crystal did not intend to let her enemies go. Discovering that she had a real gift for magic, she was determined to develop it until she could destroy Dimitri. As her power grew, the terror that she felt with regard to him turned into hatred. She had made her decision. She said nothing to the girls ; from now on, it was a personal matter.
Crystal had sworn to herself that she would kill the monster as soon as she was ready.

Colombia, Prince Dimitri’s South American residence
It was one of his most beautiful properties and probably one of the best guarded. The mansion, blazing white, rose luxuriously from the middle of an enormous park.
The Dark Prince occupied only a minute part of the building. His private apartments, comprising a single enormous room, consisted of a royal bed opposite a gold-and-white living room.
An hour ago, after a long shower, Dimitri had returned to his room to rest. Now, bare-chested, dressed simply in faded jeans, he contemplated the park from one of the French windows in the living room, a glass of iced vodka in his hand.
Mentally the Prince reviewed the events of the past few months. The members of the Order of Hell were carrying out his instructions to perfection and the families of Damned Ones he was pressuring were submitting one after another. By his estimate, his chances of overthrowing the All Powerful were increasing, not even counting the assistance of his mysterious ally. Even the Dark Clan had ceasedto worry him ; since the death of his father, those imbeciles had never managed to find another leader worthy of the name.
Dimitri sighed and pressed the glass to his forehead. Everything was working out and yet he was not satisfied. Something was bothering him, something….
In a corner of the room, the hissing of the magic mirror attracted his attention. Surprised, he made his way to the mirror, whose substance changed noticeably. In the mirror, the mysterious woman appeared.
“Is something wrong ? I don’t think we don’t have an appointment,” the Prince said with irritation.
“I might ask you the same question, and hello to you, too. What is going wrong ? You disappeared to the other end of the planet for months, and you hardly deign to respond to my calls. You cut short our conversations – you’re avoiding me. I demand an explanation.”
“You know the explanation,” Dimitri retorted, worn out. “The more time passes, the riskier our talking becomes. Everything is unfolding according to plan, and as for the rest, you’re looking for a way to get rid of the All Powerful, and I… I needed to clarify a few things to find a solution to the problem of Crystal.”
In the mirror, the woman gave a hint of a contemptuous grimace.
“Go right ahead, take all the time you need. It’s not as if the girl were developing exceptional gifts in magic. Miranda claims that the brat is hyper-gifted.If you listened to me, you would return to New York and you would kill the little idiot once and for all.”
“It’s not that easy,” the Prince countered. “The
