Before everyone knew it, another school year had arrived. Before it started, there were several more attacks from Salvadore, Johhan and Chris, but Selene was watched day and night. Later, even during her lessons at school, Damon was always somewhere around, ready to protect her, although he doubted that Salvadore would attack Selene in a place with a lot of people. Maybe he was getting more and more desperate, but for sure was not so stupid. No matter how powerful some demons were, they never risked exposing themselves to too many mortals at once.Jennifer and Sarah, Selene's school friends, also did not leave her side, as if they subconsciously knew something was going on, although in fact they were still blissfully ignorant.- How are you and Damon?- Jen asked excitedly.- Everything is fine... Even auntie got used to him.- Selene replied, recalling the last days of vacation and aunt Meredith, who was talking to Damon more and more, and as heartily as ever.- T

After two days, more invited guests started arriving at the house and soon there were so many of them that on July 14 everyone had to move to a meadow behind the forest, a dozen or so kilometres from the city and only 2 kilometres from the valley where the battle was to take place.Meredith and Elisabeth brought great magicians from Siberia and elves from the Amazon rainforest. Rita gathered all members of the Spencer family - mother, father, grandmother, two sisters and another brother, Eleazar brought his thirty fellow wizards with whom he attended the school of magic, and they took their family and friends with them. Johnathan, along with Isabelle, invited his mother, five brothers and their wives, even children, who were mostly grown up and could fight demons very well.

Around 11 p.m. the fight became even more fierce than before. Eleazar was increasingly unable to keep up with the teleporting of the wounded, Maria and the angels also felt a slight panic - their makeshift hospital was filling up at an alarming rate, and as little as one person left it, several other wounded appeared in this place. Fatigue and impatience with the still uncertain result of the battle clearly troubled all figthing. Tess, despite the support from others and short breaks, was slowly losing strength, and her shield was starting to let through some of the stronger mental attacks. Alice also felt very tired of constantly browsing through so many, often quite complicated, minds at once. Deborah returned quickly to the battlefield, and, encouraged by victory over Salvadore, she fought as fiercely as ever.Fortunately, the battle was still remarkably even. Everyone knew that, according to the prophecy of Joan Thomson, mother of Johnathan and the great Oracle, the fate of

In September, after nine months of pregnancy, Isabelle gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, whom she and her husband named Rose. Johnathan was overjoyed, and Isabelle was also very happy, because finally had the baby she wanted so much. Maria and Eleazar got married in December, Marco and Teresa a year later. Selene and Damon had not yet thought about getting married, they wanted to enjoy each other in peace now.On June 20, 2019, Elisabeth ended her service as the head of the Sorceress Council, taking a well-deserved retirement. There was a farewell ceremony during which Meredith, personally appointed by Elisabeth, became the new Council leader. Selene was proud of her aunt. Deborah joined the Big Three because Meredith's nomination made a seat vacant, and she was the oldest of the other Council members.Selene said goodbye to Sara and Jennifer for good, who had left for college, each in a different part of the country. This is how she also said goodbye to nor
