Midnight arrived soon enough.
The two sides prepared for battle. On one side stood the adventurers, their weapons drawn and armor prepared. The Councilors stood at the forefront, leading the gathered forces into battle.
Opposite them stood the vampire army. Jacob's Generals stood among them, their crimson eyes hungrily gazing across the battlefield as countless vampires waited for the order to attack.
Adam's illusory figure remained silent throughout it all, walking quietly in Luca's shadow. No one suspected a thing. To everyone watching, he was simply another figure standing beside the adventurers. The only difference was, he didn't talk at all.
Both sides were ready, at last.
The battlefield fell into an eerie silence. Then, somewhere in the distance, a solitary raven spread its wings and let out a single, ominous cry.
Caw!
The sound echoed across the plains, signaling the start of the battle.
