vampire that could give him just that. His name was Constantino and he was one of the members of the original clan created by Orion in Firenze. After the transformation into vampire was complete, Vanstrauss became a one of kind vampire known today as a vampdiamones.”
Zio Sandino drew in a deep breath and continued. “After he killed twenty humans in a ceremony and drained their blood dry as an offering to Satan for the ultimate power. Vanstrauss caused earthquakes and storms that wiped out entire cities, killing hundreds of innocent people. He also influenced humans into committing horrendous crimes against one another that always ended in death. When Vanstrauss was on his way to kill the Vamprincessa and Vamprinceton, he wasn’t aware that the vampire clan had already determined his fate. The clan was ready and waiting for him and had already found a way to destroy him. Vamprincessa and Vamprinceton had summoned Artemis, the Goddess of the moon weeks before. Artemis brought the matter to Orion and together, they created a powerful weapon, the hollow cross. The weapon itself was molded in the shape of a cross using the purest of silver and the purest of gold. The inside was hollow and contained blessed holy water, rowan, oak, and holly ash. When it came time for the clan to retrieve the hollow cross from the sacred ebony chest, they discovered that it was stolen and nowhere to be found. That is when the clan trapped Vanstrauss and had a witch take away his powers. After that, they sent Vanstrauss to the torture realm as his punishment. Over the years the realm became known as Hellsgrave.” Zio Sandino sat back in the leather chair and stared out the window…

Are you sure that it is Vanstrauss that is trying to cross over ? Devin asked.
Yes. It’s Vanstrauss and he’s already managed to cross over into another realm. Lawson replied.
What realm is he in now? Chace asked.
In the spiritual realm of angels, Lawson answered.
Chace thought for a moment. How did Vanstrauss get there?
Through one of the hidden doors, replied Lawson.
Chace drew in a deep breath and asked. What doors are you talking about, Lawson?
The angels speak of a stairway that begins in heaven and rests on the physical realm. This stairway has many doors leading to the spiritual realms in between. Evony the witch took Vanstrauss out through the door of Hellsgrave. Now, that Vanstrauss knows about the stairway and doors, he is looking for the door that leads to the physical realm.
Chace shook his head. You’re certain about all of this, Lawson?
Yes, the angels have been talking and they fear what will happen if he finds the door to the physical realm.
What does all of this have to do with Alivia being in danger ?
Devin asked.
Alivia is the keeper of the Shayvan.
What is a Shayvan? Chace asked.
The Shayvan is the guardian of the door to the physical world. Alivia has no idea that the ring she wears, the one with the blue moonstone in black ebony, is the Shayvan. The power of the ring will be awaken if the door to the physical world is at risk. But what worries me is that Vanstrauss knows Alivia is the guardian. He killed our mother by using one of his followers because she was the Guardian.
Wait, I thought that Jack Parkinson killed you and your mother , Chace asked.
He did, but Jack Parkinson was Vanstrauss’ follower. Now, Vanstrauss plans to kill Alivia.
Chace was worried.
We’ll find a way to protect your sister Lawson, don’t worry,
Devin said.
Chace knew this wasn’t going to be easy.
Thank you both. There’s one more thing, maybe it will help.
The angels here they talk about a powerful immortal that only walks in the sun. They called
him a sunvamp.
This sunvamp is the key to stopping Vanstrauss.
Chace stared at Devin who was silent.
He now understood the reason Lawson stayed caught between the physical and spiritual realm. He was here to warn Alivia and keep her safe.
Chace couldn’t believe it. It was just
