The succubus had no clue what to conclude from his words. It appeared a vague and self made storyline to snag her attention. But the way Coulter was saying things with such confidence, there must have been something true about it. Right?
Medusa however had no idea how to confront him on that. She did not want to sound angry if there was even the slightest bit of truth in his words, then she needed to know it and to get to the bottom of the matter.
"But what does it have to do with us? How is it even related to us?"
The woman became curious when he mentioned the former queen and it caused a lot of questions in her mind.
How did he even manage to get a hold of the former succubus queen? And why would she trust him out of all people, instead of some higher up assigned to her safety? Coulter was saying things with confidence which made Medusa question whether he was just bluffing or was it even the slightest bit true.
"And it still does not explain how do you even know about us. Get on the point, we do not have that much leisure time to listen to your stories."
She rebuked him over the seemingly tale making Malcolm smile a bit because it was all he wanted. After all, Coulter insulted him and his mistress let him be with that audacity.
'You sure are an impatient one, huh. Tch, kids!"
Coulter rolled his eyes and focused on his tale again. He needed to tell them everything since Kayden was now in the realm and he was the core cause of the upcoming calamity. Medusa and Malcolm's arrival in the realm was itself the proof that the course of nature was already been set.
"It was the time when we three grew friends and she got pregnant. You must be thinking about how I knew all this without being a seer. Hah! Am I right?"
Coulter looked straight at Medusa who nodded immediately, knowing that Coulter had already picked up her confusion. And was now perhaps ready to spill the whole truth. It was obvious that he must have spent so much time with them to be able to know all those things which were highly confidential.
"It was the time when she wanted to meet the vampiric seer for the safety of her child. You know it was already a miracle for two different species to produce an heir. Thus she was concerned about her child's safety. The man told us that after the arrival of the succubus queen doom will also accompany the vampire realm. It was not known to us at that time what kind of calamity would befall upon us."
Coulter paused for a moment not acknowledging that he had already hinted towards the obvious truth. Medusa however was taken aback and it caused a mixed emotion of fright and confusion within her. The woman was not sure how to react to those words, she had already known about Kaydne being a miracle baby.
But the next things were not what she had ever wanted to hear at all. Medusa looked towards Malolm in fright, although her eyes were visibly asking him something. It was obvious that she was unable to conclude anything from those words. But still there was something she could actually make some sense of it.
"What do you mean by that? What kind of calamity?"
Medusa questioned him once again acknowledging that his vague hints were not that unclear. But still she had to make sure they both were thinking on the same track.
Coulter gave her a meaningful look indicating that she was thinking in the right direction. Medusa could not believe that Kayden could be the reason for something like that.
"You really don't want me to say it, right?"
He gave Medusa a meaningful look making it significant that he hunch was correct. However the succubus did not seem to like that anymore. But she had to accept the reality that it was what it was. The succubus glanced at Malolcom who stood by the side with his own questions.
"But how can you be so sure about it? You could be wrong too."
Medusa tried to reason out but deep down she also knew that Coulter was not completely wrong. There was a similar prophecy done in her realm too, Beelzebelle. And she could not deny the fact that there could not be two similar prophecies unless the entity was supposed to move like that.
There was an utter disappointment on her face regarding the situation, Coulter immediately grasped that she too knew about that. Perhaps. However Malolm appeared calm in her comparison. It was obvious that she had to spill the beans too if they all wanted the world to live.
"Do you think I can be wrong? Pah, your worrisome expressions are proving my words accurate already, Medusa."
He was sure that Medusa knew something about the matter too, so Malcolm wanted to confront both of them. But he decided to stay quiet for the sake of the information which was slowly being disclosed at a snail pace.
"Do you think I am talking on the basis of just Jack's murder? Or do you really think that I am accusing him without any proof?"
This time Coulter grew mad over her and raised his voice to partially yell at the succubus. He had no idea why she was still delusional and was making it seem like an easy thing. The woman was unable to comprehend that the man she loved could be the doom of two realms!
She also knew the prophecy of the incubus seer, who said something about Kayden, the heir of the kingdom being a creature born with a twisted fate. It was already predicted that he had to choose his own fate, whether it was light or darkness.
Coulter stood up and headed towards the cupboard and flung the door open. He took out a brown envelope and walked back to Medusa. The chief opened the seal and threw the papers on the table which was placed in between her and Coulter.
"See this and then tell me if I am lying or not."
Numerous pages and pictures popped out of the envelope which made Medusa curious. She crept at the edge of the sofa and peeked at them. Malcolm did not hold back this time, since he was already a part of the conversation it was pointless for him to stay behind.
"What are these? Who are these people?"
Media inquired about the stuff which came out of that brown envelope. She had no idea what it was but perhaps the vague idea flashed in her mind. The people who were in those pictures were precisely the victims.
She could clearly see that all of them had one thing in common, all the dead bodies were all dried up. It was not a usual kind of murderous activity which could help the cops in solving the case within the snap of fingers. It was not the case of a rogue vampire who drank all the blood.
Instead it was something else. Something unusual. Unfamiliar and frightening.
Medusa examined the pictures and saw the dead people having an utter expression of horror over their faces. It made her curious why she was being filled in with some peculiar case Coulter was dealing with.
"These are the people who came in contact with Kayden in the past few weeks. They are the victims of his careless touches, like handshakes. Seeing these corpses I came to know that he might have developed the decaying ability."
Media heard his words carefully and it became clear why the principal from the academy was reduced to ashes.
She could not comprehend how it was even possible and how come none of them was able to sense it. Medusa carefully re-examined the pictures and then shifted her gaze towards Coulter. Malcolm on the other hand was equally stunned, he knew about Kayden' senses being clouded with the blood lust.
He was also the witness of Jack's murder and knew that the situation was already pretty bad. Kayden was unable to control his powers and it made him even more dangerous. But he had shown no sign of decaying ability at that time. Thus it made the situation even more complicated.
"It is not a rapid process but a slow poison, they all died right after a week of interaction. It clearly justifies that his powers are something else, something which we do not know or can contain. Does this prove my words that he is the doom of the vampire realm."
Coulter plopped back on the sofa and let both of them look at the pictures to build up some clues. However it was already written all over their faces that they were unaware about it. It relieved him that they both were not involved in those murders at least.
However, the pentagon was worried about the sudden deaths. No doubt they were usually caused without any concrete explanation.
