The White Witch stepped closer to Little Lowell. There was a look of surprise and disbelief in her eyes. Little Lowell shrunk into Marceline's body, trying to hide from Riemc. He felt uncomfortable with the way the White Witch was looking at him.
On the other hand, Marceline talked to Little Lowell through their mind link. 'Don't be afraid of her, Lowell. She is a friend of mine and your Uncle Dylan.'
When Little Lowell heard that, he finally eased up in front of Riemc. He jumped off Marceline's back and grabbed Lyca's hand.
Dylan and Marceline proceeded to the backyard to shift back to their human forms. They brought their clothes with them. As the two put on their clothes, Riemc continued assessing Little Lowell.
'The kid didn't die? He is alive… Is this another intervention of the Moon Goddess?' The White Witch saw a vision of the past. It was related to Lowell and his parents.
The White Witch kneeled in front of Lowell so that their eyes would have the same level. She was staring intently at him.
"Can I touch you?" The White Witch asked Lowell's permission. The young hybrid boy just bobbed his head.
Riemc wanted to confirm something. With Little Lowell's permission, she cupped the young boy's cheeks and closed her eyes, trying to feel something.
They were in that position when Dylan and Marceline returned. The two asked Lyca what was happening.
"Your friend might be checking Little Lowell's health. She asked him if she could touch him." Lyca explained to the two.
They waited for Riemc to finish. The moment she opened her eyes, tears were already falling from the corner of her eyes. She immediately wiped her tears upon seeing Marceline and Dylan.
"Riemc, are you alright?" Dylan asked her. This was the first time he saw his witch friend being so emotional.
"Why are you crying?" Marceline approached Riemc, feeling a little bit worried.
"Nothing. I just recalled a poor orphan child." The White Witch replied. She wanted to change the topic right away. "By the way, what brought you here?"
"We are here to visit you. Also, I want to thank you personally for the help. I returned here safe and sound because of your journey tips!" Dylan spoke cheerfully.
"I'm also here to introduce my mate, Lyca! She is a human. But I love her so much!" Dylan added, wrapping his arm around Lyca's waist.
Lyca greeted Riemc. She smiled awkwardly because of the cheesy introduction made by Dylan.
"Nice to meet you, Lyca. I'm Riemc. Welcome to the world… a magical world of Phantasia!" Riemc turned to Dylan and congratulated him. "I'm glad you finally found your mate. Take good care of her. Protect her with your life."
Dylan bobbed her head. "I will do that. I will protect her with my life."
"How about you Princess Stella, why are you here? Did you miss me already?" Riemc cracked some jokes.
Marceline just let out a soft giggle. "Yes, I did. But aside from that, I came here to ask for your help. I brought Little Lowell here… hoping that you can help him cure his trauma. He couldn't speak like a normal child because of the trauma. He saw his parents getting killed by the vampires."
"Parents?" Riemc reacted right away. As much as she knew, the kid's parents weren't ordinary. They were powerful!"
"Yes… can you please check if you can help him recover?" Marceline politely requested her.
The White Witch fell silent for a moment. She was contemplating what she would do. It looked like Marceline and Dylan were totally clueless about the real identity of the child they brought here.
"Okay. I will see what I can do for him. Let's go inside the house. You can have a tour inside my house while I'm checking Little Lowell. Dylan can be your tour guide. He's been here several times. Just feel at home."
The five of them entered the house. The White Witch and Little Lowell headed to her chamber. They stayed there as she tried to diagnose the severity of Lowell's trauma.
While waiting, Dylan toured Marceline and Lyca around the house. He brought them to a room where they could find different potions made by Riemc.
Both Lyca and Marceline were amazed to see those things.
"Ahem, does love potion exist here?" Lyca asked them expectantly.
"Yes, it does. But the effect is different from what you know. Love potion will only last for a few hours, not forever. You can't make someone fall for you by just using love potions." Dylan explained to Lyca.
"Oh, I get it. Hmm. Did you use a love potion against me?" Lyca asked him suspiciously, lifting her eyebrow.
Dylan:"..."
Marceline laughed upon hearing her best friend's remarks.
"Ahem… you know..I was still in love with Enrique when I first met you… But suddenly, I felt a strong attraction towards you. I wonder if you used a love potion."
"Ouch! I feel hurt by that accusation!" Dylan held his chest, pretending to be in pain. Marceline could only shake her head at the exchange of interaction between these two love birds.
"That was because of our Mate Bond! I didn't use the love potion! Or maybe it's because of my charm. You couldn't resist my charm!" Dylan retorted.
Marceline and Lyca just laughed at him. Lyca was just teasing Dylan but he took it very seriously. They were in that cheerful mood when the White Witch showed up, calling Marceline.
"Princess Stella, can we talk privately?" Riemc asked Marceline with a serious expression on her face.
"Okay. How about Little Lowell?" She asked.
"He fell asleep in my chambers. Just let him rest for a while," Riemc replied.
Lyca and Dylan just exchanged glances with one another.
"Go, sis. I will have some private time with my mate." Dylan pushed Marceline right away.
Marceline and Lyca shot him a sharp glare. Dylan just chuckled, giving them a peace sign.
Riemc just shook her head because of the childish behavior of the werewolf prince.
A few seconds later, Marceline followed the White Witch.
"How is it? Is Little Lowell just fine?" Marceline asked her worriedly.
Riemc smiled at her, reassuring her. "Don't worry about him. He is just fine. But there is something you have to know about Lowell."
Marceline looked at her, confusion resurfacing on her face. "What is it?"
"Little Lowell is a hybrid…" Riemc started.
"Yes. Half werewolf and half-human," Abigail confirmed it. But the White Witch shook her head.
"Not half human… he is half werewolf and half vampire… it's just that… his vampire blood has not manifested yet in his current age."
Marceline: "..."
She was rendered speechless because of this revelation. All this time, they thought Little Lowell was half human and half werewolf.
"And there is one more thing you have to know… This kid… is very powerful. The blood running in his veins… came from the powerful vampire and werewolf in this Kingdom. A pure blood vampire and the blood of a white wolf."
Marceline didn't know what to say after hearing that. How come she didn't sense the powerful aura coming from Lowell?
"His great power… is sealed."
