Damon and Talia moved to the center of the area where Evanora's spell would be the strongest. "You want us to be caught in the spell with the Guardians?" Talia asked apprehensively. The idea of being stuck and unable to move was unsettling. Damon confirmed. "To use our abilities, we don't need to move." Talia looked around. Humanoid and wolf shapes moved so quickly that they formed blurs. Kicks, punches, and growls were gruesome.

It was strange that there was so much noise and commotion around them, yet when she locked eyes with Damon, everything faded, leaving just the two of them.

They were faintly aware of the fight surrounding them, but they felt like spectators in a virtual reality that couldn't harm them.

"Damon?" "Hmm?" "How are we going to resonate?" By now, Talia guessed they wouldn't be getting frisky. "Open your bond, kitten. Let me feel you and feel me in return." "Will that work?" Damon caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers, enjoying the sensation of the sparks that prickled his skin.

"Sapa told me that we resonate when we want the same thing. Everything I have is yours, kitten. My body, mind, and emotions included. I have no secrets in front of you. If you peel all my layers and look into my heart, you will see your name etched on it. Don't you feel the same?"

Talia's breath hitched as she could feel his sincerity. There was a time when she would sneak glances at Damon and think he was out of her league, but now she knew they were mates, and he accepted her unconditionally as his equal. More than equals, Damon worshiped her just as she worshiped him.

"I do," Talia responded.

Damon smiled and looked at her with an intensity that made her hairs stand on ends. The air around them changed as the energies became thicker as if the universe was pulling them to get closer to each other.

"That's it, kitten. Feel how much I adore you. There will never be any other woman in my life. Only you. I am yours. Completely. If we are separated, I will not stop searching for you. If anyone dares to come between us, I won't hesitate to kill. I will do anything to be with you and treat you well, as my other half, as my everything."

Talia stared at Damon's icy blue eyes that were turning darker by the second as his sweet words and promises mixed with horrific threats, and she had never heard anything so beautiful in her life. His hands tightened around her, and she could feel his heat seeping into her system. By the time he finished talking, Damon's eyes were completely black, like bottomless voids that didn't reflect the silvery glow that pulsated from Talia.

He held her hands into his and their fingers interlaced. 'That's it, kitten. We are doing it,' he spoke through their mind link

Silvery light glowed with Talia at its center, being abruptly cut where it met Damon's darkness as they formed a perfect sphere that was half silver and half black.

Talia became aware of the bodies around them, and she was not sure if they slowed down their movements or if she imagined it. She identified six Guardians with ease. Gregory was struggling under Keith and Arya, and there were Ezra, Arthur, and three others. 'What should I do with them?' Talia asked Damon, who now completely disappeared in the cloud of his darkness, but their bond told her he was right there. 'Do your worst. I've got your back,' Damon said with amusement in his voice.

He remembered that Cassandra had a prophecy of Talia being a bringer of calamity, and he was glad to contribute to it. As long as it was with Talia, Damon was game. Sophia and Isaac were idiots to discard Talia over some vague prophecy, and Damon was determined to punish everyone who ever harmed Talia.

Evanora and the witches had difficulty focusing on their spell when Damon and Talia were doing their black-and-white spectacle in the middle, which caused energies to spark everywhere.

"Keith!" Maddox shouted as soon as he shifted into his human form. "NOW!"

They felt that they were at a disadvantage with the fight dragging and were happy to hear Damon and the witches came up with a plan on the spot. Now only to confirm if it will work.

Keith grabbed Gregory by his collar and flung him into the area where witches' magic was pulsating in an unstable rhythm.

Gregory fell hard and groaned. His vision was blurry, his ears were buzzing, and he wondered if that was due to the pain that wrecked his insides. It shouldn't be like this. The Guardians were at the top of all creatures for a reason. Their origins could be traced from the beginning of time. They had abilities and centuries of wisdom and experience. How could a handful of fledglings beat them for this degree?

A sense of crisis gripped Gregory's heart when he realized that his five Guardians were also nearby, all moving in slow motion.

Gregory wanted to get up, but the gravity increased several folds. It took him a moment to notice the unusual ball of two energies that emitted a faint buzzing sound.

Witches and werewolves formed a circle around the area that was affected by the slowing spell, and they stared at the spectacle that Damon and Talia caused. No one saw anything like it.

The light and dark energy seeped into each other without mixing, like they were trying to overpower the other, and the whole ball started spinning so quickly that it created a grayish blur.

The snow melted at a speed visible to the eye, and then leaves and branches started rising off the ground.

"Ah... ah!" Gregory cried when he realized that his energy was leaving him and moving toward the energy ball and other Guardians groaned.

"No, no!" Ezra shouted while trying to grasp a purple wisp that emerged from his chest, but his hands just went through it.

The ball of energy buzzed and pulsated, and then it just faded into nothing to reveal Talia and Damon holding each other while locked in a kiss. Talia's hair was silvery, just like her eyes, and Damon's eyes were the definition of darkness. "Good job, kitten," Damon spoke into her lips. "How did you know it would work?" "Sapa told me." 'I did not!' Sapa protested in Damon's head. 'Shush, old guy! It's more reliable if she thinks it was your idea.' If he told Talia that he was playing by the hunch, she might be upset for taking the risk Sapa snorted. 'As long as you know.' Damon and Talia were both high on energy and drunk on the love they had for each other. Damon thought of asking, "How is our pup?" "I think she just grew a bit." Damon cocked an eyebrow. "She?" "It's not confirmed, but I thought of calling her she." Damon clicked his tongue. "Just when I accepted the idea of having a boy." Talia was smiling so widely that her cheeks were hurting. "No matter what it is, we will have more. A few boys and a few girls. What do you say?" Damon pressed her harder against him. "You won't hear any complaints from me.."
