Supernatural Villain (Supernatural Captivity #3) - Avery Song Page 0,49

"And wouldn't your son, Constantine, also have a role to play?"

"Think of my three children as a trilogy in the art of the Great Summoning," King Wyatt suggested. "Constantine's built-up anger in regard to his captivity is an assumption my brother is gambling on to be the initial fuel to awaken this beast. It thrives on negative emotions, especially since it's been pent up for years. Wilfried may be villainous in nature, but he doesn't possess enough anger to push the beast into a state of rage. He's counting on the idea that with what he did to Constantine and him being trapped in the heart of Level Six of Celestial Prison, that he'd hold enough anger and madness to lead the beast into a frenzy." He paused and crossed his arms over his chest before continuing. "Cassandra and Castalia are extremely tricky. You may not know this, but Castalia is the Queen of the Underworld."

That had us staring at him with a stunned expression before we exchanged bewildered looks.

"But Castalia is alive," Tristian acknowledged.

"You're correct. It's her story to tell. Not mine. However, she is the appointed Queen of the Underworld. She has the approval of the dark council of those lands between life and death. I'm sure you've briefly met Celeste.”

"One of the Absolutes," Dominick replied.

King Wyatt nodded. "Castalia is of Monarch nature, thus, she would be one to aid in fueling the beast with the addition of other Monarchs of ultimate Alpha power. "

"Is that where the other girls come in?" Tristian questioned, which garnered our attention. "Alisha, Ivy, and Celeste. Alisha's a Monarch. Ivy's an Alpha royal, and Celeste is an Absolute."

King Wyatt smirked as he nodded. "It's becoming clearer why each of them ended up at one prison at some point in time. And that fact only gave Wilfried enough conviction to start to encourage more kidnappings of the supernaturals who would be of great use in preparation for the beast's revival."

"Then Cassandra is what exactly?" Omarion spoke up. "Originally we assumed Cassandra and Castalia would be the ones to be used as the main fuel of energy and the others would be the sacrifices needed to revive the beast. If Castalia and the others already carry such roles in this theory, and Constantine is going to be the emotional fuel to keep this beast in frenzy mode, what role will Cass play?"

King Wyatt was going to answer, but it already seemed to click in my brain as well as Otis's. "Control. She'll be able to control the beast," we said in unison.

Everyone looked over to us before King Wyatt slowly nodded. "The artifact in Wilfried's possession is only being used at a small percentile. He had to have stolen some of King Ezekiel's blood and preserved it so that he can fool the artifact into thinking he’s its creator. However, because King Ezekiel is dead, only one who carries his blood or strains of magic can use the artifact to its full capacity."

"You're trying to say because Cassandra is the unborn child of the king and queen, was reincarnated with Quil-Zu, and was able to revive this kingdom, there's a strong chance she can use the artifact," Tristian concluded before he frowned. "Shit."

"What?" we all questioned.

"Doesn't that mean Wilfried has enough confirmation to basically start shit?" Tristian offered. " He’s the reason Constantine was locked up all these years, the reason Constantine has all that anger from his childhood years coursing through his veins. He encouraged the separation of Cass and Castalia. We thought it was because he hoped they would perish, but what if he wanted to confirm their ability to survive? Castalia ended up becoming the Queen of the Underworld. Don't you think that's a little convenient?"

He was pacing now as the plan seemed to formulate in his mind.

"The beast will end up taking the souls of all those in the lands above AND the lands below, which is the Underworld. If Castalia is queen, she has rulership upon those very people, so if she's one of the Monarchs to be used as energy for this beast, it'll immediately gain that controlling essence from Castalia. That will make it impossible for anyone in the Underworld to try and escape their control. Surely Wilfried knew Cassandra was alive, or still 'human', but with recent events, and with Widow being his informant, he was being updated with everything happening in the prison. When Cassandra unlocked her supernatural abilities, it only confirmed what Queen Quilzurashi
