The tables had turned drastically, leaving her unable to move due to the magical seal expertly placed on her by Speki.

Maximus's inquiry cut through the air, demanding to know her name. In a tone that hinted at her disbelief and the dent in her pride, she reluctantly admitted…

"It's Melisandre." spoke the high vampire with an incredulous expression.

Her inner turmoil was evident, her expression a mixture of seething anger and incredulity. She had underestimated her opponents and was now paying the price for her arrogance.
