Caught in the act
The vampire settlement had received a surprise visit from none other than the Mermerials. With the way things were going, it wasn't so much of a problem for them, apart from a single young elder. One that went by the name Xoxy.
He had been aggravating Layla for a while now, constantly asking questions about Quinn, while trying to undermine the rest of the work and courtesy that they had been putting out. Eventually though, it seemed that the Elder had been acting strangely for a reason.
Learning from the other Elders, they now knew that Xoxy was actually here on behalf of a mission from the old celestial of the Mermerials, Yongbu. A desperate attempt was made as Layla went searching everywhere for him, fearing that the celestials could be targeting her and her family again.
She already had a lot to worry about with Immortui and what was happening with Quinn, but without Quinn here, it was her job to protect the family.
