Twilight you are my light

A few days later, the painter came to the Volturi Palace as scheduled and painted portraits for the two distinguished guests.Caius brought Ahinodora to the old room. Ahinodora was still sitting on the stool, while Caius stood aside with his hands casually resting on the stool.

The painting could not be finished for a while, so Yahinodora politely sent the painter away and invited him to come to paint again the next day.Almost every painter who has painted for them will lament how there are guests in the world who can remain motionless from beginning to end.

In the past, when they painted for dignitaries and nobles, those guests would constantly change their postures, and it was extremely difficult for the painters to capture the details.After the general shape is determined, the rest of the details have to be supplemented by brain.In the face of such dedicated guests, this year's painters were even more energetic and vowed to draw the most realistic portrait.

It was hard to tell how many portraits this was, and an area of ​​the Volturi art gallery was already filled with portraits of the two of them from previous years, and the portraits of the rest were hung in the corridor.If this latest painting is completed, it will also be hung in the corridor, waiting for the birth of the next painting to replace it, and then return to the art gallery to live up to its old age.

The painting style of each portrait has changed because of the artist. The costumes of the two people in the painting and the makeup of Ahinodora are slightly different. The only thing that has not changed is their faces and expressions.

The days passed day by day, and the Volturi were still diligently working hard to expand the family and expand the territory.After hundreds of years of hard work, the Volturi have become the most influential vampire family.

They even began to control II countries and II countries, and they have agents in politics and business to manage their industries for them.The accumulation of wealth over the centuries has rolled into a huge number, and this number is still jumping up.All this is half thanks to the help of Aro's mate Sulpicia.

In a certain operation, Ah Luo finally found his partner.Sulpicia was born ordinary. She grew up in an orphanage since she was a child. She is a native Italian.But she is indeed a good hand in finance, and her investment strategy and long-term vision make Arrow obsessed with it.

With Aro's trust, she lived up to everyone's expectations and made the Volturi's finances to the extreme—after all, many things cannot be done by brute force alone, and some humans only have money but no life in their eyes.

With the change of the times, their lives have gradually merged with human life.Although the vampires living in the Volturi Palace have become antiques, this does not stop modern technology from gradually infiltrating into the Volturi Palace.

Didymy was fascinated by such miraculous inventions as the electric light and the telephone, and even finer paper.

Although Didymi spent most of her time at the Volturi Palace, she was not as reclusive as Ahinodora and Sulpicia.Ahinodora was forbidden by Caius, and Sulpicia had no time to go out because of the troublesome accounts.

Di Timmy, who can come in and out freely, has become the "spokesperson for human beings". She often wanders around the human world with Marcus, buying some weird gadgets for her two friends.The snow crystal ball on Yahinodora's bed was a gift from Didymi on "St. Marcus's Day".

It was precisely because of Ditimi's closeness to the human world that she couldn't accept the Volturi's behavior style even more.She took Marcus to the human world more and more times, which has been vigilant by Aro and Caius.

As one of the elders of the Volturi, Marcus' prolonged absence was not a good thing.Although Aro and Caius both had opinions on Marcus, how could Marcus refuse his beloved partner's request?

Aro endured her sister's wayward behavior until Didimi proposed to leave the Volturi with Marcus, which made Aro, who had always been calm and self-possessed, panic.For him, Volturi has just started on the right track, and there is still a long way to go in the future.

Marcus' ability is very important to him, because he can see the bonds and relationships between people, and can detect whether there are disloyal people in the Volturi in a very short time.Arrow didn't allow the Volturi to disintegrate internally.

After Ditimi stayed in the human world more and more times, causing Aro's dissatisfaction more and more, something happened that broke the crumbling brother-sister relationship.The Volturi got a piece of information, and the Romanian family gathered another force to take back the Roman area controlled by the Volturi.

Of course the Volturi would not sit still after learning about it, they actively responded to the enemy's provocation.A large number of Volturi guards were recalled, and the three elders sat in the study all day.Sulpicia didn't spend much time with Ahinodora and Ditimi anymore. She was busy helping Aro prepare for the big battle, and she occasionally went into the room after chatting for a few words.

Yahenodora had no way to participate in this war, and she was asked by Caius to stay in the Volturi.According to their plan, the Volturi would target the meeting point of the group of Romanian vampires in advance, and then wipe them out by surprise.

Yahinodora, who has nothing to do, is either tending the plants or composing her new tune.With the development of the times, there are more and more musical instruments, which made her obsessed with learning to play different musical instruments.A few months ago, her newly repaired pipe organ had just been installed in the Volturi Music Hall. This behemoth can play soul-stirring music.

The music hall is the most frequented place for Ahinodora besides her botanical garden and room. This time she plans to write string music for her favorite play, adapt it into an opera, and then finance it to be staged in the Royal Theater .Yahinodora, who was immersed in the music, was completely unaware that outside the well-insulated concert hall, Volturi was about to suffer the biggest trauma since its establishment.

Yahenodora was held tightly in the arms of Caius, who was in the dust, and Caius looked very haggard.He kissed Ahinodora nervously, with the joy of surviving a catastrophe.

"Ahinodora, my Ahinodora, thank you for being alive and allowing me to hug you." Ahinodora was a little dazed, she could only passively accept Caius' delicate kisses and whispered words.

She hugged the vulnerable Caius back and patted him on the back to try to calm him down.After Caius calmed down again, Caius grabbed Ahinodora's hands and kept rubbing her ring.

"Ditimi is dead. The Romanians raided the Volturi. Her neck was broken and she was burned to ashes."

Ahinodora just stared blankly at Caius's opening and closing mouth, her mind went blank.Caius looked worriedly at Ahinodora's dumbfounded look. After a while, Ahinodora found her voice again. She asked Marcus where he is now in a hoarse voice, with difficulty in her voice. The trembling he felt made Caius feel distressed.

"I'll take you to find them." Caius helped Ahinodora who was trembling and walked slowly towards the door, but within a few steps, Ahinodora suddenly collapsed on the ground.

"Ahinodora!" Caius was startled by Ahinodora's sudden fall to the ground, and he knelt in front of Ahinodora and held her face.Her bleak eyes hurt Caius' heart, and he took the sad man in his arms and tried to give her some comfort.Caius picked up Ahinodora and walked to the Volturi hall.

This sneak attack did not bring many casualties to Volturi, but the elder wife of Volturi was killed in this operation.This made the Volturi guards who participated in this operation hang their heads in shame, silently reflecting on their negligence, but they couldn't figure out how that Romanian vampire killed Didimi in disorder.

Marcus held the ashes left by Didimi's burning motionlessly, and there were a few drops of blood-like liquid mixed in the ashes, which were Marcus' blood tears.Vampires don't shed human tears, their tears are red and liquid like blood.But this liquid is not as viscous as blood, but is closer to the density of water.

The vampire's tears flow from the blood of the heart, and will consume almost unlimited energy of the vampire.After a bout of bouts of crying followed by a lengthy recovery period, the vampire would feel exhausted mentally and physically and become sluggish.Di Timmy died, he took away his vain happiness and joy of life, and made him a real walking dead.

When Ahinodora came to the hall, everyone looked at her.As we all know, she is Di Timmy's idol, and she is also the closest person to her besides her husband and brother.Ahinodora pushed away Caius' holding hand, and walked towards Marcus step by step.

"Are those Romanians dead?" Ahinodora almost gritted his teeth and spit out this sentence.

"They paid the price for their actions." After a long silence, Marcus said.

"Give me Didyme, please." Ahinodor stretched out his hand to signal Marcus to put Didymy's ashes into her palm.

Marcus was still standing there holding the ashes, he was unwilling to let go of the ashes of Didimi's soul after burning - even though the ashes were no different from ordinary gravel.Ahinodora approached Marcus slowly, and her hands covered Marcus' big, bloodless hands.

Marcus finally had an expression, he raised his bloody and tear-stained face, and looked at Ahinodora in puzzlement.Yahenodora didn't answer, she lowered her face slightly and stared at the pile of sand, which seemed to have life.They began to change shape, the fine sand seemed to be guided by something, mixed with the tears left by Marcus began to change into a seed.

Ahinodora took out a wooden box out of nowhere. With a compassionate face, she gently wiped the tears on Marcus' face with one hand, and then put her tear-stained hand on the wooden box.After Ahinodora took his hand away from the wooden box again, it was filled with reddish soil.

Ahinodora gently buried the seed in Marcus's hand in the soil, and used the ability on it again.After a while, under Aro's amazed eyes and Caius' proud eyes, a small sprout appeared in the soil.

When Marcus saw the bud representing hope, his gray eyes suddenly had a glimmer of life and hope.He took the potted plant tremblingly, and he felt that Didimi didn't leave him, but still lived in this seed.

He gave Ahinodora a grateful hug, and then wiped the tears from his face with his hands.His hoarse voice made Ahinodora's nose a little sore.

"Thank you, Ahinodora."

"Marcus, Didimi will always be with us." Ahinodora once again looked at the bud that had just emerged with a compassionate smile.

"Irrigate it with a cup of blood every seven days and it will grow well. Cheer up, Marcus. One day, Didimi will meet us again." Ahinodora said with a firm tone.

She just turned Didimi's broken soul into a seed, and gave Marcus some hope and comfort, so that Marcus would not be depressed from then on.She doesn't think vampires have souls, and she firmly believes their souls are just cursed.

Now that Di Timi's body is destroyed, his soul is naturally freed from the curse.They just need to quietly wait for the arrangement of Hades, the king of the underworld, and wait for Didimi to return to them from the underworld.

Didymy's death touched Ahinodora's pain nerves.She used to be so envious of Di Timi's fearless spirit of resistance, because that was something she would never be able to do.

She can understand Caius' possessiveness mixed with love for her, and even though she has been imprisoned by him in disguise, she has always been willing.Because of love, Ahinodora chose to compromise.What's more, after so many years of captivity, Ahinodora has become accustomed to such a monotonous life.

But Didimi used to be an indispensable condiment in her dull life.Ahinodora remembered that Ditimi's shining eyes and chattering words were now far away from her.Di Timi laughed wantonly and cursed, really living the word "free and easy" to the extreme.

She didn't care about Aro's reprimand, and ran around in the corridors of the Volturi, and secretly hid the plants she accidentally destroyed without letting Ahinodora know.She also once replaced Marcus's book with her unrefined graffiti, making Marcus laugh wryly while looking at the picture book full of ghost symbols.

All that is gone, and this will be the most humiliating war won in the Volturi's 3000-year history.
