I always thought that the blessed chalice is a Bloodkeeper (MC in this case) and the sap of the tree is any vampires blood (Rheya got her power from the tree and her blood, thus the tree's blood runs in every vampire). "When the sap of the tree rests in the blessed chalice... the skies shall turn red, the earth shall be torn asunder... and the First shall walk again." so when a Bloodkeeper gets Turned Rheya can resurrect from the tree prison. That would finally give some actual connection between Bloodkeepers and vampires too.

It seems from the sneak peeks that the LI you chose to be closest to tried but couldn't Turn MC. You know, at first, I doubted they tried to feed MC directly from the tree but now that I'm musing one it.. I mean, they've seen what it did to Adrian when the serum was just a mere fraction of that power, they've heard stories about how monstrous Rheya was, they knew it would change anyone who drinks it into something horrible, and they don't know much about Bloodkeepers so to try and hope it won't do what it does to regular humans or vampires to MC too... Hmm, I don't know. It'd be a more literal implementation of the prophecy and shows how desperate the LI was. I was thinking that whatever darkness Serafine saw in MC helped Turn her in the end but this theory makes me think this over.
