Flashback: The 1920s, New York. All members of the modern day Council - Adrian, Kamilah, Adam Vega, Priya Lacroix, Lester Castellanos and The Baron - meet with Gaius in an undisclosed warehouse. There Gaius is addressed as "His Majesty, King of the Vampires". Gaius unveils his plan to finally get the vampires to come out of hiding. As part of his ambition to claim the world for vampires (with him as king), Gaius plans to keep a few thousand humans alive and drugged to feed the vampires like livestock. The rest of humanity however, will be wiped out by a deadly disease via biological warfare. Kamilah lightly objects, saying that the vampires already have their kingdom and such act is unnecessary. Adrian attempts to reason with Gaius but he refuses to listen. Gaius warns Adrian that he is his king and his loyalty should be with him alone. Left with no choice, Adrian bows to Gaius to kiss his ring, reluctantly affirming his loyalty to him. | |||||

Flashback: The Cavern, 1920s. Adam, Lester, Adrian and Priya all await for Gaius in the meeting room; he enters, flanked by his bodyguard The Baron. Gaius asks the other Council members for their opinions on his plans to release the Reaper virus to wipe out humanity and make a world dominated by Vampires. All of them object for various reasons, but Gaius asserts that his rule is absolute and declares his intention to release the virus anyway. The entire Council attacks Gaius - not even The Baron is willing to continue defending him at this point. As the most powerful among the Vampires, Gaius manages to overpower all five of them and appears to be about to win, but Kamillah abruptly enters the room and bisects Gaius with a sword, defeating him. Adrian decides not to kill Gaius - his Vampire blood, given it's power, may have use in the future, so they trap him in the Onyx Sarcophagus. Disagreeing, Adam asks Adrian if he intends to make himself a ruler, but Adrian declares instead he would rather have a council. | |||||
Bonus Scene
This bonus scene occurs at the end of the sixteenth chapter, if you collected all 6 portrait fragments throughout the book. It is a teaser for the next book.
In his library, once he is sure that no one is watching, Scholar Jameson speaks to Gaius Augustine, whom he addresses as "master". During this conversation, several details are revealed; that the Feral attacks that have been occurring lately were on Gaius/Jameson's behalf with the intention of creating divide within The Council, that Jameson was the one who attacked Lily Spencer (whom he was expecting to have been revived by Adrian), and that while Vega played his part in trying to take out Adrian that the counterattack by the Clanless forces was not expected. Furthermore, the conversation about "the girl" (Your Character) reveals that her psychic powers are growing through the portrait fragments Jameson left. A disappointed Gaius tells Jameson he desires to feed; Jameson has made arrangements and has prepared a human for this purpose. She attempts to run, but Gaius, now appearing completely different with faded and discolored skin, leaps after and attacks the woman.
