The two young men are overjoyed to see Lilith, but the Befalling sect leader warns them not to celebrate too much. He tells them that they are about to fight with the association, and that they need to prepare for battle. He says that he has brought some reinforcements for them, but that they will not be able to fight until the battle is over. He asks if they brought any gifts, and they say that they did. He then asks if the old man is a vampire, and he says he is. The old man asks if he wants his blood, and the young man says he does, but he does not want to hurt Milladeath, who is angry with him. She says that she was the one who provoked her, and she is angry because he ruined her dress. The Befalling leader tells the young men that they have two strong helpers, especially milladeath. She is the strongest vampire, he says, judging from her "miasma" , but she is also cruel. He wonders who can defeat her.
