With everybody asleep, everything was calm at that point in time. Although as everybody was sleeping, the Dark Lord was also plotting something. His minions were moving closer and closer to the barrier, and the weakening parts were breaking even more. Although none of his minions were anticipating being destroyed instantly by beings. Now that it was nighttime, the vampires were out on patrol while the daytime people slept. All of them were for the most part protected from the corruption, as long as they didn't step outside of the barrier and the beings didn't have prolonged contact with them. Nataliya was the one leading the vampires, and seemed completely indifferent to the beings at that point in time.
Ariel was awake randomly and just sitting up in bed, her arms wrapped around herself. Why was this all happening? Because of the stupidity of Apocalypse, that much she knew but.... the darkness seemed to get stronger. But everybody was still fighting against it, despite how afraid they were. She was clasping her hands together in front of her chest and just tilting her head back to look up towards the ceiling, wondering what it was that they needed to do. They couldn't do anything from within the cities, that much she knew. They had to do something outside, in the darkness, but there were only a few people that could safely go out into the darkness for an indefinite amount of time without worrying about being affected by the darkness. Ariel being one of them. Luke was somebody, as long as he remained in his dragon form. Sure he would feel the burn from it if he wasn't careful, but he wouldn't feel the corruption.
She let out a soft breath of air and was soon enough looking towards the image of her brother as he seemed to form in front of her questioning how she was feeling, and if she was okay. This had her giving a gentle smile before she was climbing out of bed, and going over to the window, putting a hand on the window.
