[ REALITY ]
Abel had a theory the last time he dug up Marsella. His sister mentioned thanking her for taking a portion of Maleficent. At first, Abel didn't dwell on it since he knew he wouldn't get any answer. However, at the back of his head, he thought there was something Marsella knew that Vera didn't.
This assumption grew at that time Maximus showed himself in the capital and attacked Aries. Abel sensed this growing repugnance from the pebble that killed a pureblooded vampire. He sensed Maleficent, like Aries, but with a stronger repelling aura and scent.
There was another person who held Maleficent aside from Aries. No wonder Aries couldn't awaken her true powers because a part of it was being held by someone or something. Until now, Abel was unsure if this was a good thing or a terrible one.
That was why he ordered Isaiah to do a special task.
