"But that isn't… haven't I already helped you out in finding the others?" Rhea protested. "This is quite unfair! You said you'd help me once I finished my end of the deal." For some reason, Lukas could almost imagine the wobble in her lips as she said it. Probably because he'd already seen a vision of her in his dreams. "That's true, but the world isn't quite fair… and I don't exactly know what will happen when I set you free. I'm presuming that the crystal you've been sealed in restricts your…-

"Midnight is a really nice name, don't you think?" Lukas said as he folded his hands together. He watched the wholesome scene before him and bit back a smile. "It kind of reminds me of you too." Stacy was currently holding a leaf and allowing the dark rabbit nibble on it, the bunny having warmed up to her. She coughed lightly at the sudden remark of Lukas and chose to focus on the first statement. "That's quite a simple name. Not that it's bad or anything…" "Why? Do you want it to have a name like…

Stacy flinched at those words and she fell silent. "Is that so?" she asked. "Yes, lift your head up and correct your posture." Drusilla said. "That is no way how a Vardoken should treat herself. Your ancestors had far more spirit than you." "I see… my apologies for lacking the necessary attitude for it." Her response was painful enough that even Lukas didn't know what to say. He thought it was an honor to be acknowledged by an ancient Vampire–and yet for someone like Stacy, it was probably like…

"I thought you weren't interested… in it." Lukas said once they walked further away from the van. He was talking about the dagger! There was much protest from Theodore and especially Alexei of the two leaving together earlier, but compared to the desert, Theodore admitted that it was much safer. "I'm not…" Stacy said again and folded her hands together. "But I… I don't know. Maybe I just wanted some time away from those two. And maybe I am a tiny bit curious about the voice that just spoke to…

There were a couple of things that Lukas surmised from how the Vampires operated: First of all, they were not Undead or any species related to it. Sure, they needed blood to live, but they still rested and slept like ordinary humans. Second of all, they held no Immortality. Or rather, they no longer held the capacity to live forever. A lot of Vampire Overlords were killed by humans even, based on how they referred to the war in the past. Third of all, all things considered–there was still a chance…

Lukas wanted to laugh at the hilarity of the situation. One of the male deer–at least based on its antlers was heading towards them angrily. He expected it to be less aggressive, but somehow, a charge of electricity coated its horns. There was a herd of its deer faraway so it became clear that it was only protecting its group. Life was tough out, even in the grasslands. "Are we going on a chase scene again then?" Lukas said, much to the confusion of the other people in the van. But this time, he…

Path of the Overlord and Path of the Seducer. These were the two archetypes that a Vampire had according to the System he was given. There was also the Archetype of Arcane. Of course, not every Vampire fitted into one mold and there might be tendencies that fit into one or the other. One could use the Physical Manipulation that Lukas had obtained, which fell in the Overlord category due to it being physical–and have it be used in seduction and intrigue. Chaerin had proven it perfectly when she once…

"Is this a person-tracking dagger?" Theodore asked immediately after Lukas searched for the weapon in hand. He didn't immediately return it to Lukas' hands and preferred to keep it in the front seat of the van. "Um, I guess so…" Lukas decided to say. It was far easier to act dumb than to reveal things. That would save his skin far more than just saying the truth. What would happen if Theodore realized that it was a precious weapon and contained a Vampire from ages past? Surely that would get more…

Direction was supposed to be easy. A Vampire was supposed to be great at memory, strength and other things. But they were not infallible and when Theodore was busy mulling over the memories in his dream–they had gotten lost. Sand looked like, well, sand. There was no other indicator of where they were going and where they were headed. At least when it came to searching for Lukas and Chaerin's location. Theodore had to explain that difference. "You don't have a map." Alexei said, clicking his…

It was a song. A song borne out of misery? Not necessarily. But Chaerin did sing and it was no hum, no simple melody that you whispered but instead it was something you could have called a real song. Something that you sang to pass the time–surely. But it was something more. Chaerin was not really the 'sing-song' person, and if anything, Lukas had heard Lily singing while the two of them worked. A 'merry working' song if you could call it that. Beautiful, melodious and something that lifted the…
