"To help you, silly." Cerisdel pointed out with an offended frown. "You have asked for my help and it seems to me that you are quite in need of an individual to help comfort you." "I don't have any need for that—!" Lukas bristled. "So you say, but the way you spoke was not only out of my sake but for the sake of your own self. I saw the relief in your eyes at being understood, at finally having someone to listen to your words and be known. I… I have known others who are just like you." Lukas had a…-

Lukas glanced at the sleeping Matthew and knew for certain that the young man was going to wake up. The only matter was the amount of time that it would take. "It's not instant, but—" Matthew let out a groan and sat up from the grass. He stretched out his arms and looked around at the others with a confused look on his face. "Where are we? What happened back there?" "Oh, you're finally awake!" Anthony dropped his crossbow and lunged for the young man, hugging him tight. "We nearly thought you died or…

A feral screech pierced through Lukas' ears, and it made his body howl and his chest ache. Was it the first time that he ever experienced something negative? Something so heart wrenching and twisted? No, that was a lie, but as he bound towards the center of the Dark Forest—he knew that he was about to meet Rhea. Those screeches indicated as much. "Oh fuck it, if I'm going to die then I might as well learn it." The thrum of experience coursed into Lukas' body, almost as if it was second nature. The…

"Attempted?" Lukas sputtered for a moment. He glanced at the screen with a decisive glare and frowned. "Cut that out. We're in a time-sensitive mission here." The screen didn't so much as change as opposed to continue showing him the same exact thing from earlier. Lukas let out a breath he had been holding, his shoulders sagging slightly—not to drop the bodies—but enough for him to relax. Concentrate, Lukas. That was what he told himself. The past didn't matter. The future would remain…

The Blood of Nightmares consumed and brought many of the inhabitants of the Dark Forest into ruin. Their dilapidated and sunken husks strewn the forest floor and yet it was ravenous still. 'Rise…' 'Join…' 'Me…' Dark words tried to penetrate into its being, orders from a being that laid dreaming but the Blood of Nightmares refused to listen to its heed and was instead concentrated on one thing along: Feeding. The more it fed from the creatures and even to the very trees that perpetuated inside of…

'They're not corrupted are they?' Lukas looked in panic as he glanced at both Anthony and Philip. He didn't know how much the Dark Forest, or the Unknown entity, exerted its influence, but he'd rather not have these people be corrupt— "That's Cerise… and she's just going to gently tap the wand over the two of you, okay?" Lukas checked on Matthew and he was fine. Maybe it was the fact that he had transformed into a full pledged Vampire that protected him, but now it was clear to Lukas that the…

"We haven't agreed on anything." Lukas said. "You just had your family, the sky changing wyvern to abduct me and so here I am. I never said anything about my friends coming here to find me. If anything, you should be the one who expected such a thing and made sure to prevent this from happening in the first place." "That's…" Cerise narrowed her eyes, but then let out a huff. "Very well. That is all that can be done—let us focus on things of prime importance like the Unknown." "Yeah, anyhow, I doubt…

"A sleeping spell. No, that won't work—or will it?" Cerisedel paced back and forth in the hidden treasure room, every spell book in the vicinity all floated with her powers as she flipped through dozens of them and tried to read them all at the same time. "A strong one, stronger than that—that can't do. Ah, help me with this, Lukas… wait no, your kind do not dabble in magic." Lukas who nearly had a spellbook float in front of him quickly shut in his face, moments before he could even read the first…

"Corruption." Cerisedel spoke the word with a slight grimace. She looked at Lukas and knew that when he looked at her, all he could see was the raw power and potential that she had portrayed to him. It was her fault—but the thought of being seen as anything less with her heritage and ancestry placed on her shoulders was unacceptable. "Yes. We need to go down and eliminate the threat." Lukas said as he jerked a thumb out the cave. "The faster, the better." "Let's not be hasty." Cerisedel said and…
