There were only small disturbances of crinkling forest creatures and the wail of the unforgiving wind; the trails that were filled with sunset passed through the canopies just a minute before becoming so lost in the darkness that even the moon could not help. The rain had stopped, and Diana could almost smell the earth itself. She called her, telling her that she was worried. It had been a minute since Andrew scooped her from the ground. “Andrew?”

“Hmmm?”

“Are you sure about that lagoon? Because I know I saw it. I bathe at it.” She took a deep breath and filled her lungs with the earthy, fresh smell of the woods.

“I told you, there is no lagoon here. I know because this woodland has been my home for many, many centuries.”

“But—how is that even possible? I'm sure I was in the lagoon.”

That debatable.”

“Are you suggesting—um, that I was just seeing things?”

“Well—"

Her eyes widened. “I know what I saw!"

“Diana, I'm sure there is no lagoon there, Diana. I've been there a thousand times,

    The next morning, Andrew knocked on Diana's door."Come in," her voice said. Andrew opened Diana's door and went inside. His eyes survey her like a predator to his prey. He thought at least she seemed relaxed and at peace now. "So, are you okay now? Can we talk?""Yap! I'm fine,” she sighed, combing her hair with her fingers. “So what is this matter you want to discuss?" He better not ask about what happened in that lagoon. There is no way on earth he would make her admit something so scandalous."About your seer powers and your bloodline.""What?” She couldn't help but be annoyed; it was too obvious from his demeanour that he was ignoring her again, so she added, "I have seer-whatever-power? I couldn't even fart properly without making a face, and you are telling me I have power? Jesus!”He frowned at her.“Andrew, I don't think I'll believe you this time. Yes, I am a vampire. I have fangs, but a seer power? I can't even kill a mosquito without using my vampire speed, let alone power

    Diana peered through the massive window of her chamber. The majestic morning sun gave her uncomfortable feelings; though it didn't hurt much, she had to squint. Rising off the sun-scorched curtain. She groaned at the ache in her head and felt exhausted, like she had just run a two-week marathon. And even after half a day of rest, her eyes felt scraped. The heat, combined with the periodic songs of birds and other insects, wasn't helping her either. It was like everything was loud and so bright that even the enormous scenery of the lake on the horizon made it difficult to maintain an accurate perception of mind.She didn't feel as if her mind was streaking along at a mile an hour, but in any circumstance, she should have been thinking a lot slower and being bored, yet she felt like she came from a mile of running.By then, she realised that since her stupid trip in the lagoon, her body had become weaker and weaker, and it filled her with growing anxiety that she was too late to regret

    Andrew growled. “Diana, let me explain,” Andrew said with the conviction of a sire that she ignored. However, Diana stood like a warrior, her fangs suddenly elongating as if telling him that she was not happy with what she heard.“You what? You want me to listen? You bit my grandfather—absolutely not! I am not going to listen to—”You leave me no choice, Diana! Listen to me!His powerful voice echoed in her head like that of a mighty commander who knew what power he had over her.Let me explain, Diana!NO!Let me explain! Listen to me!Fine!She had no choice but to listen. She looked at him with a deadly gaze.How the fuck did you keep this from me for months? This is unacceptable. How could you—Let me at least talk!She hissed, “Then you better start explaining now. ANDREW! NOW!”“If you let me talk,” he rolled his eyes, sat on the couch, and began. “Well, the thing is, I did not kill him or harm your old man in any way. You have to know that.”“And”“I think he already knew who I

    17th CenturyEuropeThe gigantic cliff wavered above the mountain forest like a horrible zit, throwing its broad-shouldered shadow over the hedges. Its flanks were divided by isolated footpaths, slithering all the way to the snow-shrouded ridges. Dark caverns bore deep into the cliff’s heart, passageways disguised by long-lost magic. Death and chaos prowled in the silhouettes of Route and Cave, waiting for those who didn’t know the acceptable phrases or for those who didn’t recite quickly enough.Andrew landed by the edge; he stopped for a moment to let his passenger catch her breath. Diana was heaving in a great bellyful of air, a hand pressed to her chest as if to assure herself that her heart still beat. From a few feet away, a young boy clung grimly onto the mule’s back, widened his eyes, face pale, mouth wide open, not so fearless as he’d been at the base of the mountain as he saw them appear from nowhere.“What the fuck happened, Andrew? Diana growled. She toiled a ways behind,

    Diana watched the golden threads of morning light transform her earlier ordeals into an ambient positiveness. In the wash of the new light, her face took on the appearance of an obsolete portrait, one of the memories so wonderful in her eyes. She watched as it brought her naked skin into focus, not yet vitalized with the warmth of who she was—a lost fucking naked predator who stood wide arm like some crazy suicidal maniac—I might as well kill Andrew for this shit. She thought to herself.However, she was still in the landscape of a cold mountain, and since there was no better thing to do but to bring her body so close that her hearts synchronised with the earthy creatures that took a peek at her while she asked the colourful butterfly to cover her feminine beauty, the lovely creature hugged her and covered her enough to walk without worry and waited for Andrew to come back. When the sunlight was strong enough, her eyes opened as she gazed, and Andrew materialised and appeared to be bu

    “Is that Tommy?”Andrew folded back the cuffs of his shirt for something to do with his hands. "I told you, Diana. You will be surprised, after all, it's not every day—""Will you just answer my questions clearly, Andrew?” A hard light came into her eyes, and her expression set like fast-acting glue."Well, I'm not sure just yet.”She groaned and closed her eyes. “Let me think. My brain is still brewing new information. My goodness. Is this really him?" Diana wiped the blood from the face of the strange man, and that was weirdly tied upside down. "This is Tommy? How is this even possible? Why is my best friend here in the fucking 17th century a werewolf? Above all, tied up and almost dead?" Before Andrew could tell her more, she turned and walked out of the tree, leaving him with just the lingering fragrance of her scent.“Wait—where the hell are you going?”“Looking for a way out of this century—”He shook his head. "Diana, you should remember, um, that man is not your best friend. M

    Andrew picked up the lead in perfect rhythm, tucking his head. By then, his smell and the sight of him were etched in Diana's mind. She found herself always aware of him, her senses automatically kept track of him, as if she were afraid he would disappear from her view. In such proximity, she could not help but notice his every move, breath, and heartbeat. This man was breathtakingly good to her senses. Sexy and, above all, so enticingly hot, yet he kept on turning his head towards her, watching her all the time, assessing. Well, not obviously likeable, but yeah, he was looking at her like she was prey, like she was a rat, and like he was the angry lion.By then, she had to admit a certain trust, awareness, and fondness for him. Even now, in the proximate safety of strange time and lands and the road less travelled, she doesn't trust herself quite—yet not to daydream about him. She thought he looked rather edible, or was it just her tummy talking? Was she desperate to taste him? Yes.

    In the little, shabby kitchen, a younger version of butler Raymond cracked open the homemade clay oven to survey his honey-sweet bread rolls. Sniffing, he let the yeasty-rich air fill his lungs as he heard Eve. He smiled to himself and thought that, at last, their sire was back. “Oh, Raymond, dear, lord Andrew is back, isn't that good news?” Eve inquired with a bright smile on her face as she entered the dirty kitchen. “I heard you the first time, Eve. Stop bothering me. This is almost done,” Raymond pointed at the clay oven with the same enthusiasm as the old woman. "Why do you always have to check those lovely rolls fifteen times a minute? There is no need for that," asked Eve, glancing at the flavorful rolls as Raymond nestled a large bowl in the crook of his arm and slung the contents around with a wooden spoon. Eve glimpsed the flames of her paraffin lamps, relaxing and bestowing her positive vitality, while the stray end of her scarf flew over her shoulder, straining to escape

    " I… I've come to realize that things aren't quite as black and white as I've been portraying them to be. I don't need to give up something to become someone else. I'm hoping to gain something more. But as long as you were with me. I don't care anymore, Andrew. My grandpappy can wait. In fact, the tenth century can wait. Right?” She looked at him with a sheepish expression.It took him no time to respond affirmatively. His hands glided down her back to her shoulders as they reached his chamber, then he went down her neck back again. "Yes, my love." The corners of his mouth split into a sensuous smile. "Your grandfather can wait." His words kissed the side of her face. “However, I believe you could push yourself even further. You are powerful Diana. Never hold back yourself. Do whatever is necessary to survive.”“Why? Do you want me to be like you?” She exhaled as his hand became entangled in the buttons on the front of her gown. Slowly giving her goosebumps.“You are really similar to

    Diana's heart began to beat again, her lungs began to fill with air, and she took a deep, gasping breath. Slowly, the chill began to melt away from her body, dissipating in the face of the raging river coursing through her, ratcheting up her seer magic a notch. The amazing bliss she felt from his single drop of blood fueled her mind and made her want for more, and she felt like she was drunk on lust. Diana could see everything so clearly now, and at that moment, she wished she could have Andrew with her. Now! Right here, right now!And so she stepped closer, coming to a complete stop in front of Andrew. Then she pushed herself to her toes and grabbed the back of his neck, pulling him against her for a long, passionate kiss. In that kiss was the sweetness of passion, a million loving thoughts condensed into a moment. In that kiss were the promise of years and the sweetness of waiting for real love.She then drew back just as fast as she had come. Diana was aware that people were starin

    Blanca's cheeks were flushed. "I'll be delighted to comply with my lord's wishes." She kissed his cheek once more as she grinned. It had been a long journey, a long adventure, and she had given up hope that she would ever see Dimitri's smile once more...The ladies with the wine approached them, and Blanca whispered to Dimitri, "This area looks like a battle zone, and I can't wait to taste you again." He halted when Elfar groggily waved the ladies over to them. "How is he going to get it ready for a celebration by tonight?" "He was drunk as hell." Blanca wondered as she waved her hand to Elfar, who reciprocated by waving his hands in their direction."The stubbornness of Elfar should never be underestimated. He was more than just a mere wolf. He is my sire demon for a reason.""I get what you're saying. He's just as stubborn as you are!" Blanca spoke with a little smile on her lips as she gave him a sly look. "Don't be concerned. There's no danger of that, my love. My stubbornness wil

    Nirvana, on the other hand, smirked and murmured, "I happen to know that you are killing all of the offspring you have spawned through your wicked younger years," Nirvana said with a smirk and a "tsked."Camellana looked at Danny with a guilty expression on her face.Nirvana went on to say, "After all, you are not the only one that has spies." It turned out to be true. Nirvana had covertly dispatched spies across the hamlets in order to gather information about Camellana's plan.Continuing to dig, Nirvana said, "You are gathering military resources for yourselves to take with you, leaving Redberg Village as a shell of its former self, with its great walls as its sole defense. And I'm not sure what the assembly of the knights had expected you to perform, but I'm sure it's something big, something monumentally important. Despite Sulu's self-assurance and bluster, your very situation was dire. Andrew Norton was led here by my spy, and you are well aware that I am probably the only person i

    Diana made a shaky motion with her head. Several strands of filth dropped from her hair and landed on the dirt floor. Diana then continued to recount all that had occurred earlier, while the others sat there and sobbed as she spoke. The others were so enraged at the traitors that it was understandable that they were infuriated. Even Anna had been questioned about what had transpired, and she proceeded to tell them about her confrontation with Sulu as well, which elicited a gasp from the audience.The elderly lady was deafeningly silent. Diana recognized that she was just as excellent at concealing her feelings as Lucinda was. In addition to being a charismatic leader, she would also be an excellent commander of their troops, as Anna would be.The following morning, Diana, Danny Nirvana, and Elfar, who had recovered from his wounds, arrived in the Redberg Village, which was close to Camellana's villa. As a result, Knight Leo chose to stay for another day at the witches' new cavern, firs

    Elfar had the distinct impression that the ground itself was enraged at them. Massive mountains of loosened rock were falling into the cavern, and the rapid shift of such a large amount of mass was causing the entire area to become unstable. A louder, sharper disturbance could be heard just above their heads, and when Elfar peered up, he noticed fissures appearing in the concrete and stone roof of the tunnel. It was a terrifying sight. Within seconds, the fissures had grown in length and width. Clods of earth spilled out of them, strewing the train rails with their ashes."Run!" Elfar let out a yell. He snatched Anna and Leo's arms once more. "The tunnel is about to collapse! Is it possible for Nirvana to create some gateways, perhaps portals, to allow us all out?" Elfar was the one who inquired."I'm not sure if it's even possible to do so. Lucinda had made certain that her spell was strong enough to prevent anyone from entering or exiting the cavern without her permission. It's not t

    Leo and Anna seemed to smile at their successful accomplishment.When they returned to Diana, they saw that she was barely holding her own against Sulu, but Nirvana was on her side as well.But Anna rushes to the other witches who were still battling with the two elders, and the three of them are found dead in the ravine, practically sizzling with the lava, as the enormous beast slowly drops its black tail into the ravine and falls. Along with the witches, of course. Then Anna threw herself at the elders and engaged in combat with the four friends. While Tommy engaged in combat with the four huge goblins that had fallen from the above-ground pit. And Leo rushed to Diana's side to assist her.Although she was backed up against the ravine that encircled Sulu's dais, Diana came close to falling, until the snake plunged into the lava under her feet. Nirvana was well aware that Diana was on the verge of being pushed over the ledge and into the abyss of molten lava below her feet. She didn'

    Tommy added, "Oh well, D. I had planned on eating snake BBQ for dinner this evening, but it's not even feasible with that shadow hanging over me. Doesn't it look like a green screen that was used in future movies, D?""Yes, it's some kind of animated fuck of crap! In addition to a pot of giant worm soup. So put an end to your stomach aches and put your wolf fangs on, Tom."Then both of them halted their mind foolish conversation then Sulu's boomed around the niche of the chamber."Your commander Cornelius is a weakling," Sulu howled. "...Cornelius was a softie, but Nirvana here, on the other hand, was astute in assisting me, as were the two other chiefs." The two elders of the Dark Native's coven appeared out of nowhere, causing the witches to gasp in surprise. It took them completely by shock. It's no surprise why Sulu was successful in apprehending Lucinda. "Traitor!" Anna muttered under their collective breath while the rest of the witches stared at the two older leaders with contem

    But Sulu is a master at exploiting the relatively weak aspects and outsmarting his stronger opponents. Yet he was livid, and his hands trembled. His fury had such a potent effect on him that if he had stayed that way in front of a human, it would have blinded them. Nevertheless, Diana was not a human. Vampire Seer, the Fated One. She wouldn't be phased with this jerk. She thought to herself.Sulu, on the other hand, flashed a menacing smile and lifted his hands in the air as if invoking his magical abilities. "Arise, my brethren!" he said emphatically.Then unexpectedly, the huge shadow and black barrier started to wiggle and move. To slither towards them. It was not a column that had fallen. It had come to life. And it was now poised to swoop down on Diana's entourage.Meanwhile, Knight Leo vampire knights and Aya's witches were frantically fighting with the Goblin who was waiting at the entrance to the Gathering Hall.
