Raymond hurried towards the night blind alley, exhausted, dehydrated, and the adrenaline that had coursed through his veins earlier now fading and breathing in. He slowly stopped and now blindly walked and thought about his mission. It was accomplished, and he had delivered the message. That's what matters most, yet he was dreading the idea of leaving the young woman in the mansion.

Raymond, look up; the stars filled the sky like pale corn on freshly turned ground. It was the promise of life in the darkness—a sense of warmth springing from the cold—that swept him to his skin. It was a vastness to bring humility and an eternal space to bring gratitude for the cosiness of home, yet he was far from home. No matter the years that passed, Raymond saw each night sky as a fresh gift given anew. It was the moment anyone who knew him would see his eyes smile and his breathing deepen just a little, yet the worry never left him. What happened to the mansion was not his problem, nor was it his mi

    21st centuryEnglish Lake DistrictEnglandIt was dark when Tommy awoke. He peeked at the clock on the bedside table; it didn't surprise him to see that it was only 9 p.m. He'd decided on an early night after driving all day, but he couldn't sleep. No matter how many different motels in different towns he slept in, the beds were always the same. He could never settle. He guesses he was a creature of habit; he preferred his own bed on the few occasions his part-time job allowed him to sleep in it. But tomorrow he will go mountain climbing with a few friends, and he was excited.He was one of the old school students, a travelling adventurer, and his thesis and school could wait. He spent around two weeks of the year on the road trying to drum up his adventure self, driving from one rundown town to the next. Let's face it, there wasn't much call out in the sticks for what he was trying to do, though being an orphan and a master of everything, for that matter, had its perks occasionally.

But his group unfortunately encountered a blizzard, so some retreated and some stayed and called for a rescue. However, being the adventurous he was, he stays and risks the unforgiving blizzard, together with a beautiful woman he met on this grand venture of his life. Casey.Holding hands, she strolled in the cold terrain and hoped to find a shelter. The cold weather comes to doodle upon the trees that were now covered in white, sculpting ice crystals as the north wind brings the snow.Tommy dabbed the sweat from his forehead, then continued to shovel the snow from the floor of the snow cave. They have no choice but to make a makeshift shelter. Through the dimming light outside, he could see the enormous flakes of snow floating to the ground. This blizzard had caught Casey and him off guard, and now they were being forced to build a snow cave to wait out the storm. The wail of

    17th CenturyFew weeks later.Late afternoon, Diana was awakened by the howls of the wild wolves from the woods. After a quick nap in the garden, her mind swum with a departing dream as she sighed. Reluctant to end her beautiful dreams, she began her night with the same dread of waiting for Andrew to return. It had been months, and Andrew had not returned.The light of late afternoon set as she slowly opened her eyes and brought her hands to guard the unwanted brightness from the garden lamp post.Diana surveyed the landscape and gazed down below the distant cliff. Far away through the land was a sliver of white, and the stars felt more distant in the coldness of winter. Sunsets came in the kind of oranges that bring warmth to her eyes and soul. It was early fall and still warm, but a chill went through her. This was the point of no return. There was no going back. She hugged herself, wishing she’d thought to ask for a wrap. Oh God! She was going to die here.“Milady, excuse me," Raym

    Andrew's group hurriedly sprinted to the scent of the feral werewolf. He knew it was Tomas. Diana murmured, "Andrew, can you smell what I—”“Yes,” he intruded.“We need to hurry.”“That is what we are doing.”She rolled her eyes.Breathing heavily, Raymond and Eve followed suit and reached the riverbanks in no time. Andrew stopped abruptly when he saw the massive creatures. A huge, vicious jet black werewolf with a broad body and stocky legs, a long snout, and raven shaggy hair with red, fiery eyes. It lay on the bank of the river and seemed like it was finally awake and now glaring at them. Slowly, he covered Diana with his body and told Eve and Raymond to back away a little. “Stay hidden. I will handle this.”"Oh, bloody hell no, Andrew, that thing is massive." Diana saw nothing like this before. The stiffness on its muscles told her the beast had been worrying; it was not just an ordinary feral, it looked at Andrew with a knowing, intelligent look.“Diana, trust me, Tomas is feral

    The warriors tossed young Elizabeth around among them. The leader shouted, "Who wants Alpha Jefferson's girl?" The rest of the crew shouted with delight as they howled in unison.They brought her to the stage as they toyed with Elizabeth, shredding her robes and pulling her hair. One of the cruel Wetland Pack warriors struck her on the cheek with a closed hand, bringing blood from her olive skin. “You deserve that whore!” One of the warriors smirked. It had been days since the rogue who attacked the Whiteland pack brought the alpha’s daughters. They exchange Elizabeth with swords, food, and gold. Now, hopeless and desperate to stay alive, Elizabeth grumbled under her breath.The three ugly warriors poked around her, and she began to scream to them for mercy. Her cries echoed through the dark woods where they had brought her to play their cruel game and have their sick fun.

    In the afternoon, when Alpha Henry arrived at the misty woods where Eve and Raymond camped, he shifted into his human form, butt-naked. He looked for something to cover himself and found a banana leaf and wrapped it around his exposed manhood. He tied it carefully around his waist and then whispered a safe passage to the hidden cottage of Eve. Few knew about it, yet he was one of those few who was fortunate enough to know the precise location of her hidden camp.Whispering words to the garlands, the foggy cottage was now visible as he knocked on the door and silently waited for Eve to open it. Surveying the surroundings, he noticed how the front door opened slightly and the enclosed, tiny stone porch carried the aroma of flowers and the warmth of the home. The old wooden veranda was where one would relax when the chance of a conversation with passing neighbours was welcome, but it was all covered in mud and drops of recent blood.On the left side, some plants reached up past the woode

    “Don't give me that look, Henry," Eve said annoyingly.Diana stood and looked at the alpha. “Yes, Eve was correct. Andrew and I saw him tied upside down in the tree, Alpha. We rescued him, and right now he was still not with himself; his soul was still with this man," Diana pointed to Andrew."I'm sorry, Milady, you mean that man is the—'' he asked disbelievingly. “Is that the legendary vampire Lawvosky? The ancient vampire?" Henry's eyes twitched in bewilderment. He was surprised; he heard so much about this legendary ancient one, though none seemed to see him or know him personally, but his legendary power and abilities were the talk among the supernatural. He was known to cloak his scent and be a master in disguise. He was also rumoured to be the only one who could travel in time and was cursed to eternity. He thought that if the unconscious man was really indeed the vampire Lawvosky, then he was indeed lucky to have such an honour to see him face-to-face, and even though the latte

    The next morning, Raymond reached the other side of the valley. Behind him, below him, and ahead of him, it was all the same. Then he examined a bald eagle on the tree; it looked into the distance like it was contemplating something philosophical. If it wasn't just a bird in the early fall sunshine and feathers were as shiny, then he might believe that it was giving him a warning enough to give him goosebumps.Minutes passed, and he was almost to the mountain range when he heard a long whistle, signalling for something. He halted, breathless, as he scanned his surroundings, and his head snapped up. His brown, liquid eyes swirled in a stormy vigilance.What was that? He asked himself and tried to calm down. Raymond heeded the sound, and his eyes darted everywhere.Another whistle.He smiled. It was a whistle that he recognized. His fears vanished immediately, and he turned towards where the sound came from. A little smile graced his lips as the familiarity of it gave him wonderful memo

    " 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.

    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.
