- Strange... Didn’t they really explain anything to you? – she asked thoughtfully.William shuddered, involuntarily remembering the events of recent days. Frowning, the brunette answered dryly:- No. They were too busy with their cruel hobbies.The woman chuckled. It seemed that the young man’s words did not excite her one bit.- You are in the west of Norfwold, in Zhedan. This city is a stronghold of Hunters.- Hunters? – William asked in surprise.The woman rubbed her chin with thin, graceful fingers, not taking her sly, hazel eyes off the brunette's gaze.- This is something similar to your Lygrian Inquisition. We also fight vampires. Only we don’t kill them,” a predatory smile bloomed on her face. - We force them to serve our people. You've already experienced the Hunters' ability to train vampires to obey, haven't you?William shivered, unable to cope with the flood of memories. The unbearable agony that he endured during captivity became his worst nightmare. The brunette looked
Valya raised her hand to her face and touched the scar with her fingers. Ira noted to herself that this was not the first time in recent times. The Oracle smiled sadly, looking into the fire and lost in her own thoughts.The evening filled the cave with summer, night coolness. A restless wind blew all day, creating a feeling of anxiety. Ira sat by the fireplace and read one of Valya's few books. Thin pages, yellowed with time, told the girl about the properties of medicinal herbs, their varieties and places of flowering. Ira did not so much try to remember what she read as understand that what the pages revealed to her was already known to her somewhere deep inside. But the girl could not remember how she knew this. So all that remained was to be content with the pleasant feeling of something familiar.The Oracle silently entered the cave. She laid out a new batch of herbs on the table and began to look for linen thread on the shelves so that she could tie the stems into bundles and h
- Quiet, my love. Now everything will be fine,” Kyrian smiled gently and left the cave, taking the winged girl with him.Blurry spots danced before my eyes. Ira heard voices. Male voices. They moved away.The girl rolled onto her side and grimaced. The body didn't listen well. Terrible weakness filled the muscles with lead, making any movement almost impossible. Each breath was given with incredible effort. Ira, breathing heavily, rose to all fours. Her head began to spin, and the brunette miraculously did not fall to the ground.Everything swam before my eyes. The girl did not immediately recognize the figure lying on the floor. The metallic smell of blood turned my head. The heartbeat quickened, sounding like an alarm bell in the chest, driving the pitiful remnants of blood through the dying tissues. Ira swallowed hard, trying to ignore the burning thirst choking her throat. The brunette slowly crawled towards the figure, realizing with horror that it was the wounded Valya.Sitting
“I don’t agree,” Felix said sternly.Tristan flushed.- What an idiot! Completely obsessed with his nobility! Didn't you hear my words?! – the vampire’s gaze flashed lightning.Felix clenched his fists and stubbornly raised his chin. Tantario walked around the mare and came face to face with the knight. He glared at his companion for a while, then turned sharply and walked away, straightening the gray shirt Felix had given him that was slipping off his shoulders. Since the knight was taller and more powerful than the blond, Tantario practically drowned in these clothes. It's a pity that his things turned into holey rags after an unsuccessful teleport. However, we can say thank you that only things were damaged, and not he himself was blown to pieces. There have been such cases.The sliding fabric revealed the blonde's pale shoulders. Felix took a closer look at them, paying close attention to the red, thin cuts covered in dried blood. These wounds were taking up too much of their time
-Have you come to your senses?Felix opened his eyes and saw the face of a vampire bending over him. The scarlet haze no longer spoiled the sky-blue irises of the eyes. The knight frowned, looking at the blond's body. On his bare neck were thin stripes of scars, which just a few minutes ago had been black and scarlet cuts.“Of course, I haven’t fully recovered,” Tristan noted, turning away from the man lying on the ground. Felix sat up slowly, fighting off the dizziness. - We'll repeat it tomorrow.The knight glared at his back.- Aren’t you too arrogant? – the man was indignant.Tristan turned around, looked at the young man over his shoulder and winked slyly.- After all, it's not so unpleasant, is it? You moaned earnestly.Felix flushed with indignation. Jumping to his feet, he grabbed the hilt of his new sword, which he acquired after losing his previous one during the battle with the snake.- You will drive me to white heat, vampire! – the knight cried, taking his weapon out of i
“There are vampires among them,” Tantario muttered dryly through his teeth.- Vampires cooperate with people?! – the brown-haired man whispered dumbfounded. Tristan was also unpleasantly surprised. He thought that vampires would never stoop to playing war games with people.The line of warriors wavered, and a tall woman came out to meet the guys. She was wearing a tight-fitting scarlet suit with a fur collar, high red boots and a black and gold cloak, on which the design of a bloody rose stood out clearly. Long scarlet hair was pulled into a high ponytail. Hazel eyes looked at the strangers mockingly and somewhat arrogantly.- So so so. “Wow, what kind of people we have here,” the woman spoke in a chesty, languid voice that caused a pleasant shiver. “I didn’t think that anyone would be interested in this ancient pagan temple.”- What's strange about this? – stepping forward, Tantario took the floor. - Is it forbidden to be in Two Moons?“It is forbidden for us to have free vampires in
He didn't immediately understand what was happening. The first thing that came to mind was the fact that he drinks sugary blood. He had never tasted such deliciousness before. Taking a hesitant sip, he felt a wave of bliss run through his body. Hands clutched the hilt of the sword. Someone's weak, cold fingers frantically grabbed at him, trying in vain to tear his hands away from the weapon.He abruptly broke away from his victim and, looking into the blue eyes of the vampire, clouded with pain, was horrified.“Tristan,” Onyx whispered, not believing what he saw.“It turned out to be you after all,” the blond croaked, spitting out blood. - And I thought I was crazy.William looked down and saw a sword blade protruding from the lord's chest. Where the unusual steel came into contact with the body, the skin turned black with dried blood. Tears of despair sparkled in the brunette's eyes, which had returned to their dark color.- Why?! Why did this happen?! – he shouted in despair.-You h
The knight squinted, looking at the unusual letters.- So everything is clear here! – Felix exclaimed.The vampires' eyebrows shot up synchronously.-Can you read this? – Tristan was surprised. It was difficult for him to believe that a person knew a language unknown to vampires.- This is an ancient lunar one. We studied it at the paladin academy.-Are you also a paladin? – no longer hiding his surprise, Tristan soared.“Unsuccessful, unfortunately,” Felix smiled sadly, turning to the blond. – But this is a long story. And this is what is written here:“When you enter there, forget who was and is.Do not touch, since there is darkness in the heart, there is no honor.Only by dying and living again,Your truth will reveal this world.”It's simple. If we go there, our lives will change forever. And if we come in with an unclean heart, it will be... bad, in general,” the knight cheerfully told his friends.Felix then lightly pushed the door open and stepped forward without thinking. Tri
