The Accidental Vampire

While Lancaster had high hopes for the future, he wasn’t the only one. Almost everyone inside the carriage wanted one thing or another from the future. At the same time, none of them knew what the future held in store for them.

Even the Carriage Driver was hoping to get a lot of money in the future from Atlas so that he could start a business of his own.

In the middle of the night, theirs was the only carriage that could be seen on the empty roads that led to another city.

After getting far enough, the carriage driver stopped.

He walked to the carriage and knocked on the door. “We are quite far from the city. I’ll need the destination now if you don’t want us to get lost.”

Lilith opened the door and informed where to take them. Out of everyone here, only she knew where the Blood Council was, and she was also the one who selected a path that could lead there.

She made sure to take a slightly different route than the straight one since she didn’t want anyone to trace them just by sheer luck.

The carriage driver understood the instructions and went back to his seat, slightly confused about why these people were making the path more complicated than it needed to be, but still, he went with the flow.

He didn’t question them too much. It was his responsibility to take them where they wanted to go in exchange for their money. He couldn’t say no after going there all this while.

He agreed with Lilith and got back to his seat.

The Kingdom of Wolves was just a shadow of its glorious past. The Kingdom that was always filled with life was now filled with blood and bodies.

The Royalty was killed, and the current Royal Bloodline was wiped clean. As for the person who caused all this… He was lying on top of the beautiful Castle, gazing at the moon.

It was as if the castle was his bed, and the sky was the roof.

He had no idea that many people were waiting for him to leave. As if to intentionally annoy them, he just stayed there, gazing at the night sky. He wasn’t in any hurry. He didn’t have a family to go back to. He didn’t have anyone. All he had were enemies at this point.

Through the last decades, he had been in deep slumber, but despite that, he felt tired. It wasn’t a physical tiredness but a mental one.

It was as if he didn’t have a moment of real peace in centuries. Even now, his mind was completely chaotic, but at least he could rest where his real home was.

He was banished from entering the Kingdom, and he respected that banishment. He never tried to enter the place, but now… Now that he had arrived, there was no one to stop him. The people who had banished him… They weren’t even alive anymore.

It was just the beginning as well. The beginning of him cleaning the world of all the filth that there was in this World.

But before that, he wanted to rest… Get the rest that he hadn’t received in a long time. Basking in the moonlight, the man didn’t even realize when his eyes closed, and he fell asleep.

Ramiun and Elisi both watched Vor sleep. Both of them cursed their luck, seeing him waste time like this. Now that he was done here, he should’ve just left. Instead, he chose to spend the rest of the night in the Kingdom, right in the freaking castle where they needed to be.

The two of them realized that maybe it was impossible for them to get inside the Kingdom at night without having to face Vor.

With that in mind, they decided to wait for even longer. It was only a matter of time since he had to leave. They were sure that he couldn’t stay there all his life.

Ramiun was slightly pleased as well at the display of Vor, even though he also wanted Vor to leave. Through Vor’s actions, he was assured that Vor didn’t have any idea that Atlan was inside the castle. That convinced Ramiun that he was going to have an easier time getting to Ramiun after Vor left since Vor couldn’t take what he didn’t even know existed there.

“Keep an eye on Vor. I’ll be resting as well.” Instead of keeping an eye on his surroundings himself, Ramiun gave the task to his people before he also entered his carriage to rest.

The night slowly passed away as people eagerly waited for the morning.

With the first ray of light falling on his face, Vor woke up from his slumber. His eyes opened.

He sat up, gazing at his surroundings. For a moment, he even wondered if he had seen a dream. However, as he observed all the dead bodies in the surrounding area, he realized that it wasn’t a dream. The things he saw actually happened. He actually destroyed the Kingdom.

He stood up and jumped down the castle roof, landing on the ground right at the entrance of the castle.

Through the blood covered streets, he started leaving the Kingdom, going in a very specific direction. As for the direction he chose, it seemed he also had a reason for it since he was now going toward the Blood Council.

Before long, Vor left the city. What Ramiun had been waiting for finally happened. Ramiun was finally informed by his men that Vor had left. Ramiun eagerly came out of his carriage.

“Then it’s our time to enter. Also, prepare to face Elisi. She would be coming as well.” He informed his men.

Unlike Elisi, who only brought a few of her people, Ramiun brought an entire army since he already knew that Elisi was going to be here. Unlike Elisi, who thought that Ramiun and others were going to take quite some time to find her. That assumption made Elisi only bring her closest warriors.

Both, Elisi’s group and Ramiun’s group rushed to the city, which once used to be a place where the two of them had to think twice before even getting close to. The city didn’t have the firepower that it used to have before. Instead, it was like a barren land now.

****

Elisi was the first one to enter the city, but as soon as she entered, she also noticed more people coming from the other end. She was one of those people realizing that the people were being led by Ramiun.

The two sides stopped, leaving barely five meters of distance between them.
