Viggo sat on his throne, looking down at his captains and generals discuss war tactics, each one discarding the others proposals, he often waited to see if they could come to a decision themselves but almost all the time he would interrupt and make the decision himself.

"I tell you we need to strike now!" One captain argued

"If we attack now we ruin any element of surprise, we should wait until they reach the mainland" another argued against him

Then it was impossible to make out what any of them were saying as they all raised their voices and argued at the same time. Finger pointing, fists bashing down on the table, even shirt grabbing ensued and Viggo just rubbed his temple, usually this would entertain him but not when the situation was a serious as it was now.

"ENOUGH!" Viggo yelled furiously

Everyone quoted down and looked at Viggo frightened and with respect.

"It is clear that none of you know how to handle our current predicament so it looks like it comes down to me again."

He got up from his throne and walked to the table calmly "If it wasn't for your skills in battle and leadership of your own fleets, you would have all been annihilated long ago"

Viggo leaned over the war table looking over the map which was pinned with multiple small blue and red flags.

"So are you sure our target is in Toyla?" Viggo asked in a calm manner

"Yes sir, our spies have picked up evidence to say so" one Captain spoke up confidently

Viggo raised an eyebrow at the Captain and nodded "Good, so what was the evidence?"

"Our spies reported that Fredix and Myra Colthart have been spotted living in the city, with a girl of the right age, hair of gold and eyes of sapphires"

Viggo looked confused and furrowed his brows "And the rest of the evidence?"

The Captain looked shocked "Uh, that's all there is my lord"

Viggo shook his head in disappointed "So your evidence is that Fredix and Myra have a child?" He approached the Captain until he was face to face with him

The Captain tried to not look into Viggo's eyes fearing what he would see, but he dared not look away "I..uh...she ii...is the rrr...right age my lord, with the right hh...hair and eye colour"

Viggo placed a hand on the Captain's shoulder and smiled "So you don't think that they may have had a child of their own, I know they are her Godparents but ten years on we still don't know what happened to her, so I will not burn an entire city to the ground based on a hunch" Viggo remained calm as patted the Captain on his shoulder and then he walked away

"My apologies my lord, please forgive me"

Viggo sat on his throne and looked at the Captain still surprisingly calm, "No apology needed, I can see that you thought that what you had was sufficient evidence however we require more substantial proof"

Suddenly a black cloud came shooting through one of the windows of the room and landed in front of the table facing Viggo. As the smoke disappeared a figure stood smiling, he was wearing gold armour with black markings, he had a horned helmet under his arm and a tattoo of blue claw marks over his left eye.

"Dagur, my old friend, you certainly like to keep my repairmen busy" Viggo chuckled as he gestured to the broken window.

Dagur nodded his briefly head down in respect be laughing "Well I do like to make an entrance, but my apologies my lordship I'll try to remember the door next time"

Dagur placed his helmet on the table and walked around towards Viggo, "I bring good news, my spies have located Astrid Hofferson"

Viggo looked at Dagur wide eyed "I hope you have provided more sufficient evidence than I have received previously" Viggo eyed up the Captain before turning back to Dagur.

"Well my spies have informed of a girl of the right age, with blonde hair and blue eyes living with Fredix and Myra Colthart in Toyla..." Dagur was explaining

"That is the exact same evidence I was given" The Captain explained

"Silence you walking food supply, interrupt me again and I won't turn you, I will feed then I will kill you" Dagur threatened menacingly and the Captain backed away

"Anyway before I was so rudely interrupted, This girl had an incident yesterday where she had blood literally on her hands and kept staring at it, almost infatuated with it, now as we know the girl we are looking for is around 24 years old, blonde hair and blue eyes, but what you didn't know is the girl is also an Alpha Vampire" Dagur explained

"You mean like you?" One general asked

"Exactly like me, so let explain Alpha Vampires can hide their natural appearances you know the fangs, red eyes and play skin to fit in around humans, but we are also unaffected by sunlight, so we don't have to worry about that"

"So we have a girl who matches the description, who has a fascination with blood and can walk in sunlight?" Viggo asked as if to question if there was more

"Also lives with Fredix and Myra Colthart, but not only that they saw a boy talking to her, with fast reflexes, green eyes, auburn hair and about the same age." Dagur explained

Viggo leant forward with a surprised look on his face "You mean that, she was possibly talking to him?" Viggo said almost in a panic voice

"We didn't catch his name, but after he talked to her, he disappeared down a dark alley and vanished. But the signs point to him possibly being the one, he matched the description and also had the very conflicted demeanor about him"

Viggo stood up with violent movement "Move the plan forward! Dagur you are to capture and as planned marry Astrid Hofferson to gain control of all the Vampire Covens, and once you have her send Toyla and everyone in it to Oblivion, especially Fredix and Myra Colthart, but ensure that this boy is annihilated, I will not risk him being the one of prophecy!" He ordered with so much rage that even Dagur stepped back in fear

"Aye your Lordship" The Generals and Captains began to leave the room

"Not you" He pointed at the Captain who had previously been called out by Viggo "You stay"

He turned to Dagur "Keep your spies on her and if he becomes more of a interference I want to know"

Dagur nodded "Yes my Lord"

Viggo smiled "After such a long journey my friend, you must be hungry"

Dagur grinned darkly "Starving" He licked his lips turning to the Captain

Viggo pointed at the Captain "Please help yourself"

The Captain force in shock before seeing Dagur lunging at him and then holding him down on the floor

"No, please your Lordship, please it will never happen again, ple...arghhhhh"

Viggo chuckled as he lifted his wine glass "Such a messy eater"
