Chapter 7
A Stranger This Way Comes
Viktor was not the only being who could survive death. Lucian was thought to be dead for many years. He also knew about the time transportal and it seems knew about what had happened to Selene and what took place at their meeting. Lucian knew that he had to act quickly. Otherwise it would mean irreparable damage to his Brood. He transported himself just outside of the small village of Transylvania. As he passed along the outskirts of the Village he blended in with the rest of the peasants. He in effect did speak their native Rumanian tongue. Being careful, not to inquire about a certain female. He made small talk with the Villagers, and by careful deduction, found out about the Gypsy Princess and her poor Brother the Prince who was bitten by the Werewolf, when they were trying to rid the town of this Beast.
Lucian had a plan, he needed to find her, but first he needed to find her Brother. Her name was Anna Valerious, her Brother was Prince Velkan. Lucian knew that he would be able to help him, but he would ask for something very valuable in exchange.
He headed through the mountains, he knew from his own experience, that he was just waiting for a time to strike, looking for his next meal.
He had searched for two days, and it was beginning to turn nightfall. The full moon was beginning to show through the clouds. When he finally heard the horrendous howl that he was so familiar with. The Beast landed so close to Lucian, that they came face to face. He lunged at him with the sharp fangs showing, and claws reaching to tear his flesh to pieces. Except for the one fact. Lucian was Master of all Werewolf Kind. He grew enormous, head and shoulders over this Younger Werewolf. The fight began they charged each other, growling and clawing, tearing into each other's fur. Loud crashing noises, just as it began, it ended so soon, when there came a crash to the ground. Prince Velkan of the Gypsy's was defeated. Lucian knew what he had to do. He leaned down near Velkan and whispered to him, I know what you have been going through my friend. I can help you. The full moon will soon rise again, you will not be able to fight it. Just one drop of my blood will slow down your changing back into the Creature. It will never be gone for good, you will always carry the Wolf's bane. The choice is yours. Velkan, leaned over and said, "if this is true my friend, then I can not suffer hell and all its torments a moment longer, do this".
Lucian tore into, his own flesh with his sharp fangs, and opened Velkan's mouth with his and Velkan drank his blood.
The full moon came upon them, Velkan, felt the stirring inside of him, and got ready to face the worst. It did come and there was loud rumbling noise in his ears. Lucian said to Velkan, "the Beast is being controlled, but you need to learn to control the beast as well". He picked up Velkan, and slung him over his shoulder and asked Velkan if there is a place to find rest.
"Yes, I will take you to my Sister Anna", Velkan replied. That was all Lucian needed to hear. So far his plan was working out quite well.
