Chapter 9:

Drake Valei made his way to the capital of the Gremory devil clan's teritory. There he hoped to find the young girl he had a life debt owed to. Six years ago, Nicole saved his life when laid dying in abandoned building and trreated him very kindly despite his threats. A couple weeks ago, the oracle of the vampires at one of the vampire's sacred ritual, divined that he must start paying his life debt within the month or only misfortune will be in his and his family's future. So he went to look for her in the town she saved him but to only find her gone. After exhausting research, He found out that she was the long lost daughter of the Gremory clan. Upon learning this he headed out to see her.

...

Nicole soon learned that taking care of a baby dragon was hard work even with the help of his mother and he grew fast. He was a mischevious ball energy and destruction. She had to replace several pieces of furniture already and he had only been alive for a month, but she loved him like a little brother. A week after bringing home Tiamut and Tanner, she was woken up one morning by a 3 year old looking todler with red hair and blue eyes which surprised her greatly as this was not her nephew Millicas who was several years older that this boy. It turned out that this boy was Tanner and he had finaly learned how to shift between his dragon and human forms like Tiamut can. Tanner for his part, was extremely fond of his mother and his master.

One day, Nicole while sitting out in the garden with Tiamut (during one of the few times they got Tanner to nap) was inturupted by a servant saying that a vampire was there to see her. Nicole bade the servant to let the vampire in to the garden where they were at.

Moments later a vampire Nicole recognized was ushered in.

"Lord Valei, what a pleasent surprise to see you again. Are doing well?" asked Nicole.

"I am fine," He replied. "And you?"

"I am well, thank you. This lovely lady sitting next to me is Tia-chan and currently the only member of my peerage. Tia-chan this Drake Valei, a vampire of the daywalker clan."

"It is nice to meet you." Tiamut and Drake said at the same time.

"What brought you into our neighborhood, Lord Valei?" asked Tiamut.

"I have to pay my life debt to your master," Drake aswered before he adressed Nicole. "Is there anything I can do to repay my life debt to you?"

"Not anything that I can think of, unless you want to become a member of my peerage, which I highly doubt." Answered Nicole.

"I'll do it."

Nicole did a double take at his answer. "Are you sure? Once done you can never go back to being a vampire, which is something most vampires do not like."

"An unpaid life debt brings misfortune and disaster to the person with the debt and his family. I was told by our oracle sometime ago, that if I did not take care of my life debt within the month misfortune would ocur."

"I only want member's on peerage who want to be there. Do you want to be there?"

"Yes, as far as I can see, Tia-chan looks happy here and that you have been a good master to her. Is this not so?" Drake adressed to Tiamut.

"Yes, I am happy. I am very happy that I get to spend time with my two favorite people my son, and my master." Replied Tiamut.

Drake thought for a few minutes with the females watching him waiting for a response.

"Yes, I am willing to and wanting to become a member of your peerage." Drake said.

Nicole nodded in aceptance of his decision and took out her pieces. The mutation rook piece glowed and Nicole performed the ritual on Drake.

"Welcome to your new family and peerage, Drake." said Nicole as she hugged him in welcome.

...

It took a week for Drake, Tiamut, Tanner, and Nicole to adapt to each other. But they found they got a long well together.

One day during dinner, Venelana asked Nicole if she wanted to go to London with her to take care a contract and to then spend two days in London together for som mommy and daughter bonding time. Nicole enthusiastically accepted her offer.

The next day,when they arrived in London Nicole asked, "Can I visit a pair of old friends, while you take care of buisness?"

"Sure, dear be sure to be back at the hotel by 6 pm tonight," replied Venelana.

They went their seperate ways.
