(Pov: Neo)
It has been about an hour since I woke up in this strange hell, I don't need to breathe, my heart doesn't beat... and I am really cold.
I flinch as the door creaks open; I didn't even hear anyone walk up to it and it is eerily quiet!
An older woman seems to speak in an incomprehensible language by my bedside and another responds in the strange dialect... with a strangely familiar voice.
"E-Emilia?!" I whisper.
"Oh, I see... I wasn't using a translation spell... thank you for pointing that out, Emilia." The woman says, now in a language I can understand.
I slowly peek out from under my blankets, gazing up to an older woman with brown hair, and red eyes.
"Y-You are Sean's mother... a-aren't you." I whisper.
"Yes, I am." She nods, causing me to abruptly hold my ears as her voice is really loud. "I am pleased to finally meet you!"
"Ah..." She whispers, after a moment of realization, but strangely, I am still able to hear it clearly. "Your ears haven't adjusted, have they?"
"Wh-What's happening to me?" I whisper.
"It's simple really," Sean's mother whispers as she takes a step back. "You have become like us."
"L-Like you?" I ask.
She motions me to follow her. "Come, dear, we will walk and talk, besides, I need to show you around our home."
(Pov: Qrow)
Previously~
'SHIT! Wh-what are these things?!' My blade cleaves through the flesh of one of these risen things... zombies maybe? Do zombies actually exist?
Raven steps past me and unsheathes her blade, cutting the head off a particularly large skeleton and causing it to fall into a pile of bones... only to immediately reassemble and causing a brief expression of 'oh my fucking gods I cant solve my problems by cutting off their heads... what do I do now?!' To pass over her face.
Taiyang lands a brutal punch right to the face of one of the zombies, causing it to briefly stumble backwards but mostly look unarmed.
I rip my blade free and sever this zombie's arm, and widen my eyes as it doesn't seem to heal it. "Raven, Tai! The ones with flesh can be cut!"
"Then the ones without flesh..." Taiyang mutters as he dashes forwards and punches a skeleton in the side of the head, causing its skull to crack and shatter. "Must be bashed!"
The skeleton stops moving and scatters across the floor.
"Qrow! Rave! You need to break the bones, don't aim for the joints because they can just stick their limbs back on!"
Raven gives a slightly menacing smirk as she wordlessly dives into a horde of zombies, becoming a whirling tornado of death, sending limbs, heads, and hunks of flesh flying in all directions.
"Q-Qrow-" Taiyang hisses.
"Hn."
I cast a quick glance to him to see that he isn't actually focusing on the zombies anymore and he points a shaky finger behind us.
I immediately snap around to see the small multicolored girl from earlier... being held in the arms of an older woman who has her lips pressed into her neck, the girl now deathly pale and a blank and vacant look in her multicolored eyes.
"Wh-What the hell?!" I hiss through my teeth as the woman looks up from the girl and stares at us with blood red eyes, the eyes of a predator, causing me to freeze abruptly.
"She... just killed that girl..." Taiyang whispers.
He grits his teeth and narrows his eyes, one blue now turning a bright red. "You..." He clenches his fists as the woman raises and eyebrow and gives coy smile.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" He roars as he blasts forwards, cracking the pavement where he was standing moments before.
The world moves in almost slow motion as Taiyang nears her, she simply raises and eyebrow and swats the attack around her with the hand which isn't holding the girl.
I widen my eyes, Taiyang's semblance makes him stronger the angrier he is... and I don't think I have actually seen him this livid before, but this woman... effortlessly deflected an attack which could probably dented the armor of a deathstalker.
Tai does a roundhouse kick which is blocked by the woman's forearm, the force of the attack ruffling her hair and causing her to tilt her head slightly.
'Shit! He can't take her on his own.'
I dash forwards, raising my great sword above my head preparing to slash her.
She flicks Taiyang causing him to skid backwards, a hole being ripped in his shirt right above his heart as he flies through a nearby glass window, then she holds out a hand towards me.
My body forcibly stops and lifts about a foot off the ground.
"Wh-What?!" I grit out.
She lowers her hand and walks around me slowly, observing me, multicolored girl still safely held in one arm.
"Hn... what's this forcefield around you?" She asks. "If you tell me, I might just stop this and let you all live~"
"Why would I tell you-" I grit my teeth as the world around me squeezes into me. "You killed that little girl!"
"Killed?" She asks with a small smile. "You think I killed her?"
The world squeezes more. "Y-You didn't?"
She snorts. "Of course not, why would I slay the savior of my son?"
"S-SON?!" I hiss through my teeth, only to gasp as the pain of her telekinesis eases slightly.
Raven appears from a portal beside me and attacks the woman, but she suddenly snaps her hand out and catches Raven's katana between her index and middle finger, then twists her hand, causing the blade to snap.
A large form lands behind the three of us, some sort of massive flying zombie lizard with one wing cleaved off.
"Now... I will repeat myself for you lower lifeforms... what is this forcefield thing around you? It clearly isn't magic, so I want to know."
"S-She doesn't have aura?!" Raven hisses as she leaps back as the zombie dragon thing crawls towards us, ignoring the woman entirely and going right for the weaponless Raven.
"Aura? Hn, so that is what you call it? Is it safe to assume that it also grants people powers beyond this force field, yes?"
She gazes into my eyes. "Tell me about it."
My mind goes blank. "Aura is something that all huntsmen have, and some more experienced huntsmen can even unlock it in other people, it allows them to create an invisible suit of armor around themselves that protects them from damage, it also increases our physical abilities... each person has their own special ability- or in some cases, a power that is passed down through a bloodline where it evolves further- called a semblance... some examples of semblances are like my bad luck, my sisters ability to create portals to whoever she is bound to, or Taiyangs ability to get much stronger through anger."
I quickly blink off whatever just happened, my mind clearing itself up and I look at the woman in horror. "W-What did you just do?!"
"Well, you were a little obedient human~" she smirks.
She holds out a hand towards my stomach and with a simple flick- and a wave of force crashing into my entire body- not just my stomach-, I am sent careening into the rubble of the nearby apartment building.
One of the last things I see before I fade into unconsciousness is the woman looking around to the countless undead rampaging throughout the streets, to the dragon fighting my sister, and smiles, then floats up into the air with two bat wings that extend from her back, followed shortly by that blond girl who hid in the movie theater, then she utters a final. "Kill yourselves."
All of the undead freeze, then systematically, one crushes its head between its own hands, the dragon starts repeatedly bashing its head into the road, the zombies literally start tearing themselves limb from limb, and all Raven can do is dumbly gawk at the chaos.
Then the blackness of unconsciousness takes me.
(Pov: Neo)
"IM A VAMPIRE T-THEY ACTUALLY EXIST?!"
"Correct." Sean's mother nods; We are alone as we walk the hallways, as Emilia stayed back in the room with the unconscious Sean.
"W-How?!" I ask. "And why?!"
"You were going to die so I simply made you like us... like Sean and Emilia."
"They are both-" I pause for a moment and sharply inhale, not that I have a reason too anymore I suppose... "I guess... that makes sense."
"Mn, it has slipped my mind, but I am Cassandra Grimmwarden, one of the second generation of vampires." Sean's mother, Cassandra, hums.
"I-I'm Neo, N-Neo 'Politan." I whisper. "and what do you m-mean by second generation?"
"Oh, that's simple, I was the child of two of the first vampires, that makes Sean a third-generation vampire, and typically, that means Sean's potential is much greater than mine or even his father's."
"T-then what does that make me?" I ask.
"A first-generation reincarnated vampire." She answers. "You are more-or-less about the same strength- or should be provided you did the same training- of a noble vampire- that's what Sean, Emilia, and myself are- however, you have about a one-fiftyith decrease in strength, magical power, and durability if my calculations are correct... though, compared to Sean currently, you don't even compare, you are equal maybe... five percent of his maximum combat ability... when he isn't tearing himself apart from the inside out, that is."
She mutters the last part under her breath then continues on with her point. "Basically, reincarnated vampires are the exact opposite of noble vampires, as the higher number their generation is, the weaker they are."
"I- uh- what?" I slowly stutter. "W-Why would you even reincarnate me as a vampire though."
"Because Sean is madly love you of course~"
"WHAT?!"
I abruptly clutch my ears and hunch over slightly as they are assaulted by a loud thumping sound.
"Adorable." Cassandra smiles. "You are completely love-stricken as well, aren't you?
The thrumming in my ears eventually ceases after maybe thirty seconds, allowing me to actually hear again.
"W-what the heck was that?!" I hiss.
"Oh, that was simply your heart beat... once your ears adjust you will learn how to filter out loud sounds like that so you can focus on conversations."
"B-But what did you mean about Sean..." I slowly ask, quietly muttering the last four words under my breath so quietly that I didn't even hear them.
"Him being in love with you?" She asks. "Hn, yeah, he is, he is just too innocent to really know how to proceed with that, which is kind of surprising if I am going to be honest, his sister has always sort of been sadistic and evil to all but our family, it's frankly why she can't get a husband, but Sean is just... surprisingly innocent... no real hate, no sadistic or evil streak, and most importantly zero lust."
"Though... I suppose he learned to hate when you were stabbed, hm?"
I wince at the memory. "W-What happened to him? And is he even really my age?"
"Oh, you are around... fifteen, correct?" Cassandra hums as we walk through an elaborate library full of shelves that go up and up and up for nearly fifty feet.
"F-Fourteen."
"Hn, he is only a year younger than you, then; kind of surprising for an immortal race to be within a year of age to a human... it's like you two were made for each other~"
The beating of my heart once again makes itself known, making me cringe and unconsciously bring my hands up to my ears again.
Once it stops, I ask another question. "But what about Sean?"
"What happened to him, you mean?" Cassandra asks. "Simple really, you getting stabbed set him off and he unlocked something that he shouldn't have... as the fight with the creature that stabbed you went on, he was slowly tearing his body apart, luckily he managed to turn it off before he fully killed himself, but it has left him fairly drained... so he should be unconscious for... a fortnight possibly? Maybe more if we are unlucky..."
I look down slightly. 'he hurt himself that bad... for me?'
"Don't blame yourself, my Childe, if anyone is to blame, it is that fallen, shame that he is already six feet under... a ghost can't feel the full... repercussions of their actions."
I am going to ignore that creepy soul-torture-y shit she just said and move onto something more important.
"Come now." She calls over her shoulder as she speeds up her walking slightly. "We are nearly there~"
We come to stop at a large table where another woman seems to be working.
"This is my only daughter, June." The older woman beside me gestures towards the girl reading a book and taking notes in some sort of ancient runes.
The girl briefly looks up to her mother, allowing me to see her entire appearance, a black dress with a couple of ribbons along the back creating two small diamonds that allow her shoulder blades to poke through, she has deep blood red eyes with slitted pupils much like her mother and brother and long brown hair that reaches her shoulder blades, along with this family's iconic single tuft of hair that protrudes upwards much like her mother and brother.
Her eyes stray to me then she shrugs and goes back to her book
I briefly turn my head to look at Sean's mother and when I look back, her face is inches from my own, her eyes staring into mine.
"OHMYGOSH-" I stumble back and clutch my ears again as my ears are assaulted by loud noises once more, this time my voice.
"So, you are the one who stole my little brother's heart?" She brings up a hand to her mouth and lets out a joyous chuckle then sits down. "You are really something to look at, so I suppose I can understand why he is so enthralled with you~"
The thumping of my heartbeat make itself known... is this going to become a damned THEME?! because it HURTS!
"Heh." June smirks. "You are going to be fun to mess with until you figure out how to control that."
"June." The beating abruptly stops and I feel a chill through my spine, then I slowly look over my shoulder towards Sean's mother.
"Fiiine fiiine." June sighs and rubs the back of her head. "I guess I could hold off on my teasing until you... get settled shall we say."
"O-okay." I whisper.
"I wasn't lying though... you are quite beautiful... kind of strange how humanity has evolved, yes?"
"W-w- I- u-uh T-Thank you." I finally stutter out... "M-Most other people really don't seem to think so, but I-I'm happy that some do."
June's eyes narrow and I see her smile become strained. "Oh? Who exactly ridicules you for your appearance?"
I flinch at her sudden shift from joyous and coy to murderous and vindictive.
"U-Uh- n-nobody important!" I quickly whisper out.
"Mn." Comes her eventual grunt of acceptance. "The jealousy of humans... sad, really."
"Y-You think they were j-jealous? I ask.
"Yes, I think they were... it is the only way they would exclude someone like you."
"Touching." Cassara snorts.
June looks over to her mother. "Oi, I am just trying to connect with Sean's future betrothed, can you stop?"
My heartbeats deafen me AGAIN... this is getting old really fast...
June lets out a quiet chuckle under the quiet glare of her mother and eventually sighs. "Alright, that was the last one... for now."
I look down at the floor with a slight dusting of pink on my cheeks.
"Hey, look at me." June says while gently putting a hand on my shoulder.
I slowly look back up to her.
"Come to me if anyone ever gives you a hard time again..." She states. "If anyone ever does- hn... well, I think you get the general thought..."
"A-Alright."
'Why is Sean's sister a complete psychopath?! I-is this all Vampires?! D-does Sean have a dark side like this?!'
"Well, I think this is enough June for today..." Cassandra mutters. "Come on my childe, we should find you a room."
"O-Okay..." I whisper, following her quickly out of the liberary.
After about two or three minutes of walking, the older woman looks at me. "Listen, Neo, you can blame me if you want... for turning you without permission, but don't blame Sean, he had nothing to do with it and was happy with you just staying human forever... please just don't hurt my son even more than he already is..."
"Wh- I would never!" I exclaim.
"I'm glad... he has lost enough of what makes him special as it is, I don't wish to add heartbroken to the mound of problems." The woman sighs.
We silently walk for about thirty seconds before I pose a question. "S-so, I have met you and Sean's sister, but does he have a father?"
"Of course, he does." The woman snorts. "We will be seeing him later as he is currently working on your Dayheart."
"My... what?"
"Oh, well, a Dayheart is simply something that allows non-noble vampires like yourselves to venture out into the sun without disintegrating."
"Oh... I can't... go in the sun anymore..." I slowly mutter.
Now I won't be able to go to the beach... go to my favorite ice-cream parlor when its open... I won't be able to go to school anymore... I won't be able to take cheerful walks throughout the city...
I let out a sad sigh.
"Don't worry about it, your dayheart will be completed in a couple fortnights, then you be able go out and enjoy life like you used to..."
"Yeah..." I mutter. "But what happens if this 'dayheart' is broken?"
"Well, you wont be able to go outside without turning to dust once more, at least until we manage to craft another one for you."
"Will my entire life be like this?" I ask.
"Mn..." Sean's mother pauses to think for a moment. "No... eventually you will become a vampire lord like myself, Sean and Emilia and you will be able to go where you please, but, as you are a ' reincarnated vampire', you probably won't be able to progress into a vampire lord for a couple decades, maybe a century or two at most."
"That's... so long." I whisper.
"Hn? It might be for a human, but you should easily be able to live several times that provided you don't take any risks." She hums. "Do you want to know something my childe?"
"S-Sure?"
"Now, this is a secret between women so you can't tell anyone about it, but... I am nearing six millennia."
"What?" I ask in a meek and low tone.
"I am getting quite close to six thousand years old... however most of it was spent on this little island." She hums.
"H-How can you be... so... so old?!" I ask.
"Hn, well, that is a rude way of putting it, but our race is ageless after a certain point, you, like Sean and Emilia, will reach maturity and just simply... stop... forever. You will have no qualms with the sand of time, as the only way for a vampire to die... is for them to be killed."
"…"
"Or the sun... the sun works for younger vampires." She quickly corrects, only to stop for a moment. "But I suppose that does tie into the whole 'being killed' thing, so my first point still stands."
We pause in front of a door which Cassandra opens revealing a simple stone room with almost nothing in it, it is fairly large all things considered and has a vibrant chandelier at the top of the room casing dull light of many colors throughout.
"This one doesn't have a bed yet, but what do you think of this room?"
"I... like it." I slowly mutter. "This one is fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." I nod.
"Hn, that's nice, it is right next to Sean's room as well..." The woman mutters. "But you will probably need to sleep in there at least until he wakes up because I fear that he might react violently if you aren't anywhere in his vicinity when he regains consciousness... but after that, we will move you in here and spruce up the place a little more, maybe grab you a couple paintings or pictures..."
I look up to the woman. "S-Sean would react violently if I am not there?! Why?"
"Oh, well, simply all he will most likely remember is you getting stabbed, and then himself getting stabbed, and if you aren't there he may be overwhelmed with dread and rage at wondering 'what exactly happened to the girl I loved? is she dead? does she hate me? Or worse?' And well... he might cleave through a few walls if those thoughts force him to transform one more... and collateral damage is... annoying." She hums. "and gods know that we have had enough of it~ you should have seen him when he learned the fireball spell... that was... chaotic..."
"S-Spell?!"
"Magic is real, and you will be learning it shortly." The woman states. "Sean almost died because you got hurt... if that spear of light had been even a centimeter more to the right, it would have completely destroyed and charred his heart... permanently killing him... and to prevent that, I am going to make you magically adept so he won't have to worry about you anymore in a fight."
"Mnn." I let out a quiet whimper as I look to the ground. "I-I didn't want him to get h-hurt..."
"And I know that, dear, it doesn't mean that I won't prepare you for that situation once more." The woman says as she gently pats my shoulder. "Come on, let's get you back to Sean's room, you probably wish to work things out with Emilia, yes?"
"M-Mhm..." I slowly nod as we take a short walk out of 'my' room and walk to the one just to the right.
I quietly open the door and step in, to see Emilia sitting calmly at the foot of Sean's bet in a simple wooden chair, hands folded simply in her lap as she stares at the sleeping Sean with a blank and slightly sad expression.
"I will leave the two of you alone." Cassandra hums as she turns and walks out of the room, announcing my presence to Emilia who looks over her shoulder and looks guiltily down at the ground.
"Hey... Neo..." She whispers as she slowly looks over to Sean once more. "I just wanted to let you know, that I am sorry..."
"It's... fine." I sigh as I walk over to my bed and sit on it. "I did say that I wanted to live longer... so if I am going to blame anyone, I am going to blame myself."
"Mn..." She quietly grunts. "Honestly... I normally wouldn't care about the fact you were turned, the pros outweigh the cons, you live longer, and you are stronger, but... Sean does... Sean absolutely cares and... that makes me start to care."
"He was perfectly fine with you staying just the way you were and... now he might blame himself for the fact he wasn't able to protect you."
"That makes me blame myself, because I am older than him... I should have been able to sense that fallen angel, and I could have stopped it... but I allowed myself to let my guard down and now you-"
"Emilia. Stop." I command. "You couldn't have known... it's not your fault, it's not Sean's fault, and it isn't my fault... no one in this room decided it was a good idea to attack us, so if you are going to blame anyone, blame that man who stabbed me."
"Mn..." She grunts as she reaches out and gently pets Sean's head. "You know... Sean and I are actually engaged, right?"
I instantly blush as I think back to some of my last moments as a human. "R-Really? Aren't you both a-a bit... young for that?"
"Hn... yeah, probably, but there are only like twelve pure blooded vampires left, so all my life, I have been told that I should try my best to expand our bloodlines by even one member. I never really understood and thought everyone was insane and that the world hates me, and I was even considering the option to just get everyone to shut up about it, but... then I met Sean and... what right do I have to irreversibly taint someone like him? But... every time I am near him, he does something adorable... or something ridiculously cool and... it makes me consider my options again... *Sigh* Then you kissed him and I really don't know what to do now, should I try to progress our relationship from best friends to something... more... or should I just pretend that nothing happened and allow him to keep his innocence for a couple more years?"
"O-Oh I-I am so sorry! I-I uh- thought that I was going to die and- I- uh- didn't know he was engaged to you- and I-I just sort of wanted to get some feelings off my chest before I died and p-please forgive me!" I quickly stutter out.
"No, it's fine... I can understand that, but he nearly died as well, so it makes me wonder... 'should I confess my feelings as well'?"
"I-I'm so sorry! I will stop pursuing S-sean if it makes you feel... better." I sigh out.
"No, you will not." Emilia says. "He loves you as well, he just doesn't know how to express it... he probably loves you even more than me... so... I should be the one to stop pursuing him... please protect this fucking idiot for me, okay?"
"W-Wait! I-I can't do that to you! You had feelings for him first, I-I don't want to cripple your relationship like that!"
"So, what do we do then?" Emilia scoff. "Share him?"
I freeze my face becoming cherry red. "…"
"Hn... you know, I meant that as a joke... but it... hmmm..." Emilia slowly mutters. "It sounds like a fairly good solution."
She cups her chin. "And Cassandra most likely won't care considering that she was the one to actually reanimate you... and with two girls instead of one... that's twice as many grandchildren and that's literally all she appears to care about with our relationship... well, beside keeping Sean's innocence, but those are two contradicting statements so I honestly don't know what she is expecting."
She turns and points at me. "Alright then, let's work out some rules, then."
I rub the back of my head and look towards the wall. 'and thus, my life has become interesting... I wonder what mom and dad would think about me competing for a boy younger than me who probably doesn't even know what a kiss is?'
(Pov: Sean)
I wince and slowly open my eyes
'ugh... my head is pounding... what even happ- NEO!'
I shoot up out of the bed, sending the blanket flying off across the room as my wings extend from my back and I float about a foot over the bed.
'where is she.'
I turn my head, rapidly looking around the room. 'I'm home, but where is NEO?!'
'WHERE IS SHE?!'
The room darkens, shadows along the walls writhing and beginning to reach out towards me.
I abruptly stop as I see a second bed in the room, a pink and brown haired form slowly sitting up and rubbing her eyes with the side of her hand.
"N-NEO!" I exclaim.
"Hm? Wh-aguh-" she is tackled by a flying hug.
"S-Sean!?" She asks as she finally gets her bearings on what is actually happening. "You are awake?! That's great!"
She seems to realize our closeness and her face flushes red, and now I can hear something I couldn't hear before.
*Thump Thump Thump Thump*
"I- W-W- N-Neo..." I whisper. "Y-Your heart wasn't beating a second ago..."
"yeah, it wasn't." She lets out a sigh with a small smile as she reaches up and pats the back of my head. "I guess I'm, just like you now~"
"Y-You know- no... of course you know... you are here after all." I sigh as I quickly distance myself from her.
I wordlessly hop onto my bed, bringing my knees up to my chest and folding my wings around me like a cocoon. "Mnnn."
"What are you... doing?" Neo slowly asks.
"Mnnnnnnn."
"S-Sean?"
"I-Im... sorry..." I whisper. "I kept a big secret about myself and now you hate me, don't you?"
"What?! No! I don't hate you!" Neo exclaims as she quickly gets up and sits beside me.
"B-But because I wasn't prepared for anything... you died." I mutter.
"I'm still here, aren't I? You have been unconscious for about a month, and, well, I have come to terms with my new... non-human-ness... and I don't blame you for it, the person I DO blame is already dead... you did what you felt was right and avenged me, overall, I would say you did good enough... I am happy with my unlife... I have a family now, and, well, it is sort of something I have wanted for years."
She stares at the wall for a moment, seemingly looking even beyond it. "And recently I have found a couple benefits I don't think I could live without any more~"
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"Regeneration is... awesome." She whispers.
"Okay? Yeah? It's pretty neat." I mutter confusedly.
"Your mother, June, and Emilia respect humans a little more now." She hums.
"Oh my god. You met my mother and June." I hiss.
"Yeah, and?" She asks. "They are both wonderful people... and June only messes with me sometimes..."
"Mnnn." I let out a small growl as I cover my head with my hands. "They are just... so embarrassing sometimes..."
"Well, there's actually something I sort of want to talk about..." She murmurs as she reaches out and pats my lower back, staying clear of my wings. "I-I uh... well..."
"Hn... wow this is hard to say..." She takes a deep breath. "B-But Sean... I... uh... like you a lot and well, I don't really know how this would work, but... I think I love you?"
"…"
"Y-you feel the same way?" I whisper.
"M-Mhm." She nods. "Y-Your mother and sister told me that you felt the same way, but it is kind of relieving to hear it from your mouth."
"B-But what does loving someone actually mean?" I mutter.
"Well, it's quite simple, Sean." Neo laughs. "Put your wings away for a second."
My wings retreat back into my body as she scoots over closer to me.
Then she grabs my wrist and moves my arm around her shoulders and leans her head on mine.
"you do this." Neo mutters as she closes her eyes.
"o...kay?"
We stay like that for about a minute in silence, before Neo speaks up again.
"This is nice..." She sighs.
"It is... isn't it?" I quietly mutter, the thought of her being safe and not horrified with me finally processing.
A small smile passes over my face as I glance at her to see that she has her eyes closed and is smiling, as if she were asleep.
Pov: ?
A tall man with bright red windswept hair looks down at a map with several pins imbedded into it. "Hn... maybe if we can expand to the east we can-"
"S-SIR!" A servant quickly rushes into the room, the door slamming against the doorstop on the wall as it is forced open.
"Hn, this better be important." The man grunts as he looks up, revealing his purple eyes.
The servant pants for a moment to get his breath back then simply says. "A-A vampire has been spotted in Vale, sir."
"A vampire?" The man mutters. "Haven't they gone extinct? Are you sure it was an ACTUAL vampire and not a dhampir with vampire ancestry?"
"S-Sir it wasn't just a vampire... it was vampires... plural... in the sunlight."
"Vampire lords?" The man whispers as he frowns and looks back down at the map. "Hmmm..."
"Maybe..." He mutters quietly. "Hn... I haven't ever seen a vampire in person before... only stories of them... they disappeared around two thousand years before I was born, yes?"
He smiles and whispers. "Yes, this is indeed an opportunity!"
He gets up and walks around the table. "Well, I am off to go see a near extinct race... I might not have a chance like this again~ and you, can you please tell my son that we are going out?"
"Y-Yes sir!"
"This should be entertaining~" the man hums as he wordlessly leaves the room. "A good break from the war~"
Hi~ it is I, and let me just say, I will have like no time to work on my fics this week as I will probably come down with a serious case of sword-and-shield-itus... horrid disease, really, but hey, it is probably going to happen~
Also, this second bit is written just a bit later than the first part of this AN, but I have been actually legitimately horribly sick this week, so I haven't been able to write much at all, so that's just swell... if I don't post for like 2 months, I'm dead~ buuut I seem to be slightly better as I can actually lift my head up from my bed without feeling like the room is pulling a barrel roll, so that's great~ my time has also been eaten by another new story I am working on, and let me just say: WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THIS HELLSIGHT?! I GET AN IDEA FOR A D&D BASED RWBY GAMERFIC, SOUNDS COOL, RIGHT? NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE HUH? AND WHILE I AM WORKING ON THE FIRST *DAMN* CHAPTER, NOT ONE BUT TWO RWBY D&D BASED RWBY GAMERFICS POP UP! I AM SO SALTED! *Maybe me being sick was just psychic fanfiction writers invading my brain and stealing my ideas... huh... they should probably stop harassing me and just get a hobby because I always just feel absent minded now, like my consciousness is being forced to the back of my head and I am nearing third person*... Annnyways, that has been my week, next week is a new chapter Dxd: A Bizarre Adventure, which I am trying to finish now, so, toodles~
