Chapter 21:

-Bitter Sweet Defeat-

"Where were you, Taylor? You look dreadful." giggled amusing from her sofa. Taylor beat the hood to the back and swore in his old language more Dianira, that was spoken no more or only rarely today and this made Dianira only laughing. She got up and approached him, bewitched him and touched seductively his neck with her long fingernails and began to massage him. He hated it if she did this. They were already for some centuries together and they experienced already much. From time to time they split up their so-called kingdoms of darkness and spent longer times separated from each other. Also like Viktor, Markus and Amelia, also they had daylight guardians, but they never had any problems, however they heard about Lucian, the rebel under the Lycans.

"I could find Michael and had surprised him and his so beloved companions."

"And... were you successful?"

"We lost approximately half of the men, which I had at the disposal. And more than the half this hybrid killed them so simply. if this fucking descendant of Michael wouldn't have hindered me at it, then, I had pulled out the guts of this beast the and finished him as I had the chance."

"What happened?"

„ He went crazy and if I had remained, it would be over... damn it."

"You're not better than Kraven... you simply run and crawl away." she provoked him easily.

"I don't run away, is that clear... not if I have a good reason... "

"And that would be?"

"Now, I know his strengths and how he acts. We must separate them... only so we can kill him. Kraven should gets to work on Erika and his sister and you take over this other vampiress, who's seems to be his companion. I will take care of his son and afterwards even about him."

"My sister and the Elder would be proud of you. It's a disgrace that you didn't serve them; probably they would be still alive, with your clever tactics. I'm still wondering, how Viktor could trust Kraven."

"Yes, a disgrace, because I would have never let it come that far and killed this Michael already from the beginning, but you know how very much I hate regent. This eternal 'who is the most powerful' or 'this one is to blame for the matter' fuss, this makes me sick. Not even Viktor knew from my existence. Markus had to be silent or he knew his fate."
