Selene was staring at the giant door, with a large, heavy log holding it closed. She tried to lift the log but failed horribly. She stared at it for a while, and then she had an idea. She took out her pistols and started shooting the log, she kept shooting until it gave away and fell apart.
She pushed the doors open, and what she saw was something she had seen things like before, but this was infinitely times more, brilliant, horrifying and all sorts of things that should never be combined.
Of everything Ryan had told her in his long tale, he never actually mentioned what The Ultimate Vampire Treasure was, but now she knew.
The Treasure was, a creature. Its mere presence scared the shit out of Selene. It was part way between the shrivelled husks that lay dormant in Viktor's mansion and a person, it had some flesh but it was all red, its teeth were not blocked by any flesh and two large teeth could be seen extending down. Its eyes would be considered beautiful, but rotting flesh surrounded them.
"Ryan's had you here all along? Even when he helped me search for The Original."
The thing gave a tiny nod.
"Are you what I'm looking for?"
It gave another nod.
"Who's that upstairs?"
The creature raised an arm and ushered her towards it. She slowly moved towards it, somewhat petrified.
As she got closer she realised what was happening, it was going to bite her, she learn everything about Vampires and it would be restored.
She would have the information she wanted, yet now that she was about to know everything she wanted to know she realised that her life had no mission, and in that instant it was like an explosion in her mind, she had returned to the dark brooding Selene she had been back in America.
As she approached the thing slowly pushed itself off the throne it sat on.
Once she came into reaching distance of the creature it laid its hands on her shoulders and pulled her closer, she could easily have thrown it off her if she wanted to but she didn't.
It sank its teeth into her neck and began to feed. She closed her eyes as memories flashed into her mind, she saw ancient Egypt, a beautiful king, armies being thrown aside like insects by this king, oceans moving for him, people worshipping him. Then she saw him feed on someone, someone that survived…it was that other thing upstairs.
She fell backwards, nearly completely drained of blood. She looked up and saw the creature, it had been almost completely restored, and it was the beautiful king…long blonde hair, brilliant blue eyes, strong cheekbones, still partially rotted.
"Thank you, child. I shall return soon with blood for you."
She lay there for what seemed like years and years and years. She was going over all this new knowledge, these new memories.
She saw the various people who had protected him in his years of hibernation, which eventually led to Ryan, and finally Ryan waking him up.
He returned after awhile and forced a neck to Selenes teeth. She quickly started to drink, and after a few moments she felt her strength come shooting back.
She stood and found that The Original was about two metres tall.
"Aren't you a big one?"
He gave a nod. He had obviously fed recently as he was completely restored.
"Well do you have a name, or should I just call you Original?"
He gave a nod.
"I am who you would call Anubis."
"The Egyptian god?"
"The one and the same little girl."
"But you are just a Vampire? How can you be a God?"
"Just a Vampire? I am what you would call a hybrid, but I am far superior to Michael, the hybrid with bashed ribs upstairs, Anub'Arak has basically destroyed everything outside this tomb."
"We must stop Anub'Arak, are you strong enough?"
"Not yet, I must feed more, my body is restored but my power shall take much more blood to restore."
"But if you want to leave this complex you can Anub'Arak is gone."
"That's good, I suppose."
"What's good about it, he can feed on this country, make him self stronger."
"Well I can't stop him."
"I shall get my power restored, then he shall die."
With that Anubis ran off, his image seemed to be dragged by along, like something from a Hollywood movie.
Selene slowly walked up the stairs. As she got to the entrance she saw a hole in the wall across from door. Someone had been thrown into the wall and the force he hit it with was enough to break solid rock.
The legs were dangling out a little and Selene recognised the shoes.
"Michael." She ran over, dragged him out and he left out a moan.
"Jesus, Selene. He's like nothing I've seen before. Ryan was nearly killed. Then I shot the bastard, got him in the shoulder, Anub went running but not before throwing me in there."
"We better get out of here, its not safe." She heard something moving behind her.
It was Ryan, limping towards her.
"Selene, we shall retreat to my castle, we shall be safe there…for now."
The three made there way to Ryan's castle.
