D took his horse swiftly down the road to make up for any lost time. Thoughts of the mission went through his mind. Thoughts of fighting something more powerful than an elder vampire. D was a vampire hunter. He's had skill and knowledge to stop them but with this Sphinx creature he had no idea of how to stop it. Thoughts of a another Vampeal. During the hunt for Miran Link he was afraid of another Vampeal coming into the world and yet it has happened. From what he's heard they have tried to raise Marianna as a human but now with Delron taking her, Marianna's life is in for a few changes. His mind was so full he couldn't think straight.
"Need some help sraightening out your thoughts D?" a gruff voice called for from his hand. "I've never known you to be this worried. Usually you're pretty calm." The voice came from a parisite D acquired long ago. The Parasite is kind of D's friend who has helped him in many fights and freed him from many dark spells.
"I usually know what I'm up against."
"I think there is more than your letting on."
"Enough, we have a mission to accomplish."
"Thats right hide your feelings in your mission. It's what you've always done."
"I said thats enough."
D came to fork in the road. D looked down both wondering which way they could have gone. The ground was still wet from the heavy rainstorm a couple of nights ago. D looked carfully down the left path then down the right. D notices the chariot wheel marks going down the left road. D rides quickly down the left road knowing he's not to far from Delron's chariot.
Delron was in his carrage looking at Marianna's trembling body, the candle at her side. Such a beautiful bride Delron thought as he brushed the hair out of her face. With our powers combined in our child, it will be unstoppable. The after gaining the power of the Sphinx, Delron thirsted for more power. He eventually realized that he could raise a child of limitless power. Since elder vampires had such strenght he decide to find one or its offspring. With the help of Shade (the black mutant) he found Cardia's daughter Marianna. And to prove his power Delron warned Arron and Cardia ahead of time. Everything went according to Delron's plan. Marianna's parents foolishly tried to stop him from claiming his bride. For ther insolence Cardia met her end and Arron is left grieving for what short time he's got.
"Delron we're being followed." Shade calls.
Delron turned to see a rider in black clothing, his black cape flowing in the air. His eyes glowed blue looking at the rider's determined face. A bounty hunter, Delron thought angrily. After all I did at the castle, Arron still thinks he can get his daughter back. I killed his wife, humiliated him,took his daughter, and he insults me with his hope and this bounty hunter.
Delron turns to Shade,"Eliminate him."
Delron closes the carriage curtains as Shade removes his cloak for battle. D leaps off the horse and draws his sword aiming it at Shade. Shade whips his sword out and blocks. The two duel carefully on top of the carriage dodging their opponents blades and the branches of the trees. The commotion on the carriage causes the horses to go wild, making the battle harder. D tries to think of a way to remove this obstacle before Delron decides to help. Looking past his opponent D spots a large branch coming at the two warriors. Inspired D moves to the left throwing his cape in front of Shade then moves forward blinding him. Shade furiously cuts D's cape only to see the branch making contact with his head and throwing him off the carriage. D jumps to side of the carriage and opens the door only to feel his body stiffen from a familar scent. With the last of his strength D latches his hands on the side of the carriage entrance.
Delron looks at D eyes glowing blue. "So another Vampeal. Its no wonder Shade didn't kill you. Tell me did you kill Shade?"
D remained silent refusing to answer.
"I know you can talk. Now answer me did you kill Shade."
"No." D replied fiercely.
"Thank you," Delron said focusing his eyes on D, "And farwell." Two beams came out of Delrons eyes, knocking D out of the carriage and causing him to collide into a tree.
With great speed Shade eventually reaches the carriage and regains control of the horses.
"Welcome back Shade."
"Thank you Master."
The carriage rides on leaving D's injured body behind.
