The purpose part 15 Danyck
Chapter 48
Danyck stood in front of the magical barrier. He had warned his family he would no longer be there, and he did not know for how long or what would happen after this day. He had told them about his desire to be a vampire and how their prince was now waiting for him tonight. After being hugged for it seemed like hours, he finally was going to see him. He had gone through the barrier so many times before but now he knew he probably would not be able to, depending on what was Seth's true intentions. He went through it and made his way to the dormitories. His heart was pounding against his chest and even more when he saw the dark lord and his snake exchanging words with Seth by his bedroom door. He stayed in the shadows behind a wall corner, waiting for the dark wizard to leave.
*A muggle is listening behind the wall.* Hissed Nagini.
*He's not, I was waiting for him and he simply didn't want to interrupt us.* Hissed Seth.
*Waiting for him?* Asked Voldemort.
Seth sighed. *Yes, I need to speak with him for something. Now if we are done, I'll tell him to come now.* Said Seth.
*Come Nagini.* Hissed Voldemort as he went away.
Danyck went into Seth's bedroom and Seth closed the door behind him. Mikael was standing beside the mirror, arms crossed.
*You were right, I didn't mean to listen to your conversation.* Said Danyck.
Seth raised his eyebrows in surprise.
*What? You understood that?* Asked Seth.
Danyck had an apologizing look.
*Sorry, no, I mean, I only heard you say you did not want me to interrupt, which I did not, and did not hear anything, I had just arrived.* Tried to explain Danyck. That's not what Seth meant. Had he understood parseltongue?
*That's not what I meant, you actually can understand these words?* Hissed Seth in Parseltongue.
Danyck frowned and looked at Mikael who looked confused.
*I'm… I'm I not supposed to?* Asked Danyck and Seth chuckled.
So, that's the weird feeling he had sensed from Danyck this morning. He can understand animals and that's probably why he always took care of the horses.
*No, can you speak to animals, Danyck?* Said Seth normally.
*Well, I… uh, maybe. I never had any problems with the horses, they seemed to always obey my commands without fail. People said I have a gift… Each time they were hurt, I could tell exactly what was wrong and never thought twice about I knew… I just… knew.* Said Danyck.
*Interesting. Now, the dark lord wants me to do something. He wants me to rally giants from White Peak, in France. The problem is, I want to show you what the magical world really is before I'd sire you, since if I did, I want you to be in this war we are having against… wizards, preventing us from taking over… everything. Do you understand how serious this is?* Said Seth.
Mikael and Danyck swallowed and were now trying to process what he had just said.
*I'm sorry, I stopped thinking when you said Giants. Then you speak about war… I thought, I thought we were already in peace.*Said Danyck quietly.
If he brought Danyck with him, he would be extremely vulnerable to everything. The cold, the spells, the magic and mere exhaustion of a normal human being. Seth had wanted to sire someone for a while, since a mind link would greatly benefit the war and knowing what would happen in different places while not being physically there. Just like the king always knew what was going on through Steven and some leaders. He could wait, but at the same time, thought it was now or never.
*We are not, Danyck. Giants are humanoids around twenty-five feet tall. They would greatly help us take over cities. You are not here to become a vampire and simply live about in a castle where everything would get served on a platter. That is not what I'm asking of you. I am offering a way of life with me, which is bigger than anything you can imagine. Muggles in the real world outside of this island are insignificant and should worship the wizards that we are. They destroy this planet and pollute the air. Their minds are poison only made to destroy each other and use nuclear weapons to their own greed and needs. We live in secrecy because they are scared of us, scared of what magic could do. Muggle-born wizards are a threat too, somewhat dimmer. We don't want to live like that! I want freedom to be anywhere we want to, not only staying on this island, or in the magical world. We are slowly getting there, but it is not enough. Some wizards don't want us to do that and are fighting against us.* Said Seth who was now looking outside, standing in front of the window.
Danyck was slowly starting to comprehend the extent of Seth's words.
*You… you mean slavery.* Said Danyck quietly.
Mikael was getting uncomfortable, and both their hearts were now accelerating. Seth smelled their fear and the air seemed heavier.
*Mikael, you don't have to fear me, you always will be protected here as any muggles on this island and have I ever given you a reason of the contrary?* Asked Seth.
Mikael took a deep breath and shook his head.
*No, you are right. I'm sorry to have let my emotions get the better of me.* Said Mikael.
Seth went to Danyck who stepped back at his approach and his back hit the wall. Seth passed his fingers in Danyck's hair, then caressed his cheek.
*I am offering you power, a link with me, to be beyond a simple… human. Do you really fear me, Danyck?* Said Seth as he grabbed Danyck's chin and stared in his eyes.
Hesitation… doubt… admiration… curiosity. He felt Danyck's emotions pass through his eyes. He waited a moment, to see the opening in his mind where he would submit completely to him. Seth's eyes turned to black as soon as he felt Danyck's determination and plunged his teeth in his neck. Danyck gasped in surprise and grabbed Seth's back, digging his fingers. He let out a moan despise of himself, as it was very pleasurable. Seth deepened his bite, wanting to hear that heartbeat slow down. When it did, he passed his tongue on the wound then licked his lips in delight. Danyck was limp in his arms.
*There's something to you, Danyck, because your blood is not like any muggle.* Whispered Seth in parseltongue.
He bit on his tongue, cutting it harshly and as he felt the blood filling his mouth, he kissed Danyck and let it all pour down his throat. Danyck began to swallow, slowly regaining consciousness and grabbing Seth's head, pulling him closer, wanting more. Seth felt his essence going into him and the mind link pending in his mind. For the first time, he accepted it and stopped the kiss as Danyck opened emerald eyes, not the usual icy blue eyes of the vampires. A storm of feelings and thoughts erupted in his mind mixed with those of Danyck. Something powerful emanated from him and Seth stepped back and looked at Mikael.
*Feed him, Mikael.* Ordered Seth as Danyck could now hear the heartbeats of Seth and Mikael, hearing the blood rushing through their veins.
Mikael stood beside Danyck and placed his wrist right in front on his mouth. Danyck grabbed the wrist and took time to smell it and pass his tongue on it before biting into the flesh and gulping Mikael's blood lovingly. Seth closed his eyes for a moment, he could feel Danyck's new hunger subsiding. The smelling and tongue flicking was Seth's thing, did he get mixed up in his mind? Was he affecting deeply his childe like that? He sat on the bed and observed him. He could hear multiple questions in his mind coming from Danyck but as he fed, he got answers directly from Seth's mind. He even stopped feeding off Mikael without him telling to. He licked the wound on the wrist to heal it.
*Thank you, Mikael.* Said Danyck.
Mikael looked at Seth then again at Danyck and bowed before he left the room. Danyck approached Seth, having again questions, and getting silent answers. He felt him wanting his Sire's blood again.
*No. Control your pulses.* Said Seth.
Danyck stopped coming to him and blinked several times.
*Sorry. Your… your thoughts, they are overwhelming. Who… who is Yaxley?* Asked Danyck.
Seth stood up and tried to block his mind, using his occlumency. Danyck now had a dazed look and placed his hands on his head. Seth placed a hand on Danyck's head.
*Some things are going to stay private, Danyck. You will take my parent's bedroom for the night. You will come with me and Yaxley tomorrow… a long journey awaits. If… you get hungry again, just call for servants, that's what they are there for. I have to go to London, so come to think of it, come with me.* Said Seth as he took a cloak to hide his tail and he went to the living room, Danyck behind him.
Danyck placed a hand on him and they apparated in knockturn alley. When they appeared, Danyck vomited on the floor and Seth chuckled as he cleaned the mess with a swish of his wand.
*First time apparating, right?* Said Seth and Danyck nodded, pale as a ghost.
Seth went out the floo network and apparition building and began to walk towards diagon alley. The night was warm, and a clear sky showed the stars over them. Seth stopped walking and turned to Danyck, before realizing he should bring down his mental defenses to talk to him, but then did not know how to control that yet. For now, it all seemed like all or nothing so he decided to speak up instead.
*Danyck, you have been here before with Darthael then?* Asked Seth and Danyck nodded.
*Good.* Said Seth.
They entered Gringotts and Danyck went closer to Seth as he saw the goblins. No, Darthael never brought him in this bank.
*Lurvek!* Said Seth and the named goblin lifted his head from his papers and was startled at the prince's presence.
*Prince Vulken. How… How may I help you at this late hour?* Said Lurvek. The mention of his name brought the attention of the other goblins.
*I need to go in my family vault, not my personal one.* Said Seth.
The goblin now looked even more nervous.
*I'm afraid I have to ask you… the first password, before I bring you there.* Asked Lurvek.
*Nos an I er.* Said Seth in Venthyr.
Danyck went wide eyed, he understood what Seth had said. Family for the one. The goblin bowed and showed them the way. That vault was not in the caverns, it was the one at the back of the first floor with a massive golden door and permanent goblin guards. Lurvek turned to Seth and bowed again.
*I will need the second password and your wand.* Said Lurvek as Seth removed his wand from his sleeve.
*Aran coe erain.* Said Seth as he gave his wand to the goblin. Ancients of blood.
Lurvek passed Seth's wand in front of the massive door all the way from left to right, then the goblin passed his hand in front from right to left. He gave back Seth's wand to him and stepped back. The vault reacted differently for each royal member and for Seth, they had to use his wand. It was even a secret to him as to what the goblins used for his parents if they needed access to this vault. The massive door was doing mechanical sounds as it was slowly opening all locks and disabling curses for intruders. The inside of the vault was gigantic. Seth stepped in it feeling the wards of the vault going through him. Danyck slowly followed him and was reassured mentally by Seth for he had nothing to fear since he was a vampire. From gold, to diamonds, to jewelry, weapons, artifacts, or books, it looked like everything precious could be found in this vault. Seth went to look at the weapons and took a goblin made axe big enough for a giant. He suspected it had been used before by one. He found a staff he would use for an eternal flame and a pair of dragon skin gloves. He knew he would make a leather blanket with the mountain animals when they got there. So that was four gifts for the giants, it should be enough. Before he left, he eyed two beautiful golden crowns made like vines and leaves resting on red and gold cushions. A flash of himself wearing a crown and the vampires kneeling in front of him passed through his mind. The locket on his chest pulsed.
*Power…* Whispered Voldemort's voice in his mind as his brushed a crown with the tip of his fingers.
He had no rights to wear one... yet. The vampires had royalty embedded on their hearts. They obeyed only the king and queen, no matter their opinions or beliefs. For someone to wear the crown without passing through the current king's submission or death, would result in a complete denial and attempted murder on the imposter. Even if Seth knew no one could defeat him, he loved his parents dearly and they already let him do everything he wanted. He knew his day would come soon enough.
*They are so beautiful, why aren't they on the king's head?* Asked Danyck.
*Because these are goblin made and magical, no one ever have had the right to wear these yet. My parents wear golden ones with sapphires and rubies, passed down from king to king and queen to queen. It is briefly mentioned in the history book about these crowns, but they could hold authority over goblins and wizards. It is only a legend, after all.* Said Seth as he removed his fingers and left the vault with the gifts.
The goblins closed the vault placing back the wards and protection over it again. Seth thanked the goblins and left the bank. He would look pretty intimidating with the things he held in his arms so he would not linger. Danyck reluctantly place a hand on Seth's shoulder and he apparated again. Danyck immediately placed a hand over his mouth trying to hold it in as they appeared in the living room.
*I definitely prefer the boat rides.* Said Danyck, feeling nauseous.
Rodolphus was sitting in the sofa and stood up as he saw Seth.
*What do you want?* Said Seth coldly.
Rodolphus eyed the items in Seth's arms who placed them on the floor carefully.
*I see you are prepared. I wanted to ask you if I could come with you tomorrow.* Said Rodolphus and Seth chuckled.
*No. Yaxley probably said he was coming… and…*Began Seth but was interrupted by Rodolphus.
*Why would that matter? This is going to take weeks and surely it does not matter the number we are?* Said Rodolphus.
Seth eyes seemed to shine brighter as he made a malicious laugh and slowly walked to him.
*Weeks? Because you think I would walk there? Don't tell me I can't fly, I know I can't with the weather up there. I have other means… and… hmm.* Said Seth who looked at Danyck.
Would Corban be enough for Danyck and himself as blood supplier… perhaps not. Seth looked again at Rodolphus and felt something coming from him he tried to hide. He approached him and caressed his cheek and smelled his neck, making him shiver. He recognized Lazarus's smell on him.
*So, how did your sweet brother react to Lazarus passing his tongue on you? I'm sure he pushed you away, did he not? Did you know he wants this just as bad as you… but tries to hide it.* Whispered Seth as he was now passing his hand through Rodolphus's hair. The deatheaters all wanted to feel power, no matter the source. To feel what the dark lord could feel. Some had figured it out, some had made deductions while others wondered about the relation between him and Voldemort.
*Please… I won't disappoint you… or the dark lord.* Begged Rodolphus.
God, how he loved the begging, knowing it only made their blood sweeter. He closed his hand in his hair, pulling his head backwards, exposing his neck.
*Even if you only serve as a food source, you still want to come?*Said Seth and growled as he looked at the throbbing vein on his neck.
Rodolphus's heartbeat accelerated and Danyck was fighting against his instincts echoing Seth's thoughts. New vampires always had that terrible hard time to control their need to feed and not killing their victims. Seth backed away, calming his childe behind him. Rodolphus replaced his shirt and nodded at Seth.
*We shall see then… tomorrow before noon, just be here. From what I smelled on you, Darthael invited Yaxley for a party night, yes?* Said Seth and Rodolphus nodded again.
Seth took the gifts for the giants and left the living room, Danyck behind him. He wanted to get magical supplies for their trip, so he went to the supply room. The castle was so silent in the night. Very few servants roamed the corridors, bowing as their prince passed beside them. The supply room was right beside the muggle ward because it needed to be accessible by vampires too. It had bandages, minor potions, bags, diapers, covers, brooms, cleaning, and hygiene products. There even was muggle medicine which had been barely used because potions were better. Each thing was labeled and well organized. The inventory was made every month for the next boat arrival. Seth took a bag and enchanted it so it had an incredible space in it and placed the gloves and the staff but not the axe for he knew he could not conceal it. He also took two wizard tents and went to the pharmacy within the supply room that had the blood replenishing potion and he took a dozen flasks. He took two covers he would probably enlarge for them to mount him. They should not need anything else. Danyck followed Seth's thoughts and got suddenly confused.
*Mount you?* Asked Danyck.
*I can be a giant wolf Danyck. You took care of horses, you think instead of a saddle, covers would work?* Asked Seth.
Danyck looked at Seth bewildered.
*Uh… What? Umm… the covers could slide off, you need like a rubber underneath the cover to… uh, protect the fur and prevent the sliding. That's without saddles. A giant wolf?* Said Danyck, still not believing what he heard.
Seth did not say a word and went to the stables. He spotted the rubber Danyck had spoken about and placed it in his bag. Danyck looked at him and starting to realizing this was going to be real.
*On what are we going to hold on to… if we aren't using reins or saddles, the first person at the front needs to hold onto something. Mountains are probably very steep at certain places, you are going to jump, run and climb… right?* Asked Danyck.
Seth didn't want him to be right and sighed.
*A modified saddle then, for three.* Said Seth as he looked at the saddles.
He pointed his wand at one and modified it. It got bigger and made it for 3 persons as he duplicated the seats, straps, and stirrups twice. He then shrunk it again to place it in the bag. He knew they would use thestrals in Ireland, more specifically near Dublin. When he went there in the vampire war, he saw a herd of them in Wicklow mountains national park. They were the closest to his island and shortest distance to fly to white peak mountain, without muggles or wizards seeing them.
*Thestrals?* Asked Danyck.
Seth now wondered if he would see them.
*Winged skeletal horses, as to describe them. Only people who have seen death can see them. Perhaps you will be able to see them, or not, in that case I will place you in front of me as we ride them.* Said Seth as they were now returning to the castle.
*I did… I mean… Darthael killed a tramp in London once, out of misery, really.* Said Danyck.
But Seth knew otherwise.
*You really think that now. Anyhow, he tried to respect your human side by making you think that.*Said Seth and Danyck stayed silent.
They were now in the dormitories and Seth saw Voldemort closing Seth's bedroom door. He turned to Danyck.
*Go in the king's bedroom, like I told you, I'll see you in the morning.* Said Seth and Danyck nodded and passed beside the dark lord who eyed him curiously.
Seth entered his bedroom and placed the axe and bag on the floor. Voldemort closed the door behind him.
*Who was that? The king's bedroom, really?* Asked Voldemort.
Seth removed his clothes and placed his wand and wand holster on his dresser. His purple mark on his shoulder shone brightly.
*His name is Danyck. I just sired him something like two hours ago. He is coming with me to get the giants tomorrow. Yaxley and Rodolphus are coming too.* Said Seth as he slid inside his bed covers.
*How long do you think it is going to take you? How long are you going to be away from me?* Said Voldemort who also removed his clothes and went in the bed, underneath the covers and over Seth.
*As if it mattered to you, you want blood again, I know it, I feel it every time you look at me.* Said Seth and Voldemort shut his mouth by kissing him, then bit his lip.
Seth winced as Voldemort took his blood. The dark lord's heart accelerated and his eyes dilated. He rubbed his body on Seth feeling aroused.
*You are mine, I take what I want from you, I know you crave my blood too.* Hissed Voldemort in parseltongue.
Seth had difficulty keeping his occlumency shields because of the dark lord's effect on him. Now Danyck felt and heard everything. Voldemort's smell of pine and leaves filled his senses and he grabbed Voldemort's head to get kissed again. Their groins were rubbing against each other. Voldemort went down and passed his tongue on Seth's member. Seth moaned and gripped the bed's sheet. Danyck was sweating, alone on the bed. He removed his shirt, and he grabbed his head. He didn't know how to block Seth's thoughts and the pleasure he was receiving from the dark lord affected him strongly. He felt Seth drink Voldemort's blood and he climaxed, despite of himself.
*My god, is drinking blood that much pleasurable?* Whispered Danyck but he saw Seth was also giving the dark lord immense pleasure by doing so.
*What are you doing on my bed?* Hissed Nagini as she startled Danyck.
*I'm… what? Sorry! Seth t… told me I could come here temporarily.* Said Danyck as he moved further back from the bed, Nagini inches from his face. Her tongue flickered and touched his nose.
*You understand me… interesting. I'll use you for warmth then. Sleep.* Hissed Nagini.
Seth had brought his mind shields again and Danyck was relieved, but was now stressing because of the snake staring at him, waiting for him to lay down.
*How I'm I supposed to fall asleep, you are very frightening.* Said Danyck.
Nagini laughed and made a very weird hissing sound.
*We are the master's pets, I shall not hurt you. I like your aura. Now, sleep.* Hissed Nagini.
Danyck slowly placed a trembling hand on her head and gently pet her. She closed her eyes and seemed to like it. He felt calmer and placed himself comfortably. She slithered on him, moving until she found the perfect position against his skin, then stopped. Danyck closed his eyes, thinking he truly never saw or lived anything as of yet and only surprises awaited him.
