Murlough tapped his fingers on the wide and stiff arm of the executive chair in Elvin Towers which stood in a large city in New Jersey. This vampire, Floaty, who was trying to make peace between two the two vampire clans put a large problem into Murlough's business. He supplied Star Gazer with Dead Man's Blood, he supplied Skittery and a handful of Spot's vampires with ninja stars made from molten medal mixed with Dead Man's Blood. He supplied Trench and Spot both with different weapons and more which brought in much of his money; the fact that if Floaty's plans went though and peace happened...He shuddered.
He despised change, hated it. The vampires had started this war hundreds of years ago and therefore, he had decided, they should always war, always. The change with them having peace would not only take money away from his company, but would change things for the elves. While the two vampire clans fought with eachother elves became the dominant otherworld species and slowly started to outnumber the vampires. When they fully outnumbered the vampires it would be the elves who took control of all otherworld species, the vampires would then be their subjects to rule over. He looked up when Greven slowly faded into the room.
"Well?" Murlough questioned.
Greven swallowed, "the Tuuli-Rah is stronger than you gave her credit for, Merlin trained her well. She's not only quick, strong, and efficient with her magic, but she is strong as a vampire as well."
"Greven, should I have sent your son David to do your job?" Murlough questioned as he leaned back in his chair, he struggled to keep his anger in check. He kept his voice gravelly, soft, low, and used a small amount of magic to bring fear into the elven warrior.
"N-No," stammered the warrior, "David would not stand a chance against her. He is...A good computer technician as well as a good friend to Skittery...I think that the Floaty could easily kill him in a single blow."
"You have a message for me from her, don't you?" Murlough more commanded then asked, he could hear an angry woman's growling voice, but could not hear the words that echoed in his warrior's mind.
"She said she'll put you in her magical circle and send you to another dimension, and she said to stay away," Greven replied nervously.
"She is not strong enough to make threats against me," replied Murlough as he stood, "send your youngest, Les, into the vampire community have him work as one of their human servents. I want to know each and every move that Floaty and anyone who helps her with this peace plan makes."
"Yes, sire," replied Greven, gave a deep bow before fading away.
Murlough stood and straightened his black suit's jacket, he made sure his grey braided wig sat well ontop of his bald head and covered his pointy ears so humans couldn't see them. He walked over to the large window and overlooked the city he turned as the door opened, "ah, Mr. Gates, always a pleasure to see you, please do sit down. I understand you have need for a certain computer chip that my people invented, I'm not willing to sell the computer chip's rights to you, however I'd be glad to supply them to your companies."
"Floaty are you sure you're alright?" Jo asked that night as she helped Floaty make ballots for the vampires to choose the strongest females of Trench's clan. They would date and if all went well would be mated to males from Spot's clan.
"I'm fine," Floaty replied as she wrote the last name on the final slip of paper that was the last ballot, she put it into the bin, "as for that warrior, Greven, I'm not so sure. I really shook him up, hopefully that fear will go to Murlough and make him back off."
"I doubt it," frowned Jo as she placed the ballots she had made into the bin on top of the other ballots, "elves despise change, but Murlough hates change. He hates change so much I've heard his kills off his own elves who try to change anything in the Elven Kingdom."
"He's a cruel leader," Floaty replied, "Trench is not as bad as he is."
"Yet," replied Jo.
"Yet," Floaty agreed with a nod as she stood, she started to give out ballots as they walked through the hallways, to the vampires they didn't see they slipped ballots under their doorways, two for mated (married) couples. When they were finished giving out the ballots Floaty slipped an empty one into her pocket, she put the voting box into attic where Trench would never go, he hated his attic with a passion since he had fallen through the floor boards once.
Jo leaned back and read down the list of names, she paused who were the strongest females she knew? Josephina was a pretty strong female, she put a check beside her name. She could check three to five names. She checked three more names, now for the last name, many females were strong in Trench's group, however many of them would never step forward to help make peace. Many of the females were chasing after Trench, she sighed in annoyance. Many were too stuck up in their own lives and looks to care about other vampires what so ever.
She paused and stared at Floaty's name, Floaty wanted peace badly. So bad she and Spot were literally starting a peace plan, she was brave, strong, and was willing to sacrifice anything and everything for peace. If that wasn't strength, love, intellegence, and courage she didn't know what was. She checked Floaty's name.
Skittery finished his ballot, he checked off Spot's name, and four other vampires names. He had also checked his name.
