Chapter 11:
Two weeks later:
It was evening and Marcus had announced plans to Aurora to show her something tonight. Since she had decided to stay in Bruma, she had already learned a lot from Marcus. He had begun to teach her how she could resist the thirst and thus exist in civilization without to want to rip everyone's throat out.
The key was to always be good fed. And over time, Marcus said, she would get used to the burning thirst and it would get easier to hide it.
Aurora had to admit that it was nice to have someone she could be herself, at least more than everywhere else. Marcus still wasn't aware of her true origin and exactly like that, she wanted it for now.
So as she waited on the doorstep to Marcus hose, she thought of Aela. She had been her best friend. What would she say if she would see her like that. Sometimes Aurora regretted to have fled from Skyrim.
"Ah, you're on time," Marcus said gently, "I don't understand what you're doing outside in the day all the time?".
"I miss the sun," Aurora said. After a week of sleeping the whole day, she had noticed how difficult it was for her to live without the sun. She missed the warmth that radiated on her skin and the bright light. She couldn't spend the entire day outside, so she tried to manage one or two hours a day.
"Well, let's go," Marcus said.
"How do we come through the gate? After nightfall, everyone who wants outside will be controlled." Aurora asked curiously.
"Listen carefully to me. As a vampire you've mastered a spell that conjures the people around you that you were a normal person. You can cast it in which you think about what others will see around you. Imagine how they look at you if you were human. "
"What about you? Will you think I'm human again? "
"No, the spell has no effect on vampires, so you can't change your appearance with this spell, you need to foul the people around you. Be careful though, the spell requires a lot of concentration and Magica. I wouldn't recommend using it in battle" Marcus replied," come on, try it ".
Aurora did what he had told her. She tried to imagine how she was seen by the guards when they recognized her as a human being. She felt her magical energy flow out from her and in a large circle around. As another person entered the imaginary radius, Aurora felt the new presence.
"I think it works," Aurora said.
"You're good, but you need to concentrate, so you doesn't let the spell fall in the wrong moment " Marcus replied with a smile that showed his teeth.
Without problems they were left out of the city and Marcus begun to walk toward the northwest.
"Where are we going?" Aurora asked curiously.
"Nearby is an old Ayleid ruin. The people here call it Rielle. Some vampires have settled there, they threaten our peace here. We will wipe them out before they become a problem and will lead the city led to higher security ".
She understood his logic, it was obvious. However, she didn't expect that he would proceed so mercilessly to protect his existence.
Probably he had seen her thoughtful expression because he said something else.
"Do you have a problem with that?" His voice sounded slightly disappointed.
"No, I was just surprised. You welcomed me. I hadn't thought that you would kill other vampires to ensure our survival. "
"We need to do whatever it takes, whether it means to kill vampires or to create new ones." He said seriously, looking at her with a determined expression in his eyes.
"How do I create another vampire?" Aurora Asked, following a sudden idea of her mind.
"Well, you have to bite the chosen one," he said.
"Obviously, but it must be more, otherwise your cellar would be full of vampires," she replied with a smile.
"You're right," he continued, also a smile on his face, "You have to actively decided to create a new vampire. It's more than to sip the blood of the mortal. Your victim must also get some of your blood. That is the reason why I believe that your creator was very powerful. You have taken over some of his power through his blood ".
That was interesting. She tried to remember whether Molag Bal had fed her some of his blood. She tried to remain calm as she sifted through her memories of him. She remembered everything just very blurry.
But yes, he had his head stuck in her chest and looked at her, then he pulled it out again and smiled at her. After that he had bitten her in her heart, but he had done something different, he had inflicted a cut to her left arm with one of his claws. And when he had left the room, just before she lost consciousness, she had seen a similar injury on his right arm.
"How do I give my blood to a mortal?" She asked, forcing her thoughts back to Marcus.
"Every way you want. It is only important that it gets into the system of mortal. He or she can swallow it or get through a breach in the skin, it doesn't matter. But do not forget, you have to bite the victim as well. This is part of the transformation as much as your own blood ".
Aurora nodded and walked silently beside him. She had finally learned a little more about what she was. Her transformation had so many similarities, to the transformation of a normal vampire, maybe she wasn't that differed to Marcus as she had thought.
But Marcus was over two hundred years old, he had to learn to control his temper, she had control over it almost as well as he did, after just a few weeks. What had Molag Bal had said when he followed her into his sanctum?
You're a pureblood vampire, a lord among your kind.
Aurora was at a loss. Silently they walked the rest of the way side by side.
