Chapter 6

Lielle stood outside the ritual room leaning on the door, as she closed her eyes as she heard the screams of the vampires. She was relieved that the ritual succeeded, but she also knew that this was only the first step in becoming a god.

She sighed as she reached into her satchel and took out a golden potion. She drank it slowly, ignoring its sour and bitter taste.

As she wiped her lips, her eyes turned back to their normal color: black; and her skin were no longer pale. She also felt warmer, and she gave out a gasp at being reminded what it was like to be 'normal' again. They had been ingesting a complex potion that imitated the effects of vampirism, although it did not give them enhanced powers. However, it was the only way to gain the creatures' trust.

Upon the discovery of Azura's star being housed in the cave, the two had been plotting and trying to find out a way to infiltrate the vampire nest and take the star for their own plans. Thing could not have been better when they realized not only did the vampires not know what the star was, but they also did not even know that it was even in the cave. She was merely astonished at how far the vampires have gone, without extensive historical and magical knowledge.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the door behind her giving a push. Realizing she was blocking the way, she quickly moved out of the way for Vivec to exit.

He was covered in blood and vampire dust, but none his. He merely walked out of the room and she followed him.

"How did it go?" She asked carefully. It was a ritual he had theorized, but she had performed. She was still worried of the level of effectiveness someone of her level of magical expertise proved, compared to his.

"It was fine." He replied.

Vivec flexed his fingers again, and whispered:

"Laas yar nir."

Then he looked around the dark room. He smiled.

"What does that one do?" asked Lielle.

"Detect life." He replied.

He stood there, in the dark hallway, a tall silhouette rivaling the charisma of a statue of Talos.

'He's really powerful now.' Lielle thought.

'But he still wants more.'

"Come Lielle. It will be a while before we can conduct the next part of the process, and I don't intend to die here by some vampire hunters. I'll need to go back to the ship."

"Are your wounds ok? I've tried to heal them the best I could, but-"

"Lielle. They're fine. Now we can't afford to waste any more time. Soon, they will reach us."

"…Alright. Just let me know if you need healing."

Vivec began walking out of the hallway, and Lielle followed behind him, only being able to imagine the possibilities that had been unlocked to them.
