Unknown island off the coast of Greece, 1222BC
Arcadius returned after the third night. His face was grim. "Athenodora went to the wolves." He spat and Caius scoffed, his arm tightly wound around the immortal mans sister. She leant into his touch. "Athenodora is harmless. She cannot bring a force big enough against us. When she arrives here with them, if they haven't already torn her to shreds, we will be long gone, not even a trace of our scent remaining behind. It is time for us to leave." He commented airily.
Lysandra glanced up at him. "You said it was dangerous for us to travel as newborns," she breathed and he nodded, looking down at her. "It is, but if I did it all those years ago, alone, the three of us can do it together. We just need to remain out of Romanian and Egyptian territory." He warned.
Her features smoothed and she looked at Arcadius. "Did you hunt well?" She asked gently and he chuckled. "Is that truly what you wish to know?" He asked and she gave a slight smile of her own. "I suppose not." She responded before looking at Caius with soft eyes. "When do we leave?" She breathed.
His face was cold as he looked down at her, placing a gentle hand on her face. "Immediately."
This newfound land was different that what she had seen prior. Rolling hills of forests greeted her eyes as she pulled herself from the water, the sun beaming down upon them. The two men had carried the precious items they brought with them above the water, mainly the scholarly scrolls she had saw all over Caius's chambers. They were priceless, something he had stressed just like she had about her items. Arcadius had brought his own items, those too carried above the water as they journeyed through the night to this new land.
"We are in unclaimed territory," the blonde immortal mused, power lining his features. "We will claim it as our own for the moment, remain here for some time to come, and then we shall move again until we find somewhere we wish to remain." He stated coolly.
Lysandra hummed her agreement as she came up beside him, his arm snaking around her. "I agree," she stated softly, Arcadius nodding in agreement. "I second that." He added. He hummed, looking at the two of them as they stood side by side. "I don't think we will have problems co-existing with others in this area, will we?" He asked.
Caius shook his head, although his lip curled downward at the thought of one particular coven. "Perhaps the Romanian coven, but they are a great distance from here." He stated and Lysandra frowned. "Who are they?" She asked lightly.
A spitting scoff ripped from his lips. "They are scum. They crush opposing territories and slaughter entire covens who refuse to bend to their regime. They reveal our kind to anyone and everyone. They have an entire world cowering at their feet. They are foolish and that will be their downfall." He hissed.
Arcadius nodded. "Is there anyone big enough to challenge them?" He asked and the blonde nodded. "The Egyptian Coven, but they believe themselves to be their own Gods of old, or rather the reincarnations of them. They get the Egyptian people to worship them, even the kings of that land. They are a coven of arrogant beings who believe regular vampires to be beneath them." He answered.
Lysandra gave a soft smile. "I am quite content to remain here," she revealed and a grin spread across both of their faces. "Good," her brother answered. "Because I don't plan on going anywhere for a long, long time."
-Just a filler. A bit of a time jump next chapter, but incoming are the characters whom everyone is able to guess ;)
