For quite a while, it was looked upon by the younger generation of human fighters as a second betrayal for leaving. Vyras did not share those sentiments. Elves never give up, when you are immortal time is nothing to you, Vyras thought to himself. Ten years? In the case of the elves, ten years is but a single drop of sand in an hourglass spanning eons.


What was the High Elder thinking? Vyras wondered. The only reason the elves were being left alone was because they were being passive against the vampires and waging an ineffective war against the drow, allowing the vampires to focus on the humans and the orcs.


Whatever their reasons, their presence is welcome, at least in this old man’s eyes. Vyras decided, rubbing tears from his eyes. He didn’t care what the younger members of the resistance thought; To assume that the elves would betray again is racism. Especially given the fact that the elves had absolutely no choice.


Vyras’ suspicions were confirmed when he heard the clank of metal on stone. He looked up. The sound came from the rooftop and he saw elves climbing up ropes to the rooftops from his position at the window.


“ARROWS FOR EVERYONE!” a familiar wiry elven voice shouted.


Vyras could not see what was going on on the rooftops above, but Vyras could see crystal arrows being flung at vampires.vampires were running for their lives or taking flying down into the prison. In which case Haegar took care of them with his axe. Lithia’s ears perked up. “COULD THAT BE WHO I THINK IT IS?!” Lithia asked excitedly.


Lithia had finished healing Haegar and walked up to Vyras. Unable to see by herself, she stood on a dead vampire laying against the wall to see what Vyras was looking at. Seeing he fellow elves join brought joy to the childish and likely insane elf. The pupils of her eyes widened. And a sinister smile crept up on her face. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

“YAAAAAAAAAAY! THEY’RE HERE! THEY LEFT THE FUN SO LONG AGO! I WAS WONDERING WHEN THEY’D JOIN AGAIN! “ Lithia added


Then the elves threw down nettle ropes into the hole in the ceiling and rappelled down. Vyras was greeted by a sight he hadn’t seen in 10 years: Commander Brimblemir, Lithia’s older twin brother by about 5 minutes. Lithia was ecstatic. “BROTHER!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! HAVE YOU JOINED FOR THE STABBIES?!”


Like Lithia, he had silver hair, fair skin, and blue eyes he wore a mithril chainmail and he had a maple longbow and crystal arrows. Also like Lithia, he was a complete loony as well


He shot a vampire behind Lithia “ONE VAMPIRE!” He shot a male vampire attempting to sneak up on Sakura with a crystal arrow into the genitals “TWO VAMPIRE!” a vampire came up behind Brimblemir. He stabbed it in the eye with a crystal arrow then did a spin kick into the right side of the vampire’s face, knocking the body to the ground “DEAD VAMPIRE!” And then he regained composure and shot another arrow into the ass of a female vampire “SCREWED VAMPIRE!” He then ran up to Lithia and gave his sister a big hug. “LITHIA YOU’RE HERE?! The two giggled


“Brimblemir! What is going on,why have you joined the siege?” Vyras asked. Bimblemir


“SOME SERIOUS FUN UP NORTH! WE’VE BEEN KILLING DROW WITH ALL SORTS OF FUN FORMS OF FREE DEATH! DRAWING AND QUARTERING, FLAYING ALIVE, BRASS BULL, CRUCIFIXION, AND NOW THE DROW HAVE FORCED US BACK SOUTH AGAIN INTO VAMPIRE LANDS. THE JERKS!” Brinblemir shouted.


Brimblemir’s Lieutenant took over for him. “Vyras what are you doing on the front lines? I don’t know if you remember me, but I’m Keldia. I had the honor of being your student 5 years ago.” Vyras nodded. “We’re all that’s left, so I got placed on the front lines-by my insistence-for this raid. But what’s this I hear about the drow forcing you down south? Did the war against the drow take a bad turn again?” Vyras asked. Keldia nodded. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

“They summoned Kalgoria Demons and sent them against our tribe, so we had no choice but to leave our sacred lands again and head south. It was safer down south than up north with the drow.


Vyras pitied her. Having to choose between death by burning demons of death, or death by vampire. “So how’d you get down here?” Vyras asked.


“Our clan happened to find Castle Gern under siege, We normally wouldn’t venture so close to Castle Gern, but bandits blocked our normal path. so we had no choice but through the route that no elf would dare venture towards unless she had absolutely no choice. going around through the trees meant we might stumble onto traps, and going through meant that we might get hit by arrows or spells, or hexes, or attacked by vampire bats, Balta’s pets. You name it.” Keldia explained.


“And the Drugal? They were guides yes?” Vyras enquired. she nodded “As I said, we wouldn’t go down this route unless we had absolutely no choice.” She turned around and stabbed a vampire in the heart with her dagger. Vyras smiled. “How many elves are with you?” Vyras asked. “2,000, though only 1500 can fight since the rest are children. We have about 200 drugal with us as mercenaries, and procurers. So Vyras. I have a question: how many prisoners have been freed by your squad?”


“Give or take 150, Alexandre’s probably freed a hundred or so more, and many may have escaped in the confusion, but that doesn’t count inside the Deep Cells down in the caverns underneath the castle. I doubt even the most complex opening spell will open that door.



“We have an opportunity to study it, my teacher. Do you want to try?” she asked Vyras nodded. Now that wood elves were flooding into the hole in the roof and shooting vampires everywhere dead, it was as good a chance as any. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Balta Mirta


-


In a tower not so far away from Castle Gern, a bald, pale-white vampire, slim in her features, and still very beautiful. She wore a black robe that bore Clan Gern symbols- The vampiric venus flower- The blood-drinker lotus, as it’s called back on Sanguinos. It was a reminder of a time before they were on this continent. It grew only when watered with the lifeblood of human cattle. It was a symbol of power, and of subjugation,


She watched as her castle was laid to siege with shoddy siege engines., and then laid waste by those troublesome elves. Even from afar, Balta noticed that the ropes on the catapults were frayed, the cranks was rusty, the nails rusted to hell, the wood rotted; and still those siege engines, haphazardly cobbled together like an ugly broken toy, desperately reassembled by desperate children. The 7 ton boulders being flung at her stronghold like trash. It was amusing That they still thought they could win. Even with siege equipment sold to them by the Lethornians, the resistance was a putrid joke


Resistance fighters normally would not undertake such a dangerous operation, hence the undead skeletons. For Lady Balta Mirta, Queen of Clan Gern, that meant that, at long last, after centuries of battling the resistance from the shadows, her vampires were close to eradicating the resistance for good, which meant that she could go in with her dragon, Azmonthiid, torch the resistance strongholds, and at long last slumber for a century or two.


But something told her that Lord Tingus Gern, her husband, who is technically in charge wouldn’t want his wife resting on her loralls. Tingus, who’s embarrassing tomfoolery made Clan Gern a laughingstock back on Sanguinos; Tingus, who refuses to rein in their son, Lexius; on the grounds that 'He’s having a good time!'

Tingus, who keeps wasting Clan Gern’s gold looking for and cavorting with what passes for a doctors in this land, for reasons he could not- nay, WOULD NOT - explain! Balta Mirta may have once loved her husband, but the man has become a drunken wastrel, drinking bloodwine at all hours of the night -absolutely scandalous!- Balta mirta clenched her fist out of anger so hard that her nails drew blood.



The thought of her husband brought fresh anger to her heart. She and Tingus haven’t slept in the same castle in over 300 years for many reasons, and the thought of her husband made her want to kill some resistance scumbags. For her, the entrance was as important as the results. She could go fly in, in bat form, but that was untheatrical, and dull. No for once she was taking her dragon Asmonthiid with her. The poor guy hadn’t had the chance to fly in a while.


Most resistance fighters have heard rumors of a flying dragon in Sudovia. Balta and her husband knew that. What they didn’t know was that Asmonthiid was Balta’s friend and mount . At the time of the dragon’s capture, dragons were fairly common in Sudovia. Asmonthiid killed all those dragons. Balta knew not the reasons why Asmonthiid had done such a thing, he didn’t exactly want to tell her. Balta found the dragon crying, and wounded. She soothed it with a beautiful melody. Over the years, they developed a beautiful friendship. Eventually Asmonthiid


offered to hunt resistance members for her. He occasionally pooped out the corpses of resistance members that he ate for a snack.


“Asmonthiid… Why don’t we go hunt down some resistance fighters. I assume you’re hungry..”

Asmonthiid perked up his black scaled head and licked his lips . The telltale sign that he was hungry. “Come on, let’s go for a ride” Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Balta opened the dragon’s cage. The dragon- a behemoth, even among other dragons- crawled out of his cage. Balta rubbed his rough scaly hide. Asmonthiid lowered his tail allowing for the vampire to climb on his back. “Why don’t we show them an entrance, Asmonthiid. The dragon nodded, and bellowed an ear-piercing horrific shriek that echoed for miles. Glass shattered everywhere,


Before she took off, she raised her blackened hood over her bald head. “Okay, Asmonthiid, let’s go.




Asmonthiid and Balta took to the skies over the forest. Asmonthiid’s ear-piercing shrieks caused the resistance fighters to look up and try to pinpoint the source of the shrieks. For Vyras, this was his biggest ”Oh shit” moment He assumed the other resistance fighters thought the same. Balta maneuvered Asmonthiid’s massive frame downward, where he snatched two fighters up in his claw with one motion, Asmonthiid raised his right claw, and shoved him in his mouth, and began chewing..Vyras and company had to get the hell out of this castle,



---






Balta maneuvered the dragon aerie of the castle on the 4th floor. Waiting for her was Lexius chained to his side like was the same naked human female he beat to a pulp earlier. Who looked absolutely terrified “Good evening mother!” He told her. Balta looked at her son’s… conquest with disgust, but she didn’t care about that right now. For the first time in years, Balta shed tears.


“I was so worried about you but had to test your resolve to see if you were an effective administrator, did they hurt you?“ She asked him. She smelled the familiar stench of bloodwine. She slapped him with the fury only a pissed of mother could possess “Drinking! He rubbed his right cheek “ In the middle of a siege! You are just like your irresponsible, drunken wastrel of a father! Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

I cannot believe that the man most apparent to take the position of monarch would be drinking, cavorting with whores, and showing weakness as a result! That bitch you have chained up, Lexius, drain her, work her to death or leave her be! We don’t fuck the cattle! It is beneath us! And in case you didn’t notice the entirety of Clan Gern thinks you are now unfit to rule in my absence!” She got back on her dragon and stared at glared at Lexius. “Once again, I have to fix your mistakes, just like I have to do with your father’s!


Lexius gave his mother the evil eye. Balta expected that. The spoiled brat was always defiant of his mother, even when they were still mortal. He may be 10,000 years old, but he still acts like the 18 year old kid he was before the gift of vampirism was bestowed upon the entire family. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Over the Sanguine Sea



Sailing west across the night-shrouded, stormy Sanguine Sea, A young vampire, around 20 before his turning, with dashing good looks,a blonde ponytail haircut, fine ebony black armor, and a saber sheathed to his back stood on the balcony just outside the captain’s cabin of his ship. A storm overhead rocked his ship, and his fleet, as if they were toys in a bathtub. Freezing rain battered the ships, making the wooden decks slippier than frigid ice. Lightning flashed overhead periodically,. “Steady, gentlemen!” he urged. His inhuman guttural voice louder than usual because they were in a storm. By his side was a female vampire with blonde hair, pale skin, and red eyes she was shrouded in a hooded white dress with gold embroidered inlays over the collar. The curved bow of the ship prevented either of them from getting wet. Her face was gaunt yet beautiful. The two were chatting about plans.


“I don’t think our prey expected that we simply let them be for 500 years, mother. I seriously doubt that they will expect an assault, mother.” She shook her head. “Sudaro, you completely underestimate everything our enemy is capable of, You’ve only recently taken control of House Draconis.” Sudaro frowned. “If only because you wouldn’t let me ascend to head of the clan for 500 years…” His mother smiled at him. “You needed to learn the art of patience and subterfuge. It took you ages to learn to control your anger; now you are ready to take them on.” Sudaro just stared at her. “You mean to say that all I had to do was to learn to be patient?”


She nodded “ Vampires are creatures of deceit and shadow. It would do House Draconis no good to know that the head of the clan flung into rage at the first perceived enemy he saw. Being pureblooded, we can take on a lot of lesser vampires, but we cannot take on the 5 Houses alone, not that we’d want to. We scheme, we don’t charge in blindly.

“Then what is your plan, mother.” Sudaro asked “No, No, you got it all wrong, the one who is coming up with the plan is you, I’m just the adviser. What is YOUR Plan,” she countered. Sudaro thought to himself for a moment. “Well, I… Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Vyras



Standing by a massive door in the dungeon made of silver, an odd choice of material for a vampire, but it meant that the door in front of Vyras predated the vampires. “There are no other doors made of these materials in this dungeon, and I doubt a vampire could even touch silver without some sort of protective gear. My guess is this is the door leading to Gilus Urvas, the Deep Cavern. Where the majority of humanity is being kept” Vyras began.


Ignoring the raging dragon, and his own nerves, this was a perfect opportunity to study the door. He and Keldia took a step back to study the massive door. Then Vyras flung a massive fireball at the door. The fireball stopped mid-flight and reversed at Vyras. Vyras gestured with his left hand and caught the fireball again. Vyras flung it back, and the door did the same.


“Fuckin’ shit, I feel like I’m playing dodgball with a door!” Vyras flung the fireball out the window. “That is a mighty annoying enchantment they placed on it.” Keldia said, sighing after laughing at Vyras’ dodgeball comment. Would take a very long time to open it without the key, Speaking of which, where is the keyhole?” Vyras asked. “Makes you think the vampires don’t use one, meaning there must be a mechanism for getting it open.” Vyras concluded. He felt around the door for any sort of catch, and couldn’t find one. “Curious, a super thick door with no handle, no keyhole, is locked, and heavily enchanted… How does one open such door?” Vyras threw another fireball this time at the wall. This time the wall caught the fireball and threw it back at Vyras. “Fuck me, even the walls are enchanted! I am calling it now. This is the most annoying frickin’ door ever invented.” Vyras vented.
