The Accidental Vampire

"Got him." Lilith opened her eyes.

"Where is he?"

"In that direction. Right at the edge of the town." Lilith pointed toward the north. "We can't fly there, or we will have the risk of being caught. We'll have to walk."

"Isn't running better than walking? Just tell me when to stop, alright?"

"What are you saying?" Lilith asked in confusion, but instead of answering, Atlas picked Lilith up in his arms.

"As I said before, we can't fly, so we should run. Just tell me when to stop when we're near him, so we aren't caught." Atlas started running North.

As Atlas ran through the streets of the small town, he was like a ghost to the humans here who could barely see a blurry shadow fly past them. Most assumed that it was just their misconception and didn't take it seriously."

"I don't need to tell you to stop. Just keep running and stop when you see him," Lilith responded.

"Won't he see us then?"

"He won't. I would cast a shroud on us. It should make us temporarily invisible."

"Hmm? If you could make us invisible, was there really a reason for not flying?" Atlas inquired in confusion. If they really could be invisible, flying was a better option, wasn't it?

"Invisibility spells can't work if we're under the effect of different spells. So if we were flying, the Invisibility Spell would've been useless for us. Now that we aren't using any other spell on us, the invisibility spell should be able to work here. But as I said before, it is a temporary spell which won't last long."

"How long can that spell last? I'll prepare accordingly."

"Five minutes at once without breaking the spell," Lilith answered.

"Five minutes, huh. That's really not much, but then again, it's better than nothing. Cast that spell as soon as we get close to him," Atlas instructed.

Just as he finished speaking, Lilith cast the Shroud Spell. The spell covered both of them in a thin layer of barrier, which made it such that no one could see them.

Atlas also stopped as he saw the dark-haired Vampire standing at the edge of the town.

He had his hands behind his back as he calmly gazed at the forest before him. Seeing the man observe the forest, Atlas was surprised. Why was he looking at the forest?

"Hmm?" The dark-haired Vampire gazed back, feeling as if someone was standing behind him.

He gazed straight at Atlas, who stood still. Seeing the man look straight at him, Atlas wondered if the spell was really useless. It appeared as if the man could see him. How else was he looking straight at him?

"Strength. I felt as if someone was there." The dark-haired vampire shook his head before focusing back ahead.

Atlas finally felt relieved. The spell was working. Even the man couldn't see him. Now he just needed to be absolutely silent if he didn't want to be discovered.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

The Vampire from the Blood Council held an old-looking scroll in his hands. He opened the scroll in the direction of the distant mountains.

"That's the mountain, and this is the forest and the plain. Since I'm standing at the intersection, then I must be here."

"This is the exact spot that means. I'm finally here." The man closed the scroll before observing the ground under his feet. He started clearing the dust on the ground with his feet as if looking for something.

He kept clearing the dust before ultimately stopping as a small mark became visible.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ There was a strange mark on the ground, which was like an unreadable character. It was also the same Mark that was highlighted on the map he had just been seeing.

"I was right. This is the spot... The place where it all started. The Bloodstone shouldn't be too far now. It'll soon be within my grasp. Five hundred years of searching finally bearing some fruit."

Lilith closed her mouth with her hands as she heard the dark-haired man mention the Bloodstone since she didn't want the man to hear her shocked gasp.

Her eyes turned serious. This entire thing... It was more severe than she thought.

Atlas, on the other hand, was perfectly calm since he literally had no idea what the man was talking about. All he knew was that the man was looking for the Bloodstone thing here.

The young man brought a small red crystal out of his pocket and placed it on top of the strange mark on the ground.

The crystal and the mark both started shining momentarily before both stopped. The dark-haired man stood stunned. "Why did it fail? I've used the Key Fragment of Progenitor Ramiel. This should've worked! This place should've been opened."

The Blood Council Vampire picked up the stone and placed it on the ground again, but it resulted in the same thing once again. The stone shone for a little before stopping entirely.

"This still doesn't work. I'm sure I read that the Key Fragment is needed to open this place, so why doesn't it work? Could it be that one isn't enough? But if one isn't enough, wouldn't it mean I can never get to that place? And if I can't get to that place, how can I become the next Progenitor?! How can I become a true Immortal like them!"

"I have the key fragment of Lord Ramiel. I thought it would open the place! Why else would I steal this?! But if I need two or more, how can I do that? I don't even know where other Progenitors went to their eternal rest! How can I get the Key Fragment of theirs?"

"Wait... I might not know about the whereabouts of the other Progenitors, but isn't there one that we know about? Lord Atlan? If one isn't enough, then maybe two key fragments are? That... That might just work!"

"Looks like the trip to this place is a complete waste at this time. I was too optimistic."

The young Vampire stomped the ground in frustration. As soon as he stomped the ground, an energy blast came from the ground that sent the Dark Haired Vampire flying as if punishing him for his disrespect.

The Vampire balanced himself in the air to land safely on the ground, yet he wasn't completely unhurt. He wiped his bleeding lips as he frowned. Keeping the red stone in his pocket, he turned around and started leaving while promising himself that he was going to return once again and get what belonged to him.

Atlas watched the young man leave, slightly amused. He wondered just what this place was? It was certainly not a normal place. He lived in his town most of his early life, yet he didn't know about this place.

After the Dark Haired Vampire left, Lilith stopped her cloaking spell to save some of her strength.

"So that's what he was after." She got down from Atlas' arms, walking to the same spot where the Blood Council Vampire was standing before.
