48 C48 Crimson Hot-springs

Kaye stared at the man next to her, saying that these people standing directly in front of her were vampires. Scanning the woman she could only see the happy smiling faces, the welcoming attitude and the friendly nature.

She had heard vampires could use some magic and illusion magic was something that could disguise someone, making it almost impossible without a magic caster to tell for illusions. She trusted the man standing by her side as she turned to the group.

She had heard from others that vampires destroyed towns and villages, they drank the blood of victims to restore life energy, they had a reputation of death, despair and hate. They customarily enslaved, killed and conquered the city's they lived inside.

Fear was rising inside her, she stared at both the guards surrounding them as she noticed hands moving towards the hilts of blades, each second passing as her heart started to skip a beat as her fear was rising like a tidal wave inside her. Her hand was pulling her sword out at the same time the two guards pulled weapons as well.

Nathan watched with surprise as he saw the guards and Kaye pulling weapons, the woman ahead of him staring with hunger as he gave a soft smile to them. He had to be careful in his next move as he did not want to cause any issues, vampires had excellent uses and had a potential to become a perfect part of his army.

Auryn still slightly unsure as to what was happening but her mind did not hold the same hatred as Kaye. She saw both guards also looking nervous as they had never encountered a situation like this, both of them knowing clearly that the woman behind them bore fangs.

"Well, I think we should take this down a few places. No need to pull weapons."

The taller woman was standing at the head of the pack, eyes staring at the man as her lips turned to a smile, eyes looking at him with interest as she started to speak herself.

"It's interesting you would think that most people hear vampires and they assume we have come to destroy the city and kidnap everyone. You found out and remained calm. May I ask why?"

Nathan took a few steps forward, his smile growing as he looked at each of them with a friendly, warm and loving nature as he continued to smile. His attitude causing all the vampires to look at him with curiosity, a stranger to the emotions that were shown by him.

"Vampires are divine creatures. But they are not in decline because they can still get a source of energy from others. They are stable and still active. You can't blame me for not showing such emotions. Please, My name is Nathan, and this is Auryn and Kaye."

The first vampire stared for a few moments, seeming confused by the words coming from his mouth, most people considered vampires a parasite than an actual divine creature similar to the Eira or Bothanicals.

"You make it sound like you are our father who is slightly concerning since vampires are not born but created."

Both Auryn and Nathan looked to each other, smiles coming to their faces as they began to break out laughing, both the guards and Kaye confused as weapons became placed back into sheaths.

"Our Mistress would like to speak to you."

The vampire would softly speak as she bowed, the group of vampires splitting apart to flank each side as the main one began to move down the line. Nathan following with Auryn right behind him.

"Oh, Kaye please get the others to come here. I trust that you all will not touch them in anyways and allow them to relax?"

The vampire nodded to his request as Kaye stared at Nathan, her nervous expression evident as quickly turned around, sprinting down the hill as she was going to find the others.

"I see you guys have gained hate since the war of the gods."

Nathan commented as he continued following the woman, the vampires following him inside as Auryn stuck next to his side, saying nothing about the situation.

Delina Seyist had spent the last few years in the vortex, having found her way inside after hearing about the many vampires trapped inside, starving and hungry. Her soft small hands were taking a cup as she pulled it to her lips.

Delina height was roughly 6'1. She was the oldest vampire currently in the world having spent almost Eight hundred years here yet she looked closer to thirty. Her long curly crimson hair was cascading down her back with abundance. Blood red eyes that seemed to hold the wisdom of the world in her gaze

If you'd compared both Auryn and Delina, while Auryn was a refined beauty with an innocent and lovely nature, Delina was more towards the naughty side of her beauty, perfect skin with a curvey body that filled out in all the right places; she was a pure temptress.

Wearing a black dress that seemed to hug every part of her sculpted body, she had been personally turned into a vampire by the Goddess Aelina and had retained that beauty through the many years that she had experienced.

Currently, she had spent so many years in this town, enjoying the feast of those who came through. Any feeding from the locals had been eventually stopped by her, favouring the wealthy business people. Vampires had the perfect ability to enter into people's memories and replace negative thoughts with pleasant ones. They also could influence a partners body, pain to pleasure and the reverse was also true.

"M'lady, we have someone who has come, he is able to see past our illusions without any magic himself, he's wearing strange clothes and looks rather similar to a starved traveller."

Delina began to laugh as she had heard a similar story often enough, being hungry in this place was not a first. She started to pick up her cup, slowly lifting it to her lips as she continued to chuckle lightly.

The woman addressing Delina nodded her head as she looked back to the entrance, apparently speaking to the woman at the front through telepathy.

"He said his name was Nathan and his guests are Auryn and Kaye?"

The only sound next was the sound of shattering of the cup that had been in the woman's hand, her eyes turning quickly to the woman as Delina's eyes fixed onto her.

"Invite him in quickly and also make sure the other women know that if they offend that man."

She would take a breath as her lips curled into a smile with a hint of pleasure coming to her lips, like a cat who just got the milk.

"I will kill them myself."
