62 C62 Emptiness

Nathan and Delina exited the underground area, the remaining issues cleared up by the vampires in reserve now that the area had cleansed of everything dangerous and rodent-like.

"Thank you. Nathan, you have helped us a great deal by getting the orb back."

Nathan was still holding the orb in one hand, wondering about a few things as he looked back at the woman with a small smile. "I can't give this back to you, this is no longer controlled and will continue corrupting those around it."

Delina blinked, staring at the man as she was confused at the wording, though knowing the man's true identity she could not make any assumptions.

"Oh, so what shall we do then. I hope you will not just assume for us to die?"

Nathan shook his hand as he held the orb in the other.

"No, I will take care of everyone. I filled sanctuary, our home with divine energy which will help, but with this death orb with pure power inside. I have an idea so please give me some time."

Delina let out a soft sigh as she nodded to the man, agreeing with him for the moment as she trusted him to provide a solution.

"Delina I will provide direct power, I will need this orb for now and some rest. I could use a good wash after getting coated in rat blood over and over again."

The woman laughed as she waved over a younger vampire, a petite woman just under five foot tall with small red curls that seemed to flutter.

"Mina please see to our lord that he is well taken care of and give him a good room!"

Mina saluted as she bounced with a smile, getting a job that involved someone so talented as she rushed out the door, Nathan following behind her as he was led out of the basement and into the central part of the building, eventually reaching the main corridor.

Eventually reaching the back area before getting the keys from Mina as Nathan entered his room for the evening. The inside was similar to the ladies as it held the same paintings and design choices, the room had only one bedroom instead of the three with a much larger bed.

"So one room, the hot spring is out back, it's easy and you can go in when you want. I will wash those clothes now personally and bring them back."

Nathan looked at the woman, pulling off his clothing quickly as he then folded it up before handing it over to her. His face showing no emotion as he merely handed it all over to her.

"Oh wow, no shame as you just stripped right here for me!"

Nathan blinked for a moment as he looked at her, standing fully nude as he felt no embarrassment or shame as he felt like something was wrong with this, why did he feel no shame.

"It's fine. Please have the clothing washed carefully, please."

The woman nodded her head as she took the clothing and left in a hurry, giggling to herself as she exited and moved away.

Nathan stood for a few moments before he started to walk towards the back area, his body carrying him over as he felt no fatigue or pain from the earlier fighting.

"Better take off my glasses. Otherwise, they will fog up."

His hand reached up towards his face as he tried to grab his glasses, his mind stopping for a moment as he came to realise something.

"I've not had my glasses this entire time. I can see perfectly."

The weight finally hit him as he stood frozen near the back sliding door to the hot spring as his mind raced.

He was changing at a frightening pace, each day that passed he had learnt something new that had happened to him.

He had felt hunger and thirst the first day but never again after, he felt shame as he hit the ground after slipping from the waterfall and he felt passion when he looked at all the beautiful woman.

His hand moved the sliding door open as his vision saw the mist drifting from the Hotspring, four lovely and beautiful nude women sitting in the hot spring's together, laughing as they ate meat from a platter nearby, wine in glasses sitting next to the spring as they enjoyed it.

He felt nothing at all, the passion that drove someone to grab the woman and hold them; it was all gone replaced with nothing.

The woman stopped as everyone looked towards him, Kaye's face lighting up like a Christmas tree as she tried to cover herself. Ameria seemed to cover herself with a smirk on her face while both Auryn and Kai seemed not to mind, Auryn smiling with a beauty that could sway anyone's heart.

Nothing, Empty, Void. He felt nothing.

"Sorry for intruding. I thought this was a private spring. I'll meet you all inside the dining hall for breakfast tomorrow when you are all ready."

Nathan shut the door behind him, his shadow moving away from the sliding door as the woman relaxed.

"Oh wow, surprised that he just barged in here. Maybe Nathan has a more perverted side than I imagined."

Kai shook her head as she just relaxed back into the water, leaves floating on the water as she was floating around like a leaf on the lake.

"Sorry Kaye, I do not agree. I saw no passion, thrill or excitement in his eyes. I'm kind of annoyed that his view got nothing from him. It's like I'm not a woman!"

Ameria nodded her head as she looked at the rest, her eyes shifting as she looked over to Auryn.

"He is changing, I can see that much, but I do not know if its good or bad. It's a shame we do not have Feya with us; she knows him the longest."

"Let's just hope this is a change for the better and not the worse."
