69 C69 Old Wounds

The four members of the group stared at the woman, each one waiting for her response as time seemed to drag on with each passing moment.

"Come with me then."

She calmly responded as she turned right back around, moving towards the manor as she took steps quickly as the group followed behind her.

Azo struggled with each step as Bull held onto his arm, helping with each move.

"Man you are too weak to continue. I can carry you."

Bull spoke quietly to Azo as he had one massive shit-eating grin on his face as he continued to press his hands against him.

"I'm not that crippled yet, using magic only exists a body temporarily. I've only used magic for a day at this rate."

Azo spat out as he felt his vision skewering as he was feeling weaker with each moment. Each step like his body was stepping in lava.

Eventually, the group arrived at the manor, stepping inside the grounds as the gates closed behind them and locked. Fourteen other women surrounding the group as the woman who had led them turned.

"Please mind these people. They are here to make sure you behave."

Bull raised his chest as he looked at all the pretty and very sensual women, his laughter growing as he cracked his knuckles.

"Oh my, I think you will need more than fourteen scrawny beauties to stop me, lady."

Azo stared at them all; his body was used to the death energy that his crystals had used for power, he sensed the insane amount of death energy they all gave off.

"Bull, if I'm right then they are all vampires."

It was almost like a transformation as Bull stopped cracking his fingers, looking at each of them.

"I think fourteen will be enough."

He sheepishly said as he took back what he said, vampires had a reputation that gave respect due to the combat prowess.

It took only a few minutes before everyone sat inside one of the manor's many rooms, this one is rather sparse as many items had been moved out.

It took but a few moments before the four sat across from a woman that sent fear down everyone's spine. A few other vampires scattered around the room as they watched. It was easy to see the amount of the power the woman currently held, her beauty stunning and her age making her appear younger than she was.

Delina smiled at the group as she sat back in the chair, holding a cup of tea as she looked at each of them.

"Oh my, what a ragtag of people I have inside my manor today."

"Hectic day so far with so much activity due to a previous guest, and now I have a bunch of impossible people here."

Bull stared at the woman as he crossed his arms.

"Woman, we are not impossible. We are very much possible, and we kick ass."

Delina heard the man with her voice almost spilling out in laughter with each word; it was clear that this man was not the bright one out of the group.

"I mean we have two ununited Zerathels a half-ogre and the most interesting of all we have a Draconic Bloodline sitting here?"

Delina answered as she pointed to the twins, then Bull and finally her eyes setting onto Azo as she felt her smile curling up.

"It's rare to see any of your kinds; you are the impossible group of people who should never have met up due to rarity, but yet you formed a group together and came looking for a certain person?"

Azo felt the sweat crawling down his skin as he knew this woman was not someone he should mess with, she was influential in many ways including knowledge.

"May I ask your name. Its only right to ask a lady her name first."

Azo let those words slide out, trying to add some slight charm to them as he watched her reaction.

"Oh my, how nice. My name is Delina. My last name does not concern you."

Delina finished as she leaned forward, her interest in the man with scales growing more as she smelt fear and sweat coming as her name got mentioned, this man was also one of the few well-informed individuals.

"Oh, you have heard of me?"

Azo twitched slightly in his chair as he had gotten pegged quickly.

"Yes, the leader of the two main vampire clans. One chosen by the Goddess Aelina herself. It means I'm in the right place after all."

Azo looked into the woman's eyes as he tried to hold his breath, knowing that this knowledge was dangerous to give out. His vision was wavering as he still felt tired after an entire day of magical usage.

"Right place indeed, you seem rather tired though and almost on the verge of magical collapse, it's best if you take a rest and talk to me in the morning."

Azo stood up at this point, annoyance on his face as he had spent the entire day using flight magic to power a vast amount of space and sleeping inside the ring's spatial room to cut down the time as much as possible.

He had just met someone connected to Aelina, and he was going to get to this person that was supposed to be another God who could help.

"I met Aelina; we met her."

He spoke that line as the room went silent, the smile destroyed from Delina's face as the other vampires looked to each other before quickly exiting the room.

Delina stared at the man as rage and pain were evident in her eyes as she stared at him the power more potent as it was clear she was trying to suppress her anger.

"That is impossible. Aelina is dead. I've looked for her every day since she went missing and its been years without any notice."

Azo smirked softly as he finally found a topic that he had some extra knowledge on, it was always nervous being against someone who knew more than him. At least he had seen a part he could best her on if needed.

"I found her being captive in the church. She is under the capital city of Senoa, and she asked us to bring a message to the God in the east."

Delina felt her shock hitting her hard. Her mind racing as she knew if this was the case then it was of importance for him to meet Nathan.

"Fine, I'll take you to Nathan. Get up we need to move. I also do not need to remind you, but if you do any funny business, then I will kill you all."

Delina stood as she spoke, allowing the other vampires to enter as everyone looked to her with expectations.

"Move, Is he not here?"

Delina turned to Azo who asked the question, her smile coming back.

"He just left an hour ago roughly. If we leave now, we can catch up by flying."

Azo let out a small smile, his body cursing him as he knew he had to continue working, it was not till he felt his body getting grabbed and lifted that he started to complain.

"H... Hey! What are you doing!"

He opened his eyes to stare at Delina holding him in a princess carry, taking him out the door and to the exit.

"Rest tired boy. I'll look after you."

Azo's face was scarlet as he tried to get free, his body getting gripped by the strength of the vampire.

"if you keep wiggling I may drop you during the flight!"

Azo stopped as he heard the woman say he may be dropped during the flight, the small giggle and smile from her lips confirmed it as he stopped moving and became a statue.

"I trust you will not drop me." Azo quietly responded.

"Worry not my Draconic Prince. I will protect you."

Bull was creasing in laughter as he watched this go on, it was not until he felt his body getting lifted by a tiny vampire with bright red locks that made his voice also grow silent.

The twins were taking hold of Jelia as everyone flew into the sky, Azo staring in disbelief at the kind of flight.

"Wait, flying without magic, it has to be divine power!"

"Correct, wait to you see Nathan though. You have seen nothing yet."
