Chapter 31: Arrival II
Arrival II
Kale looked at her. "Well, I am not as ruthless as you" he said.
"Ruthlessness pays. If you had been ruthless back then, you wouldn't have this problem. That's unimportant anyways. Now I am surprised you invited both my race and the werewolf race. Why? Back then, you guys single-handedly defeated the zohrrindane race. If you could do it back then. You can do it again." Aria said.
"Nope. That's one thing I would never do in my life. Underestimation. It could cause destruction of my race. Since the zohrrindane race dared to come back, they must have something powerful they are relying upon. They might have asked for the support of other races." Kale said.
"Hmm. You are right. Well, I am here to help you" Aria said.
"Yea. I can notice something striking about you" Kale said with a smile.
Aria looked at him "What's that?" she asked.
"Your hair. Then it was silver. Now it's blood-red. It gives someone the frights. Coupled with your extreme beauty, you look like a demoness of blood. Why did your hair color change?" Kale asked.
"Oh that. Well, I have awakened a more powerful ability." Aria replied.
"That's good. I need all the power I can get to eliminate those bastards once and for all." Kale said.
"So, what do I offer you?" Kale asked with a mischievous smile.
She looked at him and shook her head.
Always so playful.
"I don't want anything. Just give me your blood to drink. I would be satisfied with just that." She said with a tease in her tone. She wanted to play with him too.
Kale smiled.
Then a guard came in and knelt on a knee.
"My lord, the werewolf race have come" the guard said.
"Good. Tell them to bring their ship in" Kale said.
"Yes, my Lord" the guard said. Then he stood up and left.
The moment the guard mentioned the werewolf race, Aria's beautiful hazel eyes turned blood-red. But it quickly reverted to normal.
Kale looked at her and said. "Aria, please do not cause trouble."
Aria smiled at him. "Of course. I wouldn't. Alright, I promise" she said.
Kale nodded and left.
The vampire race and werewolf race had always been at war with each other.
The feud between them started when the males of the vampire race fed off blood from the females of the werewolf race and left for dead.
Besides, one of the females that had royal blood coursing through her veins was in this group of females that were drained of their entire blood to death.
This sparked up anger of the werewolf race.
When they arrived in the vampire kingdom, they asked for the vampires that did that. But the blood queen said no one like that in her kingdom would do such a thing.
She was given an ultimatum to produce the people in her race that did that or all hell would be let loose.
She failed to do so and then a great war began.
Since then, they turned great enemies of each other and only sought the destruction of the other.
That was what made the Blood Queen due to pressure she was facing from the werewolf race and the anger of the death of her people awaken a higher ability which caused the transformation of her hair.
She didn't stand from where she sat.
She remained there trying to calm herself. Her heart was seething.
Only kale went to meet the King of the werewolf race. When they exchanged pleasantries, he brought him in to the hall where Aria was.
When the king of the werewolf race saw Aria, his eyes shone with fury too. He almost made a move but he was stopped by Kale who held his hand.
Then he calmed himself and sat.
"Who do we have here?" He asked with a smile.
Aria looked at him and said nothing. She only hissed and turned her head away to face Kale.
Seeing no response, he turned his head away too to look at Kale.
"So what's the issue you have you want this mighty werewolf to settle for you?" The werewolf ruler asked.
"Adam. It's the people of the zohrrindane kingdom. They are back and may have requested for help from other races. So I called you guys here to help me" Kale said.
"Hmm. Alright." Adam, the ruler of the werewolf race said.
- Garden, Fey kingdom -
Sylla and Helena were holding hands and walking through a large garden at the back of the mansion.
"Sylla, it seems something is going on in your kingdom" Helena said.
Sylla looked at Helena and said "Yes. It's the people of the zohrrindane race. They are back"
Helena's eyes widened.
"They are back? Would they wage war against your kingdom again?" She asked.
"Yes. They would, I am certain of that. We fear they might have called upon other races to support them in destroying our kingdom" Sylla replied.
"Oh my. What's your dad going to do about this?" Helena asked in a bitter tone.
Were they going to destroy the only place she found solace again?
"Well, he has called upon other races to come lend us a hand in battle" Sylla replied.
"Alright. What races are those?" Helena asked curiously.
"It's the vampire race and werewolf race" Sylla replied.
"Vampire race and werewolf race? What are their abilities. Are they very powerful too?" she asked.
"Beings from the vampire race are called vampires and people from the werewolf race are called werewolves. The vampires are bloodthirsty beings. They can suck blood off any being from any race while the werewolf race share similarities with humans. We see them as humans with the ability to shift form from their human form to that of a wolf" Sylla replied.
"Vampires suck blood? What kind of race is that? Would they be powerful?" Helena asked.
"Vampires are really powerful. They have extreme speed and great strength. Just as you humans eat food for energy, blood is their source of energy. But not all of them feed off others for blood. They could also get blood from animals and beasts." Sylla replied.
"Hmm. Alright. What about the werewolf race? When they transform into wolves, they would look small in comparison to the zohrrindane race. Would their insignificant size be of any use in the incoming battle?" She asked.
Sylla laughed.
"They won't appear as wolves truly. They would look like wolves. That's why we call them werewolves and not wolves." She replied.
"Oh. Let's go see the people from the vampire and werewolf race" Helena said.
"Alright" Sylla replied.
Then they left the garden.
