46. Rite of Claiming 3

"You can't be serious Julian. Boris is going to tear you into two with his strength alone." Marcus would say to his brother in disbelief of the fact he wished to accept the older vampires challenge.

"I am serious Marcus. This is Myst we are talking about. I am not going to sit back and just accept, that she has to deal with someone that she doesn't want to be with the man she is stuck with." Julian would sigh as he stared at his brother. "Trust me. The last thing I want to do is fight Boris."

"Then don't accept his challenge" Marcus would bluntly say to his older sibling. He truly didn't want to see his brother beaten into the ground, or worse. Possibly die. All over a girl. It was a harsh thought for him to have, and he knew it. Even if he had been raised alongside Myst.

Knowing deep down that she deserved better was a common talk amongst the others in the manor. From the older vampires, to those around Dravens age.
