Jealousy

Miguel set sail to venture into the rest of the world. This time, he kept an open mind to everyone's differences in culture, practices, and beliefs. Some countries left him in awe, others left him with a heavy heart. 

It was an adventure, to say the least. 

It took him years to return to his motherland, bringing the tales from the outside world. However, what Miguel had forgotten was that the mainland was unlike any other in the rest of the world. 

Each country might have its own differences and unique characteristics, but there was always a redeeming quality. Not all kingdoms were reigned by peace or unity, but all those kingdoms only shared one fate: disaster. 

It reminded him of what the mainland was like. This vampire's nest might appear quiet and peaceful, but it was far from that. Starting from the goods in the market down to the strict hierarchy everyone was following, there was no real freedom.
