89 The Hunt

"Let's go Reiya," Dro said to the girl standing by his side. She nodded her head, "Yes, master." She nodded her head and followed Dro through the <Blood Gate>. When they both walked out on the other side, Dro cursed under his breath.

"I forgot to ask her to identify the items" Dro shook his head, "Well no matter. I will do it later." Dro turned his head and looked at the direction of the city, "No Werewolves to greet us?" He smirked, "Let's go," Reiya nodded to his words and the two walked towards the city depths.

Dro walked through the silent city. This time when he walked through the streets of the city Dro couldn't hear a single howl. He couldn't hear a single beast in the vicinity. Dro didn't know that at this very moment his movements were watched by six werewolves each one stood on a different tower and they watched him from five kilometres away from each one. Each of the six kings was too prideful.

<Ancient Vampire Castle>

Niju run through the gate and he howled, "Gather the kings, gather the kings." With his howl, the other werewolves went to their pack leader and in no moment the six were gathered. Each one of the six stared down at Niju.

"Why have you gathered us, king Niju?" One werewolf king asked.

"Not together with your brother, Riyu?" Another werewolf king asked.

All werewolves looked at Niju waiting for his answer. Niju looked at the six werewolves before speaking, "I bring grave news." Other werewolves frowned and one of them asked, "What grave news?"

"My brother king Riyu and king Crowrey are both dead." He raised his eyes at the others, "They have been killed." The werewolf king looked at each other and they asked in unison, "Who killed them?" Niju gulped down his saliva and he lowered his eyes, "They were killed by Vampires."

One of the kings frowned, "How could have a Vampire invasion gone unnoticed. How many of them were there?" Niju looked at the kings and replied, "There were two."

The other looked at each other and one of them inquired, "Two? Don't tell me the Queen of Vampires made her move?" Niju shook his head, "No it was not the Queen. It was the Vampires that I have not seen before."

They looked at each other again and they all burst into laughter. Niju was shocked to hear the laughter he howled, "Why are you laughing?" One of the werewolves stopped himself and he replied with a smile, "It is funny. Crowrey killed the last Vampire King himself. How could he die to a mere Vampire? If anyone could kill him it would be either the four progenitors combined or the Vampire Queen herself."

The other Werewolves nodded their head, "That's right." They all though in their minds. Niju clenched his fists, "He really did die and so did my brother." The other werewolves looked at shook their heads. One of the werewolves replied, "If what you say is true." He broke into a smile, "Then I can have a proper challenge. I have missed the open war that we once fought with the Vampires and now one of them is at out doorstep challenging us? Attacking him together would be too easy. I will fight him alone."

The other five werewolf kings all stared down at him and they all said in unison, "No! It I that will fight him." They all looked at each other and they started to bicker in front of Niju.

"You can't underestimate him. We should kill him together and be done with it." The others looked at him with contempt. One of the werewolf kings said, "I will deal with the Vampires." They once again started to bicker. Niju was shocked by what he was seeing. He couldn't believe that instead of dealing with the threat all of them wanted to fight the Vampire themselves.

"What is going on here?" An aged voice came from the distance. The werewolves looked at this voice and they all kneeled to the ground, "Ancestor!"

A werewolf with fur completely white entered the room. His one eye was slashed and his body full of visible scars. Niju seeing the ancient ancestor looked at him and spoke, "Ancient ancestor there are twp Vampires that killed both Crowrey and my brother Riyu. The other six kings instead of dealing with this threat are fighting for a chance to fight the Vampires. We have to dispose of them together. The kings hearing the words of Niju all stared daggers at him.

The ancestor nodded his head, "I see" He smiled, "Let's do this the city is large I will split it into six regions. And which king takes on the Vampires will be decided by the region the Vampires walks in what do you think?"

The other kings nodded their heads and each one spoke a few words in agreement. Niju was dumbfounded by what he heard, "I won't fight those Vampires alone. They are too dangerous they killed both Crowrey and Riyu. I won't fight them. The werewolf ancestor looked at the werewolf, "You disappoint me. Where is your pride as a werewolf king."

The werewolf ancestor moved and with a single hand impaled the werewolf. If Dro saw this he would see that in this single attack the ancestor did more than one billion damage. The other werewolves didn't say a word. They stared at the ancestor.

"There will be five regions now. Bring me the map, I will appoint the territories," The Werewolf ancestor said. After a few more moments the ancestor split the city into five territories and he looking at the werewolves spoke, "Happy hunting."

The other werewolves all smiled in unison and they all howled before disappearing.

<*Present*>

Dro not knowing that he was now considered a target for the hunt absent-mindedly walked the empty streets of the olf Vampire capital. Dro took another step forward and the eyes of a werewolf king glowed as he howled and roared, "You are now standing in the middle of my territory. You will not escape Vampire!"
