The War of the Two Pillars

Much depended on Wain's response. He could either ignore Vlad's offer or accept it, and each decision had its pros and cons.

If Wain were to join the vampires, it would mean feuding with the angels, at least a certain portion of them.

Wain smiled predatorily and said, "I've fought an angel once before, and that encounter left me with a bad impression. Though it was a condition of our deal, you helped me and kept your word. I will do the same in return."

Vlad smiled, and red lightning flashed in his eyes. He spread his arms apart and proclaimed, "Great! Then let's go and show the angels that they made a grave mistake in attacking us. Ellen, you stay with your mother and Lucian. It's not up for discussion."

The girl nodded. Though Ellen was the older sister, she was much weaker than Ena. Lucian wanted to join the fight, but he knew that it was a bad idea in his condition.
