London

The Griffin was defeated, and his power had transferred to Zack .

The magic barrier had collapsed with the death of the Griffin ,and Louise rushed to Zack, who was kneeling on the ground taking deep breaths , Zack was exhausted .

His body had healed from his injuries, Zack felt an overwhelming sense of tiredness , he had been through a lot in the last few days.

"My king I can open a portal back to the human world where you can feed and rest" said Ninx.

"How ?you said before that you could not open a portal to Arcadia " said Louise.

"That is correct I can not open a portal to come to Arcadia , the only way to get to Arcadia is through the natural gateways.

However I can open a portal to leave Arcadia"said Ninx.

Ninx raised his arms and once more gathered power, magic came from all around him and mingled with his own, bright blue flames appeared at his fingertips.

Ninx spoke the words of power in the dark tongue. Reveille. Portalis. Apri Lanuam Add.Terram.

The words spoken by Ninx in the dark tongue, in the common tongue or as the human race believes is the English language, are simply ,reveal the portal open the door to earth.

The common tongue had been spoken throughout the known universe, for hundreds of thousands of years, the language was introduced to the humans, by various species, from many worlds down throughout the centuries.

They would become the creatures of myth and legends ,throughout human history.

Some of the legends and myths were true, some were not, some of the creatures of mythology are real, some are not .

Some of the creatures of myth are real, and have interacted and influenced the human race, such as Vampires , Werewolves, the Fae or the fairy race ,to name but a few .

Suddenly the fire shot forth from the fingers of Ninx,the moment he spoke the last word of power ,the fire formed a shimmering pool of blue flame, and the portal opened, the Fairy Glen on the Isle of sky could clearly be seen through the portal ,the group stepped through the portal together, and a moment later the portal closed behind them, the group slowly made their journey back towards the car. Zack was exhausted, so Louise drove the car and Zack fell asleep in the passenger seat ,Nyla and Ninx sat in the backseat ,on the journey back towards the ferry .

"We need to get some blood for the king, he will need it, he has been through a lot"said Ninx.

The ferry had arrived ,and down at the docks a crime was being committed .

Louise and Nyla had left the ferry ,immediately after boarding they left the ferry without being seen, the Dark Elf and the vampire were on the hunt for blood .

In the shadow of a large dock side warehouse, two men were arguing over a drug deal that had not gone to plan .

Suddenly one man pulled out a gun, and shot the other man in the head ,he fell with a thud and hit the ground dead.

Suddenly two women appeared from nowhere, and in a blink of an eye

Louise grabbed the man ,and snapped his wrist and the gun fell from his hand ,she grabbed him by his head and held him tight, he was in a grip of supper human strength, he was in the grip of a vampire, he was going nowhere he could not move, Louise bit his neck her fangs tore into his throat, and the sweet wickedness in his blood poured down her throat,all the evil things he done had added to the taste of his blood, the more evil the more Louise would find enjoyment ,she stopped drinking the blood, and gathered as much as she could into the flask that Ninx had provided her with.

Nyla had drunk the blood of the man who had been shot ,and stored some blood in a flask as well.

Louise grabbed the bodies ,and placed one on top of the other ,then she gathered magic into her hand, and suddenly fire completely covered her hand ,she threw the fire at the bodies, and in seconds they were turned to ashes and blown away by the wind.

The girls returned to the ferry and gave blood to Zack and Ninx ,shortly afterwards the ferry left the Isle of sky.

Zack had received the blood, and energy was flowing through him, he was tired but no longer exhausted.

The group had left the ferry and were heading back towards London .

Louise was driving and Zack slept in the passenger seat ,he slept so well, that he didn't wake until they had arrived in London,they had driven for hours and the whole time he had been asleep.

Louise headed for The Four Seasons Hotel at Park Lane.

" The Four Seasons this place is pricey , but we have plenty of money in our cases, so I thought why not "said Louise.

" I like your thinking and style ,you were born to be a Vampire, I think it suits you my dear" said Zack .

Louise could not help herself and blushed, which brought a small smile to Zack's face .

The group checked into the hotel .

They had a room each, and yet somehow they had all ended up in Zack's room ,and were now making plans to have some fun for the next few days, before moving on to their next quest to recover the king's ring.

The group went to the west end, the theatre district and attended several plays, they dined at fancy restaurants, they had gone shopping at Harrods and brought more clothes .

Zack knew he had a lot to do to reclaim his throne ,and he was going to need a place in the human world ,a large place so he could grow his army.

He knew he had his loyal legion of dark elves,but he knew he would need a lot more soldiers , and the best way was to make a Vampire army ,he would turn those he found worthy like Louse into Vampires to be commanders.

All those he turned ,would turn others that would fill the ranks of his army .

When he was ready ,Arden Shadowbrook would pay for his treachery and betrayal.

Zac would need more money a lot more, and just as before when he wanted money, he would take it from those that were wicked .

Zack would begin by finding the wicked ,and hunting them he would take their wealth and assets from them and their lives .

Zack thought he would need some help from some humans ,to help with finding him the property that would best suit his needs, it would have to be a large property,with lots of land, and the more secluded the better .

Zack planned to raise an army , an army of Vampires, and have his trusted legion train them .

Zack knew he had to be very cautious, if Arden Shadowbrook was to learn of Zack, before he could regain his full power and strength ,Arden would easily defeat and kill him ,and the army under the command of the shadow king, was to large and powerful a force for the Dark Legion to handle by alone.

Zack's mind had been planning the whole time ,while he had been enjoying the time he spent together having fun with his friends .

After five days of fun, it was time to start putting the plans he had been working on into action.

His first visited a top Barrister and using his powers of persuasion, he hypnotized the man into writing a contract, a transfer of ownership of assets ,that was completely legally binding

Upon the signing of the document .

Zack left the office of a confused man he had no memory of meeting Zack or writing the contracts for him to use to take control of the assets of the wicked he would target .

Zack used his powerful senses to track down the wicked he could almost see wickedness, it did not take him long to track down a criminal organization that had millions in assets and cash .

Zack planned to make them sign over everything that they owned ,and then he would kill them all.

Zack would be closer to his goal, and the world would be a better place without the wicked scum, so he had no problem with killing them, no problem at all,in fact in his mind it was just the right thing to do .

The group followed Zack through the streets of London .

Zack was following his senses, and they were leading him towards a very expensive apartment building.

Zack could smell the wickedness, and it had lead him and his group ,straight to the home of the head of one Londons biggest crime syndicates .

" Ninx fill the streets with fog ,and silence the area ,I have no wish to disturb the neighborhood,let's make sure the screams aren't heard shall we " said Zack.
