Guardian's Power

"CLAN LEADER MARA makes her entry!"

The Low, medium and some high-level Vampires greet her in unison.

"HAIL CLAN LEADER MARA!"

Every step she took, it was as if there was a tightness in her breasts.

She didn't notice that her dress had a tail hidden and the moment she stood out in front of all the people in the hall her dress turned into a princess cut with a long tail, the red tail is as long as 4 meters.

Every step she took emitted an aura that was not part of her, but to others around her, it belonged to her.

Her Guardian, whose name has remained forgotten for centuries and centuries, has been the guardian of the Supreme Leader.

In the past, he belonged to a Superior Clan, which to date is still unknown and which has been a taboo for millennia, after millennia.

The fact that it is a Superior Clan, shows that it is far above the supernatural beings, which believe themselves to be the most powerful, but this specific Clan is more powerful than an Alpha Lycan, or a Vampire Leader, or as the Patriarch of the human Clan that possessed the Flame of Power, or as the Fairy Queen; the Elves' Chief, or as the King of the Spirits, or as the Demon King, or as the best warrior of the Angels.

In short, they are above all, ruling over every supernatural creature, but their name was forgotten, their houses ceased to be worshiped, and only a very few remain, who have been mingled in the midst of the supernatural world.

Choosing a Master to serve under. Being a woman or a man, he received the name of Guardian.

But the true meaning of that title remains unknown.

The reason they seek to serve someone is that that person or creature must possess an extraordinary latent power, which can make them submit.

It is said that this was the same power that made them disappear in the annals of history.

The guardian of Mara has been sleeping in the "Golden Coffin." So, it is called that way, because he can sleep for a millennium in there, prior to awakening, the only way to wake up is to have a special power activated in its first phase.

The power of the red cloud that Mara possesses in her subconscious is that kind of power.

When this power made contact with Mara, the Guardian in the coffin awakened, knowing that the catastrophe could be repeated once again.

But she needed to wait, she needs to make him submit to her, that's the reason she needs to train and become stronger and claim to be the Guardian's Master.

Returning to Mara.

Mara, ignorant of what everyone in the room was thinking, just kept moving forward, listening to the shouts and praises of the low-level vampires.

The more she advanced, the closer he got to a Black Door, with crimson lines, it is said that each line represents a vein of the blood of the Vampires, this marking the beginning of the Ceremony.

The Ceremony begins before the funeral; it's done this way because only the new Leader had the right to see the old one departs.

As they approached four meters before the door, Mara stopped, on the right side there was an Elder, who did not belong to any faction or even to the Council, he was the so-called 'Bearer', he's called that way, because he is the only one who can carry the key of the door to the throne of the Clan.

It is said that this 'Bearer' has been sitting on the right side of the door for millennia.

Seeing little Mara approach, he stood up, bowed to her, acknowledging her status and her right to pass the Door, but before that he had to do something first.

The Elder began speaking, "Clan Leader Mara, whose true name must be kept hidden..." After a brief pause, he continues...

"In order to pass through the Gate of Destiny, you must leave five drops of your blood." He said patiently and seriously.

The others saw that the Elder was speaking seriously, something that had not happened for centuries, with the previous Leader Lana, she was not asked to shed five drops, one was enough, and the Elder did not tell her name, as he has done with little Mara.

What stunned them the most was that he mentioned the name of the gate. "The Gate of Destiny."

Some Elders started to murmur...

"Gate of Destiny? What is that?"

"Did that come out in the story?"

"No, I don't think so, if it had, I would have remembered reading it."

"What is the Elder 'Bearer' saying? Why five drops?"

And so, the solemn silence was broken.

"SILENCE!" Someone exclaimed.

The silence was quite overwhelming, for it was not only the power of the word but the pressure that came with that word.

No one present possessed such power.

Some knelt because such power was too much for them to bear, but others bowed their heads, uncomfortable and struggling to avoid falling to their knees.

They all knew each other's ability so the only one who could have the ability was the 'Bearer'.

They were all dumbfounded! Furthermore, they couldn't believe that the one with such power could make them, the Council of Elders, bow their heads!

But to some, this was nothing bad, it was just the show of power and ability that the 'Bearer' of the door to the throne of the Vampire Clan has.

The only one who was unpressed, cool, and even confused, 'Why is everyone kneeling, throwing themselves on the ground or bowing their heads, trembling?' Little Mara innocently thought.

The Elder 'Bearer' watched her and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. 'Good thing she wasn't affected... otherwise, that creature would be upset, I don't want to face him.'

"Clan Leader Mara, you possess the aura of the Guardian who is in charge of protecting your soul and your life. But you must show him what you are capable of, to gain his approval faster." He said patiently to the confused Mara.

"They..." he said as he pointed with scorn and disdain to those who were trembling and submissive, "They are instinctively afraid, of the power and aura I possess, but you are not, and it is for two reasons..."
