Salvatore had noticed what the vampire elves were up to, and so, to prevent them from carrying out their plans, he placed runes in all of their bodies.

The runes were in several parts of their bodies, and each of these runes was programmed to explode once a vampire elf reached the transcendent mage rank.

"The only ones left were those of us in rank nine or lower."

"Even after Salvatore died and the war ended, the runes on our bodies remained intact."

"We were forced to live our lives with the runes, as it constantly reminded us of what would happen if we were to increase our rank to the transcendent mage rank."
