"I won't mention the sincerity I showed by keeping you safe. That doesn't matter, and it could just be a ploy to deceive you. But you don't have a choice about going underground."
It continued disdainfully, "The wood elves are currently busy with a meeting. Their Sovereigns are tied up in the meeting while their origin gods are trying to reclaim the planar portal, and their titans are protecting their cities. They will have time for you when the meeting is over. We don't know when the meeting will be over, but it can happen anytime soon. You will have Sovereigns chasing you when that happens. So you either try your luck underground or surely get killed on the surface."
Ragnarok sighed. He said, "You win."
"I always win." The demon god retorted smugly.
Ragnarok didn't argue anymore. He decided to go to the crater. It is the closest entry into the underground that is big enough to contain his size. He has roamed the surface hiding and running for 10 years just to get to this place. He found several entrances on his way, but they were too small for him to go through.
He can't control the size of his body currently because of his scrambled existence. So he has to go through here and try his luck as the demon god said. It is just very difficult for him to feel safe when there is a primogenitor guarding the crater.
The last Primogenitor that he met put him in this unpleasant situation in the first place. He might just be walking to his doom. Unfortunately, things are as the demon god said. He doesn't have much of a choice if he wants to live. It is uncertain if the Vampires will kill but it is certain that the wood elves will not be satisfied until he is dead without any traces left.
He is in the faction of the Vampires now. That means the wood elves will kill him on sight. He was already on their kill list as a Warrog, but the fountain of life was not actively trying to kill him back then. Now the fountain of life is apparently actively trying to kill him. He can't seem to escape from the wood elves chasing him. They always find him no matter where he goes. He could never have survived to this point without the help of the Vampires.
"Here's to hoping that the Vampires will continue to be helpful," he said as he drew close to their area of surveillance.
It grates on him to rely on someone else for protection. It pains him to be at the whims of others and to hope for goodwill and luck to keep him safe. But he doesn't have a choice. So he didn't change his mind and turn away from the crater. He didn't run when the Vampires noticed him. He stayed still while they responded to his presence.
About a thousand Vampires surrounded him quickly. They all look identical. They are different in shape and size, but they all have the same face as if they are siblings. Their glaring red eyes trying to bore a hole into him didn't unnerve him as much as the similarities in their looks. The weirdness of the situation only increased when they spoke at the same time.
They said the same thing in different voices. "Welcome, Ragnarok, to my humble abode. I hope that my hospitality will please you."
Their different voices blended into a single harmonious voice. It sounds like a symphony of sound and would be considered soothing and pleasant to listen to by others. But Ragnarok considered it eerie and creepy.
He grumbled inwardly, "So you told her that I was coming."
"It is to ease your passage through her territory," the demon god said.
"What else did you tell her about me?" He asked.
The voice in his head chuckled mysteriously.
Ragnarok snorted inwardly. Then he said to the Vampires, "I thank the Emperiti Primogenitor for her hospitality."
The Vampires asked, "Am I correct to assume that the Supreme Of Carnage told you about myself and my situation?"
"Yes. I am also sure that it told you about my situation too. You probably know all my secrets now."
The Vampires tried to alleviate his fears, "I have been informed about your situation. But that is no reason to be afraid. There is no need to be cautious around me. We are both Primogenitors, and the Supreme of Carnage obviously has great plans for you, so no Vampire will harm you."
He lied, "I don't feel that I am in danger. In fact, I feel safe already."
"Good. I want you to feel safe. The Supreme of Carnage said that you have trust issues."
He grumbled inwardly to the demon god, "How am I to trust you when you tell people things about me without my knowledge or permission?"
But he smiled and said to the Emperiti Primogenitor, "Surely you understand why I don't trust anyone. I have had to run around and escape danger for more than 10 years. It has been a harrowing situation for me which all started because the father who I should be able to trust found me and turned my pack upside down. It turned out that I was right not to trust him. All he ever did for me is to bring me trouble."
"Your cautiousness is understandable. But you have nothing to worry about here. You are among friends," they said to him at the same time.
All of them spread their arms wide in a welcoming gesture. They even smiled to show just how harmless they are. The Emperiti Primogenitor must have thought it would make him less agitated. She is very wrong.
Ragnarok simply smiled and nodded. He didn't let his agitation get the better of him so he didn't run away. If he didn't have a choice, he wouldn't want to be anywhere near the Emperiti Primogenitor of all vampires. Being around any Primogenitor is bad enough. Being around the Emperiti Primogenitor is just plain terrifying.
