Back home

The Men took a walk down the hall, leading to the living room. The walls were glorified with Murals and portraits, Each side passage they came across led to myriad Rooms and Chambers.

"Any words from my siblings," Talon asked through gritted teeth.

Harold glows at him before making a response "Not at all young master... Not a word" Noticing an unusual tone underneath, Harold force a smile on his face.

"At least he cares" The words rang in Harold's ears, They halted when they made their way into the large living room.

Talon's Eyes widened in shock, 'happened he asked in silence. The living room was emptied unlike before. A thousand years ago, the living room was their pride, a place like a paradise with Incorporate layered lighting, large-scale art on the walls, luxurious textures, high gloss paint, exquisite metallic vase, elegant curtains... High ceilings and. And...

"What happened?" Was all Talon could mutter, he couldn't comprehend the fact that if the change is constant, it applies to Vlad's family too, right now all he could see is a worn-out expanse with everything fading off.

What happened to Vlad's family? It's been a while though.

Talon turned briskly to Harold, "Where is my mother?"

"She's in the..." Harold wasn't able to complete his words, as Talon rushed out in a haste. Going to the garden where he usually finds his mother..when he was still a hundred years old.

Hopefully nothing Gardenically change but what makes the garden gracious was gone..his mother.

"How can she not be here..this is her favorite spot in the whole villa" He growled.

"Everything's changed, young master.Everything." Harold mutter taking light steps closer to Talon.

"She's in the Armoury" Harold whispered and in a fast swift..young master Talon was gone.

*The Armoury*

Ricasso! The sound of a sword unsheathing whistles loudly as it cuts through the air. A lady with Pure silk white hair that length on her knees, Red eyes, and a mole on the upper lip. She stretches forth her sword and swung it, she transmits the sword backward with a span trajectory.

Just in time Talon appeared and took hold of the sword before it gets to pin on the wall. She huffed and walked away to the other end then sat down on the bench, she take down a note regarding her performance.

Her hair was styled In a very simple fashion her red eyes are dark like blood. Her slender figure is so attractively thin and graceful, with delicate wrists and ankles. Making her look so young like a 30-year-old female.

"Mother..." Talon Called.

She didn't bustle to take measures but just focused on writing like she didn't hear any sound. Not comfortable with her attitude, Talon snatch the paper she was writing on, considerable insensibility from her.

She hit the table causing it to split apart, looking gaze with her son, he could feel the fierce hunger for vengeance and hatred for what happened many years ago.

"Moth.." Before he could complete his words, he felt himself in mid-air flying across the large room. He hit the bare wall tough. He didn't get to glance twice or understand the situation before he felt pain In his gut!

She knees him to the ground, grabs his head, and unsheathes a small knife from her leg, ready to slit his throat but suddenly felt numb. She collapsed.

Talon caught her just in time before she fell and place her gently on the floor, still amused he raise his head to glance at a presentation in front of him.

Without thinking he attacked the presence in front of him, pinning the pear-shaped girl against the wall.

"Please let me go" The girl struggled to speak, she lock gaze with Talon, and she could see the intense shock in his eyes and his aura was dark, deep, and angered.

"You're hurting me" she cried out when she felt his sharp nails piercing through her skin. Seeing the unknown girl in pain he reluctantly goes. She immediately stumbles to the ground feeling too weak in her legs.

Not minding the lady he just attacked, Talon rushed to his mother's side, he shook her vigorously calling unto her but she didn't make a move, her breath was slow and steady like she has been put to bed.

"What did you do to my mother" he shot the unknown girl a dangerous glare.

"...?"

"You dare!...." he use his speed to launch another attack on the weak girl lying on the ground, but just before he could touch her, someone blocked his way. It was Harold.

"She's nice..." Harold pause, he clear his throat before continuing "She just help calm madam, Madam has lost her sanity after you and your siblings moved on. She has maintained her strength for Vengeance, and all she does is train harder, and draw maps. Make new fighting techniques without breaking, for a thousand years"

"For a thousand years. Why? Why Is she holding onto the past, we all agreed to move on... Just why" Talon questioned briskly.

"Perhaps it was harder than we thought for her, there's more than the eyes meet" Harold breathe out.

"How long is she going to be like that" Talon's eyes creased, he couldn't bare to see his mother like that, "Whenever she acts like this..."

"She will be put to sleep immediately... It's been going on like this for a thousand years, young master" Harold answered lowering his head.

"By her?" Talon drawled. As he heads up to the girl who was still lying on the floor, seeing Harold nods his head. He scoffs and arcs back to his mother.

Lifting his mother, he glances back"Now that am back, your present is no longer needed young maiden, I'll take over from here" With that, he left leaving Harold and the unknown maiden speechless.

"Ahh," the girl sizzles as she tinges on the surface of her neck. She bit her bottom lip angrily.

'What the hell, he didn't even apologize for the attack. How inhumane! she use her hand to hit the ground.
