New Life.

Matheus' sword, had managed to kill the two vampires. Slashed right at the weak vampires' chests. The rest, Matheus finished off quickly. With one slash, the remaining vampire's head lay in a pile of white snow.

Matheus made sure all were dead. He left after that, ignoring the corpses of the vampires. Because, the vampires will soon turn to ashes and disappear in the wind. He continued to walk looking for a safe place to raise Hermes.

Then Argos, he was very angry with his men that none of them found Matheus and Hermes. He was very anxious, worried about the future that the clan of wolves still remained. It's possible that Hermes will kill all the vampires on the plains of Europe. Especially Austria.

He threw the golden cup in Argos' hand, causing red liquid to splatter on the floor. Argos clenched his fists and couldn't blame anyone. Because, all the men who chased Matheus died. "One day I will find you, Matheus, Hermes. I will kill your clan until no one is left including you," Argos threatened to himself. He was determined to wipe out all the clans in this world.

Four hundred years later.

Day after day continued to be passed by Matheus and Hermes. Not just one place, but several places he has occupied. Always moving around so that Argos and his men wouldn't find him and Hermes. Until in a strange place, Matheus inhabits a place that he thinks is safe. It was there that he began to take care of Hermes, teaching Hermes many things. From very simple things to how he defends himself from enemy attacks, especially the Vampires.

They have been through everything, everything has changed, their surroundings that were once forests and caves have now become high-rise and towering buildings. Development is everywhere. Very rapid progress both in science and technology.

Hermes grew into a handsome and dashing young man. He never aged even though he never sucked blood. Yes, the werewolf nation also sucks blood once in a while. Precisely every full moon. However, both Matheus and Hermes agreed not to suck human blood at any time. They only prey on and drink the blood of wild animals they find in the forest.

Unfortunately, many forests have been displaced to build a magnificent city. Matheus and Hermes had to be expelled from their natural habitat, namely the forest.

Hermes sat on the top floor of an abandoned building that had not been used for a long time. His eyes scanned the ground below. Every day, he always did that after he finished hunting. However, today he was unlucky. He did not find any game to drink.

"Beautiful night, isn't it?" Matheus' voice startled Hermes. The blue-eyed youth turned his head and then smiled very sweetly.

"Yes, although the truth is very bitter!" Hermes replied back looking at the road which was quite busy on a snowy day like today. Matheus smiled bitterly. This is because food supplies in the forest near urban areas have run out. Only the little rats are left, the blood is very bitter and fishy.

Matheus sat beside the prince who was once very funny and cute, now a handsome and strong figure. His eyes looked at the sky full of stars and the moon full circle. Today should be the time for them to hunt and enjoy the hunted blood. But they gave up when the wild animals had been eaten. Besides that, they don't want to make a fuss by drinking the blood of the local people's livestock.

"Yes, but at least we're not ruining the plight of the people in the city or in this village," Matheus said. Hermes did not answer Matheus' words. He just focused on looking down. It's better than looking up at the sky. "Like King Cronos, your father!" Hermes glanced briefly at Matheus. He glared, this was the first time Matheus had told him about his father. He tried to listen to Matheus' story even though his mind was very disturbed by the smell.

Suddenly he smelled a fragrance that made him lulled to smell a different smell than usual. This was the first time he smelled this fragrant and delicious smell. "Good blood!" Hermes said. Then his eyes searched for the origin of the smell from above. His eyes roamed the people passing by below. "I have to find him," Hermes said.

He jumped from the 20th floor, "prince, where are you going?" shouted Matheus standing up. Hermes ignored the screams of his guards. "It's terrible, if he goes alone, the vampires might know where Prince Hermes and I are," he thought, then followed Hermes down.

Hermes seemed to be sniffing, his wolf instincts rose instantly as the sweet smell wafted through his nostrils. "The smell is coming from around here, but where it is from?" Hermes thought. He once again sniffed the origin of the fragrant smell that continued to disturb his smell as well as his mind.

"Prince, we must return! It is too dangerous for us to come out of hiding," said Matheus. But still not in the attention of Hermes. He is more obedient to smell and his steps are looking for the owner of the fragrant body that his sense of smell is feeling. Matheus followed Hermes from behind and kept asking Hermes to come back.

Not far away, Hermes' feet stopped walking. He felt the smell more and more. "Matheus, do you smell this very sweet smell?" Hermes asked. Matheus tried to study Hermes' words, he smelled the smell Hermes said. But not the slightest smell wafted by his nose.

"Sorry prince, I didn't kiss thats smell?" Matheus replied that he didn't smell like Hermes at all.

"Is Imposible if you don't smell the scent, this smell is very good. The smell is also very tantalizing and this smell is getting closer," Matheus sniffed once more. But still the smell did not catch his nose. Matheus was confused, what smell Hermes smelled that he was so obsessed with it.

Matheus sniffed once more. But still the smell did not reach his nose. Matheus was confused, what smell Hermes smelled that he was so obsessed with it. He scratched his head.

Hermes continued on his way. Leaving Matheus still trying to smell Hermes' scent. The result was nothing, Matheus could not smell the scent.

Actually, what scent did Hermes smell?
