Bonding, also The DARK PRACTITIONERS (ARCH) 1

Elias and Valentine could be seen in a room underground, It was finally time for the cape to bind with Elias, He placed the cape on top an altar as he brought out a silver knife, He stabbed himself in the heart, as blood started to flow freely, the blood started to drop on the cape as the token on the cape started to glow, Elias could feel his life force slowly draining, after three seconds he fainted.

*******In Elias mind*********

In an absolute dark room, where no light could penetrate, rose a tall throne of skulls and the one sitting on the throne looked more like Elias, but the difference was that this person body was pale, and his eyes were black with his pupils gold.

"Who are you, are you Dracula?" Elias asked the person sitting on the tall throne. "how impulsive, show some respect." The person on the throne said raising a finger from the throne arm rest as immediately Elias right arm fell off.

"Now I'll answer your question, I'm not dracula but rather the will of Dracula or the cape it self is part of me, I posses all the abilities, experience, weapons and fighting technique of dracula. It seems that you're a boy with strong will, you were able to overcome me then, now all that's left is to subdue me, you see being just a will, I greed for life, so here's two things, you fight me now and you die, or I borrow you my power and after three years we fight, if you win I'm yours forever but if I win, Your body is mine." The will of Dracula said with a cold stare that was able to send shiver down the spine of Elias.

"If I fight it now, I'll die before I even have the chance to blink, if I go for the second option i could learn my Necromancing powe combined with my vampire abilities, then I could have a fighting chance" Elias thought to himself. "please if I may ask,what's your name?" Elias asked this figure who then introduced himself as Zambimaru.

"Alright Zambimaru, fill me with your power!!!" Elias said as the figure smiled, it turned into a white trail of light flashing into Elias body as all the experience, ability and fighting technique of dracula surged through him. Elias opened his eyes with a smile on his face as he looked at his right hand. "Instant blood regeneration." Elias said as the fallen arm sprouted roots of blood from the place of cut and fused back to Elias limb.

"This power comes with a prize that I must pay, I must make the good use of it till three years from now, the tomb of Dracula awaits me." Elias said as he closed his eyes opening it back in the real world. "So how was it." Valentine asked upon seeing him waking up. "How about you feel it!" Elias said releasing his blood aura which filled the entire house.

"This is not the power of dracula silly, but it's yours, have you forgot that after bonding with the cape you'll evolve into a part ancestral vampire. If it was the full power of dracula I am afraid this house wouldn't have sill be standing, that's why I always seal my inherited power." Valentine said to Elias who them clenched his fist, he looked at the crest on his right hand and the seal on the left arm.

"Damn it, I'm itching to test out my powers, why don't cia attack again, after all she said she'll come back, oh well I could always try it out later." Elias said as he interlocked his hand behind his head, walking towards the exit, but soon stop, he looked back and asked Valentine about his blood beast. "This bonding had put a strain on your body if you do it now you might miss the chance forever, so why don't you go home and rest up, tomorrow is weekend we could do it then." Valentine said to Elias who the told her she was right, he was feeling pretty tired despite his body overflowing with powerful energy.

**********In a dark quiet room*******

A man could be seen sitting on a mat In a crossed legged position with his eyes closed as two people walked into the room. "What is it, how come you came empty handed?" The man asked opening his eyes. "The resources in the Serath districts have all been exhausted, there's no longer any human with a strong blood, the blood radar does not pick anything above two, all the blood level left are two and one." one of the two people who walked into the room said.

"Is the blood sucking orb still with you, if it is then move on to the next location, I've been feeling a strong blood around that area," The man said said as the two people rushed out of the room to carry out their orders as soon as possible. "These powers are driving me crazy, I had no idea human could posseses such power, we dark practitioners would be the next generation of humans." The man previously in the room said as he stretched his hand towards a black bowl that was filled with blood absorbing a little portion of the blood in the bowl.

"When those two return, maybe I'll give them a little present, because of them I was able to reach the first level of the black heart class, maybe their own blood could make

me reach the second or third, after all they're both practitioners In the fourth level of inhuman class." The man said with an evil laugh.
