An unusual situation was occurring at the vampire settlement, so much so that there had been a meeting called between the nine leaders. Just like before they were meeting in the large garden that was placed behind the castles and linked all of the castles together.
"I believe we all know why we are here." Hikel, the fourth family original and current leader of the 4th family stated. "This planet is not like the one that we were originally on, and it seems the beasts have grown not just stronger since our time, but also more intelligent."
"Is that a roundabout way of saying that the multiple hunting teams we sent out still haven't returned?" Edvard stated.
The original leaders were all looking at each other with concerned looks because it was true. They had all received similar reports and after that there seemed to be next to no communication from them.
