Wine And Dine

The weather died our making the ship's trip easier.

The ship docked after a four day trip much more than Skyler and Evans had expected. Skyler couldn't wait to reach land bearly surviving the vomiting schedule.

Dardanos parted ways with them from there, he had to report back to the order about the vampires and they would hear from him in the next five days.

"Where from here?" Evans asked. Both man were standing in the middle of the dusty road leading to the city of tolido after walking a mile without "horses" Evans kept complaining the whole trip.

"We are heading to Corbin lands, a bit further from here, I have a friend there who might assist in what we are looking for"

"So you intent on walking us to our graves barefoot? How kind of you Skyler, really" Evans said rolling his eyes already walking ahead of Skyler kicking the rocks in his path.

"Not really, well stop by at Tolido to see if king Matthews arrived safely there" Skyler chuckled reaching towards Evans.

" You may go alone, I am not ready to face him, however I am glad if he survived but me and him will never be the best of friends" Evans waxms deep and rough in a polite way but sarcastic which made Skyler confused to whether he was trying to be rude and nice at the same time. He reached evans's walking paced and placed his hand on Evans shoulder patting it.

"We'll that is unfortunate because you will be staying there" Skyler whispered to Evans.

"What?" Evans stopped at that same time in disgust and puzzlement.

"Evans..we have no other choice but to try our lick on different locations and if we part ways like this it will be easier for us to find the scrolls faster"

"No...I refuse to become that man's servant" Evans yelled angrily throwing his arms in the air as if praying for mercy to god.

"how dare you ask me of such? I will not be a puppet to no one"

"Listen evans, you do MIT have to face him or show your face there or let him see you" Skyler sighed.

"You are asking me to break into the most we guarded palace in a the lands" Evans eyes winded in confusing.

"I do not think it will be a difficult task to.someone like you" he replied with a slight grin that seemed to ffend and anger Evans more.

"Are you trying to imply that I am a the if or convict of some sort " Evans asked his big eyebrow shrugged but he simply just sighed and walked again leaving Skyler to run after him again.

"You are not a theif..at least that I know of but your skills will pay off in this task" Skyler laughed that his chest started to burn but Evans said nothing which was unlike him.

Slowly the weather changed and a beatiful sunny day turned into blue black clouds and heavy drops of rain that seemed to hit like stones on the face and head but by that time Skyler and Evans had already been granted entrance to Tolido, the richest and biggest city in all the near lands markets on both sides selling food, weapons and pleasure but what caught Evan's attention was the bar.

Skyler noticed evans's interested and he quickly pulled him back..They both stood soaking wet in the middle of the busy and muddy road of Tolido that you'd literally be thrown of your feet if you weren't ad big and Skyler and evans

"What is it Noe? I deserve a little bit of relaxing once in a while, a little bit of wine and dine ey?" Evans smiled patting Skyler on the shoulder.

"Not for me, I have to for a horse and be on my way and as for you do not forget your purpose Evans and do not attract attention to yourself, who knows the might be vampires within these walls too." Skyler whispered looking around the busy streets around them.

"Do not tell me what to do I am vet aware of what my duty is, no go on and do as you please" Evans turned to walk away quickly disappearing into the small bar.

Skyler sighed and slightly shakes his head and turned to his own budinesd...but eyes were watching everywhere.

By midnight Evans was already drunk to the core and women climged to him like he was their god, and music filled the bar like shadows that crawl up when the light disappeared. On both sides women admired him, his short and now black hair and mascular body and his nicely cut beared he was now noticeable to every woman in the bar and all eyes were now on him, even the deadliest of eyes.

One of the ladies called him outside to the alley where it was quiet, Evans was bearly on his feet like a hungry puppy eager for his master's crumbs. As soon ad they were far from the bar the beautiful lady pulled Evan's mascular body towards her and began kissing him deeply, Evans responded clumsingly taking on her ice cold lips and too yellow eyes.

The kiss was no close to pleadury but just as Evans was aroused to the blink of agony aching to be inside the angel that was before him in his big arms a painful sting struck Evans right in the stomachthat he gasped and groaned at the same time,backing away dizzyingly to examine where the pain was coming from he saw an amount of liquid pouring from his shirt as dark as it was he could feel the liquid was coming out of him, he raised his head to see the woman still standing there with a slight grin on her face and when he lowered his head to her hand it was covered in blood, the long fingers and sharp nails were stained in red.

Evans slot fell on the ground trying to stand on his feet but the pain was too much " you little.." Evans mumbled as he continued to groan his other hand placed on his would.

"I apologize dear but those were the master's orders" The woam replied with a wicked naughty tone and with a blink of an eye she disappeared into the busy road of Tolido, leaving Evans helplessly on the ground alone in the dark alley to die.

Unable to stand or walj, Hus wound painfully bleeding, he slowly fell into oblivion into the dark rainy night that devoured him and colored the rain water red.

"Daddy! Daddy!" The young girl's voice echoed in his head filling the dark void , watching her and unable to save her. "Rose! No!" He shouted until he screamed awake.

He was sweating and panting heavily as if he had almost drowned in water, he was on his back, only seeing branches and wood poles crossing each other which in his opinion seemed as a roof and an old one to be precise. He tried to rise from his slumber and in an instant he groaned loudly at the sudden pain on the left side of his stomach, he quickly fell right back to the bed.

"D-damm! what the hell?" Evans placed his hand on the wound and felt it was wrapped probably bandaged, that's when it suddenly struck him and all his senses kicked in.He was stabbed last night by...by Oh that little wench! He was just about to shout those words out loud until the door opened and he shifted his attention to the person walking in.a slender red hair woman walked in and oh did she look stunning in red pants that seemed to big for her but fitted nicely and her short shirt that showed her pale white belly but covered her arms completely, she stopped and stared at him realizing he was staring she smiled a little showing her white teeth.

"Good, you have woken from your deep slumber, I was beginning to think I'll be having to turn down the king request to have you tonight" She spike in an Irish accent but as sweet arms her voice sounded , did she mention king?

"Excuse me? Turn down what?" Evans asked raising his head slowly as to not injure himself again.

"Well, you took quiet the beating last night, one of am bight crawlers got their hands on you huh? Found you in the alley at the blink of death and I took you in that's when the King's cart pulled over a few hours ago and the king demanded you dine with them tonight, I said you'd probably be awake anyway and you'd make it tonight" She spoke placing Evan's shirt jacket on the chair beside the bed.

"No no no I cannot make it, I have important matters to attend to-" He rose quickly to dress but the pain was unbearable that he groaned and cursed once more.

"East there big guy this ain't a battle dinasty you need to rest" She reached for him and lifted the pillow to lay his head comfortably there. "I'm Kristen by the way" She added with a smile.

"E-evans.." He murmured trying to bare the pain.

"Well Evans, I will accompany you to the dinner just to be sure you are in good hands"

"I am not going and I do not need to be taken care of you hear me lady?" Evans replied clearly angry by her offer. "I will be out and about in a minuet or two no need to worry" Evans added with a loud sigh.

"Do not be foolish, you go there as the king odered or you will be imprisoned" Kristen replied in a calm tone placing a wet cloth on Evans forehead.

"I will take my chances in prison then" He challenged.

"If you want the scroll you will need to be inside the castle not in a dungeon" She whispered.

Evans eyes winded as if his wound had struck again, he grabbed the woman by the neck his big hand covering her neck like a tree branch, she gasped in surprise trying to break free from his grip.

"How do you know? Were you spying on us you little wench! Speak!" Evans shouted aggressively that Kristen'sbheart pounded furiously trying to break out of his grip, Evans had already forgotten the excruciating pain in his wound.

"I-I can't breathe" she protested until Evans let go of her. She panted heavily not noticing how Evans grip had made her pale skin purple.

"Start speaking woman"

"I was...passing by the other night When I saw you and the blonde fella having a serious conversation so I decided to listen so that is how know" she replied still gasping for air.

"Do something like that again and I will break your little spine wench" Evans threatened already out of bed, he ignored the pain and out on his shirt and jacket, his Shirt was sewed up where he was stabbed clearly the works of the red haired wench GE thought putting on his boots.

"Take me to the so called dinner venue" Evans commanded already walking out of the room he ignored the old furniture and went to wait outside still limping trying not to feel the pain, he looked around only to see a forest around them.

Kristen came out after a few minuets later to bring out the two brown horses.

"Where the hell are we?" Evans asked.

"A place out of the grid" She answered picking her words carefully.

Evans noticed her sudden fear he grinned. "Do not fear me kristen, I will not harm you if you stay in your lane"

Both horses matches away and disappeared in the talk forest trees of Tolido.

To get the scroll he had to be in the castle and time was running out for danger was rising at every second their horses marched and slowly the end was near it was only a matter of time.

After his conversation with evans, that same day skyler had bought a a horse teadimg his amor for a horse and vegan his trip to Koda in the blistering raimy night thst seemef to weigh him down and slowly the darkness filled his surroundings as his black horse raced through the dark forest of Tolido.

Suddenly Skyler felt that he was not alone, it was dark and the rain poured heavily unto him and created noises that collided with his horse's movement but even though these noises were loud he could sense an intruder following him and fast.

He urged Hus horse to rum faster as it went it seemed as if the enemy gaged closer and closer until he could feel them close to him but could not see them.

I'm a blink of an eye Skyler was easily sent flying ly of his running hors3 and painfully hit the talk tree with his back and fell down, he slowly stood up still dizzy and his back ached painfully he would have thought blood would come out, he looked around and noticed his horse was already gone a d suddenly it was quiet. Slowly he pulled out his large sword scanning the area but he could not see anything with his human eye.

"Who are you? Show yourself!" Skyler shouted that his voice echoed the forest surroundings.

Noises started to appear near the branches, cracks and made noises that startled Skyler , a dark figure appeared, tall, skinny and down to its fingers were long sharp nails and slowly the figure came close to the moon's light. Instantly Skyler's heart dropped in horror, pale white skin, blood red eyes long sharp fangs appeared when he smiled through his red lips that seemed like blood, his long wet silky hair rested nicely on his shoulders and reached his chest on both sides which covered most of his facial features. He wore a long black and gold coat that reached his neck and below were black boots and red pants he was thin but taller but same height as Skyler, the poor man could not believe his eyes.

"Isn't this a wonderful night Skyler? trees the rain the nature" The stranger spoke in a husky but clean and daring voice, Skyler knew exactly how he knew his name, the vampire read his dumb mind.

"Who the hell are you?" Skyler shouted his voice pearcing through the rain.

"There is no need to shout I can gear you perfectly clear, apologies for cutting your little trip short but do not fear I will make this quick it will be painless" He hissed licking his red lips with his tounge hungrily, Skyler rose to his fighting stance and dared not to loose focus on the blood thirsty vampire.

But that was definitely no use, it took Skyler just a blink of his two eyes and he was right in front of him gazing straight at his eyes, Skyler's heart almost gave up on him and quickly the vampire grabbed Skyler by the neck and lifted his mascular body up like he was nothing, he dropped his sword trying to break his grip but his cold hand gripped tights than before.

"Do not fight the impossible human, I could kill you right now and make you my dinner but master would not like that at all, but he did not say you should be brought in one peace"

The vampire lsugjed a laugh tjat could kill a bird fkyng close by, his fangs appeared longer when he laughef and much bigger but suited his face like he was some hell god.

Skyler tried and kicked his legs back and forth but the vampire's grip was like steel ice bars clinged onto him around his neck that he could feel the blood filling his eyes and suddenly a loud noise sent Skyler falling on the ground gasping for air.

He could feel himself dying from the inside out, he could hear large growls appearing and right before his eyes a large Wolf bigger than any he had seen before or any creature to be precise it leaped towards the vampire and easily the camoire kickef it away, and two more appeared and ran afyer the vampire at the very same speed as the vampire had...Suddenly it was quietonly the barking of the wolves's sounds further away, Skyler shifted his attention to the wolf that was at taking before, he slowly crawled back as the beats's size started to decrease and sounds of bone cracking along with slight growls and there stood a human figure with his hand on his lower hip, he had no Shirt on just his psnts. It was dark but Skyler could see the young man approaching him until he stood right in front of him gazing down at him and off red his free hand to help Skyler up, his pull was strong for someone of his bone structure pulling a man as big as Skyler.

"Are you we sir?" The young man asked.

"Yes I have seen worse* But clearly not ad worse as this, he thought slightly rubbing his neck "what on earth are you?"

"I'm Tyler, a wolf shape shifter its a bloodline thing and it had been in my family for generations and that there was a vampire, surprisingly they are everywhere and we don't know from where"

"Shape shifter ey? I'm Skyler and I am very a war of their presence and ad puzxlef as you are I believe danger is coming, vampire presence had never been a good omen that is why I am in chelsa to seek guidance"

" ah so you are the man we were sent here to find" Yet snapped His fingers in relief.

"By who?" Skyler asked.

"King corbin, he feared you would also be a victim of those creatures" Tyler replied pointing to the direction of the vampure that once stood there.

"Well he was correct about that, As much as I would like to continue our conversation it is time we leave" Skyler concluded.

"Of course, follow me we found your horse not far from here.

The rain had laid by the time they reached the horse and unfortunately Tyler's so called pack came our empty handed, the vampire disappeared like a fog in the near waterfall, they continued with their trip which was due for them to arrive at dawn the next day.

B: Violance and unhealthy scenes.

{AZCAR}

"The scrolls! Where are the scrolls?" The black hooded man hissed angrily.

"I do not know...I swear on my life I have never laid eyes on them I swear!"BT he mam cried out in plead. He was chained both arms chained on both sides, he was on his knees in the middle of an open space dark hall that oy the light of the moon behind him showed light. His body was filled of scars and dripped of blood scratchedms and open sounds and almost rotten out flesh hanging over his bare skin the man was bearly alive on his knee he got beaten continuously that his own blood chocked on him and poured out of his mouth.

"There are three scrolls scattered across the lands and only the bookkeepers know of them, I know very wel you know where they are located, I can read your your mind but to only so far because you are blocking me!"

He slapped the man angrily that it left a large open wound scratches on his cheek and blood filled those gashes instantly, if it wrent for the chans holdimg him up he would have fallen lifelessly on the floor. He was hange there like laundry hanged for the wind to dry it out swinging back and forth.

"Y-you creatures are greedy..we gave you..life but you wanted my more" the chained man whispered, his words bearly coming out right.

The hooded man laughed his voice so loud it echoed the hall..he looked down at him in disgust.."you? Gave us life? how pathetic you are" He grabbed the man by his hair aggressively and tilted his head up to face him, his face was all red and swollen and his eyes were swollen that they couldn't open, the man was young probably on his twenties even behind the scars.

"Do you know what greed is? Let me show you" With his other hand he pierced his hand through the young mans chest breaking through his bones until his hand appeared on his back covered in blood, the young man gasped, his eyes swing open.

The man leaned closer to the young man's ear and whispered. "Now that is pure greed, now you know what death tastes like...human...let me hear you swear on your very life again" He pulled his hand out and walked away leaving the young man to bleed to death.

"A little honesty could have done you some good I would gave spared you mortal, do not fear for fear will indulge you faster than the wound that is killing you" He hissed and disappeared.

Time was running out and faster for both species and neither have done progress in their hunt, the prophecy will soon have to unravel. Fear in this world is not an option or taken into consideration unless you had your own ideas.

By the third full moon, what was done once will be done again and this time there is honor and betrayal.

"Just a little more time and all is going to be well, Once it was different but I will shape the future not once but twice as I have always done, you watch" The hissing voice echoed the woods like melodies seeking only what is precious to itself.h

The soul had been floating in that dark forest for centuries seeking a mortal to posses and once again awaken. It was only a matter of time until one answered his call and gave himself to him and he would be reborn.

Vampires were known to posses the bodies of living mortals in order to walk in day light, but through that process the vampire is valunarable to any harm that might occur to the human will them too however, when spirit of the vampire dwells for far too long in the body of a mortal, the body slowly dies and if the vampire does not come out then it will be trapped and die with the mortal body.
