A Scam
While Quinn was in deep thought about the message he had just received, standing by his side Fex was now starting to act a little strange. He had now had the time to properly analyse the weapon in front of him.
"Have I seen something like this before?" Fex said out loud. "Maybe the first leader had something like this, but if that's true, what the hell is something like that doing here?"
"You know what type of weapon this is then?" Quinn asked.
"Maybe, honestly I'm not sure, I think I saw one of the other vampire families carry around something like this, but often the families kept secrets from each other. Everyone would hide their power and then when the king relinquished their seat, that was the time when everyone revealed their cards.
"Maybe one of the other leaders knows something more about this weapon, but at least out of all the kids around my age, I have never seen anything like this."
