The Dhampir Urge
Without a doubt, what Layla was looking at right now was the Boneclaw. One of the Four Kings of the Familiar World. Once again, someone she hadn't seen in a long time had stirred long-forgotten memories.
'The Boneclaw…he was initially linked with Quinn. But when Quinn went into slumber, this Familiar left him. Later, the vampires were less and less inclined to use Familiars due to all the deaths that kept occurring with them.
'I heard the rumours but didn't think it would be true. What do Erin and Quinn have in common for them both to be able to link with the Boneclaw?' Layla thought.
Staggering a bit, Layla could see that her vision had faded slightly. It was not because of the wound on her hand that had already been somewhat sealed. Instead, it was because of the energy of the Black Sword.
