He has entered within the range of their domain and they are also close enough to him to be within his domain. He decided to end the fight quickly. A blood ocean erupted out from him and enveloped the surroundings. The escaping wood elves were surrounded immediately. 

"We are doomed. It is a blood domain." The first wood elf lamented.

A blood domain signifies a strength that is at least a Count. The sight of one struck this wood elf with hopelessness. His mind and body froze in fear. It is not involuntary. He has simply given up. A voice in his head said he should give up and he did willingly.

"Snap out of it." His partner shouted at him. 

But he didn't snap out of it. He remained frozen in despair and didn't dodge so a blood spear impaled him right through his chest. The blood grew within him. It sprouted several spikes that protruded out of him. Then he was consumed by the blood. His body shriveled up as it was sucked dry by the spike. The remaining wood elf was captured so that he would be brought into the fold of CARNAGE.

"This is good. My very first wood elf fledgling. You will be strong and you will be useful to me." Xigger said to the frightened wood elf.

The voice in Xigger's head agreed. "Yes. The will of CARNAGE will be fulfilled."

The wood elf struggled within the ocean of blood but it held onto him like tar. His movement was restricted. He had to jerk about just to move but the blood restored him to his previous position by snapping back like elastic rubber. His efforts to escape were futile. 

He was finally able to get a good look at Xigger as he approached. He saw a Warrog with red fur. This Warrog has a mouthful of red, sharp but jagged teeth. It is a sharp contrast to the neat and orderly fangs that vampires usually have.

"What are you? You're not a normal vampire. You don't look like one and you can use blood spells. You're not supposed to be able to use blood spells." He asked again in panic and confusion, "What are you?"

Xigger declared. "I will be your new master." 

"Over my dead body." The wood elf said and willed a mechanism within his armor.

The mechanism came alive and the green armour exploded. The wood elf within the armor was scattered into the blood ocean. 

The voice in Xigger's head said in disdain, "Looks like he would rather die than become a vampire. What a disappointment. These wood elves don't know what they are missing out on. Maybe it is your fault. Your looks must have scared him off. He doesn't want to turn out like you. Other vampires are handsome and beautiful but you're an ugly mutt."

Xigger shrugged. "I would have preferred a stronger fledgling. But this is good too."

The death of the wood elf benefits him. His blood domain absorbed the fragments of the wood elves. It strengthened him so the wood elf did not turn out to be a waste.

Then he returned to his fledglings and continued to roam the mountain range for prey. He found some roaming packs and other packs on the outskirts of the mountain range. He also found more scouts that he fed on. But he couldn't turn anyone of the wood elf scouts into Vampires. They would rather die than submit to him.

His hunting occurred over a period of weeks. It was a period of engorgement for Xigger. He grew stronger rapidly. Then he returned to Sauron when he became confident of his strength.

And so it was that Xigger returned to the iron fur pack. He didn't come alone either. He came with hired help in the form of many Mana stage fledglings. He appeared with his group at the same location of his previous defeat. 

Then he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come and face me dishonorable Sauron."

The shout echoed over a large distance throughout the mountain range. Xigger didn't wait for Sauron to find him. He announced his presence grandly. He needn't have bothered. Sauron came over as soon as he sensed the intruder. He was understandably confused and surprised that Xigger was the intruder.

"Didn't I kill you?" Sauron asked.

"I am immortal. I can never die." Xigger replied smugly.

Sauron didn't make any snide comments this time. He can sense the change in Xigger and in the situation. Xigger is much stronger than before. Xigger is also here with more enemies.

"Maybe I didn't kill you very well last time. I will make sure to rectify the situation this time around." He said to Xigger. 

Then he howled to the night sky. His howl is different from other Alphas. It is heavy and baritone. It causes a deep reverberation that can be felt within the bones. It caused a thrumming within those who heard it. 

Sauron's howl originated from deep within his chest before it came out from his mouth. It formed visible soundwaves as it spread out from his mouth. Every warrior who heard the howl became agitated immediately. They have been summoned by the Alpha of the pack and they must obey. 

The first thing that they did was to howl to signify that they heard the call and that they were on their way. So howls resounded throughout the mountain range. The night became alive with howls and growls. 

Then the warriors began to shift after howling. They unleashed their inner beasts. Their form enlarged while they became bent so that they now run on all fours. 

Next, they began running toward the pack leader. Betas followed their Alphas and the Alphas led the way to the Alpha of Alphas. The march of footsteps began to rise. Thousands of heavy paws struck the mountain as the warriors converged on the valley. Loose rocks and sand began to shake and vibrate. It is as if a group of migrating animals were stampeding.
