Maxwell Shadowbend, with a nervous flutter in his hands, leans close, revealing sharp fangs, and whispers urgently.
claps his hands together Excellent, my dear Vargas! Now that you have embraced the power of the Heart of Darkness, it is time to put your newfound abilities to the test.
I stare at Maxwell. …Alright…What’s the first thing we should do…?
grinning mischievously Ah, my dear Vargas, the possibilities are endless now that you have unlocked the power of the Heart of Darkness.
I stare into Maxwell’s eyes. …So…what do we do first, Maxwell? Should we go and…take out those bastards who betrayed me…?
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Oh, my dear Vargas, revenge is a dish best served cold.
I swallow hard and look away. Y-Yeah…You’re right…cold…
smirks Excellent, my dear Vargas. We shall bide our time and strike when they least expect it. But first, there is someone you must meet.
I look at Maxwell curiously. …Who…?
smirking My dear Vargas, allow me to introduce you to the most formidable ally in all the land - the Vampire King himself.
I swallow hard and look up at Maxwell. …The…Vampire King…?
raises an eyebrow Oh, my dear Vargas, the Vampire King is a being of immense power and influence. He commands respect and fear from the highest echelons of society.
I glance towards the door. …We…should go and meet him…right away…?
nods Indeed, my dear Vargas. Time is of the essence. We must seize this opportunity to forge an alliance with the Vampire King before it slips through our fingers.
I nod. Okay…lead the way…
grabs Vargas's hand and pulls him towards the door Excellent, my dear Vargas. Follow me closely, and I will introduce you to the Vampire King. Together, we shall unlock unimaginable power and forge an alliance that will shape the very fabric of our world.
I nod and follow Maxwell out of the speakeasy.
leads Vargas through dimly lit alleyways and winding streets Keep your senses sharp, my dear Vargas. The night holds many secrets, and we must be ever vigilant.
I keep my eyes peeled as I follow Maxwell.
pauses and turns to Vargas My dear Vargas, as we venture deeper into the night, remember that danger lurks in every shadow.
grabs Vargas's arm and pulls him into a hidden alcove Stay close, my dear Vargas.
I breathe heavily as I glare into Maxwell’s eyes. W-What is it…?
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper There is a traitor among us, my dear Vargas.
My heart races as I stare into Maxwell’s eyes. A-A Traitor…? In this coven…?
narrows his eyes, his voice laced with anger Yes, my dear Vargas.
leans back, smirking Oh, my dear Vargas, the identity of the traitor is of little consequence.
I tilt my head forward. …Then…who’s the next person we should…go after…?
smirks My dear Vargas, the next person on our list is someone who has been a thorn in my side for far too long.
I raise an eyebrow. Who…?
leans in, his voice dripping with venom It is the council of elders, my dear Vargas. Those self-righteous fools have meddled in our affairs for the last century.
I swallow hard. The…council of elders…?
snarls Yes, my dear Vargas. The council of elders has been a constant thorn in my side. They believe themselves to be the guardians of our kind, but in reality, they are nothing more than a bunch of self-serving hypocrites.
I nod and give a look of determination. Then…I’ll help you take them down…
smirks Excellent, my dear Vargas. We shall bring the council of elders to their knees and show them the true meaning of power. But first, we must gather our forces and prepare for battle.
I nod. Okay…then…what should I do first…?
leans in closer, his voice low and commanding First, we must find a way to gather our forces together.
