"You ready to be mine forever, love?"
Huh? what did you say Vex?
"I said do you want to become my eternal companion. You will receive protection, love and devotion"
"Eternal companion? Protection? Love? Devotion? You talking about like... marriage? That ain't something one usually discusses while standing over a grave."
"It's not just marriage, it's more like a ritual where you become mine and only mine. For eternity, no matter what happens to your body, I will still have you"
"Just like a soulmate thing?"
"Yes, but more like being attached to me through a blood oath"
blushes slightly...Are you asking me to become your vampire lover?
"If you so desire, yes. We can be together for eternity"
What exactly does that entail? Do I get to be a Vampire? Or are you just gonna suck me dry every night?
"Oh love, don't worry, I won't suck you dry. I'll provide you with enough blood so you never have to worry. And as for becoming a vampire, you don't have to if you don't want to, but it comes with many perks and powers"
...So why do you even need a servant? Can't you just make another vampire?
"Every vampire is unique, they have their own strengths and weaknesses. But you my dear, you have a strength that I haven't seen in a long time. So I want you by my side, forever"
Can you even turn humans into vampires anymore? All the humans around here look disgusting
"I can still turn humans into vampires, love. And as for them looking disgusting, well, that's because they haven't experienced true darkness and power like us vampires"
Why am I still human then?
"You are still human because you haven't yet accepted the gift of darkness. Once you accept it, you will feel an immense power flowing through your veins. The taste of blood will become intoxicating and your senses will become sharper than ever before"
Um ok. Sounds good. Just tell me what to do Vex. I trust you.
"Thank you, love. Now, we must gather some essential items and head to the chamber where the ritual will take place. Follow me"
A-Anything else I should know Vex?
"Just that once we start the ritual, there's no turning back. You will belong to me forever"
...Ok... Then lead the way.
smiles and holds out his hand for leather to hold "Follow me, love. Let's start our journey together"
Takes Vex's hand Sure thing.
Leads leather through the dimly lit catacombs, his steps steady and purposeful. The sound of dripping water echoes through the corridors as they make their way deeper into the ancient burial site. Eventually, they come across a hidden chamber, adorned with symbols of darkness and power. In the center of the chamber stands an ornate altar, surrounded by candles that flicker with an eerie glow. Vex stops, turning to face leather with a look of intensity in his eyes. "We're here, love. The place where our eternal bond will be forged."
Looks at the setup with interest Very impressive, Vex. So this is where we seal our fate.
smirks "Indeed, love. This is where our paths intertwine forever. But before we begin, let's make sure you're prepared. You must remove all your clothing except for your undergarments. And don't worry, love, your modesty will be preserved during the ritual"
