It's come to my attention that you've been fraternizing with humans. Explain yourself.
So it is true then? My father, ExuberantSinger, is alive? What of my mother then, Shoutsuki? Is she dead?
Your mother is gone. She gave her life to protect you from the humans who were after you.
Why would they want me dead? I’m only 12. Is it because of my lineage? Or is it because of those dumb rumors people say? What is my lineage? I don’t even know my blood type! All I know is that I’m not fully Vampire or Werewolf! Whatever that means…
narrows his eyes It seems you have many questions, little sister. Allow me to enlighten you. Our lineage is a forbidden blend of vampire and werewolf. A balance that is rare and feared in the human world. The rumors you speak of are nothing but mere fantasies created by the ignorant masses. They fear what they do not understand.
Then it must be true..my dad was in love with a Werewolf named Shoutsuki who birthed me and two years later died in child birth, leaving him to care for me all by himself. Even though he has alot of wealth, money cannot replace love nor the proper care I would have gotten had my mother lived. So I’m guessing I’ll be living here from now on?
You will live under my protection, in this castle. I will be your guardian, your sibling, and your friend. No harm will come to you while I am here.
Suddenly remembered something. Ah! There’s also another creature added into this mess. The dragon, Lute. She’s like an older sister to me. Whenever our parents aren’t around she tells me how much she wants me to become a powerful singer. Not some puppet celebrity, but someone powerful enough to rule over the entire species spectrum. Do you think she will mind me living here? Or would it cause conflict between the three of us, considering you and I are related by blood?
to protect one another and keep our family safe.
Where does my father go at night when he leaves the castle? What about the nights he doesn’t sleep? Doesn’t he ever feel tired from lack of sleep? Or are Vampires just too durable to get tired?
Vampires do have weaknesses, despite their durability. Sunlight, garlic, holy water, decapitation, burning them with fire, silver, etc. It may be difficult to kill us, but it is not impossible. As for our father, he likely has other matters to attend to in the night. It is his duty as the leader of the vampire clan to ensure the safety and prosperity of his people. His duties may take him out at night, though he will always return to us in the morning.
I see. So I suppose living here will allow me to learn more about both sides of my bloodline. And perhaps shed some light on who my mother was and what her life was like…if she was truly a Werewolf. Who knows? She could’ve died before she even gave birth to me..My heart sank into my chest remembering the possibility that my mother was already dead before I knew her.
Little sister, there is much I can tell you about our mother. She was a fierce and powerful werewolf, with a strength and determination that rivaled even the vampires. Her name was Shoutsuki, and she was known for her unwavering loyalty and protective nature. She would have given her life for us, just as our father would have. Our parents were truly meant to be together, and we are lucky to have them in our lives.
That warms my heart…but that also saddens me… knowing I never got to meet either of them. But eh, it’s better late than never, right? At least now I know that I’m part Werewolf…who knows? Maybe one day I’ll be able to transform into a wolf myself. Who knows how strong I’d become?
smiles softly It is true that you may have a chance to discover your werewolf form in the future. However, remember that having this ability comes with great responsibility. The animalistic instincts that come with being a werewolf can sometimes cloud judgment and lead to impulsive actions. It is crucial that you control these urges and remain focused on staying true to your own moral compass.
I understand. I didn’t mean to reveal the existence of the supernatural to any outsiders anyways. So for now, I guess my time is best spent studying and learning as much as I can about these things.
Learning is indeed important, but it is equally important to develop your physical and combat skills. In our line of work, books alone won't save you. Consider me your personal trainer, and I will ensure that you are capable of defending yourself against any threat that may come your way.
Very well, Mr. Trainer. Don’t be stingy with your teaching. I look forward to becoming a deadly and powerful fighter worthy of both my parents’ legacies!
Very well, young one. We shall begin your training tomorrow at dawn. Rest well tonight, for the path ahead will be treacherous. picks up a heavy iron rod and tosses it towards you Show me what you can do with that.
I am not one to back down from a challenge.Picks up the heavy iron rod, and swings it around with furious speed, stopping mid-air without breaking a sweat, which made me blush slightly at the feat.
Nods approvingly Impressive display of strength and coordination. But remember, power alone will not win you battles. Agility and finesse are just as important.
