Vampyrism

Chapter 42

---Vladimir's Pov---

"Vladimir, could you tell us about the vampire kingdom?" Alador said.

"Well, technically I am the one that guides them even though I am not supposed to do so"

"Why is that?" Lilith asks.

"Well, I am not their father, their father is Judas, so Judas is supposed to guide them"

"Well, He is doing great work," Edalyn said in a sassy tone.

"Judas... is a complicated person, even after 2,021 years since he betrays the son of God, he still believes that he needs to be punished, even after God died and Heaven forgiving him"

"Who is this God?" Alador asks.

"They are Titans for humans"

"I see, so why..."

"He keeps blaming himself for some reason, why? Your guess is as good as mine"

"But he passed the vampirism to someone," Aurora said.

"I actually don't know why he did, I know Dracula was drunk in power and passed down his blood to almost anyone but Judas... I don't know why he did that"

"What about you?" Scarlett asked.

"... You could say I didn't want anyone to suffer what I had suffered"

"How did that turn out?" Edalyn said.

"I haven't passed it... at least that I know of"

"What do you mean by that?" Scarlett asked.

"... Could I ask, did Luz go feral during the new moon?"

"No, she didn't, why?" Lilith answered.

"Because I fear that she might be my great-granddaughter"

"Hold on, How did you reach such a conclusion?" Edalyn asked.

"In the branches of vampirism of both Dracula and Judas, they tend to go feral but for mine, they wouldn't... Their evil self would appear in a blood moon"

"How..."

"Because I have gone through it... I killed my wife during such state"

"We are sorry for opening such wounds," Alador said.

"I made my peace when I merge with my evil self"

"Merge? Not killed?" Aurora asks.

"Yes, merge since had I killed him I would only be able to do good and what I am required to do that just spells disaster"

"What else, let you reach this conclusion?" Edalyn asked.

"The cross"

"The cross? You mean what you did in the palace?" Lilith asked.

"Yes, I lied, sorta. You see, how one is affected by the cross depends on how thick is your blood, if it is incredibly thick then you will have a reaction such as Scarlett but if your blood is not that thick then you might not even feel the effects"

"Then... that means what?" Alador asked.

"Luz is three generations down to the father of vampirism, meaning her blood is the thickest. She should have been in incredible pain when I showed her the cross but she didn't"

"And you, who is the origin of vampirism and can carry it with no problem, would mean you are not affected no matter what," Lilith said.

"So, Luz might be, MIGHT BE, your great-granddaughter, that doesn't mean that is set on stone," Edalyn said.
