We walk into the main area. The princes stood before everyone, they were in the middle of telling the rest of the clan what we already knew. The vampaneze lord had been found. There was an uproar of voices. Some expressed concern, others were ready to go to war, but most just wanted to know if they would still have the festival.
"Everyone please!" Paris speaks, everyone grows silent "After talking about it for awhile, we will keep the festival as planned. We must refuse to show fear."
"Is that the best idea? Shouldn't we be preparing to go to war?!" Someone shouted.
"We have reason to believe that the vampaneze won't attack till their lord is blooded. He's just been found so there's no reason he'd be blooded so soon."
"Also," Mika added "there are only a select few that are allowed to fight the vampaneze lord...... according to Desmond Tiny. They have already been chosen."
"WHO ARE THEY?" Someone demanded.
"They will reveal themselves if they wish, but otherwise it's not important information. For now....." Arrow sighs "we will prepare for the festival and pray to the vampire gods nothing happens."
The princes turn and leave. Most go back to what they were doing. Others talk about what was said in hushed, worried tones. I look down at the ground. I shouldn't have been chosen to be one of the hunters. There's no way I could face.... him again. I take a deep breath. I didn't want to worry about that right now.
I look at Larten as he clears his throat "do you wish to leave the mountain?"
I shake my head "no I.... want to stay. For now at least. I want to experience what the festival is like."
"I was secretly hoping you would say that" he smiles.
