Author's Notes:

So, I've just re-read all my chapters after re-reading some TBATE and I have to say that I... ahem... kind of misunderstood some things. Yup! I'll correct them later when I have time. For now, I'll just stick to this. Oh, another thing... I'm thinking about two possible ideas.

First one. What do you guys think about a story where things happen (differently) in a modern timeline? Second one. What do you think about me writing a 'reaction' fanfic? Leave me your thoughts on the matter.

Without further ado, let's read!

Swish!

After hearing Dawn's Ballad entering its scabbard, I finally strapped it around my waist using the belt from my pants. 'Like old days...' I sighed mentally, annoyed at the fact that I —somehow— ended up without many of my personal belongings. My Dimensional Ring is nowhere to be seen and the same could be said about my travelling clothes and my backpack. 'This sucks...'

Making my way towards the muddy shore while looking around I couldn't help but think about my brief interaction with the... vampire, Elwyn.

My mind was a turmoil of thoughts regarding the cryptic vampiress.

Who really was she? Why did she come to help me when I was dying because of Lucas' betrayal? When did she learn from me? Was it all even real?

I looked at my tightening fist trembling as my nails dug into my skin and blood soon poured of my painless self-injury. Holding back a shaking breath, I watched in amazement while slowly uncurling my fingers the wounds mended themselves in a way that reminded me of Mom's magic.

Very real... and unique.

I am —now— a vampire. A creature like Elwyn. But I couldn't shake away the thought about the matter. Was only healing my ability? No... If I recall correctly, Elwyn said something —or nothing— regarding the issue. I was stronger, I could feel it. A raw and unknown power that ran through my veins. She stated that... I would be better, much better than ever before. A force of nature —her words. But aside from that, she didn't say anything else as if she expected me to figure out the rest on my own. And right now I only felt frustrated with her and with her lack of explanations.
