“Why do we need to ask a literal demon for help? We have Tunka already.” Archie says while scowling, slapping a random branch that flicked his face.

“The World Tree instructed it, now shut up.” Eruhaben says, glaring at Archie who only looked away in fear.

Choi Han’s eyes wandered around the Forest of Darkness, the familiar trees seemingly mocking him.

There was a flutter of leaves nearby, their senses heightening and guards rising against the other being who is lurking with them.

“A dragon, a swordsmaster, and a whale. That’s an interesting combination.”

In an instant, Choi Han’s sword was unsheathed as he pointed it at the man’s neck. Pointy ears, white hair, violet eyes…sharp fangs.

“And what is a vampire like you doing in the Forest of Darkness?” Choi Han questions, earning a chuckle from the vampire.

“I’m here to see my lovely son. What about you three?” The vampire muses, honesty lacing his voice that it made the gold dragon raise an eyebrow.

“We’re here to see the benevolent demon or whatever his title is.” Archie says, making Choi Han glare at him.

“Benevolentㅡpft…ehem. Sorry for that. While he is indeed benevolent, he also quite have the temper.”

“You know this demon?” Eruhaben asks, motioning the raven to lower his sword.

“But of course!” The vampire gushes, “He is my lovely son.”

Archie then asks, annoyed, “Then can you guide us to his place? We’ve been wandering for several days already.”

The vampire chuckles, “A pleasure to help the heroes! Let us depart then!”

Choi Han squints his eyes, “How do we know we can trust you?”

Though it was Archie who asked for help, it wouldn’t hurt for them to be extra careful around someone they don’t know.

The vampire snorts, “You don’t, actually. But what choice do you have but me?”

Eruhaben is amused by this little vampire with them, “What is your name?”

“I’m Fredo. Fredo Von Ejellan.”

The three of them silently followed the vampire, since it really has been several days since they started traveling in search for the demon that could help them.
