Chapter 39 ~ From Martel to Glins

~ Planet Ghatom ~

________________

Planet Ghatom was plentiful of every alien life except humans. As Trésora soon learned, to her dismay, there were hardly any human residents on Ghatom. Most, if any, visited Ghatom strictly on business. The few human residents were protected citizens and therefore unable to be touched by vampires.

There was police and law enforcement everywhere to ensure of no crime, as well as heavy surveillance. Citizens were armed. Even alien children had gun holsters, and one look in their eyes could tell they were trained to know how to use those weapons.

Those who came aboard Tavaly's ship left soon after, leaving the remaining vampires stranded. Trésora's brother Cyrus mysteriously vanished, giving cause to suspicion. Her brother never liked her ways nor her lack of empathy.

Trésora knew Tavaly would return. She had stolen two of Tavaly's most prized possessions: the map of the land and a dragon's scale. Tavaly would be looking for them and would retrace his path back to Ghatom where Trésora would be waiting for him with no intention to give back what was taken.

Both were extremely rare items. No other person had the map of the land except for Iérti. Dragon scales were a rarity as well as a reminder of Tavaly's folly.

In truth, Trésora was conflicted. Part of her was horrified how many vampires and humans had died to dragonfire, yet part of her was glad the horrific event drove them to space exploration. If Tavaly hadn't stupidly led the dragons to the land, we would still be on planet Verdamnt, living the same story of 'vampires vs. humans' until one of the powerful ones got bored. Would we have eventually gone to space, or would the thought have never crossed our minds?

Of course, Trésora had no knowledge that the powerful vampire leaders of the land were already thinking of space exploration before the dragons attacked the land.

Trésora bided her time, waiting for Tavaly.

~ Planet Natvolo ~

Tavaly stared hungrily at the valley below at the edge of the cliff he was standing on, fellow vampires behind him as they surveyed the horrors done to planet Natvolo. Planet Monshalow had suffered the same fate, though fairies still roamed the land. Humans were completely extinct on three planets now, thanks to Tavaly and his fellow vampires.

"First Verdamnt, driving out all the humans and vampires from our land, then Monshalow and Natvolo," said a vampire named Dušan, an angry tone in his voice. He had wavy dark brown hair and emerald green eyes, fair skin, and was dressed in velvet purple with royal blue gem-like pieces of cloth inlaid into his clothing.

Tavaly ignored him, focusing on the problem at hand. Planet Ghatom had limited humans, so the vampires journeyed back to their dimension, knowing some humans had settled on nearby habitable planets. The long space journey without nourishment drove vampires to the same state Iérti had been when he went for so long without feeding.

Trésora had taken all their nourishment supplies, saving it for herself. After being a prisoner in Blaise's castle under Mallen's mind compulsion, forced to endure an agonizing period of time without feeding, Trésora made sure to never allow herself in such a situation again, making sure she had plenty of nourishment with her at all times, knowing the horrible pain of prolonged thirst.

The vampires had no idea Trésora had taken all their stores. Assuming the stores were stowed on their ship, they made the journey back to their dimension, only to realize someone took all the stores. It was the same as if astronauts went into space without any food or water.
