Hey frens 🥲 Sorry for delay! It's finals season and I deleted basically all my socials to focus. I'm a STEM major and just had a lot on my plate so I needed to take a break from everything for a bit. I have one last exam on Wednesday tho (thank god 😭). But I didn't wanna wait till then to update so here it is! I've just been working on this chapter a little bit every day for the past week. Once my exam is finished though I'll have more free time and everything will go back to normal 🕺🏾
Enough rambling 👹

This place hasn't changed a bit... San thinks to himself as he arrives at Asa's courtyard. The witch doctor had animal bones and skulls hanging from ropes and tied to tree branches around her hut. Different herbs and plants growing to the side. The air smelled crisp. Like freshly burned wood.

He looks back at the guard that escorted him there and flashed a tight lipped smile before he ducks and pulls back the drapes over the entrance of her hut then enters. The room was dimly lit with candles and had different tribal tapestries hung all over the walls.

"Asa?" He mutters once he spots the old woman crouched over, sitting on the ground with her legs crossed, and grinding up something with a wooden mortar and pestle. She immediately stops the second she hears his voice.

She then puts down the pestle and stands up with little effort. Despite how old she is she was extremely agile. Her white curly hair scattered and messy as it hung low at her lower back. And when San meets her white eyes, completely lacking of any pupils or irises, he bows deeply in respect, falling to his knees and pressung his forehead against the ground as is expected from drows when greeting elders.

She breathes deeply. "Rise" She says in a raspy voice. Though she was physically blind that didn't mean she could see. San stands up warily, still going through all the different reasons why she could've asked to see him "Come sit" She urges for him to sit with her as she made her way towards a small, low, round table.

She sits on the ground, legs crossed and San does the same. A silence settles. "Asa, why have you requested to see me?" San speaks, the quiet eating him up.

"So the spell was lifted when you were killed" She mutters to herself outloud and San's brows furrow.

"I'm sorry?" He squints at her, not quite sure he heard her right.

"Have you never wondered how and why you became part vampire?" She asks. San shrugs.

"Yeah, like everyday for the past 4 years. I figured maybe it had something to do with Wooyoung"

She shakes her head, the coral beads in her hair shaking and rattling against each other in the process. "No. You were born part vampire, San"

San shivers as her words rang in his head and over. "W-what are you talking about?" She chuckles uncomfortably.
