The Imprisoned Dragon - Blade, Dan Heng IL

Side Story - Let Us Begin

Idk but I fell in love with them more than Dan Heng and Blade, whatever (the image is a spoiler LMAO)

"Very well" Niniel smiled happily as she was drinking tea and eating some biscuits "I will make sure to enforce the defenses at the borders with the Western Lands"

Umi looked at Fenir smirking on his chair, as his red eyes were focus on the Queen of Elves and Aranvar, whose eyes were locked on him

"We're still trying to reach out the Summoner's Guild Head Master" Umi said as he did sip his tea "Apparently he doesn't wish to talk with any of the Leaders, my guess is that he's just trying to cause chaos between factions"

"This would explain why ferals are getting more active" Ayrin explained "I heard the Summoner's guild can manage to summon but also tame beasts... Maybe they're getting controlled by some of those apprentices"

"Aren't Ferals vampires too?" Niniel asked confused and Ayrin, Fenir and their servants were about to turn ferals after that question.

"Oh my" Fenir released his madness through an ironic laugh. He tickled his own fingers against his calice "Ferals are... those vampires who decided to give their own life and last side of humanity to instinct and desire. Blood becomes object of desire and not just need, as animals they can't control themselves and they just keep seeking blood for pleasure and food. They're wild, they can be easily compared to ferocious wolves in the forests, but a little more powerful as their hunger for blood makes them feel no restriction before murdering" he drank as the Queen of Elves was looking at him with a serious stare, she wasn't scared of course, but not completely comfortable at the same time.

Fenir, to her eyes, looked like the typical dark prince she read once in a novel Evias gifted her. But whenever she had those serious meetings that would bring reality and actual facts about Vampires, Niniel would find herself between being worried and fascinated.

"Vampires... even I can go feral, but it would happen when... we lose control. It's pretty hard to make us lose it" Fenir smiled innocently to then show his red eyes glowing "But as Head Master, I let myself go feral only when the situation can afford me to do as I please" he sighed "Moving back to the main topic..."

"Meanwhile, as you expected, they have sent some proposals" Aranvar looked annoyed "It's pretty annoying considering we're surely not going to partecipate to the war"

Fenir for a moment felt annoyed, but he hid that with a smile "Oh? It would be too easy with you on one's side?" he teased and Aranvar crossed his arms

"I do believe dragons should always stay neutral, we're not meant to partecipate in wars" Aranvar spoke to then look at Niniel, who did bite her lips nervous

"But they're aiming at our God for sure!" she sounded annoyed and Aranvar looked at her like she was one of his children. After all Aranvar's age was way older than anyone in that room or country.

"The Imbibitor will stay safe. Dragons will act only IF the army will ever get to his territories borders" he spoke and Fenir nodded, amused

"Interesting, it's such a shame but maybe it's for the best" Fenir shrug to then smirk "This applies only IF the Imbibitor will manage to keep himself in his territory knowing his beloved guard is fighting at the frontiers"

"If an Immortal dares to take a side in a war, Heavens will chase and judge him... I hope the Imbibitor remembers the ancient rules and doesn't let his feelings take over him" Aranvar's golden eyes for a moment got stuck in a non exact point "It's been too long since the Imbibitor has been in Heavens... I wonder if he actually knows the consequences if he dares to"
