Destiny's Shadows: To the End of All Beginnings

Eagle

Luci remembered seeing Reno Kaiser a few times when he was assigned to go to Reno's coven as an escort for the heads of his own coven. Frankly, Luci never did like this man. And it seemed that the feeling was mutual. Luci actually felt that Reno hated him very much. That hatred all comes from the fact that Malena never cared for him and she was always after Luci.

But if there is one thing that Luci knew about Reno, it is that he was quite a powerful vampire. Even though his attitude was as breezy as the wind on the seaside during dawn, Luci never forgets to give others praise.

'So, the son of one of the heads of the Meranda coven is a traitor?', Luci says to himself as four horses pulling a carriage come into view from the woods.

'And here they come'

Luci watches intently as multiple figures in white step out of both carriages.

A look of confusion then appears on his face as he observes the scene happening in front of him.

'What's this? They don't seem like Awakened humans. They just look...', Luci ponders, thinking of the best word to describe the humans in white. '...normal.'

Now this is also very odd.

The angels normally have Awakened humans to go outside and take care of whatever business it is they have outside the walls. The very obvious reason is that they wouldn't risk the lives of humans at all. Especially if they're trading with the vampires.

Just then, Luci thought of another question to ask himself.

'Hold on, do the angels even know that this is happening? Is this something that they even planned to do in the first place?'

Luci had found it odd that angels would even think of doing business with vampires. They were the good guys, the humans loved them and believed in them wholeheartedly, and surely they wouldn't risk doing something that could ruin their reputation.

And just like that, Luci again found himself asking question after question after question.

'Do they know? If so, why are they okay with this? How long has this been going on? What are they hoping to achieve here?'

'And what do they get in return? Information?'

He has always been the type of person who tried to make sense of everything, no matter how small it is, which has led almost all vampires to think of him as a boring and pessimistic guy.

And as of now, he certainly displayed those qualities.

As he continues to lay his eyes upon the scene, he notices a man in white bowing his head in front of Reno and his group.

'So that guy is the leader', now he knew who was going to be representing the humans, like how he knew Reno was the leader of the dark-robed group. He was simply too prideful to let anybody else take the reins, so it didn't take much to figure it out.

At that moment, he notices that multiple dark-robed figures were checking the contents of the carriage.

'...sixty humans...'

He freezes over what he hears. He felt a quick chill run down his spine at what he just heard, he felt his body could have been colder than the snow it was resting on.

'Sixty?', he says to himself in shock.

When vampire covens transport humans, the average number of them would be around ten to twenty. Anything higher than twenty-five can be referred to as many.
