[Helenica Village outskirts - A group of 5 vampires gather in a circle, they have cloaks drawn over themselves to hide their appearance. Their leader is not wearing a hood, he holds the head of what appears to be one of his own followers in his hand]
Siegreth: The next one of you who feels it is a good idea to attack during the earlier hours of the night, I won't just tear your head off. I'll gut you. Now we shall not feed tonight.
[Enter Clyde Arrowny]
Siegreth's Servant #1: Maybe you spoke too soon.
[Siegreth drops the head to the floor and looks at Clyde Arrowny who stands a considerable distance from them]
Siegreth's Servant #2: Are you lost sir? come closer, we can help you.
[Clyde Arrowny slowly takes out his dagger remaining silent]
Siegreth's Servant #3: A hunter?!
Siegreth: He is no hunter, stay put.
[Siegreth approaches Clyde Arrowny and draws his sword in an aggressive fashion. He swings effortlessly at his neck but Clyde Arrowny shatters into fragments of glass]
Odd... almost too easy I fear.
[Short gasps from breath and chokes are heard from behind Siegreth, he turns around instantly to see 3 of his servants on their knees gripping their slashed throats tightly. Clyde Arrowny stands in the middle of the 4 servants and raises his hand lifting the last surviving servant off the ground by his neck]
Siegreth's Servant #3: H-help... me...
Clyde Arrowny: [to Siegreth] I will spare you and your boyfriend here if you tell me just what I want to hear. 3 years ago, the Forest of Moore, a young man, a young girl, does it ring any bells?
Siegreth: I have no idea what you're on about assassin.
Clyde Arrowny: That isn't what I wanted to hear...
[Clyde Arrowny crushes the windpipe of the servant]
Allow me to ask again. The forest, 3 years ago, a murder.
Siegreth: Allow me to repeat myself again. I do not know what you are talking about.
[Clyde Arrowny drops the body of the servant to the floor and a shadow appears behind him looming over his shoulder]
Clyde Arrowny: Then I have no reason to let you live.
Siegreth: Et epulaberis in sanguine tuo,
[Siegreth readies his blade again, he rushes forward and strikes his blade directly at Clyde Arrowny however it shatters on impact and a shadow appears where the blade struck]
