Knights Volume 1

Chapter 7 Allies

Within the woods, along a path Zane stops by a sign that reads 'opening ahead, friendly zone'.

With a raised eyebrow the guy opens. "Sounds too good to be true."

Dispite the warning signs going off in his head he continues along the path until spotting an opening where an abandoned trainstation with a tank can be seen. As he walks into the opening a single morter round fires off.

"What the hell?" Asks the guy. A teen girl walks out from the old station. "Hey! Hey! watch it! He might be here to help!" She yells looking in the direction of the tank. A wearwolf climbs from the tank resuming human form revealing herself to be a young woman with a cut across her eye.

"Nevaru you know what i think of vampire's. Especially the one that came by looking for that stone you're hiding." She opens.

With a nod Nevaru replies. "I know, but i have a strong feeling that he's the one meant to help us."

Zane walks over to the two saying. "I have the vampiric hope stone. If it helps i can give it to you."

He pulls the stone from his pocket. The young woman's eyes widen in shock and she says. "I'll be damned.... o-oh sorry... My name is Tukavo. But you can call me Tuka You... probably already know i'm a werewolf. I understand if you don't trust me."

Shaking his head the teen replies. "I could not ever bring myself to hate anyone, or anything... Aside from the asshole vampire trying to steal the vampiric stones, and the demon huntress trying to kill me."

Raising an eyebrow Tuka questions. "Why would a demon be trying to kill you?"

Looking to the two the guy asks. "Have you ever heard the stories of Nickolis Nethsur?"

With a nod Nevaru answers. "You can call me Neva, and everyone's heard the stories."

"Well the stories are true. I was sent to find all the vampiric stones before the dark forces can get their hands on all of them. I was just looking for a place to stay... i-if its alright could i stay hear?" The vampire teen replies putting the stone back in his pocket.

Tuka smirks replying. "Not every day we take in a vampire. But i think we can make an acception. Besides... looks like its gonna rain again, and i'll be damned if i'm gonna end up soaked again. I'm done hunting for the day, and we have a guest.

The three walk into the old station. Neva flips a switch turning on christmas lights.

"I know its not christmas but its the closest thing we have to decoration." She explains.

Zane looks around finding some old tables, and a train that never left the station. Some area's of the ceiling are missing. The walls are also a bit withered from age, though the pillars stand strong.

Neva, Tuka, and Zane are gathered around a small fire made from pieces of a few different tables.

"Humans used these railroads as passage during the war. Some variety of monsters also came through here, but they try not to talk about it. Especially those among my kind." Tuka explains.

"Can't say i blame your species, what with the weird history between vampires, and werewolves." Zane replies with a nod.

Signing no Tuka answers. "Not all vampires and werewolves hate one another. Actually our two species get along very well. They just argue about the system of honor. Vampires have been without a system of honor for too long."

With a nod Neva opens. "The good vampires try to make the best out of what they have. But they have a hard time helping humans because they treat the good vampires like trash."
