"Welcome Jellal..."
The room displayed in front of me wasn't easy to comprehend. A massive chandelier hung from the ceiling, lighting up every nook and crevice in the majestic room. Room wasn't even the right word; it was bigger than my school - almost!
Furniture topped off the look, decorating the marble floors like the cherry on top of a cupcake. Eccentric designs carved into the red-plush chairs, giving off an antique, yet expensive, vibe. It was furniture fit for a castle, the castle of the vampires.
I stood there astonished.
It feels like we traveled back in time.
I tried to get a glance at the faces of my friends' faces. As I guessed, everyone had their eyes wide open, in shock or surprise.
I turned to the main figure, who was giving out an aura of authority. She was seated on top of a throne, stairs leading to her spot. Sharing a similar resemblance to Erza, I quickly guessed it would be Queen Belserion.
"Y-Your Highness," I stuttered, bowing to the queen. I know nothing about this place and nothing about her, but it just seemed right.
"I've been expecting you and your friends," she started with a cold tone, just like her daughter's.
I remained silent as she looked down on us. There was a cold rush against my body. It felt as if her voice was figuratively powerful.
"Do you know why you're here?" She leaned on her right arm, with her fancy, blood-red gloves, that reached up to her elbows.
"No, your highness..." I replied, not daring to look her in the eye.
She tutted and clapped her hands in a very cliché manner. In an instant, Natsu and Virgo appeared in front of her, on their knees.
"You didn't explain a word, did you, Dragneel?" Queen Belserion laughed, and winked at them, "I have to admit, your self-control's gotten better!"
Natsu merely nodded. It was weird. Natsu's cocky nature - well, the cockiness we'd gotten to know in the past day, or two was gone.
"You may rise," she said, and they did. Then, the Queen got up from her seat and turned to face my friends and me.
"My subjects seem to have been influenced by a man named Acno- actually," she sighed, "Names have power. Excuse me for that."
She continued once again, "A foul man has been influencing my people, making them turn against humans, and brutally killing them, or turning them into Vampires."
Queen Belserion's tone was sad, "Once, we used to be friends... now, you Humans fear us."
Lucy, who was behind me, nodded, "I've heard of him! He's the one who tarnished the name of Pure-bloods, right?"
