Vampyrism

Chapter 22

Emperor Belos stared at all of them, it felt like an eternity before Belos finally talked.

"Miss Clawthorne, leader of the Emperor's Coven, what is the meaning of this?"

"I do not what you by that, my emperor"

"Tell me, why didn't you inform me of a traitorous vampire when you found her?"

"It because of her identity, your majesty"

"Her identity?"

"Yes"

"Vampire please introduce yourself"

"Of course, a pleasure to meet you Emperor Belos, I am Scarlett Blackwood, first daughter of the decease Vampire King, Elijah Blackwood"

"!?"

"I'm sure you can see why I had to delay her introduction"

"Yes, I see. Alador"

"Yes, your majesty"

"Is she dangerous in any way?"

"No, she isn't. She isn't versed in the ways of combat"

"Is this true?"

"It is indeed true, your majesty. I have never been taught how to fight, for I was meant to be the politician"

Belos stood up and walked to her, Belos examined Scarlett from head to toes. He still can see that she is still somewhat wounded. "Aurora"

"Yes, your majesty"

"Continue to cast heal on her"

"Yes, your majesty" Aurora stood up and continued to cast heal on her to heal her wounds.

Belos waved to his guard to relax, the guards that were near the curtains walked away from them. It was clear that Belos had prepared a way to swiftly kill her if he deemed her dangerous. Belos walk in front of Gereth and Merlin.

"Gereth and Merlin Park"

"Yes, your majesty"

"You two are to be said the most sensible when it comes to being able to detect the magic of a witch, what can you tell me of her?"

"For one it clear that she never learn to use it or hasn't used it once"

"Explain"

"If you see her, it clear that any vampire with that kind of wound would be able to cast their own version of heal but she hasn't and her magic sack or the version for vampires has never been used"

"I see. Scarlett Blackwood, you said you were never versed into the ways of combat, why is it that you haven't used magic?"

"My teacher told me, that if I use my magical powers, I will not be able to control them"

"Your teacher?"

"Yes, my teacher"

"And who is this teacher of yours?"

"We don't know where he came from but about 8,000 years ago he came and was the first to unify us"

"So he was the first Vampire King"

"No, while yes he unifies us, he never wanted the throne, he taught my ancestor everything he needed to know before vanishing"

"Then, how do you meet him?"

"It can be said that every time he appears, he will teach a great leader new ways to lead and what to avoid doing unless they want destruction. He appeared in front of my grandfather and he told us that if we continue the war against the witches, only death and destruction awaits us"
