Everyone was shocked at the sudden appearance of Ezekiel’s majestic wings, unable to believe what they were seeing. Those pair of long and powerful flight mechanisms were flapping elegantly in the air, maintaining Ezekiel’s position without any trouble. It seemingly felt that every slow upward and downward stroke was deliberate. Each fluttering of shiny inky black feather drove everyone looking to being dumbstruck in awe.
Kyle and Lucas were so shocked they were momentarily distracted from the fight – which was not something vampires of their calibre would ever do. But this just went to show how stunned they were with the current on-goings of their very own vampire prince. W-what was going on? Wings? My brother had wings? Since when?! How in the world... what the hell was going on?!
Even Lucas who was a close and loyal follower of the prince had absolutely no inkling of this part that apparently His Highness had concealed within himself. And conceal it well, he certainly did!
Because he was being distracted, Kyle nearly got slashed by one of the summoned demons that they were fighting. And if it were not for Lucas coming to Kyle’s aid in blocking the demon’s move, that would prove to be a fatal blow to the young vampire prince.
"Kyle! Concentrate!" Lucas roared at the young prince and Kyle could only flush in embarrassment and obey. He knew better from all the trainings he had been having, that distractions could very well mean the end of one’s life in a battle. Knowing that he could not further afford anymore moments of distraction against this monster he and Lucas were facing. Or else, he might really die – and perhaps even implicate his partner to lose his own life as well.
Letting out a small but spirited grunt, Kyle resolutely shifted his eyes away from his brother who now was looking nowhere near vampire-like as the rest of them are. Kyle determined in his heart that he must – no, he will – survive this battle so he could question the hell out of his brother on not only this matter on what the hell was he exactly, but also on other various things he was sure to be still hiding from him.
