Underneath the thirteenth castle, there were strange tunnels that seemed difficult to navigate. Certain pathways would lead to others opening up to different areas. The only light source in these deep underground tunnels were the torches that lit up the way, and walking through them right now were two vampires, who were dressed the same from head to toe.
They had most of their face covered, only allowing a slit between the eyes to be seen, a floating cloth dangled over from their mouth and nose while a large black tall hat was worn on top of their heads. These vampires in their unique clothing and face covering were from the ninth family known as the Fortuna family.
The tunnels below each had separate sections that would head off in different directions. These tunnels would eventually link to each castle. A dungeon to be used for their own family members and such until a punishment was decided. However, the tunnels were also linked to each other in some way, blocked by complicated door structures with secret codes. Using these doors, one would be able to travel underneath and move freely between each castle.
The ninth family was in charge of the cellars and tunnels underneath and had access to all the doors. Allowing them to transport criminals from one place to another. As for families, they all had access codes and such to their own doors underneath their castles but did not for others. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
One would either have to get permission from another family, or request aid from the ninth family.
Right now, two of the guards from the ninth family had reached a fairly large cellar. Cries from several other creatures and vampires could be heard, but from this one there was no such noise.
A few loud bangs were heard against the bars of the cell.
"Get up, you’re being transported to a new location." The guard said.
Lifting himself up from his bed, Fex wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about going with these people as he slowly placed his feet along the floor to the bars.
"What’s wrong, it shouldn’t be time for me to go just yet, right?" With nothing to do in the cellar, all Fex had been doing was counting the time while down here. Sometimes he thought his actions were that of a mad man.
Waiting for the day of his so-called death. But It was the only thing he could do. He was pretty sure he had been accurate with his counting, and it should still be a while before he was to leave this place. Unless he had already gone mad, and was counting far slower than he thought.
"We are moving you to the main castle cellars, where you will be put under a heavier surveillance." The other guard said.
Unsure why they were deciding to be more cautious. Fex decided it wasn’t his problem in the first place. It wasn’t like there was anything he could do.
The guards put a set of cuffs behind Fex’s back. Ones that would be strong enough to hold any regular vampire, and even if he could break out of them, the two guards were quite strong vampires. If there was one, Fex could take them out, but with his hands tied, two would be impossible.
Even if he did, what would he do next? Knowing what his fate was destined to be, he hadn’t struggled and decided to go ahead and follow the ninth’s men.
Meanwhile, at the same time, two other guards had also been sent to the thirteenth castle. The Wight that had been held captive was also temporarily staying there, but the first leader Bryce, had also made the decision that it would be best if he was transported and put under heavier protection considering what was going on at the moment.
When the two guards approached the Cellar, they had done the same, putting the cuffs on around Peter’s wrist and letting him out of the cellar as they took him out and through the tunnels. However, something strange started to happen after Peter had left the cellar.
A strange energy was starting to flow through him strongly, stronger than he had felt before.. The feeling was similar to when he had consumed Quinn’s blood, only this time he could tell. It wasn’t borrowed power, but it was his own power rising inside him. With this, and the exit from the cellar, the connection between him and his master Quinn could be felt even more than before.
’Quinn, you’re here... and you’ve grown stronger.’ Peter thought.
As Quinn grew stronger, so did Peter. Although he couldn’t use blood abilities like Quinn could, or shadow abilities. All of Quinn’s stats would be replicated to Peter, so right now, he too had the strength of a strong Vampire noble.
