After mocking Damien, Lavera flew past Damien and Ariel on her broomstick.
However, she wasn't going to let that hybrid brat stomp all over her pride. She agreed with her father that Damien needed to be taken care of.
When she reached a little further away from Damien and Ariel, she turned her head to the side and said, "But before I go, I'll fulfill your wish anyway. I'm benevolent after all."
She elegantly spread her palms and smirked. And she thought to herself, "We shouldn't hide the truth from soone who seeks it."
A sudden strong wave of energy hit both Damien and Ariel.
"Ahhh!"
Both of them were swept a little further away by sothing invisible and Damien cursed that 'witch', "You! I'll kill you for this."
However, when Damien balanced himself and looked at the place where Lavera was just a mont ago, she was long gone.
"Where'd she go?" he tried to fly in pursuit of that woman but Ariel stopped him.
"Don't go! I don't want to be alone out here."
Damien took a deep breath in to calm himself down and asked Ariel, "Are you okay? Do you feel sothing off with your body?"
Ariel shook her head in denial.
"Maybe she removed the invisibility spell? She said she was going to fulfill our wish," Ariel suggested. "Shall we just go back to Wyverndale or shall we check if that's really the case?"
Honestly, Damien couldn't decide what to do at all. Sothing felt off when that witch attacked both of them like that.
"I think we should quietly go back," Damien suggested even when he badly wanted to talk with so vampires.
Ariel couldn't agree more. "Yes. I was thinking the sa. Let's head ho."
What everyone missed when Ariel and Damien had been attacked earlier was that the lonely vampire who was sitting down below also felt the sa surge of invisible power hitting him.
He felt like sothing was hovering above him and he looked up.
"Dear Heaven!" He exclaid in shock when his excellent vision spotted two children with wings hovering high up in the air.
Now that the invisibility spell wasn't cloaking them anymore, he was clearly able to see Ariel and Damien. And the first thing that ca to his mind after seeing them was – invasion.
He instantly ran towards the central street of his village.
However, Damien was quick enough to notice that vampire running to possibly warn all the others and creating an uproar for no reason.
Without thinking a millisecond, Damien swooped down at a greater speed than that vampire. He swiftly carried that tall creature as if he was a baby. And he flew back to where Ariel was hovering in the air.
That vampire was so shocked as well as whiplashed by that sudden and great speed of Damien's flight that his mind was all fuzzy for a good minute.
By the ti that vampire ca back to his senses, Damien had carried him to a deserted forest that was quite far away from the Mystic Red village.
Damien threw that vampire to the ground and he asked Ariel, "Bind him."
Ariel gave a nod.
And in the next mont, the earth around that vampire rose up to form a chair. But he wasn't sitting on that chair. That chair was built around him in such a way that he was unable to move anything except his head.
"Who the hell are you two rascals? Why have you brought here?" He shouted as he tried his best to break free from being held captive.
However, the 'chair' was harder than the strongest boulder and he couldn't even put as much as a crack on it.
With a gesture of her palm, Ariel raised two other chairs out of the soil.
And the children sat in front of that vampire as if they hadn't just kidnapped him.
"Release or I will drain your bodies from your blood. Don't tease just because you two got wings. I am far stronger than the two of you." That vampire didn't stop his attempt to wriggle and kept on trying his best to threaten the kids.
Ariel gave a polite smile and said, "Umm… we didn't an to scare you. All we wanted to do was have a small chat with you."
Damien's stern look on his face didn't die down. But he added to what Ariel had said in a civil manner, "Since you were going to announce our presence to your fellow friends, I didn't have any other option than to carry you here."
"Are you crazy?" The vampire got furious when he heard the kids saying that they were just here to have a chat.
He displayed his sharp fangs and aggressively snarled at Ariel and Damien, "Why would I want to talk with the two of you when you two are clearly the spies from Wyverndale? That devil must have sent the two of you here. Like hell I would talk to you."
Ariel furrowed her brows a little and asked, "Why would the Devil send two children as spies when Wyverndale already defeated Mihir in the war that happened 12 years ago? Do you even know that Mihir surrendered and there's no need for Wyverndale to–"
"I know what happened 12 years ago! I witnessed everything with my own eyes." The vampire looked more aggressive and angry than before when he shouted, "That damned Devil rcilessly burned our King and massacred our fellow brothers. Now we don't even have any Royal bloodline left!"
"Ha!" He spat disrespectfully and continued shouting, "Now this Vampire Kingdom, that once used to be glorious, is being run by a bloody human's offspring... the sa human who was supposed to protect our King in the first place!"
Ariel heaved a sigh and then calmly replied to that vampire, "I don't bla you for still holding the grudges. But it's been over a decade since that–"
That vampire cut her off in between and scread while glaring at her, "The humans might forget what that Devil did to our King but we vampires are going to rember it till eternity. And I swear that I will kill both of you right here."
Damien had already clutched his fist to hit that vampire for disrespecting Ariel.
However, Ariel asked that vampire as if she wasn't affected by all his hatred, "Ti has changed a lot. We weren't even born when you faced that tragedy so I don't think it's fair that you take out your anger on us. We just ca here to see Vampires up close because we were curious what you would look like. Can't we get past your hatred? Can't we be your friends?"
Ariel caught that vampire off-guard. He hadn't imagined in his dreams that a Wyverndalian would ask him, a Vampire, to be friends.
And seeing the look on that vampire's face soften a little, Damien finally took the opportunity to ask what he really ca here for.
"Actually, I also wanted to know one thing. Do you know if soone nad Lilith ever visited this part of the land? To be precise, did Lilith co here to Mihir about 12-13 years ago?"
"Lilith?" That vampire knitted his brows together in anger and asked in a grim tone, "Are you talking about that bitch who couldn't even kill that Dev–"
