Unfortunately, it looked like Misella's struggles were futile at the mont. She couldn't resist or free herself. Even though Atlas wasn't Castiel, he was still in Castiel's body which he had gotten accustod to.
Misella's struggle continued for over an hour before she seemingly started regaining her senses in the absence of the blood. Her body did get accustod to the Blood she had already drank.
"I... You are right. I can't treat it like a delicacy. I don't know what happened to ..."
Misella ca to her senses, realizing just how strange she had been behaving.
"Nothing happened to you. It's the initial Bloodlust. Since you tasted it for the first ti, your body wanted more which wasn't needed," Atlas explained, freeing Misella's hands.
"It's like when you had your favourite juice for the first ti. You wanted it more. But with this, you get accustod to it. That's the sa with blood in a way. However, now that you've had so Blood, next ti your Bloodlust will be much weaker, until there is none."
Misella nodded, as if understanding what Atlas was trying to say. She also understood why the Vampires were after blood so much. For them, this thing was really tasty. In fact she could recall tasting sothing which was tastier in her life... The sensation that she received from the Blood... The pleasure... It was impossible to quantify it.
She could still rember just how great it felt. In fact, she still wanted to drink more blood, but she controlled her urges now which were weaker.
"Lilith, can you take Misella to her room and help her with the best phase of restlessness?" Atlas asked Lilith.
Lilith stood up, but not alone. She held Luna's hands. "You are coming with ..."
Even though she was going to go with Misella, she didn't want to go alone as that ant giving Luna an opportunity to stay with Castiel.
Holding Luna's hands, she dragged her away with Misella, leaving the hall.
"You two can go around and start your training if you want. Or just rest. We'll et in three hours to discuss our departure," Atlas told Vor and Lancaster before he also left with Tyler.
Vor was quite surprised that Atlas left alone without taking any of them. It was as if he wanted to be alone for so reason. Either that, or he was tired. Or did he really not like their company?
"Co, we will start your initial training for the coming battle." Vor took Lancaster with him, going to a different path.
Atlas left the hall with Tyler, soon leaving even the mansion.
Tyler led Atlas to the Cetery where the Carriage was already waiting as per Atlas initial commands.
"As per your command, our n have already finished digging up the hole in the ground."
"Good," Atlas nodded.
Reaching the carriage, he opened the storage compartnt and brought out a beautiful coffin.
"Who is inside the Coffin, My Lord?" Tyler asked.
Atlas carried the coffin with him, entering the cetery as he answered, "Inside the coffin is a friend. A friend who hopefully will be responsible for sothing good in the ti to co..."
Atlas carried the coffin and walked to the hole that was dug in the centre of the cetery.
The other Vampires were already waiting for them.
Atlas placed the coffin on the ground before observing the surroundings.
The cetary was huge, and it had many graves, most of which belonged to the humans that died in this town.
"You can leave," Atlas commanded Tyler. I want to be alone here for now. Go and check up on the security of the town. More guests will be coming here."
"Yes, My Lord." Tyler nodded. He signalled for his n, gesturing them to leave as well.
Within a few minutes, all the Vampires had left the cetery, leaving only Atlas there.
Atlas picked up the coffin again and jumped inside the hole that was dug for this coffin.
He placed the Coffin inside the hole and only then opened it, gazing at his old face once again.
"If I succeed, I will be making myself truly immortal through my actions. However, even then I can't escape death... A death that will finally catch up to ..."
"However, before I die, there is one more thing I need to do..."
Atlas brought the small black stone out of his pocket which he had used to make Misella an Immortal Progenitor.
"If I am caught, this might fall into so wrong hands. And if I leave it in the town, it might end up the sa... It's a thing which shouldn't exist, but it's also impossible to destroy it. So I'll depend on you to keep it secure..."
"In my life, I'll protect the world that I'm leaving for the others. And in my death, I'll protect this stone..." He placed the stone on his dead body, right on the chest before closing the Coffin forever.
Since he didn't want the stone to be found ever again, what better place than his own coffin which wasn't going to be checked by anyone. He was going to take steps for that.
He filled the hole in the group before biting his thing. He made a blood drop fall on the ground where his grave was, casting a spell that he read in Misella's book.
It was a spell that Lilith had suggested when they were discussing about Misella's burial to keep her safe, but Atlas was against it. He wanted Misella's grave to be hard to find, but not so hard that even he couldn't find it.
However when it ca to his own body, it didn't matter. He didn't want anyone to be able to find his body, even Castiel! That was the only way to keep the stone away from others' reach.
He cast a spell of dislocation which shifted his grave to a random part of the world. However, he didn't forget to cast another spell. Just like Luna's blood was used to locate her brother, he didn't want anyone to use his sister's blood to find his body and his stone.
He cast a Shroud as protection for that, making it literally impossible even for Lilith or Castiel to locate his body and the stone... Just as a precaution to make sure there were no more Progenitors in the world who could threaten it
