As my waiter quickly dashed off with my humungous order, I turned towards the flying general who was flipping a small knife in his hand.
"What? Wanna try?"
"No thanks… I was just wondering… can I ummm… order so alcohol? Nothing much, just a few-"
"Waiter!" The general imdiately shouted, and as he saw my face brighten up, he couldn't help but smile as a tiny waitress ran over to us. "Bring two big pints of ale."
"O-Of course," She jotted our order down before dashing over to another table, making a quick round trip before returning to the kitchen where our order would be prepared.
…
The next morning, I woke up early. So early that it almost made my skin tingle… no, it was tingling for a different reason, and I imdiately found that reason as I turned toward the corner of my room.
A man clad in black clothing, wielding a single dagger, dashed towards , his explosive legs nearly sending him head-first into my chest before he could even whip his arm up to stab .
KSH
The dagger went straight through my hand, my flesh, and even scraped my bone, yet I sat there, completely unphased, as the man let go of the weapon and hopped back a few steps.
His eyes quickly darted towards my window, which I assud he had opened, and then made a mad dash for it, only to be t with a dagger that he just narrowly dodged between his eyes.
The scalp of his head imdiately began to drip with blood but continued on his way out, flipping up onto the roof by using my window fra as support.
Clearly, he had been professionally trained, and seeing how he was able to slip into my room when my senses were practically pushed to their max… he had to be using so kind of magic, if not using so kind of equipnt that assisted him greatly.
"[Vampiric Creation]," I sighed, watching a wave of blood diffuse through my wrists and slide over my sheets, creating a large pale white man who stood right beside my bed, his blood-red eyes and crimson bat wings throbbing like a beating heart. "Track him down before your ti runs out. Don't fail ."
The man silently nodded before disappearing into thin air, and as I lay back on my pillow, sobody creaked open the door to my room.
My heart rate swiftly increased, sending a burst of adrenaline through my body, giving just enough motivation to slide out of my bed like a snake and press my body up against the shadows covering the walls.
Carefully silenced footsteps still managed to creak on the wooden floorboards below, and as the person turned the corner, I slipped behind them and put them in a chokehold, pressing up against their trachea imdiately.
Choking noises slipped from their mouth, but as their scent infiltrated my nostrils, I let go and let a woman with long black hair and deep black eyes drop to the ground.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!?" Wu shouted at the top of her lungs, imdiately standing up to go and punch in the face, but I quickly blocked it.
She attempted another flurry of attacks, but I blocked those as well until she slowly cald down and finally had the patience to ask, "What happened? I heard a bunch of ruckus from your room, so I ca to check on you…."
"It's nothing… just a small nightmare," I smiled, forcefully escorting her out of her room, and just as I closed the door in front of her, I saw her personal guards just about appear in front of .
Of course, they missed their chance to do anything, but while I took this ti to myself, I looked back at the middle of my room where a single tall and eerie man stood.
"He is heading west. Shall I kill him with my ti remaining?" The vampire's deep and raspy voice perated through the air.
"Keep your voice down and bring him out. I have a few questions to ask him," I lightly smiled.
The man soon reached down towards the ground, a portal of blood swirling below his feet, allowing him to reach into it and yank a man clad in black cloth out of his little safe space.
"Is that all, sir?" The vampire bowed respectfully, and as I waved my hand ever so slightly, he poofed into a cloud of white smog, all while the man clad in black attempted to crawl his way toward the window.
I walked towards him, my footsteps imdiately alerting his heightened senses, so he scoured the room and saw the dagger which I had flung at him.
It was currently sticking into the wall, but unfortunately for him, I already knew he would look this way and retrieved the dagger with utter care.
"Do what you want! You won't be getting any information from !"
"I'll see how loyal you are…." I muttered, my voice slowly trailing off while I stomped on his completely shattered leg bones.
The vampire didn't hold back in the slightest, and well, I guess that made my life just a little bit easier.
"ARGHHHHHHHH!"
The man let out a blood-curdling scream, causing the door behind to be broken through, allowing two servants of Wu to infiltrate my room and raise their long spears toward .
"I'm only defending myself," I smiled, my eyes slowly trailing to their master behind them. "Now leave alone. I have to question why this man tried to kill ."
"Huh? You almost got assassinated? But why? You aren't that famous…." Wu muttered, but upon further thought, she let out a long groan. "Are you serious… well… okay, do what you want, but just don't kill him. We'll execute him tomorrow just to appease the people and strike fear into the hearts of any traitors… possibly moles."
"Whatever you want, princess,"
And as the woman left, the man below violently shook his head from side to side, unable to speak as he manically choked on his saliva.
