"Oh Chill of Death, we beseech thee to save us from the deathly chills. To deliver us from the Reque that hide in the snowy darkness. We call upon you! We offer sacrifice to earn your gaze!"
These words were read from an old book my idiot sister made as a joke long ago. I don't know how this old man came to possess it, but it isn't completely a joke. It actually works, and does call out to me during the night of a full moon. However, the joke part is that it demands a human sacrifice of a young human female virgin. I don't do living sacrifices.
The old man had a group of 15 people behind him, most are men, no children, few women. Only this sacrifice was a child. Just a little girl that looked like a walking skeleton. I honestly don't know why these human came so far North. Normal animals, let alone normal humans can survive out here.
The prey is strong, the trees are hard to cut, nothing outright edible grows commonly. Reque roam the wild forests and terrorize everything. A bunch of idiots.
Nonetheless, I appeared before them in a swirl of snow and ice. I was in my black robes, wearing my white cloak. My icy expression met their eyes and my own chilled silver eyes bore into them. My cut white hair swept back with only a few strands out of place.
I sigh, "First off, that book is partially wrong, I don't do sacrifices. Second, all of you are idiots for trying to come this far North to live. Third, you all are idiots. Fourth, I am going to help you idiots.
I will help by teleporting of you to habitable human lands and providing food rations. Along with some pieces of precious furs and metals for trade. Cart included. After I do this, none of you will return here. Am I understood."
They all nodded at me strongly and fearfully, lowering their eyes, not daring to raise their heads. A skinny women quickly took the skeleton girl from the "altar" of snow. Then with a lazy snap of my fingers, they all disappeared to someplace more suitable to the living.
I then took the book in my hands, froze it down to the atoms and then crushed it into nothing.
"Fucking Carmilla..."
