It was 3 in the night, Dead silent and cold.
Even the snow crows became silent in this time of night. They were creatures of night, who followed same evolutions as vampires.
Snow crows were magical beasts, low ranked monster to be precise but since they were weak and almost Mundane, they weren't feared for their strength or speed.
Instead they were feared for bad omens, snow crows had six black eyes neatly placed on their little heads and sight of it along with their annoying screetching naturally attracted hatred and fear.
It was weird that vampire considered black eyes to be more ominous, not red which looked dangerous to other species.
But nowadays nobody cared about omens, colour differences and racial traits, they were simply means to separate people from each other and brew the feud for political agendas. but those of old mentality still held on to their ideas, it was ingraved on their bones.
And even those who cared slept at this time, only those who wanted to enjoy the ecstacy of life to the fullest remained wide awake.
Drunkards, gamblers, drug addicts and criminals, and ofcourse debauchers such as eren.
Eren was slamming his hips hard, ravaging Amelia who barely held her legs in place as She bent over the couch while eren grabbed her waist and drilled her insides from behind. Each stroke electrified her.
" Aahh~"
" Aahh~"
" Aahh~" Everytime eren thrusted, his hips collided with her smooth white soft buns, sending ripples. And every move made Amelia moan in pleasure, the groaning of pain had vanished long ago and now she only felt insidious pleasure twiching inside.
She was exhilirated, so much so that her tongue rolled out dripping in madness and she didn't care for garcefullness. but she was tired as well, terribly so.
This was her second round. And she had already reached her limit of the day.
Eren wasn't heartless man, he took turn on each sister so that he would give them time in interval of rest but their inexperienced body was not yet accustomed to this high spirited activity.
Eren knew them, now he knew them better from inside to outside, from every bit of cranny of their bodies. He was enjoying the tight, warm and juicy pussy he was smashing now and he had enjoyed sensitively twiching hot pussy he had ravaged just a minutes ago.
He had filled their bellies with his vigorous cum and he was about to do it again, not making this any harder for novice Amelia. Just as he didn't for cecilia.
His hand was tightly gripping her waist, pulling her back while his his moved in with power. Her ass was large, soft and bit red as he invoked stinging pleasure within them with necessary slaps.
He looked to side as his body enjoyed this physical bonding with Amelia, he looked at Cecilia who had already passed out of exhaustion and looking back at Amelia, she was following her sister's steps neatly.
Eren had experience, Lot of experience with few nights worth of sex. And he knew how to hold back and when to strike. If he tried, he could go few more minutes but he was sure Amelia wasn't upto the task, atleast not yet.
So he paced his raging boner even harder, even faster and even more beastly. Amelia came without warning, her juices dripped out and Insides twiched.
Eren could feel it all and reciprocating her feelings, eren gave one last thrust before he shoved large load of cum deep inside her pussy.
Eren pulled his cock out, taking few steps back with sweaty forehead. His breathing had become uneven but he still had lots of stamina. He could do more, much more.
But watching two sisters lying exhausted, one passed out and another about to pass out, he felt pride in his self.
His boner that was slowly descending, onec again slowly rose up. Ready for another round as he watched Amelia's pussy dripping with his cum, it was sight to feel victorious and victory brewed pleasure.
" Sorry pal." He said, looking down to his crotch and wore his pajamas, as if hiding it would make reduce his lust for them.
Next he carried Cecilia to her room, placing her on the bed gently and giving her goodnight kiss and did the same with Amelia who was barely awake.
" Good night."
Amelia moaned in sensitiveness, she barely had any strength but with last of it she smiled at eren, " Oh I had best night baby." saying so she pouted her lips, Eren complied with her wish as he neared his cheeks to her lips. She pecked him slowly, she could've argued for why the cheek but she had no strength and closing her hazy eyes she slumped into dreamy sleep.
Later eren walked back to where they were enjoying the fun, the hall. And it was mess, Eren didn't knew where to look.
There were sweaty handprints all over the place, the couch, the table and even on TV. For barely few round, he had explored every corner of this room.
The room itself had turned humid by sweaty activity, it emmited sweetish smell. It was subtle but eren could feel the pheromones dancing in the air.
Then he looked at the most ravaged thing in the room, the couch. It was wet with his new girlfriends's juices and his cum, wet enough that it looked as if someone had splashed bucket of water on it.
And worst of all, Eren had to clean it all up, somehow.
" let's get to it."
*******
Neutral continent,
Royal palace.
Since it existed more close to equator of this planet- rather than vampire continent which was far in North- It's time ran ahead
, differently than vampire continent.
While it was 3 of night there, here it was morning 5 and since it was time of June, Days were long.
By time of 5 AM, divitated run ways were making the world lit without actually showing the sun and by any second the it would smile out from horizon.
In royal palace, Everything was silent but that didn't mean steady. Servents ran in hurry to their jobs, And most of that were already half way done on their works.
Palace was cleaned thoroughly, breakfast was ready to be prepared, desk on the supreme empress sat was set up neatly without touching any royal documents.
Palace was huge, yet only few people live in there. Actually only three people lived here. Yet servents cleaned every room every day, and not even speck of dust was left.
Three people who lived here were sitting in backyard of the palace, they were surrounded by variety of plants and their fruity smell that made morning invigorating.
Only few servents were standing at distance and other then them, everything was empty and serene. Everything exactly how empress wanted,
She was sitting on her very expensive and comfortable chair, sipping on her tea with calmness. She wore loose tshirt and baggy jeans.
Her golden hair was fluttering with gentle breeze of the morning and her green eyes shone with brilliance in dimly lit world.
Even when world had yet to unveil the complete beauty of this world, she looked radiant. Infact she looked only living creature in this garden to have more life than anything even in darkness, as if even light danced around her.
There were others too, Two to be exact.
They were sitting across her, accompanying her in this morning greeting.
First was a woman in her teens, Young and beautiful, dressed in casual clothes. She had amythest glow of her eyes and dark purple hair but due to darkness her hair looked almost black.
One eyecatching details was that she had horns, yes she was dragon. She had pair of golden horns, shining even in this dimly lit world. And yes, she was Natalie.
She shared her dressing sense with the empress, Actually it was the empress who chose her clothes as well and Natalie wasn't complaining. They were light, comfortable, had protective enhancements, had gentle colours and most important, they were a perfect fit. It was more than she had asked for but this was also one the perks of being empress's personal disciple.
Natalie sipped her coffee slowly, enjoying the aroma and doing so strands of her hair slipped out to her face. This made empress open her eyes to look at her for first time since she had come here.
" You should be careful dear."
Her words were gentle, but Natalie knew better. She was like sugar, poison if tasted more.
Natalie was her apprentice, she naturally had to follow her master and her teaching. And being student to empress herself, she had more than just regular rules to follow.
" It would not happen again, Your highness." Natalie bowed, putting her cup on the table without making any sound.
And as she bowed, not a single hair moved.
" Being a lady is having grace dear." Empress put her cup down just like her, gracefully without making a sound. Then she looked at distant sky, " Your mother must be feeling too good to be out there for more than a month."
Natalie's heart was troubled, and empress struck specifically where it hurt.
" I just hope she's fine."
Empress looked at her and sighed,
" She had to extend the mission but she was in touch, and it has been 12 days since she last contacted us. 2 days more than original deadline." She didn't needed to spell the obvious, Her mother was a spy and only contacted at designated time, when she didn't, it only meant few things, either she was captured or she was dead.
" Your highness, Aren't you worried for aunt Elizabeth, I mean she is your daughter?" Natalie needed assurance.
" Not in the least, She and your mother are veteran warriors. Worrying about them is same as doubting their skills." Empress chuckled as she took the cup and sipped in relaxed gesture.
" Yes Natalie, You should have more faith in your mother." The third individual who was sitting beside them spoke, making his almost non perceptible presense known.
He was a young teenage boy, Same age as her. The boy had golden hair, blue pearl eyes, charming face and lith body that spoke nobility. His looks were almosg comparable to eren and nolan, but while eren shared pale face, this one showed human pinkish skintone. This made him look gentle, unlike eren who looked strikingly sharp.
" You cannot make her stop worry with just words arthur, life will teach her everything."
Arthur shook his head to empress,
" I know your teaching as well your highness, but I think you decieve us." Empress chuckled to his remark,
He too was her disciple in training.
" It's bold of you to accuse me."
" Accuse your highness?, I won't even dream of, It seems I failed to learn the basics of vocabulary." Arthur bowed in apology, and pondered for a while,
" what I meant to say that you put us to test?" He took his time speaking with noble gestures. " If life would teach us then you would have not taken us as your disciples"
" No Arthur, life had ways to teach us lesson we don't even think we need.
I do not teach, I merely guide you to bear with life's lessons." Empress put the empty cup down and looked at Natalie.
" You're too wise your highness."
His words were laced with honey, empress smiled but they failed to produce even single ripple worth of real emotions within her. She had been empress for too long to not get swayed by words.
Praise didn't make her kind, swears didn't make her angry and death threats didn't faze her.
" Putting that aside, i have news for you." She smiled radiantlly, it was hard to believe that it was fake.
" Good or bad, it's upto you." She waited for a good amount and spoke, " We'll be holding rookie genius competition in next two months."
Her words brought visible surprise over both of her disciples,
" That means delegations from all six countries will be arriving here." Arthur was taken aback.
This was more than just a casual news to be shared in early morning.
" Yes, More than that it seems that even emperors will be gracing you all with their presense on the finale."
Natalie's eyes widened bewildered, emperors gathering was no simple meet up.
It meant arrival of unavoidable storm, Their strength was beyond comprehension and their existence were walking natural disaster, no they were even level higher than that.
Empress who sat before them was one of them afterall, They didn't doubt for a second that she was a colossal powerhouse but knowing that another few of her kind was vising this place, let's say that such news was naturally worrysome.
" Don't be too alarmed childrens, It is few days competition and they'll be coming for only few hours." Then she placed her hand on the table with excitement,
" What you two should be worried about is the competition." Her smile said it All what she meant.
" Anybody below the age of thirty can participate, It's a great opportunity."
Natalie and Arthur didn't wait much longer before they nodded and spoke, " We will not disappoint you."
Empress laughed at them,
" You don't have to worry about that kids, Because you won't be here afterwards anyways irrespective of how well or worse you do." Empress stood up and her two disciple stood up almost instantly for her.
" If I may your highness." Angelina nodded and approved him.
" Why?, Are we not good enough to be your disciples?" He asked, there was visible panic written over his raised eyebrows.
" Fufu..no dear, On the contrary. You two are magnificent. But i have my reasons." once she was done speaking, nearest servent pulled her chair out for her to leave.
" Arthur Join sir raynold to morning combat training, Natalie you follow me."
The servent who pulled her chair was sir raynold, cladded in royal crome armour that looked fairly heavy and sturdy.
Sir raynold was a knight, along with many other who remained hidden to naked eyes. And their job was to protect the empress, Sir raynold had come out to assist but was assigned as martial instructor to Arthur.
But empress's orders were absolute, he didn't feel slightest bit of shame by her order. Even if she asked him to kill himself, he would do if gladly without any hesitation. Not just him but every bodyguard shared his feeling, they were selected for this job precisely because of their dedication.
Sir raynold bowed without saying anything,
" As you wish, Your highness." And Arthur bowed, waiting.
Empress didn't say further and walked back to castle, followed by Natalie who chuckled to Arthur in her own devilish way.
Arthur looked with corner of his eyes and felt angry.
' Fuck More training?' but he buried it deep within. Not questioning, not showing.
Natalie enjoyed that as well, Arthur had sugar for words and insane capability as bootlicker.
But that did not mean he was here because of his bootlicking skills, no, he was strong, agile and most of all smart.
But even when his ploy to enchant empress in his words failed, it brought Natalie joy.
Arthur clicked his tongue under his bow and stood up with calm expression only after empress and Natalie were gone.
He looked at sir raynold and smiled,
" Shall we?"
Hmphh...
Sir raynold snorted and left, Arthur begrudgingly followed and this time he didn't show his disapproval.
Inside the castle.
The empress and Natalie were walking in corridor, towards the combat chamber specifically made for empress.
Her strength exceeded majority, Only few handful of peoples, no- monsters were her match so it was accurate to say that if she would desire then she could inhilate this castle with wiff of her power.
The training room was built to atleast withstand drop of her power, Not that she needed any training to begin with.
She was supreme leader, But that did not make her complacent. She trained her martial skills daily, and since Natalie was her student, she trained her as bonus.
" if I may, Your highness."
" Go ahead dear." her steps weren't hurried yet Natalie found it hard to follow her pace.
" Why treat him differently?" Natalie could guess few reasons, one was Arthur trying to be more chummy. He was just natural at that but those of intellectually keen often found people like Arthur nuisance.
Atleast that was the reason why Natalie didn't like him much. But was that really reason for empress's action, could she be that shallow? Surely not.
" It's because you two have different set strengths." Empress stopped for a moment and continued, " He's a sword."
Natalie tried understanding her words but
They reached the combat room, servent opened the door and closed behind once empress and Natalie walked inside. Not really getting what she meant by those words.
There was only one servent here, And she hurridly brought empress's sword and kneeled, holding up the large tray that served the magnificent sword.
The sword and it's scabbard laid separately on the silk clothing which laid as decoration on the silver tray.
And both sword and it's scabbard were lustrous black, onyx blackness of the sword shone with radiance.
With a thought she picked them both and sheathed the sword, but the colour and radiance of sword's handle didn't match with scabbard. Finding this difference turned empress's mood sour, she instantly unsheathed her sword and threw the scabbard away in annoyance.
Then she handed the sword to Natalie, surprising both woman watching.
" Spar with her megan." Megan moved only when empress gestured, putting the tray on the table at corner she grabbed the sword that suited her style. A curved steel sword.
Natalie was taken aback, she was holding empress's sword in her hand and it felt cold.
Before she could think, empress had already swatted her hand as gesture to begin.
Natalie was still tangled in her thought, megan saw this but that didn't stop her from acting up, neither she warned Natalie.
Natalie barely had time to think when her insticts screeched, Her stance became clear and sword in her hand became just another regular sword to be used, to defend and counter.
Thoughts for how and why vanished, replaced by clarity that she only needed to fight and win.
Megan's sword clashed with natalie's sword, ringing round of metal clashing became indication of fine start.
Natalie was fully engaged in battle.
Megan and her sword dived in the combat, her sword slicing through air yet every strike failed to reach it's target.
Natalie moved, dancing just as megan, avoiding, parrying and counterattacking when needed. She was analysing megan's strength and her weakness.
And she quickly found them,
' She's blue rank warrior, so she's adjusting her strength to mine.' Natalie had gauged that her strength was far more than her own but that didn't make her worry.
' But so far she has not used any spells, that could mean she's a warrior and not a mage.'
Natalie exchanged few more strikes, And realised that now megan had stepped up the level.
Her attacks were deadly from start, but now she had increased the speed and power behind them. And that made situation increasingly difficult for her. Now she was barely keeping up now, she had lost her advantage.
And now she couldn't even counterattack, she was too busy just defending.
" So as to what I was saying." Empress spoke, sitting on another throne that was placed in chamber.
She enjoyed watching Natalie barely missing the strike by hair's breath, she enjoyed megan's finesse and she enjoyed dance of clashing swords.
" He's a sword, already shaped. Now all I can do is sharpen it." It wasn't some great analogy, just simple words.
But Natalie hardly understood what that meant, she was too busy ducking megan's horizontal slash. Once down, she called mana in her legs to burst out, her enhanced strength pushed the floor but immovable earth only made her jump high in return.
Natalie backflipped multiple times, putting distance between herself and megan.
Creating few seconds of distance before megan once again narrowed it to minimum.
" But you my dear is a large piece of rough diamond." Her words attracted natalie's attention and that diverted her just enough for megan to slip past her defence and attack.
Megan's sword was ready slice her arm off, but last minute defence saved Natalie as she put her sword in the way. It was hasty and without much strength, so Natalie expected that brunt of her attack would hurt.
And the pain came just as that thought finished, though she avoided the direct cut but with weak, hasty defence she was thrown to side. She curled her body and ducked her head, trying to minimize the impact that was about to come and just as she did that, she was slammed on the wall.
Her insides shook violently, head despite not being in direct impact felt vibrations. And her mouth vommited blood from internal damage.
She opened her eyes once she fell on ground, she wanted to stand up but her cognitive ability were momentarily compromised. Her head spun making her unable to stand still but she managed to stand up, taking support from her sword as she breathed hungrily.
Taste of blood made her thoughts more clear, she looked ahead. Where megan stood silently. Megan was not smiling and that felt like mockery in itself.
Natalie felt her heart unrest, not from damage she took, but from this moment, from this defeat.
' No, Its not over yet.'
She was about to charge in when megan appeared right before her, placing tip of her sword at her neck.
And Natalie was defeated.
" Yes, very rough piece of diamond." Megan bowed to empress who walked toward them with no hurried steps.
She held a teasing smile,
" Any thoughts on the sword dear." She extended her hand to Natalie, who couldn't refucse her status and lifted herself up with empress's aid.
" It's a bit heavy for me." Natalie was giving it back, but empress shook her head and denied.
" Here, Drink this." Empress extended a vial of potion, vial itself seemed expensive but potion inside was even more sky high.
Natalie was accustomed this routine, Beaten up till empress decided to stop the training, Drinking the potion which Instantly cleared her of any and every injury and then on to the bath.
Yes, she was accustomed, she drank the potion which was too expensive. So much so that she choked on first few days.
But now was a different matter, potion vanished inside of her and surge of energy rose.
This energy was different, it acted to heal the wounds and doing so it created a temporary chain reaction. Small amount of mana from potion ignited a reaction that also directed natalie's own mana to work in similar way, this made healing more gentle and rapid.
Natalie was once again surprised, no matter how many times it happened but everytime felt extraordinary.
" Keep the sword, Now it's yours." Empress turned, Natalie was left speechless once again. But empress was already leaving, Natalie eyed her new sword for a second and then handed it to megan who showed no expression to anything.
" Shall we?" Empress's voice rang from certain distance, Natalie didn't say anything and followed with a bow as thank you.
********
Wasteyard of Northen aston city.
It was next morning, the fire had finally calmed down but damage it did remained smoking still.
Now large piece of land laid ashen white and charred black, it was silent, eerily.
But then suddenly a rustling of footsteps over ashen land made scene even more creepy.
Steps increased, two, four, twenty, fifty, hundred and kept increasing.
They moved slowly, warily yet their figure still remained covered in shadow of smoke.
They were masked men, covered from top to bottom with black body suits, Thousand of them.
It seemed as if evil organisation had sent a second backup unit, Albeit late. There were 750 green ranks, 250 blue ranks and one cyan rank cultivator.
Cyan rank cultivator wore formal attire, standing out fromrl rest of the people. Clothes itself seemed high in authority but
He was ugly, even more unglier than madman and this was just naturally uglyness.
He looked around, his mana sense enveloped whole wasteyard and he soon found something to focus on other than ash and smoke.
He jumped high in the sky, few hundred meters and directly landed on the crater where the huge explosion had taken place.
" Oh, Someone actually managed to succeed in merging the bloodline even amidst this chaos." Then his face contorted, repulsed by a thought,
" It better not be that fucking madman."
But as if his filthy words had hurt the sensitive egg, it showed sign of cracking.
