"That is something I would also like to know."
As Adam heard the voice that came from right behind him, his defensive instincts flared, causing his antigravity armour's tail to materialise before quickly shooting out towards the sound of the voice.
"Whoops," The same voice said as he barely managed to shift his head to the side and dodge the tail's attack before inspecting the tail with interest and saying, "Quite the nasty weapon you have there."
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Fuck, he missed him.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): First time we have seen the streamer's tail miss its target.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): You're growing soft with all the bedroom action you're getting, streamer. Kekeke.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): Trust me when I say he's anything but soft in the bedroom. 😏]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Oh fuck, is that who I think it is?]
"Uncle Vlad?" Celeste asked in shock.
"Progenitor?" Rowena and the receptionist said simultaneously in shock.
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Progenitor? As in the Brood Progenitor? 🤯]
[Emojisonly (Earth): 🤯]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): No fucking way.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Is that really the Brood progenitor? I've never seen him before. He's hot.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Yeah, he is. 🔥]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): All progenitors are naturally handsome or beautiful. The question is, why did he appear now of all times?]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): It's certainly strange that he would appear right where Adam and Diva Rowena were.]
[OracleRomy (Elysium): The actions and understandings of the progenitors are something we may never understand. All we can do is wait and see if he explains his reason for being there.]
"Progenitor?" Adam asked as he looked at the extremely handsome man curiously, something the progenitor was doing in return.
"Why are you here all of a sudden, Uncle Vlad?" Celeste asked.
"Am I not allowed to visit you? Didn't you invite me?" Vlad replied as he turned to smile at Celeste.
"Yeah, weeks ago," Celeste snorted in response.
"Sorry, but I have been rather busy," Vlad replied
"Bullshit," Celeste replied, surprising the others before saying, "I know very well that you sit in that throne surrounded by that creepy pool of blood all day and don't do shit."
[Every viewer in the known universe: …]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Holy shit, this girl doesn't give a shit, huh.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): I like this girl. She's got spunk.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): I'm not sure speaking that way to the creator of an entire race is a wise idea.]
Adam smirked under his mask as he observed the shocked expressions of both Rowena and the receptionist before he leaned towards Rowena and said, "I thought you said she was your friend. Why do you look so surprised?"
Rowena snapped out of her shocked state before looking at Adam and saying, "Because I have never actually seen Celeste and the progenitor interact before."
"That's true, thinking about it. Even though you have known Celeste for hundreds of years, you have never seen us together," Vlad commented thoughtfully.
"Why would she when you're always sitting in that creepy blood pool?" Celeste retorted.
"You know who I am, Progenitor?" Rowena asked in surprise.
"Well, Celeste did just introduce you," Adam pointed out.
"That's true," Vlad replied before continuing, "Celeste has confirmed my suspicions, though I'm still rather curious about a few things, Rowena Nosferatu and friend."
"And those would be?" Rowena asked in a polite tone that Adam had never seen before.
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Whoa. Never knew Diva Rowena could be so polite.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): She is standing before the creator of her entire race, dude. It's like standing in front of God.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Good point.]
"Would you mind leaving us, Emily. I'm afraid I have some private matters to discuss with these three," Vlad said as he turned to the receptionist before adding, "Why don't you go enjoy the festival, which is due to start soon?"
"Of course, progenitor, it's been an honour," Emily said with a polite bow before leaving with bright eyes.
"Did I say you could let my employee finish early?" Celeste asked with a frown.
"Once you pay her, you can consider her your employee," Vlad replied with a smile before turning back to Rowena and asking, "Rowena Nosferatu, would you kindly explain to me why it is that I can sense two of you in the city?"
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Uh oh, busted. Kekeke.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): How does he know there are two of them?]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Didn't you listen, idiot. He said he can sense that there are two of them.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Shut up bitch. What I mean is how can he sense them?]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Errr….]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): As Oracle Andromeda said before, the actions of the progenitors are something we may never understand.]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): Does this mean that any progenitor can sense any one of their race?]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): That's a whole lot of individuals to sense at once if that's the case. Makes you wonder how he can distinguish one from the other.]
"Sense?" Rowena asked in a confused tone.
"Is it possible that the progenitor of a race can sense those he has created?" Adam wondered aloud.
"Not bad," Vlad said as he gave Adam a nod of approval before adding, "Although I didn't create all Brood. Rowena here, for example, was born from her parents, not through my hands."
"I should hope not, that would be nasty," Celeste remarked.
"I had no idea that you had such an ability, progenitor," Rowena replied politely.
"It's not something I have spoken to many of my children about. I don't want them to feel pressured that I am constantly watching them. Plus, there are limits," Vlad replied.
"Children?" Adam asked curiously.
"It's how he addresses the other Brood when he speaks about them. There are all his children of something," Celeste explained.
"Oh," Adam replied.
"Now, please explain," Vlad said as he once again turned to Rowena.
Rowena sighed before saying, "The Rowena you sense in the Nosferatu family estate preparing for the festival is the correct one at this time."
"Huh?" Celeste said with a confused look.
"Oh? How do you know what she is doing right now?" Vlad asked curiously.
"Because for me it has already happened, eighteen years ago to be precise. Adam and I, are from eighteen years in the future," Rowena replied.
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Bombshell dropped.💥]
[Emojisonly (Earth): 💥]
"The future, huh?" Vlad asked thoughtfully
"The future? What rubbish are you talking, Rowena?" Celeste asked.
"It's true," Adam remarked.
"Uh-huh, sure. And who are you anyway?" Celeste replied.
"I'm Adam, I'm dating Rowena's granddaughter, Stacey."
"Stacey! What the fuck, dude? She's like five years old, you fucking pedo," Celeste recoiled in disgust before pulling out her communicator while saying, "I need to call the security forces on your pedo ass."
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): …]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): 🤣 Oh my god, that's hilarious.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): 🤣]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): 🤣]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): 🤣]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): 🤣]
"I will have you know she is actually twenty-three and fully legal, thank you," Adam retorted.
"I don't know what Nagareen drugs you've been taking, mate, but you seriously need help," Celeste replied as she began to call the security services.
"Celeste, stop," Vlad instructed.
"Huh? Don't tell me you're siding with this pedo Uncle Vlad, wait, is that why you took me in as a little girl? Are you also a pedo?" Celeste asked as she backed away in horror.
[Every viewer in the known universe: …]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Did she seriously just call a progenitor a pedo? Kekeke.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): I fucking love this girl. Add her to the harem.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Fat chance of that. She thinks the streamer is a pedo.]
Vlads eye twitched slightly as he heard Celeste's words before he calmly said, "Don't talk nonsense, you brat. I just wish to learn more about this situation before I pass judgment. Besides, do you think the security services are necessary when I'm here?"
"Hmmm, I suppose you have a point," Celeste conceded as she closed her communicator and put it back in her pocket.
Vlad turned back to Rowena and asked, "If what you say is true, then how did you get here and why can I sense pureblood from this man?"
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Sense what from the streamer?]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): I don't know the sound went out when he said something.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Oh man, not again.]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): At least they're not muting the entire conversation again.]
"You can sense that, Progenitor?" Rowena asked.
"What's pureblood?" Celeste asked curiously.
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): The sound cut again. 🫤]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): It seems to be something the streamers' AI, who controls the stream, does to hide sensitive information from us.]
"After what happened in the past, I figured it was a good idea to memorise it in case it ever appeared again. I never thought it actually would, though," Vlad replied as he studied Adam closely.
"Adam is not from the known universe; he is from outside it, a planet called Earth," Rowena stated.
