As soon as luke Falcon left the house, james called an emergency meeting of all family heads.
Falcon House – Meeting Hall
The grand hall was filled with quiet murmurs as each elder sat at their designated table. At the center, the main chair was occupied by hannry, and beside him sat james, the current head of the family.
On the other side of hannry sat a man dressed in dark blue robes — the family magician, named Danial — a 4th-level magician user.
In every powerful vampire family, a magician was essential. These magicians, known as "cursed vampires" or "distorted vampires," were not born with natural vampire energy. Instead, during the time of their birth, their mother would die, and her soul would be absorbed into the child's soul — creating a balance with nature.. This unnatural bond gave them abilities to cantrol the natural power.
But since "cursed vampire" sounded too disgraceful, they simply called themselves magicians — and over the centuries, the term stuck.
magicians were rare: only 5 in every 100 vampires were born like this. Their roles were crucial — from healing, to creating potions, reading omens, and training the next generation of magic users.
Vampires respected magicians deeply, often refusing to fight them directly — because where vampires break nature's rules through brute force, magicians become one with nature… and nature never fights fair.
Even now, Danial, though only a 4th-level magician, was a force that even james would struggle to defeat.
Danial spoke first:
Danial: "I've also felt luke's power rising. He's in the final phase of breaking the Silver barrier. He could become a Half-Gold Vampire at any moment now."
hannry nodded.
hannry: "Yes, I saw it too. What do you think, james? Once Falcon family has two Half-Golds, their chances of recovering their lost glory rise sharply. And that old man of theirs — he might finally begin to heal..."
A man seated beside james spoke next. He was john, a business strategist and a Silver 1st Grade Vampire.
john: "Even if luke becomes Half-Gold, they'll still have only one Silver vampire — his eldest son, who's just 2nd Grade. The rest of their family is stuck in Beta levels.
His younger son is also in Beta Second Grade. And that useless boy of theirs? He spends his days drinking and gambling with border tribes…"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Another family member added:
"You're forgetting luke's cousin's son — blake. He's currently at Underworld Academy, and he's a 2nd-level magician, right Danial?"
Danial confirmed: "Yes, he's 22 years old. He shows the same potential as the legendary magicians of their family. He could become one of the greats."
john: "Fine, I'll admit the Falcon family still has some talent. But what do we gain from this marriage? Only they benefit.
Our daughter — Queen — is a genius! She's in Beta 1st Grade at just 20 and could become Alpha any day. How can we sacrifice her… especially for someone like him?"
The entire room burst into agreement.
Suddenly, a commanding voice thundered through the hall — hannry.
The room fell into silence.
hannry: "You speak of Queen's greatness, and I agree…
But do you really think the Falcon family came unprepared?
luke arriving here at the exact moment his powers are about to evolve — it wasn't a coincidence. It was a message."
Danial: "Father is right. luke came here to remind us — the Falcon family isn't finished yet.
And their elder, the Half-Gold Vampire…
He was injured when he was close to ascending to Gold. That war took everything from him."
hannry (to james): "Tell them what we discussed."
james stood up.
james: "According to my calculations, luke will reach Half-Gold within a month. Once he does, that elder — Sai — will be free to resume his training.
At his strength, he could reach Gold level in just one year."
A hush fell over the room.
john (quietly): "We hadn't thought of that… But can we really be sure that elder will recover? He was badly injured in the war…"
hannry: "It's been 40 years — more than enough time to heal.
He was faking his weakness until someone powerful rose again in their family.
It was a way to hide — from both allies and enemies."
A heavy silence fell.
hannry: "Last year, before I became Gold, I met him.
One glance was all it took — he told me I'd ascend soon.
He looked… healthy. Strong. Alive.
If even one Gold Vampire rises in their family again… it won't be long before they return to what they once were."
Everyone remembered.
Once, the Falcon and Falcon families ruled the entire North and East.
Their names struck fear.
If not for the great war, no family could've stood against them.
james: "Right now, we may dominate the four families of Sector B, but the Falcon family isn't far behind.
Once luke becomes Half-Gold, they'll rise above the rest.
They'll have:
– 1 Half-Gold Vampire (luke)
– 1 potential Gold (Sai)
– 2 magicians: blake (Level 2) and Arthar (just broke into Level 4)
– Arthar is married to a 2nd Grade Silver Vampire from the Smith family, Sector A
– luke's younger son, only 23, is in Beta Second Grade and could become Alpha next 2 year.
– And even Duke — the so-called 'useless one' — wasn't he the kid who reached Noob 2rd Grade at just 7 years old?
Something happened to him… and you all know who his father was.
magnus…"
The name hit like lightning.
Even hannry — a Gold Vampire — was shaken.
