Eryndor hesitated for a moment, weighing the risks and benefits of Valois's offer. The promise of immortality and supernatural powers was tempting, but the unknown consequences of becoming a vampire made him wary.
Valois seemed to sense Eryndor's hesitation. "Think of it as a new chapter in your life, Eryndor," he said, his voice persuasive. "You'll gain powers beyond your wildest dreams, and you'll live forever. The world will be yours to explore and conquer."
Eryndor took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright, I'll do it."
Valois smiled, his fangs gleaming in the dim light. "Excellent choice, Eryndor. The transformation will not be easy, but I promise you, it will be worth it."
With that, Valois leaned in, his fangs bared. Eryndor felt a brief moment of fear as Valois's fangs sank into his neck. The pain was sharp, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of euphoria.
As the transformation began, Eryndor felt his body change. His senses grew sharper, his strength increased, and his mind became more alert. He felt a new power coursing through his veins, and he knew that he was becoming something more than human.
The transformation was not without its challenges, however. Eryndor felt his body burning with an inner fire, and his mind was filled with strange, vivid images. He was aware of Valois's presence, guiding him through the process, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he was losing himself in the process.
As the transformation reached its climax, Eryndor felt himself being reborn. He was no longer human, but something more. Something powerful. Something immortal.
When the transformation was complete, Eryndor looked at Valois with new eyes. "What now?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Valois smiled, his eyes gleaming with approval. "Now, you learn to control your new powers. You learn to hunt, to feed, and to survive in this new world. And then... then you will join me in my quest for power."
Eryndor's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with questions and doubts. But he knew that he had to play along, at least for now. He nodded, and Valois led him out of the alleyway, into a new world of darkness and power.
