58 Chapter 57: Awakening
Standing on top of the hill was Dan. He had a longsword in his hands and blood could be seen splattered on his face. He had changed his attire into a black princely robe. He had just fought with some men on his way to the hill.
A few men on horses approached him and stopped as soon as they got to the top of the hill. They all got down from their horses and bowed to him.
“Your highness, your father, the king awaits you in the Vampire Kingdom.”
Dan who had his gaze fixed on the academy slowly brought his face to glance at the men that were beside him. That was when he spotted someone familiar.
“Bryce? What are you doing here? Did you also awaken your power?” Dan asked excitedly.
“No Dan... his case is different from yours. Bryce is a half-elf, half Vampire like you. But he mustn’t awaken his powers because he has a special assignment to do for you while you keep on reigning as the Royal blood Vampire.” One of the vampires said. He was the leader of the group and looks more muscular than the others.
“Okay, I understand,” Dan said as he turned his face away. All the men that were with him are all vampires, blood Sucker creatures. They are capable of draining people’s blood to death. Although Dan didn’t like the sound of draining people’s blood and despises people who do that he couldn’t deny the fact that he was also a part of the people he despises. He would also be sucking blood like every one of his other families. He would kill innocent lives just to satisfy his needs and to get stronger. At first, he felt it was a bad thing to do but lately after experiencing how strong Kevin was, Dan decided to accept his fate.
There was this guy Dan met when he was still in high school, Harry. He used to spy on Dan all the time which Dan disliked.
The spying didn’t stop even after Dan entered the mage academy. On the very first day they entered the academy when Kevin and Dan had gone to the library to read, Dan saw the guy again, spying on him. But he won’t let him go this time around, so he left Kevin inside the library and went after Harry.
.....
Harry had also wanted to speak with Dan for a very long time and now was the right time. He planned on making Dan follow after him. So he exited the library and made his way toward the roof of the dorm building. Dan followed after him and made sure he didn’t lose sight of him till they got to the roof.
He wanted to know the reason why Harry always spies and follows him around, so he chased after him as he goes up to the roof of the dormitory building.
But before Harry passed through the door of the roof, Dan grabbed his hands and dragged him into the roof with him.
As soon as the two students got to the roof, they both started a fight all of sudden. But the winner was clear as Dan was defeated by Harry with just a few punches and kicks here and there.
That was when Harry explained his reason for following him all around secretly.
He explained that Dan doesn’t smell like an elf or fairy and not even a human but rather a Vampire.
“What is a Vampire?”
“I know you would have noticed that you are weak and are not capable of learning strong magic, unlike other people.”
Although Dan will be able to learn magic due to his vampiric nature, his magic will be weak and it will be for a limited time. Vampires are creatures who are unable to learn Magic but because Dan’s mother was an elf, Dan was able to create magic before he finally awakened his true self.
Awakening his true self meant becoming a vampire and not an Elf. The Vampire trait was more than the Elf trait in his body, so he could either become a Vampire or stay as he is without being able to use the powers of both races as he wished. Dan wanted to stay as he was but he knew he would never become the strong person he had always imagined. He wanted to test out the capabilities of being a Vampire but he wouldn’t be able to do so if he doesn’t awaken his true self.
He ignored Harry’s words and explanation as he head back to his dorm room but ever since then, Dan did not see Harry again until later. On the night before Dan and Kevin fought in the weapon hall class, Harry appeared to him again and asked if he have thought about the matter.
Dan was still unsure of this so he told Harry to wait for a little more time. He wanted to know if he was so useless in his current state and had thought of sparring with some of the students in the school luckily for him, he fought with Kevin and then realized how weak he was. Out of rage and jealousy, Dan had called for Harry and they proceeded on the Awakening process of turning him into a full vampire.
“Harry, are you sure my brothers will be okay?” Dan was concerned about Zoe and Reed. He would be leaving them for a different world.
“How many times do I have to say this Dan, they are not your brothers. They are orphans but you are not. You must fulfill. Focus on yourself and not them. Come on let’s go guys, we have a long journey ahead of us.” Harry said as he climbed on his horse.
The vampires climbed on the horse but Dan stood where he was, lost in his thoughts. Apart from his used-to-be brothers, Dan was worried about Lexa and he would be honest, he felt bad for fighting Kevin and for the hateful words he said to him.
“What did I do? why did I mess up everything.” Kevin lamented as he rested on the white horse that was in front of him. It was the horse he would be riding to the vampire world.
The vampires glanced and waited for Dan to climb the horse but he didn’t and just bowed his face down as he rested on the horse.
“Hey! Let’s go..” Harry was getting annoyed and had called out for him. But when he saw that Dan won’t listen, he got down from his horse. Placing a piece of clothing on his nose, Dan fell asleep immediately.
Harry sighed as he pat Dan on the shoulder. “Don’t worry you’ll get over it once you reach the Vampire world.”
