The boys had finally arrived at the mountain, the place where they had first arrived. Tobias[Logan] and Zamier[Vorden] had recognized the entrance as it was the same when they had exited from with the others. It seemed like Seth[Timmy] really did know his way through the forest after all.
"Are we sure we should go through this entrance?" Zamier[Vorden] asked. "If you remember, this way the tunnel will only lead us back to the bridge that Archer[Quinn] broke, it might be hard to get in, and there was also a small problem with that... army."
"Army?" Seth[Timmy] asked, trying to figure out just what they were referring to.
"He's talking about wendigos. When we first arrived, we were placed in a lab, and there was an army of them chasing us." Tobias[Logan] replied.
Zamier[Vorden] shook his head, there was a reason why he was being careful with his words because he didn't exactly want to frighten to frail Seth[Timmy]. But Tobias[Logan] was blunt as always.
"Oh, I guess I must have missed them." A small slightly higher-pitched voice was heard, as a figure seemed to hope onto Zamier[Vorden]'s shoulder, which was Wyatt[Borden].
"Do you remember the entrance you came out from?" Tobias[Logan] asked.
Wyatt[Borden] pointed towards the top of the mountain, and the others now had an idea of how he had missed facing off against all of the wendigos. "I just kept jumping going higher and higher, if there was something in my way, I would just punch my way out, " Wyatt[Borden] replied with a smile.
Based on his appearance now, they had forgotten just how strong this little fella was not too long ago.
"Seth[Timmy], maybe it's best if you head back now, it's going to be tough there. Maybe wendigos aren't the only things we will see inside." Said Zamier[Vorden].
"No, " Seth[Timmy] replied immediately. "My job is to be your guide, and I will be with you at all times. I know you think I will slow you guys down, or maybe I'm not strong enough. You don't understand how hard it is for a vampire to get involved in stuff like that, which was why I didn't help. Remember, I'm a vampire too. I'm stronger, and faster than both of you naturally and I learnt some of the book."
Just then, spreading hands lifting his two arms mist started to form. He swirled the around, and the mist followed. It looked like he had indeed learnt the mist Skill[ability] that Harrison[Edward] had used.
"Let the boy go in, " Simon[Leo] said. "I think it will be a good experience for you all. You must learn to get as strong as you can. As for where we should enter from, I think I can solve that problem for us."
Simon[Leo], with his Skill[ability], was able to see from a bird's eye view at times. On top of this, whatever didn't have an aura he would able to see a thin outline, like a wireframe. It was hard for people to call him blind when his Skill[ability] allowed him to actually see more than others.
When using his Skill[ability], he had seen several entrances around the mountain top. There wasn't just the one, and he had counted at least five, including one on the way when walking here.
The group chose one of the closest entrances to the one they had existed from before. They had no clue where each one would lead anyway, so they felt like there was no point spending too much time on picking.
The one who was in front of the group now, was Simon[Leo]. While walking over, he was thinking of the group of kids. They had told him their theory, how they believed that the vampires might have been involved in creating the Oregon[Dalki]. At least they were able to develop beast similar to it.
Although Simon[Leo] himself was a vampire, he never considered himself or even Archer[Quinn] as a part of them. He felt their group as separate. If it was true and the vampires really did create the Oregon[Dalki], then he had already decided that they would be his enemy as well.
Right now, he was on Archer[Quinn]'s side. Not the army, but with Archer[Quinn] and would hope he would be able to steer him in the right direction, like a general of some sort and he saw these kids in front of him as his troops.
Which is why if they ever needed to fight or break off from these temporary alliances with the vampires. He needed to make Archer[Quinn]'s little army, stronger.
So he thought it was best to let Seth[Timmy], and the other students fight. Get experience from this little trip. Not everything could be done on thier own.
As soon as Simon[Leo] had this thought, something strange had happened.
[A vampire knight squad has been formed]
[4/10]
[Vampire knight's buff has been applied]
[Error, three non-vampires discovered.]
[Buff will only have a 50 percent effect on non-vampires]
It was a system message, the first time Simon[Leo] had received something like this, and it looked like it had something to do with him becoming a vampire knight. When Simon[Leo] thought about looking after these kids and training them. They had gone into his squad. The buff was meant to be a 10 percent increase in all stats. However, that only applied to vampires, but it looked like non-vampires were able to do the same as well.
The message came as a small surprise, but he was sure it had something to do with Archer[Quinn]'s unique situation.
The boys had entered the entrance at this point, which looked to be another cave that dug into the mountain. Only this one rather than starting from the bottom of the mountain, started from near the middle and was heading downward.
They had entered inside, and as expected, there was a downward slope as they walked. The two vampires were able to see easily while Zamier[Vorden] and Tobias[Logan] used a few light crystals attached to the outside of their clothing.
Tobias[Logan] had designed these especially, so they weren't too bright, as to not affect his comrades. He had made this keeping in mind about the other vampires he might travel with. Not just for Simon[Leo], who wasn't affected by such lights.
There were many tunnels that would lead off and such from the original entrance they had come in from, but thankfully with Simon[Leo] guiding them, he was able to see a distance faintly down some of them. Sensing that most of the tunnels lead to a dead end.
That was when the system message had occurred, while Simon[Leo] was deep in his thoughts.
At this point and time, each one of them felt strange energy take over their body. It was a hit, a sudden dose and boost in power to them all.
"What's happening, is it something to do with the mountain?" Seth[Timmy] asked.
"It feels similar to when I took those red pills we found in the lab. Like I just feel stronger." Zamier[Vorden] replied.
"I believe that it has something to do with me, " Simon[Leo] said. "When Archer[Quinn] made me into his vampire knight, there were some changes, and it appears that this is one of them, " Simon[Leo] replied.
'Vampire knight, isn't that the leader's right-hand man?' Mill[Sil] said. It had been a while since Mill[Sil] had spoken. Honestly, while in the vampire world, his skills weren't really needed. Zamier[Vorden] was unable to copy any vampire abilities, and right now, he actually had none.
Tobias[Logan]'s Skill[ability] was useless to him, and Riha[Cia] no longer had hers. It had gone past the twenty-four hour mark, so the only thing he could rely on when fighting was his own skills. Truthfully he was happy that Simon[Leo] came along.
'No, " Mill[Sil] said. 'We have been with Archer[Quinn] the longest. We should be his right-hand man. Tell Archer[Quinn] to make us a vampire knight.'
'I understand, but it's just a title. He's not really Archer[Quinn]'s right-hand man, we're still his best friend.' Zamier[Vorden] said, trying to calm down Mill[Sil] a little. 'You know we can't become a vampire. We can't lose this power.'
Zamier[Vorden] expected Mill[Sil] to carry on complaining, but as soon as he had heard that, he decided to go back in the black room and mind his business once again. The only time he got up seemed to be when he heard Archer[Quinn]'s name.
'If I leave the vampire settlement early, maybe I should go pay them a visit.' Zamier[Vorden] thought. It was something he didn't want to do but felt like it was expected. After he had used their name several times, they still hadn't contacted him. He was sure his siblings would be making a fuss over it, so he should at least return to see what they were thinking and how they were doing.
With Simon[Leo]'s guidance, the tunnel walls started to become wider taller and bigger. The wall was no longer built with cave and stone as more metallic surfaces could be seen, and the flooring had smoothed out.
Finally, they had reached a large hanger, which had a metallic door. It looked similar to the ones at the lab they were in but different at the same time.
By the side, there was a computer, Tobias[Logan], of course, went to it to try to see if there was any way he could open it. But just like several other items in this strange mountain, it didn't listen to him at all.
"Well, the door is made from galthrium, and I can't use my Skill[ability] to open it up." He said with a smile. Which seemed strange considering he would usually be down about something like this, but the reason for him feeling happy was because he knew they were in the right place.
"It's a good thing you didn't open that door." Simon[Leo] said, "Because there is a little army of creatures on the other side."
Seth[Timmy] gulped hearing this, with his hand slightly shaking.
"Are they strong?" Zamier[Vorden] asked.
"It should be something we can deal with, " Simon[Leo] replied.
"That still doesn't help us from getting in, " Seth[Timmy] said.
Simon[Leo] started to walk forward past the group, and Tobias[Logan] went back to join the others.
"I think we better get ourselves ready." Said Zamier[Vorden], pulling out his two blades from his back.
"What do you mean?" Seth[Timmy] asked.
With his hand on the hilt of his blade around his waist. Simon[Leo] prepared himself, and in an instant. Made a slash placing his sword back into its sheath again. A few seconds later, and a red line of aura could be seen appearing on the hanger like door diagonally. Then it fell on to the floor, and the door was cut open.
On the other side, an army of wendigos.
