"His majesty, Vel Nor", Fang revealed to the two vampires seated within his study, "as simple as it sounds all I can say is", Fang's eyes glistened, "we do not have time."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYRLwFv2aB
"That's why we are here ..." Magrez said only to be interrupted by Vel Nor.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHNMqOkcY8
"The fact that we came for help is certain", said Vel Nor as he took off his cloak, removing his mask, "but the question that lurks before us is how we shall be able to achieve the socalled objective with your help ?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gWsqko1ba
"Great reasoning for a king", replied Fang, placing the index finger of his right hand above the flicker of flame on a candle at the side of his desk. The flashing lightning reflecting itself within Fang's glistening eyes, Vel Nor and Magrez wondered what lurked within the depths of this schemer's mind.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcMqH1nV5n
"Great reasoning indeed his majesty king Vel Nor", Fang repeated, "what you mean by that statement could be about what you stand to gain by coming to my side, isn't that right ?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ228ydldH1G
Vel Nor was surprised and managed to keep his composure, the youth had been able to see through both his thoughts and words at the same time, projecting a perfect answer and counter that could leave his listener with no other alternative but to give out the most certain answer, simply by confirming it, Vel Nor now knew that he wasn't seated before an ordinary being but a mastermind at his prime.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yK0vh90hF
"What we stand to gain ?" Vel Nor threw the question back, "will it be longer-term or just for the present ?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cv4cZ9J7f
"You gain both", Fang smiled at Vel Nor as gave his answer, picking up the book he had dropped on his table and flipping through the pages, his eyes glistened with delight, "whoever", the flash of lightning and the boom of thunder accompanying his words, "stands by my side", he said, "gains both the present and the future."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RUYZetwej
"How do you intend to deal with ..."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTL6qwE4nZ
"You mean the seven elite families and the Bill of Five Annexations ?" Fang replied daftly, it was obvious what the prince was aiming at, he just took the initiative of answering before he was even through with his question.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHLstSoVt3
"What makes you so scared of a grand scale of ignorance and stupidity ?" Fang asked.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtQRrwJoTg
"You question leaves us in the dark young Balkyre" the king responded, he too picking up a book from the table.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY8j2AAKfT
"It is really absurd how they think they can gain from those who's very purpose of existence is their extermination."

That infernal army stood before the expanse separating them from the Earth Garments. This was a world of their dreams, a world through which, they could achieve the ultimate and supreme form of dominance across all the realms within Hayra. This was the campaign of crushing the heavens, defying the laws of the celestials, how could they back away from this and when the word "they" was mentioned, it only meant him, VEGRAZ KERA FIEND GOR. VEGRAZ the lord of the Pheltorian infernal realm, a realm wrought with darkness and war, a realm where the one's survival depended on the power he possessed, become a general or a footsoldier, if not, one was bound to die.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMAZhl70O6
"Charge !" Vegraz ordered.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMn0OuSEhq
His army roared in unison, watching their emperor charge head-on into the assault, they too followed suit as they trailed behind him, invading the plains of this strange world. Vegraz knew it wouldn't be that easy, this desert terrain and its calm dunes seemed unwary of their presence, but within, lurked monstrous sensations and beasts of varying savagery that would tear apart all who dared defy the laws of existence by crossing these boundaries. But Vegraz couldn't sit back and watch, especially when came to power, watching an astral element that could give him the power to rule over all pass him by all in the name of cowardice, Vegraz could see no other reason why he would step back from such an opportunity, if it wasn't cowardice, what else.

The skies slowly turned red as those turbulent flashes of enflamed lightning tore the skies apart, making the earth tremble and quake. What was a calm realm and terrain, soon became a tsunami of sand and stones, cyclones and blizzards of sand rose from nowhere as pillars of fire with helical lightning trailing their sides fell from the skies and comets rained, falling upon the assaulting army, it had no other aim but to wipe them into oblivion, inexistence.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUgcH7GIF7
Vegraz couldn't hold back the laughter within him as he rode on his infernal beast, a wolf with three heads, its eyes raging and blazing of the fury that lurked within his soul, this was what it was created for to confront the obstacles that separated it from the goal of its rider, whether to annihilate or to race against time, the beast was sure to carry out the order to the death.

"They were created to keep them in shackles", said Fang, "they have nothing to gain, maybe for the present, but in the long-term no one, will survive what is to come."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqDW6L7kgl
"Doesn't that mean we have to stop the parliament and the seven families from passing out the Bill of Five Annexations ?" Megraz pointed out, the panic on his eyes.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRQuB5uYh7
"No", Fang replied calmly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQVMAClAOK
His answer startled both prince and king. Why wouldn't he do his utmost to stop something that could impede their progress, a decision made by the foe and their allies that could throw their plans amok ? It was certain tht the scheming vampire had something else in mind.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFyLddpc4y
"Why Balkyre Fang ?" The king asked.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWgCMNjF3W
"Do you stop your enemies when you see them marching to their deaths ?" He asked.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyTnxmXiv9
"Of course not", Vel Nor replied.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQtk5c95Ff
"As I have said earlier", Fang said rising from the table, walking towards the balcony which revealed his garden stretching to the gates of his estate, "the issue of the seven elite families isn't a problem that you should be worrying about", he grinned, his eyes glistening, "something else lurks in the dark, an apocalypse of the creatures of the lesser realms who are about to be exterminated", shrugging as he turned to face them, "it's not like I care", Vel Nor and Magrez saw his grin as his eyes glistened red, showing the raging emotions clawing at his soul, "in the world of the strong, the greatest sin one could ever commit is the sin of being weak."

Vegraz was thrilled as that army rose from the depths of this desert charging at his assaulting men as they attacked the gates which led to the realms of the Earth Garments, did they think they could stop him ? What a joke.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RgFD2aWEx
"Men !" Vegraz roared, " set them ablaze !"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzZE9bZZHC
"The archers took the forefront of the attack, with their cannons and flaring bows and arrows, the sailing ships lurking at the skies, Vegraz's army unleashed a rain of flames upon the soldiers who rose from the dust.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xWvTxUBOr
The boom was intense, the earth quaked as that rain of flames set the moving sands ablaze, they were just standing above normal ground, now they were standing above a sea of fire.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uvJiHZjis
Vegraz charged, he couldn't wait for the second volley of arrows to hot the ground before he began his assault, this was to show his men how to live as a true warrior, relentlessly crushing the foes, how could one hold back such a raging desire to win, the thirst to conquer, exhaling Vegraz knew, this was it.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pz7UzQIn5
Thrusting his lance of flames forward, Vegraz stabbed the first soldier made of thick earth before him, driving him backwards as the lance impaled his being, Vegraz pressed the vanguard of this army. Unleashing an aura of destruction, he sent that mountain of flames roaring to the skies, blowing away hundreds of this ever rising army, and one he raged, continuing his slaughter, he sent them falling as they kept coming, even though they were infinite in numbers, that didn't matter, his will to destroy them was unending itself.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI7cP4X8zb
His army had completely immersed itself into battle, they kept the rear under control, sending the army of stones back, even though they kept coming, wave after wave, Vegraz's men were never tired of holding them back.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk4j0qKLBw
Vegraz roared, his adrenaline no longer able to contain itself, his lance slithering through the ranks of soldiers like an enraged serpent, it threw them into confusion, they just couldn't see him coming, and sent them ablaze as they fell to the ground. Rank after rank, soldier after soldier, the growls and the heat, the burning skies, an earth that had now become a sea of flames, this was what he was going to turn the Earth Garments into, a sea of blood and flames.

"If you but knew what lay ahead of you", Fang said, "you wouldn't even see the seven elite families as a threat. Because far into the horizons, farther than you can imagine, realms are waging endless wars to see the ones who will emerge victorious. Only the ones who win, will be able to gain the right to live. If you cannot survive the impending apocalypse my friends", Fang stared deep into their eyes, "then there is no hope for you, not to talk of this little kingdom of yours."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbVXJmVL2F
Fang's words sank into the hearts of both the king and the prince. From what they had been told today, they had realized the edge which they had gained above the others when it came to what they knew that was coming ahead of them.

Vegraz's eyes glistened red as he sent the battlefield raging and quaking beneath his might, the frail threads of the atmosphere tore apart as he bolted through the distance like a sonic being, his motion had reached the height of frenzy and he had become invisible.
