Cyne was surprised at the vampiress' change in attitude. And her bow managed to shock him even more. Her words weren't harsh, but she said them like it stung. As he followed behind her, he tried to look at her as if she weren't a vampire, something possibly human inside her. As they neared the drawbridge, he looked down into the waters. He saw nothing, the water was bleek and murky, but he could tell something was in there. When she caught him looking, she advised not falling in. The gate padded softly under his regal boots, and as he walked through the gates, he was amazed to see the city before him. It was flat, unlike his father's palace, and in every direction he looked, there seemed to be more buildings. The spectacle took his breath away, it was almost weird seeing the non-warring side of the vampires, their flat cities.<br/><br/>Something inside him stirred, and he realized this city was now his home. He'd be stuck here, for better or worse, with the queen until he died. Which would be well before she did. In fact, he'd almost assumed she'd drain him dry as soon as they passed through the portal, considering him a delicacy, the heir to the Arvadian throne. What was she keeping him alive for? Torture on more about the humans? Maybe leverage for the future? He didn't know what kind of intentions this vampiress had, and looking at her from behind, he almost couldn't even tell she was a vampire.
