Suppressing a gag reflex, he could have only imagined the anguish that one must have gone through if they were actually turned. On the other hand, even as his heart finally died out, albeit temporarily, he figured that there must have been an incredible ecstasy beyond such a turning.<br/><br/>Naturally he would have been able to get to spend the rest of eternity with his princess. At first he didn't much like the idea of taking the blood of something, but a hunger overcame him and he swallowed every last drop before effortlessly leaping straight over the horse to mount him.<br/><br/>It took almost no time to ride his horse to the castle. Something about his new abilities coupled with the fact that the horse seemed to be raised to work with vampire royalty made it a more comfortable and swift ride than he had ever had before.<br/><br/>At first the smells in the dining room were intoxicating. They overwhelmed him for a time, but eventually he focused himself on a single one.
