I kept at a steady pace and it wasn't long before I approached a large circular structure, statues stood either side of a large arched gateway, stopping before I entered I look at the two imposing statues, their eyes seemed to glow in the darkness, drawing my sword I slowly walk through the huge gated structure, watching the the statues turning round and walking backwards expecting something to either show themselves or attack.<br/><br/>Slowly walking to the center of an arena, watching for movement, sword at the ready, I hadn't noticed the torches burning brightly around the arena, flickering, the glowing light casting shadows on the many statues that surrounded me, I shouted aloud hoping for an answer,<br/><br/>"Hey"<br/><br/>No reply just a small echo, again,<br/><br/>"Hey!"<br/><br/>I small gust of wind cut across the arena, I shouted again,<br/><br/>"Hey!"<br/><br/>A small female voice answered , she was behind me, raising my sword ready to strike whatever it was that dared to silently appear behind me, I spun round, sword swinging down towards my quarry, I faced her, an old woman stood before me, looking into those grey eyes, I stopped my swing inches from her neck, she stood her ground, she didn't even flinch, was it bravery? Was it the fact that she somehow knew that I would stop?<br/><br/>I dropped my sword, the old woman smiled, her black teeth showing her age, she raised her hand and spoke,<br/><br/>"You are Lord Marius, Overlord of the vampyre race, you will feel the pain of every one of your followers, but you will find love, an undying love, which will follow you and be joined with you for the rest of time."<br/><br/>I knelt before the old woman and without a word from me, she placed her hand on my head and said,<br/><br/>"You will be able to live without fear of the sun, you will have your vampire powers, you will give shelter to those who ask if you feel that it is deserved. You will show a mercy that no vampire has ever shown before,"<br/><br/>The old woman went on to say some magical spells to give the demands of me a power, I stayed knelt before her, I couldn't move, then my eyes wandered to my left, a woman, a woman with strawberry blonde hair, stood there watching me, her flowing gown blowing in the breeze, the outline of her body showing through the gown because the light of the torch behind her.
