Immensely

“Well...it’s confirmed...Vampire.”

Rising from the corpse of the little girl, pendant in hand, the thing left the altar. Descending from the make shift ceremonial site, was one of the most beautiful women Marius had ever laid eyes on...regal, graceful...and covered in blood clashing with her deathly pale skin.

A predator in every way...Vampire...

Marius always knew that the possibility was there...how fortunate he was right about that, but also incredibly unfortunate. The situation just became dire.

The creature kept looking at the Rune Blade, not even a frown or smile deforming the face of human perfection...what a vile mockery, a joke upon nature.

It looked to Marius after it stopped with twelve feet of him. That same voice continued to bounce around in his skull, “Why have you come, fly? Why do you seek the spider?”

Marius gave the creature a look of equal kind, not giving her any reaction that was more than necessary to deal with it. He doused his blade with the oil he was holding onto and assumed a combat stance, ready for any sort of attacks she was going to send his way.

“To do my job. Nothing else.”

At that moment, something happened to the Vampire. Her brows furrowed, causing way more creases and wrinkles than the act should of had to the creature’s face. The look of serene perfection and beauty becoming the face of wrath itself.

The creature put the amulet upon its neck and Marius sneered. There was something foul about that amulet, though he couldn’t place quite what. But when the Vampire wore it and rose her ceremonial dagger, he was getting a faint idea. The aura around this creature became more intense, and exceptionally foul. Couple that with the ritualistic **** of the girl and...

“Execrism Magic...the art of stealing from the gods...”

A pit started to form in Marius’s stomach. When he thought it couldn’t get any worse...it just did.

He couldn’t help but gaze towards the girl’s corpse before looking to the pendant. He narrowed his eyes.

“I will free you.”
